Business

We were incorporated in Muskegon, Michigan in 1912 as the Piston Ring Company and adopted our current name in 1988. Since 1968, we have been incorporated under the laws of Delaware, and we have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 1972.

On September 26, 2015 (the “Distribution Date”), we completed the spin-off to our stockholders (the “Spin-Off”) of all the outstanding shares of SPX FLOW, Inc. (“SPX FLOW”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPX Corporation (“SPX”) prior to the Spin-Off, which at the time of the Spin-Off held the businesses comprising our Flow Technology reportable segment, our Hydraulic Technologies business, and certain of our corporate subsidiaries (collectively, the “FLOW Business”). On the Distribution Date, each of our stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 16, 2015 (the “Record Date”) received one share of common stock of SPX FLOW for every share of SPX common stock held as of the Record Date. SPX FLOW is now an independent public company trading under the symbol “FLOW” on the New York Stock Exchange. Following the Spin-Off, SPX’s common stock continues to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trades under the ticker symbol, “SPXC”.
Prior to the Spin-Off, our businesses serving the power generation markets had a major impact on the consolidated financial results of SPX. In recent years, these businesses have experienced significant declines in revenues and profitability associated with weak demand and increased competition within the global power generation markets. Based on a review of our post-spin portfolio and the belief that a recovery within the power generation markets was unlikely in the foreseeable future, we decided that our strategic focus would be on our (i) scalable growth businesses that serve the heating and ventilation (“HVAC”) and detection and measurement markets and (ii) power transformer and process cooling systems businesses. As a result, we have been reducing our exposure to the power generation


markets as indicated by the dispositions of our dry cooling and Balcke Dürr businesses during the first and fourth quarters of 2016, respectively. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Notes 1 and 4 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of these dispositions.
In recognition of our shift away from the power generation markets, we changed the name of our Power reportable segment to “Engineered Solutions,” effective in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in Part I pertain to continuing operations only (see NoteNotes 1 and 4 to our consolidated financial statements for information on discontinued operations).

We are a diversified, global supplier of infrastructure equipment serving the HVAC, detection and measurement, power transmission and generation, and industrial markets. With operations in approximately 15 countries and over 5,000 employees, we offer a wide array of highly engineered infrastructure products with strong brands.
HVAC solutions offered by our businesses include package cooling towers, residential and commercial boilers, comfort heating, and ventilation products. Our market leading brands, coupled with our commitment to continuous innovation and focus on our customers’ needs, enables our HVAC cooling and heating businesses to serve an expanding number of industrial, commercial and residential customers. Growth for our HVAC businesses will be driven by innovation, increased scalability, and our ability to meet the needs of broader markets.
Our detection and measurement product lines encompass underground pipe and cable locators and inspection equipment, fare collection systems, communication technologies, and specialty lighting. Our detection and measurement solutions enable utilities, telecommunication providers and regulators, and municipalities and transit authorities to build, monitor and maintain vital infrastructure. Our technology and decades of experience have afforded us a strong position in specific detection and measurement markets. We intend to expand our portfolio of specialized products through new, innovative hardware and software solutions in an attempt to (i) further capitalize on the detection and measurement markets we currently serve and (ii) expand the number of markets that we serve.
Within our engineered solutions with operations in over 35 countriesplatform, we are a leading manufacturer of medium and sales in over 150 countries around the world. Many of our productslarge power transformers, as well as process cooling equipment and innovativeheat exchangers. These solutions are playingplay a critical role in helping to meet global demand for powerelectricity transmission and energy and processed foods and beverages, particularly in emerging markets. Our total revenue in 2014 was $4,721.1, with approximately 27% from sales into emerging markets. Our key products include processing systems and components for the food and beverage industry, pumps, valves and filtration equipment used in oil and gas processing,generation. Specifically, our power transformers used by utility companies,play an integral role in the North American power grid, while our process cooling equipment and cooling systems for power generation plants and HVAC applications.

        From an end market perspective,heat exchangers assist our customers in 2014, 43% of our revenues were from sales into power and energy markets, 20% were from sales into food and beverage markets and 20% were from sales into industrial flow markets. Our product and technology offerings are concentrated in flow technology and energy infrastructure.

        Our Flow Technology reportable segment accounted for approximately 55% of our revenues in 2014 and serves the food and beverage, oil and gas,meeting their power generation and industrial flow markets. Within these markets, we are a leading provider of highly-engineered process equipment. Our core strengths include product breadth, global capabilities and the ability to create custom-engineered solutions for diverse flow processes. Over the past several years, we have strategically expanded our scale, customer relevance and global capabilities in these markets. We believe there are attractive organic and acquisition opportunities to continue to expand our Flow Technology reportable segment.


        In addition to our Flow Technology operations, we are also a leading supplier of medium power transformers for the U.S. power transmission and distribution market. Our medium power transformers range from a base rating of 10 Mega Volt Ampere ("MVA") to over 100 MVA and are uniquely designed to meet the requirements of each customer and substation.

        We also have leading market positions in thermal heat transfer products for power generation plants. Our primary power generation offerings include cooling systems, large scale stationary and rotating heat exchangers and pollution control systems. We supply these technologies into many types of traditional and alternative power generation facilities. We are well-positioned to benefit from new or retrofit investments in natural gas, coal, nuclear, solar and geothermal power plants.

        We focus on a number of operating initiatives, including innovation and new product development, continuous improvement driven by lean methodologies, supply chain management, expansion in emerging markets, information technology infrastructure improvement, and organizational and talent development. These initiatives are designed to, among other things, capture synergies within ourneeds. The businesses to ultimately drive revenues, profit margin and cash flow growth. We believe our businesses are well-positioned for long-term growth based on our operating initiatives, the potential within the current markets served and the potential for expansion into additional markets.

        Our Board of Directors and executive management teamplatform are committed to creating shareholderdriving value through continued operational improvement, generating profitable growth, narrowing our strategic focus around our Flow Technology end markets and disciplined execution of our capital allocation methodology. As a complement to this strategy, we also focus on environmental sustainabilityoperational and conducting our business with a high level of ethics and integrity.

        On October 29, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors had unanimously approved a plan for a tax-free spin-off of our Flow Technology reportable segment and our Hydraulic Technologies business, a business currently reported within Industrial Products and Services and Other. The spin-off would create a new stand-alone, publicly-traded company focused on providing highly engineered technologies and services to customers in the global power and energy, food and beverage, and industrial markets. We currently expect the transaction to be completed during the third quarter of 2015.

        However, there are no assurances as to when the planned spin-off will be completed, if at all, or if the spin-off will be completed in the form or within the one-time cost range currently contemplated.

Acquisitions


Acquisitions

We did not acquire any businesses in 2016, 2015 or 2014. However, we regularly review and negotiate potential acquisitions in the ordinary course of business, some of which are or may be material. We plan to evaluate potential acquisitions in the future and we may consider acquisitions of businesses with more than $1,000.0 in annual revenues.


Divestitures

We regularly review and negotiate potential divestitures in the ordinary course of business, some of which are or may be material. As a result of this continuous review, we determined that certain of our businesses would be better strategic fits with other companies or investors. We report businesses or asset groups as discontinued operations when the operations and cash flows of the business or asset group have been or are expected to be eliminated, when we do not expect to have any continuing involvement with the business or asset group after the disposal transaction, and when we have met these additional six criteria:

        During the fourth quarter of 2014, our Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan for a tax-free spin-off of our Flow Technology reportable segment and our Hydraulic Technologies business, and the creation of a new stand-alone, publicly-traded company focused on providing highly engineered technologies and services to customers in the global power and energy, food and beverage, and industrial markets. In connection with the planned spin-off transaction, we determined that we would no longer pursue the sale of our Flash Technologies business, a business that was previously reported in discontinued operations. Accordingly, we have reclassified the results of operations, assets and liabilities, and cash flows of this business to continuing operations for all periods presented. This business is included within Industrial Products and Services and Other.

We are a multinational corporation with operations in over 35approximately 15 countries. Sales outside the United States were $2,487.2, $2,560.0$237.1, $303.6 and $2,663.8$391.8 in 2016, 2015 and 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on our international operations.


Research and Development

We are actively engaged in research and development programs designed to improve existing products and manufacturing methods and to develop new products to better serve our current and future customers. These efforts encompass certain of our products with divisional engineering teams coordinating their resources. We place particular emphasis on the development of new products that are compatible with, and build upon, our manufacturing and marketing capabilities.

We expensed $51.1, $47.3$29.1, $28.6 and $49.0$30.2 in 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, respectively, of research activities relating to the development and improvement of our products.


Patents/Trademarks

We own approximately 370164 domestic and 250243 foreign patents (comprising approximately 213 patent “families”), including approximately 2034 patents that were issued in 2014,2016, covering a variety of our products and manufacturing methods. We also own a number of registered trademarks. Although in the aggregate our patents and trademarks are of considerable importance in the operation of our business, we do not consider any single patent or trademark to be of such importance that its absence would adversely affect our ability to conduct business as presently constituted. We are both a licensor and licensee of patents. For more information, please refer to "Risk“Risk Factors."

Outsourcing and Raw Materials

We manufacture many of the components used in our products; however, our strategy includes outsourcing certain components and sub-assemblies to other companies where strategically and economically beneficial. In instances where we depend on third-party suppliers for outsourced products or components, we are subject to the risk of customer dissatisfaction with the quality or performance of the products we sell due to supplier failure. In addition, business difficulties experienced by a third-party supplier can lead to the interruption of our ability to obtain the outsourced product and ultimately to our inability to supply products to our customers. We believe that we generally will be able to continue to obtain adequate supplies of key products or appropriate substitutes at reasonable costs.

We are subject to increases in the prices of many of our key raw materials, including petroleum-based products, steel and copper. In recent years, we have generally been able to offset increases in raw material costs. Occasionally, we are subject to long-term supplier contracts, which may increase our exposure to pricing fluctuations. We use forward contracts to manage our exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials ("(“commodity contracts"contracts”). See Note 1312 to our consolidated financial statements for further information on commodity contracts.

Due to our diverse products and services, as well as the wide geographic dispersion of our production facilities, we use numerous sources for the raw materials needed in our operations. We are not significantly dependent on any one or a limited number of suppliers, and we have been able to obtain suitable quantities of raw materials at competitive prices.


Competition

Our competitive position cannot be determined accurately in the aggregate or by reportable or operating segment since we and our competitors do not offer all the same product lines or serve all the same markets. In addition, specific reliable comparative figures are not available for many of our competitors. In most product groups, competition comes from numerous concerns, both large and small. The principal methods of competition are service, product performance, technical innovation and price. These methods vary with the type of product sold. We believe we compete effectively on the basis of each of these factors as they apply to the various products and services offered. See "Reportable Segments and Other Operating Segments"“Reportable Segments” above for a discussion of our competitors.



Environmental Matters

See "MD“MD&A — Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates — Contingent Liabilities," "Risk Factors"” “Risk Factors” and Note 1413 to our consolidated financial statements for information regarding environmental matters.


Employment


Employment

At December 31, 2014,2016, we had over 14,0005,000 employees. SevenSix domestic collective bargaining agreements covered approximately 1,0001,050 employees. We also had various collective labor arrangements as of that date covering certain non-U.S. employee groups. While we generally have experienced satisfactory labor relations, we are subject to potential union campaigns, work stoppages, union negotiations and other potential labor disputes.


Executive Officers

See Part III, Item 10 of this report for information about our executive officers.


Other Matters

No customer or group of customers that, to our knowledge, are under common control accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues for any period presented.

Our businesses maintain sufficient levels of working capital to support customer requirements, particularly inventory. We believe our businesses'businesses’ sales and payment terms are generally similar to those of our competitors.

Many of our businesses closely follow changes in the industries and end markets they serve. In addition, certain businesses have seasonal fluctuations. Demand for certain products in our Flow Technology and Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segments is correlated to contract timing on large construction contracts and, in our Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segment, is also driven by seasonal weather patterns, both of which factors may cause significant fluctuations from period to period. Historically, our businesses generally tend to be stronger in the second half of the year.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

(All currency and share amounts are in millions)

You should consider the risks described below and elsewhere in our documents filed with the SEC before investing in any of our securities. We may amend, supplement or add to the risk factors described below from time to time in future reports filed with the SEC.

We face risks related to our planned spin-off of our flow business.

        We have announced our intention to spin-off our Flow Technology reportable segment and our Hydraulic Technologies business, comprising approximately $2,800.0 of our company's total revenues for 2014. Unanticipated developments, including possible delays in obtaining required approvals, uncertainty of the financial markets, and challenges relating to the structure of the transaction or resulting companies, could delay or prevent the planned transaction, or cause it to occur on less favorable terms or conditions than projected. In addition, in connection with the spin-off, we and the new stand-alone company that will result from the spin-off will need to incur new indebtedness to refinance our existing credit facilities. We and the new stand-alone company may be unable to obtain such indebtedness or any indebtedness that we and the new stand-alone company obtain may contain terms that are materially less favorable than the terms of our existing credit facilities. Even if the transaction is completed as and on the timetable currently contemplated, we may not realize some or all projected benefits, or expenses relating to the planned transaction may be significantly higher than projected.

        Additionally, the planned transaction requires significant time and attention, which could distract management and other employee attention from the day-to-day operation of our business. Following completion of the transaction, there can be no guarantee the combined value of the common stock of the two publicly-traded companies will equal or exceed the value of our stock had the transaction not occurred.

The planned spin-off of our flow business could result in substantial tax liability to us and our stockholders.

        Among the conditions to completing the spin-off will be our receipt of opinions of tax counsel satisfactory to us as to the tax-free treatment of the spin-off and certain related transactions. However, if the factual assumptions or representations upon which the opinions are based are inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, we will not be able to rely on the opinions. Furthermore, the opinions will not be binding on the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or the courts. Accordingly, the IRS or the courts may challenge the conclusions set forth in the opinions and any such challenge could prevail. If, notwithstanding receipt of the opinions, the spin-off or a related transaction is determined to be taxable, we could be subject to a substantial tax liability. In addition, if the spin-off is determined to be taxable, each holder of our common stock who receives shares of the new stand-alone company would generally be treated as receiving a taxable distribution of property in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received.

        Even if the spin-off otherwise qualifies as a tax-free transaction, the distribution could be taxable to us (but not to our stockholders) in certain circumstances if future significant acquisitions of our stock or the stock of the new stand-alone company are deemed to be part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the spin-off. In this event, the resulting tax liability would be substantial. In connection with the spin-off, we expect to enter into a tax matters agreement with the new stand-alone company, under which it will agree (i) not to enter into any transaction without our consent that could cause any portion of the spin-off to be taxable to us, and (ii) to indemnify us for any tax liabilities resulting from such a transaction. This obligation and potential tax liability may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of us or of the new stand-alone company. In addition, we may have to restructure various aspects of the transaction in response to tax considerations, which could subject us to significant additional costs.

Difficulties presented by international economic, political, legal, accounting and business factors could negatively affect our business.

        We are an increasingly global company. In 2014, over 50% of our revenues were generated outside the United States. We have placed a particular emphasis on expanding our presence in emerging markets. As part of our strategy, we manage businesses with manufacturing facilities worldwide. Our reliance on non-U.S. revenues and non-U.S. manufacturing bases exposes us to a number of risks, including:


        Any of the above factors or other factors affecting social and economic activity in China, South Africa and other emerging markets or affecting the movement of people and products into and from these countries to our major markets, including North America and Europe, could have a significant negative effect on our operations.

Many of the markets in which we operate are cyclical or are subject to industry events, and our results have been and could be affected as a result.

Many of the markets in which we operate are subject to general economic cycles or industry events. In addition, certain of our businesses are subject to market-specific cycles and weather-related fluctuations, including, but not limited to:

•
The oilHVAC; and
•Power transmission and gas, chemical, mining and petrochemical markets;distribution products.

•
Food and beverage markets; and

•
The electric power and infrastructure markets.

In addition, contract timing on large construction projects, including foodthose relating to power transmission and beveragedistribution systems, projects in the oil and gas industries, andcommunications technology, fare collection systems, process cooling systems and towers, and power generation equipment may cause significant fluctuations in revenues and profits from period to period.

The businesses of many of our customers, particularly oilgeneral industrial and gas companies, chemical companiespower and general industrialenergy companies, are to varying degrees cyclical and have experienced, and may continue to experience, periodic downturns. Cyclical changes and specific industry events could also affect sales of products in our other businesses. Downturns in the business cycles of our different operations may occur at the same time, which could exacerbate any adverse effects on our business. See "MD&A — Results of Reportable Segments and Other Operating Segments." In addition, certain of our businesses have seasonal and weather-related fluctuations. Historically, somemany of our key businesses generally tendhave tended to behave stronger performance in the second half of the year.


Cost overruns, inflation, delays and other risks could significantly impact our results, particularly with respect to long-term fixed-price contracts.

        A portion See "MD&A - Results of our revenues and earnings is generated through long-term fixed-price contracts, particularly in our Flow Technology and Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segments. We recognize revenues from certain of these contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting whereby revenues and expenses, and thereby profit, in a given period are determined based on our estimates as to the project status and the costs remaining to complete a particular project.

        Estimates of total revenues and cost at completion are subject to many variables, including the length of time to complete a contract. In addition, contract delays may negatively impact these estimates and our revenues and earnings results for affected periods.

        To the extent that we underestimate the remaining cost to complete a project, we may overstate the revenues and profit in a particular period. Further, certain of these contracts provide for penalties or liquidated damages for failure to timely perform our obligations under the contract, or require that we, at our expense, correct and remedy to the satisfaction of the other party certain defects. Because some of our long-term contracts are at a fixed price, we face the risk that cost overruns or inflation may exceed, erode or eliminate our expected profit margin, or cause us to record a loss on our projects.

        Our large power projects in South Africa are an example of these types of long-term-contract-related risks. These projects, which have already experienced significant delays from their initial target completion dates, involve a complex set of contractual relationships among the end customer, the prime contractors, and the various subcontractors and suppliers. Although we believe that our current estimates of costs relating to these projects are reasonable, we cannot assure you that additional costs will not arise as these projects are completed.

Reportable Segments."

Our business depends on capital investment and maintenance expenditures by our customers.

Demand for most of our products and services depends on the level of new capital investment and planned maintenance expenditures by our customers. The level of capital expenditures by our customers fluctuates based on planned expansions, new builds and repairs, commodity prices, general economic conditions, availability of credit, and expectations of future market behavior. Any of these factors, whether individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our customers and, in turn, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our customers could be impacted by commodity availability and prices.

        A number of factors outside our control, including fluctuating commodity prices, impact the demand for our products. Increased commodity prices may increase our customers' cost of doing business, thus causing them to delay or cancel large capital projects.

        On the other hand, declining commodity prices may cause mines, oil refineries, oil and gas extraction fields and other customers to delay or cancel projects relating to the production of such commodities. For example, recent declines in oil prices have led to reduced revenues in the upstream portion of our oil and gas business. Reduced demand for our products and services could result in the delay or cancellation of existing orders or lead to excess manufacturing capacity, which unfavorably impacts our absorption of fixed manufacturing costs. This reduced demand may also erode average selling prices in the relevant market.

The price and availability of raw materials may adversely affect our business.

We are exposed to a variety of risks relating to the price and availability of raw materials. In recent years, we have faced volatility in the prices of many of our key raw materials, including petroleum-based products,copper, steel and copper.oil. Increases in the prices of raw materials or shortages or allocations of materials may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, as we may not be able to pass cost increases on to our customers, or our sales may be reduced. We are subject to, or may enter into, long-term supplier contracts that may increase our exposure to pricing fluctuations.

Our customers could be impacted by commodity availability and prices.
A number of factors outside our control, including fluctuating commodity prices, impact the demand for our products. Increased commodity prices may increase our customers’ cost of doing business, thus causing them to delay or cancel large capital projects.
On the other hand, declining commodity prices may cause our customers to delay or cancel projects relating to the production of such commodities. For example, declines in oil prices have led to reduced demand for certain of our power generation products. In addition, in regions where the economy is largely dependent on oil and gas, declines in oil and gas prices have impacted the ability of our customers in these regions to finance capital expenditures. As a result, certain of our customers in these regions have delayed or cancelled tenders for our spectrum monitoring and related products. Reduced demand for our products and services could result in the delay or cancellation of existing


orders or lead to excess manufacturing capacity, which unfavorably impacts our absorption of fixed manufacturing costs. Reduced demand may also erode average selling prices in the relevant market.
Credit and counterparty risks could harm our business.

The financial condition of our customers and distributors could affect our ability to market our products or collect receivables.

In addition, financial difficulties faced by our customers may lead to cancellations or delays of orders.

Our customers may suffer financial difficulties that make them unable to pay for a project when completed, or they may decide not or be unable to pay us, either as a matter of corporate decision-making or in response to changes in local laws and


regulations. We cannot assure you that expenses or losses for uncollectible amounts will not have a material adverse effect on our revenues, earnings and cash flows.

We operate in highly competitive markets. Our failure to compete effectively could harm our business.
We sell our products in highly competitive markets, which could result in pressure on our profit margins and limit our ability to maintain or increase the market share of our products. We compete on a number of fronts, including on the basis of product offerings, technical capabilities, quality, service and pricing. We have a number of competitors with substantial technological and financial resources, brand recognition and established relationships with global service providers. Some of our competitors have lower cost structures, support from local governments, or both. In addition, new competitors may enter the markets in which we participate. Competitors may be able to offer lower prices, additional products or services or a more attractive mix of products or services, or services or other incentives that we cannot or will not match. These competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to new or emerging technologies and may be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns and make more attractive offers to potential customers, employees and strategic partners. In addition, competitive environments in slow-growth markets, to which some of our businesses have exposure, have been inherently more influenced by pricing and domestic and global economic conditions. To remain competitive, we need to invest in manufacturing, marketing, customer service and support and our distribution networks. No assurances can be made that we will have sufficient resources to continue to make the investment required to maintain or increase our market share or that our investments will be successful. If we do not compete successfully, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
The fact that we outsource various elements of the products and services we sell subjects us to the business risks of our suppliers and subcontractors, which could have a material adverse impact on our operations.
In areas where we depend on third-party suppliers and subcontractors for outsourced products, components or services, we are subject to the risk of customer dissatisfaction with the quality or performance of the products or services we sell due to supplier or subcontractor failure. In addition, business difficulties facedexperienced by a third-party supplier or subcontractor can lead to the interruption of our ability to obtain outsourced products or services and ultimately our inability to supply products or services to our customers. Third-party supplier and subcontractor business interruptions can include, but are not limited to, work stoppages, union negotiations and other labor disputes. Current economic conditions could also impact the ability of suppliers and subcontractors to access credit and, thus, impair their ability to provide us quality products or services in a timely manner, or at all.
Cost overruns, inflation, delays and other risks could significantly impact our results, particularly with respect to long-term fixed-price contracts.
A portion of our revenues and earnings is generated through long-term fixed-price contracts, particularly for the process cooling systems and heat exchangers sold by our Engineered Solutions segment. We recognize revenues for certain of these contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting whereby revenues and expenses, and thereby profit, in a given period are determined based on our estimates as to the project status and the costs remaining to complete a particular project.
Estimates of total revenues and cost at completion are subject to many variables, including the length of time to complete a contract. In addition, contract delays may negatively impact these estimates and our revenues and earnings results for affected periods.
To the extent that we underestimate the remaining cost to complete a project, we may overstate the revenues and profit in a particular period. Further, certain of these contracts provide for penalties or liquidated damages for failure to timely perform our obligations under the contract, or require that we, at our expense, correct and remedy to


the satisfaction of the other party certain defects. Because some of our long-term contracts are at a fixed price, we face the risk that cost overruns or inflation may exceed, erode or eliminate our expected profit margin, or cause us to record a loss on our projects.
Our large power projects in South Africa are an example of these types of long-term-contract-related risks. These projects, which have experienced significant delays from their initial target completion dates, involve a complex set of contractual relationships among the end customer, the prime contractors, and the various subcontractors and suppliers. Although we believe that our current estimates of costs relating to these projects are reasonable, we cannot assure you that additional costs will not arise as these projects are completed.
Worldwide economic conditions could negatively impact our businesses.
Many of our customers may leadhistorically have tended to delay large capital projects, including expensive maintenance and upgrades, during economic downturns. Poor macroeconomic conditions could negatively impact our businesses by adversely affecting, among other things, our:
Revenues;
Margins;
Profits;
Cash flows;
Customers’ orders, including order cancellation activity or delaydelays on existing orders;
Customers’ ability to access credit;
Customers’ ability to pay amounts due to us; and
Suppliers’ and distributors’ ability to perform and the availability and costs of orders.

materials and subcontracted services.

Downturns in global economies could negatively impact our performance or any expectations in reporting performance. For example, economic downturns relating to lower oil and gas prices have impacted the ability of customers in countries with oil and gas dependent economies to finance certain capital projects. This, in turn, has reduced demand for certain of our spectrum monitoring and related products in these regions.
Failure to protect or unauthorized use of our intellectual property may harm our business.

Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties or competitors may copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. The steps we have taken may not prevent unauthorized use of our technology or knowledge, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as in the United States. Costs incurred to defend our rights may be material.

If we are unable to protect our information systems against data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network security breaches, our operations could be disrupted.

We are increasingly dependent on cloud-based and other information technology ("IT"(“IT”) networks and systems, including the Internet,some of which are managed by third parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information. In particular, weWe depend on such IT infrastructure for electronic communications among our locations around the world and between our personnel and suppliers and customers, andcustomers. In addition, we rely on thethese IT systems to record, process, summarize, transmit, and services ofstore electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities, including, among other things, our accounting and financial reporting processes; our manufacturing and supply chain processes; our sales and marketing efforts; and the data related to our research and development efforts. The failure of our IT systems or those of our business partners or third-party service providers to perform properly, or difficulties encountered in the development of new systems or the upgrade of existing systems, could disrupt our business and harm our reputation, which may result in decreased sales, increased overhead costs, excess or obsolete inventory, and product shortages, causing our business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results to suffer. Upon expiration or termination of any of our agreements with third-party vendors, we may not be able to meet our data processingreplace the services provided to us in a timely manner or on terms and communication needs. conditions, including service levels and cost, that are favorable to us, and a transition from one vendor to another vendor could subject us to operational delays and inefficiencies until the transition is complete.
Despite our implementation of security measures, cybersecurity threats, such as malicious software, phishing attacks, computer viruses and attempts to gain authorizedunauthorized access, cannot be completely mitigated. Security breaches of our, our customers'customers’ and our vendors'vendors’ IT infrastructure can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, including our intellectual property, trade secrets, customer information or other


confidential business information. Likewise, data privacy breaches by employees and others with both permitted and unauthorized access to our systems may pose a risk that sensitive data may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public, or may be permanently lost. Accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access by third parties of our facilities, our information systems or the systems of our cloud-based or other service providers, or the existence of computer viruses or malware in our or their data or software, could expose us to a risk of information loss and misappropriation of proprietary and confidential information, including information relating to our customers and the personal information of our employees. If we or our third-party service providers fail to keep customers’ proprietary information and documentation confidential, we may lose existing customers and potential new customers and may expose them to significant loss of revenue based on the premature release of confidential information.
Information technology security threats are unableincreasing in frequency and sophistication. Cyber-attacks may be random, coordinated, or targeted, including sophisticated computer crime threats. These threats pose a risk to prevent, detectthe security of our systems and networks, and those of our business partners and third-party service providers, and to the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of our data. Our business, reputation, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if, as a result of a significant cyber event or adequately respond to such breaches,otherwise, our operations could beare disrupted or shutdown; our competitiveness could be adversely affectedconfidential, proprietary information is stolen or disclosed; the performance or security of our cloud-based product offerings is impacted; our intranet and internet sites are compromised; data is manipulated or destroyed; we incur costs or are required to pay fines in connection with stolen customer, employee, or other confidential information; we must dedicate significant resources to system repairs or increase cyber security protection; or we may suffer financial damageotherwise incur significant litigation or loss because of lost or misappropriated information. Such incidents also could require significant management attention and resources and increasedother costs.

Currency conversion risk could have a material impact on our reported results of business operations.

Our operating results are translated intopresented in U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies in which we conduct business could result in unfavorable translation effects as the results of transactions in foreign countries are translated into U.S. dollars.
Increased strength of the U.S. dollar will increase the effective price of our products sold in U.S. dollars into other countries, including countries utilizing the Euro, which may have a material adverse effect on sales or require us to lower our prices, and also decrease our reported revenues or margins related to sales conducted in foreign currencies to the extent we are unable or determine not to increase local currency prices. Likewise, decreased strength of the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on the cost of materials and products purchased overseas.

Worldwide economic conditions

Similarly, increased or decreased strength of the currencies of non-U.S. countries in which we manufacture will have a comparable effect against the currencies of other jurisdictions in which we sell. For example, our Radiodetection business manufactures a number of detection instruments in the United Kingdom and sells to customers in other countries, therefore increased strength of the British pound sterling will increase the effective price of these products sold in British pound sterling into other countries; and decreased strength of British pound sterling could negatively impact our businesses.

        Many of our customers historically have tended to delay large capital projects, including expensive maintenance and upgrades, during economic downturns. Poor macroeconomic conditions could negatively impact our businesses by adversely affecting, among other things, our:

products purchased outside of the United Kingdom.

We are subject to laws, regulations and potential liability relating to claims, complaints and proceedings, including those relating to environmental, product liability and other matters.

We are subject to various laws, ordinances, regulations and other requirements of government authorities in the United States and other nations. With respect to acquisitions, divestitures and continuing operations, we may acquire or retain liabilities of which we are not aware, or which are of a different character or magnitude than expected. Additionally, changes in laws, ordinances, regulations or other governmental policies may significantly increase our expenses and liabilities.

We face environmental exposures including, for example, those relating to discharges from and materials handled as part of our operations, the remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated by petroleum products or hazardous substances or wastes, and the health and safety of our employees. We may be liable for the costs of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous substances or petroleum products on, under, or in our current or formerly owned or leased properties, or from third-party disposal facilities that we may have used, without regard to whether we knew of, or caused, the presence of the contaminants. The presence of, or failure to properly remediate, these substances may have adverse effects, including, for example, substantial investigative or remedial obligations and limitations on the ability to sell or rent affected property or to borrow funds using affected property as collateral. New or existing environmental matters or changes in environmental laws or policies could lead to material costs for environmental compliance or cleanup. In addition, environmentally related product regulations are growing globally in number and complexity and could contribute to increased costs with respect to disclosure requirements, product sales and


distribution related costs, and post-sale recycling and disposal costs. There can be no assurance that these liabilities and costs will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Numerous claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business including those relatinghave been asserted or are pending against us or certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, “claims”). These claims relate to litigation matters (e.g., class actions, derivative lawsuits and contracts, intellectual property, and competitive claims), environmental matters, product liability matters (predominately associated with alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials), and other risk management matters (e.g., product and general liability, automobile, and workers'workers’ compensation claims),. Periodically, claims, complaints and proceedings arising other than in the ordinary course of business have been filedasserted or are pending against us andor certain of our subsidiaries.subsidiaries (e.g. patent infringement and disputes with subsidiary shareholder(s)). From time to time, we face actions by governmental authorities, both in and outside the United States. Additionally, we may become subject to significantother claims of which we are currently unaware, which may be significant, or the claims of which we are aware may result in our incurring a significantly greater liabilityloss than we anticipate. Our insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., because of insurer insolvency) to protect us against potential loss exposures.

We devote significant time and expense to defend against the various claims, complaints and proceedings brought against us, and we cannot assure you that the expenses or distractions from operating our businesses arising from these defenses will not increase materially.

We cannot assure you that our accruals and right to indemnity and insurance will be sufficient, that recoveries from insurance or indemnification claims will be available or that any of our current or future claims or other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

See "MD“MD&A —- Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates —- Contingent Liabilities"Liabilities” and Note 1413 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Governmental laws and regulations could negatively affect our business.

Changes in laws and regulations to which we are or may become subject could have a significant negative impact on our business. In addition, we could face material costs and risks if it is determined that we have failed to comply with relevant law and regulation. FailureWe are subject to comply with U.S. or non-U.S.Customs and Export Regulations, including U.S. International Traffic and Arms Regulations and similar laws, regulating trade, such aswhich collectively control import, export and sale of technologies by companies and various other aspects of the U.S.operation of our business; the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruptionsimilar anti-bribery laws, could resultwhich prohibit companies from making improper payments to government officials for the purposes of obtaining or retaining business; and the California Transparency in adverse consequences, including fines, criminal sanctions, or loss of accessSupply Chain Act and similar laws and regulations, which relate to markets.

        In addition, costs associatedhuman trafficking and anti-slavery and impose new compliance requirements on our businesses and their suppliers. While our policies and procedures mandate compliance with regulatory compliancesuch laws and regulations, there can be difficult to predict. If we underestimate the time or costs requiredno assurance that our employees and agents will always act in strict compliance. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations may result in civil and criminal enforcement, including monetary fines and possible injunctions against shipment of product or other of our legal and regulatory obligations, our actual costs may significantly exceed our projections,activities, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

operations and financial condition.

Additionally, laws and regulations have increasingly focused on supply chain transparency. As part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the SEC has promulgated disclosure requirements regarding the use of certain minerals (tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold), which are mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries, known as conflict minerals. Certain of our products contain gold, tungsten and tin. As a result, we must annually publicly disclose whether we manufacture any products that contain conflict minerals. Additionally, customers typically rely on us to provide critical data regarding the parts they purchase, including conflict mineral information. Our material sourcing is broad-based and multi-tiered, and it is difficult to verify the origins for conflict minerals used in the products we sell. We have many suppliers and each may provide conflict mineral information in a different manner, if at all. Accordingly, because the supply chain is complex, we may face reputational challenges from being unable to sufficiently verify the origins of conflict minerals used in our products.
Changes in tax laws and regulations or other factors could cause our effective income tax rate to increase, potentially reducing our net income and adversely affecting our cash flows.

        As a global manufacturing company, we

We are subject to taxation in various jurisdictions around the world. In preparing our financial statements, we calculate our effective income tax rate based on current tax laws and regulations and the estimated taxable income within each of these jurisdictions. Our effective income tax rate, however, may be higher due to numerous factors,


including changes in tax laws or regulations. An effective income tax rate significantly higher than our expectations could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and liquidity.


Officials in some of the jurisdictions in which we do business have proposed, or announced that they are reviewing, tax changes that could potentially increase taxes, and other revenue-raising laws and regulations, including those that may be enacted as a result of the OECD Base Erosion and Profit SplittingShifting project. Additionally, comprehensive U.S. tax reform has been publically stated to be a priority for the U.S. Congress. Changes in U.S. tax laws, if adopted, or changes in tax law interpretation could, depending on the nature of the changes, adversely affect our effective tax rates and our results. Any such changes in tax laws or regulations could impose new restrictions, costs or prohibitions on existing practices as well as reduce our net income and adversely affect our cash flows.

The loss of key personnel and an inability to attract and retain qualified employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

We are dependent on the continued services of our leadership team. The loss of these personnel without adequate replacement could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Additionally, we need qualified managers and skilled employees with technical and manufacturing industry experience in many locations in order to operate our business successfully. From time to time, there may be a shortage of skilled labor, which may make it more difficult and expensive for us to attract and retain qualified employees. If we were unable to attract and retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals or our costs to do so were to increase significantly, our operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our indebtedness may affect our business and may restrict our operating flexibility.

At December 31, 2014,2016, we had $1,369.7$356.2 in total indebtedness. On that same date, we had $313.2$313.9 of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities, after giving effect to borrowings under the domestic revolving loan facility of $133.0 and $53.8$36.1 reserved for outstanding letters of credit, and $70.0$39.9 of available borrowing capacity under our trade receivables financing arrangement after giving effect to outstanding borrowings of $10.0.arrangement. In addition, at December 31, 2014,2016, we had $304.7$98.6 of available issuance capacity under our foreign credit instrument facilities after giving effect to $695.3$201.4 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. At December 31, 2014,2016, our cash and equivalents balance was $427.6.$99.6. See MD&A and Note 1211 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future, including indebtedness incurred to finance, or assumed in connection with, acquisitions. We may renegotiate or refinance our senior credit facilities senior notes or other debt facilities, or enter into additional agreements that have different or more stringent terms. The level of our indebtedness could:

Impact our ability and the ability of the new stand-alone company that will result from the planned spin-off to obtain new, or refinance existing, indebtedness, as needed in connection with the spin-off, on favorable terms or at all;

•
Limit our ability to obtain, or obtain on favorable terms, additional debt financing for working capital, capital expenditures or acquisitions;

•
Limit our flexibility in reacting to competitive and other changes in the industry and economic conditions;

•
Limit our ability to pay dividends on our common stock;

•
stock in the future;
Coupled with a substantial decrease in net operating cash flows due to economic developments or adverse developments in our business, make it difficult to meet debt service requirements; and

•
Expose us to interest rate fluctuations to the extent existing borrowings are, and any new borrowings may be, at variable rates of interest, which could result in higher interest expense and interest payments in the event of increases in interest rates.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal or pay interest on, or to refinance, our indebtedness and to satisfy our other debt obligations will depend upon our future operating performance, which may be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, business and other factors beyond our control. In addition, we cannot assure you that future borrowings or equity financing will be available for the payment or refinancing of our indebtedness. If we are unable to service our indebtedness, whether in the ordinary course of business or upon an acceleration of such indebtedness, we may pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital expenditures, revising implementation of or delaying strategic plans or seeking additional equity capital. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price. In addition, we cannot assure that we would be able to take any of these actions, that these actions would enable us to continue to satisfy our capital requirements, or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our various debt agreements.

Numerous banks in many countries are syndicate members in our credit facility. Failure of one or more of our larger lenders, or several of our smaller lenders, could significantly reduce availability of our credit, which could harm our liquidity.



We may not be able to finance future needs or adapt our business plan to react to changes in economic or business conditions because of restrictions placed on us by our senior credit facilities and any existing or future instruments governing our other indebtedness.

Our senior credit facilities the indenture governing our senior notes and agreements governing our other indebtedness contain, or future or revised instruments may contain, various restrictions and covenants that limit our ability to make distributions or other payments to our investors and creditors unless certain financial tests or other criteria are satisfied. We also must comply with certain specified financial ratios and tests. Our subsidiaries may also be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us. In addition, our senior credit facilities indenture governing our senior notes and agreements governing our other indebtedness contain or may contain additional affirmative and negative covenants. Material existing restrictions are described more fully in the MD&A and Note 1211 to our consolidated financial statements. Each of these restrictions could affect our ability to operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities, such as acquisitions.

If we do not comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our senior credit facilities indenture governing our senior notes and agreements governing our other indebtedness, we could default under those agreements, and the debt, together with accrued interest, could be declared due and payable. If we default under our senior credit facilities, the lenders could cause all our outstanding debt obligations under our senior credit facilities to become due and payable or require us to repay the indebtedness under these facilities. If our debt is accelerated, we may not be able to repay or refinance our debt. In addition, any default under our senior credit facilities indenture governing our senior notes or agreements governing our other indebtedness could lead to an acceleration of debt under other debt instruments that contain cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions. If the indebtedness under our senior credit facilities is accelerated, we may not have sufficient assets to repay amounts due under our senior credit facilities senior notes or other debt securities then outstanding. Our ability to comply with these provisions of our senior credit facilities indenture governing our senior notes and agreements governing our other indebtedness will be affected by changes in the economic or business conditions or other events beyond our control. Complying with our covenants may also cause us to take actions that are not favorable to us and may make it more difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy and compete, including against companies that are not subject to such restrictions.

We operate in highly competitive markets. Our failure to compete effectively could harm our business.

        We sell our products in highly competitive markets, which could result in pressure on our profit margins and limit our ability to maintain or increase the market share of our products. We compete on a number of fronts, including on the basis of product offerings, technical capabilities, quality, service and pricing. We have a number of competitors with substantial technological and financial resources, brand recognition and established relationships with global service providers. Some of our competitors have low cost structures, support from local governments, or both. In addition, new competitors may enter the markets in which we participate. Competitors may be able to offer lower prices, additional products or services or a more attractive mix of products or services, or services or other incentives that we cannot or will not match. These competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to new or emerging technologies and may be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, and make more attractive offers to potential customers, employees and strategic partners. In addition, competitive environments in slow-growth markets, to which some of our businesses have exposure, have been inherently more influenced by pricing and domestic and global economic conditions. To remain competitive, we must invest in manufacturing, marketing, customer service and support and our distribution networks. No assurances can be made that we will have sufficient resources to continue to make the investment required to maintain or increase our market share or that our investments will be successful. If we do not compete successfully, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Our strategy to outsource various elements of the products and services we sell subjects us to the business risks of our suppliers and subcontractors, which could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

        In areas where we depend on third-party suppliers and subcontractors for outsourced products, components or services, we are subject to the risk of customer dissatisfaction with the quality or performance of the products or services we sell due to supplier or subcontractor failure. In addition, business difficulties experienced by a third-party supplier or subcontractor can lead to the interruption of our ability to obtain outsourced products or services and ultimately our inability to supply products or services to our customers. Third-party supplier and subcontractor business interruptions can include, but are not limited to, work stoppages, union negotiations and other labor disputes. Current economic conditions could also impact the ability of suppliers and subcontractors to access credit and, thus, impair their ability to provide us quality products or services in a timely manner, or at all.


We may not achieve the expected cost savings and other benefits of our acquisitions.

        We strive for and expect to achieve cost savings in connection with our acquisitions, including: (i) manufacturing process and supply chain rationalization, (ii) streamlining redundant administrative overhead and support activities, and (iii) restructuring and repositioning sales and marketing organizations to eliminate redundancies. Cost savings expectations are estimates that are inherently difficult to predict and are necessarily speculative in nature, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve expected, or any, cost savings. In addition, we cannot assure you that unforeseen factors will not offset the estimated cost savings or other benefits from our acquisitions. As a result, anticipated benefits could be delayed, differ significantly from our estimates and the other information contained in this report, or not be realized.

Our failure to successfully complete acquisitions could negatively affect us.

We may not be able to consummate desired acquisitions, which could materially impact our growth rate, results of operations, future cash flows and stock price. Our ability to achieve our goals depends upon, among other things, our ability to identify and successfully acquire companies, businesses and product lines, to effectively integrate them and to achieve cost savings. We may also be unable to raise additional funds necessary to consummate these acquisitions. In addition, decreases in our stock price may adversely affect our ability to consummate acquisitions. Competition for acquisitions in our business areas may be significant and result in higher prices for businesses, including businesses that we may target, which may also affect our acquisition rate or benefits achieved from our acquisitions.

We may not achieve the expected cost savings and other benefits of our acquisitions.

As a result, anticipated benefits could be delayed, differ significantly from our estimates and the other information contained in this report, or not be realized.
Our failure to successfully integrate acquisitions could have a negative effect on our operations; our acquisitions could cause financial difficulties.

Our acquisitions involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including:

Adverse effects on our reported operating results due to charges to earnings, including impairment charges associated with goodwill and other intangibles;

•
Diversion of management attention from core business operations;

•
Integration of technology, operations, personnel and financial and other systems;

•
Increased expenses;

•
Increased foreign operations, often with unique issues relating to corporate culture, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and other challenges;


•
Assumption of known and unknown liabilities and exposure to litigation;

•
Increased levels of debt or dilution to existing shareholders;stockholders; and

•
Potential disputes with the sellers of acquired businesses, technology, services or products.

In addition, internal controls over financial reporting of acquired companies may not be compliant with required standards. Issues may exist that could rise to the level of significant deficiencies or, in some cases, material weaknesses, particularly with respect to foreign companies or non-public U.S. companies.

Our integration activities may place substantial demands on our management, operational resources and financial and internal control systems. Customer dissatisfaction or performance problems with an acquired business, technology, service or product could also have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business.

Dispositions or our failure to successfully completeliabilities retained in connection with dispositions could negatively affect us.

Our dispositions involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including diversion of management attention from running our core businesses, increased expense associated with the dispositions, potential disputes with the customers or suppliers of the disposed businesses, potential disputes with the acquirers of the disposed businesses and a potential dilutive effect on our earnings per share.

In addition, we have agreed to retain certain liabilities in connection with the disposition of certain businesses, including the Balcke Dürr business. These liabilities may be significant and could negatively impact our business.

If dispositions are not completed in a timely manner, there may be a negative effect on our cash flows and/or our ability to execute our strategy. In addition, we may not realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of our dispositions. See "Business," "MD“Business,” “MD&A —- Results of Discontinued Operations,"” and Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for the status of our divestitures.

Difficulties presented by economic, political, legal, accounting and business factors could negatively affect our business.
In 2016, approximately 84% of our revenues were generated inside the United States. Our reliance on U.S. revenues and U.S. manufacturing bases exposes us to a number of risks, including:
Government embargoes or foreign trade restrictions such as anti-dumping duties, as well as the imposition of trade sanctions by the United States against a class of products imported from or sold and exported to, or the loss of “normal trade relations” status with, countries in which we conduct business, could significantly increase our cost of products imported into or exported from the United States or reduce our sales and harm our business;
Customs and tariffs may make it difficult or impossible for us to move our products or assets across borders in a cost-effective manner;
Transportation and shipping expenses add cost to our products;
Complications related to shipping, including delays due to weather, labor action, or customs, may impact our profit margins or lead to lost business;
Environmental and other laws and regulations could increase our costs or limit our ability to run our business; and
Our ability to obtain supplies from foreign vendors and ship products internationally may be impaired during times of crisis or otherwise.
Any of the above factors or other factors affecting the movement of people and products into and from various countries to North America could have a significant negative effect on our operations. In addition, our concentration on U.S. business may make it difficult to enter new markets, making it more difficult for our businesses to grow.
Our non-U.S. revenues and operations expose us to numerous risks that may negatively impact our business.
To the extent we generate revenues outside of the United States, non-U.S. revenues and non-U.S. manufacturing bases exposes us to a number of risks, including:
Significant competition could come from local or long-term participants in non-U.S. markets who may have significantly greater market knowledge and substantially greater resources than we do;


Failure to comply with U.S. or non-U.S. laws regulating trade, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and other anti-corruption laws, could result in adverse consequences, including fines, criminal sanctions, or loss of access to markets;
Local customers may have a preference for locally-produced products;
Credit risk or financial condition of local customers and distributors could affect our ability to market our products or collect receivables;
Regulatory or political systems or barriers may make it difficult or impossible to enter or remain in new markets. In addition, these barriers may impact our existing businesses, including making it more difficult for them to grow;
Local political, economic and social conditions, including the possibility of hyperinflationary conditions, political instability, nationalization of private enterprises, or unexpected changes relating to currency could adversely impact our revenues and operations;
The United Kingdom’s decision to exit from the European Union (commonly referred to as “Brexit”) has contributed to, and may continue to contribute to, European economic, market and regulatory uncertainty and could adversely affect European or worldwide economic, market, regulatory, or political conditions;
Customs and tariffs may make it difficult or impossible for us to move our products or assets across borders in a cost-effective manner;
Transportation and shipping expenses add cost to our products;
Complications related to shipping, including delays due to weather, labor action, or customs, may impact our profit margins or lead to lost business;
Local, regional or worldwide hostilities could impact our operations; and
Distance and language and cultural differences may make it more difficult to manage our business and employees and to effectively market our products and services.
Any of the above factors or other factors affecting social and economic activity in the United Kingdom, China, and South Africa or affecting the movement of people and products into and from these countries to our major markets, could have a significant negative effect on our operations.
Increases in the number of shares of our outstanding common stock could adversely affect our common stock price or dilute our earnings per share.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock into the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could have a material adverse effect on our stock price. As of December 31, 2014,2016, we had the ability to issue up to an additional 2.32.097 shares as restricted stock shares, restricted stock units, performance stock units, or stock options under our 2002 Stock Compensation Plan, as amended in 2006, 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2012,2017, and our 2006 Non-Employee Directors'Directors’ Stock Incentive Plan. Additionally, weWe also may issue a significant number of additional shares, in connection with acquisitions, or otherwise. We also may issuethrough a significant number of additional shares, either through an existing shelf registration statement, or through other mechanisms.otherwise. Additional shares issued would have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share.

If the fair value of any of our reporting units is insufficient to recover the carrying value of the goodwill and other intangibles of the respective reporting unit, a material non-cash charge to earnings could result.

At December 31, 2014,2016, we had goodwill and other intangible assets, net, of $2,286.4.$458.3. We conduct annual impairment testing to determine if we will be able to recover all or a portion of the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. In addition, we review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment more frequently if impairment indicators arise. If the fair value is insufficient to recover the carrying value of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, we may be required to record a material non-cash charge to earnings.

The fair values of our reporting units generally are based on discounted cash flow projections that are believed to be reasonable under current and forecasted circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of the reported net assets of our reporting units. Other considerations are also incorporated, including comparable price multiples. Many of our businesses closely follow changes in the industries and end markets that they serve. Accordingly, we consider estimates and judgments that affect the future cash flow projections, including principal methods of competition such as volume, price, service, product performance and technical innovations and estimates associated with cost reduction initiatives, capacity utilization, and assumptions for inflation and foreign currency changes. We monitor impairment indicators across all of our businesses. Significant changes in market conditions and estimates or judgments used to determine expected future cash flows that indicate a reduction in carrying value may give, and have given, rise to impairments in the period that the change becomes known.

We are subject to work stoppages, union negotiations, labor disputes and other matters associated with our labor force, which may adversely impact our operations and cause us to incur incremental costs.

        At December 31, 2014, we had over 14,000 employees. Seven domestic collective bargaining agreements covered approximately 1,000 employees. We also had various collective labor arrangements as of that date covering certain non-U.S. employee groups. We are subject to potential union campaigns, work stoppages, union negotiations and other potential labor disputes. Further, we may be subject to work stoppages, which are beyond our control, at our suppliers or customers.

Our technology is important to our success, and failure to develop new products may result in a significant competitive disadvantage.

        We believe the development of our intellectual property rights is critical to the success of our business. In order to maintain our market positions and margins, we need to continually develop and introduce high quality, technologically advanced and cost-effective products on a timely basis, in many cases in multiple jurisdictions around the world. The failure to do so could result in a significant competitive disadvantage.



Cost reduction actions may affect our business.

Cost reduction actions often result in charges against earnings. These charges can vary significantly from period to period and, as a result, we may experience fluctuations in our reported net income and earnings per share due to the timing of restructuring actions.

Our technology is important to our success, and failure to develop new products may result in a significant competitive disadvantage.
We believe the development of our intellectual property rights is critical to the success of our business. In order to maintain our market positions and margins, we need to continually develop and introduce high-quality, technologically advanced and cost-effective products on a timely basis, in many cases in multiple jurisdictions around the world. The failure to do so could result in a significant competitive disadvantage.
Our current and planned products may contain defects or errors that are detected only after delivery to customers. If that occurs, our reputation may be harmed and we may face additional costs.

We cannot assure you that our product development, manufacturing and integration testing will be adequate to detect all defects, errors, failures and quality issues that could impact customer satisfaction or result in claims against us with regard to our products. As a result, we may have, and from time to time have had, to replace certain components and/or provide


remediation in response to the discovery of defects in products that are shipped. The occurrence of any defects, errors, failures or quality issues could result in cancellation of orders, product returns, diversion of our resources, legal actions by our customers or our customers'customers’ end users and other losses to us or to any of our customers or end users, and could also result in the loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products and loss of sales, which would harm our business and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

Changes in key estimates and assumptions related to our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans, such as discount rates, assumed long-term return on assets, assumed long-term trends of future cost, and accounting and legislative changes, as well as actual investment returns on our pension plan assets and other actuarial factors, could affect our results of operations and cash flows.

We have defined benefit pension and postretirement plans, including both qualified and non-qualified plans, which cover a portion of our salaried and hourly employees and retirees, including a portion of our employees and retirees in foreign countries. As of December 31, 2014,2016, our net liability to these plans were underfunded by $332.7.was $195.8. The determination of funding requirements and pension expense or income associated with these plans involves significant judgment, particularly with respect to discount rates, long-term trends of future costs and other actuarial assumptions. If our assumptions change significantly due to changes in economic, legislative and/or demographic experience or circumstances, our pension and other benefit plans'plans’ expense, funded status and our required cash contributions to such plans could be negatively impacted. In addition, returns on plan assets could have a material impact on our pension plans'plans’ expense, funded status and our required contributions to the plans. Changes in regulations or law could also significantly impact our obligations. For example, See "MDsee “MD&A —- Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates"Estimates” for the impact that changes in certain assumptions used in the calculation of our costs and obligations associated with these plans could have on our results of operations and financial position.

We are subject to work stoppages, union negotiations, labor disputes and other matters associated with our labor force, which may adversely impact our operations and cause us to incur incremental costs.
At December 31, 2016, we had over 5,000 employees. Six domestic collective bargaining agreements covered approximately 1,050 employees. We also had various collective labor arrangements as of that date covering certain non-U.S. employee groups. We are subject to potential union campaigns, work stoppages, union negotiations and other potential labor disputes. Further, we may be subject to work stoppages, which are beyond our control, at our suppliers or customers.
Provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law may delay or prevent a change in control of our company, and accordingly, we may not consummate a transaction that our shareholdersstockholders consider favorable.

Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws may inhibit changes in control of our company not approved by our Board. These provisions include, for example: a staggered board of directors; a prohibition on shareholderstockholder action by written consent; a requirement that special shareholderstockholder meetings be called only by our Chairman, President or Board; advance notice requirements for shareholderstockholder proposals and nominations; limitations on shareholders'


stockholders’ ability to amend, alter or repeal the By-laws; enhanced voting requirements for certain business combinations involving substantial shareholders;stockholders; the authority of our Board to issue, without shareholderstockholder approval, preferred stock with terms determined in its discretion; and limitations on shareholders'stockholders’ ability to remove directors. In addition, we are afforded the protections of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which could have similar effects. In general, Section 203 prohibits us from engaging in a "business combination"“business combination” with an "interested shareholder"“interested stockholder” (each as defined in Section 203) for at least three years after the time the person became an interested shareholderstockholder unless certain conditions are met. These protective provisions could result in our not consummating a transaction that our shareholdersstockholders consider favorable or discourage entities from attempting to acquire us, potentially at a significant premium to our then-existing stock price.

Risks Related to our Spin-Off of SPX FLOW
The Spin-Off of SPX FLOW could result in substantial tax liability to us and our stockholders.
In connection with the Spin-Off of SPX FLOW we received opinions of tax counsel satisfactory to us as to the tax-free treatment of the Spin-Off and certain related transactions. However, if the factual assumptions or representations upon which the opinions are based are inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, we will not be able to rely on the opinions. Furthermore, the opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts. Accordingly, the IRS may challenge the conclusions set forth in the opinions and any such challenge could prevail. If, notwithstanding the opinions, the Spin-Off or a related transaction is determined to be taxable, we could be subject to a substantial tax liability. In addition, if the Spin-Off is determined to be taxable, each holder of our common stock who received shares of SPX FLOW would generally be treated as having received a taxable distribution of property in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received.
Even if the Spin-Off otherwise qualifies as a tax-free transaction, the distribution could be taxable to us (but not to our stockholders) in certain circumstances if future significant acquisitions of our stock or the stock of SPX FLOW are determined to be part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the Spin-Off. In this event, the resulting tax liability would be substantial. In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a Tax Matters Agreement with SPX FLOW, under which SPX FLOW agreed (i) not to enter into any transaction without our consent that could cause the Spin-Off to be taxable to us, and (ii) to indemnify us for any tax liabilities resulting from such a transaction. The indemnity from SPX FLOW may not be sufficient to protect us against the full amount of such liabilities. Any tax liabilities resulting from the Spin-Off or related transactions could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Spin-Off may expose us to potential liabilities arising out of state and federal fraudulent conveyance laws and legal dividend requirements.
The Spin-Off is subject to review under various state and federal fraudulent conveyance laws. Fraudulent conveyance laws generally provide that an entity engages in a constructive fraudulent conveyance when (1) the entity transfers assets and does not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value in return, and (2) the entity (a) is insolvent at the time of the transfer or is rendered insolvent by the transfer, (b) has unreasonably small capital with which to carry on its business, or (c) intends to incur or believes it will incur debts beyond its ability to repay its debts as they mature. An unpaid creditor or an entity acting on behalf of a creditor (including, without limitation, a trustee or debtor-in-possession in a bankruptcy by us or SPX FLOW or any of our respective subsidiaries) may bring a lawsuit alleging that the Spin-Off or any of the related transactions constituted a constructive fraudulent conveyance. If a court accepts these allegations, it could impose a number of remedies, including, without limitation, voiding the distribution and returning SPX FLOW’s assets or SPX FLOW’s shares and subject us to liability.
The measure of insolvency for purposes of the fraudulent conveyance laws will vary depending on which jurisdiction’s law is applied. Generally, an entity would be considered insolvent if (1) the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities); (2) the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than its probable liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured; (3) it cannot pay its debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) as they mature; or (4) it has unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged. We cannot assure you what standard a court would apply to determine insolvency or that a court would determine that we, SPX FLOW or any of our respective subsidiaries were solvent at the time of or after giving effect to the Spin-Off.
The distribution of SPX FLOW common stock is also subject to review under state corporate distribution statutes. Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), a corporation may only pay dividends to


its stockholders either (1) out of its surplus (net assets) or (2) if there is no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.
Although we believe that we and SPX FLOW were each solvent at the time of the Spin-Off (including immediately after the distribution of shares of SPX FLOW common stock), that we are able to repay our debts as they mature and have sufficient capital to carry on our businesses, and that the distribution was made entirely out of surplus in accordance with Section 170 of the DGCL, we cannot assure you that a court would reach the same conclusions in determining whether SPX FLOW or we were insolvent at the time of, or after giving effect to, the Spin-Off, or whether lawful funds were available for the separation and the distribution to our stockholders.

Executive Overview
Spin-Off of SPX FLOW
On September 26, 2015, we completed the Spin-Off of SPX FLOW. The results of SPX FLOW are reflected as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. See Notes 1 and 4 to our consolidated financial statements for informationadditional details on discontinued operations).

Executive Overview

the Spin-Off.

Shift Away from the Power Generation Markets
In 2014,recent years, our businesses serving the power generation markets have experienced significant declines in revenue and profitability associated with weak demand and increased competition within the global power generation markets. Based on a review of our post-spin portfolio and the belief that recovery within the power generation markets was unlikely for the foreseeable future, we continued to execute our commitments to improving operational performance, returning capital to shareholders and narrowingdecided that our strategic focus aroundwould be on our Flow(i) scalable growth businesses that serve the HVAC and detection and measurement markets and (ii) power transformer and process cooling systems businesses. As a result, we have been reducing our exposure to the power generation markets as indicated by the disposals summarized below:
Dry Cooling Business:
On November 20, 2015, we entered into an agreement for the sale of our dry cooling business, a business that provides dry cooling products to the global power generation markets, to Paharpur Cooling Towers Limited (“Paharpur”).
On March 30, 2016, we completed the sale for cash proceeds of $47.6 (net of cash transferred with the business of $3.0).
In connection with the sale, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $18.4.
The gain includes a reclassification from “Equity” of other comprehensive income of $40.4 related to foreign currency translation.
Balcke Dürr:
On November 22, 2016, we entered into an agreement for the sale of Balcke Dürr, a business that provides heat exchangers and other related components primarily to the European and Asian power generation markets, to a subsidiary of mutares AG (the “Buyer”).
On December 30, 2016, we completed the sale for cash proceeds of less than $0.1.
We left $21.1 of cash in Balcke Dürr at the time of sale and provided the Buyer a non-interest bearing loan of $9.1, payable in installments at the end markets.

        Summarized below isof 2018 and 2019.

The related agreement provides that existing parent company guarantees of approximately €79.0 and bank and surety bonds of approximately €79.0 will remain in place through each instrument’s expiration date, with such expiration dates ranging from 2017 to 2022.
Balcke Dürr, the progress we madeBuyer, and the Buyer’s parent company have provided certain indemnifications in eachthe event that any of these areas during 2014.

guarantees or bonds are called. See Notes 2, 4 and 15 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details on the guarantees, bonds, and related indemnifications.

The results of Balcke Dürr are presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. See Notes 1 and 4 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.


In connection with the sale, we recorded a net loss of $78.6 to “Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax” within our consolidated statement of operations for 2016.
The net loss includes a charge of $5.1 associated with the estimated fair value of the parent company guarantees and the bank and surety bonds, after consideration of the indemnifications provided in the event any of these guarantees or bonds are called.
Change to the Name of Our Power Reportable Segment
In recognition of these dispositions and the resulting shift away from the power generation markets, we changed the name of our Power reportable segment to “Engineered Solutions,” effective in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Summary of Operating Results
Revenues for 2014 were 1.1% lower than 2013, with2016 decreased $86.7 (or 5.6%), compared to 2015, primarily as a result of the most significant fluctuations related toimpact of the sale of the dry cooling business, a decline in sales associated withorganic revenue, and, to a lesser extent, a stronger U.S. dollar in 2016. These decreases were offset partially by the impact of a reduction in revenues of $57.2 during the third quarter of 2015 resulting from a revision to the expected revenues and profits on our large power projects in South Africa, power and energy pumps, and fare collection systems, partially offset by increases in sales of cooling equipment, power transformers and heating and ventilation products. Despite theAfrica. The decline in revenue, aggregateorganic revenues was due primarily to lower sales by our power generation businesses. See “Results of Reportable Segments” for additional details.
During 2016, we generated operating income and the related profit margin for our operating segments increased to $522.1 and 11.1%, respectively, in 2014,of $55.0, compared to $510.1an operating loss of $122.2 in 2015. Operating income (loss) for 2016 and 10.7%, respectively, in 2013. Much2015 was impacted by the following:

2015:
A reduction in revenue andoperating income of $33.3$95.0 associated with revisionsa third quarter 2015 revision to our estimates of expected revenues and costs related toprofits on our large power projects in South Africa, due primarily to overall project delaysAfrica.
A significant amount of general and subcontractor challenges. Operating cash flows from continuing operations totaled $81.7 in 2014, compared to $111.6 in 2013. The operating cash flows for 2014 included $235.0 of income tax paymentsadministrative costs associated with corporate employees and other corporate support that transferred to SPX FLOW at the 2014 salestime of our interest in the EGS Electrical Group LLCSpin-Off.
In addition, operating results for 2016 and Subsidiaries ("EGS") joint venture2015 were impacted by net charges of $15.4 and our Thermal Product Solutions ("TPS"), SPX Precision Components ("Precision Components") and Fenn LLC ("Fenn") businesses (cash inflows from these dispositions have been included in "Cash flows from investing activities"), while operating cash flows for 2013 included a discretionary pension contribution of $250.0 to the SPX U.S. Pension Plan.

        Consistent$18.6, respectively, associated with our disciplined capital allocation methodology, we madepension and postretirement plans, with the following key capital allocations during 2014:

        We remain in a strong financial position, with $427.6 of cash and equivalents and $1,369.7 of total debt at the end of 2014. This compares to cash and equivalents and total debt at the end of 2013 of $691.8 and $1,675.6, respectively.

Operating cash flows from continuing operations totaled $53.4 in 2016, compared to cash flows used in continuing operations during 2015 of TPS, Precision Components and Fenn Businesses — We sold these businesses during 2014$76.0. The increase in operating cash flows was primarily due to the fact that cash flows used in operating activities for aggregate cash proceeds2015 included disbursements for general corporate overhead costs related to a corporate structure that supported the SPX business prior to the Spin-Off. As previously noted, a significant portion of $108.6, resulting in an aggregate gain, net of taxes, of $14.4, which was recordedthis corporate structure transferred to "Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax." See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

        Additional details onSPX FLOW at the matters mentioned above and various other matters are discussed below.

Redemption of Senior Notes — On February 11, 2014, we completed the redemption of all our 7.625% senior notes due in December 2014 for a total redemption price of $530.6. As a resulttime of the redemption, we recorded a charge of $32.5 to "Loss on early extinguishment of debt" during 2014, which consisted of premiums paid of $30.6, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees of $1.0,Spin-Off and, other costs incurred to redeem the notes of $0.9. See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Share Repurchases — We repurchased a total of 4.852 sharesthus, was no longer part of our common stock for $488.8company during 2014, which completed the repurchases authorized under the Rule 10b5-1 trading plan entered into on December 18, 2013. See Note 152016. In addition, operating cash flows associated with our businesses increased during 2016, compared to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Pension Plan Matters

        See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details on the above matters.

        See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details on the above charges.

Planned Spin-Off Transaction

        On October 29, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors had unanimously approved a plan for a tax-free spin-off of our Flow Technology reportable segment and our Hydraulic Technologies business, a business currently reported within Industrial Products and Services and Other. The spin-off would create a new stand-alone, publicly-traded company focused on providing highly engineered technologies and services to customers in the global power and energy, food and beverage, and industrial markets. We currently expect the transaction to be completed during the third quarter of 2015.

        One-time costs, net of income taxes, associated with this planned transaction are expected to be in the range of $60.0 to $80.0, inclusive of income taxes on the repatriation of foreign earnings. We incurred the following costs in 2014 related to the above planned transaction:

long-term projects.

        In connection with the planned spin-off transaction, we determined that we would no longer pursue the sale of our Flash Technologies business, a business previously reported in discontinued operations. Accordingly, we have reclassified the results of operations, assets and liabilities, and cash flows of this business to continuing operations for all periods presented. This business is included within Industrial Products and Services and Other.

Income Taxes — During 2014, our income tax provision was impacted primarily by U.S. income taxes provided in connection with the $491.2 gain on the sale of our interest in EGS, as well as discrete income tax charges of $9.2. These charges were composed primarily of (i) the $29.7 of aggregate tax charges noted above and (ii) $14.5 related to additional net increases in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets. These charges were partially offset by tax benefits of (i) $28.6 related to various audit settlements, statute expirations and other adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions, and (ii) $6.4 related to a loss on an investment in a foreign subsidiary.


Results of Continuing Operations

Cyclicality of End Markets, Seasonality and CompetitionCompetition— — ManyThe financial results of our businesses closely follow changes in the industries in which they operate and end markets in which they serve. In addition, certain of our businesses have seasonal fluctuations. Demand in the oil and gas aftermarket is typically stronger in the second half of the year. OurFor example, our heating and ventilation products businesses tendbusiness tends to be stronger duringin the third and fourth quarters, as customer buying habits are driven largely by seasonal weather patterns. Demand for cooling towers, food and beverage systems and related services is highly correlated to timing on large construction contracts, which may cause significant fluctuations in our financial performance from period to period. In aggregate, our businesses generally tend to be stronger in the second half of the year.

Although our businesses operate in highly competitive markets, our competitive position cannot be determined accurately in the aggregate or by segment since none of our competitors do not offer all the same product lines or serve all


the same markets.markets as we do. In addition, specific reliable comparative figures are not available for many of our competitors. In most product groups, competition comes from numerous concerns, both large and small. The principal methods of competition are service, product performance, technical innovation and price. These methods vary with the type of product sold. We believe we compete effectively on the basis of each of these factors. See "Business
 —Reportable Segments and Other Operating Segments" for a discussion of our competitors.

Non-GAAP Measures — Organic revenue growth (decline) presented herein is defined as revenue growth (decline) excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions/divestitures, and acquisitions.the impact of the revenue reduction that resulted from the third quarter 2015 and fourth quarter 2014 revisions to the expected revenues and profits on our large power projects in South Africa of $57.2 and $25.0, respectively. We believe this metric is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, as, when read in conjunction with our revenues, it presents a useful tool to evaluate our ongoing operations and provides investors with a tool they can use to evaluate our management of assets held from period to period. In addition, organic revenue growth (decline) is one of the factors we use in internal evaluations of the overall performance of our business. This metric, however, is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"(“GAAP”), should not be considered a substitute for net revenue growth (decline) as determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Revenues — For 2014,2016, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2013,2015, was due to the strengtheningimpact of the U.S. dollar duringsale of the perioddry cooling business, a decline in organic revenue, and, to a lesser extent, a decreasestronger U.S. dollar in 2016. These decreases were offset partially by the impact of a reduction in revenues of $57.2 during the third quarter of 2015 resulting from a revision to the expected revenues and profits on our large power projects in South Africa. The decline in organic revenue. The decrease in organic revenuerevenues was attributabledue primarily to a decreaselower sales by the power generation businesses within our Flow TechnologyEngineered Solutions reportable segment, with such decrease generally offset by an increase within our Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segment (see "Resultssegment. See “Results of Reportable Segments and Other Operating Segments"Segments” for additional details).details.

For 2013,2015, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2012,2014, was due to a decline in organic revenues and, to a lesser extent,revenue, the impactstrengthening of a strongerthe U.S. dollar, (primarily versus the South African Rand). The declineand a net reduction in organic revenues was attributable primarily to declines within our Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segment and, to a lesser extent, our Flow Technology reportable segment, partially offset by an increase in sales within Industrial Products and Services and Other (see "Results of Reportable Segments and Other Operating Segments" for additional details).

Gross Profit — The decrease in gross profit, compared to 2013, was primarily due to a decline in revenues. In addition, gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenues in 2014 were negatively impacted by (i) revisions to expected revenues and costs onassociated with our large power projects in South Africa, which resulted Africa. The decline



in organic revenue was due primarily to lower sales by the power generation businesses within our Engineered Solutions reportable segment. As mentioned above, we recorded a reduction in revenues of gross profit$57.2 during the third quarter of 2015 associated with our large power projects in South Africa. During 2014, we recorded a $25.0 reduction to revenues related to these same projects. See “Results of $33.3 (see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statementsReportable Segments” for additional details), (ii) lower sales of fare collection systems and (iii) an increased mix of lower margin power transformer sales. These decreasesdetails.
Gross Profit — For 2016, the increase in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenues, generally were offset by improved operating execution and favorable sales mix within our Flow Technology reportable segment, as well as cost reductions associated with restructuring initiatives within our Flow Technology and Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segments.

        The increasecompared to 2015, was due primarily to a reduction in gross profit of $95.0 during the third quarter of 2015 associated with a revision to the expected revenues and gross profit as a percentage of revenue during 2013, compared to 2012, was primarily the result of improved operating performance within certain European and U.S. locationsprofits of our Flow Technology reportable segment, which offset the impact of lower organic revenue for the segment, as well as project execution challenges experienced by the segment's food and beverage business.large power projects in South Africa. In addition, during 2016, gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenues were impacted favorably in 2013 by organic revenue growth across all ofcost reductions and improved operating efficiency at the businesses within Industrial Productsour HVAC reportable segment and Services and Other and improved operating execution within our power transformer business.

The decrease in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenue in 2015, compared to 2014, was primarily due to the $95.0 reduction in gross profit associated with our large power projects in South Africa.
Selling, General and Administrative ("(“SG&A"&A”) Expense — For 2014, the increase in SG&A expense, compared to 2013, was due primarily to an increase in (i) pension and postretirement expense of $126.2 (an overall increase in pension and


postretirement expense of $131.5, with $5.3 included in "Cost of products sold") and, to a lesser extent, (ii) incentive compensation expense of $18.1 and (iii) stock-based compensation of $5.5. These increases were partially offset by the impacts of (i) cost reductions from restructuring actions completed in 2013 and 2014 within our Flow Technology and Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segments and (ii) foreign currency translation.

        The increase in pension and postretirement expense reflects an increase in actuarial losses recognized in SG&A of $99.2 (from a gain of $1.0 recognized in 2013 to a loss of $98.2 recognized in 2014), resulting primarily from reductions in discount rates and changes in mortality rate assumptions utilized to measure our pension and postretirement obligations, as well as settlement losses associated with the lump-sum payment action for the U.S. Plan during the first quarter of 2014 and the transfer of the obligations for monthly pension payments to retirees under the U.K. Plan to an insurance company during the fourth quarter of 2014. Increases in pension and postretirement expense were partially offset by favorable plan asset returns, compared to expected rates of return, during 2014.

        For 2013,2016, the decrease in SG&A expense, compared to 2012,2015, was due primarily to declines in corporate expense of $61.7, pension and postretirement expense of $3.2, and long-term incentive compensation expense of $20.2. See “Results of Reportable Segments” for additional details on corporate expense, pension and postretirement expense, and long-term incentive compensation expense.

For 2015, the decrease in SG&A expense, compared to 2014, was due primarily to a decreasedecline in (i) pension and postretirement expense of $166.6$85.6 (an overall decrease in pension and postretirement expense of $175.7,$86.3, with $9.1$0.7 included in "Cost“Cost of products sold"sold”) and, (ii) stock-basedto a lesser extent, a decline in corporate expense of $30.5, a decrease in incentive compensation, and the impact of $6.0.currency translation. The decrease in pension and postretirement expense reflectsin 2015 was due to a decrease in actuarial losses recognized in SG&Aduring the year. See “Results of $143.4 (from a loss of $142.4 recognized in 2012 to a gain of $1.0 recognized in 2013)Reportable Segments” for additional details on corporate expense and a reduction in expense resulting from a $250.0 discretionary contribution to our domestic qualified pension plan in April of 2013. These decreases in SG&A were offset partially by an increaseand postretirement expenses. The decrease in incentive compensation was due to lower profitability in 2013 of $14.7.

2015.

Intangible Amortization — For 2014,2016, the decline in intangible amortization, compared to 2015, was primarily the result of (i) discontinuing amortization on the long-term assets of our dry cooling business in connection with classifying the business’s assets and liabilities as “held for sale,” effective December 31, 2015, and (ii) the impact of the $23.9 impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016 associated with our Heat Transfer business’s definite-lived intangible assets. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details on the impairment charge recorded for the definite-lived intangible assets of our Heat Transfer business.
For 2015, the decrease in intangible amortization, compared to 2013,2014, was due primarily to the impact of foreign currency translation.

        For 2013, the decrease in intangible amortization, compared to 2012, was due primarily to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortizedtranslation resulting from a stronger U.S. dollar during 2012.

2015.

Impairment of GoodwillIntangible and Other Long-Term Assets — During 2014,2016, we recorded impairment charges of $11.7 and $8.4$30.1 related to the trademarksintangible assets of certain businesses within our Flow TechnologyHeat Transfer business, which included $23.9 for definite-lived intangible assets and Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segments, respectively.$6.2 for indefinite-lived intangible assets.
During 2014, we recorded an impairment charge of $10.9 related to the indefinite-lived intangible assets of our Heat Transfer business. In addition, during 2014, we recorded an impairment charge of $18.0 related to our Cooling reporting unit'sdry cooling business’s investment in thea joint venture with Shanghai Electric JV.

        During 2013, we recorded impairment charges of $6.7 related to the trademarks of certain businesses within our Flow Technology reportable segment.

        During 2012, we recorded impairment charges of $281.4 associated with the goodwill ($270.4) and other long-term assets ($11.0) of our Cooling reporting unit. In addition, we recorded impairment charges of $4.5 related to trademarks for two businesses within our Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segment.

Gain on Sale of Dry Cooling Business — On March 30, 2016, we completed the sale of our dry cooling business resulting in a gain of $18.4. See Notes 1 and 4 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Other Income (Expense), Net — Other expense, net, for 2016 was composed primarily of charges of $4.2 associated with asbestos product liability matters, losses on foreign currency forward contracts (“FX forward contracts”) of $5.1, and losses on currency forward embedded derivatives (“FX embedded derivatives”) of $1.2. These amounts were offset partially by foreign currency transaction gains of $3.9, income from company-owned life insurance policies of $2.8, equity earnings in joint ventures of $1.5, income associated with transition services provided in connection with the sale of the dry cooling business of $0.9, and gains on asset sales of $0.9.
Other expense, net, for 2015 was composed primarily of charges of $8.0 associated with asbestos product liability matters, foreign currency transaction losses of $7.4, losses on foreign currency forward contracts of $7.7, partially offset by gains of $6.5 on currency forward embedded derivatives, a gain of $3.8 related to death benefits on life insurance contracts, and equity earnings in joint ventures of $1.5.
Other income, net, for 2014 was composed primarily of the gain on sale of our interest in EGS of $491.2 and, to a much lesser extent, investment-relatedinvestment earnings of $9.0 and$2.7, gains on FX embedded derivatives of $5.4,$3.1, equity earnings in joint ventures of $1.6, and foreign currency transaction gains of $0.1, partially offset by (i) losses on FX forward contracts of $7.8, (ii) a charge of $5.0 to obtain the consents required of the holders of our 6.875% senior notes to amend certain provisions to the indenture governing such senior notes, with such consent obtained in connection with the planned spin-off transaction previously discussed, and (iii) foreign currency transaction losses of $4.7.

$5.8.

        Other expense, net, for 2013 was composed primarily of foreign currency transaction losses of $16.1 and losses on FX forward contracts of $0.1, partially offset by gains on FX embedded derivatives of $0.6 and investment-related earnings of $4.2.

        Other income, net, for 2012 was composed primarily of a gain of $20.5 associated with the deconsolidation of our dry cooling products business in China, investment-related earnings of $9.9, and gains on FX forward contracts of $0.2, partially offset by foreign currency transaction losses of $12.2 and losses on FX embedded derivatives of $0.4.

Interest Expense, Net — Interest expense, net, includes both interest expense and interest income. The decrease in interest expense, net, during 2014,2016, compared to 2013, was primarily a result of the redemption of all our 7.625% senior notes during the first quarter of 2014 and, to a lesser extent, lower average interest rates and fees related to our senior credit facilities. (See "MD&A — Liquidity and Financial Condition" and Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements for further details pertaining to our 2014 debt activity.)

        The decrease in interest expense, net, during 2013, compared to 2012,2015, was primarily the result of a decline in interest expense due to lower average debt balances during 2016.

The increase in interest expense, net, during 2015, compared to 2014, was primarily a result of a decrease in interest income during 2015 due to the lower average cash balances during the year, partially offset by the impact of refinancing our senior credit facilities during the third quarter of 2015 in preparation for the Spin-Off, which resulted in a decrease in our outstanding term loan and our average outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facilities.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt — During the third quarter of 2016, we reduced the issuance capacity under our foreign credit facilities and trade receivables financing arrangement from $162.0 during 2012 to $8.8 during 2013. Interest expense in 2013 includedby $200.0. In connection with such reduction, we recorded a charge of $1.0$1.3 associated with the write-off of the unamortized deferred financing costs asfees related to the $200.0 of previously available issuance capacity.
In the third quarter of 2015, we refinanced our senior credit facilities in connection with the Spin-Off. As a result of the amendmentrefinancing, we recorded a charge of $1.4 during 2015, which consisted of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees related to our prior senior credit facilities.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt — As previously noted, in

In the first quarter of 2014, we completed the redemption of all our 7.625% senior notes due in December 2014 for a total redemption price of $530.6. As a result of the redemption, we recorded a charge of $32.5 during 2014, which consisted of the premiumspremium paid of $30.6, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees of $1.0, and other costs incurred to redeem the notes of $0.9.

Equity Earnings in Joint Ventures — Prior to 2014, our equity earnings in joint ventures were attributable primarily to our investment in EGS. As previously noted, we completed the sale of our investment interest in EGS in January 2014. Accordingly, we recognized no equity earnings from this joint venture during 2014. Our equity earnings from this investment totaled $41.9 and $39.0 during 2013 and 2012, respectively. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our investment in EGS.

Income Taxes — During 2014,2016, we recorded an income tax provision of $214.1$9.1 on $594.2$39.4 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 36.0%23.1%. The most significant items impacting the effective tax rate for 2016 were the $0.3 of income taxes provided in connection with the $18.4 gain that was recorded on the sale of the dry cooling business, $13.7 of foreign losses generated during the period for which no tax benefit was recognized as future realization of any such tax benefit is considered unlikely, and $2.4 of tax benefits related to various audit settlements, statute expirations, and other adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

During 2015, we recorded an income tax benefit of $2.7 on $154.3 of a pre-tax loss from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 1.7%. The most significant item impacting the effective tax rate for 2015 was the effects of approximately $139.0 of pre-tax losses generated during the year (the majority of which relate to our large power projects in South Africa) for which no tax benefit was recognized, as future realization of such tax benefit is considered unlikely. In addition, we incurred foreign tax charges of $3.7 related to the Spin-Off and the reorganization actions undertaken to facilitate the Spin-Off and $3.4 of net charges related to various audit settlements, statute expirations, and other adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
During 2014, we recorded an income tax provision of $137.5 on $252.1 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 54.5%. The effective tax rate for 2014 was impacted by the U.S. income taxes provided in connection with the $491.2 gain on the sale of our interest in EGS, and by the following income tax charges: (i) $19.6charges of $33.8 related to net increases in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets, including $5.1 for which the related $11.4 of income


tax benefits are no longer expected to be realized due to legal entity reorganization actions required in connection with the planned spin-off transaction previously discussed, (ii) $18.6charges related to the repatriation of certain earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, and (iii) $6.0 ofa low effective tax rate on foreign income taxes related to certain reorganization actions undertaken to facilitate the planned spin-off transaction. The impact of these items waslosses, partially offset by the following income tax benefits: (i) $28.6$16.2 of tax benefits related to various audit settlements, statute expirations and other adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions, with the most notable being the closure of our U.S. tax examination for the years 2008 through 2011, and (ii) $6.4 of tax benefits related to a loss on an investment in a foreign subsidiary.

        During 2013, we recorded an income tax provision of $60.3 on $271.6 of pre-tax income from continuing operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 22.2%. The effective tax rate for 2013 was impacted favorably by income tax benefits of (i) $9.5 associated with net reductions in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets, (ii) $6.5 recorded in connection with various audit settlements and statute expirations during the period, and (iii) $4.1 related to the Research and Experimentation Credit generated in 2012.

        During 2012, we recorded an income tax benefit of $14.2 on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $179.4, resulting in an effective tax rate of 7.9%. The effective tax rate for 2012 was impacted by (i) an income tax benefit of $26.3 associated with the $281.4 impairment charge recorded for our Cooling reporting unit's goodwill and other long-term assets, as the majority of the goodwill for the Cooling reporting unit has no basis for income tax purposes, (ii) taxes provided of $15.4 on foreign dividends and undistributed earnings that were no longer considered to be indefinitely reinvested, (iii) incremental tax expense of $6.1 associated with the deconsolidation of our dry cooling business in China, as the goodwill allocated to the transaction was not deductible for income tax purposes, and (iv) valuation allowances that were recorded against deferred income tax assets during the year of $5.4. These income tax charges were offset partially by income tax benefits of $22.3 associated with audit closures, settlements, statute expirations, and other changes in the accrual for uncertain tax positions, with the most notable being the closure of our German tax examination for the years 2005 through 2009.

        The final sales price for certain of the divested businesses is subject to adjustment based on working capital existing at the respective closing dates. The working capital figures are subject to agreement with the buyers or, if we cannot come to agreement with the buyers, an arbitration or other dispute-resolution process. Final agreement of the working capital figures with the buyers for certain of these transactions has yet to occur. In addition, changes2014.

Changes in estimates associated with liabilities retained in connection with a business divestiture (e.g., income taxes) may occur.

Revenues — For 2014,2016, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2013,2015, was due to a decline in organic revenue and, to a lesser extent, the strengtheningimpact of thea stronger U.S. dollar during 2016. The organic revenue decline primarily was the period.result of lower sales by the segment’s heating and ventilation products businesses.
For 2015, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2014, was due to a decline in organic revenue and, to a lesser extent, a stronger U.S. dollar during 2015. The organic revenue decline was due to lower sales within the segment’s heating and ventilation products businesses, partially offset by an increase in sales of cooling products, including a project in the U.S. that contributed $7.3 of revenues during 2015.
Income — For 2016, margin increased, compared to 2015, primarily as a result of improved operating efficiency and a more profitable sales mix within the segment’s heating and ventilation products businesses.

Revenues — For 2016, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2015, was due to a stronger U.S. dollar in 2016 and, to a lesser extent, a decline in organic revenue. The decline in organic revenue was due primarily to a decrease in sales of communication technologies products, generally offset by increases in sales of bus fare collection systems and specialty lighting products.
For 2015, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2014, was due to a decline in organic revenue and a stronger U.S. dollar in 2015. The organic revenue decline was due to lower sales of bus fare collection systems and specialty lighting products, partially offset by increased sales of underground pipe and cable locators and inspection equipment.
Income — For 2016, the decrease in income, compared to 2015, was primarily due to the revenue declines noted above.
For 2015, income and margin decreased, compared to 2014, primarily as a result of (i) the revenue decline noted above and (ii) a less profitable mix associated with sales of communication technology equipment, underground pipe and cable locators, and inspection equipment.
Backlog — The segment had backlog of $53.6 and $36.9 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Approximately 70% of the segment’s backlog as of December 31, 2016 is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2017.

Revenues — For 2016, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2015, was due primarily to the impact of the sale of the dry cooling business, a decline in organic revenue, and, to a lesser extent, the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar in 2016, partially offset by the impact of a reduction in revenues of $57.2 during the third quarter of 2015 resulting from a revision to the expected revenues and profits on our large power projects in South Africa. The decline in organic revenues was due primarily to lower sales of power generation equipment.
For 2015, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2014, was due to a decline in organic revenue, the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar during 2015, and a net reduction in revenues associated with the segment’s large power projects in South Africa. The decline in organic revenue was due primarily to lower sales of power generation equipment and, energy pumps, partially offset by increased sales of food and beverage systems.

        For 2013,



to a lesser extent, power transformers. As mentioned above, the decreasesegment recorded a reduction in revenues of $57.2 during the third quarter of 2015 associated with the segment’s large power projects in South Africa. During 2014, the segment recorded a $25.0 reduction to revenues related to these same projects.
Income — For 2016, the increase in profit and margin, compared to 2012,2015, was due primarily to an organic revenue decline and, tothe fact that the segment’s results for 2015 included a lesser extent, the strengtheningreduction in profit of the U.S. dollar$95.0 during the period. The decline in organic revenue was due primarilythird quarter of 2015 resulting from a revision to lower sales of foodthe expected revenues and beverage systemsprofits on our large power projects in Asia PacificSouth Africa. During 2016, income and lower salesmargin for the segment’s power transformer business increased as a result of Clyde Union's original equipment oil and gas pumps. These declinesimproved operating efficiency. However, these increases were offset partially by an increaselower profitability within certain of the power generation businesses, resulting primarily from the declines in sales of valves, closures and other components into oil and gas markets, primarily in North America and Europe, as well as increased food and beverage systems revenues in Europe.

Incomerevenue noted above. — 

For 2014,2015, income and margin increased,decreased, compared to 2013,2014, primarily due to (i) improved operating execution and favorable sales mixas a result of the reduction in profits associated primarily with the segment'ssegment’s large power and energy and food and beverage businesses and (ii) cost reductions associated with restructuring initiatives at various locationsprojects in EuropeSouth Africa and the United States.

        For 2013, income and margin increased, compared to 2012, due to improved operating execution at a number of businesses within the segment, cost reductions associated with restructuring initiatives implemented at Clyde Union, and the


increased sales of oil and gas components at our European and U.S. facilities, which more than offset the impact of the organic revenue decline, described above, as well as execution challenges on certain large food and beverage systems projects experiencedboth of which are mentioned above. These declines in 2013. In addition, in 2012, income and margin were dilutedpartially offset by $8.1 associatedimproved profitability within the segment’s power transformer business, with the excess fair value (over historical cost) of inventory acquired in the Clyde Union transaction and subsequently sold in the first half of 2012.

Backlog — The segment had backlog of $1,149.3$416.7 and $1,387.4$636.0 as of December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, respectively. Of the $219.3 year-over-year decline in backlog, $40.0 was attributable to the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2016, as compared to December 31, 2015. In addition, the balance at December 31, 2015 included $127.3 of backlog associated with our dry cooling business.

Revenues — For 2014, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2013, was due to the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar during the period (versus primarily the South African Rand and Euro), partially offset by an increase in organic revenue. The organic revenue growth was the result of increases in sales of cooling equipment in the U.S. and Asia Pacific, as well as heating and ventilation products in the U.S., partially offset by the expected decrease in revenues associated with the large power projects in South Africa.

        For 2013, the decrease in revenues, compared to 2012, was due to an organic revenue decline and, to a lesser extent, the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (primarily versus the South African Rand). The organic revenue decline was due primarily to a decrease in power generation equipment and service sales in North America and Europe, and the expected winding down of our large power projects in South Africa.

Income — For 2014, income and margin decreased, compared to 2013, primarily due to the reduction in income on the large power projects in South Africa of approximately $50.0. The decline in income for these projects resulted from the expected decrease in revenues noted above and revisions to expected revenues and costs on the projects, due to overall project delays and subcontractor challenges, which resulted in a reduction of income during 2014 of $33.3 (see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details). This decline in income and margin was offset partially by the impact of cost reductions associated with restructuring initiatives and improved profitability associated with the segment's heating and ventilation products primarily related to the organic revenue growth described above.

        For 2013, income and margin decreased, compared to 2012, primarily due to the organic revenue decline described above, offset partially by improved execution and cost reductions associated with restructuring actions initiated in the first half of 2013.

Backlog — The segment had backlog of $714.1 and $675.4 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Approximately 70% of the segment's backlog as of December 31, 2014 is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2015. Portions of this backlog are long-term in nature, with the related revenues expected to be recorded through 2015 and beyond. The backlog figures as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 exclude approximately $70.0 and $100.0, respectively, of estimated price increases related to cost inflation on our large power projects in South Africa.

Revenues — For 2014, the increase in revenues, compared to 2013, was due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the period and, to a lesser extent, an increase in organic revenue. The increase in organic revenue was due primarily to an increase in power transformer volume, partially offset by lower sales of fare collection systems and tower and obstruction lights and monitoring equipment.

        For 2013, the increase in revenues, compared to 2012, was due primarily to an increase in organic revenue related to increased sales for most of the businesses within the group, with the most significant contributors being power transformers and fare collection systems.

Income — For 2014, income and margin decreased, compared to 2013, primarily due to a decline in fare collection systems sales and profit. Margins were also impacted by the increased mix of lower margin power transformer sales.

        For 2013, the increase in income and margin, compared to 2012, was due primarily to leverage on increased sales volumes and improved operating execution at our power transformer business.

Backlog — The segment had backlog of $335.9 and $286.1 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Approximately 90% of the segment's backlog as of December 31, 2014 is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2015.

Corporate Expense — Corporate expense generally relates to the cost of our Charlotte, NC corporate headquarters andheadquarters. Prior to the Spin-Off, corporate expense also included costs of our Asia Pacific center in Shanghai, China. Corporate expense for 2013 includedChina, which was part of the Spin-Off, costs that were previously allocated to the Flow Business that do not meet the requirements to be presented within discontinued operations, and the cost of $7.7 associated with earnings on participant deferred compensation balances, while such earnings were includedcorporate employees who became employees of SPX FLOW at the time of the Spin-Off. The decrease in "Other income (expense), net" during 2014. The impact of this decline on 2014 corporate expense was offset partially by an increase in incentive compensation expense.

        Corporate expense increased during 2013,2016, compared to 2012,2015, and in 2015, compared to 2014, was due primarily to an increasethe elimination of costs in connection with the Spin-Off, including the cost of corporate employees who became employees of SPX FLOW. In addition, incentive compensation expense.

was lower in 2015, compared to 2014, due to lower profitability in 2015.

Pension and Postretirement Expense (Income) — Pension and postretirement expense (income) represents our consolidated expense, (income), which we do not allocate for segment reporting purposes. We recognize changesThe decline in the fair valuepension and postretirement expense in 2016, compared to 2015, was due to a decline in actuarial losses, as actuarial losses in 2016 totaled $12.0 compared to $15.9 in 2015. Actuarial losses for 2016 and 2015 resulted primarily from our fourth quarter re-measurement of planour plan’s assets and actuarial gains and losses in earnings duringliabilities, with the resulting charges for the fourth quarter of each year, unless earlier remeasurement is required, as a component of net periodic2016 and 2015 totaling $10.2 and $9.6, respectively. The fourth quarter 2016 charges resulted primarily from lower discount rates applied to our plans’ projected benefit expense. The remaining components of pension and postretirement expense (income),obligations, while the fourth quarter 2015 charges resulted primarily service and interest costs andfrom lower than expected returnreturns on plan assets. Actuarial losses for 2016 also included charges of $1.8 associated with the second quarter 2016 re-measurement of the assets are recorded onand liabilities of the SPX U.S. Pension Plan (the “U.S. Plan”) and Supplemental Individual Account Retirement Plan (“SIARP”) in connection with lump-sum payments that were made by these plans during the quarter. Actuarial losses for 2015 also included charges of $11.4 associated with the third quarter 2015 re-measurement of the assets and liabilities of the U.S. Plan and SIARP in connection with an amendment to these plans to freeze all benefits of active non-union participants. This amendment also resulted in a quarterly basis.curtailment gain of $5.1 during the third quarter of 2015.


Pension and postretirement expense for 2014 included changes in the fair value of plan assets andnet actuarial losses of $71.9 that resulted primarily from reductions in discount rates and changes in mortality rate assumptions utilized to measure our pension and postretirement obligations, partially offset by favorable plan asset returns, compared to expected returns during 2014. Pension and postretirement expense also$95.0. The actuarial losses for 2014 included net losses of $29.6 associated with charges of (i) $65.4 resulting from the fourth quarter re-measurement of our plans’ assets and liabilities,



(ii) $19.4 for the lump-sum payment action related to the U.S. Plan during the first quarter of 2014, and (ii)(iii) $15.0 related to the premium paid in order to transfer monthly payments to retirees under the SPX U.K. Pension Plan to an insurance company during the fourth quarter of 2014. Pension and postretirement expense for 2014 partially offset byalso included a reduction of $4.8 increase to the estimated settlement lossgain that was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2013 in connection with the transfer of the pension obligation for the retirees of the U.S. Plan to an insurance company.

        Pension and postretirement income for 2013 included changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial gains of $0.8 that resulted primarily from an increase in discount rates during the year, partially offset by the premium paid in order to transfer the monthly payments to retirees under the U.S. Plan to an insurance company. In addition, pension and postretirement income for 2013 was impacted favorably by a discretionary contribution of $250.0 to the U.S. Plan during April 2013.

        Pension and postretirement expense for 2012 included changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial losses of $149.9, associated primarily with a decrease in discount rates during the year.

See Note 109 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on our pension and postretirement plans.

        Stock-basedLong-term Incentive Compensation Expense — Stock-based compensation expense represents our consolidated expense, which we do not allocate for segment reporting purposes. The increase in stock-based compensation expense for 2014, compared to 2013, was primarily the result of an increase in the fair value of the 2014 restricted stock share and restricted stock unit awards, as the weighted-average fair value of the 2014 awards was approximately 41% higher than the 2013 awards.

 The decrease in stock-basedlong-term incentive compensation expense for 2013,in 2016, compared to 2012,2015, was due primarily to a reductionthe fact that the 2015 amount included $21.6 of costs related to corporate employees who became employees of SPX FLOW at the time of the Spin-Off or retired in stock-based compensation associatedconnection with our executive officer group, as well as anthe Spin-Off.

The increase in forfeitureslong-term incentive compensation expense for 2015, compared to 2014, was due primarily to additional compensation during 2013.

2015

Operating Activities — CashThe increase in cash flows from operating activities during 20142016, compared to 2015, was due primarily to the fact that cash flows used in operating activities for 2015 included income tax payments, net of refunds, of $314.8 (compared to $50.3 in 2013), including $235.0disbursements for general corporate overhead costs related to a corporate structure that supported the salesSPX business prior to the Spin-Off. As previously noted, a significant portion of this corporate structure transferred to SPX FLOW at the time of the Spin-Off and, thus, was no longer part of our interest in EGS andcompany during 2016. In addition, operating cash flows associated with our businesses increased during 2016, compared to 2015, primarily as a result of the TPS, Precision Components and Fenn businesses. Cash flows from operating activities during 2013 included a $250.0 discretionary contribution to the U.S. Plan.timing of cash receipts on certain long-term projects.

Investing Activities — The increase in cash flows from investing activities during 2014,2016, compared to 2013,2015, was due primarily to proceeds from the sale of our interest in EGSdry cooling business of $574.1.$47.6.

Financing Activities — During 2014,2016, net cash flows used in financing activities primarily related to net repayments of $902.8 was duedebt of $18.9. During 2015, net cash flows used in financing activities primarily related to the redemptioncash dividend to SPX FLOW in connection with the Spin-Off of all our 7.625% senior notes due in December 2014 for $530.6, repurchases of our common stock of $488.8,$208.6 and dividends paid of $60.3,$45.9, partially offset by net borrowings on other debtunder our senior credit facilities of $191.0. During 2013, net cash used in financing activities of $335.4 was due primarily to repurchases of our common stock of $260.2, dividends paid of $34.7, and net repayments of debt of $20.8.$97.0.


Discontinued Operations — Cash flows from discontinued operations during 2014 included aggregate cash proceeds related to the sales of the TPS, Precision Components and Fenn businesses of $108.6, as well as operating and other investing cash flows related primarily to these businesses, while cash flows used in discontinued operations during 2013for 2016 related primarily to cash flows used in the operations of our Balcke Dürr business and the previously mentioned businesses as well as thosecash disposed of Kayex and Dielectric, partially offset by the aggregate cash proceeds of $11.6 associatedin connection with the sale of assetsBalcke Dürr, while cash flows from discontinued operations for 2015 related primarily to Kayex and Dielectric.the cash flows associated with the FLOW Business.



Change in Cash and Equivalents due to Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates — Changes in foreign currency exchange rates did not have a significant impact on our cash and equivalents during 2016. The decrease in cash and equivalents due to foreign currency exchange rates for 2014 of $65.2 reflects2015 reflected primarily a reduction in U.S. dollar equivalent balances of our Euro-denominated cash and equivalents as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro during the period,period.
2015 Compared to 2014
Operating Activities — The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities during 2015, compared to 2014, was due primarily to the fact that the amount for 2014 included income tax payments of approximately $235.0 associated with the sales of our interest in EGS and the TPS, Precision Components and Fenn businesses. The amounts for both 2015 and 2014 include disbursements for general corporate overhead costs related to a corporate structure that supported the SPX business prior to the Spin-Off. In addition, cash flows used in operating activities for both 2015 and 2014 were impacted by significant cash investments required for our large power projects in South Africa.
Investing Activities — The decrease in cash flows from investing activities during 2015, compared to 2014, was due primarily to the fact that the 2014 amount included proceeds of $574.1 related to the sale of our interest in EGS. Cash flows used in investing activities for 2015 were comprised primarily of capital expenditures of $16.0, while cash flows from investing activities in 2014 were comprised primarily of the proceeds from the sale of our interest in EGS of $574.1, partially offset by capital expenditures of $19.3.
Financing Activities — During 2015, net cash flows used in financing activities primarily related to the cash dividend to SPX FLOW in connection with the Spin-Off of $208.6 and dividends paid of $45.9, partially offset by net borrowings under our senior credit facilities of $97.0. During 2014, net cash flows used in financing activities primarily related to the redemption of our 7.625% senior notes for $530.6, share repurchases of $488.8, and cash dividends of $59.8, partially offset by net borrowings on other debt instruments of $250.0.
Discontinued Operations — Cash flows from discontinued operations for 2015 and 2014 related primarily to the cash flows associated with the FLOW Business and Balcke Dürr. In addition, cash flows from discontinued operations for 2014 included $108.6 of cash proceeds from the sale of our TPS, Precision Components and Fenn businesses. The decrease in cash flows from discontinued operations was due primarily to the fact that the 2015 amount only included cash flows for 2013the FLOW Business through the date of $15.5 reflectsSpin-Off (i.e., September 26, 2015), and the fourth quarter of each year typically is the strongest for our businesses with regard to operating cash flows, as well as the fact that the 2014 amount included the $108.6 of proceeds associated with business dispositions noted above, partially offset by a repayment of a capital lease obligation totaling $60.8 associated with the corporate headquarters facility that was transferred to SPX FLOW in connection with the Spin-Off.
Change in Cash and Equivalents due to Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates — The decrease in cash and equivalents due to foreign currency exchange rates for 2015 and 2014 reflected primarily a reduction in U.S. dollar equivalent balances of our South African Rand-denominatedEuro-denominated cash and equivalents as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the South African RandEuro during the period.those periods.

2013 Compared to 2012

        Operating Activities — Cash flows from operating activities during 2013 included $319.2 of defined benefit pension and postretirement contributions and direct benefit payments, $250.0 of which was a discretionary pension contribution, compared to $64.6 during 2012. Excluding the impact of these contributions, operating cash flows improved significantly on a year-over-year basis due to favorable working capital trends at many of our businesses. For example, Clyde Union's operating cash flows during 2013 totaled approximately $64.0 compared to cash used in operations during 2012 of approximately $100.0, with such cash outflows required in order to fund the business's initial working capital needs.

        Investing Activities — The decrease in cash used in investing activities during 2013, compared to 2012, was due primarily to (i) the acquisition of Seital S.r.l. during 2012 for $28.0 (there were no business acquisitions in 2013) and (ii) a reduction in capital expenditures (2013 — $55.1 and 2012 — $81.8).

        Financing Activities — During 2013, net cash used in financing activities of $335.4 was due primarily to repurchases of our common stock of $260.2, dividends paid of $34.7, and net repayments of debt of $20.8. During 2012, net cash used in financing activities of $669.6 was due primarily to net repayments of debt of $365.5, repurchases of our common stock of $245.6, and dividends paid of $63.6. The net repayments of debt, including repayments against our term loans of $325.0, and repurchases of common stock, resulted primarily from the proceeds that were received in connection with the sale of our Service Solutions business in December 2012.

        Discontinued Operations — Cash flows used in discontinued operations during 2013 related primarily to Kayex, Dielectric, TPS, Precision Components and Fenn, while cash flows from discontinued operations during 2012 related primarily to Service Solutions and the businesses mentioned above. The 2012 figure includes proceeds of $1,134.9 received in connection with the sale of our Service Solutions business in December 2012.

        Change in Cash and Equivalents due to Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates — The decrease in cash and equivalents due to foreign currency exchange rates for 2013 of $15.5 reflects primarily a reduction in U.S. dollar equivalent balances of our South African Rand-denominated cash and equivalents as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the South African Rand during the period. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates resulted only in a $2.2 increase in cash and equivalents during 2012.

        At December 31, 2014,September 24, 2020.

The participation foreign credit instrument facility and the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility originally provided financing of $300.0 and $200.0, respectively. On September 29, 2016, we had $53.8elected to reduce our participation foreign credit instrument facility commitment and $695.3, respectively,our bilateral foreign credit instrument facility commitment by $125.0 and $75.0, respectively. In connection with the reduction of outstanding letters of credit under our revolving credit and our foreign credit instrument facilitiesfacility commitments, we recorded a charge of our senior credit agreement. In addition, we had $5.7$1.3 to “Loss on early extinguishment of lettersdebt” during the third quarter of credit outstanding under separate arrangements in China and India.

The letters of credit under the domestic revolving credit facility are stand-by letters of credit requested by any borrowerSPX on behalf of itself or any of itsour subsidiaries or certain joint ventures. The foreign credit instrument facility is used to issue foreign credit instruments, including bank undertakings to support primarily commercial contract performance.

        Our senior credit facilities require

The Credit Agreement requires mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to the net proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, including from any casualty to, or governmental taking of, property in excess of specified values (other than in the ordinary course of business and subject to other exceptions). by SPX or our subsidiaries. Mandatory prepayments will be applied to repay, first, any amounts outstanding under theany term loans and, any other incremental term loans that we may have outstanding in the future, in the manner and order selected by us, and second, after the term loans and any such incremental term loans have been repaid in full,then, amounts (or cash collateralize letters of credit) outstanding under the global revolving credit facility and the domestic revolving credit facility (without reducing the commitments thereunder). No prepayment is required generally to the extent the net proceeds are reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) in permitted acquisitions, permitted investments or assets to be used in our business within 360 days (and if committed to be reinvested, actually reinvested within 180 days after the end of such 360-day period) of the receipt of such proceeds.

We may voluntarily prepay loans under our senior credit facilities,the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Any voluntary prepayment of loans will be subject to reimbursement of the lenders'lenders’ breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

Indebtedness under our senior credit facilitiesthe Credit Agreement is guaranteed by:

Each existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic material subsidiary with specified exceptions; and

•
SPX Corporation with respect to the obligations of our foreign borrower subsidiaries under the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and the bilateral participation foreign credit instrument facility.

Indebtedness under our senior credit facilitiesthe Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority pledge and security interest in 100% of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries (with certain exceptions) held by usSPX or our domestic subsidiary



guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of our material first-tier foreign subsidiaries (with certain exceptions). If ourSPX obtains a corporate credit rating from Moody’s and S&P and such corporate credit rating is less than "Ba2"“Ba2” (or not rated) by Moody'sMoody’s and less than "BB"“BB” (or not rated) by S&P, then weSPX and our domestic subsidiary guarantors are required to grant security interests, mortgages and other liens on substantially all of ourtheir assets. If ourSPX’s corporate credit rating is "Baa3"“Baa3” or better by Moody'sMoody’s or "BBB–"“BBB-” or better by S&P and no defaults would exist, then all collateral security will be released and the indebtedness under our senior credit facilitiesthe Credit Agreement will be unsecured.

        Our senior credit facilities require

The Credit Agreement requires that weSPX maintain:

A Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined(defined in the credit agreementCredit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended on such date to consolidated cash interest expense for such period) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of at least 3.50 to 1.00; and

•
A Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 (or 3.50 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters after certain permitted acquisitions).

        Our senior credit facilities

The Credit Agreement also containcontains covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, loans, guarantees, or advances, make restricted junior payments, including dividends, redemptions of capital stock, and voluntary prepayments or repurchase of certain other indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions or sales of assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, or engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. We do not expect these covenants to restrict our liquidity, financial condition or access to capital resources in the foreseeable future. Our senior credit facilities also containThe Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default.

We are permitted under our senior credit facilitiesthe Credit Agreement to repurchase our capital stock and pay cash dividends in an unlimited amount if our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) less than 2.50 to 1.00. If our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, the aggregate amount of such repurchases and dividend declarations cannot exceed (A) $100.0$50.0 in any fiscal year plus (B) an additional amount for all such repurchases and dividend declarations made after December 23, 2013the Effective Date equal to the sum of (i) $300.0 and$100.0 plus (ii) a positive amount equal to 50% of cumulative Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the credit agreementCredit Agreement generally as consolidated net income subject to certain adjustments solely for the purposes of determining this basket) during the period from July 1, 2011the Effective Date to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter preceding the date of such repurchase or dividend declaration for which financial statements have been (or were required to be) delivered (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit).

plus (iii) certain other amounts.

At December 31, 2014,2016, we were in compliance with all covenant provisionshad $313.9 of available borrowing capacity under our senior credit facilities. While the impact of continued market volatility cannot be predicted, we do not expect an impact on our ability to comply with the covenant provisions of our seniorrevolving credit facilities in the near or long term.

Senior Notes

after giving effect to $36.1 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. In August 2010,addition, at December 31, 2016, we issued, in a private placement, $600.0 aggregate principal amounthad $98.6 of 6.875% senior unsecured notes that mature in August 2017. The interest payment datesavailable issuance capacity under our foreign credit instrument facilities after giving effect to $201.4 reserved for these notes are March 1 and September 1outstanding letters of each year. The notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus an applicable premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If we experience certain types of change of control transactions, we must offer to repurchase the notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. These notes are unsecured and rank equally with all our existing and future unsubordinated unsecured senior indebtedness, but are effectively junior to our senior credit facilities. The indenture governing these notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and consummate some mergers. During the third quarter of 2011, these senior notes became freely tradable. Payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on these notes is guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our domestic subsidiaries. The likelihood of having to make payments under the guarantee is considered remote. credit.

At December 31, 2014,2016, we were in compliance with all covenants of our 6.875% senior notes. As indicated in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements, our Board of Directors approved a plan for a tax-free spin-off of our Flow Technology reportable segment and our Hydraulic Technologies business and the creation of a new stand-alone, publicly-traded company. In connection with the planned spin-off transaction, we obtained, in December 2014, consents from the holders of our 6.875% senior notes allowing these senior notes to become obligations of the new stand-alone, publicly traded company if, and when, the spin-off transaction is completed.

Credit Agreement.

        In December 2007, we issued, in a private placement, $500.0 aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior unsecured notes that were to mature in December 2014. On February 11, 2014, we completed the redemption of all the 7.625% senior notes for a total redemption price of $530.6. As a result of the redemption, we recorded a charge of $32.5 to "Loss on early extinguishment of debt" during 2014, which related to premiums paid to redeem the senior notes of $30.6, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees of $1.0, and other costs associated with the extinguishment of the senior notes of $0.9.

Other Borrowings and Financing Activities

Certain of our businesses purchase goods and services under purchase card programs allowing for payment beyond their normal payment terms. As of December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, the participating businesses had $32.1$3.9 and $25.4,$4.8, respectively, outstanding under these arrangements. As these arrangements extend the payment of our businesses' payables beyond their normal payment terms through third-party lending institutions, we have classified these amounts as short-term debt.

We are party to a trade receivables financing agreement, whereby we can borrow, on a continuous basis, up to $80.0.$50.0. Availability of funds may fluctuate over time given changes in eligible receivable balances, but will not exceed the $80.0$50.0 program limit. The facility contains representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities customary for facilities of this type. The facility does not contain any covenants that we view as materially constraining to the activities of our business.

Availability

In addition, we maintain line of credit facilities in China, India, and South Africa available to fund operations in these regions, when necessary. At December 31, 2014, we had $313.22016, the aggregate amount of available borrowing capacity under our revolving creditthese facilities after giving effect towas $16.1, while the aggregate borrowings under the domestic revolving loan facility of $133.0 and $53.8 reserved for outstanding letters of credit, and $70.0 of available borrowing capacity under our trade receivables financing arrangement after giving effect to outstanding borrowings of $10.0 under this arrangement. In addition, at December 31, 2014, we had $304.7 of available issuance capacity under our foreign trade facilities after giving effect to $695.3 reserved for outstanding letters of credit.

        Additionally, we have a shelf registration statement for 8.3 shares of common stock that may be issued for acquisitions. In addition, other financing instruments may be used from time to time, including, but not limited to, private placement instruments, operating leases, capital leases and securitizations. We expect that we will continue to access these markets as appropriate to maintain liquidity and to provide sources of funds for general corporate purposes, acquisitions or to refinance existing debt.

        At December 31, 2014, we had approximately $1,543.0 of undistributed foreign earnings, including approximately $1,265.0 for which no U.S. federal or state income taxes have been provided. If these earnings were distributed, we would be subject to U.S. income taxes (subject to a reduction for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries.

$11.0.



Financial Instruments

We measure our financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, and nonfinancial assets and liabilities on a non-recurring basis, at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We utilize market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) or significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Our derivative financial assets and liabilities include interest rate swap agreements, FX forward contracts, FX embedded derivatives, and forward contracts that manage the exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials ("(“commodity contracts"contracts”) that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties'counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Based on our continued ability to enter into forward contracts, we consider the markets for our fair value instruments active.

As of December 31, 2014,2016, there was no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk as the related instruments are collateralized under our senior credit facilities. Similarly, there was no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties'counterparties’ credit risk.

We primarily use the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are further discussed below.


Interest Rate Swaps

During the second quarter of 2016, we entered into interest rate swap agreements (“Swaps”) to hedge the interest rate risk on our variable rate term loan. These Swaps, which we designate and account for as cash flow hedges, have effective dates beginning in January 2017 and maturities through September 2020 and effectively convert 50% of the borrowing under the variable rate term loan to a fixed rate of 1.2895% plus the applicable margin. These are amortizing Swaps; therefore, the outstanding notional value is scheduled to decline commensurate with the scheduled maturities of the term loan. As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate notional amounts of the Swaps was $170.8 and the unrealized gain, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) was $0.7. In addition, we have recorded a long-term asset of $1.7 to recognize the fair value of these Swaps.
Currency Forward Contracts

We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency-denominated cash flows and to minimize the impact of changes as a result of currency fluctuations. Our principal currency exposures relate to the Euro, South African Rand CNY and GBP.

From time to time, we enter into FX forward contracts to manage the exposure on contracts with forecasted transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and to manage the risk of transaction gains and losses associated with assets/liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries.subsidiaries (“FX forward contracts”). In addition, some of our contracts contain currency forward embedded derivatives (“FX embedded derivatives,derivatives”), because the currency of exchange is not "clearly“clearly and closely"closely” related to the functional currency of either party to the transaction. Certain of our FX forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the derivatives'derivatives’ fair value are not included in current earnings, but are included in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI").AOCI. These changes in fair value are reclassified into earnings as a component of revenues or cost of products sold, as applicable, when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. In addition, if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable, the cumulative change in the derivatives'derivatives’ fair value is recorded as a component of "Other“Other income (expense), net"net” in the period in which the transaction is no longer considered probable of occurring. To the extent a previously designated hedging transaction is no longer an effective hedge, any ineffectiveness measured in the hedging relationship is recorded in earnings in the period in which it occurs.

We had FX forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $298.0$8.8 and $191.3$111.2 outstanding as of December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, respectively, with substantially all such contractsof the $8.8 scheduled to mature in 2015.2017.

Investments in Equity Securities

        During 2014, we sold all our previously owned available-for-sale securities, which included equity investments traded in active international markets. These securities were measured at fair value using closing stock prices from active markets and were classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. These assets had a fair value of $3.0 at December 31, 2013, and were sold for cash proceeds of $6.7 in 2014.


        We elected to account for certain other investments in equity securities not readily marketable under the fair value option. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, these assets had a fair value of $7.4 and $1.4, respectively, estimated using valuation models, including the Monte-Carlo simulation model.

Other Fair Value Financial Assets and Liabilities

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents and receivables reported in our consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

The fair value of our debt instruments (excluding capital leases), based on borrowing rates available to us atas of December 31, 20142016 approximated the related carrying values due primarily to the variable market-based interest rates for similar debt was $1,421.4, compared to our carrying value of $1,356.1.

such instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and interest rate swap, foreign currency forward, and commodity contracts. These financial instruments, other than trade accounts receivable, are placed with high-quality financial institutions throughout the world. We periodically evaluate the credit standing of these financial institutions.

We maintain cash levels in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally-insured limits. We have not experienced significant, and believe we are not exposed to significant risk of, loss in these accounts.

We have credit loss exposure in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the above financial instruments, but have no other off-balance-sheet credit risk of accounting loss. We anticipate, however, that counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. We do not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but we do monitor the credit standing of counterparties.

Concentrations of credit risk arising from trade accounts receivable are due to selling to customers in a particular industry. Credit risks are mitigated by performing ongoing credit evaluations of our customers'customers’ financial conditions and obtaining collateral, advance payments, or other security when appropriate. No one customer, or group of customers that to our knowledge are under common control, accounted for more than 10% of our revenues for any period presented.

Cash and Other Commitments

Our senior credit facilities are payable in full on December 23, 2018.September 24, 2020. Our term loan is repayable in quarterly installments of 5.0% annually, beginning with our secondin the third fiscal quarter of 2015, with the2016. The remaining balance is repayable in full on December 23, 2018.

Capital expenditures for 20142016 totaled $61.1,$11.7, compared to $55.1$16.0 and $81.8$19.3 in 20132015 and 2012,2014, respectively. Capital expenditures in 20142016 related primarily to upgrades to manufacturing facilities, including replacement of equipment, and upgrades in information technology. We expect 20152017 capital expenditures to approximate $90.0,$14.0 to $18.0, with a significant portion related to upgradesreplacement of manufacturing facilities and information technology. While the impact of continued market volatility cannot be predicted, we believe we have sufficient operating flexibility, cash reserves and funding sources to maintain adequate amounts of liquidity and to meet our future operating cash needs and internal growth opportunities.

In 2014,2016, we made contributions and direct benefit payments of $37.9$20.8 to our defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans, net of subsidies, which included $2.9 of contributions related to businesses that have been classified as discontinued operations.plans. We expect to make $28.7$20.9 of minimum required funding contributions and direct benefit payments in 2015, including $2.0 of contributions that relate to businesses that have been classified as discontinued operations.2017. Our pension plans have not experienced any liquidity difficulties or counterparty defaults due to the volatility in the credit markets. Our pension funds experienced a positive return on assetsearned asset returns of approximately 10.0% in 2014.2016. See Note 109 to our consolidated financial statements for further disclosure of expected future contributions and benefit payments.

On a net basis, both from continuing and discontinued operations, we paid $314.8, $50.3$4.8, $51.0 and $59.3$314.8 of income taxes for 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, respectively. In 2014,2016, we made payments of $324.8$9.1 associated with the actual and estimated tax liability for federal, state and foreign tax obligations and received refunds of $10.0.$4.3. The amount of income taxes that we pay annually is dependent on various factors, including the timing of certain deductions. Deductions and the amount of income taxes can and do vary from year to year.

See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further disclosure of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, amounts considered permanently reinvested, and our intentions with respect to repatriation of earnings.

As of December 31, 2014,2016, except as discussed in Note 14Notes 4 and 13 to our consolidated financial statements and in the contractual obligations table below, we did not have any material guarantees, off-balance sheet arrangements or purchase commitments other than the following: (i) $53.8$36.1 of certain standby letters of credit outstanding, all of which reduce the available borrowing capacity on our domestic revolving credit facility; (ii) $695.3$201.4 of letters of credit outstanding, all of which reduce the available borrowing capacity on our foreign trade facilities; and (iii) $5.7 of letters of credit outstanding under separate arrangements in China and India; and (iv) approximately $150.6$116.9 of surety bonds. In addition, $52.5$35.9 of our standby letters of credit relate to self-insurance or environmental matters.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law for any personal liability in connection with their employment or service with us, subject to limited exceptions. While we maintain insurance for this type of liability, the liability could exceed the amount of the insurance coverage.

We continually review each of our businesses in order to determine their long-term strategic fit. These reviews could result in selected acquisitions to expand an existing business or result in the disposition of an existing business. Additionally, we have stated that we may consider a larger acquisition in the future, with more than $1,000.0 in revenues, if certain criteria are met.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in estimating the effect of inherent uncertainties, are listed below. This section should be read in conjunction with Notes 1 and 2 to our consolidated financial statements, which include a detailed discussion of these and other accounting policies.

Long-Term Contract Accounting

        Certain of our businesses, primarily within the Flow Technology and Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segments, recognize revenues and profits from long-term construction/installation contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The percentage-of-completion method requires estimates of future revenues and costs over the full term of product delivery. We measure the percentage-of-completion principally by the contract costs incurred to date as a percentage of the estimated total costs for that contract at completion. In 2014, 2013 and 2012, we recognized $1,206.4, $1,343.8 and $1,594.7 of revenues under the percentage-of-completion method, respectively.

        We record any provision for estimated losses on uncompleted long-term contracts in the period in which the losses are determined. In the case of customer change orders for uncompleted long-term contracts, we include estimated recoveries for work performed in forecasting ultimate profitability on these contracts. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, will be revised during the duration of a contract. These revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.


        Our estimation process for determining revenues and costs for contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method is based upon (i) our historical experience, (ii) the professional judgment and knowledge of our engineers, project managers, and operations and financial professionals, and (iii) an assessment of the key underlying factors (see below) that impact the revenues and costs of our long-term contracts. Each long-term contract is unique, but typically similar enough to other contracts that we can effectively leverage our experience. As our long-term contracts generally range from nine to eighteen months in duration, we typically reassess the estimated revenues and costs of these contracts on a quarterly basis, but may reassess more often as situations warrant. We record changes in estimates of revenues and costs when identified using the cumulative catch-up method prescribed under the Revenue Recognition Topic of the Codification.

        We believe the underlying factors used to estimate our costs to complete and percentage-of-completion are sufficiently reliable to provide a reasonable estimate of revenue and profit; however, due to the length of time over which revenue streams are generated and costs are incurred, along with the judgment required in developing the underlying factors, the variability of revenue and cost can be significant. Factors that may affect revenue and costs relating to long-term contracts include, but are not limited to, the following:

        Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise when revenues have been recorded but the amounts have not been billed under the terms of the contracts. These amounts are recoverable from customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of the contract.

        We periodically make claims against customers, suppliers and subcontractors associated with alleged non-performance and other disputes over contractual terms. Claims related to long-term contracts are recognized as additional revenues or as a reduction of costs only after we have determined that collection is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. Claims made by us may involve negotiation and, in certain cases, litigation or other dispute-resolution processes. In the event we incur litigation or other dispute-resolution costs in connection with claims, these costs are expensed as incurred, although we may seek to recover these costs. Claims against us are recognized when a loss is considered probable and amounts are reasonably estimable.


Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

        Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are subject to annual impairment testing. We monitor the results of each of our reporting units as a means of identifying trends and/or matters that may impact their financial results and, thus, be an indicator of a potential impairment. The trends and/or matters that we specifically monitor for each of our reporting units are as follows:

        The identification and measurement of goodwill impairment involves the estimation of the fair value of reporting units. We consider a number of factors, including the input of an independent appraisal firm, in conducting the impairment testing of our reporting units. We perform our impairment testing by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of the reported net assets, with such testing occurring during the fourth quarter of each year in conjunction with our annual financial planning process (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise), based primarily on events and circumstances existing as of the end of the third quarter. Fair value is generally based on the income approach using a calculation of discounted cash flows, based on the most recent financial projections for the reporting units. The revenue growth rates included in the financial projections are our best estimates based on current and forecasted market conditions, and the profit margin assumptions are projected by each reporting unit based on current cost structure and, when applicable, anticipated net cost reductions.

        The calculation of fair value for our reporting units incorporates many assumptions including future growth rates, profit margin and discount factors. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions could result in impairment charges in future periods.

        Based on our annual goodwill impairment testing in 2014 and 2013, we determined that the estimated fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded the carrying value of their respective net assets by at least 10% at the end of each year.

        We perform our annual trademarks impairment testing during the fourth quarter, or on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment. The fair values of our trademarks are determined by applying estimated royalty rates to projected revenues, with the resulting cash flows discounted at a rate of return that reflects current market conditions. During 2014, we recorded impairment charges of $11.7 and $8.4 related to the trademarks of certain businesses within our Flow Technology and Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segments, respectively. In addition, during 2014, we recorded an impairment charge of $18.0 related to our Cooling reporting unit's investment in the Shanghai Electric JV. Other changes in the gross values of trademarks and other identifiable intangible assets related primarily to foreign currency translation.

        During 2013, we recorded impairment charges of $6.7 related to the trademarks of certain businesses within our Flow Technology reportable segment.

        In connection with our annual goodwill impairment testing in 2012, our analysis indicated that the estimated fair value of our Cooling reporting unit was below the carrying value of its net assets. As a result, we estimated the implied fair value of Cooling's goodwill, which resulted in an impairment charge related to such goodwill of $270.4. The impairment charge of $270.4 was composed of (i) a $125.8 difference between the estimated fair value of Cooling compared to the carrying value of its net assets and (ii) an allocation to certain tangible and intangible assets of $144.6 for the estimated increases in fair value for these assets solely for purposes of applying the impairment provisions of the Intangible — Goodwill and Other Topic of the Codification.

        In addition to the goodwill impairment charge of $270.4, we recorded an impairment charge of $11.0 in 2012 related to certain long-term assets of our Cooling reporting unit. Lastly, we recorded impairment charges of $4.5 in 2012 related to trademarks for two other businesses within our Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segment.

        See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Employee Benefit Plans

        Defined benefit plans cover a portion of our salaried and hourly paid employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. Additionally, domestic postretirement plans provide health and life insurance benefits for certain retirees and their


dependents. We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial gains and losses into earnings during the fourth quarter of each year, unless earlier remeasurement is required, as a component of net periodic benefit expense. The remaining components of pension/postretirement expense, primarily service and interest costs and expected return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our pension and postretirement benefits.

        Our pension plans have not experienced any significant impact on liquidity or counterparty exposure due to the volatility in the credit markets.

        The costs and obligations associated with these plans are determined based on actuarial valuations. The critical assumptions used in determining these related expenses and obligations are discount rates and healthcare cost projections. These critical assumptions are calculated based on company data and appropriate market indicators, and are evaluated at least annually by us in consultation with outside actuaries. Other assumptions involving demographic factors such as retirement patterns, mortality, turnover and the rate of increase in compensation levels are evaluated periodically and are updated to reflect our experience and expectations for the future. While management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, actual results may differ.

        The discount rate enables us to state expected future cash flows at a present value on the measurement date. This rate is the yield on high-quality fixed income investments at the measurement date. A lower discount rate increases the present value of benefit obligations and increases pension expense. Including the effects of recognizing actuarial gains and losses into earnings as described above, a 50 basis point decrease in the discount rate for our domestic plans would have increased our 2014 pension expense by approximately $45.0, and a 50 basis point increase in the discount rate would have decreased our 2014 pension expense by approximately $42.0.

        The trend in healthcare costs is difficult to estimate, and it can significantly impact our postretirement liabilities and costs. The 2014 healthcare cost trend rate for 2015, which is the weighted-average annual projected rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits, is 6.79%. This rate is assumed to decrease to 5.0% by 2024 and then remain at that level. Including the effects of recognizing actuarial gains and losses into earnings as described above, a 100 basis point increase in the healthcare cost trend rate would have increased our 2014 postretirement expense by approximately $6.9, and a 100 basis point decrease in the healthcare cost trend rate would have decreased our 2014 postretirement expense by approximately $6.1.

        See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information on our pension and postretirement benefit plans.

Income Taxes

        We record our income taxes based on the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification, which includes an estimate of the amount of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns.

        Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We periodically assess the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, including the results of local, state, federal or foreign statutory tax audits or estimates and judgments used.

        Realization of deferred tax assets involves estimates regarding (1) the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, (2) expected future taxable income, and (3) the impact of tax planning strategies. We believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the benefit of certain deferred tax assets and, accordingly, have established a valuation allowance against them. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, projections of future taxable income and the feasibility of and potential changes to ongoing tax planning strategies. The projections of future taxable income include a number of estimates and assumptions regarding our volume, pricing and costs. Although realization is not assured for the remaining deferred tax assets, we believe it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable earnings or alternative tax strategies. However, deferred tax assets could be reduced in the near term if our estimates of taxable income are significantly reduced or tax strategies are no longer viable.

        The amount of income tax that we pay annually is dependent on various factors, including the timing of certain deductions and ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which may result in proposed adjustments. We perform reviews of our income tax positions on a quarterly basis and accrue for potential uncertain tax positions. Accruals for these uncertain tax positions are recorded based on an expectation as to the timing of when the matter will be resolved. As events change or


resolutions occur, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities. We believe we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related to these matters.

        Our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities due to closure of income tax examinations, statute expirations, new regulatory or judicial pronouncements, changes in tax laws, changes in projected levels of taxable income, future tax planning strategies, or other relevant events. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding our uncertain tax positions.

Contingent Liabilities

Numerous claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business including those relatinghave been asserted or are pending against us or certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, “claims”). These claims relate to litigation matters (e.g., class actions, derivative lawsuits and contracts, intellectual property and competitive claims), environmental matters, product liability matters (predominately associated with alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials), and other risk management matters (e.g., product and general liability, automobile, and workers'workers’ compensation claims), have been filed or are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries.. Additionally, we may become subject to significantother claims of which we are currently unaware, which may be significant, or the claims of which we are aware may result in usour incurring a significantly greater liabilityloss than we anticipate. This may also be true in connection with past or future acquisitions. While we (and our subsidiaries) maintain property, cargo, auto, product, general liability, environmental, and directors'directors’ and officers'officers’ liability insurance and have acquired rights under similar policies in connection with acquisitions that we believe cover a significant portion of these claims, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., becausein the case of insurer insolvency) to protect us against potential loss exposures. Also, while we believe we are entitled to indemnification from third parties for some of these claims, these rights may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against potential loss exposures. We believe, however, that our accruals
Our recorded liabilities related to these itemsmatters totaled $653.5 (including $605.6 for asbestos product liability matters) and $590.4 (including $534.4 for asbestos product liability matters) at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The liabilities we record for these claims are sufficientbased on a number of assumptions, including historical claims and payment experience and, with respect to asbestos claims, actuarial estimates of the future period during which additional claims are reasonably foreseeable. While we base our assumptions on facts currently known to us, they entail inherently subjective judgments and uncertainties. As a result, our current assumptions for estimating these liabilities may not prove accurate, and we may be required to adjust these liabilities in the future, which could result in charges to earnings. These variances relative to current expectations could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
We have recorded insurance recovery assets associated with the asbestos product liability matters, with such amounts totaling $564.4 and $493.3 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These assets represent amounts that we believe we are or will be entitled to recover under agreements we have with insurance companies. The assets we record for these itemsinsurance recoveries are based on a number of assumptions, including the continued solvency of the insurers, and are subject to a variety of uncertainties. Our current assumptions for estimating these assets may not prove accurate, and we may be required to adjust these assets in the future, which could result in additional charges to earnings. These variances relative to current expectations could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.


Large Power Projects in South Africa
The business environment surrounding our large power projects in South Africa remains difficult, as we have experienced delays, cost over-runs, and various other challenges associated with a complex set of contractual relationships among the end customer, prime contractors, various subcontractors (including us and our rightssubcontractors), and various suppliers. We currently are involved in a number of claim disputes relating to available insurancethese challenges. We are pursuing various commercial alternatives for addressing these challenges, in attempt to mitigate our overall financial exposure. During the third quarter of 2015, we gained considerable insight into the path forward for completing these projects, including our remaining scope, the estimated costs for completing such scope, and indemnity will be resolved withoutour expected recoverability of costs from the prime contractors and our subcontractors. In response to this new information, we revised our estimates of revenues, costs and profits associated with the projects. These revisions resulted in an increase in our “Loss from continuing operations before income taxes” for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $95.0, which is comprised of a reduction in revenue of $57.2 and an increase in cost of products sold of $37.8. In addition, these revisions resulted in an increase in our “Net loss” for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $71.2 and an increase in our “Loss per share of common stock” of $1.75 for the same period.
We recognize revenue associated with unapproved change orders and claims to the extent the related costs have been incurred and the amount expected of recovery is probable and reasonably estimable. At December 31, 2016, the projected revenues related to our large power projects in South Africa included approximately $26.0 related to claims and unapproved change orders. We believe these amounts are recoverable under the provisions of the related contracts and reflect our best estimate of recoverable amounts.
Although we believe that our current estimates of revenues, costs and profits relating to these projects are reasonable, it is possible that future revisions of such estimates could have a material effect individually oron our consolidated financial statements.
Noncontrolling Interest in South African Subsidiary
Our South African subsidiary, DBT Technologies (PTY) LTD (“DBT”), has a Black Economic Empowerment shareholder (the “BEE Partner”) that holds a 25.1% noncontrolling interest in DBT. Under the terms of the shareholder agreement between the BEE Partner and SPX Technologies (PTY) LTD (“SPX Technologies”), the BEE Partner had the option to put its ownership interest in DBT to SPX Technologies, the majority shareholder of DBT, at a redemption amount determined in accordance with the terms of the shareholder agreement (the “Put Option”). The BEE Partner notified SPX Technologies of its intention to exercise the Put Option and, on July 6, 2016, an Arbitration Tribunal declared that the BEE Partner was entitled to South African Rand 287.3 in connection with the exercise of the Put Option, having not considered an amount due from the BEE Partner under a promissory note of South African Rand 30.3 held by SPX Technologies. As a result, we have reflected the net redemption amount of South African Rand 257.0 (or $18.5) within “Accrued expenses” on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, with the related offset recorded to “Paid-in-capital” and “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” In addition, we reclassified $38.7 from “Noncontrolling Interests” to “Paid-in capital.” Lastly, under the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, we have reflected an adjustment of $18.1 to “Net income (loss) attributable to SPX Corporation common shareholders” for the excess redemption amount of the Put Option (i.e., the increase in the aggregate,redemption amount during the year ended December 31, 2016 in excess of fair value) in our calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2016.
SPX Technologies disagrees with the arbitration determination and will continue to pursue all available legal recourse in this matter.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2016, in connection with our accounting for the redemption of the BEE Partner’s ownership interest in DBT, we discontinued allocating earnings/losses of DBT to the BEE Partner within our consolidated financial statements.
Patent Infringement Lawsuit
Our subsidiary, SPX Cooling Technologies, Inc. (“SPXCT”), is a defendant in a legal action brought by Baltimore Aircoil Company (“BAC”) alleging that a SPXCT product infringes United States Patent No. 7,107,782, entitled “Evaporative Heat Exchanger and Method.” BAC filed suit on July 16, 2013 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the “District Court”) seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief.


On November 4, 2016, the jury for the trial in the District Court found in favor of SPXCT. The verdict by the District Court is subject to further judicial processes, including a possible appeal by BAC. We believe that we will ultimately be successful in any future judicial processes; however, to the extent we are not successful, the outcome could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. These accruals, which are determined in accordance with the Contingencies Topic of the Codification, totaled $619.6 (including $575.4 for risk management matters) and $610.1 (including $565.0 for risk management matters) at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. It is reasonably possible that our ultimate liability for these items could exceed the amount of the recorded accruals; however, we believe the estimated amount of any potential additional liability would not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        We had insurance recovery assets related to risk management matters of $503.7 and $496.7 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, included in "Other assets" within our consolidated balance sheets.

Environmental Matters
We believe that we are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental requirements. We are currently involved in various investigatory and remedial actions at our facilities and at third-party waste disposal sites. It is our policy to accrue for estimated losses from legal actions or claims when events exist that make the realization of the losses or expenses probable and they can be reasonably estimated. Our environmental accruals cover anticipated costs, including investigation, remediation, and operation and maintenance of clean-up sites. Accordingly, our estimates may change based on future developments, including new or changes in existing environmental laws or policies, differences in costs required to complete anticipated actions from estimates provided, future findings of investigation or remediation actions, or alteration to the expected remediation plans. We expense costs incurred to investigate and remediate environmental issues unless they extend the economic useful lives of related assets. We record liabilities when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Our estimates are based primarily on investigations and remediation plans established by independent consultants, regulatory agencies and potentially responsible third parties. It is our policy to realize a change in estimates once it becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. In determining our accruals, we generally do not discount environmental accruals and do not discount other legal accruals and do not reduce them by anticipated insurance, litigation and other recoveries. We take into account third-party indemnification from financially viable parties in determining our accruals where there is no dispute regarding the right to indemnification.

Self-Insured Risk Management Matters
We are self-insured for certain of our workers'workers’ compensation, automobile, product and general liability, disability and health costs, and we believe that we maintain adequate accruals to cover our retained liability. Our accruals for self-insurance liabilities are determined by us, are based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported, and generally are not discounted. We consider a number of factors, including third-party actuarial valuations, when making these determinations. We maintain third-party stop-loss insurance policies to cover certain liability costs in excess of predetermined retained amounts; however, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., because of insurer insolvency) to protect us against potential loss exposures. The key assumptions considered in estimating the ultimate cost to settle reported claims and the estimated costs associated with incurred but not yet reported claims include, among other things, our historical and industry claims experience, trends in health care and administrative costs, our current and future risk management programs, and historical lag studies with regard to the timing between when a claim is incurred versus when it is reported.

Long-Term Contract Accounting
Certain of our businesses, primarily within the Engineered Solutions reportable segment, recognize revenues and profits from long-term construction/installation contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The percentage-of-completion method requires estimates of future revenues and costs over the full term of product delivery. We measure the percentage-of-completion principally by the contract costs incurred to date as a percentage of the estimated total costs for that contract at completion. In 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recognized $336.1, $361.8 and $434.1 of revenues under the percentage-of-completion method, respectively.
We record any provision for estimated losses on uncompleted long-term contracts in the period in which the losses are determined. In the case of customer change orders for uncompleted long-term contracts, we include estimated recoveries for work performed in forecasting ultimate profitability on these contracts. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, will be revised during the duration of a contract. These revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Our estimation process for determining revenues and costs for contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method is based upon (i) our historical experience, (ii) the professional judgment and knowledge of our engineers, project managers, and operations and financial professionals, and (iii) an assessment of the key underlying factors (see below) that impact the revenues and costs of our long-term contracts. Each long-term contract is unique, but typically similar enough to other contracts that we can effectively leverage our experience. As our long-term contracts generally range from nine to eighteen months in duration, we typically reassess the estimated revenues and costs of these contracts on a quarterly basis, but may reassess more often as situations warrant. We record changes in estimates


of revenues and costs when identified using the cumulative catch-up method prescribed under the Revenue Recognition Topic of the Codification.
We believe the underlying factors used to estimate our costs to complete and percentage-of-completion are sufficiently reliable to provide a reasonable estimate of revenue and profit; however, due to the length of time over which revenues are generated and costs are incurred, along with the judgment required in developing the underlying factors, the variability of revenue and cost can be significant. Factors that may affect revenue and costs relating to long-term contracts include, but are not limited to, the following:
Sales Price Incentives and Sales Price Escalation Clauses — Sales price incentives and sales price escalations that are reasonably assured and reasonably estimable are recorded over the performance period of the contract. Otherwise, these amounts are recorded when awarded.
Cost Recovery for Product Design Changes and Claims — On occasion, design specifications may change during the course of the contract. Any additional costs arising from these changes may be supported by change orders, or we may submit a claim to the customer. Change orders are accounted for as described above. See below for our accounting policies related to claims.
Material Availability and Costs — Our estimates of material costs generally are based on existing supplier relationships, adequate availability of materials, prevailing market prices for materials, and, in some cases, long-term supplier contracts. Changes in our supplier relationships, delays in obtaining materials, or changes in material prices can have a significant impact on our cost and profitability estimates.
Use of Subcontractors — Our arrangements with subcontractors are generally based on fixed prices; however, our estimates of the cost and profitability can be impacted by subcontractor delays, customer claims arising from subcontractor performance issues, or a subcontractor’s inability to fulfill its obligations.
Labor Costs and Anticipated Productivity Levels — Where applicable, we include the impact of labor improvements in our estimation of costs, such as in cases where we expect a favorable learning curve over the duration of the contract. In these cases, if the improvements do not materialize, costs and profitability could be adversely impacted. Additionally, to the extent we are more or less productive than originally anticipated, estimated costs and profitability may also be impacted.
Effect of Foreign Currency Fluctuations — Fluctuations between currencies in which our long-term contracts are denominated and the currencies under which contract costs are incurred can have an impact on profitability. When the impact on profitability is potentially significant, we may enter into FX forward contracts or prepay certain vendors for raw materials to manage the potential exposure. See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details on our FX forward contracts.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise when revenues have been recorded but the amounts have not been billed under the terms of the contracts. These amounts are billed to customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of the contract.
We periodically make claims against customers, suppliers and subcontractors associated with alleged non-performance and other disputes over contractual terms. Claims related to long-term contracts are recognized as additional revenues or as a reduction of costs only after we have determined that collection is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. Claims made by us may involve negotiation and, in certain cases, litigation or other dispute-resolution processes. In the event we incur litigation or other dispute-resolution costs in connection with claims, these costs are expensed as incurred, although we may seek to recover these costs. Claims against us are recognized when a loss is considered probable and amounts are reasonably estimable.
Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are subject to annual impairment testing. We monitor the results of each of our reporting units as a means of identifying trends and/or matters that may impact their financial results and, thus, be an indicator of a potential impairment. The trends and/or matters that we specifically monitor for each of our reporting units are as follows:
Significant variances in financial performance (e.g., revenues, earnings and cash flows) in relation to expectations and historical performance;
Significant changes in end markets or other economic factors;


Significant changes or planned changes in our use of a reporting unit’s assets; and
Significant changes in customer relationships and competitive conditions.
The identification and measurement of goodwill impairment involves the estimation of the fair value of reporting units. We perform our impairment testing by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of the reported net assets, with such testing occurring during the fourth quarter of each year in conjunction with our annual financial planning process (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise), based primarily on events and circumstances existing as of the end of the third quarter. Fair value is generally based on the income approach using a calculation of discounted cash flows, based on the most recent financial projections for the reporting units. The revenue growth rates included in the financial projections are our best estimates based on current and forecasted market conditions, and the profit margin assumptions are projected by each reporting unit based on current cost structure and, when applicable, anticipated net cost reductions.
The calculation of fair value for our reporting units incorporates many assumptions including future growth rates, profit margin and discount factors. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions could result in impairment charges in future periods.
Based on our annual goodwill impairment testing in 2016, we determined that the estimated fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded the carrying value of their respective net assets by at least 30.0%.
We perform our annual trademarks impairment testing during the fourth quarter, or on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment. The fair values of our trademarks are determined by applying estimated royalty rates to projected revenues, with the resulting cash flows discounted at a rate of return that reflects current market conditions. The basis for these projected revenues is the annual operating plan for each of the related businesses, which is prepared in the fourth quarter of each year.
See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Employee Benefit Plans
Defined benefit plans cover a portion of our salaried and hourly paid employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. Additionally, domestic postretirement plans provide health and life insurance benefits for certain retirees and their dependents. We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial gains and losses into earnings during the fourth quarter of each year, unless earlier remeasurement is required, as a component of net periodic benefit expense. The remaining components of pension/postretirement expense, primarily service and interest costs and expected return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis.
Our pension plans have not experienced any significant impact on liquidity or counterparty exposure due to the volatility in the credit markets.
The costs and obligations associated with these plans are determined based on actuarial valuations. The critical assumptions used in determining these related expenses and obligations are discount rates and healthcare cost projections. These critical assumptions are calculated based on company data and appropriate market indicators, and are evaluated at least annually by us in consultation with outside actuaries. Other assumptions involving demographic factors such as retirement patterns, mortality, turnover and the rate of increase in compensation levels are evaluated periodically and are updated to reflect our experience and expectations for the future. While management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, actual results may differ.
The discount rate enables us to state expected future cash flows at a present value on the measurement date. This rate is the yield on high-quality fixed income investments at the measurement date. A lower discount rate increases the present value of benefit obligations and increases pension expense. Including the effects of recognizing actuarial gains and losses into earnings as described above, a 50 basis point decrease in the discount rate for our domestic plans would have increased our 2016 pension expense by approximately $17.3, and a 50 basis point increase in the discount rate would have decreased our 2016 pension expense by approximately $15.8.
The trend in healthcare costs is difficult to estimate, and it can significantly impact our postretirement liabilities and costs. The healthcare cost trend rate for 2017, which is the weighted-average annual projected rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits, is 7.50%. This rate is assumed to decrease to 5.0% by 2027 and then remain at that level. Including the effects of recognizing actuarial gains and losses into earnings as described above, a 100 basis point increase in the healthcare cost trend rate would have increased our 2016 postretirement expense by approximately $5.5, and a 100 basis point decrease in the healthcare cost trend rate would have decreased our 2016 postretirement expense by approximately $4.9.


See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for further information on our pension and postretirement benefit plans.
Income Taxes
We record our income taxes based on the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification, which includes an estimate of the amount of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We periodically assess the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, including the results of local, state, federal or foreign statutory tax audits or estimates and judgments used.
Realization of deferred tax assets involves estimates regarding (i) the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, (ii) expected future taxable income, and (iii) the impact of tax planning strategies. We believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the benefit of certain deferred tax assets and, accordingly, have established a valuation allowance against them. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, projections of future taxable income and the feasibility of and potential changes to ongoing tax planning strategies. The projections of future taxable income include a number of estimates and assumptions regarding our volume, pricing and costs. Although realization is not assured for the remaining deferred tax assets, we believe it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable earnings or alternative tax strategies. However, deferred tax assets could be reduced in the near term if our estimates of taxable income are significantly reduced or tax strategies are no longer viable.
The amount of income tax that we pay annually is dependent on various factors, including the timing of certain deductions and ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which may result in proposed adjustments. We perform reviews of our income tax positions on a quarterly basis and accrue for potential uncertain tax positions. Accruals for these uncertain tax positions are recorded based on an expectation as to the timing of when the matter will be resolved. As events change or resolutions occur, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities. We believe we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related to these matters.
Our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities due to closure of income tax examinations, statute expirations, new regulatory or judicial pronouncements, changes in tax laws, changes in projected levels of taxable income, future tax planning strategies, or other relevant events. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding our uncertain tax positions.
Parent Guarantees and Bonds Associated with Balcke Dürr
As previously discussed, in connection with the sale of Balcke Dürr, we remain contingently obligated under existing parent company guarantees of approximately €79.0 and bank and surety bonds of €79.0. We have accounted for our contingent obligation in accordance with the Guarantees Topic of the Codification, which required that we record a liability for the estimated fair value of the parent company guarantees and the bonds in connection with the accounting for the sale of Balcke Dürr. We estimated the fair value of the parent company guarantees and bank and surety bonds considering the probability of default by Balcke Dürr and an estimate of the amount we would be obligated to pay in the event of a default (unobservable inputs - Level 3). In addition, under the related purchase agreement, Balcke Dürr provided cash collateral and mutares AG provided a partial guarantee in the event any of the parent company guarantees or bonds are called. We recorded an asset for the estimated fair value of the cash collateral provided by Balcke Dürr and the partial guarantee provided by mutares AG, with the estimated fair values based on the terms and conditions and relative risk associated with each of these securities. In future periods, we will amortize the liability and asset to “Income (loss) from continuing operations,” with the amortization of the liability generally to occur at the earlier of the completion of the related underlying project milestones or the expiration of the guarantees or bonds, and the amortization of the asset to occur based on the expiration terms of each of the securities. We will continue to evaluate the adequacy of the recorded liability and will record an adjustment to the liability if we conclude that it is probable that we will be required to fund an amount greater than what is recorded. See Notes 4 and 15 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

(All currency amounts are in millions)

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity raw material prices, and we selectively use financial instruments to manage these risks. We do not enter into financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes; however, these instruments may be deemed speculative if the future cash flows originally hedged are no longer probable of occurring as anticipated. Our currency exposures vary, but are primarily concentrated in the Euro, Chinese Yuan, South African Rand and GBP. We generally do not hedge currency translation exposures. Our exposures for commodity raw materials vary, with the highest concentration relating to steel, copper and oil. See Note 1312 to our consolidated financial statements for further details.

The following table provides information, as of December 31, 2014,2016, about our primary outstanding debt obligations and presents principal cash flows by expected maturity dates, weighted-average interest rates and fair values.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the ShareholdersStockholders and Board of Directors of SPX Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheetsconsolidated balance sheets of SPX Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"“Company”) as of December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, and the related Consolidated Statementsconsolidated statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income, Equity,operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and Cash Flowscash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014.2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'sCompany’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the consolidated financial statements of EGS Electrical Group, LLC and subsidiaries ("EGS") for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company's investment accounted for by use of the equity method (see Note 9 to the Company's consolidated financial statements). The Company's equity in income of EGS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $41.9 million and $39.0 million, respectively. The consolidated financial statements of EGS were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for EGS, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
2016
(All currency and share amounts are in millions, except per share and par value data)

(1)    Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described below, as well as in other Notes that follow.

Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these Notes pertain to continuing operations only (see Note 4 for information on discontinued operations).

BasisPrinciples of PresentationConsolidation — The consolidated financial statements include SPX Corporation's ("SPX"Corporation’s (“SPX”, "our"“our”, or "we"“we”) accounts prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"(“GAAP”) after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Investments in unconsolidated companies where we exercise significant influence but do not have control are accounted for using the equity method. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"(“VIE”), we perform a qualitative analysis that considers the design of the VIE, the nature of our involvement and the variable interests held by other parties to determine which party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity'sentity’s economic performance, and which party has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We have interestsan interest in VIEs, primarily joint ventures,a VIE, in which we are not the primary beneficiary, as a result of the sale of Balcke Dürr. See below and others in which we are not. OurNotes 2, 4 and 15 for further discussion of the Balcke Dürr sale. All other VIEs are considered immaterial, individually and in aggregate, to our consolidated financial statements.

        We have reclassified

Spin-Off of FLOW Business—On September 26, 2015 (the “Distribution Date”), we completed the spin-off to our stockholders (the “Spin-Off”) of all the outstanding shares of SPX FLOW, Inc. (“SPX FLOW”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPX prior to the Spin-Off, which at the time of the Spin-Off held the businesses comprising our Flow Technology reportable segment, our Hydraulic Technologies business, and certain prior period amounts, includingof our corporate subsidiaries (collectively, the “FLOW Business”). On the Distribution Date, each of our stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 16, 2015 (the “Record Date”) received one share of common stock of SPX FLOW for every share of SPX common stock held as of the Record Date. SPX FLOW is now an independent public company trading under the symbol “FLOW” on the New York Stock Exchange. Following the Spin-Off, SPX’s common stock continues to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trades under the ticker symbol, “SPXC”. The financial results of SPX FLOW for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 have been classified as discontinued operations to conformwithin the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Shift Away from the Power Generation Markets — Prior to the current period presentation. Unless otherwiseSpin-Off, our businesses serving the power generation markets had a major impact on the consolidated financial results of SPX. In recent years, these businesses have experienced significant declines in revenues and profitability associated with weak demand and increased competition within the global power generation markets. Based on a review of our post-spin portfolio and the belief that a recovery within the power generation markets was unlikely in the foreseeable future, we decided that our strategic focus would be on our (i) scalable growth businesses that serve the heating and ventilation (“HVAC”) and detection and measurement markets and (ii) power transformer and process cooling systems businesses. As a result, we have been reducing our exposure to the power generation markets as indicated amounts provided in these Notes pertainby the disposals summarized below.
On November 20, 2015, we entered into an agreement to continuing operations only (seesell our dry cooling business, a business that provides dry cooling products to the global power generation markets. On March 30, 2016, we completed the sale of the dry cooling business. See Note 4 for additional details on the sale of the dry cooling business.
Balcke Dürr, a business that provides heat exchangers and other related components primarily to the European and Asian power generation markets, historically has been the most significant of our power generation businesses. Weak demand within the European power generation markets has resulted in continuing declines in the business’s revenues and profitability. For example, revenue from 2014 to 2015 declined 37.9%, and during 2015 the business incurred a net loss of $39.6. In response to these financial trends and results, we performed an in-depth strategic review of the business during the first half of 2016. Based on such review, we concluded that a sale of Balcke Dürr would be our best strategic option for the business. Thus, towards the end of the second quarter of 2016, we initiated efforts to sell Balcke Dürr. As these efforts progressed during the third quarter of 2016, only a limited number of parties expressed interest in acquiring the business. As a result, the business did not meet the “held for sale” criteria as of the end of the third quarter of 2016. In November 2016, we began negotiations for the sale of Balcke Dürr and completed the sale on December 30, 2016 to a subsidiary of matures AG (the “Buyer”), which allowed Balcke Dürr to meet the “held for sale” criteria as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2016.


With the sale, we have eliminated the losses and liquidity needs of Balcke Dürr that were expected to be significant for the foreseeable future and, thus, have also significantly reduced our exposure to the power generation markets. As we consider the disposition of Balcke Dürr to be the cornerstone of our strategic shift away from the power generation markets, and given the fact that the disposition of Balcke Dürr will have a major effect on our operations and financial results, we have classified the business as a discontinued operation within the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. See Note 4 for additional details on the sale of Balcke Dürr and its historical financial results.
Change to the Name of Our Power Reportable Segment — In recognition of our shift away from the power generation markets, we changed the name of our “Power” reportable segment to “Engineered Solutions,” effective in the fourth quarter of 2016. We believe the new name better reflects the current industries and customers served by the segment. Other than the sales of the previously mentioned businesses, there were no additional changes to the segment’s composition. The information on discontinued operations).

for this segment for all periods included in these consolidated financial statements has been labeled using the new name.

Retirement of Treasury Stock —In 2016, we retired 50.0 shares or $2,948.1, of “Common stock in treasury.” Under the applicable state law, these shares represent authorized and unissued shares upon retirement. In accordance with our accounting policy, we allocate any excess of share repurchase over par value between “Paid-in capital” and “Retained earnings,” resulting in respective reductions of $1,285.4 and $1,662.2.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions — The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with the Foreign Currency Matters Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification ("Codification"(“Codification” or "ASC"“ASC”). Balance sheet accounts are translated at the current rate at the end of each period and income statement accounts are translated at the average rate for each period. Gains and losses on foreign currency translations are reflected as a separate component of shareholders'shareholders’ equity and other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses, as well as gains and losses related to foreign currency forward contracts and currency forward embedded derivatives, are included in "Other“Other income (expense), net,"” with the related net losses totaling $7.1, $15.6$2.4, $8.6 and $12.4$2.6 in 2016, 2015 and 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Cash Equivalents — We consider highly liquid money market investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition — We recognize revenues from product sales upon shipment to the customer (e.g., FOB shipping point) or upon receipt by the customer (e.g., FOB destination), in accordance with the agreed upon customer terms. Revenues from service contracts and long-term maintenance arrangements are recognized on a straight-line basis over the agreement period. Sales with FOB destination terms are primarily to power transformer industry customers. Sales to distributors with return rights are recognized upon shipment to the distributor with expected returns estimated and accrued at the time of sale. The accrual considers restocking charges for returns and in some cases the distributor must issue a replacement order before the return is authorized. Actual return experience may vary from our estimates. We recognize revenues separately for arrangements with multiple deliverables that meet the criteria for separate units of accounting as defined by the Revenue Recognition Topic of the Codification. The deliverables under these arrangements typically include hardware and software components, installation, maintenance, extended warranties and software upgrades. Amounts allocated to each element are based on its objectively determined fair value, such as the sales price of the product or service when it is sold separately, competitor prices for similar products or our best estimate. The hardware and software components are usually recognized as revenue contemporaneously, as both are required for essential functionality of the products, with the installation being recognized upon completion. Revenues related to maintenance, extended warranties and software upgrades are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the coverage period.

We offer sales incentive programs primarily to effect volume rebates and promotional and advertising allowances. These programs are only significant to one of our business units. The liability for these programs, and the resulting reduction to reported revenues, is determined primarily through trend analysis, historical experience and expectations regarding customer participation.

Amounts billed for shipping and handling are included in revenues. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are recorded in cost of products sold. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in our consolidated statements of operations.



Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
(All currency and share amounts are in millions, except per share and par value data)

In addition, certain of our businesses, primarily within the Flow Technology and Thermal Equipment and ServicesEngineered Solutions reportable segments,segment, also recognize revenues from long-term construction/installation contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date for each



contract to the estimated total costs for such contract at completion. We recognize revenues for similar short-term contracts using the completed-contract method of accounting.

Provisions for any estimated losses on uncompleted long-term contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. In the case of customer change orders for uncompleted long-term contracts, estimated recoveries are included for work performed in forecasting ultimate profitability on certain contracts. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may be revised in the near-term. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings arise when revenues have been recorded but the amounts have not been billed under the terms of the contracts. These amounts are recoverable from customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of the contract. Claims related to long-term contracts are recognized as revenue only after we have determined that collection is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. Claims made by us involve negotiation and, in certain cases, litigation or other dispute-resolution processes. In the event we incur litigation or other dispute-resolution costs in connection with claims, such costs are expensed as incurred, although we may seek to recover these costs. Claims against us are recognized when a loss is considered probable and amounts are reasonably estimable.

We recognized $1,206.4, $1,343.8$336.1, $361.8 and $1,594.7$434.1 in revenues under the percentage-of-completion method for the years ended December 31, 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, respectively.

Research and Development Costs — We expense research and development costs as incurred. We charge costs incurred in the research and development of new software included in products to expense until technological feasibility is established. After technological feasibility is established, additional eligible costs are capitalized until the product is available for general

release. We amortize these costs over the economic lives of the related products and include the amortization in cost of products sold. We perform periodic reviews of the recoverability of these capitalized software costs. At the time we determine that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, we write off any unrecoverable capitalized amounts. Capitalized software, net of amortization, totaled $10.5 and $9.9 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Capitalized software amortization expense totaled $1.2, $0.2 and $0.5 for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We expensed research activities relating to the development and improvement of our products of $51.1, $47.3$29.1, $28.6 and $49.0$30.2 in 2016, 2015 and 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment ("(“PP&E"&E”) is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. We use the straight-line method for computing depreciation expense over the useful lives of PP&E, which do not exceed 40 years for buildings and range from 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Depreciation expense,


including amortization of capital leases, was $77.4, $82.1$22.5, $31.8 and $73.7$34.9 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, respectively. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the related asset or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter. Interest is capitalized on significant construction or installation projects. Interest capitalized during 2012 totaled $0.5. No interest was capitalized during 20142016, 2015 or 2013.

2014.

Pension and Postretirement — We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial gains and losses in earnings during the fourth quarter of each year, unless earlier remeasurement is required, as a component of net periodic benefit expense and, accordingly, recognize the effects of plan investment performance, interest rate changes, and changes in actuarial assumptions as a component of earnings in the year in which they occur. The remaining components of pension/postretirement expense, primarily service and interest costs and expected return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis.

Income Taxes — We account for our income taxes based on the requirements of the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification, which includes an estimate of the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We periodically assess the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, including the results of local, state, federal or foreign statutory tax audits or estimates and judgments used.

Derivative Financial Instruments — We use foreign currency forward contracts ("FX forward contracts") to manage our exposures to fluctuating currency exchange rates, and forward contracts to manage the exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials ("(“commodity contracts"contracts”). We have used and interest rate protection agreements ("Swaps") to manage our exposures to fluctuating interest rate risk on variable rate debt. Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. For derivatives designated as hedges of the fair value of assets or liabilities, the changes in fair values of both the derivatives and the hedged items are recorded in current earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of the derivatives is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"(“AOCI”) and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged items impact earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges, and the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges, are recorded in current earnings. We do not enter into financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

For those transactions that are designated as cash flow hedges, on the date the derivative contract is entered into, we document our hedge relationship, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. We also assess, both at inception and quarterly thereafter, whether such derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged item. See Notes 1312 and 1614 for further information.

Cash flows from hedging activities are included in the same category as the items being hedged, which isare primarily operating activities.

(2)    Use of Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues (e.g., our percentage-of-completion estimates described above) and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and base our estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions,



Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
(All currency and share amounts are in millions, except per share and par value data)

third-party evaluations and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Listed below are certain significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Certain other estimates and assumptions are further explained in the related notes.

Accounts Receivable Allowances — We provide allowances for estimated losses on uncollectible accounts based on our historical experience and the evaluation of the likelihood of success in collecting specific customer receivables. In addition, we maintain allowances for customer returns, discounts and invoice pricing discrepancies, with such allowances primarily based on historical experience. Summarized below is the activity for these allowance accounts.

Inventory — We estimate losses for excess and/or obsolete inventory and the net realizable value of inventory based on the aging and historical utilization of the inventory and the evaluation of the likelihood of recovering the inventory costs based on anticipated demand and selling price.

Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization — We continually review whether events and circumstances subsequent to the acquisition of any long-lived assets, or intangible assets subject to amortization, have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of those assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of those assets may not be fully recoverable. If events and circumstances indicate that the long-lived assets should be reviewed for possible impairment, we use projections to assess whether future cash flows on an undiscounted basis related to the assets are likely to exceed the related carrying amount. We will record an impairment charge to the extent that the carrying value of the assets exceed their fair values as determined by valuation techniques appropriate in the circumstances, which could include the use of similar projections on a discounted basis.

In determining the estimated useful lives of definite-lived intangibles, we consider the nature, competitive position, life cycle position, and historical and expected future operating cash flows of each acquired asset, as well as our commitment to support these assets through continued investment and legal infringement protection.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets — We test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and continually assess whether a triggering event has occurred to determine whether the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value. The fair value of reporting units is based generally on discounted projected cash flows, but we also consider factors such as comparable industry price multiples. We employ cash flow projections that we believe to be reasonable under current and forecasted circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of the reported net assets of our reporting units. Many of our businesses closely follow changes in the industries and end markets that they serve. Accordingly, we consider estimates and judgments that affect the future cash flow projections, including principal methods of competition, such as volume, price, service, product performance and technical innovations, as well as estimates associated with cost reduction initiatives, capacity utilization and assumptions for inflation and foreign currency changes. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See Note 8 for further information, including discussion of impairment charges recorded in 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Legal — It is our policy to accrue for estimated losses from legal actions or claims when events exist that make the realization of the losses probable and they can be reasonably estimated. We do not discount legal obligations or reduce them by anticipated insurance recoveries.

Environmental Remediation Costs — We expense costs incurred to investigate and remediate environmental issues unless they extend the economic useful lives of related assets. We record liabilities when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Our environmental accruals cover anticipated costs, including investigation, remediation and operation and maintenance of clean-up sites. Our estimates are based primarily on investigations and remediation plans established by independent consultants, regulatory agencies and potentially responsible third parties. We generally do not discount environmental obligations or reduce them by anticipated insurance recoveries.

Self-InsuranceRisk Management Matters — We are subject to claims associated with risk management matters (e.g., product liability, predominately associated with alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials, general liability, automobile, and workers’ compensation claims). The liabilities we record for these claims are based on a number of assumptions, including historical claims and payment experience and, with respect to asbestos claims, actuarial estimates of the future period during which additional claims are reasonably foreseeable. We also have recorded insurance recovery assets associated with the asbestos product liability matters. These assets represent amounts that we believe we are or will be entitled to recover under agreements we have with insurance companies. The assets we record for these insurance recoveries are based on a number of assumptions, including the continued solvency of the insurers, and are subject to a variety of uncertainties. In addition, we are self-insured for certain of our workers'workers’ compensation, automobile, product, general liability, disability and health costs, and we maintain adequate accruals to cover our retained liabilities. Our accruals for self-insurance liabilities are based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported, and generally are not discounted. We consider a number of factors, including third-party actuarial valuations, when making these determinations. We maintain third-party stop-loss insurance policies to cover certain liability costs in excess of predetermined retained amounts; however, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., because of insurer insolvency) to protect us against potential loss exposures. The key assumptions considered in estimating the ultimate cost to settle reported claims and the estimated costs associated with incurred but not yet reported claims include, among other things,factors, our historical and industry claims experience, trends in health care and administrative costs, our current and future risk management programs, and historical lag studies with regard to the timing between when a claim is incurred and reported. See Note 13 for additional details.

Warranty — In the normal course of business, we issue product warranties for specific products and provide for the estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recorded. We provide for the estimate of warranty cost based on contract terms and historical warranty loss experience that is periodically adjusted for recent actual experience. Because warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, claims costs may differ from amounts provided. In addition, due to the seasonal fluctuations at certain of our businesses, the timing of warranty provisions and the usage of warranty accruals can vary period to period. We make adjustments to initial obligations for warranties as changes in

        Income Taxes — We perform reviews of our income tax positions on a continuous basis and accrue for potential uncertain tax positions in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. Accruals for these uncertain tax positions are classified as "Income“Income taxes payable"payable” and "Deferred“Deferred and other income taxes"taxes” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets based on an expectation as to the timing of when the matter will be resolved. As events



change or resolutions occur, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities. For tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we record the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority, assuming such authority has full knowledge of all relevant information. These reviews also entail analyzing the realization of deferred tax assets. When we believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize a benefit for a deferred tax asset based on all available evidence, we establish a valuation allowance against it.

allowance.

        Employee Benefit Plans — Defined benefit plans cover a portion of our salaried and hourly employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. As discussed in Note 1, we recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial gains and losses associated with our pension and postretirement benefit plans in earnings during the fourth quarter of each year, unless earlier remeasurement is required, as a component of net periodic benefit expense. The remaining components of pension/postretirement expense, primarily service and interest costs and expected return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis. See Note 109 for further discussion of our pension and postretirement benefits.

We derive pension expense from an actuarial calculation based on the defined benefit plans'plans’ provisions and our assumptions regarding discount rate and rate of increase in compensation levels. We determine the discount rate for our more significant U.S. plans by matching the expected projected benefit obligation cash flows of the plans to a yield curve that is representative of long-term, high-quality (rated AA or higher) fixed income debt instruments as of the measurement date. For our other plans, we determine the discount rate based on representative bond indices. The rate of increase in compensation levels is established based on our expectations of current and foreseeable future increases in compensation. We also consult with independent actuaries in determining these assumptions.

Parent Guarantees and Bonds Associated with Balcke Dürr — As further discussed in Note 4, in connection with the sale of Balcke Dürr, we remain contingently obligated under existing parent company guarantees of approximately €79.0 and bank and surety bonds of €79.0. We have accounted for our contingent obligation in accordance with the Guarantees Topic of the Codification, which required that we record a liability for the estimated fair value of the parent company guarantees and the bonds in connection with the accounting for the sale of Balcke Dürr. We estimated the fair value of the parent company guarantees and bank and surety bonds considering the probability of default by Balcke Dürr and an estimate of the amount we would be obligated to pay in the event of a default. As also discussed in Note 4, under the related purchase agreement, Balcke Dürr provided cash collateral and mutares AG provided a partial guarantee in the event any of the parent company guarantees or bonds are called. We recorded an asset for the estimated fair value of the cash collateral provided by Balcke Dürr and the partial guarantee provided by mutares AG, with the estimated fair values based on the terms and conditions and relative risk associated with each of these securities. In future periods, we will amortize the liability and asset to “Income (loss) from continuing operations,” with the amortization of the liability generally to occur at the earlier of the completion of the related underlying project milestones or the expiration of the guarantees or bonds, and the amortization of the asset to occur based on the expiration terms of each of the securities. We will continue to evaluate the adequacy of the recorded liability and will record an adjustment to the liability if we conclude that it is probable that we will be required to fund an amount greater than what is recorded. See Note 15 for further information regarding the estimated fair values of the parent company guarantees and bonds, as well as the cash collateral provided by Balcke Dürr and the partial guarantee provided by mutares AG.
(3)    New Accounting Pronouncements

The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements that apply or may apply to our business.

In July 2012,April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(“FASB”) issued an amendment to guidance relating to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities testing such assets for impairment have the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. If an entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the entity shall calculate the fair value of the intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other Topic of the Codification. The amendment was effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013, with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.



Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
(All currency and share amounts are in millions, except per share and par value data)

        In February 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to guidance relating to the reporting of reclassifications out of AOCI. This guidance requires companies to present, in one place, information about significant amounts reclassified from AOCI. In addition, for significant items reclassified out of AOCI to net income in their entirety during the reporting period, companies must report the effect of such reclassifications on the respective line items in the statement of operations. For amounts not required to be reclassified to net income in their entirety, companies must reference the disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This amendment was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and must be applied prospectively. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013, with the required disclosures included in Note 15.

        In March 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to guidance to resolve the diversity in practice relating to a parent entity's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment ("CTA") upon derecognition of foreign subsidiaries or groups of assets. The amendment requires that any CTA related to the parent entity's investment in a foreign entity be released into earnings when a sale or transfer of the foreign subsidiary or group of assets results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. This amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and must be applied prospectively. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2014, with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        In July 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to guidance to resolve the diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward (collectively, a "carryforward") exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for the carryforward, except to the extent (i) the carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or (ii) the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose. In these cases, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This amendment applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a carryforward exists at the reporting date. This amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and must be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date, with retrospective application permitted. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2014, with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        In April 2014, the FASB issued an amendment to guidance to change the criteria for determining which disposals of components of an entity can be presented as discontinued operations and to modify related disclosure requirements. Under the amended guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity'sentity’s operations and financial results. The amendment states that a "strategic shift"“strategic shift” could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity. The standard no longer precludes presentation as a discontinued operation if there are operations and cash flows of the component that have not been eliminated from the reporting entity'sentity’s ongoing operations, or there is significant continuing involvement with a component after its disposal. This amendment iswas effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and shall be applied prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups2014. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2015. See Note 4 for businesses classified as held for sale after the effective date. The impact of the adoption ofa discontinued operation in accordance with this amendment on our consolidated financial statements will be based on our future disposal activity.

amendment.



In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard on revenue recognition that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The new standard contains a five-step approach that entities will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized, including (i) identifying the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. The new standard requires a number of disclosures intended to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue, and the related cash flows. The disclosures include qualitative and quantitative information about contracts with customers, significant judgments made in applying the revenue guidance, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and we currently plan to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective transition method. The modified retrospective transition approach will recognize any changes from the beginning of the year of initial application through retained earnings with no restatement of comparative periods. We are continuing to assess the potential effect that the standard is expected to have on our consolidated financial statements. We believe the more significant effects on our existing accounting policies will be associated with our power transformer business. Under the new standard, revenue for our power transformers will be recognized over time, which is a change from our current accounting policy of recognizing revenue for power transformers at a point in time.
In April 2015, FASB issued a new standard that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. An amendment to this standard was issued in August 2015 that permits entities to present debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as an asset and subsequently amortize such debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The standard was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and shall be applied retrospectively. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016 and, maythus, the debt issuance costs associated with the term loan under our senior credit facilities have been presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the term loan in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11 for additional details.
In April 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance that, among other changes, permits an entity that has a significant event in an interim period that requires a remeasurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations to remeasure such assets and obligations using the month-end date that is closest to the date of the significant event, rather than the date of the plan event. Under the amended guidance, the month-end remeasurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations that is closest to the date of the significant event should be adjusted to reflect any effects of the significant event, to the extent those effects are not captured in the month-end measurement. An entity is required to disclose its accounting policy election and the dates used to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations in accordance with the provisions of this amended guidance. Although earlier application is permitted, the amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and shall be applied either retrospectivelyprospectively. We early adopted the provisions of this amendment during the third quarter of 2015 in connection with an amendment to certain of our U.S. pension plans during the period. See Note 9 for additional information on the adoption of this amendment and the impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance that simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. The amended guidance requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a statement of financial position. Although earlier application is permitted, the amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with prospective or throughretrospective adoption permitted. We early adopted the useamendment during the fourth quarter of 2015, on a modified-retrospective method.prospective basis, resulting in the classification of our deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as non-current within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance that requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases. In addition, this amendment requires new qualitative and quantitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018 for public business entities, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and adoption must be applied on a modified retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating both methods of adoption as well as the effect that this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.



Notes

In March 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to Consolidated Financial Statementsexisting guidance that simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee shared-based payment transactions. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The standard requires that all excess tax benefits and deficiencies currently recorded in “shareholders’ equity” be prospectively recorded to the statement of operations within the income tax (provision) benefit. These excess tax benefits and deficiencies are primarily driven by fluctuations in our stock price between the date a share-based award is granted and the date the award vests. As such, under this standard we could experience volatility in our income tax (provision) benefit and effective income tax rate. The standard also requires excess tax benefits or deficiencies be presented as an operating activity within the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. This element of the standard may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. We are currently evaluating the effect this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. This amendment provides clarification on eight specific cash flow presentation issues. The issues include, but are not limited to, debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and cash receipts from payments on beneficial interests in securitization transactions. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect this amendment will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an amendment to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires that an entity recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2014

Sale of Shanghai Electric JV

        We use acquisitionsBalcke Dürr Business

As indicated in Note 1, on December 30, 2016, we completed the sale of Balcke Dürr for cash proceeds of less than $0.1. In addition, we left $21.1 of cash in Balcke Dürr at the time of the sale and provided the Buyer with a non-interest bearing loan of $9.1, payable in installments due at the end of 2018 and 2019. In connection with the sale, we recorded a net loss of $78.6 to “Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax.”
The purchase agreement provides that existing parent company guarantees of approximately €79.0 and bank and surety bonds of approximately €79.0 will remain in place through each instrument’s expiration date, with such expiration dates ranging from 2017 to 2022. Balcke Dürr and the Buyer have provided us a full indemnity in the event that any of these guarantees or bonds are called. Also, Balcke Dürr has provided cash collateral of €4.0 and mutares AG has provided a guarantee of €5.0 as a partsecurity for the above indemnifications. The net loss on the sale of our strategythe business of $78.6 includes a charge of $5.1 associated with the estimated fair value of the guarantees and bonds, after consideration of the indemnifications provided in the event any of the guarantees or bonds are called. See Note 15 for further details regarding the estimated fair value of these guarantees and bonds.
The final sales price for Balcke Dürr is subject to gain accessadjustment based on working capital existing at the closing date and is subject to customer relationshipsagreement with the Buyer. Final agreement of the working capital amount with the Buyer has yet to occur. Accordingly, it is possible that the sales price and new technology, expand our geographical reach, penetrate new markets and leverage our existing product, market, manufacturing and technical expertise. Further, as part of our operating strategy, we regularly review and negotiate potential divestitures, some of which are orresulting loss for this divestiture may be material. materially adjusted in subsequent periods.

During 2014, the business environment surrounding our large power projects in South Africa became increasingly difficult. In addition, in January 2015, the end customer announced additional schedule delays for completing these projects. Against this background, we have incurred, and expect to incur, additional costs relating to the projects. We believe that a large portion of these costs is reimbursable by our subcontractors on the projects. However, certain of these subcontractors appear to be financially challenged and, as such, their ability to reimburse us is not reasonably assured. In consideration of these additional costs and the associated recoverability risk, we made revisions to expected revenues and costs on our large power projects in South Africa, resulting in a reduction in revenue and segment income during 2014 of $33.3.

As further discussed in Note 13, during the third quarter of 2015, we made revisions to our estimates of expected revenues and profits on our large power projects in South Africa. As a result of these revisions, we reduced revenue and segment income by $57.2 and $95.0, respectively, during the third quarter of 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2014, we reduced the revenues and profits on our large power projects in South Africa by $25.0 due to schedule delays and financial challenges faced by certain of our subcontractors.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(All currency and share amounts are in millions, except per share and par value data)

(6)    Special Charges, Net

As part of our business strategy, we periodically right-size and consolidate operations to improve long-term results. Additionally, from time to time, we alter our business model to better serve customer demand, discontinue lower-margin product lines and rationalize and consolidate manufacturing capacity. Our restructuring and integration decisions are based, in part, on discounted cash flows and are designed to achieve our goals of reducing structural footprint and maximizing profitability. As a result of our strategic review process, we recorded net special charges of $23.1$5.3 in 2014, $32.32016, $5.1 in 20132015 and $23.4$5.9 in 2012.2014. These net special charges were primarily related to restructuring initiatives to consolidate manufacturing and sales facilities, reduce workforce, and rationalize certain product lines, as well as asset impairment charges.

lines.

The components of the charges have been computed based on actual cash payouts, including severance and other employee benefits based on existing severance policies, local laws, and other estimated exit costs, and our estimate of the realizable value of the affected tangible and intangible assets.

Impairments of long-lived assets, including amortizable intangibles, which represent non-cash asset write-downs, typically arise from business restructuring decisions that lead to the disposition of assets no longer required in the restructured business. For these situations, we recognize a loss when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Fair values for assets subject to impairment testing are determined primarily by management, taking into consideration various factors including third-party appraisals, quoted market prices and previous experience. If an asset remains in service at the decision date, the asset is written down to its fair value and the resulting net book value is depreciated over its remaining economic useful life. When we commit to a plan to sell an asset, including the initiation of a plan to locate a buyer, and it is probable that the asset will be sold within one year based on its current condition and sales price, depreciation of the asset is discontinued and the asset is classified as an asset held for sale. The asset is written down to its fair value less any selling costs.



Liabilities for exit costs, including, among other things, severance, other employee benefit costs, and operating lease obligations on idle facilities, are measured initially at their fair value and recorded when incurred.

        With the exception of certain multi-year operating lease obligations and other contractual obligations, which are not material to our consolidated financial statements, we

We anticipate that the liabilities related to restructuring actions will be paid within one year from the period in which the action was initiated.

Consistent with the requirements of the Intangible — Goodwill and Other Topic of the Codification, the fair values of our reporting units generally are estimated using discounted cash flow projections that we believe to be reasonable under current and forecasted circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of the reported



Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
(All currency and share amounts are in millions, except per share and par value data)

net assets of our reporting units. Other considerations are also incorporated, including comparable industry price multiples. Many of our reporting units closely follow changes in the industries and end markets that they serve. Accordingly, we consider estimates and judgments that affect the future cash flow projections, including principal methods of competition such as volume, price, service, product performance and technical innovations and estimates associated with cost improvement initiatives, capacity utilization and assumptions for inflation and foreign currency changes. Any significant change in market conditions and estimates or judgments used to determine expected future cash flows that indicate a reduction in carrying value may give rise to impairment in the period that the change becomes known.

We perform our annual goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter in conjunction with our annual financial planning process, with such testing based primarily on events and circumstances existing as of the end of the third quarter. In addition, we test goodwill for impairment on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment. Based on our annual goodwill impairment testing in 2014 and 2013,the fourth quarter of 2016, we determinedconcluded that the estimated fair value of each of our reporting units exceeds the carrying value of their respective net assets by at least 10%30.0%.

We perform our annual trademarks impairment testing during the fourth quarter, or on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment. The fair values of our trademarks are determined by applying estimated royalty rates to projected revenues, with the resulting cash flows discounted at a rate of return that reflects current market conditions. The basis for these projected revenues is the annual operating plan for each of the related businesses, which is prepared in the fourth quarter of the precedingeach year. During the fourth quarter of 2014, we recorded impairment charges of $11.7
In recent years, Heat Transfer, a business that provides heat exchangers and $8.4other related components primarily to the trademarksU.S. power generation markets, has experienced a significant decline in revenues and profitability. As a result of certain businesses within our Flow Technology and Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segments, respectively. These trademarks generally relate to businesses that serve power and energy markets. Our current revenue projections for these trademarks have been negatively impacted by the uncertainty in the oil markets and the lack of recoverability in the U.S. coal market. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2014,negative financial trends, we recorded an impairment charge of $18.0$10.9 during 2014 related to our Cooling Equipment and Services ("Cooling") reporting unit's investment inHeat Transfer’s trademarks. During 2015, the Shanghai Electric JV (see Note 4financial results for additional discussions of the Shanghai Electric JV). In China, a decline in economic growth, which has impacted demand for power generation, and increased local competition are expected to negatively impact future operating results of the joint venture. Accordingly, we concludedHeat Transfer stabilized. However, during the fourthfirst quarter of 2014 that2016, the fair value of our investment in the joint venture exceeded the related carrying value, resulting in the aforementioned impairment charge. Other changes in the gross values of trademarksnegative financial trends resurfaced and, other identifiable intangible assets related primarily to foreign currency translation.

        During 2013, we recorded impairment charges of $6.7 related to the trademarks of certain businesses within our Flow Technology reportable segment.

        In connection with our annual goodwill impairment testing in 2012, our analysis indicated that the estimated fair value of our Cooling reporting unit was below the carrying value of its net assets. As a result, we estimated the implied fair value of Cooling's goodwill, which resulted in an impairment charge related to such goodwill of $270.4. The impairment charge of $270.4 was composed of (i) a $125.8 difference between the estimated fair value of Cooling compared to the carrying value of its net assets and (ii) an allocation to certain tangible and intangible assets of $144.6 for the estimated increases in fair value for these assets solely for purposes of applying the impairment provisions of the Intangible — Goodwill and Other Topic of the Codification.

        In addition to the goodwill impairment charge of $270.4,thus, we recorded an impairment charge of $11.0 in 2012 related$4.0 associated with the business’s trademarks during the quarter. In response to certain long-termthe return of these negative financial trends, during the second quarter of 2016, Heat Transfer initiated a restructuring action designed to significantly improve the business’s profitability and cash flows, including outsourcing much of the business’s existing manufacturing processes. This initiative has favorably impacted Heat Transfer’s financial results. Despite these improvements, our current projections of future cash flows indicate that the carrying value of the business’s intangible assets are no longer fully recoverable. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2016, we recorded an impairment charge associated with Heat Transfer’s trademarks and definite-lived intangible assets of our Cooling reporting unit. Lastly, we recorded$26.1. After recording these impairment charges, the carrying value of $4.5 in 2012 related to trademarks for two other businesses within our Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segment.

(9)   Investments in Joint Ventures

        AsHeat Transfer’s intangible assets was $6.1 as of December 31, 2013, we had a joint venture, EGS, with Emerson Electric Co., in which we held a 44.5% interest. EGS operates primarily in the United States, Brazil, Canada and France, and is engaged in the manufacture of electrical fittings, hazardous location lighting and power conditioning products. We accounted for our investment using the equity method, on a three-month lag basis, and we typically received our share of the joint venture's earnings in cash dividends paid quarterly.

        On January 7, 2014, we completed the sale of our 44.5% interest in EGS to Emerson Electric Co. for cash proceeds of $574.1. As a result of the sale, we recorded a gain of $491.2 to "Other income (expense), net" and no equity earnings related to this investment during 2014.

(10)(9)    Employee Benefit Plans

Overview — Defined benefit pension plans cover a portion of our salaried and hourly paid employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. Beginning in 2001, we discontinued providing these pension benefits generally to newly hired employees. In addition, we no longer provide service credits to certain active participants. OfAll of the U.S. employees covered by a defined benefit pension plan and actively accruing a benefit most are covered by an account balance plan or are part of a collectively bargained plan.agreement.

We have domestic postretirement plans that provide health and life insurance benefits to certain retirees and their dependents. Beginning in 2003, we discontinued providing these postretirement benefits generally to newly hired employees. Some of these plans require retiree contributions at varying rates. Not all retirees are eligible to receive these benefits, with eligibility governed by the plan(s) in effect at a particular location.

The plan year-end date for all our plans is December 31.

        Transfers of Retiree Pension Obligations and Lump-Sum Offer — In 2013, we executed an agreement to transfer obligations for monthly pension payments to retirees under the SPX U.S. Pension Plan (the "U.S. Plan") to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Mass Mutual"). Under the agreement, Mass Mutual irrevocably assumed the obligation to make future pension payments to the approximately 16,000 retirees of the U.S. Plan beginning in the second quarter of 2014. The U.S. Plan paid Mass Mutual $663.7 in 2013 to assume obligations totaling approximately $609.0. The partial annuitization of the U.S. Plan resulted in a settlement gain of $4.8, which has been included in net periodic pension benefit expense for 2013.

During 2014 the above settlement gain was increased by an additional $4.8 due to refunds by Mass Mutual to the U.S. Plan, with such gain included in net periodic pension benefit expense for 2014. Additionally, during a designated election period induring the first quarter of 2014, we offered approximately 7,100 eligible former employees a voluntary lump-sum payment option in lieu of a future pension benefit under the SPX U.S. Plan.Pension Plan (the “U.S. Plan”). Approximately 38%, or $165.2, of the projected benefit obligation of the U.S. Plan was settled as a result of lump-sum payments that were made to those who accepted the offer. These payments were made during the first quarter of 2014. In connection with thethis lump-sum payment action, a settlement loss and an actuarial loss of $4.6 and $14.8,

respectively, have beenwere recorded to net periodic pension benefit expense, with the actuarial loss resulting from the remeasurementre-measurement of the assets and obligationsliabilities of the U.S. Plan.

In addition, during 2014, we increased the net settlement gain by $4.8 associated with the 2013 partial annuitization of the U.S. Plan.



In the fourth quarter of 2014, we executed an agreement to transfer obligations for monthly pension payments to retirees under the SPX U.K. Pension Plan (the "U.K. Plan"“U.K. Plan”) to Just Retirement Limited ("(“Just Retirement"Retirement”). Under the agreement, Just Retirement irrevocably assumed the obligation to make future pension payments to the approximately 900 retirees of the U.K. Plan beginning in the first quarter of 2015. The U.K. Plan paid Just Retirement 79.2 British Pounds ("GBP"(“GBP”) ($123.3 equivalent) in the fourth quarter of 2014 to assume obligations totaling approximately GBP 68.0 ($105.8 equivalent). The partial annuitization of the U.K. Plan resulted in a settlement loss of $15.0, which has beenwas included in net periodic pension benefit expense for 2014.

On July 14, 2015, we amended the U.S. Plan and the Supplemental Individual Account Retirement Plan (‘‘SIARP’’) to freeze all benefits for active non-union participants. The amendment resulted in a curtailment gain of $5.1. In connection with the amendment, we remeasured the assets and liabilities of the U.S. Plan and the SIARP as of June 30, 2015, which resulted in a charge to net periodic pension benefit expense of $11.4, which was included in net periodic pension benefit expense for 2015.
In connection with the Spin-Off, participants in the U.S. Plan that were transferred to SPX FLOW became eligible to elect a lump-sum payment option in lieu of a future pension benefit under the U.S. Plan. During the second quarter of 2016, approximately 9%, or $25.2, of the projected benefit obligation of the U.S. Plan was settled as a result of lump-sum payments. In connection with these lump-sum payments, we remeasured the assets and liabilities of the U.S. Plan as of May 31, 2016, which resulted in a charge to net periodic pension benefit expense of $1.0, which was included in net periodic pension benefit expense for 2016.
During the second quarter of 2016, we made lump-sum payments to certain participants of the SIARP, settling approximately 22%, or $2.7, of the SIARP’s projected benefit obligation. In connection with these lump-sum payments, we remeasured the liabilities of the SIARP as of June 30, 2016, which resulted in a charge to net periodic pension benefit expense of $0.8, which was included in net periodic pension benefit expense for 2016.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans

Plan assets — Our investment strategy is based on the long-term growth and protection of principalprinciple while mitigating overall risk to ensure that funds are available to pay benefit obligations. The domestic plan assets are invested in a broad range of investment classes, including fixed income securities and domestic and international equities. We engage various investment managers who are regularly evaluated on long-term performance, adherence to investment guidelines and the ability to manage risk commensurate with the investment style and objective for which they were hired. We continuously monitor the value of assets by class and routinely rebalance our portfolio with the goal of meeting our target allocations.

The strategy for bonds emphasizes investment-grade corporate and government debt with maturities matching a portion of the longer duration pension liabilities. The bonds strategy also includes a high yield element, which is generally shorter in duration. The strategy for equity assets is to minimize concentrations of risk by investing primarily in companies in a diversified mix of industries worldwide, while targeting neutrality in exposure to global versus regional markets, fund types and fund managers. A small portion of U.S. plan assets is allocated to private equity partnerships and real estate asset fund investments for diversification, providing opportunities for above market returns.

Allowable investments under the plan agreements include fixed income securities, equity securities, mutual funds, venture capital funds, real estate and cash and equivalents. In addition, investments in futures and option contracts, commodities and other derivatives are allowed in commingled fund allocations managed by professional investment managers. Investments prohibited under the plan agreements include private placements and short selling of stock. No shares of our common stock were held by our defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 20142016 or 2013.

Short-term investments are generally invested in actively managed common trust funds or interest-bearing accounts. As of December 31, 2015, and in connection with a transition to a new investment advisor, the U.K. Plan had a significant amount of its assets invested in short-term investments. Following the engagement of a new investment advisor for the U.K. Plan, asset allocations for the U.K. Plan and aggregate asset allocations for our foreign plans are more in-line with targeted allocations.

These investments, however, are not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and participation is not open to the public. The funds are valued at the net asset value per share multiplied by the number of shares held as of the measurement date.

        During 2014, there were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. During 2013, the balance of one fixed income common trust fund was transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (the fair value of this fund was $16.6 and $69.2 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively), and two fixed income common trust funds were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy (the fair values of these funds were $27.6 and $46.3 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively). It is our policy to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Employer Contributions — We currently fund U.S. pension plans in amounts equal to the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus additional amounts that may be approved from time to time. During 2014,2016, we made no contributions to our qualified domestic pension plans, and direct benefit payments of $10.3$10.0 to our non-qualified domestic pension plans. In 2015,2017, we do not expect to make any minimum required funding contributions to our qualified domestic pension plans and expect to make direct benefit payments of $10.5$6.1 to our non-qualified domestic pension plans.

        Many of our foreign plan obligations are unfunded in accordance with local laws. These plans have no assets and instead are funded by us on a pay as you go basis in the form of direct benefit payments.

In 2014,2016, we made contributions of $10.7$0.5 to our foreign plans that are funded, which included $2.9 of contributions that relate to businesses that have been classified as discontinued operations.pension plans. In addition, we made direct benefit payments of $3.2 to our foreign plans that are unfunded. In 2015,2017, we expect to make minimum required funding contributions of $2.8, including $2.0 of contributions that relate to businesses that have been classified as discontinued operations, and $2.6 of direct benefit payments$2.9 to our foreign pension plans.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments — Following is a summary, as of December 31, 2014,2016, of the estimated future benefit payments for our pension plans in each of the next five fiscal years and in the aggregate for five fiscal years thereafter. Benefit payments are paid from plan assets or directly by us for our non-funded plans. The expected benefit payments are estimated based on the same assumptions used at December 31, 20142016 to measure our obligations and include benefits attributable to estimated future employee service.

Obligations and Funded Status — The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of market interest rates. The combined unfunded status of our pension plans as of December 31, 20142016 has increaseddecreased since December 31, 2013,2015, primarily as a result of (i) lower discount rates being usedthe employer contributions to valuefund lump-sum payments relating to the domestic and foreign plans and (ii) changes in mortality rate assumptions used to value the domestic plans in 2014 compared to 2013.SIARP, which is an unfunded plan. Our non-funded pension plans account for $210.0$72.3 of the current underfunded status, as these plans are not required to be funded.

We review the pension assumptions annually. Pension income or expense for the year is determined using assumptions as of the beginning of the year (except for the effects of recognizing changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial gains and losses in the fourth quarter of each year), while the funded status is determined using assumptions as of the end of the year. We determined assumptions and established them at the respective balance sheet date using the following principles: (i) the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is established based on forward looking long-term expectations of asset returns over the expected period to fund participant benefits based on the target investment mix of our plans; (ii) the discount rate is determined by matching the expected projected benefit obligation cash flows for each of the plans to a yield curve that is representative of long-term, high-quality (rated


AA or higher) fixed income debt instruments as of the measurement date; and (iii) the rate of increase in compensation levels is established based on our expectations of current and foreseeable future increases in compensation. In addition, we consider advice from independent actuaries.

Multiemployer Benefit Plans

        Upon acquisition of Clyde Union, we assumed participation in a multiemployer benefit plan under the terms of a collective-bargaining agreement that covers Clyde Union's domestic union-represented employees. The risks of participating in these multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects:

        The contributions made by Clyde Union during 2014 and 2013 were not more than 5% of the total contributions made to the IAM National Pension Fund, National Pension Plan ("IAM"). In 2011, the IAM began applying an election for funding relief which allows the IAM to amortize the investment losses incurred for the plan year ended December 31, 2008 over a period of up to 29 years (as opposed to 15 years that would otherwise have been required). Furthermore, in accordance with the election, the current asset valuation method has been updated to recognize the investment losses incurred during the 2008 plan year over a ten-year period as opposed to the previous period of five years.

Postretirement Benefit Plans

Employer Contributions and Future Benefit Payments — Our postretirement medical plans are unfunded and have no plan assets, but are instead funded by us on a pay as you gopay-as-you-go basis in the form of direct benefit payments or policy premium payments. In 2014,2016, we made benefit payments of $13.7 (net of federal subsidies of $0.9)$10.3 to our postretirement benefit plans. Following is a summary, as of December 31, 2014,2016, of the estimated future benefit payments and expected federal subsidies for our postretirement plans in each of the next five fiscal years and in the aggregate for five fiscal years thereafter. The expected benefit payments and federal subsidies are estimated based on the same assumptions used at December 31, 20142016 to measure our obligations and include benefits attributable to estimated future employee service.

The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was determined using the terms and conditions of our various plans, together with relevant actuarial assumptions and health care cost trend rates. It is our policy to review the postretirement assumptions annually. The assumptions are determined by us and are established based on our prior experience and our expectations that future health care cost trend rates will decline. In addition, we consider advice from independent actuaries.

Assumed health care cost trend rates can have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the postretirement benefit plans. Including the effects of recognizing actuarial gains and losses into earnings, a one percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate would have increased our estimated 20142016 postretirement expense by $6.9,$5.5, and a one percentage point decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate would have decreased our estimated 20142016 postretirement expense by $6.1.

$4.9.

Defined Contribution Retirement Plans

We maintain a defined contribution retirement plan (the "DC Plan"“DC Plan”) pursuant to Section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Under the DC Plan, eligible U.S. employees may voluntarily contribute up to 50% of their compensation into the DC Plan and we match a portion of participating employees'employees’ contributions. Our matching contributions are primarily made in newly issued shares of company common stock and are issued at the prevailing market price. The matching contributions vest with the employee immediately upon the date of the match and there are no restrictions on the resale of common stock held by employees.

Under the DC Plan, we contributed 0.167, 0.2060.605, 0.434 and 0.2660.167 shares of our common stock to employee accounts in 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, respectively. Compensation expense is recorded based on the market value of shares as the shares are contributed to employee accounts. We recorded $16.4$8.8 in 2014, $15.32016, $10.2 in 20132015 and $15.5$10.3 in 20122014 as compensation expense related to the matching contribution.

Certain collectively-bargained employees participate in the DC Plan with company contributions not being made in company common stock, although company common stock is offered as an investment option under these plans.

We also maintain a Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan ("SRSP"(“SRSP”), which permits certain members of our senior management and executive groups to defer eligible compensation in excess of the amounts allowed under the DC Plan. We match a portion of participating employees'employees’ deferrals to the extent allowable under the SRSP provisions. The matching contributions vest with the participant immediately. Our funding of the participants'participants’ deferrals and our matching contributions are held in certain mutual funds (as allowed under the SRSP), as directed by the participant. The fair values of these assets, which totaled $50.5$19.1 and $46.2$20.0 at December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, respectively, are


based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). In addition, the assets under the SRSP are available to the general creditors in the event of our bankruptcy and, thus, are maintained on our consolidated balance sheets within other non-current assets, with a corresponding amount in other long-term liabilities for our obligation to the participants. Lastly, these assets are accounted for as trading securities. During 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, we recorded compensation expense of $0.6, $0.3$0.7, $0.7 and $0.3,$0.6, respectively, relating to our matching contributions to the SRSP.

General Matters

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We periodically assess deferred tax assets to determine if they are likely to be realized and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, incorporating the results of local, state, federal and foreign tax audits in our estimates and judgments.

At December 31, 2014,2016, we had the following tax loss carryforwards available: state tax loss carryforwards of approximately $362.0$422.0 and tax losses of various foreign jurisdictions of approximately $874.8.$189.0. We also had federal and state tax credit



Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
(All currency and share amounts are in millions, except per share and par value data)

carryforwards of $16.9.$7.0. Of these amounts, approximately $3.9$7.0 expire in 20152017 and $426.6$423.0 expire at various times between 20152017 and 2034.2036. The remaining carryforwards have no expiration date.

Realization of deferred tax assets, including those associated with net operating loss and credit carryforwards, is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate tax jurisdiction. We believe that it is more likely than not that we may not realize the benefit of certain of these deferred tax assets and, accordingly, have established a valuation allowance against certain of these deferred tax assets. Although realization is not assured for the remaining deferred tax assets, we believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable earnings or tax planning strategies. However, deferred tax assets could be reduced in the near term if our estimates of taxable income are significantly reduced or tax planning strategies are no longer viable. The valuation allowance increased by $3.6$4.9 in 20142016 and increaseddecreased by $21.2$82.0 in 2013. Of2015. The 2016 increase was driven by the net increaselosses generated during the year for our large power projects in 2014, $36.5South Africa, offset by the impact of the sale of our dry cooling business. The most significant driver of the 2015 decrease was recognized as an increasethe impact of the Spin-Off, partially offset by the losses generated during the year for our large power projects in tax expense from continuing operations. Of the net increase in 2013, $0.5 was recognized as a decrease in tax expense from continuing operations.

The amount of income tax that we pay annually is dependent on various factors, including the timing of certain deductions. These deductions can vary from year to year, and, consequently, the amount of income taxes paid in future years will vary from the amounts paid in prior years.



Undistributed Foreign Earnings

In general, it is our practice and intention to reinvest the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations. However, in the fourth quarter of 2014, our Board of Directors approved a plan for a tax-free spin-off of our Flow Technology reportable segment and our Hydraulic Technologies business and the creation of a new stand-alone, publicly-traded company. In connection the planned spin-off transaction, we elected to repatriate certain earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries during the quarter and provided for U.S. and foreign withholding taxes of $18.6 on such foreign dividends and undistributed earnings that were no longer considered to be indefinitely reinvested.

As of December 31, 2014,2016, we had not recorded a provision for U.S. or foreign withholding taxes on approximately $1,265.0$26.0 of the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration. Generally, such amounts become subject to U.S. taxation upon the remittance of dividends and under certain other circumstances. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of a deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings of these foreign subsidiaries, in the event that these earnings are no longer considered to be indefinitely reinvested, due to the hypothetical nature of the calculation.

        There are discrete amounts of foreign earnings (approximately $278.0), primarily related to the gain on sale of our Service Solutions business, where we do plan to repatriate the earnings in the future. During 2012, we provided $100.8 of U.S. and foreign withholding taxes on such earnings, with $91.8 of such amount recorded to discontinued operations.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

As of December 31, 2016, we had gross and net unrecognized tax benefits of $37.9 and $25.2, respectively. Of these net unrecognized tax benefits, $20.3 would impact our effective tax rate from continuing operations if recognized. Similarly, at December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $48.8 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $30.1) and $63.3 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $33.9), of which $33.3, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate from continuing operations. Similarly, at December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $128.4 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $72.9) and $108.4 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $72.5), respectively.

We classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our income tax provision.(provision) benefit. As of December 31, 2014,2016, gross accrued interest totaled $5.9$3.7 (net accrued interest of $4.9)$2.4), while the related amounts as of December 31, 20132015 and 20122014 were $12.4$5.4 (net accrued interest of $8.6)$4.5) and $12.8$5.9 (net accrued interest of $8.6)$4.9), respectively. Our income tax (provision) benefit for the years ended December 31, 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 20122014 included gross interest income of $0.9,$1.8, $0.2 and $2.9,$0.9, respectively, resulting from a reduction in our liability for uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we had no accrual for penalties included in our unrecognized tax benefits, while the related amount as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $7.1.benefits. Our income tax (provision) benefit for the year ended December 31, 2014 included a benefit of $7.1 for the reversal of penalties previously accrued, resulting primarily from audit settlements during the year. TheNo amount for penalties was included in the income tax (provision) benefit for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 included penalties of $0.0 and $1.5, respectively.

2016 or December 31, 2015.

Based on the outcome of certain examinations or as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations for certain jurisdictions, we believe that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that our previously unrecognized tax benefits

(All currency and share amounts are in millions, except per share and par value data)

could decrease by approximately $10.0$6.0 to $15.0.$10.0. The previously unrecognized tax benefits relate to a variety of tax matters relating toincluding deemed income inclusions, transfer pricing and various state matters.

The aggregate changes in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 20122014 were as follows:

Other Tax Matters

During 2016, our income tax provision was impacted most significantly by (i) the $0.3 of income taxes provided in connection with the $18.4 gain that was recorded on the sale of the dry cooling business, (ii) $13.7 of foreign losses generated during the period for which no tax benefit was recognized as future realization of any such tax benefit is considered unlikely, and (iii) $2.4 of tax benefits related to various audit settlements, statute expirations, and other adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
During 2015, our income tax provision was impacted by (i) the effects of approximately $139.0 of pre-tax losses generated during the year (the majority of which relate to our large projects in South Africa) for which no tax benefit


was recognized, as future realization of any such tax benefit is considered unlikely, (ii) $3.7 of foreign taxes incurred during the year related to the Spin-Off and the reorganization actions undertaken to facilitate the Spin-Off, and (iii) $3.4 of taxes related to various audit settlements, statute expirations, and other adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
During 2014, our income tax provision was impacted by the U.S. income taxes provided in connection with the $491.2 gain on the sale of our interest in EGS and by the following income tax charges: (i) $19.6$33.8 related to net increases in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets including $5.1 for which the related tax benefits are no longer expected to be realized due to legal entity reorganization actions that are required in connection with the planned spin-off transaction previously discussed,and (ii) $18.6$11.4 related to the repatriation of certain earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries and (iii) $6.0 ofsubsidiaries. In addition, our income tax provision was impacted unfavorably by a low effective tax rate on foreign income taxes related to reorganization actions undertaken to facilitate the planned spin-off transaction.losses. The impact of these items was partially offset by the following income tax benefits: (i) $28.6$16.2 of tax benefits related to various audit settlements, statute expirations and other adjustments to liabilities for uncertain tax positions, with the most notable being the closure of our U.S. tax examination for the years 2008 through 2011, and (ii) $6.4 of tax benefits related to a loss on an investment in a foreign subsidiary.

        During 2013, our income tax provision was impacted by the following income tax benefits: (i) $9.5 related to net reductions in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred income tax assets; (ii) $6.5 related to various audit settlements and statute expirations; and (iii) $4.1 associated with the Research and Experimentation Credit generated in 2012.

        During 2012, our income tax benefit was impacted by: (i) an income tax benefit of $26.3 associated with the $281.4 impairment charge recorded for our Cooling reporting unit, as the majority of the goodwill for the Cooling reporting unit has no basis for income tax purposes; (ii) taxes provided of $15.4 on foreign dividends and undistributed earnings that were no longer considered to be indefinitely reinvested; (iii) incremental tax expense of $6.1 associated with the deconsolidation of our dry cooling business in China, as the goodwill allocated to the transaction was not deductible for income tax purposes; and (iv) valuation allowances that were recorded against deferred income tax assets during the year of $5.4. The unfavorable impact of these items was offset partially by income tax benefits of $22.3 associated with audit closures, settlements, statute expirations, and other changes in the accrual for uncertain tax positions, with the most notable being the closure of our German tax examination for the years 2005 through 2009.

We perform reviews of our income tax positions on a continuous basis and accrue for potential uncertain positions when we determine that an uncertain position meets the criteria of the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. Accruals for these uncertain tax positions are recorded in "Income“Income taxes payable"payable” and "Deferred“Deferred and other income taxes"taxes” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets based on the expectation as to the timing of when the matters will be resolved. As events change and resolutions occur, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities.

We have filed our federal income tax returns for the 20122013, 2014, and 20132015 tax years and those returns are subject to examination. The IRS is currently examining the 2012 tax return year. With regard to all open tax years, we believe any contingencies are adequately provided for.



Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(All currency and share amounts are in millions, except per share and par value data)

State income tax returns generally are subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing the respective tax returns. The impact on such tax returns of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. We have various state income tax returns in the process of examination, administrative appeal or litigation.examination. We believe any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for.

We have various foreign income tax returns under examination. The most significant of these are in DenmarkGermany for the 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2010 tax years and South Africa for the 2005 to 2010through 2014 tax years. We believe that any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for.

An unfavorable resolution of one or more of the above matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in the quarter and year in which an adjustment is recorded or the tax is due or paid. As audits and examinations are still in process, or we have not yet reached the final stages of the appeals process, the timing of the ultimate resolution and any payments that may be required for the above matters cannot be determined at this time.

Senior Credit Facilities

        Our senior

In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a credit facilities provideagreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated September 1, 2015, with a syndicate of lenders that provides for committed senior secured financing in an aggregate amount of $2,075.0,$1,000.0, consisting of the following (each with a final maturity of December 23, 2018)September 24, 2020):


A term loan facility in an aggregate principle amount of $575.0;$350.0;

$125.0.

The term loan of $575.0 (which includes $100.0 drawn under the facility in the second quarter of 2014)Credit Agreement is repayable in quarterly installments (with annual aggregate repayments, as a percentage of the initial principal amount of $350.0, of 5.0% annually,, beginning with our second fiscalin the third calendar quarter of 2015,2016), with the remaining balance repayable in full on December 23, 2018.

        OurSeptember 24, 2020.

The participation foreign credit instrument facility and the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility originally provided financing of $300.0 and $200.0, respectively. On September 29, 2016, we elected to reduce our participation foreign credit instrument facility commitment and our bilateral foreign credit instrument facility commitment by $125.0, and $75.0, respectively. In connection with the reduction of our foreign credit instrument facility commitments, we recorded a charge of $1.3 to “Loss on early extinguishment of debt” during the third quarter of 2016 associated with the write-off of the unamortized deferred financing fees related to this previously available issuance capacity of $200.0.
We also may seek additional commitments, without consent from the existing lenders, to add an incremental term loan facility and/or increase the commitments in respect of the domestic revolving credit facility, the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and/or the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility by an aggregate principal amount not to exceed (i) $300.0 plus (ii) an unlimited amount so long as, immediately after giving effect thereto, our Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding the face amount undrawn letters of credit, bank undertakings, or analogous instruments and net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50.0) at the date of determination secured by liens to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended most recently before such date) does not exceed 2.75:1.00 plus (iii) an amount equal to all voluntary prepayments of the term loan facility and voluntary prepayments accompanied by permanent commitment reductions of revolving credit facilities and foreign credit instrument facilities.
We are the borrower under each of the above facilities, and certain of our foreign subsidiaries are (and we may designate other foreign subsidiaries to be) borrowers under the global revolving credit facility and the foreign credit instrument facilities. All borrowings and other extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement are subject to the


satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties.
The letters of credit under the domestic revolving credit facility are stand-by letters of credit requested by SPX on behalf of any of our subsidiaries or certain joint ventures. The foreign credit instrument facility is used to issue foreign credit instruments, including bank undertakings to support our foreign operations.
The interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Agreement are, at our option, equal to either (i) an alternate base rate (the highest of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., and (c) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) or (ii) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate for dollars (Eurodollars) plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage, which varies based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding the face amount of undrawn letters of credit, bank undertakings and analogous instruments and net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50.0) at the date of determination to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended most recently before such date). We may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months (and, if consented to by all relevant lenders, twelve months) for Eurodollar borrowings.

The fees and bilateral foreign credit commitments are as specified above for foreign credit commitments unless otherwise agreed with the bilateral foreign issuing lender. We also pay fronting fees on the outstanding amounts of letters of credit and foreign credit instruments (in the participation facility) at the rates of 0.125% per annum and 0.25% per annum, respectively.
The Credit Agreement requires mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to the net proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, including from any casualty to, or governmental taking of, property in excess of specified values (other than in the ordinary course of business and subject to other exceptions) by SPX or our subsidiaries. Mandatory prepayments will be applied to repay, first, amounts outstanding under any term loans and, then, amounts (or cash collateralize letters of credit) outstanding under the global revolving credit facility and the domestic revolving credit facility (without reducing the commitments thereunder). No prepayment is required generally to the extent the net proceeds are reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) in permitted acquisitions, permitted investments or assets to be used in our business within 360 days (and if committed to be reinvested, actually reinvested within 180 days after the end of such 360-day period) of the receipt of such proceeds.
We may voluntarily prepay loans under the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Any voluntary prepayment of loans will be subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by:
Each existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic material subsidiary with specified exceptions; and
SPX with respect to the obligations of our foreign borrower subsidiaries under the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility.
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority pledge and security interest in 100% of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries (with certain exceptions) held by SPX or our domestic subsidiary


guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of our material first-tier foreign subsidiaries (with certain exceptions). If SPX obtains a corporate credit rating from Moody’s and S&P and such corporate credit rating is less than “Ba2” (or not rated) by Moody’s and less than “BB” (or not rated) by S&P, then SPX and our domestic subsidiary guarantors are required to grant security interests, mortgages and other liens on substantially all of their assets. If SPX’s corporate credit rating is “Baa3” or better by Moody’s or “BBB-” or better by S&P and no defaults would exist, then all collateral security will be released and the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement will be unsecured.
The Credit Agreement requires that weSPX maintain:

A Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined(defined in the credit agreementCredit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended on such date to consolidated cash interest expense for such period) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of at least 3.50 to 1.00; and

•
A Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding the face amount of undrawn letters of credit, bank undertakings or analogous instruments and net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50.0) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four quarters ended on such date) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 (or 3.50 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters after certain permitted acquisitions).

        Our senior credit facilities

The Credit Agreement also containcontains covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, loans, guarantees, or advances, make restricted junior payments, including dividends, redemptions of capital stock, and voluntary prepayments or repurchase of certain other indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions or sales of assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, or engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. We do not expect these covenants to restrict our liquidity, financial condition or access to capital resources in the foreseeable future. Our senior credit facilities also containThe Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default.

We are permitted under our senior credit facilitiesthe Credit Agreement to repurchase our capital stock and pay cash dividends in an unlimited amount if our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) less than 2.50 to 1.00. If our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, the aggregate amount of such repurchases and dividend declarations cannot exceed (A) $100.0$50.0 in any fiscal year plus (B) an additional amount for all such repurchases and dividend declarations made after December 23, 2013the Effective Date equal to the sum of (i) $300.0 and$100.0 plus (ii) a positive amount equal to 50% of cumulative Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the credit agreementCredit Agreement generally as consolidated net income subject to certain adjustments solely for the purposes of determining this basket) during the period from July 1, 2011the Effective Date to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter preceding the date of such repurchase or dividend declaration for which financial statements have been (or were required to be) delivered (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit).

plus (iii) certain other amounts.

At December 31, 2014,2016, we had $313.2$313.9 of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities after giving effect to borrowings under the domestic revolving loan facility of $133.0 and $53.8$36.1 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. In addition, at December 31, 2014,2016, we had $304.7$98.6 of available issuance capacity under our foreign credit instrument facilities after giving effect to $695.3$201.4 reserved for outstanding letters of credit.

        We also may seek additional commitments, without the consent from the existing lenders, to add an incremental term loan facility and/or increase the commitments in respect of the domestic revolving credit facility, the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and/or the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility by up to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed (x) $1,000.0 or (y) such greater amount that would not cause our Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio to exceed 2.75 to 1.00.

        We are the borrower under all the facilities, and certain of our foreign subsidiaries are borrowers under the foreign credit instrument facilities (and we may in the future designate other subsidiaries to be borrowers under the revolving credit facilities and the foreign credit instrument facilities).

        The interest rates applicable to loans under our senior credit facilities are, at our option, equal to either (i) an alternate base rate (the higher of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., and (c) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%) or (ii) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR (as defined in the senior credit facilities) for dollars (Eurodollars) plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage, which varies based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio. We may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months for Eurodollar borrowings. The per annum fees charged and the interest rate margins applicable to Eurodollar and alternate base rate loans are as follows:

        The weighted-average interest rate of outstanding borrowings under our senior credit facilities was approximately 1.6% at December 31, 2014.

        Bilateral foreign credit fees and commitments are as specified above, unless otherwise agreed with the bilateral foreign issuing lender. We also pay fronting fees on the outstanding amounts of letters of credit and foreign credit instruments (in the participation facility) at the rates of 0.125% per annum and 0.25% per annum, respectively.

        Our senior credit facilities require mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to the net proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, including from any casualty to, or governmental taking of, property in excess of specified values (other than in the ordinary course of business and subject to other exceptions). Mandatory prepayments will be applied to repay, first, any amounts outstanding under the term loans and any other incremental term loans that we may have outstanding in the future, in the manner and order selected by us, and second, after the term loans and any such incremental term loans have been repaid in full, amounts (or cash collateralize letters of credit) outstanding under the global revolving credit facility and the domestic revolving credit facility (without reducing the commitments thereunder). No prepayment is required generally to the extent the net proceeds are reinvested in permitted acquisitions, permitted investments or assets to be used in our business within 360 days of the receipt of such proceeds.

        We may voluntarily prepay loans under our senior credit facilities, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Any voluntary prepayment of loans will be subject to reimbursement of the lenders' breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

        Indebtedness under our senior credit facilities is guaranteed by:

        Indebtedness under our senior credit facilities is secured by a first priority pledge and security interest in 100% of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries (with certain exceptions) held by us or our domestic subsidiary guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of our material first-tier foreign subsidiaries (with certain exceptions). If our corporate credit rating is less than "Ba2" (or not rated) by Moody's and less than "BB" (or not rated) by S&P, then we and our domestic subsidiary guarantors

are required to grant security interests, mortgages and other liens on substantially all of our assets. If our corporate credit rating is "Baa3" or better by Moody's or "BBB–" or better by S&P and no defaults would exist, then all collateral security will be released and the indebtedness under our senior credit facilities will be unsecured.

At December 31, 2014,2016, we were in compliance with all covenants of our senior credit facilities.

Senior Notes

        In August 2010, we issued, in a private placement, $600.0 aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior unsecured notes that mature in August 2017. We used the proceeds from the offering to repay the remaining balance under the term loan of our then-existing senior credit facilities of $562.5, to pay $26.9 of termination costs (including $2.6 of accrued interest) for Swaps related to the then-existing term loan, and the remainder to pay the majority of the financing costs incurred in connection with the offering. The interest payment dates for these notes are March 1 and September 1 of each year. The notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus an applicable premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If we experience certain types of change of control transactions, we must offer to repurchase the notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. These notes are unsecured and rank equally with all our existing and future unsubordinated unsecured senior indebtedness, but are effectively junior to our senior credit facilities. The indenture governing these notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and consummate some mergers. During the third quarter of 2011, these senior notes became freely tradable. Payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on these notes is guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our domestic subsidiaries. The likelihood of having to make payments under the guarantee is considered remote. At December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants of our 6.875% senior notes. As indicated in Note 4, our Board of Directors approved a plan for a tax-free spin-off of our Flow Technology reportable segment and our Hydraulic Technologies business and the creation of a new stand-alone, publicly-traded company. In connection with the planned spin-off transaction, we obtained, in December 2014, consents from the holders of our 6.875% senior notes allowing these senior notes to become obligations of the new stand-alone, publicly-traded company if, and when, the spin-off transaction is completed. In obtaining these consents, we incurred fees and related transaction costs of $5.0, which have been recorded to "Other income (expense), net" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for 2014.

        In December 2007, we issued, in a private placement, $500.0 aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior unsecured notes that were to mature in December 2014. We used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the financing of our acquisition of APV. The notes were redeemable, in whole, or in part, at any time prior to maturity at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On February 11, 2014, we completed the redemption of all the 7.625% senior notes for a total redemption price of $530.6. As a result of the redemption, we recorded a charge of $32.5 to "Loss on early extinguishment of debt" during 2014, which related to premiums paid to redeem the senior notes of $30.6, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees of $1.0, and other costs associated with the extinguishment of the senior notes of $0.9.

Other Borrowings and Financing Activities

Certain of our businesses purchase goods and services under purchase card programs allowing for payment beyond their normal payment terms. As of December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, the participating businesses had $32.1$3.9 and $25.4,$4.8, respectively, outstanding under these arrangements. As these arrangements extend the payment of our businesses' payables beyond their normal payment terms through third-party lending institutions, we have classified these amounts as short-term debt.

We are party to a trade receivables financing agreement, whereby we can borrow, on a continuous basis, up to $80.0.$50.0. Availability of funds may fluctuate over time given changes in eligible receivable balances, but will not exceed the $80.0$50.0 program limit. The facility contains representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities customary for facilities of this type. The facility does not contain any covenants that we view as materially constraining to the activities of our business.

In addition, we maintain line of credit facilities in China, India, and South Africa available to fund operations in these regions, when necessary. At December 31, 2014, we had $5.72016, the aggregate amount of letters of creditborrowing capacity under these facilities was $16.1, while the aggregate borrowings outstanding under separate arrangements in China and India.

were $11.0.

(12)    Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Swaps
During the second quarter of 2016, we entered into interest rate swap agreements (“Swaps”) to hedge the interest rate risk on our variable rate term loan. These Swaps, which we designate and account for as cash flow hedges, have effective dates beginning in January 2017 and maturities through September 2020 and effectively convert 50% of the borrowing under the variable rate term loan to a fixed rate of 1.2895% plus the applicable margin. These are amortizing Swaps; therefore, the outstanding notional value is scheduled to decline commensurate with the scheduled maturities of the term loan. As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate notional amounts of the Swaps was $170.8 and the unrealized gain, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) was $0.7. In addition, we have recorded a long-term asset of $1.7 to recognize the fair value of these Swaps.
Currency Forward Contracts

and Currency Forward Embedded Derivatives

We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency-denominated cash flows and to minimize the impact of changes as a result of currency fluctuations. Our principal currency exposures relate to the Euro, South African Rand CNY and GBP.

From time to time, we enter into forward contracts to manage the exposure on contracts with forecasted transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and to manage the risk of transaction gains and losses associated with assets/liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries ("(“FX forward contracts"contracts”). In addition, some of our contracts contain currency forward embedded derivatives ("(“FX embedded derivatives"derivatives”), because the currency of exchange is not "clearly“clearly and closely"closely” related to the functional currency of either party to the transaction. Certain of our FX forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the derivatives'derivatives’ fair value are not included in current earnings, but are included in AOCI.accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). These changes in fair value are reclassified into earnings as a component of revenues or cost of products sold, as applicable, when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. In addition, if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable, the cumulative change in the derivatives'derivatives’ fair value is recorded as a component of "Other“Other income (expense), net"net” in the period in which the transaction is no longer considered probable of occurring. To the extent a previously designated hedging transaction is no longer an effective hedge, any ineffectiveness measured in the hedging relationship is recorded in earnings in the period in which it occurs.

We had FX forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $298.0$8.8 and $191.3$111.2 outstanding as of December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, respectively, with substantially all such contractsof the $8.8 scheduled to mature in 2015.2017. We also had FX embedded derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of $246.0$0.9 and $145.8$99.4 at December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, respectively, with all of the $0.9 scheduled maturitiesto mature in 2017. The decline in the notional amount of $151.7, $84.0FX forward contracts and $10.3 in 2015, 2016 and years thereafter, respectively.FX embedded derivatives was due primarily to the sale of our dry cooling business. The unrealized losses,gains (losses), net of taxes, recorded in AOCI related to FX forward contracts were $0.3$0.0 and $1.0$(0.6) as of December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, respectively. We anticipate reclassifying $0.2 of the unrealized loss as of December 31, 2014 to income over the next 12 months, with the remaining $0.1 in 2016. The net gain (loss)loss recorded in "Other“Other income (expense), net"net” related to FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivatives totaled $(2.4)$6.3 in 2014, $0.52016, $1.2 in 20132015 and $(0.2)$2.7 in 2012.

2014.

Commodity Contracts

From time to time, we enter into commodity contracts to manage the exposure on forecasted purchases of commodity raw materials. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, theThe outstanding notional amountamounts of commodity contracts waswere 4.1 and 4.2 and 3.4 pounds of copper at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges and, to the extent these commodity contracts are effective in offsetting the variability of the forecasted purchases, the change in fair value is included in AOCI. We reclassify AOCI associated with our commodity contracts to cost of products sold when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. As of December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, the fair value of these contracts was $1.4$1.1 (current liabilities)asset) and $0.4$1.7 (current assets)liability), respectively. The unrealized gain (loss), net of taxes, recorded in AOCI was $(1.0)$0.8 and $0.2$(1.2) as of December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and interest rate swap, foreign currency forward, and commodity contracts. These financial instruments, other than trade accounts receivable, are placed with high-quality financial institutions throughout the world. We periodically evaluate the credit standing of these financial institutions.



We maintain cash levels in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally-insured limits. We have not experienced, and believe we are not exposed to significant risk of, loss in these accounts.

We have credit loss exposure in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the above financial instruments, but have no other off-balance-sheet credit risk of accounting loss. We anticipate, however, that counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. We do not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but we do monitor the credit standing of counterparties.

Concentrations of credit risk arising from trade accounts receivable are due to selling to customers in a particular industry. We mitigate our credit risks by performing ongoing credit evaluations of our customers'customers’ financial conditions and obtaining collateral, advance payments, or other security when appropriate. No one customer, or group of customers that to our knowledge are under common control, accounted for more than 10% of our revenues for any period presented.

General

Numerous claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business including those relatinghave been asserted or are pending against us or certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, “claims”). These claims relate to litigation matters (e.g., class actions, derivative lawsuits and contracts, intellectual property and competitive claims), environmental matters, product liability matters (predominately associated with alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials), and other risk management matters (e.g., product and general liability, automobile, and workers'workers’ compensation claims), have been filed or are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries.. Additionally, we may become subject to significantother claims of which we are currently unaware, which may be significant, or the claims of which we are aware may result in usour incurring a significantly greater liabilityloss than we anticipate. This may also be true in connection with past or future acquisitions. While we (and our subsidiaries) maintain property, cargo, auto, product, general liability, environmental, and directors'directors’ and officers'officers’ liability insurance and have acquired rights under similar policies in connection with acquisitions that we believe cover a significant portion of these claims, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., becausein the case of insurer insolvency) to protect us against potential loss exposures. Also, while we believe we are entitled to indemnification from third parties for some of these claims, these rights may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against potential loss exposures. We believe, however, that our accruals

Our recorded liabilities related to these itemsmatters totaled $653.5 (including $605.6 for asbestos product liability matters) and $590.4 (including $534.4 for asbestos product liability matters) at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Of these amounts, $621.0 and $552.1 are sufficientincluded in “Other long-term liabilities” within our consolidated


balance sheets at December 31, 2016 and that2015, respectively, with the remainder included in “Accrued expenses.” The liabilities we record for these itemsclaims are based on a number of assumptions, including historical claims and payment experience and, with respect to asbestos claims, actuarial estimates of the future period during which additional claims are reasonably foreseeable. While we base our rightsassumptions on facts currently known to available insuranceus, they entail inherently subjective judgments and indemnity willuncertainties. As a result, our current assumptions for estimating these liabilities may not prove accurate, and we may be resolved without material effect, individually orrequired to adjust these liabilities in the aggregate,future, which could result in charges to earnings. These variances relative to current expectations could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Our asbestos-related claims are typical in certain of the industries in which we operate or pertain to legacy businesses we no longer operate. It is not unusual in these cases for fifty or more corporate entities to be named as defendants. We vigorously defend these claims, many of which are dismissed without payment, and the significant majority of costs related to these claims have historically been paid pursuant to our insurance arrangements. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, our payments for asbestos-related matters, net of insurance recoveries, were $5.8, $6.9 and $5.5, respectively. A significant increase in claims, costs and/or issues with existing insurance coverage (e.g., dispute with or insolvency of insurer(s)) could have a material adverse impact on our share of future payments related to these matters, and, as a result, have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These accruals, which are determined in accordance
We have recorded insurance recovery assets associated with the Contingencies Topic of the Codification, totaled $619.6 (including $575.4 for risk management matters)asbestos product liability matters, with such amounts totaling $564.4 and $610.1 (including $565.0 for risk management matters)$493.3 at December 31, 20142016 and 2013, respectively.

Litigation Matters

        As discussed in Note 5, theSouth Africa

The business environment surrounding our large power projects in South Africa has become increasinglyremains difficult, and the projectsas we have experienced significant delays. In addition, the projects involvedelays, cost over-runs, and various other challenges associated with a complex set of contractual relationships among the end customer, the prime contractors, various subcontractors (including us and our subcontractors), and various suppliers. We currently are currently involved in a number of claim disputes withrelating to these challenges. We are pursuing various commercial alternatives for addressing these challenges, in attempt to mitigate our overall financial exposure. During the third quarter of 2015, we gained considerable insight into the path forward for completing these projects, including our remaining scope, the estimated costs for completing such scope, and our expected recoverability of costs from the prime contractors (our immediate customers) and with certainour subcontractors. In response to this new information, we revised our estimates of our subcontractors relating to delay, additionalrevenues, costs and performance issues. profits associated with the projects. These revisions resulted in an increase in our “Loss from continuing operations before income taxes” for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $95.0, which is comprised of a reduction in revenue of $57.2 and an increase in cost of products sold of $37.8. In addition, these revisions resulted in an increase in our “Net loss” for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $71.2 and an increase in our “Loss per share of common stock” of $1.75 for the same period.
We believe that, inrecognize revenue associated with unapproved change orders and claims to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, weextent the related costs have adequately provided for those claims against us where our liabilitybeen incurred and the amount expected of recovery is probable and reasonably estimable. At December 31, 2016, the projected revenues related to our large power projects in South Africa included approximately $26.0 related to claims and unapproved change orders. We believe these amounts are recoverable under the provisions of the related contracts and reflect our best estimate of recoverable amounts.
Although we believe that our current estimates of revenues, costs and profits relating to these projects are reasonable, it is reasonably possible that our liability for certainfuture revisions of these claimssuch estimates could exceed the amount of our recorded accruals, we do not believe that the estimated amount of any potential additional liability would have a material effect individually or in the aggregate, on our consolidated financial statements.



Noncontrolling Interest in South African Subsidiary
Our South African subsidiary, DBT Technologies (PTY) LTD (“DBT”), has a Black Economic Empowerment shareholder (the “BEE Partner”) that holds a 25.1% noncontrolling interest in DBT. Under the terms of the shareholder agreement between the BEE Partner and SPX Technologies (PTY) LTD (“SPX Technologies”), the BEE Partner had the option to put its ownership interest in DBT to SPX Technologies, the majority shareholder of DBT, at a redemption amount determined in accordance with the terms of the shareholder agreement (the “Put Option”). The BEE Partner notified SPX Technologies of its intention to exercise the Put Option and, on July 6, 2016, an Arbitration Tribunal declared that the BEE Partner was entitled to South African Rand 287.3 in connection with the exercise of the Put Option, having not considered an amount due from the BEE Partner under a promissory note of South African Rand 30.3 held by SPX Technologies. As a result, we have reflected the net redemption amount of South African Rand 257.0 (or $18.5) within “Accrued expenses” on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, with the related offset recorded to “Paid-in capital” and “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” In addition, we reclassified $38.7 from “Noncontrolling Interests” to “Paid-in capital.” Lastly, under the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, we have reflected an adjustment of $18.1 to “Net income (loss) attributable to SPX Corporation common shareholders” for the excess redemption amount of the Put Option (i.e., the increase in the redemption amount during the year ended December 31, 2016 in excess of fair value) in our calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2016.
SPX Technologies disagrees with the arbitration determination and will continue to pursue all available legal recourse in this matter.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2016, in connection with our accounting for the redemption of the BEE partner’s ownership interest in DBT, we discontinued allocating earnings/losses of DBT to the BEE Partner within our consolidated financial statements.
Patent Infringement Lawsuit
Our subsidiary, SPX Cooling Technologies, Inc. (“SPXCT”), is a defendant in a legal action brought by Baltimore Aircoil Company (“BAC”) alleging that a SPXCT product infringes United States Patent No. 7,107,782, entitled “Evaporative Heat Exchanger and Method.” BAC filed suit on July 16, 2013 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the “District Court”) seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief.
On November 4, 2016, the jury for the trial in the District Court found in favor of SPXCT. The verdict by the District Court is subject to further judicial processes, including a possible appeal by BAC. We believe that we will ultimately be successful in any future judicial processes; however, to the extent we are not successful, the outcome could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Litigation Matters
We are subject to other legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. We believe these matters are either without merit or of a kind that should not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, we cannot assure you that these proceedings or claims will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

Our operations and properties are subject to federal, state, local and foreign regulatory requirements relating to environmental protection. It is our policy to comply fully with all applicable requirements. As part of our effort to comply, we have a comprehensive environmental compliance program that includes environmental audits conducted by internal and external independent professionals, as well as regular communications with our operating units regarding environmental compliance requirements and anticipated regulations. Based on current information, we believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, and we are not aware of any violations that could have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our business, financial condition, and results of operations or cash flows. As of December 31, 2014,2016, we had liabilities for site investigation and/or remediation at 9130 sites (94(35 sites at December 31, 2013)2015) that we own or control. In addition, while we believe that we maintain adequate accruals to cover the costs of site investigation and/or remediation, we cannot provide assurance that new matters, developments, laws and regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws and regulations will not materially affect our business or operations in the future.



Our environmental accruals cover anticipated costs, including investigation, remediation, and operation and maintenance of clean-up sites. Our estimates are based primarily on investigations and remediation plans established by independent consultants, regulatory agencies and potentially responsible third parties. Accordingly, our estimates may change based on future developments, including new or changes in existing environmental laws or policies, differences in costs required to complete anticipated actions from estimates provided, future findings of investigation or remediation actions, or alteration to the expected remediation plans. It is our policy to revise an estimate once it becomes probable and the amount of change can be reasonably estimated. We generally do not discount our environmental accruals and do not reduce them by anticipated insurance recoveries. We take into account third-party indemnification from financially viable parties in determining our accruals where there is no dispute regarding the right to indemnification.

In the case of contamination at offsite, third-party disposal sites, as of December 31, 2014,2016, we have been notified that we are potentially responsible and have received other notices of potential liability pursuant to various environmental laws at 2822 sites (23(24 sites at December 31, 2013)2015) at which the liability has not been settled, of which 98 sites (6(7 sites at December 31, 2013)2015) have been active in the past few years. These laws may impose liability on certain persons that are considered jointly and severally liable for the costs of investigation and remediation of hazardous substances present at these sites, regardless of fault or legality of the original disposal. These persons include the present or former owners or operators of the site and companies that generated, disposed of or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances at the site. We are considered a "de minimis"“de minimis” potentially responsible party at most of the sites, and we estimate that our aggregate liability, if any, related to these sites is not material to our consolidated financial statements. We conduct extensive environmental due diligence with respect to potential acquisitions, including environmental site assessments and such further testing as we may deem warranted. If an environmental matter is identified, we estimate the cost and either establish a liability, purchase insurance or obtain an indemnity from a financially sound seller; however, in connection with our acquisitions or dispositions, we may assume or retain significant environmental liabilities, some of which we may be unaware. The potential costs related to these environmental matters and the possible impact on future operations are uncertain due in part to the complexity of government laws and regulations and their interpretations, the varying costs and effectiveness of various clean-up technologies, the uncertain level of insurance or other types of recovery, and the questionable level of our responsibility. We record a liability when it is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

In our opinion, after considering accruals established for such purposes, the cost of remedial actions for compliance with the present laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment is not expected to have a material impact, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Self-Insured Risk Management Matters

We are self-insured for certain of our workers'workers’ compensation, automobile, product and general liability, disability and health costs, and we believe that we maintain adequate accruals to cover our retained liability. Our accruals for risk management matters are determined by us, are based on claims filed and estimates of claims incurred but not yet reported, and generally are not discounted. We consider a number of factors, including third-party actuarial valuations, when making these determinations. We maintain third-party stop-loss insurance policies to cover certain liability costs in excess of predetermined retained amounts. This insurance may be insufficient or unavailable (e.g., because of insurer insolvency) to protect us against loss exposure.

Collaborative Arrangements

        Collaborative arrangements are defined as a contractual arrangement in which the parties are (1) active participants to the arrangements and (2) exposed to significant risks and rewards that depend on the commercial success of the endeavor. Costs incurred and revenues generated from transactions with third parties are required to be reported by the collaborators on the appropriate line item in their respective statements of operations.

        We enter into consortium arrangements for certain projects within our Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segment. Under such arrangements, each consortium member is responsible for performing certain discrete items of work within the total scope of the contracted work and the consortium expires when all contractual obligations are completed. The revenues for these discrete items of work are defined in the contract with the project owner and each consortium member bearing the profitability risk associated with its own work. Our consortium arrangements typically provide that each consortium member assumes responsibility for its share of any damages or losses associated with the project; however, the use of a consortium arrangement typically results in joint and several liability for the consortium members. If responsibility cannot be determined or a consortium member defaults, then the consortium members are responsible according to their share of the contract value. Within our consolidated financial statements, we account for our share of the revenues and profits under the consortium arrangements. As of December 31, 2014, our share of the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $65.2 (of which approximately 87% had been recognized as revenue), and the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $291.1. As of December 31, 2013, our share of the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $139.3 (of which approximately 87% had been recognized as revenue), and the aggregate contract value on open consortium arrangements was $433.8. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded liabilities of $0.7 and $1.7, respectively, representing the estimated fair value of our potential obligation under the joint and several liability provisions associated with the consortium arrangements.

Executive Agreements

The Board of Directors has approved an employment agreementsagreement for six of our executives. These agreements havePresident and Chief Executive Officer.  This agreement has an initial term through December 31, 2017 and, thereafter, rolling terms of either one or two yearsyear, and specifyspecifies the executive'sexecutive’s current compensation, benefits and perquisites, severance entitlements, and other employment rights and responsibilities. In addition, oneThe Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has approved severance benefit agreements for our other six executive officerofficers. These agreements cover each executive’s entitlements in the event that the executive’s employment is terminated for other than cause, death or disability, or the executive resigns with good reason. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has an outstanding non-interest bearing 20-year relocation home loan totaling $1.5 granted in connection with the 2001 movealso approved change of control agreements for each of our corporate headquarters. In the event of the death or permanent disability of the employee orexecutive officers, which cover each executive’s entitlements following a change in control of SPX, we will forgive the note and pay the employee or his estate an amount equal to the employee's tax liability as a result of the loan forgiveness.

Stock-Based



In 2016, we retired 50.0 shares or $2,948.1 of “Common stock in treasury.” Under the applicable state law, these shares represent authorized and unissued shares upon retirement. In accordance with our accounting policy, we allocate any excess of share repurchase over par value between “Paid-in capital” and “Retained earnings,” resulting in respective reductions of $1,285.4 and $1,662.2.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Under the 2002 Stock Compensation Plan, as amended in 2006, 2011, 2012 and 2012,2015, up to 2.3052.097 shares of our common stock were available for grant at December 31, 2014.2016. The 2002 Stock Compensation Plan permits the issuance of new shares or shares from treasury upon the exercise of options, vesting of time-based restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) and performance stock units (“PSU’s”), or the granting of restricted stock shares.shares (“RS’s”). Each share of restricted stockRSU and restricted stock unitRS granted reduces availability by two shares.

        During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 Each PSU granted in 2016 reduces availability by its maximum vesting attainment of 150%, or 1.5 shares.

PSU’s, RSU’s and 2012, we classified excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation of $9.7, $6.3 and $3.8, respectively, as financing cash flows and included such amounts in "Minimum withholdings paid on behalf of employees for net share settlements, net of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options and other" within our consolidated statements of cash flows.

        Restricted stock shares or restricted stock unitsRS’s may be granted to certain eligible employees or non-employee directors in accordance with applicable equity compensation plan documents and agreements. Subject to participants'participants’ continued employment and other plan terms and conditions, the restrictions lapse and awards generally vest over a period of time, generally one or three years. In some instances, such as death, disability, or retirement, stock may vest concurrently with or following an employee'semployee’s termination.

        Each eligible non-officer employee also received awards in 2014, 2013 and 2012 that vest ratably over three years, subject only to In connection with the passage of time. Officers received awards inSpin-Off, the 2014 and 2013 that vest ratably overPSU’s were modified to allow for a minimum vesting equivalent to 50% of the underlying shares at the end of the applicable remaining service periods. In connection with this modification, we recorded additional stock compensation expense of $2.1 in 2015. The remaining 2014 and 2013 PSU’s (i.e., the remaining 50%) did not meet the required performance target for the three years subject to an internal performance metric.

        Vesting for the 2012 target performance awards was based on the SPX shareholder return versus the S&P 500 Index. On each vesting date, we compared the SPX shareholder return to the performance of the S&P 500 Index for the prior year and for the cumulative period since the date of the grant. If SPX outperformed the S&P 500 Index for the prior year, the one-third portion

Stock options may be granted to key employees in the form of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. The option price per share may be no less than the fair market value of our common stock at the close of business the day prior to the date of grant. Upon exercise, the employee has the option to surrender previously owned shares at current value in payment of the exercise price and/or for withholding tax obligations. As of December 31, 2014, we had not granted options to any of our employees since 2004, and there were no options outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The recognition of compensation expense for share-based awards, including stock options, is based on their grant date fair values. The fair value of each award is amortized over the lesser of the award'saward’s requisite or derived service period, which is generally up to three years. There was no stock option expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

These awards are eligible to vest at the end of a three-year performance measurement period, with performance based on our achievement of a target segment income amount over the three-year measurement period. Long-term incentive compensation expense for 2016 included $1.0 associated with long-term cash awards.

During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we classified excess tax benefits from long-term incentive compensation of $0.1, $0.8 and $9.7, respectively, as financing cash flows and included such amounts in “Minimum withholdings paid on behalf of employees for net share settlements, net of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options and other” within our consolidated statements of cash flows.


PSU’s
We use the Monte Carlo simulation model valuation technique to determine fair value of our restricted stock shares and restricted stock units as theyawards that contain a "market condition."market condition (i.e., the PSU’s). The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award and calculates the fair value of each restricted stock sharePSU. We issued PSU’s to eligible participants on March 2, 2016 and restricted stock unit award.January 2, 2014, while there were no PSU’s issued in 2015. We used the following assumptions in determining the fair value of the awards granted on the dates indicated below:

As of December 31, 2014,2016, there was $22.1$17.0 of unrecognized compensation cost related to restrictedPSU’s, RSU’s and RS’s. We expect this cost to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Stock Options
On March 2, 2016 and October 14, 2015, we granted stock options totaling 0.505 and 0.883, respectively, all of which were outstanding (but not exercisable) as of December 31, 2016. The exercise price per share of these options is $12.85 and restricted$12.36, respectively, and the maximum contractual term of these options is ten years.
The fair value of each stock unitoption granted on March 2, 2016 and October 14, 2015 was $4.11 and $3.76, respectively. The fair value of each option grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate1.50% 1.64%
Expected life of stock option (in years)6.0
 6.0
Annual expected stock price volatility for the March 2, 2016 grant was based on a weighted average of SPX’s stock volatility since the Spin-Off and an average of the most recent six-year historical volatility of a peer company group, while the annual expected stock price volatility for the October 14, 2015 grant was based on the six-year historical volatility of SPX’s common stock. There is no annual expected dividend yield as we discontinued dividend payments in 2015 and do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. The average risk-free interest rate is based on the five-year and seven-year treasury constant maturity rates. The expected option life is based on a three-year pro-rata vesting schedule and represents the period of time that awards are expected to be outstanding.

(15)    Fair Value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•
Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

•
Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

There were no changes during the periods presented to the valuation techniques we use to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis. Except as previously discussed in Note 10,9, there were no transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy for the periods presented.

Valuation Methodologies Used to Measure Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Parent Guarantees and Bonds Associated with Balcke Dürr—As indicated in Note 4, in connection with the sale of Balcke Dürr, existing parent company guarantees of approximately €79.0 and bank and surety bonds of approximately €79.0 will remain in place through each instrument’s expiration date, with such expiration dates ranging from 2017 to 2022. These guarantees and bonds provide protections for Balcke Dürr customers in regard to advance payments, performance, and warranties on certain existing projects. In addition, certain bonds relate to existing lease obligations and foreign tax matters. Balcke Dürr and the Buyer have provided us a full indemnity in the event that any of these guarantees or bonds are called. Also, Balcke Dürr has provided cash collateral of €4.0 and mutares AG has provided a guarantee of €5.0 as a security for the above indemnifications. The following section describesnet loss on the valuation methodologiessale of the business of $78.6 includes a charge of $5.1 associated with the estimated fair value of the guarantees and bonds, after consideration of the cash collateral and guarantee provided by Balcke Dürr and mutares AG, respectively. The fair value of the guarantees and bonds of $9.9 has been reflected within “Other long-term liabilities,” while the fair value of the associated indemnities of $4.8 has been reflected within “Other assets,” as of December 31, 2016. We estimated the fair value of the existing parent company guarantees and bank and surety bonds considering the probability of default by Balcke Dürr and an estimate of the amount we usewould be obligated to measure different financial instrumentspay in the event of a default (unobservable inputs - Level 3). We estimated the fair value of the cash collateral provided by Balcke Dürr and partial guarantee provided by mutares AG based on the terms and conditions and relative risk associated with each of these securities.
Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets— Certain of our non-financial assets are subject to impairment analysis, including long-lived assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. We review the carrying amounts of such assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable or at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. Any resulting asset impairment would require that the instrument be recorded at its fair value. As of December 31, 2016, and with the exception of the impairment charges noted below, we did not have any significant non-financial assets or liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, we concluded that the carrying value of Heat Transfer’s definite-lived intangible assets (customer relationships and technology) may not be recoverable. As a result, we performed an impairment analysis on such assets. Based on such analysis, we determined that the fair values of these assets were less than their respective carrying values, resulting in an aggregate impairment charge of $23.9. The fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset was based on the estimated future cash flows of the asset, discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows (unobservable inputs - Level 3). The fair values for the technology intangible assets were based on applying estimated royalty rates to projected revenues associated with the assets, discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the revenues and current market conditions (unobservable inputs - Level 3).
We perform our annual trademarks impairment testing during the fourth quarter, or on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment. The fair values of our trademarks are determined by applying estimated royalty rates to projected revenues, with the resulting amount discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative


risk of the revenues and current market conditions (fair value based on unobservable inputs - Level 3, as defined above). Based on our annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter of 2016, we recorded an impairment charge associated with Heat Transfer’s trademarks of $2.2. In addition, we recorded impairment charges of $4.0 and $10.9, respectively, during the first quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2014 associated with Heat Transfer’s trademarks.
During 2014, we recorded an impairment charge of $18.0 related to our former dry cooling business’s investment in a joint venture with Shanghai Electric Group Co., LTD. The fair value of the investment was based upon weighting the income and market approaches, utilizing estimated cash flows and a terminal value discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows (unobservable inputs - Level 3).

— Our financial derivative assets and liabilities include interest rate swaps, FX forward contracts, FX embedded derivatives and commodity contracts, valued using valuation models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and the credit risk of our counterparties, which comprise investment-grade financial institutions. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. We have not made any adjustments to the inputs obtained from the independent sources. Based on our continued ability to enter into forward contracts, we consider the markets for our fair value instruments active. We primarily use the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount.

As of December 31, 2014,2016, there had been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk, as the related instruments are collateralized under our senior credit facilities. Similarly, there had been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties'counterparties’ credit risks.

Investments in Equity Securities

        During 2014, we sold all our previously owned available-for-sale securities, which included equity investments traded in active international markets. These securities were measured at fair value using closing stock prices from active marketsIndebtedness and were classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. These assets had a fair market value of $3.0 at December 31, 2013, and were sold for cash proceeds of $6.7 in 2014.

        Certain of our investments in equity securities that are not readily marketable are accounted for under the fair value option and are classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy, with such values determined by multidimensional pricing models. These models consider market activity based on modeling of securities with similar credit quality, duration, yield and structure. A variety of inputs are used, including benchmark yields, reported trades, non-binding broker/dealer quotes, issuer spread and reference data including market research publications. Market indicators, industry and economic events are also considered. We have not made any adjustments to the inputs obtained from the independent sources. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, these assets had aOther— The estimated fair value of $7.4 and $1.4, respectively, which are estimated using various valuation models, including the Monte Carlo simulation model.

Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets

        Certain of our non-financial assets are subject to impairment analysis, including long-lived assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. We review therelated carrying amounts of such assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable or at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. Any resulting asset impairment would require that the instrument be recorded at its fair value. As of December 31, 2014, and with the exception of the impairment charges noted below, we did not have any significant non-financial assets or liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

        During 2014 and 2013, we recorded impairment charges of $20.1 and $6.7, respectively, related to the trademarks of certain businesses within our Flow Technology and Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segments as we determined that the fair values of the trademarks were less than the carrying values. The fair values of the trademarks were determined by applying estimated royalty rates to projected revenues, with the resulting cash flows discounted at a rate of return that reflected current market conditions (unobservable inputs — Level 3).

(All currency and share amounts are in millions, except per share and par value data)

        In addition, during 2014 we recorded an impairment charge of $18.0 related to our Cooling reporting unit's investment in the Shanghai Electric JV as we determined that the fair value of the investment was less than its carrying value. The fair value of the investment was based upon weighting the income and market approaches, utilizing estimated cash flows and a terminal value discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows (unobservable inputs — Level 3).

        During 2012, we determined that the fair value of our Cooling reporting unit was less than the carrying value of its net assets (see Note 8). The fair value of our Cooling reporting unit was based upon weighting the income and market approaches, utilizing estimated cash flows and a terminal value discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows, as well as valuation multiples derived from comparable publically-traded companies that were applied to the historical and projected operating results of the Cooling reporting unit (unobservable inputs — Level 3). We then allocated the fair value to the assets and liabilities of Cooling, which resulted in an implied value for the reporting unit's goodwill. Based on such implied value, we recorded an impairment charge related to Cooling's goodwill of $270.4. In addition, we recorded an impairment charge related to other long-term assets at Cooling of $11.0. Lastly, we recorded impairment charges of $4.5 related to trademarks for two other businesses within our Thermal Equipment and Services reportable segment. The fair values of the trademarks were determined by applying estimated royalty rates to projected revenues, with the resulting cash flows discounted at a rate of return that reflected current market conditions (unobservable inputs — Level 3).

Indebtedness and Other

        The estimated fair values of other financial liabilities (excluding capital leases) not measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

 
 December 31, 2014 December 31, 2013

Term loan

  575.0  575.0  475.0  475.0 

Other indebtedness

  181.1  181.1  27.6  27.6 

        The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments:

        The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents and receivables reported in our consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

SPX management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of December 31, 2014.2016. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation by SPX management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), no changes during the quarter ended December 31, 20142016 were identified that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management's

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control framework and processes were designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

•
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded properly to allow for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and Directors; and

•
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changing conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and concluded that, as of December 31, 2014,2016, such internal control was effective at the reasonable assurance level described above. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"(“COSO”) inInternal Control — Integrated Framework (2013).

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20142016 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included in this Form 10-K.




Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the ShareholdersStockholders and Board of Directors of SPX Corporation:

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of SPX Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"“Company”) as of December 31, 2014,2016, based on criteria established inInternal Control —- Integrated Framework (2013)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company'sCompany’s management is responsible 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'sManagement’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company'sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company'scompany’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company'scompany’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company'scompany’s board of directors, management, and other personnel 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'scompany’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 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; (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company'scompany’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014,2016, based on the criteria established inInternal Control —- Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 20142016 of the Company and our report dated February 20, 201524, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
