REGAL BELOIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 3, 2015April 2, 2016
(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet of Regal Beloit Corporation (the “Company”) as of January 3, 2015,2, 2016, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and (b) unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 and for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 and September 27, 2014April 4, 2015, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.
It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 20142015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 4, 2015.2, 2016.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial results have been made. Except as otherwise discussed, such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 2,December 31, 2016.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, allowance for doubtful accounts; excess and obsolete inventory; share-based compensation; acquisitions; product warranty obligations; pension and post retirement assets and liabilities; derivative fair values; goodwill and other asset impairments; health care reserves; retirement benefits; rebates and incentives; litigation claims and contingencies, including environmental matters; and income taxes. The Company accounts for changes to estimates and assumptions when warranted by factually based experience.
The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31.
Change in Accounting Principle
As of the beginning of its fiscal year 2016, the Company changed its inventory valuation method for Highly Inflationary Economies
the U.S. inventory of the recently acquired Power Transmission Solutions (“PTS”) business to the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method from the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. This change affects approximately 9% of the Company’s inventory. The Company believes this change in accounting principle is preferable under the circumstances because LIFO will better match current costs with current revenues since the cost of raw materials has a subsidiarybeen volatile in Venezuela using accountingrecent years, results in greater consistency in inventory costing across the organization since LIFO is the method used for highly inflationary economies. Currency restrictions enacted by the Venezuelan government have the potential to impact the abilitymajority of the Company's subsidiary to obtainother U.S. dollarsinventory, and better aligns with how management assesses the performance of the business. Because this change in exchange for Venezuelan bolivares fuertes ("Bolivars") at the official foreign exchange rate. In 2014, the Venezuelan government announced the expansion of its auction-based foreign exchange system (SICAD1). The Venezuelan government also introduced an additional auction-based foreign exchange system (SICAD2) which permitsaccounting principle was immaterial in all companies incorporatedannual or domiciled in Venezuela to bid for U.S. dollars. Effective January 3, 2015, the Company concluded thatinterim prior periods, it was appropriate to apply the SICAD2 exchange rate of 51.0 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar as management concluded that this rate best represented the economics of the Company's business activity in Venezuela at that time.

On February 12, 2015, the Venezuelan government replaced SICAD 2 with a new foreign exchange market mechanism (“SIMADI”). The Company expects to be able to access U.S. dollars through the SIMADI market. SIMADI has significantly higher foreign exchange rates than those available through the other foreign exchange mechanisms. The Company adopted the SIMADI rate after its introduction. The SIMADI exchange rate was approximately 193 Venezuelan Bolivars to the U.S. dollar as of April 4, 2015. The adoption of the SIMADI resulted in a $1.5 million pretax devaluation charge during the first quarter 2015. As of October 3, 2015 the SIMADI rate was approximately 199 Venezuelan Bolivars to the U.S. dollar.not applied retrospectively. The change in rates resulted in an insignificant translation difference, and accordingly, no corresponding devaluation was recorded in the results for the third quarter ended October 3, 2015.
Controls imposed by the Venezuelan government include import authorization controls, currency exchange and payment controls, price controls and recently enacted labor rate controls. While government restrictions and exchange rate mechanisms place some limitsdid not have a material impact on our business decisions, the consolidated financial statements reflect our Venezuela operations as a controlled subsidiary.of and for the quarter ended April 2, 2016.
Also, as of the beginning of its fiscal year 2016, the Company changed its method of calculating LIFO inventories, which represents approximately 51% of the Company’s inventory. The Company reduced the number of LIFO inventory pools to three to align with the Company’s reportable segments. Previously, the Company had 10 LIFO inventory pools, some of which crossed reportable segments. The Company believes this change in accounting principle is preferable under the circumstances because fewer pools will continuesimplify the LIFO calculations, combine inventory items with similarities within a reportable segment, and better align with how management assesses the performance of the businesses. The Company determined that it has the data needed to monitor developmentsapply this change in Venezuelaaccounting principle prospectively as of the beginning of its fiscal year 2014, but that full retrospective application is impracticable because the data is not available to assess if government restrictions and exchange rate controls evolve such that we no longer have effective controldetermine the cumulative effect of business operations.

the change. Because the effect of applying the change prospectively as of the beginning of fiscal 2014 is immaterial in any annual or interim period in fiscal years 2014 or 2015, the Company has applied this change in accounting principle prospectively from the first day of fiscal year 2016.
New Accounting Standards
In September, 2015,March, 2016 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") releasedissued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”("ASU") 2015-16,No. 2016-09, Simplifying theCompensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . The


ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for measurement-period adjustments. This ASU was issued in response to stakeholder feedback that restatements of prior periods to reflect adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination increase the costshare-based payments. Implementation and complexity of financial reporting but do not significantly improve the usefulness of the information. Under the ASU, in a business combination, an acquirer must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts thatadministration may present challenges for companies with significant share-based payment activities and there are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The ASU also requires acquirers to present separately on the face of the income statement, or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.various transition methods. The Company is required to apply theseadopt the new requirements prospectively forin the first quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods therein.2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this update will have onnew requirements to its consolidated financial statements.

In August, 2015,March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated With Line-of-Credit Arrangements — Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting to clarify the SEC staff's position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements given the absence of authoritative guidance on this topic in ASU 2015-03. The SEC staff has announced that it would "not object to any entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement". The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements
In July, 2015, the FASB released ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. Under this ASU, companies are required to measure inventory using the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU impacts companies who use the first-in, first-out method (FIFO), the average costing method, or methods of inventory measurement other than the last-in, first-out (LIFO) and retail inventory methods, which have been excluded from the scope of this ASU due to the substantial cost and burden of transitioning these methods. The Company is required to apply these new requirements prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including the interim periods therein. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In April, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investment in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share ("NAV") (or its Equivalent). This ASU removes from the fair value hierarchy, investments for which the practical expedient is used to measure fair value at NAV. Instead, an entity is required to include those investments as a reconciling line item so that the total fair value amount of investments in the disclosure is consistent with the amount on the balance sheet. Further, entities must provide the disclosure only for investments for which they elect to use the NAV practical expedient to determine fair value. For public companies, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In April, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-04, Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer's Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets, which permits a reporting entity with a fiscal year-end that does not coincide with a month-end to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the entity's fiscal year-end and apply that practical expedient consistently from year to year. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance should be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The new guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May, 2014, the FASB issuedASU 2014-09,No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versusNet), which amends the principal-versus-agent implementation guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued by the FASB in May 2014. ASU No. 2016-08 clarifies the principal-versus-agent guidance in Topic 606 and requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise to provide goods or services to a customer is performed in a principal or agent capacity and to recognize revenue in a gross or net manner based on its principal/agent designation. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. This update requires the Company to recognize revenue at amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those

10



goods or services at the time of transfer. In doing so, the Company will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. Such estimates include identifying performance obligations in the contracts, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The Company can either apply a full retrospective adoption or a modified retrospective adoption. The Company is required to adopt the new requirements in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new requirements to its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The core principle of ASU 2016-02 is that an entity should recognize on its balance sheet assets and liabilities arising from a lease. In accordance with that principle, ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on the lease classification as a finance or operating lease. This new accounting guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 under a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The fair values of identifiable intangible assets, which were primarily customer relationships, trade names, and technology, were based on valuations using the income approach. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies and expected growth opportunities. The Company estimates a majorityApproximately 65% of goodwill will be deductible for United States income tax purposes.

The New Credit Agreement
In connection with the PTS Acquisition, on January 30, 2015, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and the lenders named therein, providing for a (i) 5-year unsecured term loan facility in the principal amount of $1.25 billion (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a 5-year unsecured multicurrency revolving facility in the principal amount of $500.0 million (the “Multicurrency Revolving Facility”) available for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement replaced the Prior Credit Agreement, and the Multicurrency Revolving Facility replaced the Prior Revolving Facility (further discussed below).
The Term Facility was drawn in full on January 30, 2015 in connection with the closing of the PTS Acquisition.  The loans under the Term Facility require quarterly amortization at a rate starting at 5.0% per annum, increasing to 7.5% per annum after two years and further increasing to 10.0% per annum for the last two years of the Term Facility. At October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 the Company had borrowings under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility in the amount of $16.0$36.0 million, $32.9$34.6 million of standby letters of credit issued under the facility, and $451.1$429.4 million of available borrowing capacity.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at floating rates based upon indices determined by the currency of the borrowing, plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the Company's consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio or at an alternative base rate. The weighted average interest rate on the Credit AgreementMulticurrency Revolving Facility was 1.9% duringfor the ninethree months ended October 3,April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015. The weighted average interest rate on the Term Facility was 1.9% for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015. The Company pays a non-use fee on the aggregate unused amount of the Multicurrency Revolving Facility at a rate determined by reference to its consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company prepay the loans under the Term Facility with 100% of the net cash proceeds received from specified asset sales and in currencies of borrowed money indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions.

Senior Notes
At October 3, 2015,April 2, 2016, the Company had $600.0 million of senior notes (the “Notes”) outstanding.

Financial Covenants

The Prior Credit Agreement and Prior Revolving Facility
On June 30, 2011,the Notes require the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) that provided for an aggregate amount of availability under a revolving credit facility of $500.0 million, including a $100.0 million letter of credit subfacility (the “Prior Revolving Facility”). The Prior Credit Agreementto meet specified financial ratios and Prior Revolving Facility were replaced with the new Credit Agreement (discussed above).to satisfy certain financial condition tests.
The Prior Revolving Facility permitted borrowing at interest rates based upon a margin above LIBOR. At January 3, 2015, the Company had $17.0 million outstanding on the Prior Revolving Facility. The balance on the Prior Revolving Facility was fully paid on January 27, 2015.
Other Notes Payable

At January 3, 2015,April 2, 2016, other notes payable of approximately $16.8$15.1 million were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 2.7%. At January 2, 2016, other notes payable of approximately $15.5 million were outstanding with a weighted average rate of 2.5%.
Fair Value
Based on rates for instruments with comparable maturities and credit quality, which are classified as Level 2 inputs (see also Note 14 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the approximate fair value of the Company's total debt was $1,849.9$1,743.1 million and $666.8$1,758.2 million as of October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015,2, 2016, respectively.

The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for defined benefit pensionpost retirement plans that will be amortized from Accumulated Other Comprehensive LossAOCI into net periodic benefit cost during the 20152016 fiscal year is $4.6$3.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
For the three months ended October 3,April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015, and September 27, 2014, the Company contributed $0.8$1.1 million and $0.9$0.8 million, respectively, to defined benefit pension plans. For the nine months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014, the Company contributed $2.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, to defined benefit pensionpost retirement plans. The Company expects to make total contributions of $3.3$4.6 million in 2015.2016. The Company contributed a total of $3.1$4.7 million in fiscal 2014.2015. The assumptions used in the valuation of the Company’s pensionpost retirement plans and in the target investment allocation have remained the same as those disclosed in the Company’s 20142015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 4, 2015.2, 2016.
Beginning in 2016, the Company changed the method used to estimate the service and interest cost components of the net periodic pension and other post retirement benefit costs. The new method uses the spot yield curve approach to estimate the service and interest costs by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used to determine the benefit obligations to relevant projected cash outflows. The change will not affect the measurement of the total benefit obligations as the change in service and interest costs is offset in the actuarial gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income. The methodology of selecting a discount rate that matches each plan's cash flows to that of a theoretical bond portfolio yield curve will continue be used to value the benefit obligation at the end of each year. The Company changed to the new method to provide a more precise measure of interest and service costs by improving the correlation between the projected benefit cash flows and the discrete spot yield curve rates. The Company has accounted for this change as a change in estimate prospectively and is expected to result in a $2.9 million reduction in expense for fiscal 2016 as compared to the previous method.

Approximately 2.0 million shares were available for future grant under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan at October 3, 2015.April 2, 2016.

Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
The Company uses several forms of share-based incentive awards, including non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, and stock settled stock appreciation rights (“SAR's”SARs”).

10. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 was 25.2%23.0% versus 27.1%26.0% for the three months ended September 27, 2014April 4, 2015. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 3, 2015 was 25.7% versus 26.6% for the nine months ended September 27, 2014. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 was primarily driven by the mix of earnings. For the nine months ended October 3, 2015, the change in the effective tax rate was driven by the mix of earnings and partially offset by the non-deductible acquisition costs of the PTS acquisition. The lower effective rate as compared to the 35.0% statutory Federal income tax rate is driven by lower foreign tax rates.
As of October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 and January 3, 20152, 2016, the Company had approximately $4.7$8.8 million and $5.88.3 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized. Potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense.
With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal and state/local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010,2011, and the Company is no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2008.2009.
11. EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")
Diluted earnings per share is computed based upon earnings applicable to common shares divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the effect of other dilutive securities. Options for common shares where the exercise price was above the market price have been excluded from the calculation of effect of dilutive securities shown below; the amount of the anti-dilutive shares were 0.81.2 million and 0.60.2 million for the three months ended October 3,April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015, and September 27, 2014 and 0.3 million and 0.3 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 respectively.

13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are commodity price, currency exchange and interest rate risk. Forward contracts on certain commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in the Company’s manufacturing process. Forward contracts on certain currencies are entered into to manage forecasted cash flows in certain foreign currencies. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s floating rate borrowings.
The Company must recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company designates commodity forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases of commodities, currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency cash flows and interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of forecasted LIBOR-based interest payments. There were no significant collateral deposits on derivative financial instruments as of October 3, 2015April 2, 2016.
Cash flow hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or changes in market value of derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized in current earnings. All derivative instruments used by the Company impact operating cash flows.

14. FAIR VALUE

The Company uses a three-tier hierarchy to assess the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities.
 
Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or
 Unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or
 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
Level 3Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

The Company uses the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair valuevalues of the Company's cash equivalents and term deposits accounts receivableapproximate their carrying values as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, due to the short period of time to maturity and are classified using Level 1 inputs. The fair values of trade receivables and accounts payable approximated book value as of October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015, respectively,approximate the carrying values due to their short-term nature.the short period of time to maturity. See Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosure of the approximate fair value of the Company's debt at October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 and January 3, 20152, 2016.
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 and January 3, 20152, 2016 (in millions):

15. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIESAND RELATED COSTS
Beginning in 2013,2014, the Company announced the closure of several of its manufacturing and warehouse facilities and consolidation into existing facilities to simplify manufacturing operations in its Commercial and Industrial Systems, Climate Solutions and Power Transmission Solutions segments. As a result of these closures, the Company incurred expenses includingrestructuring and restructuring-related costs. Restructuring costs includes employee termination and plant relocation costs. TheRestructuring-related costs includes costs directly associated with actions resulting from our simplification initiatives, such as asset write-downs or accelerated depreciation due to shortened useful lives in connection with site closures, discretionary employment benefit costs and other facility rationalization costs. Restructuring costs for employee termination expenses are generally required to be accrued over the employees remaining service period while therestructuring costs for plant relocation costs and restructuring-related costs are generally required to be expensed as incurred.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On April 28, 2016 the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Mastergear Worldwide ("Mastergear") business to Rotork PLC for $25.0 million. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2016. Mastergear is included in the Company's Power Transmission Solutions segment.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Item 2 to “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer collectively to Regal Beloit Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Overview
Regal Beloit Corporation (NYSE: RBC), based in Beloit, Wisconsin (USA), is a leading manufacturer of electric motors, electrical motion controls, power generation and power transmission products serving markets throughout the world.

Reportable Segments

Our company is comprised of three reportable segments: Commercial and Industrial Systems, Climate Solutions and Power Transmission Solutions. A description of ourthe three reportable segments is as follows:

Commercial and Industrial Systems produces medium and large motors, commercial and industrial equipment, generatorsgenerator and custom drives and systems. These products serve markets including commercial HVAC,Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning ("HVAC"), pool and spa, standby and critical power and oil and gas systems.

Climate Solutions produces small motors, controls and air moving solutions serving markets including residential and light commercial HVAC, water heaters and commercial refrigeration.

Power Transmission Solutions produces power transmission products includingmanufactures, sells and services belt and chain drives, helical and worm gearing, mounted and unmounted bearings, couplings, modular plastic belts, conveying chains and components, hydraulic pump drives, large open gearing and specialty mechanical products serving markets including materialbeverage, bulk handling, industrial equipment,metals, special machinery, energy, aerospace and off-road equipment.general industrial.

Components of Profit and Loss
Net Sales. We sell our products to a variety of manufacturers, distributors and end users. Our customers consist of a large cross-section of businesses, ranging from Fortune 100 companies to small businesses. A number of our products are sold to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) who incorporate our products, such as electric motors, into products they manufacture, and many of our products are built to the requirements of our customers. The majority of our sales derive from direct sales, but a significant portion derives from sales made by manufacturer’s representatives, who are paid exclusively on commission. Our product sales are made via purchase order, long-term contract, and, in some instances, one-time purchases. Many of our products have broad customer bases, with the levels of concentration of revenues varying from divisionsegment to division.segment.

Our level of net sales for any given period is dependent upon a number of factors, including (i) the demand for our products; (ii) the strength of the economy generally and the end markets in which we compete; (iii) our customers’ perceptions of our product quality at any given time; (iv) our ability to timely meet customer demands; (v) the selling price of our products; and (vi) the weather. As a result, our total revenue has tended to experience quarterly variations and our total revenue for any particular quarter may not be indicative of future results.

We use the term “organic sales" to refer to sales from existing operations excluding (i) sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition less the amount of sales attributable to any divested businesses (“acquisition sales”), and (ii) the impact of foreign currency translation. The impact of foreign currency translation is determined by translating the respective period’s sales (excluding acquisition sales) using the same currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior year periods. We use the term “organic sales growth” to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to organic sales. We use the term “acquisition growth” to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to acquisition sales.
 
Gross Profit. Our gross profit is impacted by our levels of net sales and cost of sales. Our cost of sales consists of costs for, among other things (i) raw materials, including copper, steel and aluminum; (ii) components such as castings, bars, tools, bearings and electronics; (iii) wages and related personnel expenses for fabrication, assembly and logistics personnel; (iv) manufacturing


facilities, including depreciation on our manufacturing facilities and equipment, taxes, insurance and utilities; and (v) shipping and handling.

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses consist primarily of (i) general and administrative expenses; (ii) sales and marketing expenses; and (iii) general engineering and research and development expenses. Personnel related costs are our largest operating expense.

Operating Profit. Our operating profit consists of the segment gross profit less the segment operating expenses. In addition, there are shared operating expenses that cover corporate, engineering and IT expenses that are consistently allocated to the operating

36



segments and are included in the segment operating expenses. Operating profit is a key metric used to measure year over year improvement of the segments.

Restructuring Activities.and Related Costs. Beginning in 2013,2014, we announced the closure of several of our manufacturing and warehouse facilities and consolidation into existing facilities to simplify manufacturing operations in theour Commercial and Industrial Systems, Climate Solutions and ClimatePower Transmission Solutions segments. As a result of these closures, we incurred expenses includingrestructuring and restructuring-related costs. Restructuring costs includes employee termination and plant relocation costs. TheRestructuring-related costs includes costs directly associated with actions resulting from our simplification initiatives, such as asset write-downs or accelerated depreciation due to shortened useful lives in connection with site closures, discretionary employment benefit costs and other facility rationalization costs. Restructuring costs for employee termination expenses are generally required to be accrued over the employees remaining service period while therestructuring costs for plant relocation costs and restructuring-related costs are generally required to be expensed as incurred. We expect to announce additional restructuring activities as part
Outlook
Our outlook for 2016 assumes that the weak demand from many of our simplification initiative to improve our competitiveness in the global market and to align our manufacturing footprint to better serve ourend markets and customers.

PTS Acquisition
On January 30, 2015, we closed the acquisition of the Power Transmission Solutions business from Emerson Electric Co. ("PTS" and the “PTS Acquisition”). PTS has over 3,200 employees around the world, and effective on the closing date became part of the Power Transmission Solutions segment. PTS manufactures, sells and services belt and chain drives, helical and worm gearing, mounted and unmounted bearings, couplings, modular plastic belts and conveying chains and components. These products are used to transmit power mechanically, provide anti-friction support or to enable automated materials handling in a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications including beverage, bulk handling, metals, special machinery, oil and gas, aerospace and general industrial. They are marketed under industry leading brands including Browning®, Jaure®, Kop-Flex®, McGill®, Morse®, Rollway®, Sealmaster® and System Plast™.

Venezuela
We have a subsidiary in Venezuela using accounting for highly inflationary economies. Currency restrictions enacted by the Venezuelan government have the potential to impact the ability of our subsidiary to obtain U.S. dollars in exchange for Venezuelan bolivares fuertes ("Bolivars") at the official foreign exchange rate.
Although the functional currency of our operations in Venezuela is the U.S. dollar, a portion of the transactions are denominated in local currency. Effective January 3, 2015, we began applying the SICAD II exchange rate of 51 Bolivars per U.S. dollar to re-measure local currency and balances into U.S. dollars. During the first quarter of 2015, the Venezuelan government announced changes to its exchange rate system that included the launch of a new, market -based system known as the SIMADI. We adopted the SIMADI rate after its introduction. The SIMADI exchange rate was approximately 193 Venezuelan Bolivars to the U.S. dollar as of April 4, 2015. The adoption of the SIMADI resulted in a $1.5 million pretax devaluation chargeexperienced during the first quarter 2015. Assecond half of October 3,fiscal 2015 the SIMADI rate was approximately 199 Venezuelan Bolivars to the U.S. dollar. The change in rates resulted in an insignificant translation difference, and accordingly, no corresponding devaluation was recorded in the results for the third quarter ended October 3, 2015.
Wewill continue to experience delays in collecting paymentthrough fiscal 2016, putting pressure on our receivables from certain customers in Venezuela.  As of October 3, 2015, our net trade receivables in Venezuela were $9.0 million, or less than 2.0% of our total gross trade receivables. None of these receivables are in dispute. We cannot predict whether we will receive payment in full on these receivables, or the timing of such payments. Failure to receive such payments could result in reserving or writing down these outstanding amounts, which would have a further adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Controls imposed by the Venezuelan government include import authorization controls, currency exchange and payment controls, price controls and recently enacted labor rate controls. While government restrictions and exchange rate mechanisms place some limits on our business decisions, the consolidated financial statements reflect our Venezuela operations as a controlled subsidiary. We will continue to monitor developments in Venezuela to assess if government restrictions and exchange rate controls evolve such that we no longer have effective control of business operations.

Outlook
We expect our 2015 net sales to increase over the prior year driven primarily by net acquisition growth. In 2015, we also expect organic growth to be challenged by the declining sales trends for products used in oil and gas applications and declining sales trends in Asia. Additionally, we expect to see an adverse impact on net sales from the fluctuation in currency translation. Finally, we expect our 2015 earnings per share to increase over the prior year due to the PTS Acquisition and benefits from our simplification initiative.earnings.

The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 was primarily driven by the mix of earnings. For the nine months ended October 3, 2015, the change in the effective tax rate was driven by the mix of earnings and partially offset by the non-deductible acquisition costs of the PTS Acquisition. The lower effective rate as compared to the 35.0% statutory Federal income tax rate is driven by lower foreign tax rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow provided by operating activities. In addition to operating income, other significant factors affecting our operating cash flow include working capital levels, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions, availability of debt financing, and the ability to attract long-term capital at acceptable terms.



Cash flow provided by operating activities was $267.2$58.2 million for the ninethree months ended October 3, 2015,April 2, 2016, a $40.1$40.7 million increase from the ninethree months ended September 27, 2014 due to higherApril 4, 2015. The increase was primarily the result of the lower investment in net working capital and increased net income increase in depreciation and amortization, partially offset by an increase in working capital assetsfrom PTS for the three months ended April 2, 2016 as compared to support the seasonal increases in sales as well as the PTS Acquisition.three months ended April 4, 2015.

Cash flow used in investing activities was $1,464.0$16.6 million for the ninethree months ended October 3, 2015, an increase of $1,261.7April 2, 2016, a $1,391.5 million decrease from the ninethree months ended September 27, 2014April 4, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the PTS Acquisition.2015 acquisition of PTS. There were no business acquisitions for the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to $1,392.5 million for the three months ended April 4, 2015. Capital expenditures were $65.4$14.9 million for the ninethree months ended October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 compared to $60.5$21.2 million for the ninethree months ended September 27, 2014. Business acquisitions were $1,400.7April 4, 2015.

Cash flow used in financing activities was $46.6 million for the ninethree months ended October 3, 2015,April 2, 2016, compared to $128.2$1,288.1 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2014, driven by the PTS Acquisition.
Cash flow provided by financing activities for the ninethree months ended October 3, 2015 was $1,124.0April 4, 2015. Net debt repayments were $17.3 million for the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to $160.3$15.7 million of cash flow used in financing activities for the ninethree months ended September 27, 2014. The principal financing activityApril 4, 2015. We paid $10.2 million in dividends to shareholders in the three months ended April 2, 2016, compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended April 4, 2015. Cash used to purchase additional interest in joint ventures was $19.6 million for the $1,250.0three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to $0.8 million borrowing underfor the Term Facility (see "The New Credit Agreement" below for description).three months ended April 4, 2015.

Our working capital was $1,104.9$1,067.6 million at October 3, 2015April 2, 2016, compared to $1,090.7$1,022.4 million at January 3, 2015.2, 2016. At October 3, 2015,April 2, 2016, our current ratio (which is the ratio of our current assets to current liabilities) was 2.6:2.8:1 compared to 2.9:2.7:1 at January 3, 2015.2, 2016. Our current ratio increased primarily due to an increase in Trade Receivables of $36.1 million at April 2, 2016 as compared to January 2, 2016.

At October 3, 2015,April 2, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $254.6$249.1 million. At October 3, 2015, $249.8April 2, 2016, $239.6 million ofof our cash was held by foreign subsidiaries, and although we do not intend to, this cash could be used in our domestic operations if necessary, but would be subject to repatriation taxes. There are no current trends, demands or uncertainties that we believe are reasonably likely to require repatriation or to have a material impact on our ability to fund our U.S. operations.

Predominately all of our expenses are paid in cash, often with payment term provisions that include early payment discounts and time elements. We believe that our ability to generate positive cash flow coupled with our available revolving credit balance will be sufficient to fund our operations for the foreseeable future. We focus on optimizing our investment in working capital through improved and enforced payment terms, maintaining an optimal level of inventory and operational efficiencies. Additionally, we believe that our capital expenditures for maintenance of equipment and facilities will be consistent with prior levels and not present a funding challenge.

We will, from time to time, maintain excess cash balances which may be used to (i) fund operations, (ii) repay outstanding debt, (iii) fund acquisitions, (iv) pay dividends, (v) make investments in new product development programs, (vi) repurchase our common stock, or (vii) fund other corporate objectives.

Senior Notes
At October 3, 2015, we had $600.0 million of senior notes (the “Notes”) outstanding. The Notes consist of (i) $500.0 million in senior notes (the “2011 Notes”) issued in a private placement in seven tranches with maturities from seven to twelve years and carrying fixed interest rates and (ii) $100.0 million in senior notes (the “2007 Notes”) issued in 2007 with a floating interest rate based on a margin over the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).

We have interest rate swap agreements to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk (see also Note 13 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
The New Credit Agreement

In connection with the PTS Acquisition, on January 30, 2015, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and the lenders named therein, providing for a (i) 5-year unsecured term loan facility in the principal amount of $1.25 billion (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a 5-year unsecured multicurrency revolving facility in the principal amount of $500.0 million (the “Multicurrency Revolving Facility”) available for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement replaced the Prior Credit Agreement (as that term is defined below), and the Multicurrency Revolving Facility replaced the Prior Revolving Facility (as that term is defined below).
The Term Facility was drawn in full on January 30, 2015 in connection with the closing of the PTS Acquisition.  The loans under the Term Facility require quarterly amortization at a rate starting at 5.0% per annum, increasing to 7.5% per annum after two years


and further increasing to 10.0% per annum for the last two years of the Term Facility. At April 2, 2016 we had borrowings under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility in the amount of $36.0 million, $34.6 million of standby letters of credit issued under the facility, and $429.4 million of available borrowing capacity.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at floating rates based upon indices determined by the currency of the borrowing, plus an applicable margin determined by reference to our consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio or at an alternative base rate. The weighted average interest rate on the Credit AgreementMulticurrency Revolving Facility was 1.9 % for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015. The weighted average interest rate on the Term Facility was 1.9% duringfor the ninethree months ended October 3,April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015. We pay a non-use fee on the aggregate unused amount of the Multicurrency Revolving Facility at a rate determined by reference to its consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio.
The Credit Agreement requires us tothat we prepay the loans under the Term Facility with 100% of the net cash proceeds received from specified asset sales and in currencies of borrowed money indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions.

Compliance with Financial Covenants

The Credit Agreement and Prior Revolving Facility
On June 30, 2011, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) that provided for an aggregate amount of availability under a revolving credit facility of $500.0 million, including a $100.0 million letter of credit subfacility (the “Prior Revolving Facility”). The Priorthe Notes require us to meet specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial condition tests. We were in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the Notes and the Credit Agreement and Prior Revolving Facility were replaced with the new Credit Agreement (discussed above).as of April 2, 2016.
The Prior Revolving Facility permitted borrowing at interest rates based upon a margin above LIBOR. At January 3, 2015, we had $17.0 million outstanding on the Prior Revolving Facility. The balance on the Prior Revolving Facility was fully paid on January 27, 2015.
Other Notes Payable

At October 3, 2015, other notes payable of $19.6 million were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 2.6%. At January 3, 2015,April 2, 2016, other notes payable of approximately $16.8$15.1 million were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 2.7%. At January 2, 2016, other notes payable of approximately $15.5 million were outstanding with a weighted average rate of 2.5%.

Fair Value
Based on rates for instruments with comparable maturities and credit quality, which are classified as Level 2 inputs (see also Note 14 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the approximate fair value of our total debt was $1,849.9$1,743.1 million and $666.8$1,758.2 million as of October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015,2, 2016, respectively.
Compliance with Financial Covenants
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for an unsecured financing arrangement, including, among other things, limitations on consolidations, mergers and sales of assets. The Credit Agreement and the Notes require us to meet specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial condition tests. We were in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the Notes as of October 3, 2015.
Critical Accounting Policies

Our disclosures of critical accounting policies, which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2015,2, 2016, have not materially changed since that report was filed.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk relating to our operations due to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices of purchased raw materials. We manage the exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating and financing activities and derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, commodity cash flow hedges and foreign currency forward exchange contracts. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to clearly defined policies and procedures, which strictly prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative purposes.
All qualified hedges are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with changes in fair value recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive IncomeLoss (“AOCI”) in each accounting period. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value, if any, is recorded in earnings in the period of change.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk on certain of our short-term and long-term debt obligations used to finance our operations and acquisitions. At October 3, 2015,April 2, 2016, excluding the impact of the interest rate swap, we had $505.7$505.5 million of fixed rate debt and $1,308.0$1,213.7 million of variable rate debt. As a result, interest rate changes in variable rate debt impact future earnings and cash flow assuming other factors are constant. We utilize our interest rate swap to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from exposure to interest rate risk on forecasted variable rate interest payments. We have LIBOR-based floating rate borrowings, which expose us to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 10% change in the weighted average borrowing rate on outstanding variable rate debt at October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 would result in a $1.3 million change in after-tax annualized earnings.
We entered into a pay fixed/receive LIBOR-based floating interest rate swap to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. This interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge against forecasted LIBOR-based interest payments. Details regarding this instrument, as of October 3, 2015,April 2, 2016, are as follows (in millions):

As of October 3, 2015,April 2, 2016, an interest rate swap liability of $(9.6)$(7.0) million was included in Hedging Obligations (noncurrent). As of January 3, 2015,2, 2016, an interest rate swap liability of $(11.9)$(7.8) million was included in Hedging Obligations (noncurrent). The unrealized loss on the effective portion of the contracts,contract, net of tax, of $(6.0)$(4.3) million and $(13.5)$(4.9) million as of October 3, 2015April 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015,2, 2016, respectively, was recorded in AOCI.

Foreign Currency Risk
We are also exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our objective is to minimize our exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating activities and the utilization of foreign currency exchange contracts. We do not hedge our exposure to the translation of reported results of foreign subsidiaries from local currency to United States dollars.
Venezuela
We expect the uncertain economic business conditions in Venezuela to adversely impact our sales and operating margins in future quarters. For the nine months ended October 3, 2015, net sales in Venezuela were less than one percent of our total net sales.
We have a subsidiary in Venezuela using accounting for highly inflationary economies. Currency restrictions enacted by the Venezuelan government have the potential to impact the ability of the Company's subsidiary to obtain U.S. dollars in exchange for Venezuelan bolivares fuertes ("Bolivars") at the official foreign exchange rate. In 2014, the Venezuelan government announced the expansion of its auction-based foreign exchange system (SICAD1). The Venezuelan government also introduced an additional auction-based foreign exchange system (SICAD2) which permits all companies incorporated or domiciled in Venezuela to bid for U.S. dollars. Effective January 3, 2015, we concluded that it was appropriate to apply the SICAD2 exchange rate of 51.0 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar as we believe that this rate best represented the economics of our business activity in Venezuela at that time.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Venezuelan government announced changes to its exchange rate system that included the launch of a new, market -based system known as the SIMADI. We adopted the SIMADI rate after its introduction. The SIMADI exchange rate was approximately 193 Venezuelan Bolivars to the U.S. dollar as of April 4, 2015. The adoption of the SIMADI resulted in a $1.5 million pretax devaluation charge during the first quarter 2015. As of October 3, 2015 the SIMADI rate was

44



approximately 199 Venezuelan Bolivars to the U.S. dollar. The change in rates resulted in an insignificant translation difference, and accordingly, no corresponding devaluation was recorded in the results for the third quarter ended October 3, 2015.

Controls imposed by the Venezuelan government include import authorization controls, currency exchange and payment controls, price controls and recently enacted labor rate controls. While government restrictions and exchange rate mechanisms place some limits on our business decisions, the consolidated financial statements reflect our Venezuela operations as a controlled subsidiary. We will continue to monitor developments in Venezuela to assess if government restrictions and exchange rate controls evolve such that we no longer have effective control of business operations.

Derivatives
As of October 3, 2015,April 2, 2016, derivative currency assets (liabilities) of $2.1$1.7 million, $0.7$0.9 million, $(32.5)$(26.8) million and $(21.4)$(14.9) million, are recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets, Other Noncurrent Assets, Hedging Obligations (current), and Hedging Obligations (noncurrent), respectively.

Gains and losses indicated in the sensitivity analysis would be offset by gains and losses on the underlying forecasted non-U.S. dollar denominated cash flows.
Commodity Price Risk
We periodically enter into commodity hedging transactions to reduce the impact of changing prices for certain commodities such as copper and aluminum based upon forecasted purchases of such commodities. The majority of these transactions are designated as cash flow hedges and the contract terms of commodity hedge instruments generally mirror those of the hedged item, providing a high degree of risk reduction and correlation.
Derivatives

Counterparty Risk
We are exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to various financial agreements, including our interest rate swap agreement, foreign currency exchange contracts and commodity hedging transactions. We manage exposure to counterparty credit risk by limiting our counterparties to major international banks and financial institutions meeting established credit guidelines and continually monitoring their compliance with the credit guidelines. We do not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. We do not anticipate non-performance by our counterparties, but cannot provide assurances.
