LENNOX INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. General:

References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to "we," "our," "us," "LII," or the "Company" refer to Lennox International Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014March 31, 2015, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014March 31, 2015 and 20132014, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014March 31, 2015 and 20132014, and the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 20142015 and 20132014 should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20132014. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

Our fiscal year ends on December 31 and each quarter is comprised of 13 weeks. For convenience, throughout these financial statements, the 13 weeks comprising each quarterly period are denoted by the last day of the respective calendar quarter.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, contingencies, guarantee obligations, indemnifications, and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, pension and post-retirement medical benefits, and stock-based compensation among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on our best estimates and judgment.

We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. We believe these estimates and assumptions to be reasonable under the circumstances and will adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Volatile equity, foreign currency and commodity markets combine to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision and actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts have been reclassified from the prior year presentation to conform to the current year presentation.

Change in method of accounting for evaluating goodwill for impairment

The annual goodwill impairment test was performed during the first quarter of 2014, and no impairment was recognized. During the third quarter of 2014, we changed the date of our annual goodwill impairment test from March 31st to December 31st. The change was made to more closely align the impairment testing date with the year-end results and may result in impairment charges identified in the fourth quarter.

The change in goodwill impairment testing date is deemed a change in accounting principle. Management believes that the change in accounting principle will not delay, accelerate, or avoid a goodwill impairment charge. Management determined that the change in accounting principle is preferable under the circumstances and does not result in adjustments to our financial statements when applied retrospectively.

We continue to monitor our reporting units for indicators of impairment throughout the year. Referyear to Note 1 for information about thedetermine if a change in facts or circumstances warrants a re-evaluation of our method of accounting for evaluating goodwill for impairment.goodwill.

4. Derivatives:

Objectives and Strategies for Using Derivative Instruments

Commodity Price Risk - We utilize a cash flow hedging program to mitigate our exposure to volatility in the prices of metal commodities used in our production processes. Our hedging program includes the use of futures contracts to lock in prices, and as a result, we are subject to derivative losses should the metal commodity prices decrease and gains should the prices increase. We utilize a dollar cost averaging strategy so that a higher percentage of commodity price exposures are hedged near-term and lower percentages hedged at future dates. This strategy allows for protection against near-term price volatility while allowing us to adjust to market price movements over time.

Interest Rate Risk - A portion of our debt bears interest at variable rates, and as a result, we are subject to variability in the cash paid for interest. To mitigate a portion of that risk, we may choose to engage in an interest rate swap hedging strategy to eliminate the variability of interest payment cash flows. We are not currently hedged against interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Risk - Foreign currency exchange rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the U.S. dollar value of assets and liabilities arising in foreign currencies. We seek to mitigate the impact of currency exchange rate movements on certain short-term transactions by periodically entering into foreign currency forward contracts. These forward contracts are not designated as hedges and generally expire during the quarter that we enter into them. By entering into forward contracts, we lock in exchange rates that would otherwise cause losses should the U.S. dollar appreciate and gains should the U.S. dollar depreciate.

Cash Flow Hedges

We have commodity futures contracts designated as cash flow hedges that are scheduled to mature through MarchSeptember 2016. Unrealized gains or losses from our cash flow hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) and are

5. Income Taxes:

As of September 30, 2014March 31, 2015, we had approximately $1.51.6 million in total gross unrecognized tax benefits. Of this amount, $1.2 million (net of federal benefit on state issues), if recognized, would be recorded through the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2014March 31, 2015, we had approximately $0.40.2 million (net of federal tax benefits) in interest and penalties recognized in income tax expense in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740.

We are currently under examination for our U.S. federal income taxes under the Internal Revenue Service's Compliance Assurance Program for 20132015 and 2014 and are subject to examination by numerous other taxing authorities in the U.S. and in jurisdictions such as Australia, Belgium, France, Canada, and Germany. We are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years prior to 2008.

Since January 1, 2014, numerous states, including Indiana, New York and Rhode Island and the District of Columbia, have enacted legislation effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, including changes to rates, apportionment methodologies and unitary reporting requirements. The impact of these changes is immaterial.2009.

6. Commitments and Contingencies:

Product Warranties and Product Related Contingencies

We offer warranties to customers for some of our products and record liabilities for estimated future warranty-related costs based on failure rates, cost experience and other factors. We periodically review the assumptions used to determine the product warranty liabilities and will adjust the liabilities in future periods for changes in assumptions, as necessary.

Liabilities for estimated product warranty costs related to continuing operations are included in the following captions on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

These productbrands,  we have repaired or replaced installed products experiencing quality-related issues, and will likely continue such repairs and replacements.   We currently estimate our probable liability for a supplier quality issues may be caused by vendor-supplied components that fail to meet required specifications.
Weissue within a range of $2.2 million and $6 million; accordingly, we have liabilities for non-warranty product quality issues related toaccrued a heating and cooling product line produced in 2006 and 2007 that we believe resulted from vendor-supplied materials.

The $2.2 million accrual is not included in the aboveestimated warranty liabilities tables related to our estimated product warranty liabilities. We may incur additional charges for these product quality issues in the future as more information becomes available.immediately above. 

Litigation

We are involved in a number of claims and lawsuits incident to the operation of our businesses. Insurance coverages are maintained and estimated costs are recorded for such claims and lawsuits, including costs to settle claims and lawsuits, based on experience involving similar matters and specific facts known. Costs related to such matters were not material to the periods presented.

Some of these claims and lawsuits allege personal injury or health problems resulting from exposure to asbestos that was integrated into certain of our products. We have never manufactured asbestos and have not incorporated asbestos-containing

9


components into our products for several decades. A substantial majority of asbestos-related claims have been covered by insurance or other forms of indemnity or have been dismissed without payment. The remainder of our closed cases have been resolved for amounts that are not material, individually or in the aggregate. Our defense costs for asbestos-related claims are generally covered by insurance; however, our insurance coverage for settlements and judgments for asbestos-related claims vary depending on several factors and are subject to policy limits. As a result, we may have greater financial exposure for future settlements and judgments. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2014March 31, 2015, and 2013,2014, expense for asbestos-related litigation was $1.0$0.1 million, and $0.5$0.2 million, net of insurance recoveries, respectively.

We are the defendant in an attempted class action lawsuit which alleges thatalleging evaporator coils in certain of our residential air conditioning products are susceptible to a type of corrosion that can result in coil leaks, and asserts claims for relief.leaks.  We dispute the allegations in the lawsuit.  The outcome relatedWe have reached tentative settlement terms and recorded a liability of $2.4 million in Accrued Expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.   Any additional liability resulting from the proposed settlement is not currently reasonably estimable, but we do not expect the proposed settlement to this action is uncertain and we therefore cannot reasonably estimate the amounthave a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of any potential impact.operations.

It is management's opinion that none of these claims or lawsuits or any threatened litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Claims and lawsuits, however, involve uncertainties and it is possible that their eventual outcome could adversely affect our results of operations for a particular period.

Foreign Obligations

Through several of our foreign subsidiaries, we have facilities available to assist in financing seasonal borrowing needs for our foreign locations. We had $9.05.3 million and $5.9$6.6 million of foreign obligations as of September 30, 2014March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2013,2014, respectively, that were primarily borrowings under non-committed facilities. Proceeds on these facilities were $11.0 million and $20.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Repayments on the facilities were $11.2 million and $18.1 million and during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Asset Securitization Program

Under the Asset Securitization Program (“ASP”), we are eligible to sell beneficial interests in a portion of our trade accounts receivable to participating financial institutions for cash. The ASP is subject to annual renewal and contains a provision whereby we retain the right to repurchase all of the outstanding beneficial interests transferred. Our continued involvement with the transferred assets includes servicing, collection and administration of the transferred beneficial interests. The accounts receivable securitized under the ASP are high-quality domestic customer accounts that have not aged significantly. The receivables represented

10


by the retained interest that we service are exposed to risk of loss for any uncollectible amounts in the pool of receivables sold under the ASP. The fair values assigned to the retained and transferred interests are based on the sold accounts receivable carrying value given the short term to maturity and low credit risk. The sale of the beneficial interests in our trade accounts receivable are reflected as short-term borrowings in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and proceeds received are included in cash flows from financing activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

TheIn November 2014, we amended the ASP, provides for aextending its term to November 13, 2015 and increasing the maximum securitization amount ranging from $160.0a range of $160.0 million to $220.0 million to a range of $180.0 million to $220.0 million, depending on the period. The maximum capacity under the ASP is the lesser of the maximum securitization amount or 100% of the net pool balance less allowances, as defined by the ASP. Eligibility for securitization is limited based on the amount and quality of the qualifying accounts receivable and is calculated monthly. The eligible amounts available and beneficial interests sold were as follows (in millions):
As of September 30, 2014 As of December 31, 2013As of March 31, 2015 As of December 31, 2014

We pay certain discount fees to use the ASP and to have the facility available to us. These fees relate to both the used and unused portions of the securitization. The used fee is based on the beneficial interest sold and calculated on the average LIBOR rate or floating commercial paper rate determined by the purchaser of the beneficial interest, plus a program fee of 0.60%. The average rate for both September 30, 2014March 31, 2015 and December 31, 20132014 was 0.77%0.79% and 0.78% respectively.. The unused fee is based on 101% of the maximum available amount less the beneficial interest sold and is calculated at a 0.30% fixed rate throughout the term of the agreement. In addition, a 0.05% unused fee is charged on incremental available amounts above $160$180 million during certain months of the year. We recorded these fees in Interest expense, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The ASP contains certain restrictive covenants relating to the quality of our accounts receivable and certain cross-default provisions with our FourthFifth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement ("Domestic Revolving Credit Facility"), senior unsecured notes and any other indebtedness we may have over $75.0 million. The administrative agent under the ASP is also a participant in our Domestic Revolving Credit Facility. The participating financial institutions have investment grade credit ratings. We continue to evaluate their credit ratings and have no reason to believe they will not perform under the ASP. As of September 30, 2014March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenant requirements.

Long-Term Debt

Domestic Revolving Credit Facility

On November 13, 2014, we replaced our $650 million Domestic Revolving Credit Facility with a $950 million Domestic Credit Facility, which consists of a $650 million revolving credit facility and a $300 million term loan and matures in November 2019 (the "Maturity Date"). Under our $650.0950.0 million Domestic Revolving Credit Facility, we had outstanding borrowings of $149.0683.5 million as well as $27.2 million committed to standby letters of credit as of September 30, 2014March 31, 2015. Subject to covenant limitations, $473.8239.3 million was available for future borrowings. The Domestic Revolving Credit Facility provides for issuanceunsecured $300 million term loan also matures on the Maturity Date and requires quarterly principal repayments of $7.5 million beginning on June 30, 2015. The revolving credit facility allows up to $150 million of letters of credit to be issued and also includes a subfacility for the full amountswingline loans of the credit facility and matures in October 2016.up to $65 million. Additionally, at our request and subject to certain conditions, the commitments under the Domestic Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by a maximum of $100350 million as long as existing or new lenders agree to provide such additional commitments.

Our weighted average borrowing rate on the facility was as follows:
 As of September 30, 2014 As of December 31, 2013
Weighted average borrowing rate1.38% 1.17%
 As of March 31, 2015 As of December 31, 2014
Weighted average borrowing rate1.66% 1.88%
Our Domestic Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and contains financial covenants relating to leverage and interest coverage. Other covenants contained in the Domestic Revolving Credit Facility restrict, among other things, certain mergers, asset dispositions, guarantees, debt, liens, and affiliate transactions. The financial covenants require us to maintain a defined Consolidated Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio and a Cash Flow (defined as EBITDA minus capital expenditures) to Net

11



Interest Expense Ratio. The required ratios under our Domestic Revolving Credit Facility are detailed below:
 
Consolidated Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio no greater than3.5 : 1.0
Cash Flow to Net Interest Expense Ratio no less than3.0 : 1.0
Our Domestic Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default. These events of default include nonpayment of principal or interest, breach of covenants or other restrictions or requirements, default on certain other indebtedness or receivables securitizations (cross default), and bankruptcy. A cross default under our Domestic Revolving Credit Facility could occur if:
We fail to pay any principal or interest when due on any other indebtedness or receivables securitization of at least $75.0 million; or
We are in default in the performance of, or compliance with any term of any other indebtedness or receivables securitization in an aggregate principal amount of at least $75.0 million or any other condition exists which would give the holders the right to declare such indebtedness due and payable prior to its stated maturity.

Each of our major debt agreements contains provisions by which a default under one agreement causes a default in the others (a "cross default"). If a cross default under the Domestic Revolving Credit Facility, our senior unsecured notes, the Lake Park Renewal (recorded as an operating lease), or our ASP were to occur, it could have a wider impact on our liquidity than might otherwise occur from a default of a single debt instrument or lease commitment. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, lenders with a majority of the aggregate commitments may require the administrative agent to terminate our right to borrow under our Domestic Revolving Credit Facility and accelerate amounts due under our Domestic Revolving Credit Facility (except for a bankruptcy event of default, in which case such amounts will automatically become due and payable and the lenders’ commitments will automatically terminate). As of September 30, 2014March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenant requirements.

Senior Unsecured Notes

We issued $200.0 million of senior unsecured notes in May 2010 through a public offering. Interest is paid semiannually on May 15 and November 15 at a fixed interest rate of 4.90% per annum. These notes mature on May 15, 2017. The notes are guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by each of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantee payment by us of any indebtedness under our Domestic Revolving Credit Facility. The indenture governing the notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of the subsidiary guarantors to: create or incur certain liens; enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions; enter into certain mergers, consolidations and transfers of substantially all of our assets; and transfer certain properties. The indenture also contains a cross default provision which is triggered if we default on other debt of at least $75.0 million in principal which is then accelerated, and such acceleration is not rescinded within 30 days of the notice date. As of September 30, 2014March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenant requirements.

The Share Repurchase Plans authorize open market repurchase transactions and do not have an expiration date. There were no additional share repurchase authorizations in the first ninethree months of 2014.

12. Restructuring Charges:

We record restructuring charges associated with management-approved restructuring plans when we reorganize or remove duplicative headcount and infrastructure within our businesses. Restructuring charges include severance costs to eliminate a specified number of employees, infrastructure charges to vacate facilities and consolidate operations, contract cancellation costs and other related activities. The timing of associated cash payments is dependent upon the type of restructuring charge and can extend over a multi-year period. Restructuring charges are not included in our calculation of segment profit (loss), as more fully explained in Note 15.

13. Discontinued Operations:

On March 22, 2013, we sold our Service Experts business to a majority-owned entity of American Capital, Ltd. (the "Buyer") in an all-cash transaction for net proceeds of $10.4 million, excluding transaction costs. We also entered into a two-year equipment and parts supply agreement with the Buyer. In April 2012, we sold our Hearth business to Comvest Investment Partners IV in an all-cash transaction for net proceeds of $10.1 million, excluding the transaction costs and cash transferred with the business.

There were no assets and liabilities related to the Service Experts or Hearth businesses included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2014March 31, 2015 or December 31, 20132014, except for insurance casualty loss reserves which we retained after the respective transactions. The gains and losses on the sale of these businesses and their operating results for all periods are presented in discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table provides a summary of net trade sales, pre-tax operating income (loss) and other supplemental information related to discontinued operations (in millions):

14. Earnings Per Share:

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares and the number of equivalent shares assumed outstanding, if dilutive, under our stock-based compensation plans.

The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for Net income were as follows (in millions, except per share data):

15. Reportable Business Segments:

We operate in three reportable business segments of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVACR”) industry. Our segments are organized primarily by the nature of the products and services we provide. The following table describes each segment:
 
Segment Product or Services Markets Served Geographic Areas
Residential Heating & Cooling Furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, packaged heating and cooling systems, indoor air quality equipment, comfort control products, replacement parts 
Residential Replacement;
Residential New Construction
 
United States
Canada
Commercial Heating & Cooling Unitary heating and air conditioning equipment, applied systems, controls, installation and service of commercial heating and cooling equipment Light Commercial 
United States
Canada
Europe
Refrigeration Condensing units, unit coolers, fluid coolers, air cooled condensers, air handlers, process chillers, controls, compressorized racks, supermarket display cases and systems 
Light Commercial;
Food Preservation;
Non-Food/Industrial
 
United States
Canada
Europe
Asia Pacific
South America


We use segment profit or loss as the primary measure of profitability to evaluate operating performance and to allocate capital resources. We define segment profit or loss as a segment’s income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, excluding certain items. The reconciliation below details the items excluded.

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

As they arise, transactions between segments are recorded on an arm’s-length basis using the relevant market prices. Any intercompany sales and associated profit (and any other intercompany items) are eliminated from segment results. There were no significant intercompany eliminations for the periods presented below.as follows.

Total Assets by Segment

Except for the seasonal increase in total assets across all reportable segments, there have not been any material changes in the composition of total assets by segment since December 31, 2013.2014.

16. Fair Value Measurements:

Fair Value Hierarchy
The methodologies used to determine the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2014March 31, 2015 were the same as those used at December 31, 2013.2014.

18



Assets and Liabilities Carried at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Derivatives

Derivatives were classified as Level 2 and primarily valued using estimated future cash flows based on observed prices from exchange-traded derivatives. We also considered the counterparty's creditworthiness, or our own creditworthiness, as appropriate. Adjustments were recorded to reflect the risk of credit default, however, they were insignificant to the overall value of the derivatives. Refer to Note 4 for more information related to our derivative instruments.

Marketable Equity Securities

The following table presents the fair values of an investment in marketable equity securities, classified as Level 1 and related to publicly traded stock of a non-U.S. company, recorded in Other assets, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):
 As of September 30, 2014 As of December 31, 2013
Investment in marketable equity securities$6.7
 $4.4
 As of March 31, 2015 As of December 31, 2014
Investment in marketable equity securities$5.5
 $5.3
 
Other Fair Value Disclosures

The carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts and notes receivable, net, Accounts payable, Other current liabilities, and Short-term debt approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The carrying amount of our Domestic Revolving Credit Facility in Long-term debt also approximates fair value due to its variable-rate characteristics.

The fair value of our senior unsecured notes in Long-term debt, classified as Level 2, was based on the amount of future cash flows using current market rates for debt instruments of similar maturities and credit risk. The following table presents their fair value (in millions):
 As of September 30, 2014 As of December 31, 2013
Senior unsecured notes$213.9
 $214.0
 As of March 31, 2015 As of December 31, 2014
Senior unsecured notes$214.8
 $210.6

17. Subsequent Events:
On October 17, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $700.0 million towards our Share Repurchase Plans. This is in addition to the amounts set forth in Note 10 and results in a total of $845.9 million that may be used, subject to certain conditions, under the Share Repurchase Plans. On October 20, 2014, we announced our plans for a new $450.0 million accelerated share repurchase program in October, 2014.

On October 20, 2014, the Company entered into a short term loan agreement (the “Short-Term Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. to borrow, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions, up to $250.0 million. The Short-Term Facility is guaranteed by the same subsidiaries as our Domestic Revolving Credit Facility, and contains substantially similar financial and other covenants as described in Note 7. The Short-Term Facility will become due on March 31, 2015, and allows for pre-payment. The Company intends to use the borrowings under the Short-Term Facility, along with borrowings under the Domestic Revolving Credit Facility, to fund the expected $450.0 million accelerated share repurchase program.

18. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements:

The Company’s senior unsecured notes are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) and are not secured by our other subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned, all guarantees are full and unconditional, and all guarantees are joint and several. As a result of the guarantee arrangements, we are required to present the following condensed consolidating financial statements.

The condensed consolidating financial statements reflect the investments in subsidiaries of the Company using the equity method of accounting. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Condensed consolidating financial statements of the Company, its Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2014March 31, 2015 and December 31, 20132014 and for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2015 and 2014 and 2013 are shown on the following pages.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are based on information currently available to management as well as management’s assumptions and beliefs. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to statements identified by the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimate” and “expect” and similar expressions. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events, based on what we believe are reasonable assumptions; however, such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. In addition to the specific uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the risk factors set forth in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013,2014, and those set forth in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this report, if any, may affect our performance and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or review any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Business Overview

We operate in three reportable business segments of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVACR”) industry. Our reportable segments are Residential Heating & Cooling, Commercial Heating & Cooling, and Refrigeration. For additional information regarding our reportable segments, see Note 15 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our fiscal year ends on December 31 and our interim fiscal quarters are each comprised of 13 weeks. For convenience, throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the 13-week periods comprising each fiscal quarter are denoted by the last day of the calendar quarter.

We sell our products and services through a combination of direct sales, distributors and company-owned parts and supplies stores. The demand for our products and services is seasonal and significantly impacted by the weather. Warmer than normal summer temperatures generate demand for replacement air conditioning and refrigeration products and services, and colder than normal winter temperatures have a similar effect on heating products and services. Conversely, cooler than normal summers and warmer than normal winters depress the demand for HVACR products and services. In addition to weather, demand for our products and services is influenced by national and regional economic and demographic factors, such as interest rates, the availability of financing, regional population and employment trends, new construction, general economic conditions and consumer spending habits and confidence. A substantial portion of the sales in each of our business segments is attributable to replacement business, with the balance comprised of new construction business.

The principal elements of cost of goods sold are components, raw materials, factory overhead, labor, estimated warranty costs, and freight and distribution costs. The principal raw materials used in our manufacturing processes are steel, copper and aluminum. In recent years, pricingPricing volatility for these commodities and related components have impactedimpact us and the HVACR industry in general. We seek to mitigate the impact of higher commodity prices through a combination of price increases, commodity contracts, improved production efficiency and cost reduction initiatives. We also partially mitigate volatility in the prices of these commodities by entering into futures contracts and fixed forward contracts.

Overview of Results

ThirdOn a consolidated basis, net sales decreased 1% primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by increased volume and improved price and mix. Our gross profit margin decreased from 24.2% as of March 31, 2014 to 23.8% as of March 31, 2015. Selling, general & administrative expenses (“SG&A”) as a percentage of net sales were constant quarter over quarter at 19.5%. Operational income from continuing operations decreased $7 million quarter over quarter due primarily to investments in distribution, lower refrigerant pricing on our Australia wholesale business and unfavorable mix, partially offset by increased material cost savings.

The Residential Heating & Cooling segment led our overall operational performance in the first quarter of 2015, with a 6% increase in net sales and a $7 million increase in segment profit compared to the first quarter of 2014. This segment benefited from market growth and material cost savings. Sales in the Commercial Heating & Cooling segment decreased 8% and segment profit declined $3 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. This segment's sales were down due to timing of certain National Account business which we expect to ship in the remaining quarters of 2015 as well as unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates. Sales in the Refrigeration segment were down 9% and segment profit declined $8 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. This segment had reduced profitability due to the Australian carbon levy repeal, unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, unfavorable mix and factory investments for future growth. Also, Corporate and Other expenses increased by $1 million primarily due to general wage and cost inflation.

Net Sales

Net sales increased 4% in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013, with sales volumes up 4% and price and mix up 1%. The volume increases were driven by our Residential Heating & Cooling and Commercial Heating & Cooling segments capturing additional replacement and new construction business. Partially offsetting these increases was a 1% decrease from unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.

Gross Profit

Gross profit margins in the first nine months of 2014 decreased 20 bps to 27% compared to the first nine months of 2013. Improvements of 120 bps from material cost savings were offset by 10 bps from unfavorable price and mix, 20 bps from unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, 50 bps for investments in distribution and other growth initiatives, and 60 bps from increased total other product costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A was $426 million for the first nine months of 2014 compared to $424 million for the first nine months of 2013, and as a percentage of net sales, declined 60 bps from 17.3% to 16.7%. The largest driver of the decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales was lower incentive compensation.

Income Taxes

The Provision for income taxes was $87 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to $78 million in the first nine months of 2013. The effective tax rate was 34.8% for the first nine months of 2014 compared to 34.7% for the first nine months of 2013. Our effective tax rates differ from the statutory federal rate of 35% for certain items, including tax credits, state and local taxes, non-deductible expenses, foreign taxes at rates other than 35% and other permanent tax differences.

The $3 million decrease in the first nine months of 2013. This decrease wasnet cash used in operating activities quarter over quarter is primarily attributable to the seasonal increase in working capital requirements and higherin 2015 being smaller than the increase in 2014. However, this favorable cash flow impact was offset by increased income tax payments in 2014 due to2015 and an unfavorable impact from timing of payments partially offset by higher net income.in the ordinary course of business.

Financial Leverage

Our debt-to-total-capital ratio increased to 101.5% at March 31, 2015 from 99.0% at December 31, 2014 due to the increase in our net borrowings, as noted above. We periodically review our capital structure to ensure the appropriate levels of leverage and liquidity. We may access the capital markets, as necessary, based on business needs and to take advantage of favorable interest rate environments or other

We also evaluate our debt-to-capital and debt-to-EBITDA ratios to determine, among other considerations, the appropriate targets for capital expenditures and share repurchases under our share repurchase programs.

Liquidity

We believe our cash and cash equivalents of $4837 million, future cash generated from operations and available future borrowings are sufficient to fund operations, planned capital expenditures, future contractual obligations, share repurchases, anticipated dividends and other needs in the foreseeable future. Included in our cash and cash equivalents of $4837 million as of September 30, 2014March 31, 2015 was $31.5$24 million of cash held in foreign locations. Our cash held in foreign locations is used for investing and operating activities in those locations, and we currently do not have the need or intent to repatriate those funds to the United States. If we were to repatriate this cash, we would be required to accrue and pay taxes in the United States for the amounts that were repatriated.

Our expected capital expenditures for 20142015 are $90$85 million. We also continue to increase shareholder value through dividend payments and our share repurchase programs, with targetsthe completion of $150 million in share repurchases under the existingour $450 accelerated share repurchase programsprogram in 2015 and a target of between $50$55 million and $55$60 million of dividend payments in 2014.2015.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

In addition to the credit facilities, promissory notes and leasing commitments described above, we also lease real estate and machinery and equipment pursuant to operating leases that are not capitalized on the balance sheet, including high-turnover equipment such as autos and service vehicles and short-lived equipment such as personal computers. Our operating lease commitments have not materially changed since December 31, 2013.2014.

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. ASU No. 2015-01 eliminates the concept of an extraordinary item from GAAP. As a result, an entity will no longer be required to separately present an extraordinary item on its statement of operations, net of tax, after income from continuing operations or to disclose income taxes and net income per share data applicable to an extraordinary item. However, ASU No. 2015-01 will still retain the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature and occur infrequently. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, although early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to materially impact our consolidated financial statements, absent any material transactions in future periods that would have qualified for extraordinary item presentation under the prior guidance.
In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, or ASU 2015-02, which amends the criteria for determining which entities are considered variable interest entities (“VIEs”), amends the criteria for determining if a service provider possesses a variable interest in a VIE and ends the deferral granted to investment companies for application of the VIE consolidation model. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting LII, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.2014.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures


36


As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our current management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2014March 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2014March 31, 2015 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in a number of claims and lawsuits incident to the operation of our businesses. Insurance coverages are maintained and estimated costs are recorded for such claims and lawsuits. It is management's opinion that none of these claims or lawsuits will have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
