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, 2014, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 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, 2013. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 31^st to December 31^st. 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.

2. Inventories:

The components of inventories are as follows (in millions):



	As of September 30, 2014			As of December 31, 2013
Finished goods	$	357.4		$	251.4
Work in process	14.4			11.8
Raw materials and parts	199.2			188.9
Subtotal	571.0			452.1
Excess of current cost over last-in, first-out cost	(69.5		)	(73.3		)
Total inventories, net	$	501.5		$	378.8

3. Goodwill:

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the first nine months of 2014, in total and by segment, are summarized in the table below (in millions):



	Balance at December 31, 2013		Acquisitions / (Dispositions)		Other ⁽¹⁾			Balance at September 30, 2014
Residential Heating & Cooling	$	26.1	$	—	$	—		$	26.1
Commercial Heating & Cooling	64.6		—		(1.4		)	63.2
Refrigeration	126.1		—		(1.3		)	124.8
Total Goodwill	$	216.8	$	—	$	(2.7	)	$	214.1

⁽¹⁾ Other consists of changes in foreign currency translation rates.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment test in the first quarter of 2014, and based on a qualitative assessment of impairment indicators for each of our reporting units, did not record any goodwill impairments. We continue to monitor our reporting units for indicators of impairment throughout the year. Refer to Note 1 for information about the change in our method of accounting for evaluating goodwill for impairment.

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 March 2016. Unrealized gains or losses from our cash flow hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) and are

expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 18 months based on the prices of the commodities at the settlement dates. We recorded the following amounts in AOCL related to our cash flow hedges (in millions):



	As of September 30, 2014			As of December 31, 2013
Unrealized losses on unsettled futures contracts	$	2.7		$	0.8
Income tax benefit	(1.0		)	(0.2		)
Losses included in AOCL, net of tax ⁽¹⁾	$	1.7		$	0.6

⁽¹⁾ Assuming commodity prices remain constant, we expect to reclassify $2.5 million of derivative losses into earnings within the next 12 months.

We had the following outstanding commodity futures contracts designated as cash flow hedges (in millions of pounds):



	As of September 30, 2014	As of December 31, 2013
Copper	25.3	22.9

Derivatives not Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

For commodity derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, we follow the same hedging strategy as derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, except that we elect not to designate them as cash flow hedges at the inception of the arrangement. We had the following outstanding commodity futures contracts not designated as cash flow hedges (in millions of pounds):



	As of September 30, 2014	As of December 31, 2013
Copper	2.4	2.0
Aluminum	2.7	2.7

We also had the following outstanding foreign currency forward contracts not designated as cash flow hedges (in millions):



	As of September 30, 2014	As of December 31, 2013
Notional Amounts (in local currency):
Brazilian Real	2.3	1.2
Mexican Peso	102.9	130.0
United States Dollar	1.9	—
British Pound	1.4	3.4
Indian Rupee	—	28.0

⁽¹⁾ The loss was recorded in Cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

⁽²⁾ The loss (gain) was recorded in Losses (gains) and other expenses, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

5. Income Taxes:

As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately $1.5 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, 2014, we had approximately $0.4 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 for 2013 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.

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):



	As of September 30, 2014		As of December 31, 2013
Accrued expenses	$	27.5	$	28.7
Other liabilities	58.6		52.9
Total warranty liability	$	86.1	$	81.6

The changes in product warranty liabilities related to continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were as follows (in millions):



Total warranty liability as of December 31, 2013	$	81.6
Warranty claims paid	(16.6		)
Changes resulting from issuance of new warranties	24.1
Changes in estimates associated with pre-existing liabilities	(2.3		)
Changes in foreign currency translation rates and other	(0.7		)
Total warranty liability as of September 30, 2014	$	86.1

We may also incur costs related to our products that may not be covered under our warranties and are not covered by insurance, and from time to time, we may repair or replace installed products experiencing quality issues in order to satisfy our customers and to protect our brand. These product quality issues may be caused by vendor-supplied components that fail to meet required specifications.

We have liabilities for non-warranty product quality issues related to a heating and cooling product line produced in 2006 and 2007 that we believe resulted from vendor-supplied materials. The changes in the accrued product quality issues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were as follows (in millions):

The expenses related to these product quality issues were classified in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the related liabilities are included in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The expenses for these product quality issues, and the related liabilities, are not included in the above 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.

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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014, and 2013, expense for asbestos-related litigation was $1.0 million, and $0.5 million, net of insurance recoveries, respectively.

We are the defendant in an attempted class action lawsuit which alleges that 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. We dispute the allegations in the lawsuit. The outcome related to this action is uncertain and we therefore cannot reasonably estimate the amount of any potential impact.

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.

Short-Term Debt

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 $9.0 million and $5.9 million of foreign obligations as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, that were primarily borrowings under non-committed facilities.

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 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.

The ASP provides for a maximum securitization amount ranging from $160.0 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, 2013
Eligible amount available under the ASP on qualified accounts receivable	$	220.0	$	160.0
Beneficial interest sold	220.0		160.0
Remaining amount available	$	—	$	—

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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was 0.77% 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 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 Fourth 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, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenant requirements.

Long-Term Debt

Domestic Revolving Credit Facility

Under our $650.0 million Domestic Revolving Credit Facility, we had outstanding borrowings of $149.0 million as well as $27.2 million committed to standby letters of credit as of September 30, 2014. Subject to covenant limitations, $473.8 million was available for future borrowings. The Domestic Revolving Credit Facility provides for issuance of letters of credit for the full amount of the credit facility and matures in October 2016. Additionally, at our request and subject to certain conditions, the commitments under the Domestic Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by a maximum of $100 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 rate	1.38	%	1.17	%

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 Interest Expense Ratio. The required ratios under our Domestic Revolving Credit Facility are detailed below:



Consolidated Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio no greater than	3.5 : 1.0
Cash Flow to Net Interest Expense Ratio no less than	3.0 : 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, 2014, 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, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenant requirements.

10. Stock Repurchases:

Our Board of Directors has authorized a total of $700.0 million towards the repurchase of shares of our common stock (collectively referred to as the "Share Repurchase Plans"). 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 nine months of 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we repurchased 1.1 million shares for $100.3 million under the Share Repurchase Plans. As of September 30, 2014, $145.9 million of shares may yet be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Plans.

We also repurchased 0.1 million shares for $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from employees who surrendered their shares to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations upon the exercise of long-term incentive awards.

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, 2014 or December 31, 2013, 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):



	For the Three Months Ended September 30,					For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013			2014			2013
Net income	$	67.4	$	64.3		$	161.2		$	136.6
Add: Loss from discontinued operations	0.1		1.5			0.8			9.3
Income from continuing operations	$	67.5	$	65.8		$	162.0		$	145.9

Weighted-average shares outstanding – basic	48.3		49.7			48.7			50.0
Add: Potential effect of dilutive securities attributable to stock-based payments	0.7		0.8			0.8			0.8
Weighted-average shares outstanding – diluted	49.0		50.5			49.5			50.8

Earnings per share – Basic:
Income from continuing operations	$	1.40	$	1.32		$	3.33		$	2.92
Loss from discontinued operations	—		(0.03		)	(0.02		)	(0.19		)
Net income	$	1.40	$	1.29		$	3.31		$	2.73

Earnings per share – Diluted:
Income from continuing operations	$	1.38	$	1.30		$	3.27		$	2.87
Loss from discontinued operations	—		(0.03		)	(0.01		)	(0.18		)
Net income	$	1.38	$	1.27		$	3.26		$	2.69

The following stock appreciation rights were outstanding but not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because the assumed exercise of such rights would have been anti-dilutive (in millions, except for per share data):



	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Weighted-average number of shares	0.3		—		0.3		—
Price range per share		$81.11 - $81.14	$	—		$81.11 - $81.14	$	—

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.

Segment Data

Net sales and segment profit (loss) for each segment, along with a reconciliation of segment profit (loss) to Income from continuing operations before income taxes, are shown below (in millions):

•	Special product quality adjustments;


•	The following items in Losses (gains) and other expenses, net:


◦	Net change in unrealized gains and/or losses on unsettled futures contracts,


◦	Special legal contingency charges,


◦	Asbestos-related litigation,


◦	Environmental liabilities, and


◦	Other items, net;


•	Restructuring charges;


•	Goodwill, long-lived asset, and equity method investment impairments;

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.

16. Fair Value Measurements:

Fair Value Hierarchy

The methodologies used to determine the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2014 were the same as those used at December 31, 2013.

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

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

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, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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, 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, pricing volatility for these commodities and related components have impacted 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.

Net Sales

Net sales increased 4% in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013, primarily from 3% higher sales volumes and 1% favorable price and mix. The Residential Heating & Cooling and Commercial Heating & Cooling segments delivered higher volume by capturing additional replacement and new construction business.

Gross Profit

Gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2014 increased 10 basis points ("bps") to 27.5% compared to the third quarter of 2013. Lower material costs increased our profit margin by 100 bps and volume increased our profit margin by 10 bps. Offsetting these increases were decreases due to 10 bps of unfavorable mix and price, 40 bps from lower refrigerant pricing on our Australia wholesale business when compared to the prior year quarter, 10 bps from unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact, and 40 bps for investments in distribution and other growth initiatives with the balance from other cost changes.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A was $141 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $137 million in the third quarter of 2013, and as a percentage of net sales was relatively flat.

Losses (gains) and Other Expenses, Net

Losses (gains) and other expenses, net for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013 included the following (in millions):



	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013
Realized losses on settled future contracts	$	0.1	$	0.4
Foreign currency exchange losses (gains)	0.1		(0.5		)
Loss on disposal of fixed assets	0.1		—
Net change in unrealized losses (gains) on unsettled futures contracts	0.2		(1.1		)
Special legal contingency charges	0.5		0.8
Asbestos-related litigation	0.4		—
Environmental liabilities	0.7		—
Other items, net	—		0.1
Losses (gains) and other expenses, net	$	2.1	$	(0.3	)

The net change in unrealized losses (gains) on unsettled futures contracts was due to lower commodity prices relative to the

unsettled futures contract prices. For more information on our futures contracts, see Note 4 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Foreign currency exchange losses (gains) increased in the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to the Australian and Canadian dollar exchange rates. For more information on asbestos-related litigation, see Note 6 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges increased to $1 million in the third quarter of 2014 while minimal restructuring charges were incurred in the third quarter of 2013. The increase was for a new project to realign accountabilities and enhance distribution capabilities. For additional information on our restructuring activities, refer to Note 12 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income from Equity Method Investments

We participate in two joint ventures that are engaged in the manufacture and sale of compressors, unit coolers and condensing units. We exert significant influence over these affiliates based upon our ownerships, but do not control them due to venture partner participation. Accordingly, these joint ventures have been accounted for under the equity method and their financial position and results of operations are not consolidated. Income from equity method investments of $4 million in the third quarter of 2014 increased slightly over the third quarter of 2013 due to improved operating results from our joint ventures.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net was $4 million in the third quarter of 2014 and was flat compared to the third quarter of 2013. The impact of the increase in our average net borrowings was offset by a slight decline in weighted average borrowing rates over the comparable periods.

Income Taxes

The Provision for income taxes was $35 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $34 million in the third quarter of 2013. The effective tax rate remained unchanged at 34.2% for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter 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.

Third Quarter of 2014 Compared to Third Quarter of 2013 - Results by Segment

Residential Heating & Cooling

The following table presents our Residential Heating & Cooling segment's net sales and profit for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013 (dollars in millions):



	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			Difference		% Change
Net sales	$	462.6		$	433.9		$	28.7	6.6	%
Profit	$	69.4		$	57.0		$	12.4	21.8	%
% of net sales	15.0		%	13.1		%

Net sales increased by 7% in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013. Volume increased by 6% due to industry growth and market share gains and favorable price and mix increased net sales by 1%.

Segment profit for the third quarter of 2014 increased $12 million due to $7 million in material cost savings, $6 million in higher sales volumes, $2 million from favorable price, and $1 million from favorable other product cost changes. Partially offsetting these increases was $1 million of unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, $1 million of higher SG&A expenses, and $2 million from investments in distribution.

Commercial Heating & Cooling

The following table presents our Commercial Heating & Cooling segment's net sales and profit for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013 (dollars in millions):



	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			Difference		% Change
Net sales	$	241.6		$	239.1		$	2.5	1.0	%
Profit	$	42.2		$	39.2		$	3.0	7.7	%
% of net sales	17.5		%	16.4		%

Net sales increased 1% in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013 due primarily to volume increases in our North American service business.

Segment profit in the third quarter of 2014 increased $3 million compared to the third quarter of 2013, with increases of $1 million from higher sales volumes, $2 million in material cost savings, and $1 million from favorable price and mix. Partially offsetting these increases was a total of $1 million higher SG&A expenses including start-up costs to enter the Variable Refrigerant Flow ("VRF") market.

Refrigeration

The following table presents our Refrigeration segment's net sales and profit for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013 (dollars in millions):



	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			Difference			% Change
Net sales	$	194.2		$	195.0		$	(0.8	)	(0.4	)%
Profit	$	16.5		$	23.9		$	(7.4	)	(31.0	)%
% of net sales	8.5		%	12.3		%

Net sales were relatively flat in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013, with favorable mix and price and favorable foreign currency exchange rates, offset by a negative impact to the profitability of our refrigerant business in Australia due to the repeal of the carbon tax.

Segment profit for the third quarter of 2014 decreased $7 million compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to $4 million from unfavorable mix, $3 million lower profitability in our Australia refrigerant business, and $1 million of costs related to investments for future growth, offset by a $1 million increase from favorable price.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other expenses increased $1 million to $18 million in the third quarter of 2014 from $17 million in the third quarter of 2013 due primarily to higher wages and other administrative expenses.

Year-to-Date through September 30, 2014 Compared to Year-to-Date through September 30, 2013 - Consolidated Results

The following table provides a summary of our financial results, including information presented as a percentage of net sales:



	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	Dollars (in millions)						Percent Change Fav/(Unfav)		Percent of Sales
	2014			2013			Percent Change Fav/(Unfav)		2014		2013

Operational income from continuing operations	$	259.6		$	234.1		10.9		10.2	%	9.6	%

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.

Losses and Other Expenses, Net

Losses and other expenses, net for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013 included the following (in millions):



	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013
Realized losses on settled future contracts	$	0.6	$	0.8
Foreign currency exchange losses (gains)	0.1		—
Net change in unrealized losses (gains) on unsettled futures contracts	0.1		0.7
Special legal contingency charges	0.7		1.0
Asbestos-related litigation	1.0		—
Environmental liabilities	0.7		—
Other items, net	0.3		0.3
Losses (gains) and other expenses, net (pre-tax)	$	3.5	$	2.8

The net change in unrealized (gains) losses on unsettled futures contracts was due to higher commodity prices relative to the unsettled futures contract prices. For more information on our futures contracts, see Note 4 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For more information on asbestos-related litigation, see Note 6 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges were $1 million in the first nine months of 2014 and $3 million in the first nine months of 2013. 2014 charges were for a new project to realign accountabilities and enhance distribution capabilities while the 2013 charges related primarily to our Regional Distribution Network project as well as anticipated severance charges associated with a relocation of certain Residential Heating & Cooling manufacturing operations to lower cost facilities. For additional information on our restructuring activities, refer to Note 12 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income from Equity Method Investments

We participate in two joint ventures that are engaged in the manufacture and sale of compressors, unit coolers and condensing units. We exert significant influence over these affiliates based upon our ownerships, but do not control them due to venture partner participation. Accordingly, these joint ventures have been accounted for under the equity method and their financial position and results of operations are not consolidated. Income from equity method investments of $12 million in the first nine months of 2014 increased $1 million over the first nine months of 2013 due to improved operating results from our joint ventures.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net was $11 million in the first nine months of 2014 and was flat compared to the first nine months of 2013. The impact of the increase in our average net borrowings was offset by a slight decline in weighted average borrowing rates over the comparable periods.

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.

Year-to-Date through September 30, 2014 Compared to Year-to-Date through September 30, 2013 - Results by Segment

Residential Heating & Cooling

The following table presents our Residential Heating & Cooling segment's net sales and profit for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013 (dollars in millions):



	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			Difference		% Change
Net sales	$	1,332.5		$	1,224.5		$	108	8.8	%
Profit	$	178.8		$	143.7		$	35.1	24.4	%
% of net sales	13.4		%	11.7		%

Net sales increased by 9% in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013. Sales volumes increased net sales by 8% due to industry growth and market share gains and the benefits of favorable price and mix contributed 2%. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted net sales by 1%.

Segment profit for the first nine months of 2014 increased $35 million due to $20 million contributed by incremental volume, $22 million from material cost savings, and $5 million from favorable price with mix contributing $1 million. Partially offsetting these increases was $7 million in distribution expenses related to continued investment in distribution expansion, and unfavorable foreign exchange rates of $6 million.

Commercial Heating & Cooling

The following table presents our Commercial Heating & Cooling segment's net sales and profit for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013 (dollars in millions):



	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			Difference		% Change
Net sales	$	655.6		$	631.8		$	23.8	3.8	%
Profit	$	91.3		$	84.8		$	6.5	7.7	%
% of net sales	13.9		%	13.4		%

Commercial Heating & Cooling net sales increased 4% in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 due to broad-based volume increases in North America.

Segment profit in the first nine months of 2014 increased $7 million compared to the first nine months of 2013. The benefits of $7 million from incremental volume and $5 million from material cost savings were offset by $4 million higher SG&A expenses including start-up costs to enter the VRF market, with the balance associated with other costs including investments in distribution expansion.

Refrigeration

The following table presents our Refrigeration segment's net sales and profit for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013 (dollars in millions):



	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			Difference			% Change
Net sales	$	566.5		$	593.2		$	(26.7	)	(4.5	)%
Profit	$	42.3		$	66.5		$	(24.2	)	(36.4	)%
% of net sales	7.5		%	11.2		%

Refrigeration net sales declined 5% in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 primarily due to a 3% volume decline and a 2% impact from unfavorable Australian dollar exchange rates. The North American supermarket and Australian wholesale businesses have been soft. We continue to expect the North American supermarket business to improve in the last quarter of the year based on national account business won in 2014. In Australia, with the repeal of the carbon tax, we expect a negative impact to the profitability of our refrigerant business for the remainder of the year.

Segment profit for the first nine months of 2014 decreased $24 million compared to the first nine months of 2013 primarily due to volume related declines of $5 million, unfavorable mix of $9 million, unfavorable foreign exchange rates of $3 million, and $3 million relating to investment in growth initiatives. These decreases were offset by a $1 million increase related to favorable price with the balance associated with other cost changes.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other expenses decreased $8 million to $48 million in the first nine months of 2014 from $56 million in the first nine months of 2013 due primarily to lower incentive compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital and capital expenditure requirements are generally met through internally generated funds, bank lines of credit and an asset securitization arrangement. Working capital needs are generally greater in the first and second quarters due to the seasonal nature of our business cycle.

Statement of Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):



	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	23.5		$	65.0
Net cash used in investing activities	(59.7		)	(32.9		)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	49.7			(42.2		)

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities - Net cash provided by operating activities decreased approximately $42 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to $65 million in the first nine months of 2013. This decrease was primarily attributable to the seasonal increase in working capital requirements and higher income tax payments in 2014 due to timing of payments, partially offset by higher net income.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities - Capital expenditures were $60 million and $41 million in the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2014 were primarily related to an expansion of manufacturing capacity for our Residential Heating & Cooling segment, investments in systems and software to support the overall enterprise and investments in our distribution network. Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2013 also included net proceeds of $5 million from the sale of the Service Experts business.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities - Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $50 million in the first nine months of 2014 primarily due to an increase in net borrowings and was partially offset by increases in stock repurchases and cash dividends paid. Net borrowings were higher in 2014 to support the increased stock repurchases, dividend and tax payments. Dividend payments increased because the fourth quarter 2012 dividend was paid in 2012, whereas the fourth quarter 2013 dividend was not paid until the first quarter of 2014.

Debt Position

The following table details our lines of credit and financing arrangements as of September 30, 2014 (in millions):



	Maximum Capacity		Outstanding Borrowings		Available for Future Borrowings
Short-term debt:
Foreign obligations	$	28.6	$	9.0	$	19.6
Asset Securitization Program ⁽¹⁾	220.0		220.0		—
Total short-term debt	$	248.6	$	229.0	$	19.6
Current maturities of long-term debt:
Capital lease obligations	$	1.3	$	1.3	$	—
Long-term debt:
Capital lease obligations	$	16.7	$	16.7	$	—
Domestic revolving credit facility ⁽²⁾	650.0		149.0		473.8
Senior unsecured notes	200.0		200.0		—
Total long-term debt	866.7		365.7		473.8
Total debt	$	1,116.6	$	596.0	$	493.4

⁽¹⁾ The maximum securitization amount ranges from $160.0 million to $220.0 million, depending on the period. The maximum capacity of the ASP is the lesser of the maximum securitization amount or 100% of the net pool balance less reserves, as defined under the ASP.

⁽²⁾ The available future borrowings on our domestic revolving credit facility were reduced by the outstanding borrowings and $27.2 million in outstanding standby letters of credit. We also had $26.4 million in outstanding standby letters of credit outside of the domestic revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2014.

Financial Leverage

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

market conditions. 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. Our debt-to-total-capital ratio increased to 54.3% at September 30, 2014 from 45.2% at December 31, 2013 due to the increase in our net borrowings, as noted above.

As of September 30, 2014, our senior credit rating with Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") was Baa3 with a stable outlook, which is judged to be lowest investment grade and subject to moderate credit risk and may possess certain speculative characteristics. Our senior credit rating with Standard & Poor's Rating Group ("S&P") was upgraded in the first quarter of 2014 by one notch to BBB with a stable outlook, which is judged to be investment grade but subject to weakened ability to meet commitments upon adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances. The security ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Our goal is to retain investment grade ratings from Moody's and S&P to ensure adequate access to capital markets.

Liquidity

We believe our cash and cash equivalents of $48 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 $48 million as of September 30, 2014 was $31.5 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 2014 are $90 million. We also continue to increase shareholder value through dividend payments and our share repurchase programs, with targets of $150 million in share repurchases under the existing share repurchase programs and between $50 million and $55 million of dividend payments in 2014.

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.

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

For information regarding our commitments, contingencies and guarantees, see Note 6 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.

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. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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, 2014, 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, 2014 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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. There have been no material changes to our risk factors from those disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In the third quarter of 2014, we purchased shares of our common stock as follows:



	Total Number of Shares Purchased ⁽¹⁾	Average Price Paid per Share (including fees)		Total Number of Shares Purchased As Part of Publicly Announced Plans ⁽²⁾	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that may yet be Purchased under our Share Repurchase Plans (in millions) ⁽³⁾
July 1 through July 31	13,653	$	89.49	—	$	196.2
August 1 through August 31	570,431	88.50		567,900	145.9
September 1 through September 30	1,118	79.58		—	145.9
	585,202			567,900

⁽¹⁾ We repurchased 17,302 shares of common stock in July, August and September 2014, respectively, surrendered to LII to satisfy employee tax-withholding obligations in connection with the exercise of long-term incentive awards.
