Johnson Controls, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012
(unaudited)
1. | Financial Statements |
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Johnson Controls, Inc. (the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012. The results of operations for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results for the Companys 2013 fiscal year because of seasonal and other factors.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Johnson Controls, Inc. and its domestic and non-U.S. subsidiaries that are consolidated in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Investments in partially-owned affiliates are accounted for by the equity method when the Companys interest exceeds 20% and the Company does not have a controlling interest.
Under certain criteria as provided for in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation, the Company may consolidate a partially-owned affiliate. To determine whether to consolidate a partially-owned affiliate, the Company first determines if the entity is a variable interest entity (VIE). An entity is considered to be a VIE if it has one of the following characteristics: 1) the entity is thinly capitalized; 2) residual equity holders do not control the entity; 3) equity holders are shielded from economic losses or do not participate fully in the entitys residual economics; or 4) the entity was established with non-substantive voting. If the entity meets one of these characteristics, the Company then determines if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The party with the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and the potential to absorb benefits or losses that could be significant to the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. If the entity is not considered a VIE, then the Company applies the voting interest model to determine whether or not the Company shall consolidate the partially-owned affiliate.
Consolidated VIEs
Based upon the criteria set forth in ASC 810, the Company has determined that it was the primary beneficiary in three VIEs for the reporting periods ended December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, as the Company absorbs significant economics of the entities and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities.
Two of the VIEs manufacture products in North America for the automotive industry. The Company funds the entities short term liquidity needs through revolving credit facilities and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities through its key customer supply relationships.
During the three month period ended December 31, 2011, a pre-existing VIE accounted for under the equity method was reorganized into three separate investments as a result of the counterparty exercising its option to put its interest to the Company. The Company acquired additional interests in two of the reorganized group entities. The reorganized group entities are considered to be VIEs as the other owner party has been provided decision making rights but does not have equity at risk. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of one of the entities due to the Companys power pertaining to decisions over significant activities of the entity. As such, the VIE has been consolidated within the Companys consolidated statements of financial position. The impact of consolidation of the entity on the Companys consolidated statements of income for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was not material. The VIE is named as a co-obligor under a third party debt agreement in the amount of $135 million, maturing in fiscal 2019, under which it could become subject to paying more than its allocated share of the third party debt in the event of bankruptcy of one or more of the other co-obligors. The other co-obligors, all related parties in which the Company is an equity investor, consist of the remaining group entities involved in the

(unaudited)
reorganization. As part of the overall reorganization transaction, the Company has also provided financial support to the group entities in the form of loans totaling $101 million, which are subordinate to the third party debt agreement. The Company is a significant customer of certain co-obligors, resulting in a remote possibility of loss. Additionally, the Company is subject to a floor guaranty expiring in fiscal 2022; in the event that the other owner party no longer owns any part of the group entities due to sale or transfer, the Company has guaranteed that the proceeds received from the sale or transfer will not be less than $25 million. The Company has partnered with the group entities to design and manufacture battery components for the Power Solutions business.
The carrying amounts and classification of assets (none of which are restricted) and liabilities included in the Companys consolidated statements of financial position for the consolidated VIEs are as follows (in millions):

The Company did not have a significant variable interest in any other consolidated VIEs for the presented reporting periods.
Nonconsolidated VIEs
The Company has a 40% interest in an equity method investee whereby the investee is a variable interest entity. The investee produces and sells lead-acid batteries of which the Company will both purchase and supply certain batteries to complement each investment partners portfolio. The Company has a contractual right to purchase the remaining 60% equity interest in the investee between May 2014 and May 2016 (the call option). If the Company does not exercise the call option prior to its expiration in May 2016, for a period of six months thereafter the Company is subject to a contractual obligation at the counterpartys option to sell the Companys equity investment in the investee to the counterparty (the repurchase option). The purchase price is fixed under both the call option and the repurchase option. Based upon the criteria set forth in ASC 810, the Company has determined that the investee is a VIE as the equity holders, through their equity investments, may not participate fully in the entitys residual economics. The Company is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have the power to make key operating decisions considered to be most significant to the VIE. Therefore, the investee is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Companys interest exceeds 20% and the Company does not have a controlling interest. The investment balance included within investments in partially-owned affiliates in the consolidated statements of financial position at December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $54 million, $55 million and $51 million, respectively, which represents the Companys maximum exposure to loss. Current assets and liabilities related to the VIE are immaterial and represent normal course of business trade receivables and payables for all presented periods.
As mentioned previously within the Consolidated VIEs section above, during the three month period ended December 31, 2011, a pre-existing VIE was reorganized into three separate investments as a result of the counterparty exercising its option to put its interest to the Company. The reorganized group entities are considered to be VIEs as the other owner party has been provided decision making rights but does not have equity at risk. The Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary of two of the entities as the Company cannot make key operating decisions considered to be most significant to the VIEs. Therefore, the entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Companys interest exceeds 20% and the Company does not have a controlling interest. The Companys maximum exposure to loss includes the partially-owned affiliate investment balance of $54 million, $52 million and $42 million at December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011,

respectively, as well as the subordinated loan from the Company, third party debt agreement and floor guaranty mentioned previously within the Consolidated VIEs section above. Current liabilities due to the VIEs are not material and represent normal course of business trade payables for all presented periods.
The Company did not have a significant variable interest in any other unconsolidated VIEs for the presented reporting periods.
Retrospective Changes
Certain amounts as of December 31, 2011 have been revised to conform to the current years presentation. Effective October 1, 2012, the Company reorganized the reportable segments within its Automotive Experience business to align with its new management reporting structure and business activities. As a result of this change, Automotive Experience is comprised of three new reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Seating, Interiors and Electronics. Historical information has been revised to reflect the new Automotive Experience reportable segment structure. Refer to Note 6, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Note 17, Segment Information, of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further information.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company changed its accounting policy for recognizing pension and postretirement benefit expenses. The Companys historical accounting treatment smoothed asset returns and amortized deferred actuarial gains and losses over future years. The new mark-to-market approach includes measuring the market related value of plan assets at fair value instead of utilizing a three-year smoothing approach. In addition, the Company has elected to completely eliminate the corridor approach and recognize actuarial gains and losses in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or at the date of a remeasurement event. The Company believes this new policy is preferable and provides greater transparency to on-going operational results. The change has no impact on future pension and postretirement funding or benefits paid to participants. The change has been reported through retrospective application of the new policy to all periods presented and resulted in a $14 million increase in net income attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. ($0.02 per diluted share) in the quarter ended December 31, 2011.
In January 2013, the Companys shareholders approved a restatement of the Companys articles of incorporation that included the simplification of the par value of the Companys common stock by changing the par value from $0.01 7/18 per share to $1.00 per share. This change resulted in an increase to common stock and corresponding reduction in capital in excess of par value in the consolidated statements of financial position and is reported through retrospective application of the new par value for all periods presented.
2. | New Accounting Standards |
In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-02, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. ASU No. 2012-02 provides companies an option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is determined that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible assets is impaired, then the Company is not required to take further action. ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for the Company for impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets performed in the current fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Companys consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU No. 2011-11 requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures of gross and net information regarding financial instruments and derivative instruments that are offset or eligible for offset in the consolidated statement of financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2013. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Companys consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU No. 2011-08 provides companies an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further goodwill impairment testing is necessary. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that a reporting units fair value is less than its carrying amount, the two-step quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. ASU No. 2011-08 is effective for the Company for goodwill impairment tests performed in the current fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Companys consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders equity. All non-owner changes in shareholders equity instead must be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-05 was effective for the Company for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Refer to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and Note 13, Equity and Noncontrolling Interests, of the notes to consolidated financial statements for disclosures regarding other comprehensive income.
3. | Acquisition of Businesses |
In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company made no acquisitions.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company completed two acquisitions for a combined purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $19 million, all of which was paid in the three months ended December 31, 2011. The acquisitions in the aggregate were not material to the Companys consolidated financial statements. In connection with the acquisitions, the Company recorded goodwill of $26 million.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company adjusted the purchase price allocation of certain fiscal 2011 acquisitions. The adjustments were as a result of a true-up to the purchase price in the amount of $8 million, for which the cash was received in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Amortization of other intangible assets for the three month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $18 million and $14 million, respectively. Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions, the Company anticipates amortization for fiscal 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 will be approximately $80 million, $75 million, $68 million, $60 million and $52 million per year, respectively.
7. | Product Warranties |
The Company offers warranties to its customers depending upon the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. A typical warranty program requires that the Company replace defective products within a specified time period from the date of sale. The Company records an estimate for future warranty-related costs based on actual historical return rates and other known factors. Based on analysis of return rates and other factors, the Companys warranty provisions are adjusted as necessary. The Company monitors its warranty activity and adjusts its reserve estimates when it is probable that future warranty costs will be different than those estimates.
The Companys product warranty liability is recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position in other current liabilities if the warranty is less than one year and in other noncurrent liabilities if the warranty extends longer than one year.
The changes in the carrying amount of the Companys total product warranty liability for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in millions):

8. | Significant Restructuring Costs |
To better align its resources with its growth strategies and reduce the cost structure of its global operations to address the softness in certain underlying markets, the Company committed to a significant restructuring plan (2012 Plan) in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2012 and recorded a $297 million restructuring charge, $52 million in the third quarter and $245 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The restructuring charge related to cost reduction initiatives in the Companys Automotive Experience, Building Efficiency and Power Solutions businesses and included planned workforce reductions and plant closures. The restructuring actions are expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2014.
The following table summarizes the changes in the Companys 2012 Plan reserve, included within other current liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position (in millions):

The 2012 Plan includes workforce reductions of approximately 7,500 employees (5,100 for the Automotive Experience business, 1,700 for the Building Efficiency business and 700 for the Power Solutions business). Restructuring charges associated with employee severance and termination benefits are paid over the severance period granted to each employee or on a lump sum basis in accordance with individual severance agreements. As of December 31, 2012, approximately 2,000 of the employees have been separated from the Company pursuant to the 2012 Plan. In addition, the 2012 Plan includes nine plant closures (six for Automotive Experience, two for Power Solutions and one for Building Efficiency). As of December 31, 2012, three of the nine plants have been closed.
Company management closely monitors its overall cost structure and continually analyzes each of its businesses for opportunities to consolidate current operations, improve operating efficiencies and locate facilities in low cost countries in close proximity to customers. This ongoing analysis includes a review of its manufacturing, engineering and purchasing operations, as well as the overall global footprint for all its businesses. Because of the importance of new vehicle sales by major automotive manufacturers to operations, the Company is affected by the general business conditions in this industry. Future adverse developments in the automotive industry could impact the Companys liquidity position, lead to impairment charges and/or require additional restructuring of its operations.
9. | Income Taxes |
Effective Tax Rate
In calculating the provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the actual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter. For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Companys estimated annual effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 20%.
Valuation Allowance
The Company reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the
14
Johnson Controls, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012
(unaudited)
historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset are considered, along with any other positive or negative evidence. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Companys valuation allowances may be necessary.
Given the current economic uncertainty, it is reasonably possible that over the next twelve months, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions may result in a net increase to tax expense of up to $400 million.
Uncertain Tax Positions
At September 30, 2012, the Company had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $1,465 million of which $1,274 million, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. Total net accrued interest at September 30, 2012 was approximately $72 million (net of tax benefit). The net change in interest and penalties during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was not material. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
In the U.S., the fiscal years 2007 through 2009 are currently under exam by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and fiscal years 2004 through 2006 are currently under IRS Appeals. Additionally, the Company is currently under exam in the following major foreign jurisdictions:

The Company expects that certain tax examinations, appellate proceedings and/or tax litigation will conclude within the next twelve months, the impact of which could be up to a $200 million benefit to tax expense.
Impacts of Tax Legislation
Tax legislation was adopted in various jurisdictions during the three month period ended December 31, 2012. These law changes will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
The look-through rule, under subpart F of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, expired for the Company on September 30, 2012. The look-through rule had provided an exception to the U.S. taxation of certain income generated by foreign subsidiaries. The rule was extended in January 2013 retroactive to the beginning of the Companys 2013 fiscal year; however, because the bill was not signed into law until January 2013 it was not in effect as of December 31, 2012. The effect of the look-through rule expiration did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
During the three month period ended December 31, 2011, tax legislation was adopted in Japan which reduced its income tax rate by 5%. Also, tax legislation was adopted in various jurisdictions to limit the annual utilization of tax losses that are carried forward. These law changes did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

10. | Pension and Postretirement Plans |
As discussed in Note 1, Financial Statements, of the notes to consolidated financial statements, the Company elected to change its policy for recognizing pension and postretirement benefit expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. This change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively, revising all periods presented.

11. | Debt and Financing Arrangements |
During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, a $35 million and a $100 million committed revolving credit facility expired. The Company entered into a new $35 million committed revolving credit facility scheduled to expire in November 2013 and a new $100 million committed revolving credit facility scheduled to expire in December 2013. As of December 31, 2012, there were no draws on either facility.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company entered into a five-year, 70 million euro, floating rate credit facility scheduled to mature in fiscal 2018. The Company drew on the credit facility during the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Proceeds from the facility were used for general corporate purposes.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company retired $100 million in principal amount, plus accrued interest, of its 5.8% fixed rate notes that matured November 2012. The Company used cash to fund the payment.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 2.6% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due in fiscal 2017, $450 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due in fiscal 2022 and $250 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due in fiscal 2042. Aggregate net proceeds of $1.1 billion from the issuances were used for general corporate purposes, including the retirement of short-term debt and contributions to the Companys pension and postretirement plans.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year, 75 million euro, floating rate credit facility scheduled to mature in fiscal 2017. The Company drew on the credit facility during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Proceeds from the facility were used for general corporate purposes.
12. | Earnings Per Share |
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the reporting period that are calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options and unvested restricted stock. The treasury stock method assumes that the Company uses the proceeds from the exercise of stock option awards to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the purchase price that the grantee will pay in the future, compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized and any windfall tax benefits that would be credited to capital in excess of par value when the award generates a tax deduction. If there would be a shortfall resulting in a charge to capital in excess of par value, such an amount would be a reduction of the proceeds. For unvested restricted stock, assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method would include unamortized compensation cost and windfall tax benefits or shortfalls.
The Companys outstanding Equity Units due 2042 are reflected in diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method. Under this method, if dilutive, the common stock is assumed issued as of the beginning of the reporting period and included in calculating diluted earnings per share. In addition, if dilutive, interest expense, net of tax, related to the outstanding Equity Units is added back to the numerator in calculating diluted earnings per share.

The Company consolidates certain subsidiaries in which the noncontrolling interest party has within their control the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of its interest in the subsidiary. The redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported at their estimated redemption value. Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts retained earnings but does not impact net income. Redeemable noncontrolling interests which are redeemable only upon future events, the occurrence of which is not currently probable, are recorded at carrying value.

14. | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities |
The Company selectively uses derivative instruments to reduce market risk associated with changes in foreign currency, commodities, stock-based compensation liabilities and interest rates. Under Company policy, the use of derivatives is restricted to those intended for hedging purposes; the use of any derivative instrument for speculative purposes is strictly prohibited. A description of each type of derivative utilized by the Company to manage risk is included in the following paragraphs. In addition, refer to Note 15, Fair Value Measurements, of the notes to consolidated financial statements for information related to the fair value measurements and valuation methods utilized by the Company for each derivative type.
The Company has global operations and participates in the foreign exchange markets to minimize its risk of loss from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company primarily uses foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge certain of its foreign exchange rate exposures. The Company hedges 70% to 90% of the nominal amount of each of its known foreign exchange transactional exposures.
The Company has entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps to selectively hedge portions of its net investment in Japan. The currency effects of the cross-currency interest rate swaps are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) account within shareholders equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. where they offset gains and losses recorded on the Companys net investment in Japan. At December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had three cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding, totaling 20 billion yen.

The Company uses commodity contracts in the financial derivatives market in cases where commodity price risk cannot be naturally offset or hedged through supply base fixed price contracts. Commodity risks are systematically managed pursuant to policy guidelines. As cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of AOCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions, typically sales or costs related to sales, occur and affect earnings. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is reflected in the consolidated statements of income. The maturities of the commodity contracts coincide with the expected purchase of the commodities. The Company had the following outstanding commodity hedge contracts that hedge forecasted purchases:

The Company selectively uses equity swaps to reduce market risk associated with certain of its stock-based compensation plans, such as its deferred compensation plans. These equity compensation liabilities increase as the Companys stock price increases and decrease as the Companys stock price decreases. In contrast, the value of the swap agreement moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing the Company to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount. As of December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had hedged approximately 4.5 million, 4.5 million and 4.3 million shares of its common stock, respectively.
The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risk associated with changes in interest rates for its fixed-rate bonds. As fair value hedges, the interest rate swaps and related debt balances are valued under a market approach using publicized swap curves. Changes in the fair value of the swap and hedged portion of the debt are recorded in the consolidated statements of income. In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company entered into a fixed to floating interest rate swap totaling $100 million to hedge the coupon of its 5.8% notes maturing November 15, 2012, two fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $300 million to hedge the coupon of its 4.875% notes maturing September 15, 2013, and five fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $450 million to hedge the coupon of its 1.75% notes maturing March 1, 2014. The $100 million fixed to floating interest rate swap matured in November 2012. There were seven interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2012, and eight interest rate swaps outstanding as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
In September 2005, the Company entered into three forward treasury lock agreements to reduce the market risk associated with changes in interest rates associated with the Companys anticipated fixed-rate note issuance to finance the acquisition of York International (cash flow hedge). The three forward treasury lock agreements, which had a combined notional amount of $1.3 billion, fixed a portion of the future interest cost for 5-year, 10-year and 30-year notes. The fair value of each treasury lock agreement, or the difference between the treasury lock reference rate and the fixed rate at time of note issuance, is amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective note issuance. In January 2006, in connection with the Companys debt refinancing, the three forward treasury lock agreements were terminated.

The amount of gains (losses) recognized in cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) within AOCI on the effective portion of outstanding net investment hedges was $12 million, $1 million, and $(5) million at December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, no gains or losses were reclassified from CTA into income for the Companys outstanding net investment hedges, and no gains or losses were recognized in income for the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges.
15. | Fair Value Measurements |
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Valuation Methods
Foreign currency exchange derivatives The Company selectively hedges anticipated transactions that are subject to foreign exchange rate risk primarily using foreign currency exchange hedge contracts. The foreign currency exchange derivatives are valued under a market approach using publicized spot and forward prices. As cash flow hedges under ASC 815, the effective portion of the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions occur and affect earnings. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is reflected in the consolidated statement of income. These contracts were highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates at December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The fair value of foreign currency exchange derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 are recorded in the consolidated statements of income.
Commodity derivatives The Company selectively hedges anticipated transactions that are subject to commodity price risk, primarily using commodity hedge contracts, to minimize overall price risk associated with the Companys purchases of lead, copper, tin and aluminum. The commodity derivatives are valued under a market approach using publicized prices, where available, or dealer quotes. As cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions, typically sales or cost related to sales, occur and affect earnings. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is reflected in the consolidated statements of income. These contracts were highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in commodity prices at December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Interest rate swaps and related debt The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risk associated with changes in interest rates for its fixed-rate bonds. As fair value hedges, the interest rate swaps and related debt balances are valued under a market approach using publicized swap curves. Changes in the fair value of the swap and hedged portion of the debt are recorded in the consolidated statements of income. In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company entered into a fixed to floating interest rate swap totaling $100 million to hedge the coupon of its 5.8% notes maturing November 15, 2012, two fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $300 million to hedge the coupon of its 4.875% notes maturing September 15, 2013 and five fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $450 million to hedge the coupon of its 1.75% notes maturing March 1, 2014. The $100 million fixed to floating interest rate swap matured in November 2012. There were seven interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2012, and eight interest rate swaps outstanding as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Cross-currency interest rate swaps The Company selectively uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge the foreign currency rate risk associated with certain of its investments in Japan. The cross-currency interest rate swaps are valued using observable market data. Changes in the market value of the swaps are reflected in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income where they offset gains and losses recorded on the Companys net investment in Japan. At December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had three cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding totaling 20 billion yen.
Investments in marketable common stock The Company invests in certain marketable common stock, which is valued under a market approach using publicized share prices. As of December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the Company recorded unrealized gains of $8 million, $5 million and $8 million, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive income. There were no unrealized losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on these investments as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012. The Company recorded unrealized losses of $5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income on these investments as of December 31, 2011. Unrealized and realized losses recorded on these investments are deemed not material for further disclosure.
Equity swaps The Company selectively uses equity swaps to reduce market risk associated with certain of its stock-based compensation plans, such as its deferred compensation plans. The equity swaps are valued under a market approach as the fair value of the swaps is equal to the Companys stock price at the reporting period date. Changes in fair value on the equity swaps are reflected in the consolidated statements of income within selling, general and administrative expenses.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The fair value of long-term debt, which was $6.3 billion, $6.3 billion and $6.1 billion at December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, was determined using market quotes classified as Level 1 inputs within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.
16. | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset group is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company concluded it did not have any triggering events requiring assessment of impairment of its long-lived assets.
Goodwill reflects the cost of an acquisition in excess of the fair values assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment during the fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently if events or
27

changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. The Company performs impairment reviews for its reporting units, which have been determined to be the Companys reportable segments or one level below the reportable segments in certain instances, using a fair-value method based on managements judgments and assumptions or third party valuations. The fair value of a reporting unit refers to the price that would be received to sell the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In estimating the fair value, the Company uses multiples of earnings based on the average of historical, published multiples of earnings of comparable entities with similar operations and economic characteristics. In certain instances, the Company uses discounted cash flow analyses to further support the fair value estimates. The inputs utilized in the analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The estimated fair value is then compared with the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including recorded goodwill. The Company is subject to financial statement risk to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. The impairment testing performed by the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 indicated that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its corresponding carrying amount including recorded goodwill, and as such, no impairment existed at September 30, 2012. No reporting unit was determined to be at risk of failing step one of the goodwill impairment test.
At October 1, 2012, the Company assessed goodwill for impairment in the Automotive Experience business due to the change in reportable segments as described in Note 17, Segment Information, of the notes to consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company performed impairment testing for goodwill under the new segment structure and determined that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its corresponding carrying amount including recorded goodwill, and as such, no impairment existed at October 1, 2012. No reporting unit was determined to be at risk of failing step one of the goodwill impairment test.
While the estimated fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its corresponding carrying amount including recorded goodwill at the assessment dates indicated above, a prolonged significant decline in the European automotive industry could put the Company at risk of not achieving future growth assumptions and could result in impairment of goodwill or other long-lived assets, or result in additional restructuring actions, within the Automotive Experience business, which could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
17. | Segment Information |
Effective October 1, 2012, the Company reorganized the reportable segments within its Automotive Experience business to align with its new management reporting structure and business activities. Prior to this reorganization, Automotive Experience was comprised of three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: North America, Europe and Asia. As a result of this change, Automotive Experience is now comprised of three new reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Seating, Interiors and Electronics. Historical information has been revised to reflect the new Automotive Experience reportable segment structure.
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes the standards for reporting information about segments in financial statements. In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, the Company has determined that it has nine reportable segments for financial reporting purposes. The Companys nine reportable segments are presented in the context of its three primary businesses Building Efficiency, Automotive Experience and Power Solutions.

18. | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Company accrues for potential environmental liabilities in a manner consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; that is, when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. Reserves for environmental liabilities totaled $24 million, $25 million and $29 million at December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company reviews the status of its environmental sites on a quarterly basis and adjusts its reserves accordingly. Such potential liabilities accrued by the Company do not take into consideration possible recoveries of future insurance proceeds. They do, however, take into account the likely share other parties will bear at remediation sites. It is difficult to estimate the Companys ultimate level of liability at many remediation sites due to the large number of other parties that may be involved, the complexity of determining the relative liability among those parties, the uncertainty as to the nature and scope of the investigations and remediation to be conducted, the uncertainty in the application of law and risk assessment, the various choices and costs associated with diverse technologies that may be used in corrective actions at the sites, and the often quite lengthy periods over which eventual remediation may occur. Nevertheless, the Company does not currently believe that any claims, penalties or costs in connection with known environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the Company has identified asset retirement obligations for environmental matters that are expected to be addressed at the retirement, disposal, removal or abandonment of existing owned facilities, primarily in the Power Solutions business. At December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company recorded conditional asset retirement obligations of $81 million, $76 million and $86 million, respectively.
The Company is involved in a number of product liability and various other casualty lawsuits incident to the operation of its businesses. The Company maintains insurance coverages and records estimated costs for claims and suits of this nature. It is managements opinion that none of these will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Costs related to such matters were not material to the periods presented.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Johnson Controls, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Johnson Controls, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated November 19, 2012, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2012, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated statements of financial position from which it has been derived.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2012 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, along with managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. References in the following discussion and analysis to Three Months refer to the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2011.
Certain amounts as of December 31, 2011 have been revised to conform to the current years presentation. Effective October 1, 2012, the Company reorganized the reportable segments within its Automotive Experience business to align with its new management reporting structure and business activities. As a result of this change, Automotive Experience is comprised of three new reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Seating, Interiors and Electronics. Historical information has been revised to reflect the new Automotive Experience reportable segment structure.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company changed its accounting policy for recognizing pension and postretirement benefit expenses. The Companys historical accounting treatment smoothed asset returns and amortized deferred actuarial gains and losses over future years. The new mark-to-market approach includes measuring the market related value of plan assets at fair value instead of utilizing a three-year smoothing approach. In addition, the Company has elected to completely eliminate the corridor approach and recognize actuarial gains and losses in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or at the date of a remeasurement event. The Company believes this new policy is preferable and provides greater transparency to on-going operational results. The change has no impact on future pension and postretirement funding or benefits paid to participants. The change has been reported through retrospective application of the new policy to all periods presented and resulted in a $14 million increase in net income attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. ($0.02 per diluted share) in the quarter ended December 31, 2011.
Outlook
On January 18, 2013, the Company announced that it expects diluted earnings per share of $0.40$0.42 in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. This guidance reflects the current European automotive production environment and short-term delays in flexing labor in the region as well as a high level of launch activity. The Company also reaffirmed its fiscal 2013 full year guidance, as announced on December 19, 2012. This guidance states a year over year segment income improvement of 10% and diluted earnings per share of $2.60$2.70.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company believes its capital resources and liquidity position at December 31, 2012 are adequate to meet projected needs. The Company believes requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, minimum pension contributions, debt maturities and any potential acquisitions in fiscal 2013 will continue to be funded from operations, supplemented by short- and long-term borrowings, if required. The Company currently manages its short-term debt position in the U.S. and euro commercial paper markets and bank loan markets. The Company continues to adjust its commercial paper maturities and issuance levels given market reactions to industry events and changes in the Companys credit rating. In the event the Company is unable to issue commercial paper, it would have the ability to draw on its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility, which matures in February 2015. There were no draws on the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2012. As such, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future.
The Companys debt financial covenants require a minimum consolidated shareholders equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. of at least $3.5 billion at all times and allow a maximum aggregated amount of 10% of consolidated shareholders equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. for liens and pledges. For purposes of calculating the Companys covenants, consolidated shareholders equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. is calculated without giving effect to (i) the application of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 715-60, Defined Benefit PlansOther Postretirement, or (ii) the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. As of December 31, 2012, consolidated shareholders equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. as defined per the Companys debt financial covenants was $11.4 billion and there were $300 million of liens outstanding. The Company expects to remain in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in its credit agreements and indentures for the foreseeable future. None of the Companys debt agreements limit access to stated borrowing levels or require accelerated repayment in the event of a decrease in the Companys credit rating.
34
The key financial assumptions used in calculating the Companys pension liability are determined annually, or whenever plan assets and liabilities are re-measured as required under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., including the expected rate of return on our plan assets. In fiscal 2013, the Company believes the long-term rate of return will approximate 8.00%, 4.55% and 5.80% for U.S. pension, non-U.S. pension and postretirement plans, respectively. During the first three months of fiscal 2013, the Company made approximately $16 million in total pension contributions. In total, the Company expects to contribute approximately $100 million in cash to its defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2013. The Company does not expect to make any significant contributions to its postretirement plans in fiscal 2013.

Net sales |
$ | 10,422 | $ | 10,417 | 0 | % |
Consolidated net sales were comparable to the prior period due to higher sales in the Power Solutions business ($90 million), Automotive Experience business ($51 million) and Building Efficiency business ($4 million), offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation ($140 million). Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, consolidated net sales increased 1% as compared to the prior year. The favorable impacts of increased automotive industry production in North America and strong automotive production and building demand in Asia, were partially offset by the negative impacts of lower automotive industry production in Europe, softness in building demand in North America, mild weather conditions on automotive battery aftermarket demand and prior year divestitures in the Building Efficiency business.

The increase in total cost of sales year over year corresponds to the sales noted above, with gross profit percentage remaining relatively consistent. Gross profit in the Automotive Experience business was unfavorably impacted by higher operating costs related to operational inefficiencies, delay in flex labor costs related to lower production volumes in Europe, and net unfavorable pricing and commercial settlements, partially offset by lower purchasing costs and favorable sales mix. The Building Efficiency business experienced favorable sales mix and pricing initiatives, partially offset by contract related losses. Gross profit in the Power Solutions business was favorably impacted by pricing, product mix and vertical integration, partially offset by higher costs for battery cores and lead. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact on cost of sales of approximately $121 million. Refer to the segment analysis below within Item 2 for a discussion of segment income by segment.

The Automotive Experience business SG&A increased primarily due to higher engineering, product development and employee related expenses. The Power Solutions business SG&A increased primarily due to higher employee related expenses and a prior year business interruption insurance recovery. The Building Efficiency business SG&A decreased primarily due to a pension curtailment gain resulting from a lost Global Workplace Solutions contract, and overall lower employee related expenses due to cost reduction initiatives.

| The decrease in Seating was primarily due to higher operating costs ($54 million), higher selling, general and administrative expenses ($30 million), net unfavorable pricing and commercial settlements ($27 million), lower equity income including a prior year equity interest gain ($17 million), lower volumes ($5 million), higher engineering expenses ($5 million) and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation ($1 million), partially offset by favorable sales mix ($17 million), lower purchasing costs ($12 million) and the prior year negative impact of the flooding in Thailand and related events ($6 million). |
| The increase in Interiors was primarily due to net favorable pricing and commercial settlements ($14 million), higher equity income ($4 million), lower operating costs ($3 million) and favorable sales mix ($2 million), partially offset by higher purchasing costs ($6 million), higher selling, general and administrative expenses ($5 million), higher engineering expenses ($4 million) and lower volumes ($1 million). |
| The decrease in Electronics was primarily due to net unfavorable pricing and commercial settlements ($5 million), higher engineering costs ($5 million), lower volumes ($3 million) and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation ($2 million), partially offset by lower purchasing costs ($8 million), higher equity income ($1 million), lower selling, general and administrative expenses ($1 million), lower operating costs ($1 million) and favorable sales mix ($1 million). |

| Segment income decreased primarily due to a prior year gain on redemption of a warrant for an existing partially-owned affiliate ($25 million), higher selling, general and administrative expenses including a prior year business interruption insurance recovery net of related costs and lost profit on sales due to a continued plant shutdown in Asia ($7 million), and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation ($3 million), partially offset by favorable pricing and product mix net of higher costs for battery cores and lead ($15 million), higher sales volumes ($5 million), higher equity income ($5 million) and lower operating and transportation costs ($3 million). |
Backlog
Building Efficiencys backlog relates to its control systems and service activity. At December 31, 2012, the unearned backlog was $5.1 billion. The Asia and Other segment backlogs increased compared to prior year levels, offset by decreases in the North America Service and North America Systems backlogs compared to the prior year.

| The Company defines working capital as current assets less current liabilities, excluding cash, short-term debt, and the current portion of long-term debt. Management believes that this measure of working capital, which excludes financing-related items, provides a more useful measurement of the Companys operating performance. |
| The increase in working capital at December 31, 2012 as compared to September 30, 2012 was primarily due to lower accrued compensation and benefits primarily due to timing of incentive compensation payments, higher |

inventory levels to support higher sales levels and lower accounts payable primarily due to timing of supplier payments, partially offset by lower accounts receivable levels due to the timing of customer receipts. Compared to December 31, 2011, the increase was primarily due to higher accounts receivable from the timing of customer receipts and an increase in other current assets related to income and indirect taxes, partially offset by lower inventory levels based on increased turnover. |
| The Companys days sales in accounts receivable at December 31, 2012 were 58, higher than 55 at each of the comparable periods ended September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The change in accounts receivable compared to September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was primarily due to sales volumes and timing of customer receipts in the current quarter compared to each respective comparable quarter. There have been no significant adverse changes in the level of overdue receivables or changes in revenue recognition methods. |
| The Companys inventory turns for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were lower than the comparable period ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to higher inventory production to meet higher sales levels. Inventory turns were higher than the comparable period ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to improvements in inventory management. |
| Days in accounts payable at December 31, 2012 were 73 days, an increase from 72 and 71 for the comparable periods September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. This change was primarily due to the timing of supplier payments. |

| The decrease in cash used by investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was primarily due to lower capital expenditures. |
| The decrease in cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was primarily due to a prior year $1.1 billion bond issuance partially offset by the acceleration of the payment of the first quarter dividend and repayments of debt in the current period. Refer to Note 11, Debt and Financing Arrangements, of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further discussion. |
| The decrease in capital expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2012 primarily relates to prior year capacity expansion in the Power Solutions business in addition to an overall initiative to decrease capital spending in the current period. |
Deferred Taxes
The Company reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset are considered, along with any other positive or negative evidence. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Companys valuation allowances may be necessary.
41
The Company has certain subsidiaries, mainly located in France and Spain, which have generated operating and/or capital losses and, in certain circumstances, have limited loss carryforward periods. In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company is required to record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not the Company will not utilize deductible amounts or net operating losses for each legal entity or consolidated group based on the tax rules in the applicable jurisdiction, evaluating both positive and negative historical evidences as well as expected future events and tax planning strategies.
Given the current economic uncertainty, it is reasonably possible that over the next twelve months, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions may result in a net increase to tax expense of up to $400 million.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset group is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company concluded it did not have any triggering events requiring assessment of impairment of its long-lived assets.
Goodwill reflects the cost of an acquisition in excess of the fair values assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment during the fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. The Company performs impairment reviews for its reporting units, which have been determined to be the Companys reportable segments or one level below the reportable segments in certain instances, using a fair-value method based on managements judgments and assumptions or third party valuations. The fair value of a reporting unit refers to the price that would be received to sell the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In estimating the fair value, the Company uses multiples of earnings based on the average of historical, published multiples of earnings of comparable entities with similar operations and economic characteristics. In certain instances, the Company uses discounted cash flow analyses to further support the fair value estimates. The inputs utilized in the analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The estimated fair value is then compared with the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including recorded goodwill. The Company is subject to financial statement risk to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. The impairment testing performed by the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 indicated that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its corresponding carrying amount including recorded goodwill, and as such, no impairment existed at September 30, 2012. No reporting unit was determined to be at risk of failing step one of the goodwill impairment test.
At October 1, 2012, the Company assessed goodwill for impairment in the Automotive Experience business due to the change in reportable segments as described in Note 17, Segment Information, of the notes to consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company performed impairment testing for goodwill under the new segment structure and determined that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its corresponding carrying amount including recorded goodwill, and as such, no impairment existed at October 1, 2012. No reporting unit was determined to be at risk of failing step one of the goodwill impairment test.
While the estimated fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its corresponding carrying amount including recorded goodwill at the assessment dates indicated above, a prolonged significant decline in the European automotive industry could put the Company at risk of not achieving future growth assumptions and could result in impairment of goodwill or other long-lived assets, or result in additional restructuring actions, within the Automotive Experience business, which could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

| The Company believes the percentage of total debt to total capitalization is useful to understanding the Companys financial condition as it provides a review of the extent to which the Company relies on external debt financing for its funding and is a measure of risk to its shareholders. |
| At December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the Company had committed bilateral euro denominated revolving credit facilities totaling 237 million euro, 237 million euro and 223 million euro, respectively. Additionally, at December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had committed bilateral U.S. dollar denominated revolving credit facilities totaling $185 million. There were no draws on any of the revolving facilities for the respective periods. As of December 31, 2012, $50 million and 137 million euro are scheduled to expire in fiscal 2013 and $135 million and 100 million euro are scheduled to expire in fiscal 2014. |
| In November 2011, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 2.6% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due in fiscal 2017, $450 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due in fiscal 2022 and $250 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due in fiscal 2042. Aggregate net proceeds of $1.1 billion from the issues were used for general corporate purposes, including the retirement of short-term debt and contributions to the Companys pension and postretirement plans. |
| In December 2011, the Company entered into a five-year, 75 million euro, floating rate credit facility scheduled to mature in February 2017. The Company drew on the credit facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Proceeds from the facility were used for general corporate purposes. |
| In March 2012, the Company remarketed $46 million aggregate principal amount of 11.5% subordinated notes due in fiscal 2042, on behalf of holders of Corporate Units and holders of separate notes, by issuing $46 million aggregate principal amount of 2.355% senior notes due on March 31, 2017. |
| In November 2012, the Company entered into a five-year, 70 million euro, floating rate credit facility scheduled to mature in November 2017. The Company drew on the credit facility during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Proceeds from the facility were used for general corporate purposes. |
| In November 2012, the Company retired $100 million in principal amount, plus accrued interest, of its 5.8% fixed rate notes that matured. The Company used cash to fund the payment. |
| The Company also selectively makes use of short-term credit lines. The Company estimates that, as of December 31, 2012, it could borrow up to $1.8 billion on committed credit lines. |
| The Company believes its capital resources and liquidity position at December 31, 2012 are adequate to meet projected needs. The Company believes requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, stock repurchases, minimum pension contributions, debt maturities and any potential acquisitions in fiscal 2013 will continue to be funded from operations, supplemented by short- and long-term borrowings, if required. The Company currently manages its short-term debt position in the U.S. and euro commercial paper markets and bank loan markets. In the event the Company is unable to issue commercial paper, it would have the ability to |
43
draw on its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility, which matures in February 2015. There were no draws on the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2012. As such, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future. |
| The Company earns a significant amount of its operating income outside the U.S., which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. The Company currently does not intend nor foresee a need to repatriate these funds. The Companys intent is for such earnings to be reinvested by the subsidiaries or to be repatriated only when it would be tax effective through the utilization of foreign tax credits. The Company expects existing domestic cash and liquidity to continue to be sufficient to fund the Companys domestic operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company expects existing foreign cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash flows from operations to continue to be sufficient to fund the Companys foreign operating activities and cash commitments for investing activities, such as material capital expenditures, for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. Should the Company require more capital in the U.S. than is generated by operations domestically, the Company could elect to raise capital in the U.S. through debt or equity issuances. This alternative could result in increased interest expense or other dilution of the Companys earnings. The Company has borrowed funds domestically and continues to have the ability to borrow funds domestically at reasonable interest rates. |
| The Companys debt financial covenants require a minimum consolidated shareholders equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. of at least $3.5 billion at all times and allow a maximum aggregated amount of 10% of consolidated shareholders equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. for liens and pledges. For purposes of calculating the Companys covenants, consolidated shareholders equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. is calculated without giving effect to (i) the application of ASC 715-60, Defined Benefit Plans- Other Postretirement, or (ii) the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. As of December 31, 2012, consolidated shareholders equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. as defined per the Companys debt financial covenants was $11.4 billion and there were $300 million of liens outstanding. The Company expects to remain in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in its credit agreements and indentures for the foreseeable future. None of the Companys debt agreements limit access to stated borrowing levels or require accelerated repayment in the event of a decrease in the Companys credit rating. |
New Accounting Standards
In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-02, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. ASU No. 2012-02 provides companies an option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is determined that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible assets is impaired, then the Company is not required to take further action. ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for the Company for impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets performed in the current fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Companys consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU No. 2011-11 requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures of gross and net information regarding financial instruments and derivative instruments that are offset or eligible for offset in the consolidated statement of financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2013. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Companys consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU No. 2011-08 provides companies an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further goodwill impairment testing is necessary. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that a reporting units fair value is less than its carrying amount, the two-step quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. ASU No. 2011-08 is effective for the Company for goodwill impairment tests performed in the current fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Companys consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
44
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders equity. All non-owner changes in shareholders equity instead must be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-05 was effective for the Company for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Refer to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and Note 13, Equity and Noncontrolling Interests, of the notes to consolidated financial statements for disclosures regarding other comprehensive income.
Other Financial Information
The interim financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has not been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC). PwC has, however applied limited review procedures in accordance with professional standards for reviews of interim financial information. Accordingly, you should restrict your reliance on their reports on such information. PwC is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on the interim financial information because such reports do not constitute reports or parts of the registration statements prepared or certified by PwC within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had not experienced any adverse changes in market risk exposures that materially affected the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SECs rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as noted below, there have been no significant changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
The Company is undertaking the implementation of new enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems in certain businesses, which will occur over a period of several years. As the phased roll-out of the new ERP systems occurs, the Company may experience changes in internal control over financial reporting. No significant changes were made to the Companys current internal control over financial reporting as a result of the implementation of the new ERP systems during the three months ended December 31, 2012.
45
As noted in Item 1 to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012, liabilities potentially arise globally under various environmental laws and worker safety laws for activities that are not in compliance with such laws and for the cleanup of sites where Company-related substances have been released into the environment.
Currently, the Company is responding to allegations that it is responsible for performing environmental remediation, or for the repayment of costs spent by governmental entities or others performing remediation, at approximately 38 sites in the United States. Many of these sites are landfills used by the Company in the past for the disposal of waste materials; others are secondary lead smelters and lead recycling sites where the Company returned lead-containing materials for recycling; a few involve the cleanup of Company manufacturing facilities; and the remaining fall into miscellaneous categories. The Company may face similar claims of liability at additional sites in the future. Where potential liabilities are alleged, the Company pursues a course of action intended to mitigate them.
The Company accrues for potential environmental liabilities in a manner consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; that is, when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. Reserves for environmental liabilities totaled $24 million, $25 million and $29 million at December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company reviews the status of its environmental sites on a quarterly basis and adjusts its reserves accordingly. Such potential liabilities accrued by the Company do not take into consideration possible recoveries of future insurance proceeds. They do, however, take into account the likely share other parties will bear at remediation sites. It is difficult to estimate the Companys ultimate level of liability at many remediation sites due to the large number of other parties that may be involved, the complexity of determining the relative liability among those parties, the uncertainty as to the nature and scope of the investigations and remediation to be conducted, the uncertainty in the application of law and risk assessment, the various choices and costs associated with diverse technologies that may be used in corrective actions at the sites, and the often quite lengthy periods over which eventual remediation may occur. Nevertheless, the Company does not currently believe that any claims, penalties or costs in connection with known environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the Company has identified asset retirement obligations for environmental matters that are expected to be addressed at the retirement, disposal, removal or abandonment of existing owned facilities, primarily in the Power Solutions business. At December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company recorded conditional asset retirement obligations of $81 million, $76 million and $86 million, respectively.
The Company is involved in a number of product liability and various other casualty lawsuits incident to the operation of its businesses. The Company maintains insurance coverages and records estimated costs for claims and suits of this nature. It is managements opinion that none of these will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Costs related to such matters were not material to the periods presented.
There have been no material changes to the disclosure regarding risk factors presented in Item 1A to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In November 2012, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $500 million of the Companys outstanding common stock, which supersedes any prior programs. Stock repurchases under this program may be made through open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise at times and in such amounts as Company management deems appropriate. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be amended or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time without prior notice.
46
The Company entered into an Equity Swap Agreement, dated March 13, 2009, with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank). The Company selectively uses equity swaps to reduce market risk associated with its stock-based compensation plans, such as its deferred compensation plans. These equity compensation liabilities increase as the Companys stock price increases and decrease as the Companys stock price decreases. In contrast, the value of the Equity Swap Agreement moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing the Company to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount.
In connection with the Equity Swap Agreement, Citibank may purchase unlimited shares of the Companys stock in the market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company disclaims that Citibank is an affiliated purchaser of the Company as such term is defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act or that Citibank is purchasing any shares for the Company. The Equity Swap Agreement has no stated expiration date. The net effect of the change in fair value of the Equity Swap Agreement and the change in equity compensation liabilities was not material to the Companys earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2012.
The following table presents information regarding the repurchase of the Companys common stock by the Company as part of the publicly announced program and purchases of the Companys common stock by Citibank in connection with the Equity Swap Agreement during the three months ended December 31, 2012.
