Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
For the Period Ended June 27, 2009
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Littelfuse, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals,
and accrued employee-related costs pursuant to contractual obligations, considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the period ended June 27, 2009 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 2, 2010. For
further information, refer to the Companys consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
incorporated by reference in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
27, 2008.
Management has evaluated subsequent events through July 30, 2009, the date the financial statements
were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 had no material
impact on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company, but resulted
in certain additional disclosures as reflected in Note 8.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with earlier
adoption prohibited. SFAS 160 requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority
interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parents equity.
The amount of net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in
consolidated net income on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Income. SFAS 160 also amends
certain of ARB No. 51s consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of SFAS
141(R) and includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its
noncontrolling interest. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 160, the Company reclassified its
immaterial noncontrolling interest from Other long-term liabilities to Total shareholders
equity as of December 27, 2008 to conform to the presentation at June 27, 2009.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities (SFAS 161). The new standard requires enhanced disclosure about a companys
derivatives and hedging to help investors understand their impact on a companys financial
position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for periods beginning after
November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 161 resulted in
additional disclosures regarding the Companys derivative activities as reflected in Note 7.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 sets forth
the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity shall
evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the
financial statements, circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions
that may occur for potential recognition and disclosure in the financial statements, and
disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance
sheet date. The adoption of SFAS 165 resulted in additional disclosures regarding the date through
which management has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date as reflected in Note
1.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement 162 (SFAS 168). SFAS
168 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, ending after September 15, 2009. SFAS 168
is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and rules and interpretive releases of the

SEC under authority of federal securities laws as the sole sources of authoritative accounting
principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for SEC
registrants. The adoption of SFAS 168 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated financial position.
In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 107-1 and Accounting Principal Board Opinion
No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP 107-1). FSP 107-1
amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in
annual financial statements. This statement also amends Accounting Principal Board Opinion No. 28,
Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements.
FSP 107-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of
FSP 107-1 resulted in additional disclosures as reflected in Note 8.
3. Acquisition of Business
On February 29, 2008, the Company acquired Shock Block Corporation (Shock Block), a leading
manufacturer in ground fault technology located in Dallas, Texas, for $9.2 million less a holdback
of $0.9 million (plus accrued interest) subject to the fulfillment of certain contractual
obligations by the seller. These obligations were fulfilled and payments totaling approximately
$1.0 million were made during the first quarter of 2009. The Company primarily acquired customer
lists and intellectual property rights, including trademarks and tradenames. The customer lists
were assigned a useful life of seven years. The Company funded the acquisition with cash and has
continued to operate Shock Blocks electrical business subsequent to the acquisition. The Shock
Block acquisition expands the Companys portfolio of protection products for commercial and
industrial applications and strengthens the Companys position in the circuit protection industry.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the operations of
Shock Block are included in the Companys consolidated results from the date of the acquisition.
The following table sets forth the purchase price allocations for Shock Blocks assets in
accordance with the purchase method of accounting with adjustments to record the acquired assets at
their estimated fair market or net realizable values.

custom-power distribution centers located in Saskatchewan, Canada. On September 30, 2008, the
Company completed the purchase of Startco for approximately $38.9 million. The Company funded the
acquisition with proceeds from the Loan Agreement discussed in Note 6.
The Startco acquisition strengthens the Companys position in the industrial ground-fault
protection business and provides industrial power distribution design and manufacturing
capabilities that strengthen the Companys position within the growing mining industry. The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the operations of Startco
are included in the Companys consolidated results from the date of the acquisition.

All Startco goodwill and other assets and liabilities were recorded in the Electrical business unit
segment and reflected in the Americas geographical area based on preliminary estimates of fair
values during the fourth quarter of 2008. These estimates were subject to revision after the
Company completed its fair value analysis, which occurred during the first quarter of 2009 and
resulted in an allocation of $18.0 million to identifiable intangible assets, including $5.3
million in patents and product designs, $5.5 million in trademarks and tradenames and $7.2 million
in customer lists and backlog. The patents and product designs are both being amortized over 12
years. Customer lists are being amortized over 15 years. Backlog is being amortized over 3 years.
Trademarks and tradenames have indefinite lives and are not being amortized. Goodwill for the
above acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Pro forma financial information is not presented in the aggregate for the aforementioned
acquisitions due to amounts not being materially different than actual results.

(Polytronics), a Taiwanese company whose shares are traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, and an
immaterial investment in Sumi Motherson, an Indian company, that were acquired as part of the
Littelfuse GmbH (formerly known as Heinrich Industries, AG) acquisition. The Companys Polytronics
shares held at June 27, 2009 and December 27, 2008 represent approximately 8.0% of total
Polytronics shares outstanding. The cost of the Polytronics investment at June 27, 2009 and
December 27, 2008 was 2.1 million. The fair value of the Polytronics investment was 3.6 million
(approximately $5.0 million) at June 27, 2009 and 2.1 million (approximately $2.9 million) at
December 27, 2008, based on the quoted market price at the close of business corresponding to each
date. Included in 2009 other comprehensive (loss) income was an unrealized gain of $2.0 million due
to the increase in fair market value for the six months ended June 27, 2009. The remaining movement
in the fair value of this investment was due to the impact of changes in exchange rates, which is
included as a component of the currency translation adjustments of other comprehensive (loss)
income.

Term Loan
On September 29, 2008, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with various lenders that provides
the Company with a five-year term loan facility of up to $80.0 million for the purposes of (i)
refinancing certain existing indebtedness; (ii) funding working capital needs; and (iii) funding
capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions. The
Loan Agreement also contains an expansion feature, pursuant to which the Company may from time to
time request incremental loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $40.0 million. The
Company had $68.0 million outstanding on the term loan at June 27, 2009.
At the Companys option, any loan under the Loan Agreement bears interest at a rate equal to the
applicable rate, as determined in accordance with the pricing grid set forth in the Loan Agreement,
plus one of the following indexes: (i) LIBOR or (ii) the Base Rate (defined as the higher of (a)
the prime rate publicly announced from time to time by the Agent under the Loan Agreement and (b)
the federal funds rate plus 0.50%). Overdue amounts bear a fee of 2.0% per annum above the
applicable rate. The actual interest rate applicable to the term loan was approximately 2.1% at
June 27, 2009.
The Loan Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial tests, including a consolidated
leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. The Loan Agreement also contains
additional affirmative and negative covenants which, among other things, impose certain limitations
on the Companys ability to merge with other companies, create liens on its property, incur
additional indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliates except on an arms length basis,
dispose of property, or issue dividends or make distributions. At June 27, 2009, the Company was in
compliance with all covenants.
Revolving Credit Facilities
On January 28, 2009, Startco entered into an unsecured financing arrangement with a foreign bank
that provided a CAD 10.0 million (equivalent to approximately $8.6 million at June 27, 2009)
revolving credit facility, for capital expenditures and general working capital, which expires on
July 21, 2011. This facility consists of prime-based loans and overdrafts, bankers acceptances and
U.S. base rate loans and overdrafts, and is guaranteed by the Company. At June 27, 2009, Startco
had approximately CAD 3.5 million (equivalent to approximately $3.0 million) available under the
revolving credit facility at an interest rate of bankers acceptance rate plus 1.62% (1.94% as of
June 27, 2009).
This agreement contains covenants that, among other matters, impose limitations on future mergers,
sales of assets, and changes in control, as defined in the agreement. In addition, the Company is
required to satisfy certain financial covenants and tests relating to, among other matters,
interest coverage, working capital, leverage and net worth. At June 27, 2009, Startco was in
compliance with all covenants.
The Company also has an unsecured domestic financing arrangement, which expires July 21, 2011,
consisting of a credit agreement with banks that provides a $75.0 million revolving credit
facility, with a potential increase of up to $125.0 million upon request of the Company and
agreement with the lenders. At June 27, 2009, the Company had available $75.0 million of borrowing
capacity under the revolving credit facility at an interest rate of
LIBOR
plus 0.75% (1.06% as of June 27, 2009).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
6. Debt, continued
The domestic bank credit agreement contains covenants that, among other matters, impose limitations
on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, future mergers, sales of assets, payment of
dividends, and changes in control, as defined in the agreement. In addition, the Company is
required to satisfy certain financial covenants and tests relating to, among other matters,
interest coverage, working capital, leverage and net worth. At June 27, 2009, the Company was in
compliance with these covenants.
Other Obligations
The Company has an unsecured bank line of credit in Japan that provides a 700 million yen (an
equivalent of $7.3 million at June 27, 2009) revolving credit facility at an interest rate of TIBOR
plus 0.625% (1.09% as of June 27, 2009). The revolving line of credit becomes due on July 21, 2011.
The Company had no outstanding borrowings on the yen facility at June 27, 2009.
The Company also had $2.3 million outstanding in letters of credit at June 27, 2009. No amounts
were drawn under these letters of credit at June 27, 2009.
7. Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Company uses financial instruments to manage its exposures to movements in commodity prices,
foreign exchange and interest rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the Companys
exposure to these risks with the goal of reducing the risk or cost to the Company. The Company does
not use derivatives for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivative contracts.
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in
the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value is based upon either market quotes for
actively traded instruments or independent bids for nonexchange traded instruments. The Company
formally documents its hedge relationships, including identifying the hedging instruments and the
hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge
transaction. This process includes linking derivatives that are designated as hedges of specific
assets, liabilities, firm commitments or forecasted transactions to the hedged risk. On the date
the derivative is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as a fair value hedge, cash
flow hedge or a net investment hedge, and accounts for the derivative in accordance with its
designation. The Company also formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly
thereafter, whether the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in either the fair
value or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be a highly
effective hedge, or if the anticipated transaction is no longer likely to occur, the Company
discontinues hedge accounting, and any deferred gains or losses are recorded in the respective
measurement period. The Company currently does not have any fair value or net investment hedge
instruments.
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to
derivative financial instruments, but we do not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their
obligations given their high credit ratings.

7. Financial Instruments and Risk Management, continued
Cash Flow Hedges
A hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid
related to a recognized asset or liability is designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective
portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge is
recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). When the impact of the hedged item is recognized in
the income statement, the gain or loss included in other comprehensive income (loss) is reported on
the same line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the hedged item. The Company
did not discontinue any cash flow hedges during the six months ended June 27, 2009.
Cash
Flow Hedge - Commodity Risk Management
In June 2008, the Company entered into an immaterial one-year swap agreement that concluded in May
2009 to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the cost of zinc, which is used extensively in the
manufacturing process of certain products. Amounts included in other comprehensive (loss) income
are reclassified into cost of sales in the period in which the hedged transaction is recognized in
earnings. As of June 27, 2009, the Companys zinc swap agreement had expired.
Cash
Flow Hedge - Currency Risk Management
In January 2009, the Company entered into a series of weekly forward contracts to buy Mexican pesos
to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the cost of this currency, which is used to fund payroll
and operating expenses at one of our Mexico manufacturing facilities. The operations of the Mexico
facility are accounted for within an entity where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. The
forward contracts run through December 28, 2009. Amounts included in other comprehensive (loss)
income are reclassified into cost of sales in the period in which the hedged transaction is
recognized in earnings. As of June 27, 2009, the notional amount of the Companys peso forward
contracts was approximately $8.3 million.
Non-Hedge Derivatives
Interest Rate Swap Transaction
On October 29, 2008, the Company entered into a one-year interest rate swap transaction with
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the adjustable interest rate of
the Loan Agreement. The swap agreement is for a notional amount of $65.0 million and requires the
Company to pay a fixed annual rate of 2.85% and JPMorgan Chase Bank, to pay a floating rate tied to
the one-month U.S. dollar LIBOR. Upon inception of the transaction, the Company did not elect hedge
accounting treatment as the interest rate swap was short-term in nature and was not deemed a
material transaction.

included $0.3 million in unrealized gains and $0.4 million in unrealized losses, respectively, for
derivatives, net of income taxes. The Company did not enter into any new derivative transactions
during the second quarter of 2009.
8. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches within the SFAS 157 fair
value measurement framework. Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of
observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most
observable inputs be used when available. SFAS 157 defines levels within the hierarchy based on
the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in
active markets;
Level 2Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or identical assets
or liabilities in less active markets, such as dealer or broker markets; and
Level 3Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or
significant value drivers are unobservable, such as pricing models, discounted cash flow models
and similar techniques not based on market, exchange, dealer or broker-traded transactions.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair
value and their classification in the valuation hierarchy.
Trading and available-for-sale securities
Equity securities listed on a national market or exchange are valued at the last sales price. Such
securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
8. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities, continued
Derivative instruments
The fair value of commodity derivatives are valued based on quoted futures prices for the
underlying commodity and are categorized as Level 2. The fair values of interest rate and foreign
exchange rate derivatives are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public
markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets and are categorized
as Level 2.
The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis categorized as Level 3, and there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the quarter
ended June 27, 2009. There were no changes during the quarter ended June 27, 2009, to the Companys
valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis. As of
June 27, 2009, the Company held no non-financial assets or liabilities that are required to be
measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

equivalents and accounts receivable approximate their fair values. The Companys long-term debt
fair value approximates book value at June 27, 2009 and December 27, 2008, respectively, as the
long-term debt variable interest rates fluctuate along with market interest rates.

charges of $17.1 million, consisting of $20.0 million of accrued severance less a statutory rebate
of $2.9 million recorded as a current asset, that were recorded as part of cost of sales. This

will be paid through 2009. All charges related to the closure of the Ireland facility were recorded

expected to be incurred through 2009 is $26.1 million. The Company has incurred $26.1 million

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2009 was 33.0% tax benefit compared to an
effective tax rate of 29.1% tax expense in the second quarter of 2008. The current quarter
effective tax rate was impacted by the mix of income (loss) earned in higher tax jurisdictions.
Subsequent to the adoption of FAS 141R, approximately $1.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits
that were reported as having no effective income tax affect in future periods will, if recognized,
favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods.

The expected rate of return assumption on domestic pension assets is 8.5% in 2009 and 2008.
On March 26, 2009, the Company amended its U.S.-based Amended and Restated Littelfuse, Inc.
Retirement Plan (the Pension Plan), freezing benefit accruals effective April 1, 2009 (FAS 88
event). The amendment provides that participants in the Pension Plan will not receive credit, other
than for vesting purposes, for eligible earnings paid or for any months of service worked after the
effective date. All accrued benefits under the Pension Plan as of the effective date will remain
intact, and service credits for vesting and retirement eligibility will continue in accordance with
the terms of the Pension Plan. As a result of the formal decision to freeze the Pension Plan
benefit accruals, the Company remeasured its Pension Plan assets and obligations at April 1, 2009,
which resulted in a decrease of the Pension Plan obligation of $10.5 million, with a corresponding
adjustment to other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes.
13. Business Unit Segment Information
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131),
establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprises operating segments and
related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. An
operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities
from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information
is regularly evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate
resources. The CODM, as defined by SFAS 131, is the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer
(CEO).
Littelfuse, Inc. and its subsidiaries design, manufacture and sell circuit protection devices
throughout the world. The Company reports its operations by the following business unit segments:
Electronics, Automotive, and Electrical. Each operating segment is directly responsible for sales,
marketing and research and development. Manufacturing, purchasing, logistics, customer service,
finance, information technology and human resources are shared functions that are allocated back to
the three operating segments. The CEO allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each
operating segment using information about its revenue and operating (loss) income before interest
and taxes, but does not evaluate the operating segments using discrete asset information.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
13. Business Unit Segment Information, continued
Sales, marketing and research and development expenses are charged directly into each operating
segment. All other functions are shared by the operating segments and expenses for these shared
functions are allocated to the operating segments and included in the operating results reported
below. The Company does not report inter-segment revenue because the operating segments do not
record it. The Company does not allocate interest and other income, interest expense, or taxes to
operating segments. Although the CEO uses operating (loss) income to evaluate the segments,
operating costs included in one segment may benefit other segments. Except as discussed above, the
accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.
Business unit segment information for the three and six months ended June 27, 2009 and June 28,
2008 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

14. Goodwill
The Company annually tests goodwill for impairment on the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter as
required by SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), or at an interim
date if there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates the asset may be impaired.
Management determines the fair value of each of its business unit segments by using a discounted
cash flow model (which includes forecasted five-year income statement and working capital
projections, a market-based weighted average cost of capital and terminal values after five years)
to estimate market value. The Company has defined its reportable segments as its reporting units
for goodwill accounting.
The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective and requires
significant judgment. Some of the factors management considered as indicators of possible
impairment include, but are not limited to, the current economic and business environment, the
Companys market capitalization, recent operating losses at the reporting unit level, restructuring
actions or plans, downward revisions to forecasts and industry trends. The general principle used
in determining whether an interim impairment test for goodwill is required is whether it is more
likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
As a result of the operating losses generated during the first quarter of 2009, and due to a
significant decrease in the Companys market capitalization in the first quarter of 2009,
management determined that a potential indicator of impairment existed and an interim test for
goodwill impairment was required. The Company performed a step one impairment test, in accordance
with paragraph 19 of SFAS 142, as of March 28, 2009 and concluded that the fair value of each of
the reporting units exceeded its carrying value of invested capital as of March 28, 2009 and
therefore, no goodwill impairment existed.
Specifically, the Company noted that its headroom, defined as the excess of fair value over the
carrying value of invested capital, was 2.0%, 8.4% and 55.6% for its electronics, automotive and
electrical reporting units, respectively at March 28, 2009. In addition, the Companys stock price
and corresponding market capitalization have increased significantly during the second quarter of
2009, from a closing price of $10.60, or approximately $230 million in market capitalization, on
March 27, 2009 to a closing price of $18.23, or approximately $396 million in market
capitalization, on May 4, 2009. Certain key assumptions used in the interim test include:

The Company concluded that no indicators of impairment were present during the second quarter of
2009 primarily as results for the second quarter of 2009 met or exceeded forecasted results
included in the first quarter 2009 impairment test for each reporting unit.
The Company will continue to perform a goodwill impairment test as required on an annual basis and
on an interim basis, if there is an event or change in circumstances that indicate the goodwill of
a reporting unit may be impaired.

Results
of Operations - Second Quarter, 2009
Net sales decreased $48.4 million or 32% to $101.4 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared
to $149.8 million in the second quarter of 2008, reflecting weak sales in all three business units
and negative currency effects.
Sales in the electronics business unit decreased $34.0 million or 36% to $61.5 million in the
second quarter of 2009 compared to $95.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, reflecting weaker
demand in all three regions as well as unfavorable currency impacts. Automotive sales decreased
$15.7 million or 40% to $23.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $38.9 million in
the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to weak demand in North America and Europe. Electrical
sales increased $1.3 million or 8% to $16.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $15.4
million in the second quarter of 2008 due to the inclusion of $5.3 million of the Companys
acquisition, Startco, sales partially off-set by a decline in power fuse sales. Startco was
acquired on September 30, 2008.
20
On a geographic basis, sales in the Americas decreased $18.2 million or 33% to $36.9 million in the
second quarter of 2009 compared to $55.1 million in the second quarter of 2008, primarily due to
weak demand across all three business units. Europe sales decreased $16.1 million or 45% to $19.7
million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $35.8 million in the second quarter of 2008
mainly due to weak automotive and electronic sales and unfavorable currency effects. Asia-Pacific
sales decreased $14.1 million or 24% to $44.8 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to
$58.9 million in the second quarter on 2008 primarily due to declines in electronic revenue and
unfavorable currency effects.
Gross profit was $25.4 million or 25% of net sales for the second quarter of 2009, compared to
$47.5 million or 32% of net sales in the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross margin was
mainly attributable to loss of operating leverage due to low volumes and restructuring charges.
Total operating expense was $28.9 million or 28% of net sales for the second quarter of 2009
compared to $34.2 million or 23% of net sales for the same quarter in 2008. The decrease in
operating expense primarily reflects savings generated by cost saving programs partially offset by
current restructuring charges of approximately $3.0 million.
Operating loss was $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to operating income of
$13.3 million for the same quarter in 2008.
Interest expense was $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $0.4 million for the
same quarter in 2008. The increase in interest expense is due to higher outstanding debt during the
second quarter of 2009 when compared to the second quarter of 2008. Other expense (income), net,
consisting of interest income, royalties, non-operating income and foreign currency items, was
($0.2) million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $0.1 million in the second quarter of
2008. The more favorable result in 2009 primarily reflects the impact from foreign exchange
settlements.
Loss before income taxes was $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to income before
income taxes of $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2008. Income tax benefit was $1.3 million
with an effective tax rate of 33.0% for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $3.8 million with an
effective tax rate of 29.1% in the second quarter of 2008. The current quarter effective tax rate
was negatively impacted by the mix of income (loss) earned in higher tax jurisdictions.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $2.6 million or $0.12 per diluted share compared to net
income of $9.1 million or $0.42 per diluted share for the same quarter of 2008.
Results
of Operations - Six Months, 2009
Net sales decreased $97.7 million or 35% to $185.8 million in the first six months of 2009 compared
to $283.5 million in the first six months of 2008, reflecting weak demand in all three business
units.
Sales in the electronics business unit decreased $67.6 million or 37% to $112.8 million in the
first six months of 2009 compared to $180.4 million in the first six months of 2008, reflecting
weak demand in all three regions. Automotive sales decreased $33.6 million or 45% to $41.6 million
in the first six months of 2009 compared to $75.2 million in the first six months of 2008 due to
weak demand in the passenger vehicle market in North America and Europe and declines in the
off-road truck and bus market globally. Electrical sales increased $3.5 million or 13% to $31.4
million in the first six months of 2009 compared to $27.9 million in the first six months of 2008
due to the inclusion of $9.6 million of Startco sales partially off-set by weaker demand for power
fuses.
On a geographic basis, sales in the Americas decreased $31.1 million or 30% to $73.7 million in the
first six months of 2009 compared to $104.8 million in the first six months of 2008, primarily due
to weak demand across all three business units partially off-set by the inclusion of Startco
revenues. Europe sales decreased $31.8 million or 46% to $37.3 million in the first six months of
2009 compared to $69.1 million in the first six months of 2008 mainly due to weak automotive and
electronics sales and unfavorable currency effects. Asia-Pacific sales decreased
21
$34.8 million
or 32% to $74.8 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to $109.6 million in the first six
months on 2008 primarily due to weak demand for electronics products and unfavorable currency
effects.
Gross profit was $43.7 million or 24% of net sales for the first six months of 2009, compared to
$85.9 million or 30% of net sales in the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin was
mainly attributable to loss of operating leverage because of low volumes and restructuring charges.
Total operating expense was $57.2 million or 31% of net sales for the first six months of 2009
compared to $66.3 million or 23% of net sales for the same period in 2008. The decrease in
operating expense primarily reflects savings generated by cost saving programs partially offset by
current restructuring charges of approximately $3.0 million.
Operating loss was $13.6 million for the first six months of 2009 compared to operating income of
$19.6 million for the same period in 2008.
Interest expense was $1.3 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to $0.7 million for the
first six months of 2008. The increase in interest expense is due to higher outstanding debt during
the first six months of 2009 compared to the first six months of 2008. Other expense (income), net,
consisting of interest income, royalties, non-operating income and foreign currency items, was
($1.1) million for the first six months of 2009 compared to $0.4 million in the first six months of
2008. The more favorable result in 2009 primarily reflects the impact from foreign exchange
settlements.
Loss before income taxes was $13.7 million for the first six months of 2009 compared to income
before income taxes of $18.5 million for the first six months of 2008. Income tax benefit was $3.4
million with an effective tax rate of 24.6% for the first six months of 2009 compared to income
before income taxes of $5.3 million with an effective tax rate of 28.5% in the first six months of
2008. The lower effective tax rate is due to the mix of income (loss) earned in lower tax
jurisdictions.
Net loss for the first six months of 2009 was $10.4 million or $0.48 per diluted share compared to
net income of $13.3 million or $0.61 per diluted share for the same period last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company historically has financed capital expenditures through cash flows from operations.
Despite the recent adverse changes in market conditions, management expects that cash flows from
operations and available lines of credit will be sufficient to support both the Companys
operations and its debt obligations for the foreseeable future.
Term Loan
On September 29, 2008, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with various lenders that provides
the Company with a five-year term loan facility of up to $80.0 million for the purposes of (i)
refinancing certain existing indebtedness; (ii) funding working capital needs; and (iii) funding
capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions. The
Loan Agreement also contains an expansion feature, pursuant to which the Company may from time to
time request incremental loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $40.0 million. The
Company had $68.0 million outstanding at June 27, 2009. Further information regarding this
arrangement is provided in Note 6.
The Loan Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial tests, including a consolidated
leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. The Loan Agreement also contains
additional affirmative and negative covenants which, among other things, impose certain limitations
on the Companys ability to merge with other companies, create liens on its property, incur
additional indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliates except on an arms length basis,
dispose of property, or issue dividends or make distributions. At June 27, 2009, the Company was in
compliance with all covenants.
Revolving Credit Facilities
On January 28, 2009, Startco entered into an unsecured financing arrangement with a foreign bank
that provided a CAD 10.0 million (equivalent to approximately $8.6 million at June 27, 2009)
revolving credit facility, for capital expenditures and general working capital, which expires on
July 21, 2011. This facility consists of prime-based loans and overdrafts, bankers acceptances and
U.S. base rate loans and overdrafts, and is guaranteed by the Company. At June 27, 2009, Startco
had approximately CAD 3.5 million (equivalent to approximately $3.0 million
at June 27, 2009) available under the revolving credit facility at an interest rate of bankers
acceptance rate plus 1.62% (1.94% as of June 27, 2009).
22
This agreement contains covenants that, among other matters, impose limitations on future mergers,
sales of assets, and changes in control, as defined in the agreement. In addition, the Company is
required to satisfy certain financial covenants and tests relating to, among other matters,
interest coverage, working capital, leverage and net worth. At June 27, 2009, Startco was in
compliance with all covenants.
The Company also has an unsecured domestic financing arrangement consisting of a credit agreement
with banks that provides a $75.0 million revolving credit facility, with a potential increase of up
to $125.0 million upon request of the Company and agreement with the lenders, which expires on July
21, 2011. At June 27, 2009, the Company had available $75.0 million of borrowing capacity under the
revolving credit facility at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.75% (1.06% as of June 27, 2009).
The domestic bank credit agreement contains covenants that, among other matters, impose limitations
on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, future mergers, sales of assets, payment of
dividends, and changes in control, as defined in the agreement. In addition, the Company is
required to satisfy certain financial covenants and tests relating to, among other matters,
interest coverage, working capital, leverage and net worth. At June 27, 2009, the Company was in
compliance with all covenants.
Other Obligations
The Company has an unsecured bank line of credit in Japan that provides a 700 million yen (an
equivalent of $7.3 million at June 27, 2009) revolving credit facility at an interest rate of TIBOR
plus 0.625% (1.09% as of June 27, 2009). The revolving line of credit becomes due on July 21, 2011.
The Company had no outstanding borrowings on the yen facility at June 27, 2009.
The Company also had $2.3 million outstanding in letters of credit at June 27, 2009. No amounts
were drawn under these letters of credit at June 27, 2009.
The Company started 2009 with $70.9 million of cash and cash equivalents. Net cash used in
operating activities was approximately $4.2 million for the first six months of 2009 reflecting a
$10.4 million net loss and $15.0 million used to fund various working capital needs, partially
offset by $21.2 million in non-cash adjustments (primarily $18.0 million in depreciation and
amortization and $2.6 million in stock-based compensation). Working capital needs (including
short-term and long-term items) that impacted cash flows in 2009 consisted of net decreases in
accrued payroll and severance ($4.7 million), accounts payable and accrued expenses ($6.5 million),
accrued taxes ($7.9 million), increases in accounts receivable ($5.9 million), prepaid expenses and
other ($1.5 million), partially offset by a decrease in inventories ($11.5 million).
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $12.2 million and included $11.4 million in
capital spending, related to the Companys manufacturing plant expansion in the Asia-Pacific
region, new production facilities in Canada, office space for the Companys new U.S. headquarters
and a $0.9 million payment associated with the Shock Block acquisition (refer to Note 3). Net cash
used in financing activities included net payments of debt of $6.4 million. The effects of
exchange rate changes did not significantly impact cash and cash equivalents. The net cash used in
operating activities and investing activities combined with the effects of exchange rate changes
less net cash provided by financing activities resulted in a $22.6 million decrease in cash, which
left the Company with a cash balance of approximately $48.3 million at June 27, 2009.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.1 to 1 at the end of the second quarter of
2009 and at year-end 2008 and 2.4 to 1 at the end of the second quarter of 2008. Days sales
outstanding in accounts receivable was approximately 62 days at the end of the second quarter of
2009, compared to 57 days at the end of the second quarter of 2008 and 53 days at year-end 2008.
The increase in days sales outstanding was due primarily to accelerating sales during the first
half of 2009. Days inventory outstanding was approximately 66 days at the end of the second
quarter of 2009 compared to 71 days at the year-end 2008 and 56 days at end of the second quarter
of 2008. The decrease in days inventory outstanding from year-end 2008 to the second quarter of
2009 is a result of inventory balances declining at a faster rate than cost of sales for the same
period. This had a positive impact on the days inventory outstanding ratio for the quarter ended
2009 as compared to the year ended December 27, 2008. The increase in days inventory outstanding
from the second quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2009 is a result of cost of goods sold
declining at a faster rate than inventory balances for the same period. This had a negative impact
on the days inventory outstanding ratio for the second quarter ended 2009 as compared to the second
quarter of 2008.
23
Outlook
The Companys automotive and electronics markets continued to show weakness in the first half of
2009 as a result of the sharp downturn in the global economy that began in 2008. The Company
believes this weakness could continue through all of 2009 and into 2010. The electrical business
also weakened in the first half of 2009 and could be further impacted by declining non-residential
construction into 2010.
In 2005, the Company initiated a phased transition to consolidate its manufacturing into fewer
facilities in low-cost locations in China, the Philippines and Mexico. These manufacturing transfer
programs remain on or ahead of schedule and are expected to generate approximately $20 million in
cost savings in 2009 and additional savings in 2010.
In addition, the Company began executing a plan that is expected to reduce operating expenses by
approximately $20 million and manufacturing costs by approximately $10 million over and above the
$20 million in transfer-related savings for 2009. These cost savings are expected to reduce the
Companys breakeven point and position the Company for improved profitability when the global
economy recovers.
The Company is also taking actions to reduce capital spending. Capital spending for 2009 is now
expected to be approximately $21 million and is expected to be below $20 million in 2010.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA).
The statements in this section and the other sections of this report that are not historical facts
are intended to constitute forward-looking statements entitled to the safe-harbor provisions of
the PSRLA. These statements may involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to,
risks relating to product demand and market acceptance, economic conditions, the impact of
competitive products and pricing, product quality problems or product recalls, capacity and supply
difficulties or constraints, coal mining exposures reserves, failure of an indemnification for
environmental liability, exchange rate fluctuations, commodity price fluctuations, the effect of
the Companys accounting policies, labor disputes, restructuring costs in excess of expectations,
pension plan asset returns less than assumed, integration of acquisitions and other risks which may
be detailed in the Companys other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Should one or more
of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those indicated or implied in the
forward-looking statements. This report should be read in conjunction with information provided in
the financial statements appearing in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 27, 2008. For a further discussion of the risk factors of the Company, please
see Item 1A.
Risk Factors to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2008.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and
commodities.
Interest Rates
The Company had $68.0 million in debt outstanding under its term loan at June 27, 2009, which is
described above in Item 2 under Liquidity and Capital Resources. In order to reduce interest rate
risk and effectively manage its exposure to fluctuations in the adjustable interest rate of the
loan, the Company entered into a one-year interest rate swap transaction with JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A. on October 29, 2008. The interest rate swap is for a notional amount of $65.0 million and
allows the Company to pay a fixed annual rate of 2.85% on the notional amount and requires JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A. to pay a floating rate tied to the one-month U.S. dollar LIBOR.
The
Company also had $5.6 million in debt outstanding under revolving credit facilities at June 27,
2009, at variable rates. While 100% of this debt has variable interest rates, the Companys
interest expense is not materially sensitive to changes in interest rate levels since debt levels
and potential interest expense increases are small relative to earnings.
24
Foreign Exchange Rates
The majority of the Companys operations consist of manufacturing and sales activities in foreign
countries. The Company has manufacturing facilities in Mexico, Canada, Germany, China, Taiwan and
the Philippines. During the second quarter of 2009, sales to customers outside the U.S. were 66% of
total net sales. Substantially all sales in Europe are denominated in euros and substantially all
sales in the Asia-Pacific region are denominated in U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, Korean won, Chinese
yuan or Taiwanese dollars.
The Companys foreign exchange exposures result primarily from sale of products in foreign
currencies, foreign currency denominated purchases, employee-related and other costs of running
operations in foreign countries and translation of balance sheet accounts denominated in foreign
currencies. The Companys most significant long exposure is to the euro, with lesser long exposures
to the Canadian dollar, Japanese yen and Korean won. The Companys most significant short exposures
are to the Mexican peso, Philippine peso and Chinese yuan. Changes in foreign exchange rates could
affect the Companys sales, costs, balance sheet values and earnings. The Company uses netting and
offsetting intercompany account management techniques to reduce known foreign currency exposures
where possible and also, from time to time, utilizes derivative instruments to hedge certain
foreign currency exposures deemed to be material.
Commodities
The Company uses various metals in the manufacturing of its products, including copper, zinc, tin,
gold and silver. Prices of these commodities can and do fluctuate significantly, which can impact
the Companys earnings. The most significant of these exposures is to copper, where at current
prices and volumes, a 10% price change would affect pre-tax profit by approximately $0.5 million.
During the second quarter of 2008, the Company entered into a one-year swap agreement to mitigate
its exposure to fluctuations in the price of zinc, which expired in May 2009. Further information
regarding this commodity contract is provided in Note 6.
The Company purchases a particular type of silicon as a raw material for many of its semiconductor
products. Market demand for this commodity fluctuated significantly during 2008, but has stabilized
during the first half of 2009. The Company is taking actions to ensure access to adequate sources
of supply to meet its expected future demand for this material.
The cost of oil fluctuated dramatically during 2008, but has stabilized during the first quarter of
2009. However, there is a risk that a return to high prices for oil and electricity during the
remainder of 2009 could have a significant impact on the Companys transportation and utility
expenses.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of June 27, 2009, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company
evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and concluded
that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information
relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries has been made known to them by the
employees of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries during the period preceding the filing
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There were no significant changes in the Companys internal
controls during the period covered by this Report that could materially affect these controls or
could reasonably be expected to materially affect the Companys internal control reporting,
disclosures and procedures subsequent to the last day they were evaluated by the Companys Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
