NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In
Millions, Except Per Share Amounts)
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are unaudited;
however, in the opinion of management of Lexmark International, Inc. (together
with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Lexmark”), all adjustments necessary
for a fair statement of the interim financial results have been included. The
results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the entire year. The Consolidated Condensed Statement of Financial
Position data as of December 31, 2007 was derived from audited financial
statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”). The
Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission audited consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, on Form 10-K, which
included all information and notes necessary for such presentation. Accordingly,
these financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the
Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
2. FAIR
VALUE
General
The
Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements ("FAS 157") effective January 1, 2008. FAS 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The standard 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. As part of the
framework for measuring fair value, FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy of inputs to
valuation techniques 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.
The
Company has not applied the provisions of FAS 157 to any nonrecurring,
nonfinancial fair value measurements as permitted under Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position No. 157-2 ("FSP FAS 157-2"). Refer to
Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for
additional information regarding FSP FAS 157-2. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the inputs and techniques used in these measurements, including such
items as impairment assessments of fixed assets, initial recognition of asset
retirement obligations, and goodwill impairment testing.
The
provisions of FASB Staff Position No. 157-3 (“FSP FAS 157-3”) Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active, issued
October 10, 2008, were also considered in preparation of the third quarter 2008
financial statements. Refer to Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements for additional information regarding FSP FAS
157-3.
Fair
Value Hierarchy
The three
levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are:
·
|
Level
1 -- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical,
unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to
access at the measurement date;
|
·
|
Level
2 -- Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
and
|
·
|
Level
3 -- Unobservable inputs used in valuations in which there is little
market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement
date.
|
Fair
value measurements of assets and liabilities are assigned a level within the
fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of any input that is significant
to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Excluded
from the table above were financial instruments included in Cash and cash equivalents on
the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position. The Company’s
policy is to consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less at the Company’s date of purchase to be a cash equivalent.
Investments considered cash equivalents, which closely approximate fair value as
described in the Company’s policy above, include roughly $231 million of money
market funds, $69 million of commercial paper, $46 million of agency debt
securities, and $20 million of treasury bills.

Realized
and unrealized losses of $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2008 and $5.1
million year to date 2008 were included in Other (income) expense, net
on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Losses of $4.7 million and
$5.1 million included in earnings for the quarter and nine month period are
attributable to the change in fair value of certain distressed corporate bonds
and mortgage-backed securities held at September 30, 2008, deemed to be other
than temporarily impaired, and are reported in Other (income) expense, net.
The quarter and year to date losses were primarily driven by the Lehman Brothers
bankruptcy which resulted in a $4.4 million other than temporary impairment
charge.
Transfers
in to Level 3 in the third quarter of 2008 included Lehman Brothers distressed
corporate debt securities which were subsequently written down based on
indicative pricing as indicated in the preceding paragraph as well as various
corporate bonds and mortgage backed securities for which current pricing was not
available due to a decrease in trading activity.
Interest
rate swap contracts, which served as a fair value hedge of the Company's senior
notes that matured in May 2008, were also considered a Level 3 fair value
measurement. Because the short-cut method of FAS 133 was used to record the fair
value of the interest rate swaps, the Company believes it is clearer to describe
the activity in narrative form rather than to include the change in fair value
in the Level 3 year to date rollforward above. The fair values of the interest
rate swaps at December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008 were assets of $0.1 million
and $0.3 million, respectively. Final settlement occurred in May 2008, resulting
in net cash proceeds of $0.8 million. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has
not entered into any new interest rate swap contracts.
Valuation
Techniques
The
Company generally uses a market approach, when practicable, in valuing the
following financial instruments. In certain instances, when observable market
data is lacking, the Company uses valuation techniques consistent with the
income approach whereby future cash flows are converted to a single discounted
amount.
Marketable
Securities
The
Company evaluates its marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115,
Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and has determined that all of
its investments in marketable securities should be classified as
available-for-sale and reported at fair value. The fair values of the
Company's available-for-sale marketable securities are based on quoted market
prices or other observable market data, or in some cases, internally developed
inputs and assumptions (discounted cash flow model) when observable market data
does not exist. The Company uses a third party to provide the fair values of the
securities in which Lexmark is invested. In limited instances, the Company has
adjusted the fair values provided by the third party service provider in order
to better reflect the risk adjustments that market participants would make for
nonperformance and liquidity risks.
Level 1
fair value measurements are based on quoted market prices in active markets and
include U.S. government and agency securities. These valuations are
performed using a consensus price method, whereby prices from a variety of
industry data providers are input into a distribution-curve based algorithm to
determine daily market values.
Level 2
fair value measurements are based on quoted prices in markets that are not
active, broker dealer quotations, or other methods by which all significant
inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Securities utilizing Level
2 inputs are primarily corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and
mortgage-backed securities, all of which are valued using the consensus price
method described previously. Level 2 fair value measurements also include
smaller amounts of commercial paper and certificates of deposit which generally
have shorter maturities and less frequent market trades. Such
securities are valued via mathematical calculations using observable inputs
until such time that market activity reflects an updated price.
Level 3
fair value measurements are based on inputs that are unobservable and
significant to the overall valuation. Level 3 fair value measurements include
security types that do not have readily determinable market values and/or are
not priced by independent data sources, including auction rate securities for
which recent auctions were unsuccessful, valued at $26.9 million, certain
corporate debt securities and mortgage-backed securities with stale pricing data
valued at $5.5 million, and certain distressed debt instruments valued at $0.9
million.
The
Company performed a discounted cash flow analysis on its auction rate
securities, using current coupon rates, a first quarter 2010 redemption date and
a 50 basis point liquidity premium factored into the discount
rate. The result was a slight downward adjustment of $0.4 million in
the third quarter of 2008 representing the Company’s best estimate of fair value
using assumptions that the Company believes market participants would make for
nonperformance and liquidity risk at the measurement date. Nearly all of the
auction rate securities held by the Company are highly rated and the Company
believes it has sufficient liquidity to hold these securities until sold or
repurchased at par. The securities issuers have the legal option to redeem the
securities at par plus accrued interest at each auction rate reset date and the
securities are being made available for sale at par at auctions every 35 to 49
days. Nearly all of the auction rate securities held by the Company at September
30, 2008 are paying penalty rates that carry an economic incentive for
alternative investors to buy the securities at upcoming auctions and issuers to
refinance these securities in the capital markets prior to maturity. In the
third quarter of 2008, approximately $8.1 million of auction rate fixed income
securities were either sold or redeemed at par, resulting in no realized losses
year to date for the Company’s auction rate securities.
For
certain corporate debt and mortgage-backed securities, current pricing data was
no longer available at the measurement date, representing a decline in the
volume and level of trading activity. The Company used the last known
price of these securities and other unobservable inputs as its best estimate of
fair value under current market conditions, recognizing that the inputs
significant to the valuation were no longer observable at the measurement date
and reclassifying the securities to a level 3 fair value
measurement.
The
Company holds certain debt instruments that it considers distressed due to
reasons such as bankruptcy or a significant downgrade in credit rating. These
securities are generally valued using non-binding quotes from brokers or other
indicative pricing sources. Lehman Brothers corporate debt securities are
included in this category, carried at an adjusted fair value of $0.6 million at
September 30, 2008 based on a price of 12.5 cents on the dollar.
Derivatives
The
Company employs a foreign currency risk management strategy that periodically
utilizes derivative instruments to protect its interests from unanticipated
fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by volatility in currency
exchange rates. Fair values for the Company’s derivative financial
instruments are based on pricing models or formulas using current market data.
Variables used in the calculations include forward points and spot rates at the
time of valuation. Because of the very short duration of the Company’s
transactional hedges (three months or less) and minimal risk of nonperformance,
the settlement price and exit price should approximate one another. At September
30, 2008, all of the Company's forward exchange contracts have been designated
as Level 2 measurements in the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy.
Senior
Notes
In the
second quarter of 2008, the Company repaid its $150 million of senior note debt
that matured on May 15, 2008, and subsequently issued $350 million of five-year
fixed rate senior unsecured notes as well as $300 million of ten-year fixed rate
senior unsecured notes. At September 30, 2008, the fair values of the Company's
five-year and ten-year notes were estimated to be $343.7 million and $274.8
million, respectively, using quoted market prices. The $618.5 million total fair
value of the debt is not recorded on the Company's Consolidated Condensed
Statements of Financial Position and is therefore excluded from the fair value
table above. The total carrying value of the senior notes, net of
$1.3 million discount, is $648.7 million on the Consolidated Condensed
Statements of Financial Position. Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 4 of the Notes
to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information
regarding the senior notes.
Assets
and (Liabilities) Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Subsequent to
Initial Recognition
The
Company has not applied the provisions of FAS 157 to any nonrecurring,
nonfinancial fair value measurements as permitted under FSP FAS 157-2. In the
first quarter of 2009, the Company will begin applying the provisions of FAS 157
to such measurements including the accounting for fixed asset related matters
under scope of FAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
3. RESTRUCTURING
AND RELATED CHARGES (REVERSALS)
2008
Restructuring
General
To
enhance the efficiency of the Company’s inkjet cartridge manufacturing
operations, the Company announced a plan (the “2008 Restructuring Plan”) on July
22, 2008 that will result in the closure of one of the Company’s inkjet supplies
manufacturing facilities in Mexico.
The 2008
Restructuring Plan is expected to impact approximately 650 positions by the end
of 2008 with most of the impacted positions being moved to a lower-cost country.
The Company expects the 2008 Restructuring Plan will result in pre-tax charges
of approximately $20 million, of which $3 million will require cash.
The charges for the 2008 Restructuring Plan will impact the Company’s Consumer
segment. The Company expects the 2008 Restructuring Plan to be substantially
completed by the end of 2008.
Impact to 2008 Financial
Results

Restructuring
General
As part
of the Company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its cost and expense structure, the
Company continually reviews its resources in light of a variety of factors. On
October 23, 2007, the Company announced a plan (the “2007 Restructuring
Plan”) which includes:
|
•
|
Closing
one of the Company’s inkjet supplies manufacturing facilities in Mexico
and additional optimization measures at the remaining inkjet facilities in
Mexico and the Philippines;
|
|
•
|
Reducing
the Company’s business support cost and expense structure by further
consolidating activity globally and expanding the use of shared service
centers in lower-cost regions--the areas impacted are supply chain,
service delivery, general and administrative expense, as well as marketing
and sales support functions; and
|
|
•
|
Focusing
consumer segment marketing and sales efforts into countries or geographic
regions that have the highest supplies
usage.
|
The 2007
Restructuring Plan is expected to impact approximately 1,650 positions by the
end of 2008. Most of the impacted positions are being moved to lower-cost
countries. The Company expects the 2007 Restructuring Plan will result in
pre-tax charges of approximately $55 million, of which $40 million
will require cash. The Company expects to incur charges related to the 2007
Restructuring Plan of approximately $14 million in its Business segment,
approximately $19 million in its Consumer segment and approximately
$22 million in All other. The Company expects the 2007 Restructuring Plan
to be substantially completed by the end of 2008.

4. DEBT
Senior
Notes – Long-term Debt
In May
2008, the Company repaid its $150.0 million principal amount of 6.75% senior
notes that were due on May 15, 2008. Additionally, in May 2008, the Company
completed a public debt offering of $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of
fixed rate senior unsecured notes. The notes are split into two tranches of
five- and ten-year notes, respectively. The five-year notes with an
aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million and 5.90% coupon were priced at
99.83% to have an effective yield to maturity of 5.939% and will mature June 1,
2013 (referred to as the “2013 senior notes”). The ten-year notes with an
aggregate principal amount of $300 million and 6.65% coupon were priced at
99.73% to have an effective yield to maturity of 6.687% and will mature June 1,
2018 (referred to as the “2018 senior notes”). At September 30, 2008, the
outstanding balance was $648.7 million (net of unamortized discount of $1.3
million).
The 2013
and 2018 senior notes (collectively referred to as the “senior notes”) will pay
interest on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2008. The
interest rate payable on the notes of each series will be subject to adjustments
from time to time if either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and
Poor’s Ratings Services downgrades the debt rating assigned to the notes to a
level below investment grade, or subsequently upgrades the ratings.
The
senior notes contain typical restrictions on liens, sale leaseback transactions,
mergers and sales of assets. There are no sinking fund requirements on the
senior notes and they may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Company,
at a redemption price as described in the related indenture agreement, as
supplemented and amended, in whole or in part. If a “change of
control triggering event” as defined below occurs, the Company will be required
to make an offer to repurchase the notes in cash from the holders at a price
equal to 101% of their aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase. A “change of
control triggering event” is defined as the occurrence of both a change of
control and a downgrade in the debt rating assigned to the notes to a level
below investment grade.
The
Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate
purposes, including to fund share repurchases, repay debt, finance acquisitions,
finance capital expenditures and operating expenses and invest in any
subsidiaries.
5. MARKETABLE
SECURITIES
Lexmark
has investments in marketable securities which are classified and accounted for
as available-for-sale in accordance with FAS 115 Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the
Company’s marketable securities portfolio consisted of asset-backed and
mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities, municipal debt
securities, U.S. government and agency debt securities, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, and preferred securities, including approximately $26.9
million and $79 million, respectively, of auction rate
securities.
Market
conditions continue to indicate significant uncertainty on the part of investors
on the economic outlook for the U.S. and for financial institutions. This
uncertainty has created reduced liquidity across the fixed income investment
market, including the securities in which Lexmark is invested. As a result, some
of the Company’s investments have experienced reduced liquidity including
unsuccessful auctions for its auction rate security holdings as well as
temporary and other than temporary impairment of other marketable
securities.
Auction
rate securities
Auction
rate securities that do not successfully auction reset to the maximum rate as
prescribed in the underlying offering statement. During the first quarter of
2008, the Company reclassified $59.4 million in auction rate fixed income
securities from Current
assets to Noncurrent
assets on its Consolidated Condensed Statement of Financial Position due
to the fact that the securities had experienced unsuccessful auctions and poor
debt market conditions had reduced the likelihood that the securities would
successfully auction within the next 12 months. During the second
quarter of 2008, approximately $24 million of auction rate fixed income
securities were either sold or redeemed at par. In addition, $4.1
million were reclassified back to Current assets, as the
Company had been notified by the issuer that the securities would be called at
par, leaving a balance of $31.3 million in Noncurrent
assets.
In the
third quarter of 2008, approximately $8.1 million of auction rate fixed income
securities were either sold or redeemed at par. Although no realized losses have
occurred in 2008, the remaining auction rate securities were written down $0.4
million through Accumulated
other comprehensive loss to their estimated fair value based on the
discounted cash flow analysis performed by the Company. As of September 30,
2008, the remaining balance of auction rate fixed income securities classified
in Noncurrent assets is
$26.9 million. All of the Company’s auction rate securities continue to be
current with their interest and dividend payments.
Based on
Lexmark’s assessment of the credit quality of the underlying collateral and
credit support available to each of the auction rate securities in which the
Company is invested, it believes no other than temporary impairment has
occurred. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until
liquidity in the market or optional issuer redemption occurs and could also hold
the securities to maturity. Additionally, if Lexmark required capital, the
Company has available liquidity through its accounts receivable program and
revolving credit facility.
Impairment
The third
quarter of 2008 saw several significant market events, including the bankruptcy
of Lehman Brothers Holdings. Lexmark recognized a $4.4 million charge
in Other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated
Condensed Statements of Earnings for other than temporary impairment of its
Lehman Brothers corporate debt securities, based on indicative pricing. In
addition, the Company has recognized a cumulative, pre-tax valuation allowance
of $3.9 million included in Accumulated other comprehensive
loss on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position,
representing a temporary impairment of the overall portfolio. The
Company considers several factors in evaluating whether impairment is temporary
or other than temporary, including but not limited to the length of time and
extent to which fair value is less than cost as well as the Company’s ability
and intent to hold the security until the anticipated time of recovery in fair
value.
As of
November 4, 2008, the Company does not believe that it has a material risk
in its current portfolio of investments that would impact its financial
condition or liquidity.

8. INCOME
TAXES
The Provision (benefit) for income
taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was an expense of $12
million, or an effective tax rate of 25.2%. For the three months
ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s tax provision was a benefit of $18
million. For that period the Company reduced tax expense by $13
million as the result of a settlement of a tax audit outside the U.S. and
additionally during that period, the Company reduced its full year provision by
approximately $11 million due to a reduction of the expected annual effective
tax rate compared to the first two quarters due to the geographic shift of
worldwide earnings. The $11 million benefit was based on the reduced
expected annual effective tax rate compared to the previously expected tax rate
applied to the Company’s earnings for the first two quarters of
2007.
The Provision (benefit) for income
taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was an expense of $59
million, or an effective tax rate of 21.0%. For that period the
Company reduced tax expense by $12 million, primarily due to settling various
tax audits and due to the recognition of a previously unrecognized tax benefit
related to a tax position taken in a prior period. The Company’s tax
expense was $26 million, or an effective tax rate of 11.5%, for the same period
in 2007. For that period, in addition to the tax audit settlement in the third
quarter of 2007 discussed above, the Company reduced tax expense by $6 million
as the result of adjustments made to the Company’s deferred tax
assets.
The
Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2008 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% generally because a
portion of the Company’s earnings outside the U.S. is taxed at an effective rate
that is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, coupled with the special
items described above.
The
Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2007 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% generally because (1)
a portion of the Company’s earnings outside the U.S. was taxed at an effective
rate lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate and (2) the U.S. Research and
Experimentation tax credit was in effect during 2007.
9. STOCKHOLDERS’
EQUITY
In May
2008, the Company received authorization from the Board of Directors to
repurchase an additional $750 million of its Class A Common Stock for a
total repurchase authority of $4.65 billion. As of September 30, 2008,
there was approximately $0.6 billion of share repurchase authority
remaining. This repurchase authority allows the Company, at management’s
discretion, to selectively repurchase its stock from time to time in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions depending upon market price and
other factors. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company
repurchased approximately 7.7 million shares at a cost of approximately $274
million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company repurchased
approximately 12.3 million shares at a cost of approximately $432 million. As of
September 30, 2008, since the inception of the program in April 1996, the
Company had repurchased approximately 86.4 million shares for an aggregate
cost of approximately $4.0 billion. As of September 30, 2008, the Company
had reissued approximately 0.5 million shares of previously repurchased
shares in connection with certain of its employee benefit programs. As a result
of these issuances as well as the retirement of 44.0 million and
16.0 million shares of treasury stock in 2005 and 2006, respectively, the
net treasury shares held at September 30, 2008 were 25.9 million. The
numbers provided in this footnote include the effect of the initial purchase
transaction executed under the Company’s accelerated share repurchase program
agreement described below, 3.5 million shares at a cost of $127.5
million.
Accelerated
Share Repurchase Program
On August
28, 2008, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement
(“ASR”) with a financial institution counterparty. Under the terms of
the ASR, the Company paid $150.0 million targeting 4.1 million shares based on
an initial price of $36.90. The Company took delivery of 85% of the shares, or
3.5 million shares at a cost of $127.5 million, and decreased the shares
outstanding used for the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per
share on the date of delivery. The shares delivered to Lexmark are currently
held in Treasury. The remaining 15% of the payment, or $22.5 million holdback
provision payment, has been applied against Capital in excess of par
until final settlement of the contract in the fourth quarter of 2008 and is
included in Other in
the Financing section of the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash
Flows.
The final
number of shares to be delivered by the counterparty under the ASR is dependent
on the average, volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock over
the agreement’s trading period, a discount and the initial number of shares
delivered. Under the terms of the ASR, the Company would either receive
additional shares from the counterparty or be required to deliver additional
shares or cash to the counterparty. The Company controlled its election to
either deliver additional shares or cash to the counterparty. The settlement
provision was essentially a forward contract, and was accounted for under the
provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock
as an equity instrument. On September 30, 2008, the Company evaluated the
forward contract in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Topic
No. D-72 Effect of Contracts
That May Be Settled in Stock or Cash on the Computation of Diluted Earnings per
Share and concluded that the effect would have been antidilutive and
therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per
share. On October 21, 2008, the counterparty delivered 1.2 million
shares in final settlement of the agreement.

stock units and stock options totaling an additional 10.5 million and 11.5
million shares of Class A Common Stock for the three month periods and 10.5
million and 5.7 million shares of Class A Common Stock for
the nine
month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were outstanding
but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because
the effect would have been antidilutive.
On August
28, 2008, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”)
agreement with a financial institution counterparty. Under the terms
of the ASR, the Company repurchased 3.5 million shares for $127.5 million based
on an initial share price of $36.90, resulting in a benefit to basic and diluted
EPS of $0.01. The Company also made a $22.5 million payment to the
counterparty related to a holdback provision included in the ASR agreement,
which will not be considered in the calculation of EPS until the final
settlement of the contract occurs in the fourth quarter of 2008. The
settlement provision established in the ASR agreement was essentially a forward
sale contract and was therefore a potentially dilutive common stock
equivalent. The Company evaluated the forward contract in accordance
with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Topic No. D-72 Effect of Contracts That May Be
Settled in Stock or Cash on the Computation of Diluted Earnings per Share
and concluded that as of September 30, 2008 the effect of the settlement
provision would be antidilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of
diluted EPS.

13. SEGMENT
DATA
Lexmark
manufactures and sells a variety of printing and multifunction products and
related supplies and services and is primarily managed along Business and
Consumer market segments. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments

Operating
income (loss) noted above for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2007, includes restructuring and related charges of $6.2 million in the Consumer
segment and $0.4 million in All other.
14. CONTINGENCIES
In
accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies,
Lexmark records a provision for a loss contingency when management believes that
it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss
can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has adequate provisions for
any such matters.
Legal
proceedings
On
December 30, 2002 (“02 action”) and March 16, 2004 (“04 action”), the
Company filed claims against Static Control Components, Inc. (“SCC”) in the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky (the “District
Court”) alleging violation of the Company’s intellectual property and state law
rights. At various times in 2004, Pendl Companies, Inc. (“Pendl”), Wazana
Brothers International, Inc. (“Wazana”) and NER Data Products, Inc. (“NER”),
were added as additional defendants to the claims brought by the Company in the
02 action and/or the 04 action. The Company entered into separate settlement
agreements with each of NER, Pendl and Wazana pursuant to which the Company
released each party, and each party released the Company, from any and all
claims, and at various times in May 2007 the District Court entered orders
dismissing with prejudice all such litigation. Similar claims in a separate
action were filed by the Company in the District Court against David Abraham and
Clarity Imaging Technologies, Inc. (“Clarity”) on October 8, 2004. SCC and
Clarity have filed counterclaims against the Company in the District Court
alleging that the Company engaged in anti-competitive and monopolistic conduct
and unfair and deceptive trade practices in violation of the Sherman Act, the
Lanham Act and state laws. SCC has stated in its legal documents that it is
seeking approximately $17.8 million to $19.5 million in damages for
the Company’s alleged anticompetitive conduct and approximately $1 billion
for Lexmark’s alleged violation of the Lanham Act. Clarity has not stated a
damage dollar amount. SCC and Clarity are seeking treble damages, attorney fees,
costs and injunctive relief. On September 28, 2006, the District Court
dismissed the counterclaims filed by SCC alleging that the Company engaged in
anti-competitive and monopolistic conduct and unfair and deceptive trade
practices in violation of the Sherman Act, the Lanham Act and state laws. On
October 13, 2006, SCC filed a Motion for
Reconsideration
of the District Court’s Order dismissing SCC’s claims, or in the alternative, to
amend its pleadings, which the District Court denied on June 1, 2007. On
October 13, 2006, the District Court issued an order to stay the action
brought against David Abraham and Clarity until a final judgment or settlement
are entered into in the consolidated 02 and 04 actions. On June 20, 2007,
the District Court Judge ruled that SCC directly infringed one of Lexmark’s
patents-in-suit. On June 22, 2007, the jury returned a verdict that SCC did
not induce infringement of Lexmark’s patents-in-suit. As to SCC’s defense that
the Company has committed patent misuse, in an advisory, non-binding capacity,
the jury did find some Company conduct constituted misuse. In the jury’s
advisory, non-binding findings, the jury also found that the relevant market was
the cartridge market rather than the printer market and that the Company had
unreasonably restrained competition in that market. On October 3,
2008, the District Court Judge issued a memorandum opinion denying various
motions made by the Company that sought to reverse the jury’s finding that SCC
did not induce infringement of Lexmark’s patents-in-suit. The District Court
Judge did, however, grant the Company’s motion that SCC’s equitable defenses,
including patent misuse, were moot. As a result, the jury’s advisory findings on
misuse, including the jury’s finding that the relevant market was the cartridge
market rather than the printer market and that the Company had unreasonably
restrained competition in that market, were not adopted by the District Court. A
final judgment for the 02 action and the 04 action has not yet been entered by
the District Court.
The
Company is also party to various litigation and other legal matters, including
claims of intellectual property infringement and various purported consumer
class action lawsuits alleging, among other things, various product defects and
false and deceptive advertising claims, that are being handled in the ordinary
course of business. In addition, various governmental authorities have from time
to time initiated inquiries and investigations, some of which are ongoing,
concerning the activities of participants in the markets for printers and
supplies. The Company intends to continue to cooperate fully with those
governmental authorities in these matters.
Although
it is not reasonably possible to estimate whether a loss will occur as a result
of these legal matters, or if a loss should occur, the amount of such loss, the
Company does not believe that any legal matters to which it is a party is likely
to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results
of operations and cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that any
pending legal matters or any legal matters that may arise in the future would
not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
Copyright
fees
Certain
countries (primarily in Europe) and/or collecting societies representing
copyright owners’ interests have taken action to impose fees on devices (such as
scanners, printers and multifunction devices) alleging the copyright owners are
entitled to compensation because these devices enable reproducing copyrighted
content. Other countries are also considering imposing fees on certain devices.
The amount of fees, if imposed, would depend on the number of products sold and
the amounts of the fee on each product, which will vary by product and by
country. The Company has accrued amounts that it believes are adequate to
address the risks related to the copyright fee issues currently pending. The
financial impact on the Company, which will depend in large part upon the
outcome of local legislative processes, the Company’s and other industry
participants’ outcome in contesting the fees and the Company’s ability to
mitigate that impact by increasing prices, which ability will depend upon
competitive market conditions, remains uncertain. As of September 30, 2008, the
Company has accrued approximately $120 million for the pending copyright
fee issues, including litigation proceedings, local legislative initiatives
and/or negotiations with the parties involved.
As of
September 30, 2008, approximately $56 million of the $120 million
accrued for the copyright fee issues was related to single function printer
devices sold in Germany prior to December 31, 2007. On December 6,
2007, the Bundesgerichtshof (the “German Federal Supreme Court”) issued a
judgment in litigation brought by VerwertungsGesellschaft Wort (“VG Wort”), a
collection society representing certain copyright holders, against
Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”), finding that single function printer devices
sold in Germany prior to December 31, 2007 were not subject to the law
authorizing the German copyright fee levy (German Federal Supreme Court, file
reference I ZR 94/05). The Company and VG Wort entered into an agreement
pursuant to which both VG Wort and the Company agreed to be bound by the outcome
of the VG Wort/HP litigation. VG Wort filed a claim with the German Federal
Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht, the “Constitutional Court”)
challenging the decision of the German Federal Supreme Court. The Company
believes the amount accrued represents its best estimate of the copyright fee
issues currently pending.
As of
September 30, 2008, approximately $0.4 million of the $120 million
accrued for copyright fee issues was related to all-in-one and/or multifunction
devices (“AIO/MFDs”) sold in Germany prior to December 31, 2001. On
January 30, 2008, the German Federal Supreme Court issued a judgment in
litigation brought by VG Wort against HP seeking to impose copyright levies, at
the statutory rates published for photocopier devices, on AIO/MFDs, which
judgment confirmed the claim of VG Wort that the statutory copyright rates for
photocopier devices shall be applied to certain AIO/MFDs sold prior to
December 31, 2001 without any reduction (German Federal Supreme Court, file
reference I ZR 131/05). The Company is not a party to this litigation and has
not agreed to be bound by the outcome of this litigation. The German Federal
Supreme Court issued its formal written decision supporting the judgment during
July 2008. HP filed a claim with the Constitutional Court challenging the
decision of the German Federal Supreme Court.
For those
AIO/MFDs sold in Germany after December 31, 2001 through December 31, 2007, VG
Wort instituted non-binding arbitration proceedings against the Company in
December 2006 before the arbitration board of the Patent and Trademark Office
relating to whether and to what extent copyright levies should be imposed on
such AIO/MFDs.
The
Company believes the amounts accrued represent its best estimate of the
copyright fee issues currently pending and these accruals are included in Accrued liabilities on the
Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position.
15. RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. FAS
157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of FAS 157
in the first quarter of 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 2 of the
Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for the Company’s FAS
157 fair value disclosures. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position No. FAS 157-2 (“FSP FAS 157-2”) which defers the effective date of FAS
157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets
and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. As permitted by FSP FAS 157-2,
the Company has only partially applied the provisions of FAS 157. The Company is
in the process of evaluating the inputs and techniques used in its nonrecurring,
nonfinancial fair value measurements.
In
October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-3 (“FSP
FAS 157-3”) Determining the
Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not
Active in response to the financial community’s concerns about how to
conduct fair value accounting in a time of significant market distress. The new
FSP confirms that the objective of FAS 157 is still the price that would be
received by the holder of the asset in an orderly transaction that is not a
forced liquidation or distressed sale, even in situations in which there is
little, if any, market activity. The FSP also states acceptance of the use of
management’s internal assumptions about future cash flows and appropriately
risk-adjusted discount rates when observable inputs are not available, and that
in some cases, observable inputs may need significant adjustment based on
unobservable data to better reflect the risk adjustments that market
participants would make for nonperformance and liquidity risks. Lastly, FSP
157-3 offers additional guidance on the appropriate use of broker quotes,
indicating that they are not necessarily determinative of fair value if an
active market does not exist for the financial asset, and that the nature of the
quote, either a binding offer or an indicative price, should be considered when
weighing the appropriate inputs to use in measuring fair value. The FSP became
immediately effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial
statements have not been issued. Revisions resulting from a change in the
valuation technique or its application shall be accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate. The Company has considered the additional guidance with
respect to the valuation of its marketable securities portfolio and the
designation of its investments within the fair value hierarchy in the Company’s
third quarter 2008 financial statements and footnotes.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Liabilities (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 provides entities with the
option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value.
Business entities adopting FAS 159 will report unrealized gains and losses in
earnings at each subsequent reporting date on items for which the fair value
option has been elected. The Company has not elected the fair value option for
any of its assets or liabilities.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations
(“FAS 141R”), replacing FAS No. 141, Business Combinations (“FAS
141”). FAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements of purchase method
accounting for acquisitions as set forth previously in FAS 141. However,
this statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of a
business in the business combination, thus broadening the scope of FAS 141
which applied only to business combinations in which control was obtained
through transfer of consideration. FAS 141R also requires several changes
in the way assets and liabilities are recognized and measured in purchase
accounting including expensing acquisition-related costs as incurred,
recognizing assets and liabilities arising from contractual contingencies at the
acquisition date, and capitalizing in-process research and development.
FAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize a gain in earnings for
bargain purchases, or the excess of the fair value of net assets over the
consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, a
departure from the concept of “negative goodwill” previously recognized under
FAS 141. FAS 141R is effective for the Company beginning
January 1, 2009, and will apply prospectively to business combinations
completed on or after that date.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial
Statements, an amendment of ARB 51 (“FAS 160”). FAS 160 applies
to all companies that prepare consolidated financial statements but will only
affect companies that have a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary or that
deconsolidate a subsidiary. FAS 160 clarifies that noncontrolling interests
be reported as a component separate from the parent’s equity and that changes in
the parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary be recorded as equity
transactions if the parent retains its controlling interest in the subsidiary.
The statement also requires consolidated net income to include amounts
attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest on the face of
the income statement. In addition, FAS 160 requires a parent to recognize a
gain or loss in net income on the date the parent deconsolidates a subsidiary,
or ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary. FAS 160
is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009, and will apply
prospectively, except for the presentation of disclosure requirements, which
must be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of
FAS 160 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133
(“FAS 161”). FAS
161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging
activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how
and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments
and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related
interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. FAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures
for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the
provisions of FAS 161.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). The FSP amends the factors that
should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to
determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement
No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”). Specifically, an entity shall consider its
own historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements in
developing such assumptions or, in the absence of that experience, consider the
assumptions that market participants would use (highest and best use of the
asset) about renewal or extension. All assumptions must be adjusted for
entity-specific factors as provided in FAS 142. An entity will now use its own
assumptions about renewal or extension even when there is likely to be
substantial cost or material modifications of existing terms and conditions. FSP
FAS 142-3 also requires additional disclosures in order to enable users to
better assess the extent to which the expected future cash flows associated with
the asset are affected by the entity’s intent and/or ability to renew or extend
the arrangement. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008. For intangible assets acquired after
the effective date, the guidance for determining the useful life of the
recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively. The additional
disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets
recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. The Company is
currently evaluating the provisions of FSP FAS 142-3.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“FAS 162”). FAS 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to be used in
the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with
United States GAAP. The GAAP hierarchy was previously set forth in the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 69, The Meaning
of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. Though the FASB
does not expect a change in current practice, the Board issued this statement in
order for the U.S. GAAP hierarchy to reside in the accounting literature
established by the FASB. FAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s
approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU
Section 411, The Meaning of
Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. Any effect of applying the provisions of FAS 162 shall be
reported as a change in accounting principle in accordance with SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections. The Company does not expect FAS 162 to have a material
impact on its financial statements.
In June
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities
(“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). The FASB concluded in this FSP that unvested share-based
payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend
equivalents are participating securities and shall be included in the
calculation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. This FSP is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, requiring all prior-period earnings per share data presented
to be adjusted retrospectively. The Company does not expect FSP EITF 03-6-1 to
have a material impact on its calculation of earnings per share.
In June
2008, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 07-5 (“EITF
07-5”) Determining Whether an
Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.
This Issue applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature
that has all the characteristics of a derivative for purposes of determining
whether that instrument or embedded feature qualifies for the first part of the
scope exception in FAS 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Issue also applies to any
freestanding financial instrument that is potentially settled in an entity’s own
stock, regardless of whether the instrument has all the characteristics of a
derivative, for purposes of determining whether the instrument is within the
scope of EITF Issue 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own
Stock. The Issue addresses what variables other than the
entity’s stock price, if any, may impact the settlement amount and still permit
the instrument to be indexed to the company’s own stock. EITF 07-5 establishes a
two-step approach for evaluating whether a financial instrument is indexed to
its own stock. In the first step, an entity evaluates any contingent exercise
provisions in accordance with EITF 01-6 The Meaning of Indexed to a
Company’s Own Stock. In the second step, an entity evaluates the
settlement provision(s). EITF 07-5 also concludes specifically that neither
financial instruments with a strike price denominated in a currency other than
the issuer’s currency nor market-based employee stock option valuation
instruments be considered indexed to an entity’s own stock. The Issue shall be
applied to outstanding instruments as of the beginning of the fiscal year in
which it is initially applied. Any cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of
retained earnings. EITF 07-5 should be effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will need to
consider the guidance of EITF 07-5 when evaluating new potential financial
instruments, such as accelerated share repurchase agreements.
In June
2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 08-3 (“EITF 08-3”) Accounting by Lessees for
Maintenance Deposits. This Issue applies to the lessee’s accounting for
nonrefundable maintenance deposits paid by a lessee under an arrangement
accounted for as a lease that are refunded only if the lessee performs specified
maintenance activities. Under EITF 08-3, the maintenance deposits are accounted
for as a deposit asset until such time that it is less than probable that the
amount on deposit will be returned to the lessee, thus requiring recognition of
expense. When the underlying maintenance is performed, the maintenance costs are
expensed or capitalized in accordance with the lessee’s maintenance accounting
policy. This issue must be applied to all arrangements existing at the effective
date, and any cumulative effect of change in accounting principle shall be
recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. EITF
08-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
Early application is not permitted for companies that have previously adopted an
alternative accounting policy. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF
08-3 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In
September 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 08-5 (“EITF 08-5”) Issuer’s Accounting for Liabilities
Measured at Fair Value with a Third Party Credit Enhancement. EITF 08-5
applies to an issuer’s accounting for debt with an inseparable third-party
credit enhancement that is measured or disclosed at fair value. EITF 08-5
concludes that the effect of the third-party credit enhancement should not be
included in the fair value measurement of the liability. The fair value
measurement is determined considering the issuer’s credit standing without
regard to the third-party guarantor’s credit standing. The Issue also requires
that an entity disclose the existence of a credit enhancement for any
outstanding debt within the scope of this Issue. EITF 08-5 will be effective on
a prospective basis in the first period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 08-5 to have a
material
impact on its financial statements or fair value disclosures, given the
Company’s outstanding debt does not contain an inseparable third-party credit
enhancement.
In
September 2008, The FASB issued FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4, Disclosures about Credit Derivatives
and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB
Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 161 (“FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4”). The FSP amends the disclosure
requirements of FAS 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, requiring that the seller
of a credit derivative, or writer of the contract, to disclose various items for
each balance sheet presented including the nature of the credit derivative, the
maximum amount of potential future payments the seller could be required to
make, the fair value of the derivative at the balance sheet date, and the nature
of any recourse provisions available to the seller to recover from third parties
any of the amounts paid under the credit derivative. The FSP also amends FASB
Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”) Guarantor’s Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others to require disclosure of the current status of the
payment/performance risk of the guarantee. The additional disclosure
requirements above will be effective for reporting periods ending after November
15, 2008. It is not expected that the FSP will have a major impact on the
Company’s current disclosure process. The FSP also clarifies that the effective
date of FAS 161 will be for any period, annual or interim, beginning after
November 15, 2008.
16. SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
On
October 21, 2008, final settlement of the Company’s third quarter 2008
accelerated share repurchase agreement occurred, resulting in the delivery of an
additional 1.2 million shares to the Company by the counterparty. Refer to Note
9 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further
details regarding the agreement.
On
October 21, 2008, the Company entered into another accelerated share repurchase
agreement with a financial institution counterparty. Under the terms of the ASR,
the Company paid $100.0 million targeting 3.9 million shares based on an initial
price of $25.71. The Company took delivery of 85% of the shares, or 3.3 million
shares, on October 24, 2008. Final settlement of the agreement will occur in the
fourth quarter of 2008.
In
October 2008, commitments to the Company’s trade receivables facility were
renewed by one of the two banks, resulting in a decrease in the maximum capital
availability under the facility from $200 million to $100 million. As
of September 30, 2008, there were no secured borrowings outstanding under the
facility.

2. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)
OVERVIEW
Lexmark
makes it easier for businesses and consumers to move information between the
digital and paper worlds. Since its inception in 1991, Lexmark has become a
leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of printing and imaging solutions
for offices and homes. Lexmark’s products include laser printers, inkjet
printers, multifunction devices, and associated supplies, services and
solutions. Lexmark also sells dot matrix printers for printing single and
multi-part forms by business users.
The
Company is primarily managed along Business and Consumer market
segments:
|
•
|
The
Business market segment primarily sells laser products and serves business
customers but also includes consumers who choose laser products. Laser
products can be divided into two major categories — shared workgroup
products and lower-priced desktop products. Lexmark employs large-account
sales and marketing teams, closely supported by its development and
product marketing teams, to generate demand for its business printing
solutions and services. The sales and marketing teams primarily focus on
industries such as finance, education, retail, manufacturing, government
and healthcare. Lexmark also markets its laser and inkjet products
increasingly through small and medium business (“SMB”) teams who work
closely with channel partners. The Company distributes and fulfills its
laser products primarily through its well-established distributor and
reseller network. Lexmark’s products are also sold through solution
providers, which offer custom solutions to specific markets, and through
direct response resellers.
|
|
•
|
The
Consumer market segment predominantly sells inkjet products to consumers,
but also includes business users who may choose inkjet products as a
lower-priced alternative or supplement to laser products for personal
desktop use. Also, there is an increasing trend in inkjet products being
designed for business purposes such as small office home office (“SOHO”)
and small business. Additionally, over the past couple years, the number
of consumers seeking productivity-related features has driven significant
growth in all-in-one (“AIO”) products. For the consumer market, Lexmark
distributes its branded inkjet products and supplies primarily through
retail outlets worldwide. Lexmark’s sales and marketing activities are
organized to meet the needs of the various geographies and the size of
their markets.
|
The
Company also sells its products through numerous alliances and original
equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) arrangements.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Lexmark’s
discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are
based upon the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
U.S. The preparation of consolidated condensed financial statements requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its
estimates, including those related to customer programs and incentives, product
returns, doubtful accounts, inventories, stock-based compensation, intangible
assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, copyright fees, restructurings,
pension and other postretirement benefits, and contingencies and litigation.
Lexmark bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
An
accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate
to be made based on assumptions about matters that are uncertain at the time the
estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if
changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially
impact the financial statements.
Management
believes that other than the partial adoption of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS
157”) during the first quarter of 2008, there have been no significant changes
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, to the items that were
disclosed as critical accounting policies and estimates in Item 7. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2007.
Fair
Value
The
Company currently uses recurring fair value measurements in several areas
including marketable securities, pension plan assets and derivatives. The
Company uses fair value in measuring certain nonrecurring items as well, as
instructed under existing authoritative accounting guidance.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued FAS 157. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. The standard 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. As part of the
framework for measuring fair value, FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy of inputs to
valuation techniques 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.
The three
levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are:
·
|
Level
1 -- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical,
unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to
access at the measurement date;
|
·
|
Level
2 -- Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
and
|
·
|
Level
3 -- Unobservable inputs used in valuations in which there is little
market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement
date.
|
Fair
value measurements of assets and liabilities are assigned a level within the
fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of any input that is significant
to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 (“FSP FAS
157-2”) which defers the effective date of FAS 157 to fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
nonrecurring basis. As permitted by FSP FAS 157-2, the Company has only
partially applied the provisions of FAS 157 as of September 30, 2008. The
Company is in the process of evaluating the inputs and techniques used in its
nonrecurring, nonfinancial fair value measurements.
In
October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-3 (“FSP FAS
157-3”) Determining the Fair
Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active
in response to the financial community’s concerns about how to conduct fair
value accounting in a time of significant market distress. The Company has
considered the additional guidance with respect to the valuation of its
marketable securities portfolio and the designation of its investments within
the fair value hierarchy in the Company’s third quarter 2008 financial
statements and footnotes. Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 15 of the Notes to
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information regarding
FSP FAS 157-3.
The
Company utilizes observable market data, when available, to determine fair
value. However, in certain situations, there may be little or no market data
available at the measurement date thus requiring the use of significant
unobservable inputs. To the extent that a valuation is based on models, inputs
or assumptions that are less observable in the market, the determination of fair
value requires more judgment. Such measurements are generally
classified
as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 2 of
the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for the Company’s
disclosures regarding fair value. Also, refer to the Financial Condition section
of Item 2 for additional information regarding the Company’s significant Level 3
valuations.

generating workgroup lasers, including monochrome, color and laser
MFPs.
|
|
•
|
The
Company is aggressively shifting its focus in the Consumer market segment
to geographic regions, product segments, and customers that generate high
page usage. This strategy shift will increase the Company’s focus on
investments to better meet the needs of those customers and product
segments.
|
Lexmark
continues to take actions to improve certain portions of its manufacturing and
business support cost and expense structure. These actions will better allow the
Company to fund these strategic initiatives.
Lexmark
continues to maintain a strong financial position with a long track record of
good cash generation and a solid balance sheet, which positions it well to
invest in the future and compete effectively, even during challenging
times.
Business
Factors
Business
segment
During
the third quarter of 2008, Lexmark continued its investments in new products and
technology in the Business market segment. The Company expects these investments
to produce a steady stream of new products.
The
Company continued its investment in its managed print services and industry
sales initiatives. Lexmark also made a significant investment in its enterprise
sales force in 2007 to improve its coverage and expand the reach of its
solutions and services proposition.
The
primary focus of the Business market investments is to drive workgroup laser
growth and page generation.
Consumer
segment
Lexmark
believes it is experiencing shrinkage in its installed base of inkjet products
and an associated decline in end-user demand for inkjet supplies. The Company
sees the potential for continued erosion in end-user inkjet supplies demand due
to the reduction in inkjet hardware unit sales. The reduction in
inkjet hardware unit sales reflects the Company’s decision to focus on more
profitable, higher usage printer placements and the weakness the Company is
experiencing in its OEM business.
Beginning
in the second quarter of 2007, the Company experienced the following issues in
its Consumer segment:
·
|
On-going
declines in inkjet supplies and OEM unit
sales;
|
·
|
Lower
average unit revenues due to aggressive pricing and promotion;
and
|
·
|
Additional
costs in its new products.
|
As the
Company analyzed the situation, it saw the following:
·
|
Some
of its unit sales were not generating adequate lifetime profitability due
to lower prices, higher costs and supplies usage below its
model;
|
·
|
Some
markets and channels were on the low-end of the supplies generation
distribution curve; and
|
·
|
Its
business was too skewed to the low-end versus the market, resulting in
lower supplies generation per unit.
|
As a
result, Lexmark decided to take the following actions beginning in
2007:
·
|
The
Company decided to more aggressively shift its focus to geographic
regions, market segments and customers that generate higher page
usage.
|
·
|
The
Company continues working to minimize the unit sales that do not generate
an acceptable profit over their
life.
|
The above
actions entail several initiatives, which were begun in 2007 and have continued
through the current period:
·
|
Shifting
the Company’s marketing focus and targeted customer segments to the
heavier usage segments of student and professional
users;
|
·
|
Shifting
the Company’s investment in research and development to better design
products and technology that will be attractive to these
segments;
|
·
|
Re-engineering
the Company’s supply chain to reduce costs and eliminate touches between
the factory and the customers; and
|
·
|
Working
on supplies to lower cost and consolidate manufacturing capacity. In 2007,
the Company announced a restructuring plan to reduce its cost and
infrastructure, including the closure of one of its inkjet supplies
manufacturing facilities in Mexico and additional optimization measures at
the remaining inkjet facilities in Mexico and the Philippines. In July
2008, the Company announced a plan that will result in the closure of an
additional inkjet supplies manufacturing facility in Mexico. See “RESTRUCTURING AND
RELATED CHARGES (REVERSALS) AND PROJECT COSTS” that follows for
further discussion.
|
These
initiatives have yielded the following for the Company’s Consumer
segment:
·
|
An
improvement in the Company’s inkjet AUR, despite an aggressive pricing
environment;
|
·
|
The
introduction of new products such as Lexmark’s Professional Series and its
Home & Student Series; and
|
·
|
An
increasing amount of industry recognition and awards for its inkjet
products.

Current
quarter
For the
third quarter of 2008, total revenue was $1.1 billion or down 5% from 2007.
Laser and inkjet supplies revenue decreased 1% year-to-year (“YTY”) and laser
and inkjet hardware revenue decreased 14% YTY. In the Business segment, revenue
increased 4% YTY while revenue in the Consumer segment decreased 21%
YTY.
Net
earnings for the third quarter of 2008 decreased 19% from the prior year
primarily due to a benefit in the provision for income taxes in the third
quarter of 2007 as compared to an expense in the provision for income taxes in
the third quarter of 2008, partially offset by higher operating income. Net
earnings for the third quarter of 2008 included $24.5 million of pre-tax
restructuring-related charges and project costs. Net earnings for the third
quarter of 2007 included $14.6 million of pre-tax restructuring-related charges
and project costs and a one-time tax benefit of $13 million that contributed to
the benefit in the provision for income taxes mentioned above.
Year
to date
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, consolidated revenue was $3.4 billion or
down 6% YTY. Laser and inkjet supplies revenue declined 1% YTY and laser and
inkjet hardware revenue declined 17% YTY. In the Business segment, revenue
increased 3% YTY while revenue in the Consumer segment decreased 19%
YTY.
Net
earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased 10% from the
prior year primarily due to higher operating income partially offset by lower
other non-operating income and higher provision for income taxes. Net earnings
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 included $46.0 million of pre-tax
restructuring-related charges and project costs and non-recurring tax benefits
of $11.9 million. Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
included $25.4 million of restructuring-related charges and project costs, a
$3.5 million gain on the sale of the Company's Scotland facility, an $8.1
million pre-tax foreign exchange gain realized upon the substantial liquidation
of the Company’s Scotland entity and one-time tax benefits of $19
million.
Revenue
For the
third quarter of 2008, consolidated revenue decreased 5% YTY. Laser and inkjet
supplies revenue declined 1% YTY as growth in laser supplies was offset by a
decline in inkjet supplies. Laser and inkjet hardware revenue declined 14% YTY
primarily driven by unit declines, particularly in inkjet units.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, consolidated revenue decreased 6% YTY.
Laser and inkjet supplies revenue declined 1% YTY as growth in laser supplies
was more than offset by a decline in inkjet supplies. Laser and inkjet hardware
revenue declined 17% YTY primarily driven by the shift in inkjet
strategy.

Business
segment
During
the third quarter of 2008, revenue in the Business segment increased
$32 million or 4% compared to 2007 primarily due to growth in laser
supplies revenue. Laser hardware unit shipments declined 1% YTY. Laser hardware
average unit revenue (“AUR”), which reflects the changes in both pricing and
mix, increased 2% YTY as the negative impact of pricing was offset by currency
and favorable product mix.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, Business segment revenue increased $65
million or 3% YTY primarily due to growth in laser supplies revenue partially
offset by a decline in laser hardware revenue. Laser hardware unit shipments
decreased 7% YTY while laser hardware AUR increased 2% YTY.
Consumer
segment
During
the third quarter of 2008, revenue in the Consumer segment decreased
$97 million or 21% compared to 2007 due to decreased inkjet hardware and
supplies revenue. Hardware revenue declined YTY due to lower unit shipments
partially offset by increased AURs. Inkjet hardware unit shipments declined 46%
YTY principally due to the Company’s decision to prioritize certain markets,
segments and customers and to reduce or eliminate others. Units were also
impacted by the Company’s decision to focus on more profitable printer
placements in every geography. Inkjet unit sales are being further impacted by
market weakness in the U.S. and Europe and aggressive competitive
pricing/promotion activities. In the U.S., inkjet unit sales are also being
impacted by reduced shelf space as compared to the prior year. Inkjet hardware
AUR increased 15% YTY as price declines were more than offset by a significantly
improved mix reflecting a shift towards higher-end devices, as well as currency
benefits.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, Consumer segment revenue decreased $284
million or 19% compared to 2007 due to decreased inkjet hardware and supplies
revenue. Inkjet hardware unit shipments declined 46% YTY while inkjet hardware
AUR increased 18% YTY.

For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, consolidated gross profit and
gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased YTY. The changes in the gross
profit margin YTY for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were
primarily due to favorable mix shifts among products of 5.6 percentage
points and 5.3 percentage points, respectively, primarily driven by the decline
in inkjet hardware units and the increased laser supplies.
Gross
profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, included
$17.5 million and $27.3 million, respectively, of restructuring-related
charges and project costs. Gross profit for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007, included $4.1 million and $10.2 million, respectively,
of restructuring-related charges and project costs. See “RESTRUCTURING AND

For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, research and development
increased YTY due to the Company’s continued investment in technology to support
product development. These continuing investments are primarily focused on new
products aimed at targeted high page generation segments.
Selling,
general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 decreased YTY due to lower general and administrative
expenses, partially offset by increased spending on marketing and sales
activities. SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 increased YTY as the Company continued to increase spending on marketing
and sales activities, partially offset by lower general and administrative
expenses. Additionally, SG&A expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008 included $0.3 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of
restructuring-related charges and project costs. SG&A expenses for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2007 included $3.9 million and $5.1 million,
respectively, of net restructuring-related charges and project
costs. See

For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the increases in consolidated
operating income were due to higher gross profit partially offset by higher
operating expenses.
For the
third quarter of 2008, Business segment operating income decreased YTY
principally due to increased marketing and sales and product development. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Business segment operating income
decreased YTY as higher gross profit was more than offset by increased operating
expense.
For the
third quarter of 2008, Consumer segment operating income increased YTY due to
higher gross profit resulting from a favorable product mix shift reflecting less
hardware partially offset by less supplies revenue. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, Consumer segment operating income increased YTY due to
higher gross profit and lower operating expense.
For the
three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company incurred total pre-tax
restructuring-related charges and project costs related to the Company’s
restructuring plans of $3.6 million in its Business segment,
$9.8 million in its Consumer segment and $11.1 million in All other.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company incurred total
pre-tax restructuring-related charges and project costs related to the Company’s
restructuring plans of $4.9 million in its Business segment,

During
the third quarter of 2008, total interest and other (income) expense, net, was
an expense of $5.1 million compared to income of $6.4 million in 2007.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, total interest and other (income)
expense, net, was income of $3.8 million compared to income of
$20.8 million in 2007. The third quarter of 2008 saw the declared
bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings. As a result, Lexmark
recognized a $4.4 million charge in Other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated
Condensed Statements of Earnings for other than temporary impairment of its
Lehman corporate debt securities, based on indicative pricing.
For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, total interest and other
(income) expense, net, decreased YTY primarily due to increased interest expense
from the Company’s $650 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate senior
unsecured notes that were initiated in the second quarter of
2008. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2007, the Company
substantially liquidated the remaining operations of its Scotland entity and
recognized an $8.1 million pre-tax gain from the realization of the entity’s
accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment generated on the investment
in the entity during its operating life.
Provision
for Income Taxes and Related Matters
The Provision (benefit) for income
taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was an expense of $12
million, or an effective tax rate of 25.2%. For the three months
ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s tax provision was a benefit of $18
million. For that period the Company reduced tax expense by $13
million as the
result of
a settlement of a tax audit outside the U.S. and additionally during that
period, the Company reduced its full year provision by approximately $11 million
due to a reduction of the expected annual effective tax rate compared to the
first two quarters due to the geographic shift of worldwide
earnings. The $11 million benefit was based on the reduced expected
annual effective tax rate compared to the previously expected tax rate applied
to the Company’s earnings for the first two quarters of 2007.
The Provision (benefit) for income
taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was an expense of $59
million, or an effective tax rate of 21.0%. For that period the
Company reduced tax expense by $12 million, primarily due to settling various
tax audits and due to the recognition of a previously unrecognized tax benefit
related to a tax position taken in a prior period. The Company’s tax
expense was $26 million, or an effective tax rate of 11.5%, for the same period
in 2007. For that period, in addition to the tax audit settlement in the third
quarter of 2007 discussed above, the Company reduced tax expense by $6 million
as the result of adjustments made to the Company’s deferred tax
assets.
The
Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2008 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% generally because a
portion of the Company’s earnings outside the U.S. is taxed at an effective rate
that is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, coupled with the special
items described above. In October 2008, the U.S. Research and
Experimentation (“R&E”) tax credit was extended, effective retroactively to
January 1, 2008. With this R&E tax credit extension, the Company
expects its full year 2008 effective tax rate to be lower compared to the
effective tax rate through September 30, 2008.
The
Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2007 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% generally because (1)
a portion of the Company’s earnings outside the U.S. was taxed at an effective
rate lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate and (2) the U.S. R&E tax
credit was in effect during 2007.

Net
earnings for the third quarter of 2008 decreased 19% from the prior year
primarily due to a benefit in the provision for income taxes in the third
quarter of 2007 as compared to an expense in the provision for income taxes in
the third quarter of 2008, partially offset by higher operating income. Net
earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased 10% from the
prior year primarily due to higher operating income partially offset by a higher
provision for income taxes.
For the
three months ended September 30, 2008, the decrease YTY in basic and diluted
earnings per share was primarily due to the provision for income taxes item
mentioned above. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the
increase in basic and diluted earnings per share were primarily attributable to
increased net earnings.

2007
Restructuring Plan
General
As part
of the Company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its cost and expense structure, the
Company continually reviews its resources in light of a variety of factors. On
October 23, 2007, the Company announced a plan (the “2007 Restructuring
Plan”) which includes:
|
•
|
Closing
one of the Company’s inkjet supplies manufacturing facilities in Mexico
and additional optimization measures at the remaining inkjet facilities in
Mexico and the Philippines;
|
|
•
|
Reducing
the Company’s business support cost and expense structure by further
consolidating activity globally and expanding the use of shared service
centers in lower-cost regions. The areas impacted are supply chain,
service delivery, general and administrative expense, as well as marketing
and sales support functions; and
|
|
•
|
Focusing
consumer segment marketing and sales efforts into countries or geographic
regions that have the highest supplies
usage.
|
The 2007
Restructuring Plan is expected to impact approximately 1,650 positions by the
end of 2008. Most of the impacted positions are being moved to lower-cost
countries. The Company expects the 2007 Restructuring Plan will result in
pre-tax charges of approximately $90 million, of which $55 million are
restructuring and related charges and $35 million are project costs, as defined
at the beginning of this section. Expected cash payments for the restructuring
and related charges and project costs are approximately
$75 million. The Company expects to incur total restructuring
and related charges and project costs for the 2007 Restructuring Plan of
$24 million in its Business segment, $29 million in its Consumer
segment and $37 million in All other. Since the inception of the program in

million were restructuring and related charges and $18 million were project
costs. The Company expects the 2007 Restructuring Plan to be
substantially completed by the end of 2008.
Of the
total pre-tax restructuring and related charges and project costs of
approximately $90 million for the 2007 Restructuring Plan, approximately
$15 million will impact cost of revenue and $75 million will impact
operating expense. The 2007 Restructuring Plan (including related projects) is
expected to save approximately $40 million in 2008 with approximately 50%
benefiting cost of revenue and 50% benefiting operating expense. Annual savings
beginning in 2009 are expected to approximate $60 million.

2006
Actions
During
the first quarter of 2006, the Company approved a plan to restructure its
workforce, consolidate some manufacturing capacity and make certain changes to
its U.S. retirement plans (collectively referred to as the “2006
actions”). Except for approximately 100 positions that were
eliminated in 2007, activities related to the 2006 actions were substantially
completed at the end of 2006.
Impact to 2008 Financial
Results
In the
third quarter of 2008, the Company reversed $1.2 million of previously accrued
employee termination benefits related to the All other segment. The
reversal is included in Restructuring and related
charges on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of
Earnings.
Impact to 2007 Financial
Results
During
the first quarter of 2007, the Company sold its Rosyth, Scotland facility for
$8.1 million and recognized a $3.5 million pre-tax gain on the sale that is
included in Selling, general,
and administrative on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of
Earnings.
During
the second quarter of 2007, the Company substantially liquidated the remaining
operations of its Scotland entity and recognized an $8.1 million pre-tax gain
from the realization of the entity’s accumulated foreign currency translation
adjustment generated on the investment in the entity during its operating life.
This gain is included in Other
(income) expense, net on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements
of Earnings.
For the
three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company incurred approximately $8.0
million of project costs related to the Company’s 2006 actions. Of the
$8.0 million of project costs incurred, $4.1 million is included in
Cost of revenue and
$3.9 million in Selling,
general and administrative on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed
Statements
of Earnings. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company incurred
total pre-tax project costs of $1.4 million in its Business segment, $0.3
million in its Consumer segment and $6.3 million in All other.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company incurred approximately $15.3
million of project costs related to the Company’s 2006 actions. The $15.3
million of project costs is the net amount incurred after including the gain
recognized on the sale of the Rosyth, Scotland facility during the first quarter
of 2007 that was mentioned earlier. Of the $15.3 million of
project costs incurred, $10.2 million is included in Cost of revenue and
$5.1 million in Selling,
general and administrative on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed
Statements of Earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the
Company incurred total pre-tax project costs(benefits) of $2.6 million in
its Business segment, $(3.0) million in its Consumer segment and
$15.7 million in All other.

FINANCIAL
CONDITION
Lexmark’s
financial position remained strong at September 30, 2008, with working capital
of $953 million compared to $570 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in
working capital accounts was primarily due to $644.5 million net proceeds
received from the issuance of long-term debt in the second quarter, a portion of
which have been used to repurchase the Company’s shares as discussed later in
this section.

The
Company’s primary source of liquidity has been cash generated by operations,
which totaled $429.6 million and $352.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Operating
activities:
The $77.1
million increase in cash flow from operating activities from 2007 to 2008 was
driven by the favorable YTY change in Trade receivables of $106.7
million, due to collections in excess of revenues in the first three quarters of
2008. Collections of sales were more rapid in the first nine months of 2008
versus the first nine months of 2007, due to both declines in delinquency in
2008 as well as differences in the timing of revenues within the quarters. The
Company’s days of sales outstanding were 37 days at September 30, 2008, and 40
days at December 31, 2007, compared to 43 days at September 30, 2007, and 38
days at December 31, 2006. The days of sales outstanding are calculated using
the quarter-end trade receivables balance, net of allowances, and the average
daily revenue for the quarter.
Other
significant changes include the $98.4 million unfavorable YTY change in Accounts payable, which
occurred primarily in the first quarter and third quarter YTY movements. The
unfavorable YTY change in the first quarter was largely due to payment of prior
year purchases and the fact that a higher accounts payable balance existed at
December 31, 2007, compared to that of December 31, 2006. The unfavorable YTY
change in the third quarter was largely due to a cash flow timing benefit in the
third quarter of 2007 related to vendors with end of month payment terms who
were paid in the fourth quarter of 2007 due to the fact that the third quarter
of 2007 ended on a non-business day.
The
unfavorable YTY change in Accounts payable was offset
by several items including a $38.7 million favorable YTY change in Accrued liabilities, mainly
driven by favorable movements in accrued compensation totaling $29.7 million.
The favorable impact of accrued compensation was due to various factors
including lower payout of annual bonuses in the first quarter of 2008 versus
annual bonus payments made in the first quarter of 2007. Other notable items
include favorable YTY movements in inventories as well as higher net earnings
excluding depreciation and certain non-cash items in 2007 related to the
liquidation of the Scotland facility.
The
outcome of certain European countries’ legislative processes and on-going
litigation regarding copyright fees could have a significant impact on cash
flows from operating activities. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had
accrued approximately $120.3 million for pending copyright fee issues, including
litigation proceedings, local legislative initiatives and/or negotiations with
the parties involved. These accruals are included in Accrued liabilities on the
Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position. Refer to Part I, Item
1, Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for
additional information.
Investing
activities:
The
Company increased its marketable securities investments by $166.8 million and
$30.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
respectively. The $160.3 million YTY increase in the net cash flows used for
investing activities for the periods provided was primarily due to the Company’s
marketable securities investing activities.
The
Company’s investments in marketable securities are classified and accounted for
as available-for-sale. At September 30, 2008 and December 31,
2007, the Company’s marketable securities portfolio consisted of
asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities,
municipal debt securities, U.S. government and agency debt securities,
commercial paper, certificates of deposit, and preferred securities, including
approximately $27 million and $79 million, respectively, of auction rate
securities.
Market
conditions continue to indicate significant uncertainty on the part of investors
on the economic outlook for the U.S. and for financial institutions. This
uncertainty has created reduced liquidity across the fixed income investment
market, including the securities in which Lexmark is invested. As a result, some
of the Company’s investments have experienced reduced liquidity including
unsuccessful auctions for its auction rate security holdings as well as
temporary and other than temporary impairment of other marketable
securities.
Auction
rate securities that do not successfully auction reset to the maximum rate as
prescribed in the underlying offering statement. During the first quarter of
2008, the Company reclassified $59.4 million in auction rate fixed income
securities from Current
assets to Noncurrent
assets on its Consolidated Condensed Statement of Financial Position due
to the fact that the securities had experienced unsuccessful auctions and poor
debt market conditions had reduced the likelihood that the securities would
successfully auction within the next 12 months. During the second
quarter of 2008, approximately $24 million of auction rate fixed income
securities were either sold or redeemed at par. In addition, $4.1
million were reclassified back to Current assets, as the
Company had been notified by the issuer that the securities would be called at
par, leaving a balance of $31.3 million in Noncurrent assets. In the third quarter of
2008, approximately $8.1 million of auction rate fixed income securities were
either sold or redeemed at par. Although no realized losses have occurred in
2008, the remaining auction rate securities were written down $0.4 million
through Accumulated other
comprehensive loss to their estimated fair value based on the
discounted cash flow analysis performed by the Company. As of September 30,
2008, the remaining balance of auction rate fixed income securities classified
in Noncurrent assets
was $26.9 million. All of the Company’s auction rate securities continue
to be current with their interest and dividend payments. Based on Lexmark’s
assessment of the credit quality of the underlying collateral and credit support
available to each of the auction rate securities in which the Company is
invested, it believes no other than temporary impairment has occurred. The
Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until liquidity in
the market or optional issuer redemption occurs and could also hold the
securities to maturity. Additionally, if Lexmark required capital, the Company
has available liquidity through its accounts receivable program and
revolving credit facility.
The third
quarter of 2008 saw several significant market events, including the declared
bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings. Lexmark recognized a $4.4
million charge in Other
(income) expense, net on the Consolidated
Condensed Statements of Earnings for other than temporary impairment of its
Lehman corporate debt securities, based on indicative pricing. In addition, the
Company has recognized a cumulative, pre-tax valuation allowance of $3.9 million
included in Accumulated other
comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial
Position, representing a temporary impairment of the overall
portfolio. The Company considers several factors in evaluating
whether impairment is temporary or other than temporary, including but not
limited to the length of time and extent to which fair value is less than cost
as well as the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security until the
anticipated time of recovery in fair value. As of November 4, 2008,
the Company does not believe that it has a material risk in its current
portfolio of investments that would impact its financial condition or
liquidity.
Recent
events have led to an increased focus on fair value accounting, including the
valuation practices in place regarding financial instruments. The Company uses a
third party to provide the fair values of the marketable securities in which
Lexmark is invested. The Company has performed a reasonable level of due
diligence in the way of documenting the pricing methodologies used by the third
party as well as a limited amount of sampling of the valuations. Most of the
Companies securities are valued using a consensus price method, whereby prices
from a variety of industry data providers (multiple quotes) are input into a
distribution-curve based algorithm to determine daily market values. Pricing
inputs for a select number of securities were provided and compared to the
overall valuation for reasonableness. In limited instances, the Company has
adjusted the fair values provided by the third
party in
order to better reflect the risk adjustments that market participants would make
for nonperformance and liquidity risks. Level 3 fair value measurements are
based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall valuation.
The Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements include security types that do not
have readily determinable market values and/or are not priced by independent
data sources, including auction rate securities for which recent auctions were
unsuccessful valued at $26.9 million (discussed previously), certain corporate
debt securities and mortgage-backed securities with stale pricing data valued at
$5.5 million, and certain distressed debt instruments valued at $0.9
million.
The
Company performed a discounted cash flow analysis on its auction rate
securities, using current coupon rates, a first quarter 2010 redemption date and
a 50 basis point liquidity premium factored into the discount
rate. The result was the Company’s best estimate of fair value using
assumptions that the Company believes market participants would make for
nonperformance and liquidity risk at the measurement date. For certain corporate
debt and mortgage-backed securities, current pricing data was no longer
available at the measurement date, representing a decline in the volume and
level of trading activity. The Company used the last known price of
these securities as its best estimate of fair value under current market
conditions, recognizing that the inputs were no longer observable at the
measurement date and reclassifying the securities to a level 3 fair value
measurement. The Company also holds certain debt instruments that it considers
distressed due to reasons such as bankruptcy or a significant downgrade in
credit rating. These securities are generally valued using non-binding quotes
from brokers or other indicative pricing sources. Lehman Brothers corporate debt
securities are included in this category, carried at an adjusted fair value of
$0.6 million at September 30, 2008 based on a price of 12.5 cents on the dollar.
Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements for additional information regarding FAS 157 Fair Value
Measurements.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company spent $150.7 million
and $131.0 million, respectively, on capital expenditures. The capital
expenditures for 2008 principally related to infrastructure support, new product
support and manufacturing capacity for new and future products. The Company
continues to make significant capital investments in its manufacturing
facilities. It is anticipated that total capital expenditures for 2008 will be
approximately $230 million and are expected to be funded primarily through cash
from operations and the proceeds from the previously issued long-term debt that
occurred in May of 2008.
Other
notable investing cash flows include $4.6 million proceeds received from the
sale of the Company’s inkjet supplies assembly plant located in Juarez, Mexico
in the third quarter of 2008 as well as $8.1 million proceeds received from the
sale of the Scotland facility that occurred in the first quarter of 2007. These
events are presented in Proceeds from sale of
facilities in the Investing section of the Consolidated Condensed
Statements of Cash Flows for their respective periods.
Financing
activities:
The
$189.4 million YTY increase in the net cash flows from financing activities was
driven by changes in the Company’s outstanding debt occurring in
2008. In the second quarter of 2008, the Company repaid $150.0
million of senior note debt that matured on May 15,
2008. Subsequently, the Company issued $350.0 million of five-year
fixed rate senior unsecured notes and $300 million of ten-year fixed rate senior
unsecured notes, resulting in total cash proceeds of $644.5 million, net of
discount and issuance costs. Interest will be paid semi-annually at annual
interest rates of 5.90% and 6.65% on the five- and ten-year notes, respectively.
Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements for additional information regarding the senior notes. The
net inflow of cash related to outstanding debt was offset partially by the
Company’s share repurchase activity.
In May
2008, the Company received authorization from the Board of Directors to
repurchase an additional $750 million of its Class A Common Stock for a
total repurchase authority of $4.65 billion. As of September 30, 2008,
there was approximately $0.6 billion of share repurchase authority
remaining. This repurchase authority allows the Company, at management’s
discretion, to selectively repurchase its stock from time to time in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions depending upon market price and
other factors. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company
repurchased approximately 7.7 million shares at a cost of approximately $274
million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company repurchased
approximately 12.3 million shares at a cost of approximately $432 million. As of
September 30, 2008, since the inception of the program in April 1996, the
Company had repurchased approximately 86.4 million shares for an aggregate
cost of approximately $4.0 billion. As of September 30, 2008, the Company
had reissued approximately 0.5 million shares of previously repurchased
shares in connection with certain of its employee benefit programs. As a result
of these issuances as
well as
the retirement of 44.0 million and 16.0 million shares of treasury
stock in 2005 and 2006, respectively, the net treasury shares held at September
30, 2008 were 25.9 million. The share repurchase summary above includes the
effect of the initial purchase transaction executed under the Company’s
accelerated share repurchase program agreement described below, 3.5 million
shares at a cost of $127.5 million.
On August
28, 2008, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement
(“ASR”) with a financial institution counterparty. Under the terms of
the ASR, the Company paid $150.0 million targeting 4.1 million shares based on
an initial price of $36.90. The Company took delivery of 85% of the shares, or
3.5 million shares at a cost of $127.5 million, and decreased the shares
outstanding used for the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per
share on the date of delivery. The shares delivered to Lexmark are currently
held in Treasury. The remaining 15% of the payment, or $22.5 million holdback
provision payment, has been applied against Capital in excess of par
until final settlement of the contract in the fourth quarter of 2008 and is
included in Other in
the Financing section of the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash
Flows.
The final
number of shares to be delivered by the counterparty under the ASR is dependent
on the average, volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock over
the agreement’s trading period, a discount and the initial number of shares
delivered. Under the terms of the ASR, the Company would either receive
additional shares from the counterparty or be required to deliver additional
shares or cash to the counterparty. The Company controlled its election to
either deliver additional shares or cash to the counterparty. The settlement
provision was essentially a forward contract, and was accounted for under the
provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock
as an equity instrument. On September 30, 2008, the Company evaluated the
forward contract in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Topic
No. D-72 Effect of Contracts
That May Be Settled in Stock or Cash on the Computation of Diluted Earnings per
Share and concluded that the effect would have been antidilutive and
therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per
share. On October 21, 2008, the counterparty delivered 1.2 million
shares as required under the agreement.
SOURCES
OF LIQUIDITY
In
addition to cash flows from operations, the Company has available liquidity
through its trade receivables facility and revolving credit
facility.
Trade
Receivables Facility
In the
U.S., the Company transfers a majority of its receivables to its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Lexmark Receivables Corporation (“LRC”), which then may transfer the
receivables on a limited recourse basis to an unrelated third party. In October
2004, the Company entered into an amended and restated agreement to sell a
portion of its trade receivables on a limited recourse basis. The amended
agreement allows for a maximum capital availability of $200 million under this
facility. The primary purpose of the amendment was to extend the term of the
facility to October 16, 2007, with required annual renewal of
commitments.
During
the first quarter of 2007, the Company amended the facility to allow LRC to
repurchase receivables previously transferred to the unrelated third party.
Prior to the 2007 amendment, the Company accounted for the transfer of
receivables from LRC to the unrelated third party as sales of receivables. As a
result of the 2007 amendment, the Company accounts for the transfers of
receivables from LRC to the unrelated third party as a secured borrowing with a
pledge of its receivables as collateral. The amendment became effective in the
second quarter of 2007.
This
facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants as well as
specific provisions related to the quality of the accounts receivables
transferred. As collections reduce previously transferred receivables, the
Company may replenish these with new receivables. Lexmark bears a limited risk
of bad debt losses on the trade receivables transferred, since the Company
over-collateralizes the receivables transferred with additional eligible
receivables. Lexmark addresses this risk of loss in its allowance for doubtful
accounts. Receivables transferred to the unrelated third-party may not include
amounts over 90 days past due or concentrations over certain limits with any one
customer. The facility also contains customary cash control
triggering events which, if triggered, could adversely affect the Company’s
liquidity and/or its ability to transfer trade receivables. A
downgrade in the Company’s credit rating could reduce the Company’s ability to
transfer trade receivables.
At
September 30, 2008, there were no secured borrowings outstanding under the trade
receivables facility. In October 2008, commitments to the facility were renewed
by one of the two banks, resulting in a decrease in the maximum capital
availability from $200 million to $100 million.
Revolving
Credit Facility
Effective
January 20, 2005, Lexmark entered into a $300 million 5-year senior,
unsecured, multi-currency revolving credit facility with a group of banks. Under
the credit facility, the Company may borrow in dollars, euros, British pounds
sterling and Japanese yen.
Lexmark’s
credit agreement contains usual and customary default provisions, leverage and
interest coverage restrictions and certain restrictions on secured and
subsidiary debt, disposition of assets, liens and mergers and acquisitions. The
$300 million credit facility has a maturity date of January 20,
2010.
At
September 30, 2008, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit
facility.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note
15 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 for a
description of recent accounting pronouncements which is incorporated herein by
reference.
FACTORS
THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
The
following significant factors, as well as others of which we are unaware or deem
to be immaterial at this time, could materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition or operating results in the future. Therefore, the following
information should be considered carefully together with other information
contained in this report. Past financial performance may not be a reliable
indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to
anticipate results or trends in future periods.
·
|
The
United States and other countries around the world have been experiencing
deteriorating economic conditions, including unprecedented financial
market disruption. If this trend in economic conditions
continues or deteriorates further, it could adversely affect the Company’s
results in future periods. During an economic downturn, demand
for the Company’s products may decrease. Restrictions on credit
globally and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in certain
countries, particularly emerging market countries, may impact economic
activity and the Company’s results. Credit risk associated with
the Company’s customers, channel partners and the Company’s
investment portfolio may also be adversely
impacted. Additionally, although the Company does not
anticipate needing additional capital in the near term due to the
Company’s strong current financial position, financial market disruption
may make it difficult for the Company to raise additional capital, when
needed, on acceptable terms or at all. The interest rate
environment and general economic conditions could also impact the
investment income the Company is able to earn on its investment
portfolio.
|
·
|
Unfavorable
global economic conditions may adversely impact the Company’s future
operating results. The Company continues to experience some weak markets
for its products. Continued softness in certain markets and uncertainty
about global economic conditions could result in lower demand for the
Company’s products, including supplies. Weakness in demand has resulted in
intense price competition and may result in excessive inventory for the
Company and/or its reseller channel, which may adversely affect sales,
pricing, risk of obsolescence and/or other elements of the Company’s
operating results. Ongoing weakness in demand for the Company’s hardware
products may also cause erosion of the installed base of products over
time, thereby reducing the opportunities for supplies sales in the
future.
|
·
|
The
Company and its major competitors, many of which have significantly
greater financial, marketing and/or technological resources than the
Company, have regularly lowered prices on their products and are expected
to continue to do so. In particular, both the inkjet and laser printer
markets have experienced and are expected to continue to experience
significant price pressure. Price reductions on inkjet or laser products
or the inability to reduce costs, including warranty costs, to contain
expenses or to increase or maintain sales as currently expected, as well
as price protection measures, could result in lower profitability and
jeopardize the Company’s ability to grow or maintain its market share. In
recent years, the gross margins on the Company’s hardware products have
been under pressure as a result of competitive pricing pressures in the
market. If the Company is unable to reduce costs to offset this
competitive pricing or product mix pressure, and the Company is unable to
support declining gross margins through the sale of supplies, the
Company’s operating results and future profitability may be negatively
impacted. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant
supplies pricing pressure, but if supplies pricing was to come under
significant pressure, the Company’s financial results could be materially
adversely affected.
|
·
|
The
Company’s future operating results may be adversely affected if it is
unable to successfully develop, manufacture, market and sell products into
the geographic and customer and product segments of the inkjet market that
support higher usage of supplies.
|
·
|
The
Company markets and sells its products through several sales channels. The
Company has also advanced a strategy of forming alliances and OEM
arrangements with many companies. The Company’s future operating results
may be adversely affected by any conflicts that might arise between or
among its various sales channels, the volume reduction in or loss of any
alliance or OEM arrangement or the loss of retail shelf space. Aggressive
pricing on laser and inkjet products and/or associated supplies from
customers and resellers, including, without limitation, OEM customers,
could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s strategy and
financial results.
|
·
|
The
introduction of products by the Company or its competitors, or delays in
customer purchases of existing products in anticipation of new product
introductions by the Company or its competitors and market acceptance of
new products and pricing programs, any disruption in the supply of new or
existing products as well as the costs of any product recall or increased
warranty, repair or replacement costs due to quality issues, the reaction
of competitors to any such new products or programs, the life cycles of
the Company’s products, as well as delays in product development and
manufacturing, and variations in cost, including but not limited to
component parts, raw materials, commodities, energy, products, labor
rates, distributors, fuel and variations in supplier terms and conditions,
may impact sales, may cause a buildup in the Company’s inventories, make
the transition from current products to new products difficult and could
adversely affect the Company’s future operating
results.
|
·
|
The
Company’s performance depends in part upon its ability to successfully
forecast the timing and extent of customer demand and reseller demand to
manage worldwide distribution and inventory levels of the Company.
Unexpected fluctuations in reseller inventory levels could disrupt
ordering patterns and may adversely affect the Company’s financial
results. In addition, the financial failure or loss of a key customer or
reseller could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial
results. The Company must also be able to address production and supply
constraints, including product disruptions caused by quality issues, and
delays or disruptions in the supply of key components necessary for
production, including without limitation component shortages due to
increasing global demand in the Company’s industry and other industries.
Such delays, disruptions or shortages may result in lost revenue or in the
Company incurring additional costs to meet customer demand. The Company’s
future operating results and its ability to effectively grow or maintain
its market share may be adversely affected if it is unable to address
these issues on a timely basis.

Our
revenue, gross margin and profit vary among our hardware, supplies and
services, product groups and geographic markets and therefore will likely
be different in future periods than our current results. Overall gross
margins and profitability in any given period is dependent upon the
hardware/supplies mix, the mix of hardware products sold, and the
geographic mix reflected in that period’s revenue. Overall market trends,
seasonal market trends, competitive pressures, pricing, commoditization of
products, increased component or shipping costs and other factors may
result in reductions in revenue or pressure on gross margins in a given
period.
|
·
|
The
Company’s future operating results may be adversely affected if it is
unable to continue to develop, manufacture and market products that are
reliable, competitive, and meet customers’ needs. The markets for laser
and inkjet products and associated supplies are aggressively competitive,
especially with respect to pricing and the introduction of new
technologies and products offering improved features and functionality. In
addition, the introduction of any significant new and/or disruptive
technology or business model by a competitor that substantially changes
the markets into which the Company sells its products or demand for the
products sold by the Company could severely impact sales of the Company’s
products and the Company’s operating results. The impact of competitive
activities on the sales volumes or revenue of the Company, or the
Company’s inability to effectively deal with these competitive issues,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to attract
and retain OEM customers, maintain or grow retail shelf space or maintain
or grow market share. The competitive pressure to develop technology and
products and to increase the Company’s investment in research and
development and marketing expenditures also could cause significant
changes in the level of the Company’s operating
expense.
|
·
|
The
Company has undertaken cost reduction measures over the last few years in
an effort to optimize the Company’s expense structure. Such actions have
included workforce reductions, the consolidation of manufacturing
capacity, and the centralization of support functions to regional and
global shared service centers. In particular, the Company’s manufacturing
and support functions are becoming more heavily concentrated in China and
the Philippines. The Company expects to realize cost savings in the future
through these actions and may announce future actions to further reduce
its worldwide workforce and/or centralize its operations. The risks
associated with these actions include potential delays in their
implementation, particularly workforce reductions, due to regulatory
requirements; increased costs associated with such actions; decreases in
employee morale and the failure to meet operational targets due to
unplanned departures of employees, particularly key employees and sales
employees.
|
·
|
The
entrance of additional competitors that are focused on printing solutions
could further intensify competition in the inkjet and laser printer
markets and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s strategy
and financial results.
|
·
|
The
Company’s inability to perform satisfactorily under service contracts for
managed print services and other customer services may result in the loss
of customers, loss of reputation and/or financial consequences that may
have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results and
strategy.
|
·
|
The
Company’s future operating results may be adversely affected if the
consumption of its supplies by end users of its products is lower than
expected or declines, if there are declines in pricing, unfavorable mix
and/or increased costs.
|
·
|
Refill,
remanufactured, clones, counterfeits and other compatible alternatives for
some of the Company’s cartridges are available and compete with the
Company’s supplies business. The Company expects competitive supplies
activity to increase. Various legal challenges and governmental activities
may intensify competition for the Company’s aftermarket supplies
business.

The
European Union has adopted the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive (the “Directive”) which requires producers of electrical and
electronic goods, including printing devices, to be financially
responsible for specified collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of
past and future covered products. The deadline for enacting and
implementing the Directive by individual European Union governments was
August 13, 2004 (such legislation, together with the Directive, the
“WEEE Legislation”), although extensions were granted to some countries.
Producers were to be financially responsible under the WEEE Legislation
beginning in August 2005. Similar legislation may be enacted in the future
in other jurisdictions as well. The impact of this legislation could
adversely affect the Company’s operating results and
profitability.

·
|
Certain
countries (primarily in Europe) and/or collecting societies representing
copyright owners’ interests have commenced proceedings to impose fees on
devices (such as scanners, printers and multifunction devices) alleging
the copyright owners are entitled to compensation because these devices
enable reproducing copyrighted content. Other countries are also
considering imposing fees on certain devices. The amount of fees, if
imposed, would depend on the number of products sold and the amounts of
the fee on each product, which will vary by product and by country. The
financial impact on the Company, which will depend in large part upon the
outcome of local legislative processes, the Company’s and other industry
participants’ outcome in contesting the fees and the Company’s ability to
mitigate that impact by increasing prices, which ability will depend upon
competitive market conditions, remains uncertain. The outcome of the
copyright fee issue could adversely affect the Company’s operating results
and business.
|
·
|
The
European Union has adopted the “RoHS” Directive (Restriction of use of
certain Hazardous Substances) which restricts the use of nine substances
in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market on or after
July 1, 2006. Compliance with the RoHS Directive could create
shortages of certain components or impact continuity of supply that could
adversely affect the Company’s operating results and
profitability.
|
·
|
The
Company’s effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in the
mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates. In
addition, the amount of income tax the Company pays is subject to ongoing
audits in various jurisdictions. A material assessment by a taxing
authority or a decision to repatriate foreign cash could adversely affect
the Company’s profitability.
|
·
|
Revenue
derived from international sales make up more than half of the Company’s
revenue. Accordingly, the Company’s future results could be adversely
affected by a variety of factors, including changes in a specific
country’s or region’s political or economic conditions, foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations, trade protection measures and unexpected
changes in regulatory requirements. In addition, changes in tax laws and
the ability to repatriate cash accumulated outside the U.S. in a tax
efficient manner may adversely affect the Company’s financial results,
investment flexibility and operations. Moreover, margins on international
sales tend to be lower than those on domestic sales, and the Company
believes that international operations in emerging geographic markets will
be less profitable than operations in the U.S. and European markets,
in part, because of the higher investment levels for marketing, selling
and distribution required to enter these
markets.
|
·
|
The
Company’s success depends in part on its ability to develop technology and
obtain patents, copyrights and trademarks, and maintain trade secret
protection, to protect its intellectual property against theft,
infringement or other misuse by others. The Company must also conduct its
operations without infringing the proprietary rights of others. Current or
future claims of intellectual property infringement could prevent the
Company from obtaining technology of others and could otherwise materially
and adversely affect its operating results or business, as could expenses
incurred by the Company in obtaining intellectual property rights,
enforcing its intellectual property rights against others or defending
against claims that the Company’s products infringe the intellectual
property rights of others, that the Company engages in false or deceptive
practices or that its conduct is
anti-competitive.
|
·
|
The
Company relies in large part on its international production facilities
and international manufacturing partners, many of which are located in
China and the Philippines, for the manufacture of its products and key
components of its products. Future operating results may also be adversely
affected by several other factors, including, without limitation, if the
Company’s international operations or manufacturing partners are unable to
perform or supply products reliably, if there are disruptions in
international trade, disruptions at important geographic points of exit
and entry, if there are difficulties in transitioning such manufacturing
activities among the Company, its international operations and/or its
manufacturing partners, or if there arise production and supply
constraints which result in additional costs to the Company. The financial
failure or loss of a sole supplier or significant supplier of products or
key components, or their inability to produce the required quantities,
could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating
results.
|
·
|
The
Company has migrated the infrastructure support of its information
technology system and application maintenance functions to third-party
service providers. The Company is in the process of centralizing certain
of its accounting and other finance functions and order-to-cash functions
from various countries to shared service centers. The Company is also in
the process of reducing, consolidating and moving various parts of its
general and administrative resource, supply chain resource and marketing
and sales support structure. Many of these processes and functions are
moving to lower-cost countries, including China, India and the
Philippines. Any disruption in these systems, processes or functions could
have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations, its financial
results, its systems of internal controls and its ability to accurately
record and report transactions and financial
results.
|
·
|
The
Company depends on its information technology systems for the development,
manufacture, distribution, marketing, sales and support of its products
and services. Any failure in such systems, or the systems of a partner or
supplier, may adversely affect the Company’s operating results.
Furthermore, because vast quantities of the Company’s products flow
through only a few distribution centers to provide product to various
geographic regions, the failure of information technology systems or any
other disruption affecting those product distribution centers could have a
material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to deliver product and on
the Company’s financial results.
|
·
|
Our
worldwide operations and those of our manufacturing partners, suppliers,
and freight transporters, among others, are subject to natural and manmade
disasters and other business interruptions such as earthquakes, tsunamis,
floods, hurricanes, typhoons, fires, extreme weather conditions,
environmental hazards, power shortages, water shortages and
telecommunications failures. The occurrence of any of these business
disruptions could seriously harm our revenue and financial condition and
increase our costs and expenses. As the Company continues its
consolidation of certain functions into shared service centers and
movement of certain functions to lower cost countries, the probability and
impact of business disruptions may be increased over
time.
|
·
|
Terrorist
attacks and the potential for future terrorist attacks have created many
political and economic uncertainties, some of which may affect the
Company’s future operating results. Future terrorist attacks, the national
and international responses to such attacks, and other acts of war or
hostility may affect the Company’s facilities, employees, suppliers,
customers, transportation networks and supply chains, or may affect the
Company in ways that are not capable of being predicted
presently.
|
·
|
The
Company relies heavily on the health and welfare of its employees, the
employees of its manufacturing and distribution partners and customers.
The widespread outbreak of any form of communicable disease affecting a
large number of workers could adversely impact the Company’s operating
results.
|
·
|
In
many foreign countries, particularly those with developing economies, it
is common for local business practices to be prohibited by laws and
regulations applicable to the Company, such as employment laws, fair trade
laws or the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Although the Company implements
policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws, our
employees, contractors and agents, as well as those business partners to
which we outsource certain of our business operations, may take actions in
violation of our policies. Any such violation, even if prohibited by our
policies, could have a material adverse effect on our business and our
reputation. Because of the challenges in managing a geographically
dispersed workforce, there also may be additional opportunities for
employees to commit fraud or personally engage in practices which violate
the policies and procedures of the
Company.
|
·
|
The
Company has historically used stock options and other forms of share-based
payment awards as key components of the total rewards program for employee
compensation in order to align employees’ interests with the interests of
stockholders, motivate employees, encourage employee retention and provide
competitive compensation and benefits packages. As a result of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, the Company would incur
increased compensation costs associated with its share-based compensation
programs and as a result has reviewed its compensation strategy in light
of the current regulatory and competitive environment and has decided to
change the form of its share-based awards. Due to this change in
compensation strategy, combined with other benefit plan changes undertaken
to reduce costs, the Company may find it difficult to attract, retain and
motivate employees, and any such difficulty could materially adversely
affect its operating results.
|
·
|
Factors
unrelated to the Company’s operating performance, including the financial
failure or loss of significant customers, resellers, manufacturing
partners or suppliers; the outcome of pending and future litigation or
governmental proceedings; and the ability to retain and attract key
personnel, could also adversely affect the Company’s operating results. In
addition, the Company’s stock price, like that of other technology
companies, can be volatile. Trading activity in the Company’s common
stock, particularly the trading of large blocks and intraday trading in
the Company’s common stock, may affect the Company’s common stock
price.
|
Item
3. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The
market risk inherent in the Company’s financial instruments and positions
represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and
foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest
Rates
At
September 30, 2008, the fair value of the Company’s senior notes was estimated
at $618.5 million using quoted market prices obtained from an independent
broker. The carrying value as recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements
of Financial Position at September 30, 2008 exceeded the fair value of the
senior notes by approximately $30.2 million. Market risk is estimated as
the potential change in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse
change in interest rates and amounts to approximately $23.1 million at
September 30, 2008.
Foreign
Currency Exchange Rates
The
Company has employed, from time to time, a foreign currency hedging strategy to
limit potential losses in earnings or cash flows from adverse foreign currency
exchange rate movements. Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions
denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency and from
foreign denominated revenue and profit translated into U.S. dollars. The
primary currencies to which the Company is exposed include the Euro, the Mexican
peso, the British pound, the Philippine peso, and the Australian dollar, as well
as other currencies. Exposures may be hedged with foreign currency forward
contracts, put options, and call options generally with maturity dates of twelve
months or less. The potential gain in fair value at September 30, 2008 for such
contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in all foreign
currency exchange rates is approximately $7.8 million. This gain would be
mitigated by corresponding losses on the underlying exposures.
Item
4. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The
Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation,
the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that the
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and were effective
as of the end of the period covered by this report, to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s
management including its principal executive and principal financial officers,
or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Beginning
in the third quarter of 2006 and continuing through the third quarter of 2008,
the Company has been centralizing certain of its accounting, other finance
functions, and order-to-cash functions from various countries to shared service
centers. As a result, certain changes in basic processes and internal controls
and procedures for day-to-day accounting functions and financial reporting have
been made. In the second quarter of 2007, the Company migrated the majority of
the transaction processing for after-sales service activities in the United
States to a new software system. This migration continued for countries outside
the United States during the third quarter of 2008. While management believes
the changed controls along with additional compensating controls relating to
financial reporting for affected processes are adequate and effective,
management continues to evaluate and monitor the changes in controls and
procedures as processes in each of these areas evolve.
Except
for implementing the changes noted above, there has been no change in the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
quarter ended September 30, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
On
October 3, 2008, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky
issued a memorandum opinion denying various motions made by the Company that
sought to reverse the jury’s finding that Static Control Components, Inc. did
not induce infringement of Lexmark’s patents-in-suit. The U.S. District Court
did, however, grant the Company’s motion that SCC’s equitable defenses,
including patent misuse, were moot. As a result, the jury’s advisory findings on
misuse, including the jury’s finding that the relevant market was the cartridge
market rather than the printer market and that the Company had unreasonably
restrained competition in that market, were not adopted by the U.S. District
Court. There have been no other material developments to the legal proceedings
previously disclosed in Part I, Item 3 of the Company's 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K, other than those reported in the Company’s 10-Q for the first quarter
ending March 31, 2008.

1A.
RISK FACTORS
A
description of the risk factors associated with the Company’s business is
included under “Factors That May Affect Future Results And Information
Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contained in Item 2 of Part I
of this report. Except for the addition of the following risk factor, there have
been no material changes to the risk factors associated with the business
previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
·
|
The
United States and other countries around the world have been experiencing
deteriorating economic conditions, including unprecedented financial
market disruption. If this trend in economic conditions
continues or deteriorates further, it could adversely affect the Company’s
results in future periods. During an economic downturn, demand
for the Company’s products may decrease. Restrictions on credit
globally and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in certain
countries, particularly emerging market countries, may impact economic
activity and the Company’s results. Credit risk associated with
the Company’s customers, channel partners and the Company’s
investment portfolio may also be adversely
impacted. Additionally, although the Company does not
anticipate needing additional capital in the near term due to the
Company’s strong current financial position, financial market disruption
may make it difficult for the Company to raise additional capital, when
needed, on acceptable terms or at all. The interest rate
environment and general economic conditions could also impact the
investment income the Company is able to earn on its investment
portfolio.

In
May 2008, the Company received authorization from the Board of Directors
to repurchase an additional $750 million of its Class A Common Stock
for a total repurchase authority of $4.65 billion. As of September
30, 2008, there was approximately $0.6 billion of share repurchase
authority remaining. This repurchase authority allows the Company, at
management’s discretion, to selectively repurchase its stock from time to
time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending
upon market price and other factors. For the three months ended September
30, 2008, the Company repurchased approximately 7.7 million shares at a
cost of approximately $274 million. As of September 30, 2008, since the
inception of the program in April 1996, the Company had repurchased
approximately 86.4 million shares for an aggregate cost of
approximately $4.0 billion.
|
(2)
|
On
August 28, 2008, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase
agreement (“ASR”) with a financial institution counterparty. Under the
terms of the ASR, the Company paid $150.0 million targeting 4.1 million
shares based on an initial price of $36.90. On September 3, 2008, the
Company took delivery of 85% of the shares, or 3.5 million shares at a
cost of $127.5 million, and has included these share repurchases in the
table above in the month of
September.
|
(3)
|
Average Price Paid per
Share includes the purchase price of $36.90 used in the
initial ASR transaction included in the data above. The actual average
purchase price of shares purchased pursuant to the ASR agreement was not
determinable at September 30, 2008 since the agreement did not conclude
until the fourth quarter. Average Price Paid per
Share recalculated to include only open market transactions is
$36.49 for the month of September and $34.11 for the third quarter of
2008.
|
(4)
|
On
October 21, 2008, the counterparty delivered 1.2 million additional shares
in final settlement of the agreement, bringing the total shares
repurchased under the ASR to 4.7 million shares at an average price of
$31.91. This data will be reflected in the fourth quarter table and
related footnotes in the Company’s 2008
10-K.

5. OTHER
INFORMATION
On
November 1, 2008, the Company entered into a new form of Employment Agreement
(“Employment Agreement”) with, among other executive officers, each of Paul J.
Curlander, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; John W. Gamble,
Jr., the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Paul A.
Rooke, the Company’s Executive Vice President and President of the Consumer
Printer Division, and Martin S. Canning, Vice President and President of the
Printing Solutions and Services Division, each a Named Executive Officer of the
Company. The new form of Employment Agreement was prepared primarily to comply
with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
and the final Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. In instances where a
previous form of employment agreement had been entered into by the Company with
the executive, such agreements were terminated by the Company and the respective
executive. The new form of Employment Agreement provides for a term commencing
on November 1, 2008 and ending on October 31, 2010. In each case, the
executive’s employment shall continue thereafter at will. The predecessor form
of employment agreement provided for a bi-annual automatic renewal of the
agreement unless the Company or the executive provided notice that the agreement
would not be renewed. The new form of Employment Agreement provides for certain
additional payments beyond the term of employment if employment is terminated by
the Company without “cause,” by the executive for “good reason,” and by the
executive’s death or disability. These potential payments are substantially the
same as provided in the predecessor agreements they replace. The new form of
Employment Agreement otherwise includes covenants and conditions typically
included in such agreements.
On
November 1, 2008, the Company entered into a new form of Change in Control
Agreement (“CIC Agreement”) with, among other executive officers, each of Dr.
Curlander and Messrs. Gamble, Rooke, and Canning. The new form of CIC Agreement
was prepared primarily to comply with Section 409A of the Code and the final
Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. In instances where a previous form of
change in control agreement had been entered into by the Company with the
executive, such agreements were terminated by the Company and the respective
executive. The new form of CIC Agreement provides for a term commencing on
November 1, 2008 and ending on October 31, 2010, provided however, that
commencing on November 1, 2009 and on each anniversary thereof, unless
previously terminated, the CIC Agreement shall be automatically extended so as
to terminate two years from such renewal date. The CIC Agreement
generally provides for certain payments to each of the executive officers if,
within 12 months prior to a “Change in Control” (as defined in the CIC
Agreement), the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company in
connection with or in anticipation of the Change in Control, or within 24 months
after a Change in Control, the executive’s employment is terminated by the
Company or the executive under certain circumstances. In the event of a
termination of employment by the Company without “cause” or by the executive for
“good reason,” the executive would receive his base salary and pro rata annual
bonus through the date of termination. In addition, in the case of Dr. Curlander
and Messrs. Gamble and Rooke, the executive would receive three times the sum of
his annual base salary and annual incentive compensation, and in the case of Mr.
Canning, two times the sum of his annual base salary and annual incentive
compensation. The CIC Agreement also provides for the continuation of welfare
benefits for a period of three years in the case of Dr. Curlander and Messrs.
Gamble and Rooke and for a period of two years in the case of Mr. Canning. If
any excise tax is imposed because payments under the CIC Agreement result in
excess parachute payments, the executive will receive a gross-up payment that
will result in the payment of any taxes and the excise tax on the gross-up
payment. The renewal provisions and the potential payments under the CIC
Agreements are substantially the same as provided in the predecessor agreements
they replace. The new form of CIC Agreement otherwise includes covenants and
conditions typically included in such agreements.
On
November 1, 2008, the Company entered into forms of Amended and Restated
Agreements pursuant to the 2006-2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 2007-2009
Long-Term Incentive Plan with each of Dr. Curlander, and Messrs. Gamble, Rooke
and Canning. The prior agreements were amended to comply with the short-term
deferral exception under Section 409A of the Code and the final Treasury
Regulations issued thereunder.
The
foregoing descriptions of the terms of each of the agreements are meant to be a
summary only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text
of the agreements filed with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as Exhibits
10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7and 10.8, respectively.
