Note 2 — Supplemental Financial Information

 

Effective January 1, 2009, Abbott adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” which requires that unvested restricted stock units that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends be treated as participating securities and be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method.  Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities.  Net earnings allocated to common shares for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $1.476 billion and $4.196 billion, respectively.  Net earnings allocated to common shares in 2008 were not significantly different than net earnings.

 

Other (income) expense, net, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 includes a $287 million gain from the settlement reached between Abbott and Medtronic, Inc. resolving all outstanding intellectual property litigation between the two parties.  Other (income) expense, net, for the first nine months of 2009 includes the derecognition of a contingent liability of $797 million associated with the conclusion of the TAP joint venture as discussed in Note 9 and income from the recording of certain investments at fair value in connection with business acquisitions.  Other (income) expense, net, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 and 2008 also includes ongoing contractual payments from Takeda associated with the conclusion of the TAP joint venture.  In connection with the dissolution of the TAP joint venture, Abbott recorded a gain of approximately $95 million in the first nine months of 2008, which is included in Other (income) expense, net.  Other (income) expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 also includes a gain of approximately $52 million on the sale of an equity investment accounted for as an available-for-sale investment.

Impairment on Investments
 
In April 2009, we implemented newly issued accounting standards which provided guidance for recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations; however, this standard amended the other-than-temporary impairment model for debt securities. The impairment model for equity securities was not affected. Refer to Note 6, Financial Instruments, of this Form 10-Q for additional information on the adoption of this guidance.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized impairment losses of $0.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively, on our strategic investments and non-marketable securities. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized $3.3 million and $12.7 million, respectively, in charges for the impairment of strategic investments and non-marketable securities that were determined to be other-than-temporary.
 
No impairment losses were recognized through earnings related to available for sale securities during the three months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized $3.6 million in charges. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized $14.1 million and $19.3 million, respectively, in charges for the other-than-temporary impairment of available for sale securities primarily related to mortgage and asset backed securities.
 
Noncontrolling Interest
 
Effective January 1, 2009, we changed the accounting and reporting for our minority interests by recharacterizing them as noncontrolling interest. Prior year amounts related to noncontrolling interest, historically reflected as a component of other income (expense), net, have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Amounts previously reported as minority interest are now shown separately from net income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and total $1.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $1.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively, in the prior year comparative periods. Refer to Note 1, Business Overview, and Note 9, Equity, of this Form 10-Q for additional information on the adoption of this guidance.

Gain on sale of product lines, businesses and assets were primarily related to the sale of mature brands, including the Pakistan and other middle eastern businesses in 2009 and sales of various trademarks.

Other, net includes gains and losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment, certain litigation charges/recoveries, and ConvaTec and Medical Imaging net transitional service fees.

In the three months ended October 2, 2009, the Company incurred other operating charges of approximately $48 million, which consisted of $25 million attributable to the Company's ongoing productivity initiatives and $23 million related to restructuring charges. Refer to Note M for additional information on our productivity initiatives and restructuring charges.

During the nine months ended October 2, 2009, the Company incurred other operating charges of approximately $212 million, which consisted of $114 million related to restructuring charges, $58 million attributable to the Company's ongoing productivity initiatives and $40 million due to asset impairments. Refer to Note M for additional information on the restructuring charges and productivity initiatives. The asset impairment charges were the result of a change in the expected useful life of an intangible asset and a change in disposal strategy related to a building that is no longer occupied. Refer to Note H for additional information related to these impairment charges.

In the three months ended September 26, 2008, our Company recorded other operating charges of approximately $47 million, which consisted of $35 million related to restructuring charges and $12 million attributable to the Company's ongoing productivity initiatives. Refer to Note M for additional information on the restructuring charges and productivity initiatives.

During the nine months ended September 26, 2008, the Company incurred other operating charges of approximately $242 million, which consisted of $143 million related to restructuring charges, $44 million related to contract termination costs, $31 million due to asset impairments and $24 million attributable to the Company's ongoing productivity initiatives. Refer to Note M for additional information on the restructuring charges and productivity initiatives. The contract termination charge was related to fees paid by the Company to terminate an existing supply agreement. The asset impairment charges were primarily related to the write-down of manufacturing lines that produce product packaging materials to their estimated salvage values.

Other Nonoperating Items

Equity Income (Loss) — Net

In the third quarter of 2009, the Company recorded charges of approximately $6 million in equity income (loss) — net. These charges primarily represent the Company's proportionate share of restructuring charges recorded by equity method investees. These charges impacted the Bottling Investments and Corporate operating segments. Refer to Note O for additional information on the impact these charges had on our operating segments.

During the nine months ended October 2, 2009, the Company recorded charges of approximately $68 million in equity income (loss) — net. These charges primarily represent the Company's proportionate share of asset impairments and restructuring charges recorded by equity method investees. These charges impacted the Bottling Investments and Corporate operating segments. Refer to Note O for additional information on the impact these charges had on our operating segments.

In the third quarter of 2008, the Company recognized a net charge to equity income (loss) — net of approximately $3 million, primarily related to our proportionate share of restructuring charges recorded by equity method investees. None of the items was individually significant. The net charge impacted the Bottling Investments operating segment. Refer to Note O for additional information on the impact these charges had on our operating segments.

During the nine months ended September 26, 2008, the Company recognized a net charge to equity income (loss) — net of approximately $1,130 million, primarily due to our proportionate share of a $5.3 billion pretax ($3.4 billion after-tax) charge recorded by CCE due to an impairment of CCE's North American franchise rights. The Company's proportionate share of this charge was approximately $1.1 billion. The decline in the estimated fair value of CCE's North American franchise rights was the result of several factors including, but not limited to, (1) challenging macroeconomic conditions which have contributed to lower than anticipated volume for higher-margin packages and certain higher-margin beverage categories; (2) increases in raw material costs, including significant increases in aluminum, high fructose corn syrup and resin; and (3) increased delivery costs as a result of higher fuel costs. These charges impacted the Bottling Investments operating segment. Refer to Note O for additional information on the impact these charges had on our operating segments.

Other Income (Loss) — Net

During the three months ended October 2, 2009, the Company realized a gain of approximately $10 million in other income (loss) — net on the sale of equity securities that were classified as available-for-sale. In 2008, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment on these same securities, primarily due to the length of time the market value had been less than our cost basis and the lack of intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any recovery in market value. The gain on the sale of these securities represents the appreciation in market value since the impairment was recognized.

In addition to items that impacted the three months ended October 2, 2009, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $27 million in other income (loss) — net during the nine months ended October 2, 2009. This charge was the result of an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of a cost method investment. As of December 31, 2008, the estimated fair value of this investment approximated the Company's carrying value in the investment. However, during the first quarter of 2009, the Company was informed by the investee of its intent to reorganize its capital structure in 2009, which would result in the Company's shares in the investee being canceled. As a result, the Company determined that the decline in fair value of this cost method investment was other than temporary. This impairment charge impacted the Corporate operating segment. Refer to Note H.

In the three months ended September 26, 2008, the Company sold approximately 49 percent of our interest in Coca-Cola Beverages Pakistan Ltd. ("Coca-Cola Pakistan") to Coca-Cola Icecek A.S. ("Coca-Cola Icecek"). We recognized a gain of approximately $16 million in other income (loss) — net on this transaction, which impacted the Corporate operating segment. Subsequent to this transaction, the Company owns a noncontrolling interest in Coca-Cola Pakistan and will account for our remaining investment under the equity method.

In addition to items that impacted the three months ended September 26, 2008, the Company recognized gains of approximately $102 million in other income (loss) — net during the nine months ended September 26, 2008. The gains were primarily related to the sale of Refrigerantes Minas Gerais Ltda. ("Remil"), a bottler in Brazil, to Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Coca-Cola FEMSA"). Prior to this sale, our Company owned 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Remil. Cash proceeds from the sale were approximately $275 million, net of the cash balance as of the disposal date. The gains on these divestitures impacted the Bottling Investments and Corporate operating segments.

13 CSX CORP

The Company derives income from items that are not considered operating activities.  Income from these items is reported net of related expense in other income – net on the consolidated income statements.  Other income – net consists primarily of interest income, income from real estate and miscellaneous income (expense).

 Interest income fluctuates as a result of interest rates and balances that earn interest based on CSX’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.  Income from real estate includes the results of operations of the Company’s non-operating real estate sales, leasing, acquisition and management and development activities.  This real estate income may fluctuate as a function of timing of real estate sales.  Miscellaneous income includes a number of items which can be income or expense.  Examples of these items are equity earnings or losses, noncontrolling minority interest expense, investment gains and losses and other non-operating activities.  Other income – net consisted of the following:

NOTE 11. OTHER INCOME

During the third quarter of 2009, Ormco Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, settled certain litigation pending between Ormco and Align Technology, Inc. (Align). Among other provisions, as part of the settlement, Align paid $13 million in cash to Ormco and issued to the Company 7.6 million shares of Align common stock, which following issuance represented an approximately ten percent ownership interest in Align. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $85 million ($53 million after tax or $0.16 per share) related to the settlement representing the cash received and the value of the shares received on the respective dates the shares were issued to the Company, net of $13 million of related legal and direct settlement costs incurred. This gain is reflected as “other (income) expense” in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings. The shares received in connection with the settlement have been classified as available-for-sale securities. Any gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the securities are reflected as unrealized gains or losses in other comprehensive income and classified as a component of stockholders’ equity until such gains or losses are realized.

1     The company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to its foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities.  The objective of this program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies in order to minimize, on an after-tax basis, the effects of exchange rate changes on net monetary asset positions.  The net pre-tax exchange gains and losses are partially offset by the associated tax impact.

  

2     Miscellaneous income and expenses, net, includes interest items, litigation settlements, and other items.

We have non-dollar-denominated intercompany loans between GrafTech Finance and certain of our foreign subsidiaries. At December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009, the aggregate principal amount of these loans was $558.4 million and $589.3 million, respectively (based on currency exchange rates in effect at such dates). These loans are subject to remeasurement gains and losses due to changes in currency exchange rates. Certain of these loans had been deemed to be essentially permanent prior to settlement and, as a result, remeasurement gains and losses on these loans were recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The loans remaining are deemed to be temporary and, as a result, remeasurement gains and losses on these loans are recorded as currency gains / losses in other income (expense), net, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, we had a net total of $18.5 million of currency gains and $9.9 million of currency losses, respectively, due to the remeasurement of intercompany loans and the effect of transaction gains and losses related to foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the US dollar. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, we had a net total of $5.8 million of currency gains and $6.5 million of currency losses, respectively, due to the remeasurement of intercompany loans and the effect of transaction gains and losses related to foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the US dollar.

In connection with the redemption of $180 million of the outstanding principal of the Senior Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred a $6.8 million loss on the extinguishment of debt, which includes $6.2 million related to the call premium and $0.6 million of charges for the accelerated amortization of the debt issuance fees, terminated interest rate swaps and the premium related to the Senior Notes.

On September 28, 2009, we redeemed the remaining outstanding Senior Notes totaling $19.9 million. We incurred a $0.4 million loss on the extinguishment of the debt, which includes $0.3 million related to the call premium and $0.1 million of charges for the accelerated amortization of the debt issuance fees, terminated interest rate swaps, and premium related to the Senior Notes.

In connection with the conversion of our $225.0 million of Convertible Senior Debentures in June 2008, we incurred a $9.0 million charge related to the make-whole provision. This charge represented the present value of all remaining scheduled interest payments from the date of conversion through January 15, 2011. We also recorded a gain of $4.1 million upon derecognition, as discussed in Note 4.

    The change in Other (income) expense, net in the third quarter of 2009 as compared with the third quarter of 2008 primarily reflects a $2.76 billion gain in 2009 on the sale of the Company’s interest in Merial (see Note 9). Additionally, the Company recognized net gains of $127 million in the Company’s investment portfolio in the third quarter of 2009 compared with net losses of $88 million in the third quarter of 2008. Partially offsetting these increases was lower interest income, resulting from lower interest rates and a change in the Company’s investment portfolio mix toward cash and shorter-dated securities in anticipation of the pending Schering-Plough merger, and higher interest expense driven largely by $88 million of commitment fees and incremental interest expense related to the financing of the proposed Schering-Plough merger.
    Included in Other (income) expense, net in the first nine months of 2009 was a $2.76 billion gain on the sale of the Company’s interest in Merial, $226 million of recognized net gains in the Company’s investment portfolio, $151 million of commitment fees and incremental interest expense related to the financing of the proposed Schering-Plough merger and an $80 million charge related to the settlement of the Company’s Vioxx third-party payor litigation in the United States. Included in Other (income) expense, net for the first nine months of 2008 was an aggregate gain from AZLP of $2.22 billion (see Note 9), a gain of $249 million related to the sale of the Company’s remaining worldwide rights to Aggrastat, a $300 million expense for a contribution to the Merck Company Foundation, $108 million of recognized net losses in the Company’s investment portfolio and a $58 million charge related to the resolution of an investigation into whether the Company violated state consumer protection laws with respect to the sales and marketing of Vioxx. In addition, during the first nine months of 2009 the Company has recognized lower interest income resulting from lower interest rates and a change in the Company’s investment portfolio mix toward cash and shorter-dated securities in anticipation of the pending Schering-Plough merger. Interest paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $163.3 million and $181.2 million, respectively, which excludes commitment fees.

(1) Includes restructuring charges as discussed below.
 
In September 2008, the Company began an enterprise-wide cost reduction and revenue enhancement initiative which is expected to be fully implemented by December 31, 2010. This initiative is focused on reducing complexity, leveraging scale, increasing productivity, and improving the effectiveness of the Company’s operations, as well as providing a foundation for future growth. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had a liability for severance-related restructuring costs of $48 million and $86 million, respectively. In addition, at September 30, 2009, the Company had a liability for contract costs associated with the termination of an operating lease of $11 million. Restructuring charges incurred in connection with this enterprise-wide initiative during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $45 million and $82 million, respectively, and during both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $73 million. These restructuring costs were included in other expenses. As the expenses relate to an enterprise-wide initiative, they were incurred within Corporate & Other. Estimated restructuring costs may change as management continues to execute its restructuring plans. Restructuring charges associated with this enterprise-wide initiative were as follows:

Management anticipates further restructuring charges including severance, lease and asset impairments will be incurred during the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010. However, such restructuring plans are not sufficiently developed to enable the Company to make an estimate of such restructuring charges at September 30, 2009.
 
In addition to the restructuring charges incurred in connection with the aforementioned enterprise-wide initiative, the Company also incurred severance costs in connection with the Argentine government’s nationalization of its private pension business. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had a liability for severance-related restructuring costs of $1 million and $3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company made payments of $2 million within the International segment. No payments were made by the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

2. Brazil Tax Amnesty Program and Other Charges

2009 Third Quarter Brazil Tax Amnesty Program and Other Charges

In the third quarter 2009, Praxair recorded a net after-tax benefit of $7 million ($0.02 per diluted share) related primarily to a recently announced Federal tax amnesty program in Brazil (referred to as “Refis Program”).

The net benefit has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements as follows:

(a) Operating profit includes a $149 million charge for non-income tax disputes which were settled by using existing NOL carryforwards, with full valuation allowances. Income taxes include an offsetting benefit from reversing the related valuation allowances which are no longer required. Net income is not impacted.

On May 28, 2009, the Brazilian government published Law 11941/2009 (“Refis Program”) instituting a new voluntary amnesty program which allows Brazilian companies to settle certain Federal tax disputes by November 30, 2009 at reduced amounts. Subsequently, on July 23, 2009, the final regulations were issued. During the 2009 third quarter, Praxair completed an evaluation of its existing Federal tax disputes with respect to the Refis Program and determined that it is economically beneficial to settle numerous Federal tax disputes, most of which were related to non income-tax matters which are reflected in operating profit. Under the Refis Program, existing net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) can be used to satisfy a portion of the settlement obligation. As the Company has full valuation allowances for the deferred tax assets relating to such NOL carryforwards, the related valuation allowances were reversed resulting in an income tax benefit, offsetting an equal loss in operating profit. The Refis Program resulted in a $194 million charge to operating profit which includes $149 million of interest charges which were offset by an equal amount of income tax benefits from the utilization of NOL deferred tax assets. However, on a net income basis, the Refis Program resulted in $23 million of net income because of the NOL utilization and the deductibility of interest charges.

Due primarily to the impacts of the Refis Program, income projections now indicate that it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood) that the remaining deferred tax assets related to a Brazilian subsidiary’s NOL carryforwards will be realized. Accordingly, the remaining valuation allowances related to NOL deferred income tax assets of $82 million were reversed. Also, to reflect the impact of recent developments, Praxair recorded additional charges related to government receivables and a state tax matter totaling $88 million ($58 million after-tax).

In summary, the Brazilian Refis Program, NOL and other Brazilian government-related matters resulted in a pre-tax charge of $282 million but resulted in an after-tax benefit of $47 million due to the NOL utilization to settle interest obligations, the deductibility of such interest charges, and reversal of the remaining valuation allowances related to NOL deferred tax assets. The settlement of the Refis Program is expected to require an incremental cash outlay of up to $90 million in the 2009 fourth quarter.

Additionally, a pre-tax charge of $24 million ($16 million after-tax) was recorded in Brazil related to a business restructuring of the natural gas cylinder business to reflect continued demand downturns primarily due to government disincentives against conversions to natural gas powered vehicles. Praxair also recorded a charge of $24 million to income taxes relating to an entity reorganization and other recent developments in North America and Europe.

2008 Fourth Quarter Cost Reduction Program

In the fourth quarter 2008, Praxair recorded pre-tax charges totaling $118 million relating to severance for approximately 1,675 employees and other exit costs associated with a global cost reduction program which was initiated in response to the continuing economic downturn. At September 30, 2009, 1,531 of these positions have been eliminated. The remaining actions are planned to be completed in 2009 primarily as businesses are sold or shut down. For further details regarding the cost reduction program, refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of Praxair’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2008 First Quarter Pension Settlement Charge

A pension settlement charge of $17 million ($11 million after-tax or $0.03 per diluted share) was recorded in the first quarter of 2008 for net unrecognized actuarial losses related to lump sum benefit payments made from the U.S. supplemental pension plan to a number of recently retired senior managers, including Praxair’s former chairman and chief executive officer.

In September 2008, Schering-Plough completed its previously announced divestitures of certain Animal Health products as required by regulatory agencies in the U.S. and Europe in connection with the acquisition of OBS. As a result of these divestitures, Schering-Plough recognized a gain of $160 million ($149 million after tax). In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Schering-Plough recognized a gain of $17 million ($12 million after tax) on the sale of a manufacturing site. These gains were included in Gain on sales of assets. Net cash proceeds from the divested animal health products were $210 million.
 
During 2008, Schering-Plough participated in health care refinancing programs adopted by local government fiscal authorities in a major European market. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, Schering-Plough transferred $47 million of its trade accounts receivables owned by a foreign subsidiary to third-party financial institutions without recourse. The transfer of trade accounts receivable qualified as sales of accounts receivable under SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the transfer of these trade accounts receivable did not have a material impact on Schering-Plough’s Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations. Cash flows from these transactions are included in the change in accounts receivable in operating activities.

4.        Other Expense, Net

        As discussed in Note 1, although the company’s cash interest payments have not been affected, the adoption of the new convertible debt accounting guidance has increased the company’s reported interest expense in a manner that reflects interest rates of similar non-convertible debt. The rule required adjustment of prior periods to conform to current accounting.
