NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
(Thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. In addition,
certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been
condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The
results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be
expected for the full year.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Other than as described below, no new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the
fiscal year has had or is
expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Disclosures about Derivatives Instruments
In March 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on disclosures about derivative
instruments and hedging activities. The new guidance expands the disclosure requirements for
derivative instruments and hedging activities. This Statement specifically requires entities to
provide enhanced disclosures addressing the following: how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. We adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of 2009. The
required disclosures have been set forth in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Subsequent Events
In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on subsequent events. The guidance requires the
disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for
that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or
were available to be issued. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements. The company adopted the new guidance for the second quarter of 2009. For the
third quarter of 2009, we evaluated subsequent events through November 5, 2009, the date the
condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on interim disclosures about the fair value of
financial instruments. The new guidance requires disclosures about the fair value of financial
instruments in interim and annual financial statements, effective for periods ending after June 15,
2009. We adopted the new guidance on the effective date. In August 2009, the FASB issued an accounting update on fair value measurements and
disclosures that provides additional guidance clarifying the measurement of liabilities at
fair value. The update clarifies how the price of a traded debt security should be considered in
estimating the fair value of the issuers liability. This update is effective for the first
reporting period beginning after its issuance. We are currently reviewing this update to determine
the impact, if any, that it may have on our financial statements. Refer to Note 7 for additional
information regarding our fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities.
Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets
In December 2008, the FASB issued guidance on employers disclosure about postretirement
benefit plan assets. The accounting guidance provides additional guidance on employers
disclosures about the plan assets of defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The
guidance requires disclosures about how investment allocation decisions are made, the fair value of
each major category of plan assets, valuation techniques used to develop fair value measurements of
plan assets, the impact of measurements on changes in plan assets when using significant
unobservable inputs and significant concentrations of risk in the plan assets. We are currently
assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statement disclosures. These disclosures are
required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The company is currently assessing the
impact of the new guidance on our financial statement disclosures.

Table of Contents
Participating Securities
In June 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on determining whether instruments
granted in share based payment transactions are participating securities. This accounting guidance
addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating
securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the allocation in computing
earnings per share under the two-class method. The guidance concluded that all outstanding
unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in
undistributed earnings with common shareholders. If awards are considered participating securities,
we are required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. We
have determined that our outstanding unvested shares are participating securities. Effective
January 1, 2009, we adopted this standard. Accordingly, earnings per common share are computed
using the two-class method prescribed by the accounting guidance. All previously reported earnings
per common share data has been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the new computation method
(see Note 8).
Variable Interest Entity
In June 2009, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance for consolidation. Accordingly,
new accounting standards concerning the treatment of variable interest entities were issued.
This guidance addresses the effects on certain provisions of consolidation of variable interest
entities as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept. This
guidance also addresses the ability to provide timely and useful information about an enterprises
involvement in a variable interest entity. The accounting update is effective for each reporting
entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods
within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.
We are currently reviewing this statement to determine the impact, if any, that it may have on our
financial statements and we will adopt this statement when it becomes effective for us, the
beginning of the first quarter of 2010.
3. ASSET IMPAIRMENTS
Under goodwill accounting rules, we are required to assess goodwill for impairment annually,
or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The analysis
of potential impairment of goodwill employs a two-step process. The first step involves the
estimation of fair value of our reporting units. If step one indicates that impairment of goodwill
potentially exists, the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any.
Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated implied fair value of goodwill is less than its
carrying value.
During the first quarter of 2009, we concluded that there were sufficient indicators to
require us to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis based on a combination of factors
which were in existence at that time, including a significant decline in our market capitalization,
as well as the recessionary economic environment and its then estimated potential impact on our
business. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of approximately $69,498,
representing our best estimate of the impairment loss incurred within three of the four reporting
units within our Distribution segment: Electrical distribution, Wire and Cable distribution and
Industrial distribution. At the March 31, 2009 test date, no indication of impairment under the
goodwill impairment tests existed relative to our Retail distribution reporting unit, and we did
not have any goodwill recorded within our Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) segment. For the
purposes of the goodwill impairment analysis, our estimates of fair value were based primarily on
estimates generated using the income approach, which estimates the fair value of our reporting
units based on their projected future discounted cash flows. We finalized our goodwill impairment
testing as of March 31, 2009 during the second quarter of 2009, and in connection therewith
determined that no further adjustment to the $69,498 impairment charge was necessary.
The goodwill impairment testing process involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates
and judgments, and is subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. Estimating a reporting
units projected cash flows involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments
with respect to numerous factors, including future sales, gross profit, selling, engineering,
general and administrative expense rates, capital expenditures, and cash flows. These estimates are
based on our business plans and forecasts. These estimates are then discounted, which necessitates
the selection of an appropriate discount rate. The discount rates used reflect market-based
estimates of the risks associated with the projected cash flows of the reporting unit. The
allocation of the estimated fair value of our reporting units to the estimated fair value of their
net assets required under the second step of the goodwill impairment test also involves the use of
significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, which are based on the best information available
to management as of the date of the assessment.
The use of different assumptions, estimates or judgments in either step of the goodwill
impairment testing process, such as the estimated future cash flows of our reporting units, the
discount rate used to discount such cash flows, or the estimated fair value of the
7
Table of Contents
reporting units tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, could significantly increase
or decrease the estimated fair value of a reporting unit or its net assets, and therefore, impact
the related impairment charge. For example, as of March 31, 2009, (1) a 5% increase or decrease in
the aggregate estimated undiscounted cash flows of our reporting units (without any change in the
discount rate used in the first step of our goodwill impairment test as of such date) would have
resulted in an increase or decrease of approximately $14,000 in the aggregate estimated fair value
of our reporting units as of such date, (2) a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the discount
rate used to discount the aggregate estimated cash flows of our reporting units to their net
present value (without any change in the aggregate estimated cash flows of our reporting units used
in the first step of our goodwill impairment test as of such date) would have resulted in a
decrease or increase of approximately $18,000 in the aggregate estimated fair value of our
reporting units as of such date, and (3) a 1% increase or decrease in the estimated sales growth
rate without a change in the discount rate of each reporting unit would have resulted in an
increase or decrease of approximately $7,000 in the aggregate estimated fair value of our reporting
units as of such date. The goodwill impairment testing process is complex, and can be affected by
the inter-relationship between certain assumptions, estimates and judgments that may apply to both
the first and second steps of the process and the fact that the maximum potential impairment of the
goodwill of any reporting unit is limited to the carrying value of the goodwill of that reporting
unit. Accordingly, the above-described sensitivities around changes in the aggregate estimated fair
values of our reporting units would not necessarily have a dollar-for-dollar impact on the amount
of goodwill impairment we recognized as a result of our analysis. These sensitivities are presented
solely to illustrate the effects that a hypothetical change in one or more key variables affecting
reporting unit fair value might have on the outcomes produced by the goodwill impairment testing
process.
The $300 asset impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of 2009 was for a property
currently being marketed for sale. The resulting adjusted carrying value represents our estimate
of the propertys fair value determined by management after considering the best information
available and the companys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in
valuing the asset.
4. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
We incurred restructuring charges of $1,692 and $4,049 during the third quarter and first nine
months of 2009, respectively. For the third quarter of 2009, these charges included $674 recorded
in connection with our closure of our East Longmeadow, Massachusetts manufacturing facility in May
2009, pursuant to a plan we announced in March 2009. The third quarter of 2009 also included
charges of $242 recorded in connection with our closure of our owned Oswego, New York facility in
September 2009, pursuant to a plan we announced in the second quarter of 2009. These actions were
taken in order to align our manufacturing capacity and cost structure with reduced volume levels
resulting from the current economic environment. Production from these facilities has been
transitioned to facilities in Lafayette and Bremen, Indiana, with back up capacity to be provided
by our Waukegan, Illinois and Texarkana, Arkansas facilities. The $674 recorded in connection with
the East Longmeadow closure primarily included charges for equipment and other closing costs. The
remaining charges for the first nine months of 2009 primarily consisted of holding costs related to
other facilities closed in 2008. We incurred restructuring charges of $2,504 and $5,515 during the
third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively, primarily in connection with the
integration of our 2007 Acquisitions.
The $4,375 liability as of September 30, 2009 primarily relates to lease liabilities
associated with facilities closed during 2008 in connection with the integration of our 2007
Acquisitions. Our reserve for lease termination costs represents our estimate of the liability
existing relative to closed properties under lease and is equal to our remaining obligation under
such leases reduced by estimated sublease rental income reasonably expected for the properties.
Accordingly, the liability may be increased or decreased in future periods as facts and
circumstances change, including possible negotiation of one or more lease terminations, sublease
agreements, or changes in the related markets in which the properties are located. In addition to
these and other holding costs that may be incurred in future periods relative to our closed
facilities, we expect to incur an additional $250 in restructuring expense in the
fourth quarter relative to the closure of our Oswego facility.

9.875% Senior Notes and Repurchases
At September 30, 2009, we had $224,980 in aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 9.875%
senior notes, all of which mature on October 1, 2012 (the Senior Notes). During the third quarter
of 2009, we repurchased $2,200 in par value of our Senior Notes at a discount to their par value
resulting in a pre-tax gain of $385 being recorded in connection with such repurchases. As further
explained below, in order to complete these repurchase transactions, we were required to enter into
an amendment to our Revolving Credit Facility (defined below). We may purchase additional Senior
Notes in the future but whether we do so will depend on a number of factors and there can be no
assurance that we will purchase any additional amounts of our Senior Notes.
A portion of our Senior Notes were issued at a premium in 2007, resulting in proceeds in
excess of par value. This premium, adjusted for the above-noted subsequent repurchases, is being
amortized to par value over the remaining life of the Senior Notes.
Revolving Credit Facility
Our five-year revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) is a senior secured
facility that provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $200,000, subject to certain limitations
as discussed below. The proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility are available for working
capital and other general corporate purposes, including merger and acquisition activity. At
September 30, 2009, we had borrowings of $5,850 outstanding under the facility, with $84,730 in
remaining excess availability.
On June 18, 2009, in connection with the above-described Senior Notes repurchases, the
Revolving Credit Facility was amended to permit us to spend up to $30,000 to redeem, retire or
repurchase our Senior Notes so long as (i) no default or event of default exists at the time of the
repurchase or would result from the repurchase and (ii) excess availability under the Revolving
Credit Facility after giving effect to the repurchase remains above $40,000. Prior to this
amendment, we were prohibited from making prepayments on or repurchases of the Senior Notes. The
amendment required us to pay an upfront amendment fee of $1,000, and also increased the applicable
interest rate margins by 1.25% and the unused line fee by 0.25%. Accordingly, subsequent to the
amendment interest is payable, at our option, at the agents prime rate plus a range of 1.25% to
1.75% or the Eurodollar rate plus a range of 2.50% to 3.00%, in each case based on quarterly
average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a minimum
of $10,000 in excess availability under the facility at all times. Borrowing availability under the
Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (i) $200,000 or (ii) the sum of 85% of
eligible accounts receivable, 55% of eligible inventory and an advance rate to be determined of
certain appraised fixed assets, with a $10,000 sublimit for letters of credit.
The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by our domestic subsidiary and is secured by
substantially all of our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiary, including accounts
receivable, inventory and any other tangible and intangible assets (including real estate,
machinery and equipment and intellectual property) as well as by a pledge of all the capital stock
of our domestic subsidiary and 65% of the capital stock of our Canadian foreign subsidiary, but not
our Chinese 100%-owned entity.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial and other covenants that limit or restrict
our ability to pay dividends or distributions, incur indebtedness, permit liens on property, make
investments, provide guarantees, enter into mergers, acquisitions or consolidations, conduct asset
sales, enter into leases or sale and lease back transactions, and enter into transactions with
affiliates. In addition to maintaining a minimum of $10,000 in excess availability under the
facility at all times, the financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility require us to
maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 for any month during which our
excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below $30,000. We maintained greater
than $30,000 of monthly excess availability during the third quarter of 2009.

Table of Contents
In 2007, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to allow for our acquisition of certain
assets of Woods Industries, Inc. and the stock of Woods Industries (Canada) Inc. (Woods Canada).
The amendment also permitted us to make future investments in our Canadian subsidiaries in an
aggregate amount, together with the investment made to acquire Woods Canada, not to exceed $25,000.
Our Indenture governing the Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants that
limit our ability to pay dividends. As of September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all of the
covenants on our Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility.
The fair value of our debt and capitalized lease obligations was approximately $225,000 at
September 30, 2009, with the fair value of our Senior Notes based on sales prices of recent trading
activity.
8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
We compute earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation
formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Our
participating securities are our grants of restricted stock, as such awards contain non-forfeitable
rights to dividends. Security holders are not obligated to fund the Companys losses, and therefore
participating securities are not allocated a portion of these losses in periods where a net loss is
recorded. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, the impact of participating securities on net income
allocated to common shareholders and the dilutive effect of share-based awards outstanding on
weighted average shares outstanding was as follows:

Options with respect to 1,301 common shares were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 because they were
antidilutive. Options with respect to 824 and 825 common shares were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008
because they were antidilutive.
9. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan for its directors, executives and certain key
employees under which the grant of stock options and other share-based awards is authorized. Of the
total 2,440 shares authorized for issuance under the Companys stock-based incentive plan, 1,706
awards were issued as of September 30, 2009, with the remaining 734 shares available for future
grant over the balance of the plans ten-year life, which ends in 2016. We recorded $684 and $1,895
in stock compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively,
compared to $693 and $2,015 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
Stock Options
In February 2009, 290 options with an exercise price equal to the value of a common share at
the date of grant, or $3.99 per share, were granted to executives and other key employees. The
options become exercisable over a three-year annual vesting period in three equal installments
beginning one year from the date of grant, and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model, we estimated the February 2, 2009 grant date fair value of each
option to be $2.59, using an estimated 0% dividend yield, an expected term of six years, expected
volatility of 83% and a risk-free rate of 1.96%.
Changes in stock options were as follows:

Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market
value of the Companys common stock and the exercise price of the stock option. When the current
market value is less than the exercise price, there is no aggregate intrinsic value.
Stock Awards
In February 2009, the Company awarded unvested common shares to the members of its board of
directors and certain executive officers. In total, 326 unvested shares were awarded with an
approximate aggregate fair value of $1,300. One-third of the shares vest on the first, second and
third anniversary of the grant date. These awarded shares are participating securities which
provide the recipient with both voting rights and, to the extent dividends, if any, are paid by the
Company, non-forfeitable dividend rights with respect to such shares.
Changes in nonvested shares were as follows:

income were net of tax provisions of $63 and $304, respectively, related to the change in fair
value of derivatives, and a provision of $10 and $14, respectively, for unrealized foreign currency
losses.
10. RELATED PARTIES
We lease our corporate office facility from HQ2 Properties, LLC (HQ2). HQ2 is owned by
certain members of our Board of Directors and executive management. We made rental payments of $98
and $95 to HQ2 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We made rental
payments of $290 and $282 to HQ2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. In addition, we lease three manufacturing facilities and three vehicles from DJR
Ventures, LLC (DJR) in which one of our executive officers has a minority interest. We made
rental payments of $232 and $346 to DJR for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We made rental payments of $836 and $928 to DJR for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases
We lease certain of our buildings, machinery and equipment under lease agreements that expire
at various dates over the next ten years. Rental expense under operating leases was $1,352 and
$4,473 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, and was $1,736 and
$5,715 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
Legal Matters
We are party to one environmental claim. The Leonard Chemical Company Superfund site consists
of approximately 7.1 acres of land in an industrial area located a half mile east of Catawba, York
County, South Carolina. The Leonard Chemical Company operated this site until the early 1980s for
recycling of waste solvents. These operations resulted in the contamination of soils and
groundwaters at the site with hazardous substances. In 1984, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (the EPA) listed this site on the National Priorities List. Riblet Products Corporation,
with which the Company merged in 2000, was identified through documents as a company that sent
solvents to the site for recycling and was one of the companies receiving a special notice letter
from the EPA identifying it as a party potentially liable under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act for cleanup of the site.
In 2004, along with other potentially responsible parties (PRPs), we entered into a
Consent Decree with the EPA requiring the performance of a remedial design and remedial action
(RD/RA) for this site. We have entered into a Site Participation Agreement with the other PRPs
for fulfillment of the requirements of the Consent Decree. Under the Site Participation Agreement,
we are responsible for 9.19% of the costs for the RD/RA. As of September 30, 2009, we had a $400
accrual recorded for this liability.
We believe that our accruals related to the environmental litigation and other claims are
sufficient and that these items and our rights to available insurance and indemnity will be
resolved without material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and
liquidity, individually or in the aggregate. We cannot, however, provide assurance that this will
be the case.
12. DERIVATIVES
We are exposed to certain commodity price risks including fluctuations in the price of copper.
From time-to-time, we enter into copper futures contracts to mitigate the potential impact of
fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. All of our copper
futures contracts are tied to the COMEX copper market index and the value of our futures contracts
varies directly with underlying changes in the related COMEX copper futures prices. We recognize
all of our derivative instruments on our balance sheet at fair value, and record changes in the
fair value of such contracts within cost of goods sold in the statement of operations as they occur
unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For those hedging relationships that meet such
criteria, and for which hedge accounting is applied, we formally document our hedge relationships,
including identifying the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as the risk management
objectives involved. All of our hedges for which hedge accounting is applied qualify and are
designated as cash flow hedges. We assess both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter,
whether the derivatives used in these cash flow hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes
in the cash flows associated with the hedged item. The effective portion of the related gains or
losses on these derivative instruments are recorded in shareholders equity as a component of
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), and are subsequently recognized in income or expense
in the period in which the related hedged items are recognized. The ineffective portion of these
hedges related to an over-hedge (extent to which a change in the value of the derivative contract
does not perfectly offset the change in value of the designated hedged item) is immediately
recognized in income.
At September 30, 2009, we had outstanding copper futures contracts, with an aggregate fair
value of $433, consisting of contracts to sell 675 pounds of copper in December 2009, as well as
contracts to buy 350 pounds of copper in December 2009. These derivatives have been determined to
be Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy.
The following table provides information about the fair value of our derivatives, separating
those accounted for as hedges and those that are not:

As our derivatives are part of a legally enforceable master netting agreement, for purposes of
presentation within our condensed consolidated balance sheets, the above-noted gross values are
netted and classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Accrued liabilities
depending upon our aggregate net position at the balance sheet date. At September 30, 2009, we had
no cash collateral posted relative to our outstanding derivative positions.

We reclassified $127 from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into earnings during
the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009. We expect to reclassify the entire amount
recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) at September 30, 2009 into earnings
during the fourth quarter of 2009. No cash flow hedges were discontinued during the three or nine
month periods ended September 30, 2009 as a result of the hedged forecasted transaction no longer
being probable of occurring. Additionally, no amounts were excluded from our effectiveness tests
relative to these cash flow hedges.

The decline in our effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2009 as compared to the
first nine months of 2008 reflects the $69,498 pre-tax goodwill impairment charge recorded during
the first quarter of 2009. A significant amount of book goodwill did not have a corresponding tax
basis, thereby reducing the associated tax benefit and our effective tax rate for the first nine
months of 2009.
14. OTHER (INCOME) LOSS
We recorded other income of $674 and $1,068 for the three and nine months ended September 30
2009, respectively, primarily reflecting a favorable exchange rate impact on our Canadian
subsidiary.
15. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have two reportable segments: (1) Distribution and (2) Original Equipment Manufacturers
(OEMs). The Distribution segment serves our customers in distribution businesses, who are
resellers of our products, while our OEM segment serves our OEM customers, who generally purchase
more tailored products from us which are used as inputs into subassemblies of manufactured finished
goods.
Financial data for the Companys reportable segments is as follows:

Our operating segments have common production processes and manufacturing facilities.
Accordingly, we do not identify all of our net assets to our segments. Thus, we do not report
capital expenditures at the segment level. Additionally, depreciation expense is not allocated to
our segments but is included in manufacturing overhead cost pools and is absorbed into product cost
(and inventory) as each product passes through our manufacturing work centers. Accordingly, as
products are sold across our segments, it is impracticable to determine the amount of depreciation
expense included in the operating results of each segment.
Segment operating income represents income from continuing operations before interest income
or expense, other income or expense, and income taxes. Corporate consists of items not charged or
allocated to the segments, including costs for employee relocation, discretionary bonuses,
professional fees, restructuring expenses, asset impairments and intangible amortization.
16. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION
Our payment obligations under the Senior Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 7)
are guaranteed by our 100%-owned subsidiary, CCI International, Inc. (Guarantor Subsidiary). Such
guarantees are full and unconditional. The following unaudited supplemental financial information
sets forth, on a combined basis, balance sheets, statements of income and statements of cash flows
for Coleman Cable, Inc. (the Parent) and the Guarantor Subsidiary. The supplemental guarantor
financial information set forth below reflects the Companys current organizational structure including certain
changes made effective in the first quarter of 2009. Accordingly, prior period amounts have been
recast to reflect the Companys current structure.

ITEM 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those
described in this report under Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and under
Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements. You should read
the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto included in this report.
Overview
General
We are a leading designer, developer, manufacturer and supplier of electrical wire and cable
products for consumer, commercial and industrial applications, with operations primarily in the
U.S. and, to a lesser degree, Canada. We manufacture and supply a broad line of wire and cable
products, which enables us to offer our customers a single source of supply for many of their wire
and cable product requirements. We manufacture our products in seven domestic manufacturing
facilities and supplement our domestic production with both international and domestic sourcing. We
sell our products to a variety of customers, including a wide range of specialty distributors,
retailers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Virtually all of our products are sold to
customers located in the U.S. and Canada.
Raw materials, primarily copper, comprise the primary component of our cost of goods sold. As
the price of copper is particularly volatile, price fluctuations can significantly affect of our
sales and profitability. We generally attempt to pass along changes in the price of copper and
other raw materials to our customers. However, this has proven difficult recently given lower
overall demand and excess capacity existing in the wire and cable industry. The average copper
price on the COMEX was $2.67 per pound for the third quarter of 2009, as compared to $3.45 per
pound for the third quarter of 2008.
While our business continues to face recessionary conditions, the demand stabilization we
first noted during the latter part of the second quarter of 2009 continued into the third quarter
of this year, and our sales volumes (measured in total pounds shipped) improved 10.5% during the
third quarter, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. We are encouraged by such signs of demand
stabilization and our quarter-over-quarter volume increase, as well as by the positive impact
generated from our recent cost-reduction and capacity adjustments. We remain concerned, however,
with industry pricing given reduced levels of overall demand and excess industry capacity. These
factors, as well as any further increases in the price of copper, which increased to a third
quarter average of $2.67 per pound on the COMEX compared to an average of $2.15 per pound for the
second quarter of 2009, will likely continue to present challenges to our financial performance and
operating cash flows in the near term. Additionally, we believe our sales volumes for the
remainder of 2009, as compared to 2008 levels, will continue to be negatively impacted by the
combined impact of difficult macro-economic conditions and our downsizing of our OEM
segment. We continue to manage our business with caution in view of existing recessionary factors.
Our ability to timely and effectively match our plant capacity to forecasted demand will continue
to be a key determinant in our profitability in coming quarters. In this regard, as was the case in
the fourth quarter of 2008, we expect certain temporary seasonal and holiday-related plant
shutdowns to occur during the fourth quarter of 2009, which may negatively impact our absorption of
overhead and thus our profitability. The magnitude of such temporary plant shutdowns will be
contingent upon fourth quarter 2009 demand levels. Management is continually adjusting plans and
production schedules in light of sales trends, the macro-economic environment and other demand
indicators, and the possibility exists that we may determine further plant shutdowns or closings,
restructurings and workforce reductions are necessary, some of which may be significant. In this
regard, we closed our manufacturing facility in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts in the second
quarter of this year and our Oswego, New York facility in the third quarter of 2009, as further
discussed in the Consolidated Results of Operations section that follows.
We made two acquisitions during 2007 (the 2007 Acquisitions). On April 2, 2007, we acquired
100% of the outstanding equity interests of Copperfield, LLC for $215.4 million and on November 30,
2007 we acquired certain assets of Woods Industries, Inc. and all of the common stock of Woods
Industries (Canada) Inc. from Katy Industries, Inc. for $53.8 million.

In addition to GAAP earnings, we also use earnings from continuing operations before net
interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (EBITDA) as a means to evaluate the
liquidity and performance of our business, including the preparation of annual operating budgets
and the determination of levels of operating and capital investments. In particular, we believe
EBITDA allows us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify
strategies to improve operating performance. For example, we believe the inclusion of items such as
taxes, interest expense and intangible asset amortization can make it more difficult to identify
and assess operating trends affecting our business and industry. We also believe EBITDA is a
performance measure that provides investors, securities analysts and other interested parties a
measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, business
acquisitions, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable
companies in our industry. However, EBITDAs usefulness as a performance measure is limited by the
fact that it excludes the impact of interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and
taxes. We borrow money in order to finance our operations; therefore, interest expense is a
necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Similarly, our use of capital
assets makes depreciation and amortization expense a necessary element of our costs and ability to
generate income. Since we are subject to state and federal income taxes, any measure that excludes
tax expense has material limitations. Due to these limitations, we do not, and you should not, use
EBITDA as the only measure of our performance and liquidity. We also use, and recommend that you
consider, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance or cash flows from
operating activities in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our liquidity. Finally, other
companies may define EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of EBITDA may not be directly
comparable to EBITDA of other companies.
Note that depreciation and amortization shown in the schedule above excludes amortization of
debt issuance costs, which is included in interest expense.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2008
Net sales Net sales for the quarter were $133.8 million compared to $270.7 million for the
third quarter of 2008, a decrease of $136.9 million or 50.6%. The decline reflected decreased
volumes and lower average copper prices during the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the same
quarter last year. For the quarter, our total sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped)
decreased 41.3% in 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008. As has been the case throughout the
first nine months of 2009, our 2009 third quarter sales results compared to the third quarter of
2008 reflected the impact of recessionary market factors and lower overall demand levels. In
addition to the impact of volume declines, a lower average daily selling price of copper cathode on
the COMEX, which averaged $2.67 per pound during the third quarter of 2009, as compared to an
average of $3.45 per pound for the third quarter of 2008, also negatively impacted net sales for
the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the same quarter last year. While overall volumes for
the third quarter declined from volume levels recorded during the third quarter of last year, we
did note volume trends improved somewhat during the third quarter of 2009, as compared to earlier
periods in 2009. Our third quarter sales volume increased 10.5% compared to the second quarter of
2009, reflecting in part a seasonal increase, as well as overall increased demand levels within our
Distribution segment. As discussed further below, our sales declines in 2009 also reflected reduced
OEM sales levels which resulted from our customer-rationalization efforts within this segment.
Gross profit We generated $20.3 million in total gross profit for the quarter, as compared
to $29.9 million in the third quarter of 2008, a decline of $9.6 million, or 32.1%. The decline
primarily reflects the impact of the above-noted volume declines, with lower gross profit being
recorded for the quarter in our Distribution segment, partially offset by increased OEM gross
profit as compared to the same quarter last year. Our gross profit as a percentage of net sales
(gross profit margin) for the quarter was 15.2% compared to 11.0% for the third quarter of 2008.
Gross profit margins improved within both our Distribution and OEM segments, with significant
improvement in our OEM segment gross profit margin. In part, our OEM gross profit margin
improvement reflects the positive margin impact of our having reduced sales levels in this segment
in late 2008 in areas where we had failed to secure adequate pricing for our products. This was
done in order to improve the overall gross profit margin and profitability of the OEM segment. The
improvement also reflected, in part, the favorable impact of recent cost reductions and
capacity adjustments which resulted in lower levels of unfavorable plant labor and overhead
variances being generated during the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the third quarter of
2008, as well as the first two quarters of 2009. Our gross margin for the third quarter of 2009
was also favorably impacted by a relatively rapid increase in copper prices during the quarter
which temporarily expanded gross margin as we turned our inventory. Additionally, our gross profit
margin for the third quarter of 2009 improved compared to the same quarter of 2008 given the fact
that a significant portion of our business involves the production and sale of products which are
priced to earn a fixed dollar margin, which causes our gross profit margin to compress in higher
copper price environments, as was the case in the third quarter of 2008.
Selling, engineering, general and administrative (SEG&A) expense We incurred total SEG&A
expense of $9.9 million for the third quarter of 2009, as compared to $14.2 million for the third
quarter of 2008, a decrease of $4.3 million. SEG&A expense for the third quarter of 2008 included a
non-cash charge of $1.6 million for an allowance established during the third quarter of 2008 for
an insurance claim we filed in connection with thefts which occurred in 2005 at a since-closed
manufacturing facility. We commenced legal action with regard to this matter during the third quarter of 2008 and the matter
remains in litigation. The remaining $2.7 million decrease in SEG&A expense in the third quarter of
2009, as compared to the third quarter of 2008, was due in part to $1.0 million in lower
24
Table of Contents
commissions
given lower overall sales levels, as well as the favorable impact of
our resolving
certain customer-related collection and other matters, which
collectively accounted for an additional $1.0
million of the $2.7 million decrease. The remaining
$0.7 million decrease reflected lower costs across a
number of general and administrative expense areas. Our SEG&A as a percentage of total net sales
increased to 7.4% for the third quarter of 2009, as compared to 4.7% (excluding the impact of the
above-described $1.6 million insurance-related allowance) for the third quarter of 2008. The
increased SEG&A rate reflects the impact of lower expense leverage as our fixed costs were spread
over a lower net sales base.
Asset impairments The $0.3 million asset impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of
2009 was for a property currently being marketed for sale. The resulting adjusted carrying value
represents our estimate of the propertys fair value determined by management after considering the
best information available and the companys own assumptions about the assumptions market
participants would use in valuing the asset.
Intangible amortization expense Intangible amortization expense for the third quarter of
2009 was $2.1 million as compared to $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2008, with the expense
in both periods arising from the amortization of intangible assets recorded in relation to our 2007
Acquisitions. These intangible assets are amortized using an accelerated amortization method which
reflects our estimate of the pattern in which the economic benefit derived from such assets is to
be consumed. Amortization for the third quarter of 2009 was lower
than for the third quarter of 2008 as
a result of lower amortization expense brought about by an impairment charge we recorded during the
fourth quarter of 2008 against our then-existing balance in intangible assets and the impact of the
aforementioned accelerated amortization methodology.
Restructuring
charges Restructuring charges for the three months ended September 30, 2009
were $1.7 million, as compared to $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2008. For the third quarter
of 2009, these expenses included $0.9 million recorded in connection with
the closure of our East Longmeadow, Massachusetts manufacturing facility in May 2009 and our
Oswego, New York facility during the third quarter of 2009, including
$0.4 million in non-cash equipment costs.
These actions were taken in order to align our manufacturing capacity and cost structure with
reduced volume levels resulting from the current economic environment. Production from these
facilities has been transitioned to facilities in Bremen, Indiana, with back up capacity to be
provided by our Waukegan, Illinois and Texarkana, Arkansas
facilities. The remaining $0.8 million of restructuring charges primarily consisted of lease and other
holding costs related to facilities closed in 2008 and 2009. For the third quarter of
2008, restructuring charges primarily reflected costs incurred in connection with the integration
of our 2007 Acquisitions.
Interest expense We incurred $6.2 million in interest expense for the third quarter of
2009, as compared to $7.2 million for the third quarter of 2008. The decrease in interest expense
was due primarily to lower average outstanding borrowings in the third quarter of 2009 as compared
to the same quarter last year.
Gain on Senior Notes repurchases We recorded a $0.4 million gain in the third quarter of
2009 resulting from our repurchase of $2.2 million in par value of our Senior Notes.
Other (income) loss We
recorded other income of $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2009
reflecting the favorable impact of exchange rate changes on our Canadian subsidiary.
Income tax
expense We recorded income tax expense of
$0.4 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared
to $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2008, with the decline reflecting lower
pre-tax income in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the third quarter of 2008.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008
Net sales Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $364.0 million
compared to $790.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $426.8
million or 54.0%. The decline reflected decreased volumes and lower average copper prices during
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the first nine months of 2008. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, our total sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped)
decreased 41.1% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008, with a significant
contraction in demand across our business in the face of recessionary conditions throughout 2009.
In addition to volume declines, a lower average daily selling price of copper cathode on the COMEX,
which averaged $2.13 per pound during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to an
average of $3.59 per pound for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, also negatively impacted
net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the first nine months of
2008. If current volume stabilization trends continue, we would
expect that, while our volumes
for the fourth quarter of 2009 will continue to be significantly lower than 2008 levels, the
magnitude of such year-over-year
25
Table of Contents
declines
will moderate in the fourth quarter of 2009 when compared to the year-over-year
declines noted during the first nine months of 2009.
Gross profit We
generated $53.9 million in total gross profit for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, as compared to $87.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a
decline of $33.1 million, or 38.0%. The decline primarily reflects the impact of the above-noted
volume declines, with lower gross profit being recorded in both our
Distribution and OEM segments for the nine months ended September 30,
2009, as compared to the same time period last year. Our
gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was 14.8% compared to 11.0% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Gross profit margins improved within both our
Distribution and OEM segments, with significant improvement within our OEM segment as noted above
in the discussion of third quarter results. In addition, as discussed above, our gross profit
improved during the third quarter of 2009 relative to earlier quarters in 2009, as a result of the
favorable impact of recent cost reductions and capacity adjustments.
Selling, engineering, general and administrative (SEG&A) expense We incurred total SEG&A
expense of $30.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $40.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. As noted above, our SEG&A expense for the first nine
months of 2008 included a $1.6 million non-cash charge recorded during 2008 relative to an
insurance recoverable receivable for a 2005 inventory theft. The remaining $8.5 million decrease in
SEG&A during the first nine months of 2009, as compared to the same period last year, primarily
reflects the impact of lower payroll-related expense as a result of lower total headcounts and
lower commission expense given lower overall sales levels. These factors accounted for $2.9 million
and $2.4 million of the total decrease, respectively, with the remaining $3.2 million decrease in
part reflecting the favorable impact of resolving certain customer-related collection and other
matters, which collectively accounted for approximately $1.0 million of the total decrease, as well as lower
spending across a number of general and administrative expense areas. Our SEG&A as a percentage of
total net sales increased to 8.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 5.1%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, reflecting the impact of lower expense leverage as
our fixed costs were spread over a lower net sales base.
Intangible amortization expense Intangible amortization expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 was $6.8 million as compared to $8.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2008, with the expense in both periods arising from the amortization of intangible assets
recorded in relation to our 2007 Acquisitions. As noted above, lower amortization expense in 2009
reflects the impact of an impairment charge we recorded during the fourth quarter of 2008 against
our then-existing balance in intangible assets and the accelerated amortization methodology used to
amortize these assets.
Asset impairments For
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a total of
$69.8 million in asset impairments. During the first quarter of 2009, we concluded that there were
sufficient indicators to require us to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis based on a
combination of factors which were in existence at that time, including a significant decline in our
market capitalization, as well as the recessionary economic environment and its then estimated
potential impact on our business. As a result of performing the related impairment test, we
recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $69.5 million, which represented the impact of an
impairment loss incurred within three of the four reporting units within our Distribution segment:
Electrical distribution, Wire and Cable distribution and Industrial distribution. Further goodwill
impairment charges may be recognized in future periods to the extent changes in factors or
circumstances occur, including further deterioration in the macro-economic environment or in the
equity markets, including the market value of our common shares, deterioration in our performance
or our future projections, or changes in our plans for our business. The $0.3 million asset
impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of 2009 was for a property currently being marketed
for sale. The resulting adjusted carrying value represents our estimate of the propertys fair
value determined by management after considering the best information available and the companys
own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the asset.
Restructuring charges Restructuring charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
were $4.0 million, as compared to $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, these expenses were primarily incurred in connection with
severance for headcount reductions and for lease and holding costs incurred relative to those
facilities closed during 2008 and 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, restructuring
charges primarily reflected costs incurred in connection with the integration of our 2007
Acquisitions.
Interest expense We incurred $19.0 million in interest expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, as compared to $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The
decrease in interest expense was due primarily to lower average outstanding borrowings in the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same time period last year.
Gain on Senior Notes repurchases We recorded a $3.3 million gain during the first nine
months of 2009 resulting from our repurchase of $15.0 million in par value of our Senior Notes.
26
Table of Contents
Other
(income) loss We
recorded other income of $1.1 million in the first nine months of
2009 reflecting the favorable impact of exchange rate changes on our Canadian subsidiary.
Income tax expense (benefit) We
recorded an income tax benefit of $8.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, compared to income tax expense of $3.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008. Our effective tax rate for the first
nine months of 2009 was 11% compared to an effective tax rate of 39%
for the same period last year. This decline in our effective tax rate reflects the $69.5 million
pre-tax goodwill impairment charge recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. A
significant amount of the related goodwill did not have a corresponding tax basis, thereby reducing
the associated tax benefit for the pre-tax charge.

Segment operating income represents income from continuing operations before interest income
or expense, other income or expense, and income taxes. Corporate consists of items not charged or
allocated to the segments, including costs for employee relocation, discretionary bonuses,
professional fees, restructuring expenses, asset impairments and intangible amortization. The
Companys segments have common production processes, and manufacturing and distribution capacity.
Accordingly, we do not identify net assets to our segments. Depreciation expense is not allocated
to segments but is included in manufacturing overhead cost pools and is absorbed into product cost
(and inventory) as each product passes through our numerous
manufacturing work centers. Accordingly, as products are sold across our segments, it is impracticable to determine the amount
of depreciation expense included in the operating results of each segment.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2008
Distribution Segment
For the quarter, net sales were $104.9 million, as compared to $188.4 million for the third
quarter of 2008, a decrease of $83.5 million, or 44.3%. As noted above in our discussion of
consolidated results, this decrease was due primarily to a decline in sales volumes reflecting
recessionary economic conditions and copper price declines as compared to the same quarter last
year. For the quarter, our Distribution total sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped)
decreased 33.9% compared to the third quarter of 2008.
Operating income was $10.2 million for the third quarter of 2009, as compared to $19.0 million
for the third quarter of 2008, a decline of $8.8 million, primarily reflecting the above-noted
impact on gross profit of decreased sales volumes in 2009, partially offset by lower SEG&A expense.
Our segment operating income rate was 9.7% for the quarter, as compared to 10.1% for the same
period last year. The decline in the operating income rate was primarily due to lower expense
leverage of SEG&A expenses given the lower sales base for the third quarter of 2009 as compared to
the same quarter last year.
OEM Segment
For the quarter,
OEM net sales were $28.9 million compared to $82.3 million for the third
quarter of 2008, a decrease of $53.4 million, or 64.9%. As noted above in
our discussion of
consolidated results, this decrease was due partly to a decline in sales volumes reflecting
recessionary economic conditions and copper price declines as compared to the same quarter last year. For the quarter, our OEM total sales volume (measured
in total pounds shipped) decreased 55.9% compared to the third quarter of 2008, in part reflecting
decreased demand from existing customers which have been particularly affected by the current
economic environment. In addition, as we have noted in the past, our OEM volumes in 2009 relative
to 2008 levels reflect our decision in late 2008 to reduce sales to customers within this segment
in 2009 as a result of failing to secure adequate pricing for our products from such
customers.
28
Table of Contents
We believe this decision, while significantly reducing the volume done with certain customers
within the segment, was necessary to improve the overall financial performance of the segment.
Operating income was $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2009, as compared to $0.3 million
for the third quarter of 2008, an increase of $2.3 million,
reflecting a significant improvement in our OEM
gross profit margin and lower SEG&A costs which more than offset the impact of the above-noted lower
sales levels in 2009. Our segment operating income rate was 9.0% for the quarter, as compared to
0.3% for the same quarter last year, as we generated increased operating income despite
significantly lower sales levels, in part due to the above-noted customer and cost rationalization
efforts.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008
Distribution Segment
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net sales were $281.8 million, as compared to
$528.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $247.1 million, or
46.7%. As noted above in our discussion of consolidated results, this decrease was due primarily to
a decline in sales volumes and copper prices as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our Distribution segment sales volume (measured
in total pounds shipped) decreased 33.6% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Operating income was $24.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared
to $51.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decline of $27.1 million,
primarily reflecting the above-noted impact on gross profit of decreased sales volumes in 2009,
partially offset by lower SEG&A expense. Our segment operating income rate was 8.8% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 9.8% for the same period last year. The decline in
the operating income rate was primarily due to lower expense leverage of SEG&A expenses given the
lower sales base for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period last
year.
OEM Segment
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net sales were $82.2 million compared to $261.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $179.7 million, or 68.6%. As
noted above in our discussion of consolidated results, this decrease
was due in part to a decline
in sales volumes and copper prices as compared to the same quarter last year. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, our total sales volume (measured in total pounds shipped) decreased 53.7%
compared to the same time period last year. As noted above in the discussion of our third quarter
results within the OEM segment, the decline in volume reflects, in part, decreased demand from
existing customers which have been particularly affected by the current economic environment, as
well as our decision in late 2008 to reduce sales to certain customers within this segment in 2009 as a
result of failing to secure adequate pricing for our products from such customers.
Operating income was $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to
$3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $1.3 million, primarily
reflecting a $2.2 million decline in first quarter operating income, which was more than offset by
increased operating income in both the second and third quarters of 2009. Our segment operating income
rate was 6.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 1.4% for the same time
period last year. Both the increase in operating income and the improvement in operating income
rate during the first nine months of 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, reflected, in
part, the favorable profit impact of the above-noted customer and cost rationalization efforts.

9.875% senior notes, all of which mature on October 1, 2012 (the Senior Notes). During the first
nine months of 2009, we repurchased $15.0 million in par value of our Senior Notes at a discount to
their par value resulting in a pre-tax gain of $3.3 million being recorded in connection with such
repurchases. As further explained below, in order to complete these repurchase transactions, we
were required to enter into an amendment to our Revolving Credit Facility (defined below). We may
purchase additional Senior Notes in the future but whether we do so will depend on a number of
factors and there can be no assurance that we will purchase any additional amounts of our Senior
Notes.
A portion of our Senior Notes were issued at a premium in 2007, resulting in proceeds in
excess of par value. This premium, adjusted for the above-noted subsequent repurchases, is being
amortized to par value over the remaining life of the 2007 Notes.
Revolving Credit Facility
Our five-year revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) is a senior secured
facility that provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $200 million, subject to certain
limitations as discussed below. The proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility are available for
working capital and other general corporate purposes, including merger and acquisition activity. At
September 30, 2009, we had approximately $84.7 million in remaining excess availability under the
Revolving Credit Facility.
On June 18, 2009, in connection with the above-described Senior Notes repurchases, the
Revolving Credit Facility was amended to permit us to spend up to $30 million to redeem, retire or
repurchase our Senior Notes so long as (i) no default or event of default exists at the time of the
repurchase or would result from the repurchase and (ii) excess availability under the Revolving
Credit Facility after giving effect to the repurchase remains above $40 million. Prior to this
amendment, we were prohibited from making prepayments on or repurchases of the Senior Notes. The
amendment required us to pay an upfront amendment fee of $1 million, and also increased the
applicable interest rate margins by 1.25% and the unused line fee
increased by 0.25%. Accordingly,
subsequent to the amendment, interest is payable, at our option, at the agents
prime rate plus a range of 1.25% to 1.75% or the Eurodollar rate plus a range of 2.50% to 3.00%, in
each case based on quarterly average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. We
currently have the capacity under the amended credit agreement to spend approximately an additional
$18.5 million on future Senior Note repurchases.
Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a minimum
of $10 million in excess availability under the facility at all times. Borrowing availability under
the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (i) $200 million or (ii) the sum of 85%
of eligible accounts receivable, 55% of eligible inventory and an advance rate to be determined of certain appraised fixed assets, with a $10
million sublimit for letters of credit.
The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by our domestic subsidiary and is secured by
substantially all of our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiary, including accounts
receivable, inventory and any other tangible and intangible assets (including real
30
Table of Contents
estate, machinery and equipment and intellectual property) as well as by a pledge of all the
capital stock of our domestic subsidiary and 65% of the capital stock of our Canadian foreign
subsidiary, but not our Chinese 100%-owned entity.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial and other covenants that limit or restrict
our ability to pay dividends or distributions, incur indebtedness, permit liens on property, make
investments, provide guarantees, enter into mergers, acquisitions or consolidations, conduct asset
sales, enter into leases or sale and lease back transactions, and enter into transactions with
affiliates. In addition to maintaining a minimum of $10 million in excess availability under the
facility at all times, the financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility require us to
maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 for any month during which our
excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below $30 million. We maintained
greater than $30 million of monthly excess availability during the third quarter of 2009.
In 2007, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to allow for our
acquisition of certain
assets of Woods Industries, Inc. and the stock of Woods Industries (Canada) Inc. (Woods Canada).
The amendment also permitted us to make future investments in our Canadian subsidiaries in an
aggregate amount, together with the investment made to acquire Woods Canada, not to exceed $25
million.
Our Indenture governing the Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants that
limit our ability to pay dividends. As of September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all of the
covenants on our Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility.
Current and Future Liquidity
In general, we require cash for working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayment and
interest. Our working capital requirements tend to increase when we experience significant demand
for products or significant copper price increases. Conversely, when demand declines or copper
prices fall, our working capital requirements generally decline as well. We may be required to
increase our borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility in the future if, among a number of
other potential factors, the price of copper further increases, thereby further increasing our
working capital requirements.
Our management assesses the future cash needs of our business by considering a number of
factors, including: (1) historical earnings and cash flow performance, (2) future working capital
needs, (3) current and projected debt service expenses, (4) planned capital expenditures, and (5)
our ability to borrow additional funds under the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility.
Based on the foregoing,
we believe that our operating cash flows and borrowing capacity under
the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations, debt service and capital
expenditures for the foreseeable future. We had $5.9 million in outstanding borrowings against our
$200.0 million Revolving Credit Facility and had $6.1 million in cash on hand, as well as $84.7
million in excess availability at September 30, 2009. We have no required debt repayments until our
Senior Notes mature in 2012.
If we experience a deficiency in earnings with respect to our fixed charges in the future, we
would need to fund the fixed charges through a combination of cash flows from operations and
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. If cash flows generated from our operations,
together with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, are not sufficient to fund our
operations, debt service and capital expenditures and we need to seek additional sources of
capital, the limitations on our ability to incur debt contained in the Revolving Credit Facility
and the Indenture relating to our Senior Notes could prevent us from securing additional capital
through the issuance of debt. In that case, we would need to secure additional capital through
other means, such as the issuance of equity. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional
debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we were not able to secure
additional capital, we could be required to delay or forego capital spending or other corporate
initiatives, such as the development of products, or acquisition opportunities.
Net cash provided by operating
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was
$29.4 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $42.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $13.0 million. The primary factor contributing to
the decline in cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2009, compared to the same period of 2008, was a
decline in operating income. Excluding impairment charges, operating
income declined $19.5 million
during the first nine months of 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. Changes in working
capital items did not have an overall significant net impact on operating cash flows generated for
the first nine months of 2009, as compared to operating cash flows generated for the same period
last year. We did, however, record a $28.6 million increase in net cash provided by accounts
receivable in 2009, as compared to the same period last year. This increase primarily reflected
lower outstanding receivables relative to seasonal business within our Distribution segment as
compared to the same time last year given lower overall demand levels in 2009. This favorable cash
flow impact was largely offset, however, by a $29.7 million decline in cash provided from
inventories (net of payables)
31
Table of Contents
as a function of the unfavorable impact on our working capital from significantly higher
average copper prices prevalent during the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the end of 2008,
partially offset by lower inventory units on hand reflecting a decline in demand levels.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $2.7
million due primarily to capital expenditures.
Net cash used by financing activities for nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $37.2
million due to $24.2 million in net repayments made under our Revolving Credit Facility during the
first nine months of 2009, and $11.5 million used to repurchase a portion of our Senior Notes and
amend our Revolving Credit Facility.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Disclosures about Derivatives Instruments
In March 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on disclosures about derivative
instruments and hedging activities. The new guidance expands the disclosure requirements for
derivative instruments and hedging activities. This Statement specifically requires entities to
provide enhanced disclosures addressing the following: how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. We adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of 2009. The
required disclosures have been set forth in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Subsequent Events
In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on subsequent events. The guidance requires the
disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for
that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or
were available to be issued. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements. The company adopted the new guidance for the second quarter of 2009. For the
third quarter of 2009, we evaluated subsequent events through November 5, 2009, the date the
condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on interim disclosures about the fair value of
financial instruments. The new guidance requires disclosures about the fair value of financial
instruments in interim and annual financial statements, effective for periods ending after June 15,
2009. We adopted the new guidance on the effective date. In August 2009, the FASB issued an accounting
update on fair value measurements and
disclosures that provides additional guidance clarifying the measurement of liabilities at
fair value. The update clarifies how the price of a traded debt security should be considered in
estimating the fair value of the issuers liability. This update is effective for the first
reporting period beginning after its issuance. We are currently reviewing this update to determine
the impact, if any, that it may have on our financial statements. Refer to Note 7 for additional
information regarding our fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities.
Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets
In December 2008, the FASB issued guidance on employers disclosure about postretirement
benefit plan assets. The accounting guidance provides additional guidance on employers
disclosures about the plan assets of defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The
guidance requires disclosures about how investment allocation decisions are made, the fair value of
each major category of plan assets, valuation techniques used to develop fair value measurements of
plan assets, the impact of measurements on changes in plan assets when using significant
unobservable inputs and significant concentrations of risk in the plan assets. We are currently
assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statement disclosures. These disclosures are
required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The company is currently assessing the
impact of the new guidance on our financial statement disclosures.
Participating Securities
In June 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on determining whether instruments
granted in share based payment transactions are participating securities. This accounting guidance
addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating
securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the allocation in computing
earnings per share under the two-class method. The guidance concluded that all outstanding
unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in
undistributed earnings with common shareholders. If awards are considered participating securities,
we are required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. We
have determined that our outstanding unvested shares are participating securities. Effective
January 1, 2009, we adopted this standard. Accordingly, earnings per common share are computed
using the two-class method prescribed by the accounting guidance. All previously reported earnings
per common share data has been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the new computation method
(see Note 8).
Variable Interest Entity
In June 2009, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance for consolidation. Accordingly,
new accounting standards concerning the treatment of variable interest entities were issued.
This guidance addresses the effects on certain provisions of consolidation of variable interest
entities as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept. This
guidance also addresses the ability to provide timely and useful information about an enterprises
involvement in a variable interest entity. The
33
Table of Contents
accounting update is effective for each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that
begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and
for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. We are currently reviewing this statement to
determine the impact, if any, that it may have on our financial statements and we will adopt this
statement when it becomes effective for us, the beginning of the first quarter of 2010.
There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the third quarter
of 2009.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Various statements contained in this report, including those that express a belief,
expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are
forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as anticipate, believe, continue, could, estimate, expect, intend,
may, might, plan, potential, predict, should, or the negative thereof or other
variations thereon or comparable terminology. In particular, statements about our expectations,
beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance contained in this report,
including certain statements contained in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, are forward-looking statements.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions,
estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and
projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known
and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These and other
important factors, including those discussed under Item 1A. Risk Factors, and elsewhere in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (available at
www.sec.gov) , may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ
materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements.
Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations
include:
| fluctuations in the supply or price of copper and other raw materials; | ||
| increased competition from other wire and cable manufacturers, including foreign manufacturers; | ||
| pricing pressures causing margins to decrease; | ||
| further adverse changes in general economic conditions and capital market conditions; | ||
| changes in the demand for our products by key customers; | ||
| additional impairment charges related to our goodwill and long-lived assets; | ||
| failure of customers to make expected purchases, including customers of acquired companies; | ||
| changes in the cost of labor or raw materials, including PVC and fuel costs; | ||
| failure to identify, finance or integrate acquisitions; | ||
| failure to accomplish integration activities on a timely basis; | ||
| failure to achieve expected efficiencies in our manufacturing and integration consolidations; | ||
| unforeseen developments or expenses with respect to our acquisition, integration and consolidation efforts; and | ||
| other risks and uncertainties, including those described under Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. |
In addition, any forward-looking statements represent our views only as of today and should
not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to
update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically
34
Table of Contents
disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our estimates change and, therefore, you should not
rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to
today.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008,
our principal market risks are exposure to changes in commodity prices, primarily copper prices,
and exchange rate risk relative to our operations in Canada. As of September 30, 2009, we had a
total of $5.9 million of variable-rate borrowings outstanding which, at such a level, exposed us to
a only a limited amount of interest rate risk due to variable-rate debt.
Commodity Risk. Certain raw materials used in our products are subject to price volatility,
most notably copper, which is the primary raw material used in our products. The price of copper is
particularly volatile and can affect our net sales and profitability. We purchase copper at
prevailing market prices and, through multiple pricing strategies, generally attempt to pass along
to our customers changes in the price of copper and other raw materials. From time-to-time, we
enter into derivative contracts, including copper futures contracts, to mitigate the potential
impact of fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. We do
not speculate on copper prices. All of our copper futures contracts are tied to the COMEX copper
market index and the value of our futures contracts varies directly with underlying changes in the
related COMEX copper futures prices. We record these derivative contracts at fair value on our
consolidated balance sheet as either an asset or liability. At September 30, 2009, we had contracts
with an aggregate fair value of $0.4 million, consisting of contracts to sell 675,000 pounds of
copper in September 2009 and contracts to buy 350,000 pounds of copper in December of 2009. A
hypothetical adverse movement of 10% in the price of copper at September 30, 2009, with all other
variables held constant, would have resulted in a loss in the fair value of our commodity futures
contracts of approximately $0.3 million as of September 30, 2009.
Interest Rate Risk. As of September 30, 2009, we have $5.9 million in variable-rate debt
outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility for which interest costs are based on either the
lenders prime rate or LIBOR. Our annual interest expense would increase approximately $0.1
million if interest rates increased by 100 basis points, assuming constant borrowings and an
immediate increase in variable rates.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. We have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange
rates related to our Canadian operations. Currently, we do not manage our foreign currency exchange
rate risk using any financial or derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts
or hedging activities. The strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar had a
positive impact on our Canadian results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009. We
recorded aggregate pre-tax gains of approximately $0.7 and $1.1 million related to exchange rate
fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2009, respectively.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of September 30, 2009. Based on that evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective.
We have just finished the system integration related to the operations of Copperfield to a
common platform. The primary objectives of the system integration are to establish a common set of
processes and systems for all Company manufacturing facilities. The integration was most focused
on inventory and production reporting with less significant impact to accounts payable, fixed asset
and general ledger processes. The system integration was completed in the third quarter of 2009.
The integration has not materially impacted changes to internal processes or internal controls over
financial reporting. Risk associated with total integration is further explained in our Annual
Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business. In those cases in which we are the defendant, plaintiffs may seek to recover large and
sometimes unspecified amounts or other types of relief and some matters may remain unresolved for
several years. We believe that none of the litigation that we now face, individually or in the
aggregate, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flow or results
of operations. We maintain insurance coverage for litigation that arises in the ordinary course of
our business and believe such coverage is adequate.
