DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Group Directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2009

The directors present their report and audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2009.

Principal Activities

Ingersoll-Rand plc (IR-Ireland or the Company), an Irish public limited company, and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Group) are a diversified, global company that provides products, services and solutions to enhance the quality and comfort of air in homes and buildings, transport and protect food and perishables, secure homes and commercial properties, and enhance industrial productivity and efficiency. Our business segments consist of Climate Solutions, Residential Solutions, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies, each with strong brands and leading positions within their respective markets. We generate revenue and cash primarily through the design, manufacture, sale and service of a diverse portfolio of industrial and commercial products that include well-recognized, premium brand names such as Club Car®, Hussmann®, Ingersoll-Rand®, Schlage®, Thermo King® and Trane®.

We are dedicated to inspiring progress for our customers, shareholders, employees and communities by achieving:

 

   

Dramatic Growth, by focusing on innovative solutions for our customers;

 

   

Operational Excellence, by pursuing continuous improvement in all of our operations; and

 

   

Dual Citizenship, by bringing together the talents of all Ingersoll Rand people to leverage the capabilities of our global enterprise.

To achieve these goals and to become a more diversified company with strong growth prospects, we transformed our enterprise portfolio by divesting cyclical, low-growth and asset-intensive businesses. In addition, our acquisition strategy has helped deliver more consistent revenue and earnings performance across all phases of the economic cycle. Aside from our portfolio transformation, we continue to focus on increasing our recurring revenue stream, which includes revenues from parts, service, used equipment and rentals. We also intend to continuously improve the efficiencies, capabilities, products and services of our high-potential businesses.

On 1 July 2009, Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (IR-Limited), a Bermuda company, completed a reorganization to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the parent company of Ingersoll Rand from Bermuda to Ireland. As a result, IR-Ireland replaced IR-Limited as the ultimate parent company effective 1 July 2009. All references related to the Company prior to 1 July 2009 relate to IR-Limited.

Review of Business

Ireland Reorganization

On 5 March 2009, our board of directors approved a reorganization of the Group that would change the jurisdiction of incorporation of our parent company from Bermuda to Ireland (the Ireland Reorganization). The first step in the Ireland Reorganization was the establishment of IR-Limited’s tax residency in Ireland, which occurred in March 2009. Subsequently, IR-Ireland replaced IR-Limited as the ultimate parent company pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under Bermuda law (the Scheme of Arrangement). Major milestones to complete the Scheme of Arrangement were as follows:

 

   

On 1 April 2009, IR-Limited formed IR-Ireland as a direct subsidiary.

 

   

On 20 April 2009, IR-Limited petitioned the Supreme Court of Bermuda to order the calling of a meeting of the Class A common shareholders of IR-Limited to approve the Scheme of Arrangement.

 

   

On 23 April 2009, the Supreme Court of Bermuda ordered IR-Limited to seek the approval of its Class A common shareholders on the Scheme of Arrangement.

 

   

On 3 June 2009, IR-Limited received the requisite approval from its Class A common shareholders.

 

   

On 11 June 2009, the Supreme Court of Bermuda issued an order (the Sanction Order) approving the Scheme of Arrangement.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

 

On 30 June 2009, IR-Limited filed the Sanction Order with the Bermuda Registrar of Companies and, at 12:01 a.m. on 1 July 2009 (the Transaction Time) the following steps occurred simultaneously:

 

   

All fractional shares of IR-Limited held of record were cancelled and IR-Limited paid to each holder of fractional shares that were cancelled an amount based on the average of the high and low trading prices of the IR-Limited Class A common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on 29 June 2009.

 

   

All previously outstanding whole Class A common shares of IR-Limited were cancelled.

 

   

IR-Limited issued to IR-Ireland 319,166,220 Class A common shares.

 

   

IR-Ireland issued 319,166,220 ordinary shares to holders of whole IR-Limited Class A common shares that were cancelled as a part of the Scheme of Arrangement.

 

   

All previously outstanding ordinary shares of IR-Ireland held by IR-Limited and its nominees were acquired by IR-Ireland and cancelled for no consideration.

As a result of the Ireland Reorganization, IR-Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of IR-Ireland and the Class A common shareholders of IR-Limited became ordinary shareholders of IR-Ireland.

The Ireland Reorganization did not have a material impact on our financial results. Ingersoll-Rand plc will still continue to be subject to United States Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements and prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Shares of Ingersoll-Rand plc will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “IR”, the same symbol under which the Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited Class A common shares previously traded.

At the Transaction Time, IR-Limited completed the transfer of all the outstanding shares of Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited (IR-Global) to Ingersoll-Rand International Holding Limited (IR-International), another wholly owned indirect subsidiary of IR-Limited incorporated in Bermuda, whereupon IR-International assumed the obligations of IR-Limited as an issuer or guarantor, as the case may be, under the indentures governing the Group’s outstanding notes, medium-term notes and debentures. IR-Ireland and IR-Limited also fully and unconditionally guarantee the payment obligations of IR-International, IR-Global and Ingersoll-Rand Company, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of IR-Limited incorporated in New Jersey (IR-New Jersey), as the case may be, as the issuers of debt securities under these indentures. Neither IR-Ireland nor IR-Limited has issued or intends to issue guarantees in respect of any indebtedness incurred by Trane. In addition, any securities issued by the Group that were convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Class A common shares of IR-Limited became convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, as the case may be, into the ordinary shares of IR-Ireland.

Significant events in 2009

In the fourth quarter of 2009, we realigned our external reporting structure to more closely reflect our corporate and business strategies and to promote additional productivity and growth. Our segments are now as follows: Climate Solutions, Residential Solutions, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies. As part of the change, we eliminated the Air Conditioning Systems and services segment which represented the acquired Trane business and created two new reportable segments, the Climate Solutions segment and the Residential Solutions segment. See Note 32 in the consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of the segment realignment.

During 2009, we completed a comprehensive financing program that significantly enhanced our liquidity and debt profile. Actions taken include the issuance of $1.0 billion in long-term debt (Senior Notes and Exchangeable Senior Notes) in April 2009 and the replacement of our Trane accounts receivable purchase program in March 2009 with a new accounts receivable purchase program that encompassed originators from all four of our business segments. The proceeds from our debt issuance were used to repay the $950.0 million outstanding under our senior unsecured bridge loan facility.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, we initiated enterprise-wide restructuring actions in order to streamline both our manufacturing footprint and our general and administrative cost base. We have incurred approximately $182.1 million of costs associated with our restructuring programs since the fourth quarter of 2008, $111.4 million of which occurred during 2009. These combined restructuring actions generated approximately $194 million of annual pretax savings for 2009.

Trends and Economic Events

We are a global corporation with worldwide operations. As a global business, our operations are affected by worldwide, regional and industry-specific economic factors, as well as political factors, wherever we operate or do business. Our geographic and industry diversity, as well as the diversity of our product sales and services, has helped limit the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results.

Since the onset of the economic downturn in 2008, we have seen weaker demand for many of our products and services. Although the challenging and difficult end market environments in which we operate are showing signs of stabilization, albeit at lower levels, we are still operating in a depressed economic climate. Despite the challenging economic environment, we continue to execute our business strategy.

Given the broad range of products manufactured and geographic markets served, management uses a variety of factors to predict the outlook for the Group. We monitor key competitors and customers in order to gauge relative performance and the outlook for the future. In addition, our order rates are indicative of future revenue and thus a key measure of anticipated performance. In those industry segments where we are a capital equipment provider, revenues depend on the capital expenditure budgets and spending patterns of our customers, who may delay or accelerate purchases in reaction to changes in their businesses and in the economy.

For 2010, we expect current market conditions to continue to impact our financial results. U.S. and European non-residential construction markets are expected to remain weak; however, some of our end markets are showing signs of stabilization.

Despite the current market environment, we have a solid foundation of global brands and leading market shares in all of our major product lines. Our growing geographic and industry diversity coupled with our large installed product base provides growth opportunities within our service, parts and replacement revenue streams. In addition, we are investing substantial resources to innovate and develop new products and services which will fuel our future growth.

Results for the year and proposed transfer to reserves

The results for the year are set out in the Group consolidated profit and loss account on page 28. The balance to be transferred to reserves is $451.3 million.

Research and Development

We engage in research and development activities in an effort to introduce new products, enhance existing products effectiveness, increase safety, improve ease of use and reliability as well as expand the various applications for which our products may be appropriate. In addition, we continually evaluate developing technologies in areas that we believe will enhance our business for possible investment or acquisition. We anticipate that we will continue to make significant expenditures for research and development activities as we look to maintain and improve our competitive position. Research and development expenditures, including qualifying engineering costs, were $257.4 million in 2009 and $204.6 million in 2008.

Key Performance Indicators

Turnover

Turnover for the year ended 31 December 2009 decreased by 0.2%, or $32.1 million, compared with the same period of 2008, which primarily resulted from the following:

 

Volume/product mix

   -15.5

Pricing

   0.8

Currency exchange rates

   -1.4

Acquisitions

   15.9
      

Total

   -0.2
      

The acquisition of Trane on 5 June 2008 (the Acquisition Date) increased net turnover by $2,096.3 million compared with the same period of 2008. The increase, which represented 15.9% of the year-over-year change in turnover, was a consequence of 2008 reported results only reflecting activity since the Acquisition Date. Excluding the results of Trane, revenues decreased by 16.1%, or $2,128.4 million, which resulted from lower volumes and product mix (16%) and an unfavorable currency impact (1%). These reductions were partially offset by improved pricing (1%). The Trane commercial and residential HVAC businesses also experienced substantial volume declines during the year. Softening overall demand in many major end-markets was the primary driver of the volume reduction. However, we continued to make progress in increasing recurring revenues, which improved by 6% over prior year and accounted for 19% of net revenues in 2008.

Cost of Sales

For the year ended 31 December 2009, cost of sales decreased by $103 million, or 1.1% compared to the same period in 2008, which included the results of Trane since the Acquisition Date. Trane increased cost of sales by $1,421.8 million, which contributed 14.6% to the year-over-year change. Excluding the results of Trane cost of sales decreased by $1,524.8 million, or 15.7% as a result of increased productivity actions and expense reduction across the businesses. These actions helped to mitigate the impact of lower volumes due to the continued global weakness in our major end markets.

As a result, cost of sales as a percentage of turnover decreased to 73.1% from 73.7%. In addition, cost of sales included $58.3 million of restructuring costs compared to restructuring and integration costs of $56.7 million in 2008.

Distribution and Administrative Expenses

For the year ended 31 December 2009, distribution and administrative expense increased by $365.5 million, or 15.6% compared to the same period in 2008, which included the results of Trane since the Acquisition Date. Trane increased distribution and administrative expenses by $558.5 million, which contributed 23.8% to the year-over-year change. Excluding the results of Trane, distribution and administrative expense decreased by $193.0 million, or 8.2% as a result of increased productivity actions and expense reduction across the businesses. These actions partially offset the dramatic decline in volume experienced during 2009. As a result, distribution and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 20.5% compared with 17.7% for the same period of 2008. In addition, distribution and administrative expense included $53.1 million of restructuring costs compared to $34.2 million of restructuring and integration costs in 2008.

Operating Margin

Operating margin for the year ended 31 December 2009 increased to 6.4% from a negative 19.7% for the same period in 2008, which included the results of Trane since the Acquisition Date. Operating margin for the year ended 31 December 2008 was impacted by a non-cash charge of $3,710.0 million related to an asset impairment recognized in the fourth quarter. Excluding the asset impairment, which had a 28.1 point impact on 2008 operating margins year-over-year, operating margins decreased by 2.2 points. The primary drivers of the decrease related to lower volumes, an unfavorable currency impact and lower margins in the acquired Trane businesses. Results were further impacted by $111.4 million of restructuring costs which impacted operating margins in 2009 by 0.8 points. Productivity actions, expense reduction and improved pricing helped to mitigate the impact of the continued global weakness in our major end markets.

Interest payable

Interest payable for the year ended 31 December 2009 increased $56.8 million compared with the same period of 2008. The increase is primarily related to higher average debt levels as a result of the funding of the acquisition of Trane in June 2008.

Provision for taxation

For the year ended 31 December 2009, the effective tax rate was 12.8% compared to 7.5% in 2008. The 2009 tax rate was below the U.S. Statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which, in aggregate, have a lower effective rate. The 5.3 point increase in the effective rate is primarily the result of an increase in valuation allowances as well as changes in earnings mix offset by a reduction in our liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

For the year ended 31 December 2008, the effective tax rate was 7.5%. The tax rate was substantially below the U.S. Statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to the large impairment charge recognized in the fourth quarter, as well as earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which, in aggregate, have a lower effective rate. The 9.4 point reduction in the effective rate is primarily the result of lower earnings in high tax jurisdiction during 2008. See Note 27 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of tax matters.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the year ended 31 December 2009, we completed a comprehensive financing program that significantly enhanced our liquidity and debt profile. Actions taken include the issuance of $1.0 billion of long-term debt (Senior Notes and Exchangeable Senior Notes) in April 2009 and the replacement of our Trane accounts receivable purchase program in March 2009 with a new accounts receivable purchase program that encompassed originators from all four of our business segments. The proceeds from our debt issuance were used to repay the $950.0 million outstanding under our senior unsecured bridge loan facility.

We currently believe that our cash and cash equivalents balance, the cash generated by our operations, our committed credit lines as well as our expected ability to access the capital markets will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs for the foreseeable future.

Total

   876.7    2,350.4
         

Commercial Paper Program

We use borrowings under our commercial paper program for general corporate purposes. As of 31 December 2009, we had no outstanding commercial paper borrowings after paying down $998.7 million during 2009. We funded these payments primarily using cash generated from operations.

Senior Unsecured Bridge Loan Facility

In connection with the Trane acquisition, we entered into a $3.9 billion senior unsecured bridge loan facility, with a 364-day term. We drew down $2.95 billion against the bridge loan facility in June 2008. The proceeds, along with cash on hand and the issuance of $1.5 billion in commercial paper, were used to fund the cash component of the consideration paid for the acquisition as well as to pay for related fees and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition.

As of 31 December 2008, our outstanding balance of the senior unsecured bridge loan facility was $754 million after a $196 million payment in the fourth quarter of 2008. In the first quarter of 2009, we borrowed an additional $196 million under the facility, increasing the outstanding balance to $950.0 million as of March 31, 2009. We repaid the outstanding balance in April 2009 with proceeds from our long-term debt issuance as discussed below and terminated the facility.

Debentures with Put Feature

At 31 December 2008, we had outstanding $345.7 million of fixed rate debentures which only requires early repayment at the option of the holder. These debentures contain a put feature that the holders may exercise on each anniversary of the issuance date. If exercised, we are obligated to repay in whole or in part, at the holder’s option, the outstanding principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest) of the debentures held by the holder. If these options are not fully exercised, the final maturity dates would range between 2027 and 2028.

In 2009, holders of these debentures chose to exercise the put feature on $2.1 million of the remaining debentures. As a result, approximately $343.6 million remained outstanding at 31 December 2009. In February 2010, holders of these debentures have the option to exercise the put feature on $37.2 million of the outstanding debentures. Based on our cash flow forecast, we believe we will have sufficient liquidity to repay any amounts redeemable as a result of these put features.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

 

Long-term Debt

In August 2008, we filed a universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an indeterminate amount of securities for future issuance and issued $1.6 billion of long-term debt pursuant to the shelf registration statement through our subsidiary, IR Global Holding Company Limited (IR-Global). This issuance consisted of $250 million Senior Floating Rate Notes due in 2010, $600 million 6.000% Senior Notes due in 2013 and $750 million 6.875% Senior Notes due in 2018. These notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by IR-Limited. The net proceeds from the offering were used to reduce the amount outstanding under the senior unsecured bridge loan facility.

Interest on the fixed rate notes will be paid twice a year. We have the option to redeem them in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time, prior to their stated maturity date at redemption prices set forth in the debt offering documents. Interest on the floating rate notes will be paid four times a year. The notes are subject to certain customary covenants, however, none of these covenants are considered restrictive to our operations.

Senior Notes Due 2014

In April 2009, we issued $655 million of 9.5% Senior Notes through our wholly owned subsidiary, IR-Global. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of IR-Ireland, IR-Limited and IR-International. Interest on the fixed rate notes will be paid twice a year in arrears. We have the option to redeem them in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time, prior to their stated maturity date at redemption prices set forth in the indenture agreement. The notes are subject to certain customary covenants, however, none of these covenants are considered restrictive to our operations.

Exchangeable Senior Notes Due 2012

In April 2009, we issued $345 million of 4.5% Exchangeable Senior Notes through our wholly owned subsidiary, IR-Global. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of IR-Ireland, IR-Limited and IR-International. Interest on the exchangeable notes will be paid twice a year in arrears. In addition, holders may exchange their notes at their option prior to 15 November 2011 in accordance with specified circumstances set forth in the indenture agreement or anytime on or after 15 November 2011 through their scheduled maturity. Upon exchange, the notes will be paid in cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be exchanged, the remainder due on the option feature, if any, will be paid in cash, IR ordinary shares or a combination thereof at the option of the Company. The notes are subject to certain customary covenants, however, none of these covenants are considered restrictive to our operations.

We allocated the proceeds of the exchangeable notes between debt and equity, in a manner that reflects our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. We allocated approximately $305 million of the gross proceeds to debt, with the remaining discount of approximately $40 million (approximately $39 million after allocated fees) recorded within equity. Additionally, we will amortize the discount into earnings over a three-year period.

Accounts Receivable Purchase Program

On 31 March 2009, we expanded our existing Trane accounts receivable purchase program and replaced it with a new accounts receivable purchase program that encompassed originators from all four of our business segments. The increase in originators allowed us to increase the program size from $150 million to $325 million. At 31 December 2009, the outstanding balance of eligible trade receivables sold to an affiliated master special purpose vehicle was $544.2 million. However, no net interests have been sold to any of the three conduits administered by unaffiliated financial institutions. In the first quarter of 2010, we expect to terminate the new accounts receivable purchase program prior to its expiration in March 2010. See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for a further description of the program.

Pension Plans

Our investment objectives in managing defined benefit plan assets are to ensure that present and future benefit obligations to all participants and beneficiaries are met as they become due; to provide a total return that, over the long-term, minimizes our required contributions at the appropriate levels of risk; and to meet any statutory or regulatory requirements.

We monitor the impact of market conditions on our funding requirements and pension plan expense on a quarterly basis. None of our pension plans have experienced any significant impact on their liquidity to pay retirees in the plans due to the volatility in the markets. For further details on pension plan activity, see Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements.

Cash Flows

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the years ended 31 December respectively. For additional details, please see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the consolidated financial statements.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $1,751.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2009 compared with $374.3 million in 2008. Prior year operating cash flows were impacted by a tax payment of approximately $700 million in the first quarter of 2008 paid to various taxing authorities primarily associated with the Compact Equipment divestiture. Cash flows from operating activities for the year ended 31 December 2009 include significant improvements in accounts receivable collections and inventory management, in addition to the results of Trane for the entire period.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $182.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2009 compared with $7,306.4 million in 2008. The change in investing activities is primarily attributable to cash used for the acquisition of Trane in 2008.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the year ended 31 December 2009 was $1,208.1 million, compared with $2,760.6 million of net cash provided by financing activities during 2008. The change in financing activities is primarily related to the proceeds received from the bridge loan facility and commercial paper used to finance the acquisition of Trane in June 2008.

During the year ended 31 December 2009, we refinanced the bridge loan facility and repaid the amounts outstanding on our commercial paper program.

Capital Resources

Based on historical performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents balance, the cash generated from our operations, our committed credit lines and our expected ability to access capital markets will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for the foreseeable future.

Capital expenditures were $204.2 million and $306.0 million 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our investments continue to improve manufacturing productivity, reduce costs and provide environmental enhancements and advanced technologies for existing facilities. The capital expenditure program for 2010 is estimated to be approximately $250 million, including amounts approved in prior periods. Many of these projects are subject to review and cancellation at our option without incurring substantial charges.

In addition, we announced plans to initiate enterprise-wide restructuring actions in October 2008. These actions include streamlining the footprint of manufacturing facilities and reducing the general and administrative cost base. As of 31 December 2009, we have incurred approximately $182.1 million of costs associated with these restructuring actions since the fourth quarter of 2008.

Capitalization

In addition to cash on hand and operating cash flow, we maintain significant credit availability under our commercial paper programs. Our ability to borrow at a cost-effective rate under the commercial paper programs is contingent upon maintaining an investment-grade credit rating.

As of 31 December 2009, our credit ratings were as follows:

 

     Short-term    Long-term

Moody’s

   P-2    Baa1

Standard and Poor’s

   A-2    BBB+

The credit ratings set forth above are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

 

In June 2008, we entered into a $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a three-year term. The line is unused and provides support for our commercial paper program as well as for other general corporate purposes.

In addition to the three-year credit facility, we have a committed revolving credit facility totaling $1.25 billion, which expires in August 2010. This line is unused and provides support for our commercial paper program as well as for other general corporate purposes. Other available non-U.S. lines of credit were $993.3 million, of which $823.9 million were unused at 31 December 2009. These lines provide support for bank guarantees, letters of credit and other general corporate purposes.

Our public debt does not contain any financial covenants and our revolving credit lines have a debt-to-total capital covenant of 65%. As of 31 December 2009, our debt-to-total capital ratio was significantly beneath this limit.

Guarantees

As part of the reorganization of IR-New Jersey in 2001, IR-Limited fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the issued public debt securities of IR-New Jersey. IR-New Jersey unconditionally guaranteed payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on IR-Limited’s 4.75% Senior Notes due in 2015 in aggregate principal amount of $300 million. The guarantee is unsecured and provided on an unsubordinated basis. The guarantee ranks equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt of IR-New Jersey. In addition, public debt securities issued by IR-Global are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by IR-Limited.

As a part of the reorganization of IR-Limited in 2009, the guarantee structure was updated to reflect the newly created legal structure under which (i) IR-International assumed the obligations of IR-Limited as issuer or guarantor, as the case may be, and (ii) IR-Ireland and IR-Limited fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations under the various indentures covering

the currently outstanding public debt of IR-International, IR-Global and IR-New Jersey. Neither IR-Ireland nor IR-Limited has issued or intends to issue guarantees in respect of any indebtedness incurred by Trane.

* Includes $343.6 million of debt redeemable at the option of the holder. The scheduled maturities of these bonds range between 2027 and 2028.
** Includes $345 million related to the Exchangeable Senior Notes due in 2012. See Note 21 in the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Future expected obligations under our pension and postretirement benefit plans, income taxes, environmental and asbestos matters have not been included in the contractual cash obligations table above.

Pensions

At 31 December 2009, we had net obligations of $903.0 million, which consist of noncurrent pension assets of $1.1 million and current and non-current pension benefit liabilities of $904.1 million. It is our objective to contribute to the pension plans to ensure adequate funds are available in the plans to make benefit payments to plan participants and beneficiaries when required. We currently project that we will contribute approximately $85 million to our plans worldwide in 2010. Because the timing and amounts of long-term funding requirements for pension obligations are uncertain, they have been excluded from the preceding table. See Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

At 31 December 2009, we had postretirement benefit obligations of $979.4 million. We fund postretirement benefit costs principally on a pay-as-you-go basis as medical costs are incurred by covered retiree populations. Benefit payments, which are net of expected plan participant contributions and Medicare Part D subsidy, are expected to be approximately $79 million in 2010. Because the timing and amounts of long-term funding requirements for postretirement obligations are uncertain, they have been excluded from the preceding table. See Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Taxation

At 31 December 2009, we have total unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions of $525.1 million and $80.3 million of related accrued interest and penalties. The liability has been excluded from the preceding table as we are unable to reasonably estimate the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid. See Note 27 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding matters relating to income taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits and IRS tax disputes.

Environmental and Asbestos Matters

We are involved in various litigations, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental and product liability matters. We believe that these liabilities are subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, and will likely be resolved over an extended period of time. Because the timing and amounts of potential future cash flows are uncertain, they have been excluded from the preceding table. See Note 31 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Review of Business Segments

Our business segments provide products, services and solutions used to increase the efficiency and productivity of both industrial and commercial operations and homes, as well as improve the security, safety, health and comfort of people around the world.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, we realigned our external reporting structure to more closely reflect our corporate and business strategies and to promote additional productivity and growth. Our segments are now as follows: Climate Solutions, Residential Solutions, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies. As part of the change, we eliminated the Air Conditioning Systems and Services segment which represented the acquired Trane business and created two new reportable segments, the Climate Solutions segment and the Residential Solutions segment. Our business segments are as follows:

Climate Solutions

Our Climate Solutions segment delivers energy-efficient refrigeration and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) solutions throughout the world. Encompassing the transport and stationary refrigeration markets as well as the commercial HVAC markets, this segment offers customers a broad range of products, services and solutions to manage controlled temperature environments. This segment, which had 2009 net revenues of $7.3 billion, includes the market leading brands of Hussmann, Thermo King and Trane.

Residential Solutions

Our Residential Solutions segment provides safety, comfort and efficiency to homeowners throughout North America and parts of South America. It offers customers a broad range of products, services and solutions including mechanical and electronic locks, energy-efficient HVAC systems, indoor air quality solutions, advanced controls, portable security systems and remote home management. This segment, which had 2009 net revenues of $2.0 billion, is comprised of well-known brands like American Standard, Schlage and Trane.

Industrial Technologies

Our Industrial Technologies segment provides products, services and solutions that enhance energy efficiency, productivity and operations. It offers our global customers a diverse and innovative range of products including compressed air systems, tools, pumps, fluid handling systems, golf and utility vehicles in addition to environmentally friendly micro turbines. This segment, which had 2009 net revenues of $2.2 billion, includes the Club Car and Ingersoll Rand market-leading brands.

Security Technologies

Our Security Technologies segment is a leading global provider of products and services that make environments safe, secure and productive. The segment’s market-leading products include electronic and biometric access control systems and software, locks and locksets, door closers, exit devices, steel doors and frames, portable security devices, as well as time, attendance and personnel scheduling systems. These products serve a wide range of markets including the commercial construction market, healthcare, retail, maritime and transport industries as well as educational and governmental facilities. This segment, which had 2009 net revenues of $1.7 billion, includes the CISA, LCN, Schlage and Von Duprin brands.

Competitive Conditions

Our products are sold in highly competitive markets throughout the world. Due to the diversity of these products and the variety of markets served, we encounter a wide variety of competitors that vary by product line. They include well-established regional or specialized competitors, as well as larger U.S. and non-U.S. corporations or divisions of larger companies.

The principal methods of competition in these markets relate to price, quality, delivery, service and support, technology and innovation. We believe that we are one of the leading manufacturers in the world of HVAC systems and services, air compression systems, transport temperature control products, refrigerated display merchandisers, refrigeration systems and controls, air tools, and golf and utility vehicles. In addition, we believe we are a leading supplier in U.S. markets for architectural hardware products, mechanical locks and electronic and biometric access-control technologies.

Distribution

Our products are distributed by a number of methods, which we believe are appropriate to the type of product. U.S. sales are made through branch sales offices and through distributors, dealers and large retailers across the country. Non-U.S. sales are made through numerous subsidiary sales and service companies with a supporting chain of distributors throughout the world.

Customers

We have no major customers that accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated turnover in 2009 or 2008. No material part of our business is dependent upon a single customer or a small group of customers; therefore, the loss of any one customer would not have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Raw Materials

We manufacture many of the components included in our products, which requires us to employ a wide variety of raw materials. Principal raw materials, such as steel, copper and aluminum, are purchased from a large number of independent sources around the world. In the past, higher prices for some raw materials, particularly steel and non-ferrous metals, have caused pricing pressures in some of our businesses; we have historically been able to pass certain of these cost increases on to customers in the form of price increases.

We believe that available sources of supply will generally be sufficient for the foreseeable future. There have been no raw material shortages which have had a material adverse effect on our businesses. However, significant changes in certain material costs may have an adverse impact on our costs and operating margins. To mitigate this potential impact, we enter into long-term supply contracts in order to manage our exposure to potential supply disruptions.

Working Capital

We manufacture products that usually must be readily available to meet our customer’s rapid delivery requirements. Therefore, we maintain an adequate level of working capital to support our business needs and our customers’ requirements. Such working capital requirements are not, however, in the opinion of management, materially different from those experienced by our major competitors. Our sales and payment terms are generally similar to those of our competitors.

Patents and Licenses

We own numerous patents and patent applications, and are licensed under others. Although in aggregate we consider our patents and licenses to be valuable to our operations, we do not believe that our business is materially dependent on a single patent or license or any group of them. In our opinion, engineering, production skills and experience are more responsible for our market position than our patents and/or licenses.

Operations by Geographic Area

More than 35% of our 2009 turnover was derived outside the U.S. and we sold products in more than 100 countries. Therefore, the attendant risks of manufacturing or selling in a particular country, such as nationalization and establishment of common markets, would not be expected to have a significant effect on our non-U.S. operations. For a discussion of risks attendant to our non-U.S. operations, see “Risks relating to our businesses – Currency exchange rate and commodity price fluctuations may adversely affect our results,” “Risks relating to our businesses – Our global operations subject us to economic risks,” in this directors’ report.

Environmental Matters

We continue to be dedicated to an environmental program intended to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process as well as to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, we are currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities.

 

12


DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

 

We are sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and have received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. We have been also identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. For all such sites, there are other PRPs and, in most instances, our involvement is minimal.

In estimating our liability, we have assumed that we will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based generally on the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future.

During 2009, we spent $10.8 million for environmental remediation expenditures at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by us. As of 31 December 2009 and 2008, we have recorded reserves for environmental matters of $93.3 million and $100.9 million, respectively. We believe that these expenditures and accrual levels will continue and may increase over time. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.

Asbestos Matters

Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits, a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants. The vast majority of those claims has been filed against either IR-New Jersey or Trane and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain historical products sold by IR-New Jersey or Trane, primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. Neither IR-New Jersey nor Trane was a producer or manufacturer of asbestos, however, some formerly manufactured products utilized asbestos-containing components such as gaskets and packings purchased from third-party suppliers.

Principal Risks

Risks Relating to Our Businesses

We are relying on an indemnification agreement with respect to any potential liability arising from a European Commission Investigation into possible infringement of European Union competition law by Trane and its subsidiaries. If we were unable to rely on the indemnification agreement for any reason, any potential liability arising from the European Commission Investigation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In connection with Trane’s spinoff of the Vehicle Control Systems business into a new publicly traded company called WABCO Holdings Inc. (WABCO) on 31 July 2007, Trane entered into an Indemnification and Cooperation Agreement (Indemnification Agreement) with, among others, American Standard Europe BVBA (renamed WABCO Europe BVBA) (WABCO Europe), which became a subsidiary of WABCO following the spinoff. Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, WABCO Europe has agreed to indemnify Trane and its subsidiaries and their respective affiliates against any fines related to the European Commission Investigation. For a further discussion of European Commission Investigation, see “Legal Proceedings.” If the maximum fine is levied in 2010, the total liability could be as high as $1.1 billion based on Trane’s last full fiscal year of worldwide revenue attributable to all of its product lines owned at the time the Statement of

Objections was issued, subject to a probable reduction for leniency of at least 20 percent provided WABCO Europe, as the leniency applicant, fulfilled all conditions set forth in the European Commission’s leniency notice. WABCO has stated in its Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended 31 December 2009 that its ability to satisfy its obligations under the Indemnification Agreement is contingent on its funding capability at the time of the fine, which could be affected by, among other things, its ability to access its then existing credit facilities, its ability to obtain alternative sources of financing, its ability to obtain some payment relief from the European Commission or its ability to obtain a suspension of the payment obligation from the European Court of First Instance. If WABCO Europe were unable to satisfy its obligations under the Indemnification Agreement or if we were unable to rely on the Indemnification Agreement for any reason, any potential liability arising from the European Commission Investigation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We face continuing risks relating to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)

On 10 November 2004, the SEC issued an Order directing that a number of public companies, including us, provide information relating to their participation in certain transactions under the United Nations’ Oil for Food Program. Upon receipt of the Order, we undertook a thorough review of our participation in the Oil for Food Program and provided the SEC with information responsive to its investigation of our participation in the program. On 31 October 2007, we announced that we had reached settlements with the SEC and the Department of Justice (DOJ) relating to certain payments made by our foreign subsidiaries in 2000-2003 in connection with the Oil for Food Program. Pursuant to the settlements with the SEC and DOJ, we have, among other things, (i) consented to the entry of a civil injunction in the SEC action, (ii) entered into a three-year deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the DOJ, and (iii) agreed to implement improvements to our compliance program designed to enhance detection and prevention of violations of the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. If the DOJ determines, in its sole discretion, that we have committed a federal crime or have otherwise breached the DPA during its three-year term, we may be subject to prosecution for any federal criminal violation of which the DOJ has knowledge, including, without limitation, violations of the FCPA in connection with the Oil for Food Program. Breaches of the settlements with SEC and DOJ may also subject us to, among other things, further enforcement actions by the SEC or the DOJ, securities litigation and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could adversely affect our business prospects and the market value of our stock. For a further discussion of the settlements with the SEC and DOJ, see “Legal Proceedings.”

Furthermore, we have reported to the DOJ and SEC certain matters involving Trane, including one relating to the Oil for Food Program, and which raise potential issues under the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. With respect to these matters, we have conducted a thorough investigation which began in earnest promptly after our acquisition of Trane in June 2008. Previously, we had reported to the SEC and DOJ potential FCPA issues relating to one of our businesses in China, and we have reported back to them and shared with them our audit report, which indicated no FCPA violations. With respect to that same business in China, we have discussed with the DOJ and SEC another matter which raises potential FCPA issues. We have had preliminary discussions concerning the foregoing with the SEC and DOJ, to be followed by further discussions about them and possibly other matters which raise potential FCPA concerns. These matters (and others which may arise or of which we become aware in the future) may be deemed to violate the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. Such determinations could subject us to, among other things, further enforcement actions by the SEC or the DOJ (if, for example, the DOJ deems us to have violated the DPA), securities litigation and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could adversely affect our business prospects and the market value of our stock.

Our global operations subject us to economic risks.

Our global operations are dependent upon products manufactured, purchased and sold in the U.S. and internationally, including Europe, China, Brazil, Venezuela, Africa, India and Turkey. These activities are subject to risks that are inherent in operating globally, including the following:

 

   

countries could change regulations or impose currency restrictions and other restraints;

 

   

in some countries, there is a risk that the government may expropriate assets;

 

   

some countries impose burdensome tariffs and quotas;

 

   

national and international conflict, including terrorist acts, could significantly impact our financial condition and results of operations; and

 

   

economic downturns, political instability and war or civil disturbances may disrupt production and distribution logistics or limit sales in individual markets.

Currency exchange rate and commodity price fluctuations may adversely affect our results.

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.

 

14


DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

 

More than 35% of our 2009 turnover was derived outside the U.S., and we expect sales to non-U.S. customers to continue to represent a significant portion of our consolidated turnover. Although we enter into currency exchange contracts to reduce our risk related to currency exchange fluctuations, changes in the relative values of currencies occur from time to time and may, in some instances, have a significant effect on our results of operations. Because we do not hedge against all of our currency exposure, our business will continue to be susceptible to currency fluctuations.

Furthermore, the reporting currency for our financial statements is the U.S. dollar. We have assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. To prepare our consolidated financial statements, we must translate those assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates. Consequently, increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies will affect the amount of these items in our consolidated financial statements, even if their value has not changed in their original currency.

Foreign Currency Exposures

We have operations throughout the world that manufacture and sell their products in various international markets. As a result, we are exposed to movements in exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar as well as against other currencies throughout the world. We actively manage the currency exposures that are associated with purchases and sales and other assets and liabilities at the operating unit level. Exposures that cannot be naturally offset within an operating unit to an insignificant amount are hedged with foreign currency derivatives. We also have non-U.S. currency net asset exposures, which we currently do not hedge with any derivative instrument.

We evaluate our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates on our foreign currency derivatives using a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis is a measurement of the potential gain or loss in fair value based on a percentage increase or decrease in exchange rates. Based on the firmly committed currency derivative instruments in place at 31 December 2009, a hypothetical change in fair value of those derivative instruments assuming a 10% increase in exchange rates would result in an unrealized gain of approximately $69.1 million, as compared with an unrealized gain of $23.9 million at 31 December 2008. These amounts would be offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying currency transactions.

We are also a large buyer of steel and non-ferrous metals, as well as other commodities required for the manufacture of our products. Volatility in the prices of these commodities could increase the costs of our products and services. We may not be able to pass on these costs to our customers and this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. We may purchase commodity derivatives which reduce the volatility of the commodity prices for supplier contracts where fixed pricing is not available.

Commodity Price Exposures

We are exposed to volatility in the prices of raw materials used in some of our products and we use fixed price contracts to manage this exposure. We do not have any committed commodity derivative instruments in place at 31 December 2009.

Significant shortages in the raw materials we use in our businesses and higher energy prices could increase our operating costs.

We rely on suppliers to secure raw materials, particularly steel and non-ferrous metals, required for the manufacture of our products. A disruption in deliveries from our suppliers or decreased availability of raw materials or commodities could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet our commitments to customers or increase our operating costs. We believe that available sources of supply will generally be sufficient for our needs for the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, the unavailability of some raw materials may have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additionally, we are exposed to large fluctuations for the price of petroleum-based fuel due to the instability of current market prices. Higher energy costs increase our operating costs and the cost of shipping our products to customers around the world. Consequently, sharp price increases, the imposition of taxes or an interruption of supply, could cause us to lose the ability to effectively manage the risk of rising fuel prices and may have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

 

Changes in weather patterns and seasonal fluctuations may adversely affect certain segments of the Company’s business and impact overall results of operations.

Demand for certain segments of the Group’s products and services is influenced by weather conditions. For instance, Trane’s sales have historically tended to be seasonally higher in the second and third quarters of the year because, in the U.S. and other northern hemisphere markets, summer is the peak season for sales of air conditioning systems and services. Additionally, while there is demand for Trane’s products and services throughout the year, a significant percentage of turnover is related to U.S. residential and commercial construction activity, which is generally higher in the second and third quarters of the year. Therefore, results of any quarterly period may not be indicative of expected results for a full year and unexpected cool trends or unseasonably warm trends during the summer season could negatively or positively affect certain segments of the Group’s business and impact overall results of operations.

Material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements could adversely affect our financial health.

We estimate that our available cash and our cash flow from operations will be adequate to fund our operations for the foreseeable future. In making this estimate, we have not assumed the need to make any material payments in connection with any pending litigation or investigations. As required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we establish reserves based on our assessment of contingencies. Subsequent developments in legal proceedings, including current or future asbestos-related litigation, may affect our assessment and estimates of the loss contingency recorded as a reserve and we may be required to make additional material payments, which could result in an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Such an outcome could have important consequences. For example, it could:

 

   

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

   

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and the industries in which we operate;

 

   

restrict our ability to exploit business opportunities; and

 

   

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our payment obligations with respect to our outstanding indebtedness.

If the distribution of WABCO’s shares by Trane on 31 July 2007 were to fail to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), then Trane and Trane’s shareholders who received WABCO common stock in the distribution may be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes.

On 31 July 2007, Trane (then known as American Standard Companies Inc.) completed the spinoff of its vehicle control systems business into a new publicly traded company named WABCO. At the time, Trane received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) substantially to the effect that the distribution qualified as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355 of the Code. In addition, Trane received an opinion of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, tax counsel to Trane, substantially to the effect that the distribution will qualify as tax-free to Trane, WABCO and Trane shareholders under Section 355 and related provisions of the Code. The ruling and opinion were based on, among other things, certain assumptions as well as on the accuracy of certain factual representations and statements made by WABCO and Trane. In rendering its ruling, the IRS also relied on certain covenants that Trane and WABCO entered into, including the adherence to certain restrictions on WABCO’s and Trane’s future actions.

In connection with our acquisition of Trane in June 2008, we received an opinion of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, tax counsel to us, substantially to the effect that the distribution should continue to qualify as tax-free to Trane, WABCO and Trane shareholders under Section 355 and related provisions of the Code. Notwithstanding receipt by Trane and us of the private letter ruling as well as the opinions of counsel, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not later assert that the distribution should be treated as a taxable transaction.

If the distribution fails to qualify for tax-free treatment, then Trane would recognize a gain in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of WABCO’s common stock distributed to the Trane shareholders over (ii) Trane’s tax basis in such common stock. Under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement, in the event the distribution were to fail to qualify as a tax-free reorganization and such failure was not the result of actions taken after the distribution by Trane or any of its subsidiaries or shareholders, WABCO would be responsible for all taxes imposed on Trane as a result thereof. In addition, each Trane shareholder who received WABCO common stock in the distribution generally would be treated as having received a taxable distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of WABCO’s common stock received (including any fractional share sold on behalf of the shareholder), which would be taxable as a dividend to the extent of the shareholder’s ratable share of Trane’s current and accumulated earnings and profits at the time (as increased to reflect any current income including any gain recognized by Trane on the taxable distribution). The balance, if any, of the distribution

 

16


DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

 

would be treated as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the Trane shareholder’s tax basis in its Trane stock, with any remaining amount being taxed as capital gain. If WABCO was unable to satisfy its obligations under the Tax Sharing Agreement or if Trane was unable to rely on the Tax Sharing Agreement for any reason, any potential liability arising from the distribution of WABCO’s shares by Trane could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Our Past Reorganizations

We effected a corporate reorganization in December 2001 to become a Bermuda company (the “Bermuda Reorganization”) and a subsequent corporate reorganization in July 2009 to become an Irish public limited company (the “Ireland Reorganization”). These reorganizations exposed us and our shareholders to the risks described below. In addition, we cannot be assured that all of the anticipated benefits of the reorganizations will be realized.

Changes in tax laws, regulations or treaties, changes in our status under U.S. or other tax laws or adverse determinations by taxing authorities could increase our tax burden or otherwise affect our financial condition or operating results, as well as subject our shareholders to additional taxes.

The realization of any tax benefit related to our reorganizations could be impacted by changes in tax laws, tax treaties or tax regulations or the interpretation or enforcement thereof by the U.S. tax authorities or any other tax authority. From time to time, proposals have been made and/or legislation has been introduced to change the U.S. tax law that if enacted could increase our tax burden and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. For instance, recent legislative proposals would broaden the circumstances under which we would be considered a U.S. resident, which would significantly diminish the realization of any tax benefit related to our reorganizations. There are other recent U.S. tax legislative proposals that could modify or eliminate the tax deductibility of various currently deductible payments, which could materially and adversely affect our effective tax rate and cash tax position. Moreover, other legislative proposals could potentially affect us by overriding certain tax treaties and limiting the treaty benefits on certain payments by our U.S. subsidiaries to our non-U.S. affiliates, which would adversely affect our effective tax rate. We cannot predict the outcome of any specific legislation. While we are currently monitoring these proposals and are investigating all options, we could still be subject to increased U.S. taxation on a going forward basis no matter what action we undertake if certain legislative proposals are enacted and/or certain tax treaties are amended.

While our U.S. operations are subject to U.S. tax, we believe that a significant portion of our non-U.S. operations are generally not subject to U.S. tax other than withholding taxes. Our conclusions are based on, among other things, our determination that we, and a significant portion of our foreign subsidiaries, are not currently controlled foreign corporation’s (CFC) within the meaning of the U.S. tax laws, although the IRS or a court may not concur with our conclusions. A non-U.S. corporation, such as us, will constitute a CFC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if certain ownership criteria are met. If the IRS or a court determined that we (or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries) were a CFC, then each of our U.S. shareholders who own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock (or the stock of any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries) on the last day of the applicable taxable year (a “10% U.S. Voting Shareholder”) would be required to include in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes its pro rata share of our subpart F and other similar types of income (and the subpart F and other similar types of income of any of our subsidiaries determined to be a CFC) for the period during which we (and our non-U.S. subsidiaries) were a CFC. In addition, gain on the sale of our shares realized by such a shareholder may be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the shareholder’s proportionate share of our and our CFC subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings and profits accumulated during the shareholder’s holding period of the shares while we (or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries) are a CFC. Treatment of us or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries as a CFC could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

On 20 July 2007, we received a notice from the IRS containing proposed adjustments to our tax filings in connection with an audit of the 2001 and 2002 tax years. The IRS did not contest the validity of our reincorporation in Bermuda. The most significant adjustments proposed by the IRS involve treating the entire intercompany debt incurred in connection with our reincorporation in Bermuda as equity. As a result of this recharacterization, the IRS disallowed the deduction of interest paid on the debt and imposed dividend withholding taxes on the payments denominated as interest. The IRS also asserted an alternative argument to be applied if the intercompany debt is respected as debt. In that circumstance, the IRS proposed to ignore the entities that hold the debt and to which the interest was paid, and impose 30% withholding tax on a portion of the interest payments as if they were made directly to a company that was not eligible for reduced U.S. withholding tax under a U.S. income tax treaty. The IRS asserted under this alternative theory that we owe additional taxes with respect to 2002 of approximately $84 million plus interest. If either of these positions were upheld in their entirety, we would be required to record additional charges. We strongly disagreed with the view of the IRS, and filed a protest with the IRS in the third quarter of 2007.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

 

On 12 January 2010, we received an amended notice from the IRS eliminating its assertion that the intercompany debt incurred in connection with our reincorporation in Bermuda should be treated as equity. However, the IRS continues to assert the alternative position described above and proposes adjustments to our 2001 and 2002 tax filings. In addition, the IRS provided notice on 19 January 2010, that it is assessing penalties of 30% on the asserted underpayment of tax described above.

We have and intend to continue to vigorously contest these proposed adjustments. We, in consultation with our outside advisors, carefully considered the form and substance of our intercompany financing arrangements, including the actions necessary to qualify for the benefits of the applicable U.S. income tax treaties. We believe that these financing arrangements are in accordance with the laws of the relevant jurisdictions including the U.S., that the entities involved should be respected and that the interest payments qualify for the U.S. income tax treaty benefits claimed.

Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based upon an analysis of the strength of our position, we believe that we are adequately reserved for this matter. As we move forward to resolve this matter with the IRS, it is reasonably possible that the reserves established may be adjusted. However, we do not expect that the ultimate resolution will have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations or financial position. At this time, the IRS has not proposed any similar adjustments for years subsequent to 2002. However, if all or a portion of these adjustments proposed by the IRS are ultimately sustained, it is likely to also affect subsequent tax years.

For a further discussion of the IRS audit, see “Legal Proceedings” and Note 27 to our consolidated financial statements.

As noted above, the IRS did not contest the validity of the Bermuda Reorganization in the above-mentioned notices. We believe that neither we nor our consolidated subsidiary IR-New Jersey will incur significant U.S. federal income or withholding taxes as a result of the transfer of the shares of our subsidiaries that occurred as part of the Bermuda Reorganization. However, we cannot give any assurances that the IRS will agree with our determination.

The inability to realize any anticipated tax benefits related to our reorganizations could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Legislative and regulatory action could materially and adversely affect us.

Our tax position could be adversely impacted by changes in tax laws, tax treaties or tax regulations or the interpretation or enforcement thereof by the U.S. tax authorities or any other tax authority. From time to time, proposals have been made and/or legislation has been introduced to change the U.S. tax law that if enacted could increase our tax burden and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. For example, the Obama administration has recently announced various tax legislative proposals that, if adopted, could adversely impact the Company. Legislative action may be taken by the U.S. Congress which, if ultimately enacted, could potentially override U.S. tax treaties upon which we rely, broaden the circumstances under which we would be considered a U.S. resident or modify or eliminate the tax deductibility of various currently deductible payments, each of which could materially and adversely affect our effective tax rate and cash tax position. We cannot predict the outcome of any specific legislative proposals. However, if these or similar proposals that had the effect of disregarding the Ireland Reorganization, limiting our ability to take advantage of tax treaties between Ireland and other jurisdictions (including the United States) or modifying or eliminating the deductibility of various currently deductible payments were enacted, we could be subjected to increased taxation. In addition, any future amendments to current income tax treaties, including between Ireland and other jurisdictions (including the United States) could subject us to increased taxation.

Also, the U.S. federal government and various states and municipalities have enacted or may enact legislation intended to deny government contracts to U.S. companies that reincorporate outside of the U.S. or have reincorporated outside of the U.S.

For instance, the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended, includes a provision that prohibits “inverted domestic corporations” and their subsidiaries from entering into contracts with the Department of Homeland Security. In addition, the State of California adopted legislation intended to limit the eligibility of certain non-U.S. chartered companies to participate in certain state contracts. More recently, the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Consolidated Appropriations Acts prohibit any federal government agency from using funds appropriated by Congress for fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010 to pay an inverted

domestic corporation or any of its subsidiaries for work performed or products provided under certain federal contracts (“Affected Contracts”). Although the amount of monies already paid to us or to be paid to us under the Affected Contracts is not material to the Group, we cannot provide any assurance that the impact of future actions taken by the government in this area will not be materially adverse to our operations.

In addition, there continues to be negative publicity regarding, and criticism of, companies that conduct business in the United States and in other countries but have changed their place of incorporation to another country.

Our effective tax rate may increase notwithstanding the Ireland Reorganization.

While the Ireland Reorganization is not anticipated to have any material impact on our effective tax rate, there is uncertainty regarding the tax policies of the jurisdictions where we operate (which include the potential legislative actions described above), and our effective tax rate may increase and any such increase may be material. Additionally, the tax laws of Ireland and other jurisdictions could change in the future, and such changes could cause a material change in our effective tax rate.

Dividends received by our shareholders may be subject to Irish dividend withholding tax.

In certain circumstances, as an Irish tax resident company, we are required to deduct Irish dividend withholding tax (currently at the rate of 20%) from dividends paid to our shareholders. In the majority of cases, shareholders resident in the United States will not be subject to Irish withholding tax, and shareholders resident in a number of other countries will not be subject to Irish withholding tax provided that they complete certain Irish dividend withholding tax forms.

Dividends received by our shareholders could be subject to Irish income tax.

Dividends paid in respect of our shares will generally not be subject to Irish income tax where the beneficial owner of these dividends is exempt from dividend withholding tax, unless the beneficial owner of the dividend has some connection with Ireland other than his or her shareholding in Ingersoll Rand.

Our shareholders who receive their dividends subject to Irish dividend withholding tax will generally have no further liability to Irish income tax on the dividends unless the beneficial owner of the dividend has some connection with Ireland other than his or her shareholding in Ingersoll Rand.

A future transfer of our shares may be subject to Irish stamp duty.

In certain circumstances, the transfer of shares in an Irish incorporated company will be subject to Irish stamp duty (currently at the rate of 1% of the higher of the price paid or the market value of the shares acquired) payable by the buyer. Although in the majority of transactions there will be no stamp duty because both the seller and buyer hold the shares beneficially, this additional risk for the buyer could adversely affect the price of our shares. Although we currently intend to cause one of our affiliates to pay stamp duty in connection with share transfers made in the ordinary course of trading by a seller who holds shares directly to a buyer who holds the acquired shares beneficially, our articles of association provide that, in the event of any such payment, we (i) may seek reimbursement from the transferor or transferee (at our discretion), (ii) may set-off the amount of the stamp duty against future dividends payable to the transferor or transferee (at our discretion), and (iii) will have a lien against our shares on which we have paid stamp duty and any dividends paid on such shares.

Irish law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to holders of our securities.

It may not be possible to enforce court judgments obtained in the United States against us in Ireland based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws. In addition, there is some uncertainty as to whether the courts of Ireland would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers based on the civil liabilities provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws or hear actions against us or those persons based on those laws. We have been advised that the United States currently does not have a treaty with Ireland providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any U.S. federal or state court based on civil liability, whether or not based solely on U.S. federal or state securities laws, would not automatically be enforceable in Ireland.

As an Irish company, we are governed by the Irish Companies Act, which differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and shareholders, including, among others, differences relating to interested director and officer transactions and shareholder lawsuits. Likewise, the duties of directors and officers of an Irish company generally

 

19


DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

 

are owed to the company only. Shareholders of Irish companies generally do not have a personal right of action against directors or officers of the company and may exercise such rights of action on behalf of the company only in limited circumstances. Accordingly, holders of our securities may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would holders of securities of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the United States. In addition, Irish law allows shareholders to authorize share capital which then can be issued by a board of directors without shareholder approval. Also, subject to specified exceptions, Irish law grants statutory pre-emptive rights to existing shareholders to subscribe for new issuances of shares for cash, but allows shareholders to authorize the waiver of the statutory pre-emptive rights with respect to any particular allotment of shares. These authorizations must be renewed by the shareholders every five years and we cannot guarantee that these authorizations will always be approved.

Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, we are involved in a variety of lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings, including commercial and contract disputes, employment matters, product liability claims, environmental liabilities and intellectual property disputes. In our opinion, pending legal matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.

Oil for Food Program and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) matters

As previously reported, on 10 November 2004, the SEC issued an Order directing that a number of public companies, including the Company, provide information relating to their participation in transactions under the United Nations’ Oil for Food Program. Upon receipt of the Order, the Company undertook a thorough review of its participation in the Oil for Food Program, provided the SEC with information responsive to the Order and provided additional information requested by the SEC. During a 27 March 2007 meeting with the SEC, at which a representative of the DOJ was also present, the Company began discussions concerning the resolution of this matter with both the SEC and DOJ. On 31 October 2007, the Company announced it had reached settlements with the SEC and DOJ relating to this matter. Under the terms of the settlements, the Company paid a total of $6.7 million in penalties, interest and disgorgement of profits. The Company has consented to the entry of a civil injunction in the SEC action and has entered into a three-year deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the DOJ. Under both settlements, the Company has implemented and will continue to implement improvements to its compliance program that are consistent with its longstanding policy against improper payments. In the settlement documents, the Government noted that the Company thoroughly cooperated with the investigation, that the Company had conducted its own complete investigation of the conduct at issue, promptly and thoroughly reported its findings to them, and took prompt remedial measures.

Additionally, we have reported to the DOJ and SEC certain matters involving Trane, including one relating to the Oil for Food Program, and which raise potential issues under the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. With respect to these matters, we have conducted a thorough investigation, which began in earnest promptly after our acquisition of Trane in June 2008. Previously, we had reported to the SEC and DOJ potential FCPA issues relating to one of our businesses in China, and we have reported back to them and shared our audit report, which indicated no FCPA violations. With respect to that same business in China, we have discussed with the DOJ and SEC another matter which raises potential FCPA issues. We have had preliminary discussions concerning the foregoing with the SEC and DOJ, to be followed by further discussions about them and possibly other matters which raise potential FCPA concerns. These matters (and others which may arise or of which we become aware in the future) may be deemed to violate the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. Such determinations could subject us to, among other things, further enforcement actions by the SEC or the DOJ (if, for example, the DOJ deems us to have violated the DPA), securities litigation and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could adversely affect our business prospects and the market value of our stock.

The European Commission Investigation

In November 2004, Trane was contacted by the European Commission as part of a multi-company investigation into possible infringement of European Union competition law relating to the distribution of bathroom fixtures and fittings in certain European countries. On 28 March 2007, Trane, along with a number of other companies, received a Statement of Objections from the European Commission. The Statement of Objections, an administrative complaint, alleges infringements of European Union competition rules by numerous bathroom fixture and fittings companies, including Trane and certain of its former European subsidiaries engaged in the Bath and Kitchen business. These former subsidiaries were transferred (i) to WABCO on 31 July 2007 as part of a legal reorganization in connection with the spinoff of Trane’s Vehicle Control Systems business and (ii) to Bain Capital Partners LLC on 31 October 2007 in connection with the sale of Trane’s Bath & Kitchen business. Trane and certain of its former European subsidiaries will be jointly and severally liable for any fines that result from the investigation. However, pursuant to an Indemnification and Cooperation Agreement among Trane and certain other parties (Indemnification Agreement), American Standard Europe BVBA (renamed WABCO Europe BVBA) (WABCO Europe), which is a subsidiary of WABCO following the reorganization, will be responsible for, and will indemnify Trane

and its subsidiaries (including certain subsidiaries formerly engaged in the Bath and Kitchen business) and their respective affiliates against, any fines related to this investigation. Trane and the charged subsidiaries responded to the European Commission on 1 August 2007 and 31 July 2007, respectively. A hearing with the European Commission regarding the response to the Statement of Objections was conducted from 12-14 November 2007, in Brussels. WABCO Europe and other former Trane subsidiaries participated in the hearing. Trane, however, did not participate in the hearing.

In 2006, the European Commission adopted new fining guidelines (2006 Guidelines) and stated its intention to apply these guidelines in all cases in which a Statement of Objections is issued after September 2006. In applying the 2006 Guidelines, the Commission retains considerable discretion in calculating the fine although the European Union regulations provide for a cap on the maximum fine equal to ten percent of Trane’s worldwide revenue attributable to all of its products for the fiscal year prior to the year in which the fine is imposed. If the maximum fine is levied in 2010, the total liability could be as high as $1.1 billion based on Trane’s last full fiscal year of worldwide revenue attributable to all of its businesses owned at the time the Statement of Objections was issued, subject to a probable reduction for leniency of at least 20 percent provided WABCO Europe, as the leniency applicant, fulfilled all conditions set forth in the European Commission’s leniency notice. WABCO has stated in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2009 filed with the SEC, that its ability to satisfy its obligations under the Indemnification Agreement is contingent on its funding capability at the time of the fine, which could be affected by, among other things, its ability to access its then existing credit facilities, its ability to obtain alternative sources of financing, its ability to obtain some payment relief from the European Commission or its ability to obtain a suspension of the payment obligation from the European Court of First Instance.

Tax Related Matters

On 20 July 2007, we received a notice from the IRS containing proposed adjustments to our tax filings in connection with an audit of the 2001 and 2002 tax years. The IRS did not contest the validity of our reincorporation in Bermuda. The most significant adjustments proposed by the IRS involve treating the entire intercompany debt incurred in connection with our reincorporation in Bermuda as equity. As a result of this recharacterization, the IRS disallowed the deduction of interest paid on the debt and imposed dividend withholding taxes on the payments denominated as interest. The IRS also asserted an alternative argument to be applied if the intercompany debt is respected as debt. In that circumstance, the IRS proposed to ignore the entities that hold the debt and to which the interest was paid, and impose 30% withholding tax on a portion of the interest payments as if they were made directly to a company that was not eligible for reduced U.S. withholding tax under a U.S. income tax treaty. The IRS asserted under this alternative theory that we owe additional taxes with respect to 2002 of approximately $84 million plus interest. If either of these positions were upheld in their entirety, we would be required to record additional charges. We strongly disagreed with the view of the IRS, and filed a protest with the IRS in the third quarter of 2007.

On 12 January 2010, we received an amended notice from the IRS eliminating its assertion that the intercompany debt incurred in connection with our reincorporation in Bermuda should be treated as equity. However, the IRS continues to assert the alternative position described above and proposes adjustments to our 2001 and 2002 tax filings. In addition, the IRS provided notice on 19 January 2010, that it is assessing penalties of 30% on the asserted underpayment of tax described above.

We have and intend to continue to vigorously contest these proposed adjustments. We, in consultation with our outside advisors, carefully considered the form and substance of our intercompany financing arrangements, including the actions necessary to qualify for the benefits of the applicable U.S. income tax treaties. We believe that these financing arrangements are in accordance with the laws of the relevant jurisdictions including the U.S., that the entities involved should be respected and that the interest payments qualify for the U.S. income tax treaty benefits claimed.

Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based upon an analysis of the strength of our position, we believe that we are adequately reserved for this matter. As we move forward to resolve this matter with the IRS, it is reasonably possible that the reserves established may be adjusted. However, we do not expect that the ultimate resolution will have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations or financial position. At this time, the IRS has not proposed any similar adjustments for years subsequent to 2002. However, if all or a portion of these adjustments proposed by the IRS are ultimately sustained, it is likely to also affect subsequent tax years. For a further discussion of tax matters, see Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.

Asbestos Related Matters

Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits, a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants. The vast majority of those claims has been filed against either Ingersoll Rand Company (IR-New Jersey) or Trane and generally allege

 

21


DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

 

injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain historical products sold by IR-New Jersey or Trane, primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. Neither IR-New Jersey nor Trane was a producer or manufacturer of asbestos, however, some formerly manufactured products utilized asbestos-containing components such as gaskets and packings purchased from third-party suppliers.

Dividends paid

The dividends paid in 2009 to ordinary shareholders and minority interests were $181.0 million. On 30 March 2009, Ingersoll Rand’s Board of Directors authorized a reduction in the quarterly dividend to $0.07 per share from $0.18 per share, effective with the September 2009 dividend payment.

Future Developments

The Group is very focused on achieving margin expansion through pricing and sustained productivity. We aspire to and are working toward growing through customer-driven innovation. Successful execution of all these critical focus areas will be essential for Ingersoll Rand to become a top-tier company, among our peers and across industry lines.

Company Books of Account

The directors are responsible for ensuring that the Company keeps proper books of accounting records and appropriate accounting systems. To achieve this, the directors have appointed a Chief Financial Officer who makes regular reports to the Board of Directors and ensures compliance with the requirements of Section 202 of the Companies Act, 1990. The Chief Financial Officer makes regular reports to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. In addition, the head of the Company’s internal audit department make regular reports to the Audit Committee regarding fraud and other financial-related irregularities. The Audit Committee, in turn, briefs the full Board of Directors on significant financial matters arising from reports of the Chief Financial Officer, the head of internal audit and the external auditor.

The measures taken by the directors to secure compliance with the Company’s obligation to keep proper books of account are the use of appropriate systems and procedures and employment of competent persons. The books of account are kept at 170-175 Lakeview Drive, Airside Business Park, Swords, Co. Dublin, Republic of Ireland.

Significant Events Since Year End

As a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Act”) signed into law on March 23, 2010, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Bill of 2010 signed into law on March 30, 2010, (together with the Act, the “Healthcare Reform Legislation”) in the United States, effective 2013, the tax benefits available to the Group will be reduced to the extent its drug expenses are reimbursed under the Medicare Part D retiree drug subsidy program. Although the provisions of the Healthcare Reform Legislation relating to the retiree drug subsidy program do not take effect until 2013, the Group is required to recognize the full accounting impact in its financial statements in the reporting period in which the Healthcare Reform Legislation is enacted. As retiree healthcare liabilities and related tax impacts are already reflected in the Group’s financial statements, the Healthcare Reform Legislation will result in a charge to taxation expense in 2010 of approximately $41 million (approximately $0.12 per diluted share). This charge reflects the anticipated increase in taxes that will occur as a result of the Healthcare Reform Legislation.

Political Donations

There were no political contributions which require disclosure under the Electoral Act, 1997.

Subsidiary Companies and Associates

Information regarding subsidiary undertakings and associates are provided in Note 40 to the consolidated financial statements.

Branches

The Company does not operate any branches outside of the State.

Going Concern

The board has formed a judgment at the time of approving the financial statements that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group and the Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In arriving at this conclusion the board has taken account of current and anticipated trading performance, together with the current and anticipated levels of net debt and the availability of the committed borrowing facilities. For this reason, the going concern basis continues to be adopted in the preparation of the Group and the Company financial statements.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Irish company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period. Under that law the directors have prepared the Group financial statements in accordance with applicable Irish law and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), as defined in Section 1(1) of the Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009, to the extent that the use of those principles in the preparation of the financial statements does not contravene any provision of the Companies Acts or of any regulations made thereunder. The directors have elected to prepare the Company financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in Ireland (Irish GAAP), comprising the financial reporting standards issued by the Accounting Standards Board (ASB) and published by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (ICAI) together with the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2009. The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

 

 

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

 

 

make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

 

 

state that the Group financial statements comply with U.S. GAAP to the extent that it does not contravene Irish Company Law and that the Company financial statements comply with the accounting standards issued by the Accounting Standards Board and Irish GAAP.

 

 

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.

The directors confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements.

The directors are responsible for keeping proper books of account that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and the Group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Irish Companies Acts, 1963 to 2009 and the European Communities (Companies: Group Accounts) Regulations, 1992. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the website (www.irco.com). Legislation in the Republic of Ireland concerning the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INGERSOLL-RAND PLC

We have audited the group financial statements of Ingersoll-Rand plc for the year ended 31 December 2009 which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, the Consolidated Reconciliation of Movement in Shareholders’ Funds, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Statement and the related notes. These group financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein.

We have reported separately on the parent company financial statements of Ingersoll-Rand plc for the year ended 31 December 2009.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors

The directors’ responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the group financial statements, in accordance with applicable Irish law and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), as defined in Section 1(1) of the Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009, to the extent that the use of those principles in the preparation of the financial statements does not contravene any provision of the Companies Acts or of any regulations made thereunder, are set out in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities on page 25.

Our responsibility is to audit the group financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the company’s members as a body in accordance with Section 193 of the Companies Act, 1990 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

We report to you our opinion as to whether the group financial statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with US GAAP to the extent that the use of those principles in the preparation of the group financial statements does not contravene any provision of the Companies Acts or of any regulations made thereunder, and have been properly prepared in accordance with Irish statute comprising the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2009 and the European Communities (Companies: Group Accounts) Regulations 1992. We state whether we have obtained all the information and explanations we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit. We also report to you our opinion as to whether the directors’ report is consistent with the group financial statements.

We also report to you if, in our opinion, any information specified by law regarding directors’ remuneration and directors’ transactions is not disclosed and, where practicable, include such information in our report.

We read the other information contained in the Annual Report and consider whether it is consistent with the audited group financial statements. The other information comprises only the Directors’ Report. We consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the group financial statements. Our responsibilities do not extend to any other information.

Basis of audit opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the group financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgments made by the directors in the preparation of the group financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the group financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the group financial statements.

Opinion

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The directors have elected to prepare the consolidated financial statements of Ingersoll-Rand plc (IR-Ireland or the Company) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Group) in accordance with applicable Irish law and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), as defined in Section 1(1) of the Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009, to the extent that the use of those principles in the preparation of the financial statements does not contravene any provision of the Companies Acts or of any regulations made thereunder.

The separate financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland and Irish statute comprising the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2009, and the European Communities (Companies: Group Accounts) Regulations, 1992. Accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland in preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view are those published by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland and issued by the Accounting Standards Board.

The profit attributable to equity shareholders dealt with in the financial statements of the Company was $36.0 million. In accordance with Section 148(8) of the Companies Act, 1963 and Section 7(1A) of the Companies Amendment Act, 1986, the Company is availing of the exemption from presenting its individual profit and loss account to the Annual General Meeting and from filing it with the Registrar of Companies.

The financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

Reorganization: IR-Ireland is the successor to IR-Limited following a corporate reorganization that became effective on 1 July 2009 (the Ireland Reorganization). IR-Limited is the successor to Ingersoll-Rand Company, a New Jersey corporation (IR-New Jersey), following a corporate reorganization that occurred on 31 December 2001 (the Bermuda Reorganization). Both the Ireland Reorganization and the Bermuda Reorganization were accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and accordingly, did not result in any changes to the consolidated amounts of assets, liabilities and equity shareholders’ funds.

Accounting Convention: These Financial Statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.

Basis of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Partially owned equity affiliates are accounted for under the equity method. The Company is also required to consolidate variable interest entities in which it bears a majority of the risk to the entities’ potential losses or stands to gain from a majority of the entities’ expected returns. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of all discontinued operations have been separately reported as discontinued operations and held for sale for all periods presented.

Turnover Recognition: Turnover is recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (a) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; (b) price is fixed or determinable; (c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered. Delivery generally occurs when the title and the risks and rewards of ownership have substantially transferred to the customer. Turnover from maintenance contracts or extended warranties is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, unless another method is more representative of the costs incurred. The Group enters into agreements that contain multiple elements, such as equipment, installation and service revenue. For multiple-element arrangements, the Group recognizes turnover for delivered elements when the delivered item has stand-alone value to the customer, fair values of undelivered elements are known, customer acceptance has occurred, and only customary refund or return rights exist related to the delivered elements. Turnover from certain of our equipment and the related installation sold under construction-type contracts are recorded using the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Dividends: Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive the payment is established. Quarterly dividends on ordinary shares are recognized in the financial statements when they are paid.

 

32


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on several factors including the facts and circumstances available at the time the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and the assessment of the probable future outcome. Some of the more significant estimates include accounting for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, purchase price allocations of acquired businesses, valuation of assets including goodwill and other intangible assets, product warranties, sales allowances, pension plans, postretirement benefits other than pensions, taxes, environmental costs, product liability, asbestos matters and other contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the profit and loss account in the period that they are determined.

Foreign Currency: Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, have been translated at year-end exchange rates, and income and expenses accounts have been translated using average exchange rates throughout the year. Adjustments resulting from the process of translating an entity’s financial statements into the U.S. dollar have been recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet within Other reserves. Transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are subject to changes in exchange rates with the resulting gains and losses recorded within net earnings.

Cash at Bank and in Hand: Cash at bank and in hand include cash on hand, demand deposits and all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less.

Marketable Securities: The Group has classified its marketable securities as available-for-sale in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Available-for-sale marketable securities are accounted for at market prices, with the unrealized gain or loss, less applicable deferred income taxes, recorded within other reserves. If any of the Group’s marketable securities experience other than temporary declines in value as defined by U.S. GAAP, a loss is recorded in the Consolidated profit and loss account.

Stock: Depending on the business, U.S. stocks are stated at the lower of cost or market using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method or the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Non-U.S. inventories are primarily stated at the lower of cost or market using the FIFO method. At 31 December 2009 and 2008, approximately 44% and 45%, respectively, of all inventory utilized the LIFO method.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The Group has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts reserve which represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent in the Group’s account receivables portfolio. This estimate is based upon company policy, derived from knowledge of its end markets, customer base and products. The Group reserved $57.6 million and $52.1 million for doubtful accounts as of 31 December 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Product Warranties: Warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Group assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available.

Tangible Fixed Assets: Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Assets placed in service are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset except for leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the shorter of their economic useful life or their lease term. The range of useful lives used to depreciate tangible fixed assets is as follows:

 

Buildings    10 to 50 years
Machinery and equipment    3 to 15 years
Software    2 to 7 years

Repair and maintenance costs that do not extend the useful life of the asset are charged against earnings as incurred. Major replacements and significant improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives are capitalized.

The Group assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its tangible fixed assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

33


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets: The Group records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Once the final valuation has been performed for each acquisition, adjustments may be recorded.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset.

Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level and determined using a two step process. The first step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed, wherein the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent that the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value, impairment exists and must be recognized.

Recoverability of other indefinite-lived intangible assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the intangible assets to the estimated fair value of the respective intangible assets. Any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss equal to that excess.

Intangible assets such as patents, customer-related intangible assets and other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. The weighted-average useful lives approximate the following:

 

Customer relationships

   20 years   

Trademarks

   25 years   

Completed technology/patents

   10 years   

Other

   10 years    *

 

* Excludes intangibles acquired and fully expensed in the year of acquisition.

Recoverability of intangible assets with finite useful lives is assessed in the same manner as property, plant and equipment as described above.

Research and Development Costs: The Group conducts research and development activities for the purpose of developing and improving new products and services. These expenditures, including qualifying engineering costs, are expensed when incurred. For the years ended 31 December 2009 and 2008, these expenditures amounted to $257.4 million, and $204.6 million, respectively. The Group also incurs engineering costs that are not considered research and development expenditures.

Taxation: Current tax represents the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, along with any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Group recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and non-U.S. tax credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered in its judgment to be more likely than not. The Group regularly reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets considering its historic profitability, projected future taxable income, timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the feasibility of its tax planning strategies. Where appropriate, the Group records a valuation allowance with respect to a future tax benefit.

Treasury Stock: The Company, through one of its consolidated subsidiaries, has repurchased its ordinary shares from time to time in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions as authorized by the Board of Directors. These repurchases are based upon current market conditions and the discretion of management. Amounts are recorded at cost and included within the Shareholders’ equity section. For the year ended 31 December 2008, ordinary shares owned by the Company amounted to 52.0 million. During 2009, the Company cancelled approximately 52.0 million treasury shares in anticipation of the Ireland Reorganization. At 31 December 2009, a subsidiary of the Company held 26,074 ordinary shares in trust for a deferred compensation plan. These ordinary shares have been reflected as treasury shares in the consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 25 for further detail of the Company’s share capital.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Environmental Costs: The Group is subject to laws and regulations relating to protecting the environment. Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures relating to existing conditions caused by past operations, which do not contribute to current or future revenues, are expensed. Liabilities for remediation costs are recorded when they are probable and can be reasonably estimated, generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies or the Group’s commitment to a plan of action. The assessment of this liability, which is calculated based on existing technology, does not reflect any offset for possible recoveries from insurance companies, and is not discounted.

Asbestos Matters: Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. The Group records a liability for its actual and anticipated future claims as well as an asset for anticipated insurance settlements. Although the Group was neither a manufacturer nor producer of asbestos, some of its formerly manufactured components from third party suppliers utilized asbestos related components. As a result, amounts related to asbestos are recorded within Discontinued operations, net of taxation, except for amounts related to Trane asbestos liabilities, which are recorded in continuing operations. Refer to Note 31 for further details of asbestos related matters.

Software Costs: The Group follows the guidance outlined in FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (ASC 350) for all software developed or obtained for internal use, which requires companies to capitalize certain internal-use software costs once specific criteria are met and subsequently amortize these costs over the software’s useful life, which ranges from 2 to 7 years.

Employee Benefit Plans: The Group provides a range of benefits to eligible employees and retired employees, including pensions, postretirement and post-employment benefits. Determining the cost associated with such benefits is dependent on various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, expected return on plan assets, compensation increases, employee mortality and turnover rates, and health-care cost trend rates. Actuaries perform the required calculations to determine expense in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Actual results may differ from the actuarial assumptions and are generally accumulated and amortized into earnings over future periods. These amounts are generally recognized into Shareholders’ equity on an annual basis. The Group reviews its actuarial assumptions at each measurement date and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends, if appropriate. In 2008, the Group changed the measurement date for all defined benefit plans from 30 November to 31 December as required by U.S. GAAP.

Provisions: Provisions are recorded for various liabilities which are uncertain in timing and amount arising in the normal course of business, including litigation and administrative proceedings, environmental matters, product liability, product warranty, worker’s compensation and other claims. The Group has recorded provisions in the financial statements related to these matters, which are developed using input derived from actuarial estimates and historical and anticipated experience data depending on the nature of the provision, and in certain instances with consultation of legal counsel, internal and external consultants and engineers. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for these types of liabilities, the Group believes its estimated provisions are reasonable and does not believe the final determination of the liabilities with respect to these matters would have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Group for any year.

Derivative Instruments: The Group periodically enters into cash flow and other hedge transactions to specifically hedge exposure to various risks related to interest rates, currency rates and commodity pricing. The Group recognizes all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. For cash flow designated hedges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of the derivative contract are recorded in other reserves, net of taxes, and are recognized in the profit and loss account at the time earnings are affected by the hedged transaction. For other derivative transactions, the changes in the fair value of the derivative contract are recognized in the Consolidated profit and loss account.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

The Group adopted the FASB’s new standard for accounting for minority interests on 1 January 2009. A minority interest in a subsidiary is considered an ownership interest that should now be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Group now includes minority interests as a component of total shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet and the earnings attributable to minority interests are now presented as an adjustment from profit after taxation used to arrive at profit after taxation attributable to Ingersoll-Rand plc in the consolidated profit and loss account. Prior to the adoption of this new standard, earnings associated with minority interests were reported as a component of other operating expenses.

As discussed in Note 8, the Group acquired Trane Inc. (Trane) at the close of business on 5 June 2008 (the Acquisition Date). The results of operations of Trane have been included in the consolidated statements of profit and loss and cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2009. The consolidated statements of profit and loss account and cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2008 include the results of Trane since the Acquisition Date.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

FASB ASC 715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits,” (ASC 715) requires an entity to measure its defined benefit plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position. The measurement date provisions of ASC 715 are effective for the Group for the fiscal year ending 31 December 2008. The Group has adopted the measurement provisions of ASC 715, which resulted in an after-tax charge to the profit and loss account in the amount of $3.7 million ($6.5 million pre-tax) in 2008. Plans acquired during 2008 were not impacted by this change.

In September 2006, the FASB issued revised guidance within FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820) to provide a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information to develop those assumptions. Additionally, the guidance expands the disclosures about fair value measurements to include disclosing the fair value measurements of assets or liabilities within each level of the fair value hierarchy. These provisions of ASC 820 are effective for the Group starting on 1 January 2008. In accordance with ASC 820, the Group has delayed its implementation of these provisions for the fair value of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and nonfinancial long-lived assets and liabilities. Refer to Note 24 for a full discussion of these provisions of ASC 820.

In February 2007, the FASB issued revised guidance within FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (ASC 825) which allows companies the option, at specified election dates, to measure financial assets and liabilities at their current fair value, with the corresponding changes in fair value from period to period recognized in the profit and loss account. Additionally, ASC 825 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. These provisions of ASC 825 are effective for the Group starting on 1 January 2008. As of 31 December 2009, the Group has not elected the option available under ASC 825.

In December 2007, the FASB issued revised guidance to address the financial accounting and reporting for business combinations, which can be found in FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (ASC 805). ASC 805 supersedes SFAS 141, “Business Combinations” and retains the fundamental requirements set forth therein regarding the purchase method of accounting. However, it expands the guidance to enable proper recognition and measurement, at fair value, the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any minority interest in the acquired business. In addition, ASC 805 introduces new accounting guidance on how to recognize and measure contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition and restructuring costs. These provisions of ASC 805 are effective for acquisitions occurring after 1 January 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued revised guidance within FASB ASC 810, “Consolidations” (ASC 810) which clarifies that a minority interest in a subsidiary represents an ownership interest that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, ASC 810 requires expanded profit and loss account presentation and disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the Group and the interests of the non-controlling owners of the subsidiary. ASC 810, as it relates to minority interests in consolidated financial statements, is effective for the Group starting on 1 January 2009.

In March 2008, the FASB issued revised guidance within FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815), which amends and expands the disclosures previously required. ASC 815 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The expanded disclosure requirements found in ASC 815 as they relate to the modifications made in March 2008 are effective for the Group starting on 1 January 2009. See Note 22 for a discussion of these provisions of ASC 815.

In May 2008, the FASB issued revised guidance within FASB ASC 470, “Debt” (ASC 470) which requires us to allocate between debt and equity the proceeds of the Group’s exchangeable notes, in a manner that reflects the group’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. In addition, the Group is required to amortize any discount into earnings over a period of three years. These provisions of ASC 470 became applicable to the Group during the second quarter of 2009, upon issuance of the exchangeable senior notes in April 2009.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance within ASC 810. These revisions eliminate FASB Interpretation 46(R)’s exceptions to consolidating qualifying special-purpose entities, contain new criteria for determining the primary beneficiary, and increase the frequency of required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. ASC 810 also contains a new requirement that any term, transaction, or arrangement that does not have a substantive effect on an entity’s status as a variable interest entity, a company’s power over a variable interest entity, or a company’s obligation to absorb losses or its right to receive benefits of an entity must be disregarded in applying FASB Interpretation 46(R)’s provisions. The elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept and its consolidation exceptions means more entities will be subject to consolidation assessments and reassessments. These provisions of ASC 810 are effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after 15 November 2009, and for interim periods within that first period, with earlier adoption prohibited. The Group is currently assessing the potential impacts, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance within FASB ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing” (ASC 860). These revisions eliminate the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, create more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, clarify other sale-accounting criteria, and change the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets. These provisions of ASC 860 will be effective for transfers of financial assets in fiscal years beginning after 15 November 2009 and in interim periods within those fiscal years with earlier adoption prohibited. The Group is currently assessing the potential impacts, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

Included in currency exchange losses above is a $24 million charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009, associated with the recent devaluation in the Venezuelan Bolivar. At 31 December 2009, the Group remeasured its foreign currency receivables and payables associated with the Venezuelan Bolivar at the parallel rate of 6.0 Bolivars for each U.S. dollar, based on the Group’s inability to settle certain transactions through the official government channels in an expeditious manner. Previously, the Group remeasured all foreign currency transactions at the official rate of 2.15 Bolivars for each U.S. dollar. In addition, effective 1 January 2010, Venezuela has been designated highly inflationary, as the blended Consumer Price Index/National Consumer Price Index reached cumulative three-year inflation in excess of 100% during the fourth quarter of 2009. As such, all future foreign currency fluctuations will be recorded in income.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Group recorded income of approximately $25 million primarily related to a favorable settlement with an insurance carrier associated with a portion of the Group’s asbestos obligation, which is included in other miscellaneous income in the table above.

(c) Tax Fees for the year ended 31 December 2009 include consulting and compliance services in the U.S. and non-U.S. locations. Tax Fees for the year ended 31 December 2008 include consulting services in the U.S. and non-U.S. locations and tax compliance services primarily in non-U.S. locations.
(d) All Other Fees for the year ended 31 December 2009 include license fees for technical accounting software. All Other Fees for the year ended 31 December 2008 include consulting services in the U.S. and non-U.S. locations and license fees for technical accounting software.

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures which require that the Audit Committee pre-approve all non-audit services that may be provided to the Group by its independent auditors. The policy: (i) provides for pre-approval of an annual budget for each type of service; (ii) requires Audit Committee approval of specific projects over $100,000, even if included in the approved budget; and (iii) requires Audit Committee approval if the forecast of expenditures exceeds the approved budget on any type of service. The Audit Committee pre-approved all of the services described under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees.” The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of all such non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC.

8. ACQUISITION OF TRANE INC.

At the close of business on 5 June 2008 (the Acquisition Date), the Group completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common shares of Trane. Trane, formerly American Standard Companies Inc., provides systems and services that enhance the quality and comfort of the air in homes and buildings around the world. Trane’s systems and services have leading positions in premium commercial, residential, institutional and industrial markets, a reputation for reliability, high quality and product innovation and a powerful distribution network.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Group paid a combination of (i) 0.23 of an IR-Limited Class A common share and (ii) $36.50 in cash, without interest, for each outstanding share of Trane common stock. The total cost of the acquisition was approximately $9.6 billion, including change in control payments and direct costs of the transaction. The Group financed the cash portion of the acquisition with a combination of cash on hand, commercial paper and a 364-day senior unsecured bridge loan facility.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Stocks were recorded at fair value, based on computations which considered many factors, including the future estimated selling price of the stock, the cost to dispose of the stock, as well as the replacement cost of the stock, where applicable.

The Group recorded intangible assets based on their estimated fair value, and consisted of the following:

 

In millions

   Useful life    Amount

Trade names

   Indefinite    $ 3,418.0

Customer relationships

   17 -18 Years      1,871.0

Backlog

   1 - 6 Months      99.0
         

Total

      $ 5,576.0
         

The Group has allocated $3,418.0 million to trade names, primarily related to the Trane brand. Management considered many factors in the determination that it will account for the asset as an indefinite lived intangible asset, including the current market leadership position of the brand as well as recognition worldwide in the industry. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 350, indefinite-lived trade names will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present).

In addition, the Group assigned $26.0 million to in-process research and development assets that were expensed at the date of acquisition in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The expenses are included in administrative expenses.

The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to specific assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $5,525.8 million. The premium in the purchase price paid by the Group for the acquisition of Trane reflects the establishment of a business offering high value equipment, systems and services necessary for delivering solutions across the temperature spectrum for indoor, stationary and transport applications worldwide. The Group anticipates realizing significant operational and cost synergies. Anticipated synergies include purchase material savings through supplier rationalization and procurement leverage, improvement in manufacturing costs and lower administrative costs. Longer term, the Group expects to benefit from synergies related to service revenue expansion, leverage of distribution channels and cross selling through certain vertical markets.

In addition, Trane will be able to leverage the Group’s global footprint to enhance their historically U.S. based revenue generation. Lastly, the combined business will improve the Group’s highly regarded Hussmann and Thermo King brands with Trane’s position as a leader in the commercial and residential climate control industry. These combined factors primarily contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired.

The following unaudited pro forma information for the year ended 31 December 2008 assumes the acquisition of Trane occurred as of the beginning of the period presented:

For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group recognized a pre-tax, non-cash charge of $3.7 billion related to the impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived assets, which is reflected in the pro forma results presented above. For a further discussion of impairment related matters, see Note 9 in the consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have been achieved had the operations been combined during the periods presented, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results or trends.

9. ASSET IMPAIRMENT

The Group has significant goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets related to acquisitions. The Group’s goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or when there is a significant change in events circumstances that indicate that the fair value of an asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset.

2008 Impairment Test

Due to the deterioration in the worldwide equity and credit markets and a tightening of industrial and retail end markets in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Group’s market capitalization declined well below its book value. In addition, the weakening worldwide economic conditions resulted in the Group’s projected 2009 financial performance to decline. As a result, the Group updated its impairment testing through 31 December 2008.

The following table summarizes by reportable segment, the asset impairment charges taken during 2008:

 

     Goodwill

   Intangible

Total

   2,840.0    860.0    10.0    3,710.0
                   

Goodwill

Recoverability of goodwill impairment is measured at the reporting unit level and determined using a two step process. The first step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed, wherein the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent that the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value, impairment exists and must be recognized.

The calculation of estimated fair value is based on two valuation techniques, a discounted cash flow model (income approach) and a market adjusted multiple of earnings and revenues (market approach), with each method being equally weighted in the calculation. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit, as determined in the first step of the goodwill impairment test, was the price paid to acquire that reporting unit.

Based on the estimated fair value and book value of our reporting units, the Group recorded an impairment charge to goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2008 of approximately $2,840.0 million.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

Recoverability of other indefinite-lived intangible assets (i.e. trade names) is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the intangible assets to the estimated fair value of the respective intangible assets. Any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss equal to that excess.

The calculation of estimated fair value is determined on a relief from royalty methodology (income approach), which is based on the implied royalty paid, at an appropriate discount rate, to license the use of an asset rather than owning the asset. The present value of the after-tax cost savings (i.e. royalty relief) indicates the estimated fair value of the asset. Based on the estimated fair value and book value of our trade names, the Group recorded an impairment charge to certain trade names in the fourth quarter of 2008 of approximately $860.0 million.

Marketable Securities

Investments in marketable securities are recorded at cost and subsequently measured at fair value. These assets are periodically reviewed at the individual security level to determine if any decline in value is considered to be other than temporary.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Group determined that its investment in certain marketable securities was other than temporarily impaired by approximately $10.0 million. This analysis was based on the current trading value of the publicly listed marketable security in addition to other qualitative factors of the operating business environment in which the security is held.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

2009 Impairment Test

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Group performed its annual impairment test on goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. As a result, the Group determined that the fair value of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, no impairment charges were recorded during 2009.

During the first three quarters of 2008, the Group incurred costs of approximately $20 million associated with various restructuring activities as a part of an ongoing effort to increase efficiencies across multiple lines of business. In October 2008, the Group announced an enterprise-wide restructuring program necessitated by the severe economic downturn. This program included streamlining the footprint of manufacturing facilities and reducing the administrative cost base across all sectors of the Group. Projected costs totaled $110 million when the program was announced, of which $71 million was incurred during the fourth quarter of 2008.

During the year ended 31 December 2009, the Group expanded the scope of the restructuring program. Since the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2008, the Group has incurred approximately $182.1 million associated with these restructuring actions. As of 31 December 2009, the Group had $54.9 million accrued for workforce reductions and the consolidation of manufacturing facilities.

Restructuring actions taken in the Climate Solutions sector include the closure of one manufacturing facility in Asia and workforce reductions in all regions. As of 31 December 2009, the Climate Solutions sector had incurred approximately $87 million since the fourth quarter of 2008.

Restructuring actions taken in the Residential Solutions sector include general workforce reductions due to a revised organizational structure within the sector. As of 31 December 2009, the Residential Solutions sector had incurred approximately $19 million since the fourth quarter of 2008.

Restructuring actions taken in the Industrial Technologies sector include the consolidation of manufacturing facilities in the Americas and general workforce reductions across all regions. As of 31 December 2009, the Industrial Technologies sector had incurred approximately $32 million since the fourth quarter of 2008.

* Includes adjustments related to final purchase price allocation adjustments.

The Group records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Once the final valuation has been performed for each acquisition, adjustments may be recorded.

In June 2008, the Group acquired the Trane commercial HVAC business and the Trane residential HVAC businesses and recorded $5.5 billion of goodwill associated with the transaction. The results of the Trane commercial HVAC business are reported within the Climate Solutions segment and the Trane residential HVAC business is reported within the Residential Solutions segment. See Note 8 for a further discussion regarding goodwill associated with the acquisition of Trane.

As a result of the annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Group recognized a pre-tax, non-cash charge of $2,840.0 million related to the impairment of goodwill. The Group does not have any accumulated impairment losses subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” other than the amounts recorded in 2008. See Note 9 for a further discussion of impairment related matters.

 

44


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Group reduced its goodwill by approximately $37 million in the Climate Solutions and Residential Solutions segments related to the acquisition of Trane. These adjustments primarily relate to an overstatement of net deferred tax liabilities established during purchase accounting and represent accounting errors. The Group does not believe that the accounting errors are material to any of its previously issued financial statements and therefore, has not adjusted any prior period amounts.

At 31 December 2009, the Group had $5.0 billion of intangible assets. The Group amortizes intangible assets with finite useful lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization, but instead, are tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present). The following table sets forth the gross amount and accumulated amortization of the Group’s intangible assets, including goodwill, at 31 December 2009.

Intangible asset amortization expense for 2009 and 2008 was $156.4 million and $226.3 million, respectively. The increase in 2008 is attributable to the Group’s acquisition of Trane on 5 June 2008, which includes $125.0 million of non-recurring amortization expense related to the fair value allocation of purchase price to backlog and in-process research and development costs. The non-recurring amortization expense is included in Accumulated amortization and the associated gross asset is included in Other in the above table. See Note 8 for a further discussion on the acquisition of Trane.

Estimated amortization expense on existing intangible assets is approximately $163 million for each of the next five fiscal years.

17. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

In connection with the acquisition of Trane, the Group acquired Trane’s accounts receivable purchase agreement (the Trane Facility) in the U.S. As part of this Facility, Trane formed a special-purpose entity (SPE) for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables generated by Trane. Trane irrevocably and without recourse, transferred all eligible accounts receivable to the SPE, which, in turn, sold undivided ownership interests in them to a conduit administered by the participating bank. The assets of the SPE were not available to pay the claims of Trane or any of its subsidiaries.

The undivided interests in the receivables sold to the conduit as a part of the Trane Facility were removed from the balance sheet since they met the applicable criteria under U.S. GAAP. Trane’s interests in the receivables retained by the Group were recorded at its allocated carrying amount, less an appropriate reserve for doubtful accounts, in the balance sheet as of 31 December 2008. To the extent that the consideration received was less than the allocated carrying value of the receivables sold, losses were recognized at the time of sale.

On 31 March 2009, the Group entered into new accounts receivable purchase agreements (the Expanded IR Facility), to expand the existing accounts receivable purchase agreement. The Expanded IR Facility superseded the Trane Facility. As of 31 December 2009, there are no interests in the receivables retained by the Group related to the Trane Facility.

Under the Expanded IR Facility, the Group continuously sold, through certain consolidated special purpose vehicles, designated pools of eligible trade receivables to an affiliated master special purpose vehicle (MSPV) which, in turn, sold undivided ownership interests to three conduits administered by unaffiliated financial institutions.

The maximum purchase limit of the three conduits was $325.0 million. The Group paid commitment fees on the aggregate amount of the liquidity commitments of the financial institutions under the facility (which was 102% of the maximum purchase limit) and an additional program fee on the aggregate amounts purchased under the facility by the conduits to the extent funded through the issuance of commercial paper or other securities.

The MSPV was not designed to be a qualifying SPE since the MSPV transferred assets representing undivided ownership interests in the accounts receivables it held to the conduits. The Company concluded that the MSPV was a variable interest entity (VIE) whereby the Company was deemed the primary beneficiary and subsequently consolidated the MSPV. Accordingly, accounts receivable balances were not removed from the balance sheet until the undivided ownership interests were sold to the conduits. The remaining trade receivables transferred into the MSPV but not sold to the conduits remained in debtors. The interests in the receivables retained by the Group were exposed to the first risk of loss for any uncollectible

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

amounts in the receivables sold under the facility. The Group provided no other forms of continued financial support related to the undivided interests transferred to the conduits. Although the special purpose vehicles were consolidated by the Group, they were separate corporate entities with their assets legally isolated from the Group and thus not available to satisfy claims of the Group.

The following is a summary of receivables sold to the financing facilities:

Net balance of interest in the receivables retained

   544.2    83.6

Net interests sold to conduits

   —      62.8

At 31 December 2009, the outstanding balance of eligible trade receivables sold to the MSPV was $544.2 million. However, no net interests have been sold to any of the three conduits administered by unaffiliated financial institutions.

The Group serviced, administered and collected the receivables on behalf of the MSPV and the conduits and received a servicing fee of 0.75% per annum on the outstanding balance of the serviced receivables. As the Group estimated that the fee it received from the conduits, including other ancillary fees received, were adequate compensation for its obligation to service these receivables, the fair value was zero and no servicing assets or liabilities were recognized.

During the year ended 31 December 2009, the Group recorded a cash outflow of approximately $63 million within cash flow from operations, which represented the decrease in the net interests in the receivables sold to the conduits. The Group records as a loss on sale the difference between the receivables sold and net cash proceeds received. The loss on sale recorded for the years ended 31 December 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

Commercial Paper Program

The Group uses borrowings under our commercial paper program for general corporate purposes. As of 31 December 2009, the Group had no outstanding commercial paper borrowings after paying down $998.7 million during 2009. The Group funded these payments primarily using cash generated from operations.

Senior Unsecured Bridge Loan Facility

In connection with the Trane acquisition, the Group entered into a $3.9 billion senior unsecured bridge loan facility, with a 364-day term. The Group drew down $2.95 billion against the bridge loan facility in June 2008. The proceeds, along with cash on hand and the issuance of $1.5 billion of commercial paper, were used to fund the cash component of the consideration paid for the acquisition as well as to pay related fees and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition.

In addition, the Group repaid $2.0 billion of the outstanding balance of the bridge loan facility during the third quarter of 2008. The Group used a combination of cash flows from operations and cash on hand, in addition to the $1.6 billion in proceeds received from the issuance of long-term debt. As of 31 December 2008, the outstanding balance of the senior unsecured bridge loan facility was $754 million after a $196 million payment in the fourth quarter of 2008. In the first quarter of 2009, the Group borrowed an additional $196 million under the facility, increasing the outstanding balance to $950.0 million as of 31 March 2009. The Group repaid the outstanding balance in April 2009 with proceeds from the long-term debt issuance as discussed below and terminated the facility.

Debentures with Put Feature

At 31 December 2008, the Group had outstanding $345.7 million of fixed rate debentures which only requires early repayment at the option of the holder. These debentures contain a put feature that the holders may exercise on each anniversary of the issuance date. If exercised, the Group is obligated to repay in whole or in part, at the holder’s option, the outstanding principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest) of the debentures held by the holder. If these options are not exercised, the final maturity dates would range between 2027 and 2028.

In 2009, holders of these debentures chose to exercise the put feature on $2.1 million of the remaining debentures. As a result, the Group had $343.6 million debentures outstanding at 31 December 2009.

Senior Notes Due 2014

In April 2009, the Company issued $655 million of 9.5% Senior Notes through its wholly owned subsidiary, IR-Global. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of IR-Ireland, IR-Limited and IR-International, another wholly owned indirect subsidiary of IR-Limited. Interest on the fixed rate notes will be paid twice a year in arrears. The Group has the option to redeem them in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time, prior to their stated maturity date at redemption prices set forth in the indenture agreement. The notes are subject to certain customary covenants, however, none of these covenants are considered restrictive to the Group’s operations.

Exchangeable Senior Notes Due 2012

In April 2009, the Company issued $345 million of 4.5% Exchangeable Senior Notes through its wholly owned subsidiary, IR-Global. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of IR-Ireland, IR-Limited and IR-International. Interest on the exchangeable notes will be paid twice a year in arrears. Holders may exchange their notes at their option prior to November 15, 2011 in accordance with specified circumstances set forth in the indenture agreement or anytime on or after November 15, 2011 through their scheduled maturity in April 2012. Upon exchange, the notes will be paid in cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be exchanged, the remainder due on the option feature, if any, will be paid in cash, the Company’s ordinary shares or a combination thereof at the option of the Group. The notes are subject to certain customary covenants, however, none of these covenants are considered restrictive to the Group’s operations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Group allocated approximately $305 million of the gross proceeds to debt, with the remaining discount of approximately $40 million (approximately $39 million after allocated fees) recorded within equity. Additionally, the Group will amortize the discount into earnings over a three-year period.

Other Debt

In August 2008, the Group filed a universal shelf registration statement with the SEC for an indeterminate amount of securities for future issuance and issued $1.6 billion of long-term debt pursuant to the shelf registration statement. This issuance consisted of $250 million Senior Floating Rate Notes due in 2010, $600 million 6.000% Senior Notes due in 2013 and $750 million 6.875% Senior Notes due in 2018. These notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by IR-Limited, which directly owns 100% of the subsidiary issuer, IR-Global. The net proceeds from the offering were used to partially reduce the amount outstanding under the senior unsecured bridge loan facility.

At 31 December 2008, the Group’s committed revolving credit facilities totaled $3.0 billion, of which $750 million expired in June 2009, and was not renewed. At 31 December 2009, the Group’s committed revolving credit facilities totaled $2.25 billion, of which $1.25 billion expires in August 2010 and $1.0 billion expires in June 2011. These lines are unused and provide support for the Group’s commercial paper program as well as for other general corporate purposes. In addition, other available non-U.S. lines of credit were $993.3 million, of which $823.9 million were unused at 31 December 2009. These lines provide support for bank guarantees, letters of credit and other general corporate purposes.

Modifications Relating to the Reorganization

In connection with the Ireland Reorganization discussed in Note 2, on 1 July 2009 at 12:01 A.M. (the Transaction Time), IR-Limited completed the transfer of all the outstanding shares of IR-Global to IR-International, whereupon IR-International assumed the obligations of IR-Limited as an issuer or guarantor, as the case may be, under the indentures governing the Group’s outstanding notes, medium-term notes and debentures. IR-Ireland and IR-Limited also fully and unconditionally guarantee the payment obligations of IR-International, IR-Global and Ingersoll-Rand Company (IR-New Jersey), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of IR-Limited incorporated in New Jersey, as the case may be, as the issuers of debt securities under these indentures. Neither IR-Ireland nor IR-Limited intends to issue guarantees in respect of any indebtedness incurred by Trane. In addition, any securities issued by the Group that were convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Class A common shares of IR-Limited became convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, as the case may be, into the ordinary shares of IR-Ireland.

On 1 July 2009, IR-Global amended and restated its commercial paper program (the Commercial Paper Program) pursuant to which IR-Global may issue, on a private placement basis, unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $2.25 billion. Under the Commercial Paper Program, IR-Global may issue notes from time to time, and the proceeds of the financing will be used for general corporate purposes. Each of IR-Ireland, IR-Limited and IR-International has provided an irrevocable and unconditional guarantee for the notes issued under the Commercial Paper Program.

Pursuant to the terms of the credit facility entered into on 12 August 2005 and our credit facility entered into on 27 June 2008 (the Credit Facilities), at the Transaction Time, IR-Ireland and IR-International became guarantors to such Credit Facilities. In connection therewith, IR-Ireland and IR-International entered into Addendums on 1 July 2009 to become parties to the Credit Facilities.

22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Group uses various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, to manage risks associated with interest rate, currency rate, commodity price and share-based compensation exposures. These financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes.

On the date a derivative contract is entered into, the Group designates the derivative instrument either as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, a cash flow hedge of a recognized asset or liability, or as an undesignated derivative. The Group formally documents its hedge relationships, including identification of the derivative instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivative instruments that are designated as hedges to specific assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions.

 

51


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Group also assesses both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in cash flow hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of a derivative instrument’s change in fair value is recorded in the profit and loss account in the period of change. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the hedging relationship will be undesignated and any future gains and losses on the derivative instrument would be recorded in the profit and loss account.

The fair market value of derivative instruments are determined through market-based valuations and may not be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be recorded when these instruments mature due to future fluctuations in the markets in which they are traded.

Currency and Commodity Hedging Instruments

The notional amounts of the Group’s currency derivatives, excluding the cross currency swap described below, were $884.8 million and $920.4 million at 31 December 2009 and 2008, respectively. At 31 December 2009 and 2008, a loss of $1.5 million and a gain of $7.6 million, net of tax, respectively, were included in other reserves related to the fair value of the Group’s currency derivatives designated as accounting hedges. The amount expected to be reclassified into the profit and loss account over the next twelve months is $1.5 million. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to the profit and loss account may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions. Gains and losses associated with the Group’s currency derivatives not designated as hedges are recorded in the profit and loss account as changes in fair value occur. At 31 December 2009, the maximum term of the Group’s currency derivatives was 12 months.

As a result of the acquisition of Trane in June 2008, the Group assumed a cross currency swap that fixed in U.S. dollars, the currency cash flows on the £60.0 million 8.25% senior notes. These notes matured on June 1, 2009 along with the cross currency swap. The cross currency swap met the criteria to be accounted for as a foreign currency cash flow hedge, which allowed for deferral of any associated gains or losses within other reserves until settlement. The deferred gain remaining in other reserves related to the cross currency swap was released into the profit and loss account upon maturity.

The Group had no commodity derivatives outstanding as of 31 December 2009. The notional amount of the Group’s commodity derivatives was $21.3 million at 31 December 2008. During 2008, the Group discontinued the use of hedge accounting for the commodity hedges at which time the Group recognized into the profit and loss account all deferred gains and losses related to the commodity hedges at the time of discontinuance. All further gains and losses associated with the Group’s commodity derivatives were recorded in the profit and loss account as changes in fair value occurred.

Other Hedging Instruments

During the third quarter of 2008, the Group entered into interest rate locks for the forecasted issuance of approximately $1.4 billion of Senior Notes due in 2013 and 2018. These interest rate locks met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges of a forecasted transaction. Consequently, the changes in fair value of the interest rate locks were deferred in other reserves.

No further gain or loss will be deferred in other reserves related to these interest rate locks as the contracts were effectively terminated upon issuance of the underlying debt. However, the amount of other reserves associated with these interest rate locks at the time of termination will be recognized into interest expense over the term of the notes. At 31 December 2009 and 2008, $12.6 million and $14.4 million, respectively, of deferred losses remained in other reserves related to these interest rate locks. The amount expected to be reclassified into interest expense over the next twelve months is $1.8 million.

In March 2005, the Group entered into interest rate locks for the forecasted issuance of $300 million of Senior Notes due 2015. These interest rate locks met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges of a forecasted transaction. Consequently, the changes in fair value of the interest rate locks were deferred in other reserves. No further gain or loss will be deferred in other reserves related to these interest rate locks as the contracts were effectively terminated upon issuance of the underlying debt. However, the amount of other reserves associated with these interest rate locks at the time of termination will be recognized into interest expense over the term of the notes. At 31 December 2009 and 2008, $6.5 million and $7.6 million, respectively, of deferred losses remained in other reserves related to these interest rate locks. The amount expected to be reclassified into interest expense over the next twelve months is $1.1 million.

* The gains and losses associated with the Group’s undesignated currency derivatives are materially offset in the consolidated profit and loss account by changes in the fair value of the underlying transactions.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The counterparties to the Group’s forward contracts consist of a number of investment grade major international financial institutions. The Group could be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. However, credit ratings of and concentration of risk in these financial institutions is monitored on a continuous basis and present no significant credit risk to the Group.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash at bank and in hand, debtors, short-term borrowings and creditors are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

23. PENSIONS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

Pension Plans

The Group has noncontributory pension plans covering substantially all non-Trane U.S. employees and maintains a pension plan for non-collectively bargained U.S. employees of Trane, whereby eligible employees may elect to participate and receive a credit equal to 3% of eligible pay. Effective 1 January 2010, non-collectively bargained U.S. employees of Trane began to participate in the Group’s main pension plan for U.S. non-collectively bargained employees. In addition, the Group maintains pension plans for Trane U.S. collectively bargained employees. Certain non-U.S. employees in other countries, including Trane employees, are covered by pension plans.

Most of the Group’s pension plans for U.S. non-collectively bargained employees provided benefits on a final average pay formula. The Group’s U.S. collectively bargained pension plans, including those covering employees of Trane, generally provide benefits based on a flat benefit formula. Generally, non-U.S. plans provide benefits based on earnings and years of service. The Group maintains additional other supplemental benefit plans for officers and other key employees.

 

53


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Group utilizes qualified actuaries to value its pension plans. For plans which require funding, the most recent valuations for funding purposes were at 1 January 2009 or in accordance with local statutory requirements and are available for inspection by the scheme members but not for public inspection.

Full actuarial valuations, on which the amounts recognized in the financial statements are based, were carried out at 31 December 2009.

In 2008, the Group adopted the measurement date provision of ASC 715 which required the measurement of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the year-end financial statements. The Group recorded a one-time after-tax pension charge of $1.2 million to profit and loss account ($1.8 million pre-tax) as a result of changing the measurement date from 30 November to 31 December.

As a result of the acquisition of Trane in the second quarter of 2008, the Group assumed net obligations of $67.7 million, which consisted of noncurrent pension assets of $1.4 million and current and noncurrent pension benefit liabilities of $69.1 million.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

It is the Group’s objective to contribute to the pension plans to ensure adequate funds are available in the plans to make benefit payments to plan participants and beneficiaries when required. However, certain plans are not or cannot be funded due to either legal or tax requirements in certain jurisdictions. As of 31 December 2009, approximately six percent of our projected benefit obligation relates to plans that cannot be funded.

Pension expense for 2010 is projected to be approximately $167 million, utilizing the assumptions for calculating the pension benefit obligations at the end of 2009. The amounts expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during the year ended 2010 for the net transition obligation, prior service cost and plan net actuarial losses are $0.1 million, $8.8 million and $56.9 million, respectively.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects the average rate of returns expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on what is achievable given the plan’s investment policy, the types of assets held and target asset allocations. The expected long-term rate of return is determined as of the measurement date. The Group reviews each plan and its historical returns and target asset allocations to determine the appropriate expected long-term rate of return on plan assets to be used.

The Group’s investment objectives in managing its defined benefit plan assets are to ensure that present and future benefit obligations to all participants and beneficiaries are met as they become due; to provide a total return that, over the long-term, minimizes required Group contributions, at the appropriate levels of risk; and to meet any statutory and regulatory requirements. Key investment management decisions reviewed regularly are asset allocations and investment manager performance. Asset/liability modeling (ALM) studies are used as the basis for global asset allocation decisions and are updated as required.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Based on ALM studies, the Group has set its target strategic global asset allocations for its plans to be broadly 40% equities and 60% debt and real estate. Asset allocations are reviewed at least quarterly and appropriate adjustments are made as necessary.

The Group made contributions to its pension plans of $113.5 million in 2009 and $64.1 million in 2008. The Group currently projects that it will contribute approximately $85 million to its plans worldwide in 2010. The Group’s policy allows it to fund an amount, which could be in excess of or less than the pension cost expensed, subject to the limitations imposed by current tax regulations. The Group anticipates funding the plans in 2010 in accordance with contributions required by funding regulations or the laws of each jurisdiction.

 

57


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Most of the Group’s U.S. employees are covered by savings and other defined contribution plans. Employer contributions are determined based on criteria specific to the individual plans and amounted to approximately $86.0 million (including $50.6 million for Trane plans) and $78.8 million (including $43.5 million for Trane plans) in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Group’s contributions relating to non-U.S. defined contribution plans and other non-U.S. benefit plans were $19.5 million (including $1.7 million for Trane plans), $16.3 million (including $3.8 million for Trane plans) in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

The Group sponsors several postretirement plans that cover certain eligible employees, including certain Trane employees since the Acquisition Date. These plans provide for health-care benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits. Postretirement health plans generally are contributory and contributions are adjusted annually. Generally, life insurance plans for retirees are primarily noncontributory. The Group funds the postretirement benefit costs principally on a pay-as-you-go basis.

In 2008, the Group adopted the measurement date provision of ASC 715 which required the measurement of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the year-end financial statements. The Group recorded a one-time after-tax charge for postretirement benefits of $2.5 million to the profit and loss account ($4.7 million pre-tax) as a result of changing the measurement date from 30 November to 31 December.

As a result of the acquisition of Trane in the second quarter of 2008, the Group assumed unfunded obligations for retirement benefits other than pensions in the amount of $268.9 million.

24. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The Group adopted this provision of ASC 820 on 1 January 2008. However, the Group has delayed its implementation of the provision of ASC 820 for the fair value of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and nonfinancial long-lived assets as allowed under U.S. GAAP. The fair value hierarchy outlined in ASC 820 is comprised of three levels that are described below:

 

   

Level 1 – Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

   

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at 31 December 2009 were as follows:

See Note 23 for disclosure of fair value measurements related to the Group’s pension assets.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Group determines the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:

 

   

Cash at bank and in hand – These amounts include cash on hand, demand deposits and all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less and are held in U.S and non-U.S. currencies.

 

60


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

   

Marketable securities – These securities include investments in publically traded stock of non-U.S. companies held by non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Group. The fair value is obtained for the securities based on observable market prices quoted on public stock exchanges.

 

   

Derivatives instruments – These instruments include forward contracts related to non-U.S. currencies. The fair value of the derivative instruments are determined based on a pricing model that uses inputs from actively quoted currency markets that are readily accessible and observable.

 

   

Benefit trust assets – These assets include money market funds and insurance contracts that are the underlying for the benefit assets. The fair value of the assets is based on observable market prices quoted in a readily accessible and observable market.

 

   

Benefit liabilities – These liabilities include deferred compensation and executive death benefits. The fair value is based on the underlying investment portfolio of the deferred compensation and the specific benefits guaranteed in a death benefit contract with each executive.

Effective 1 January 2008, the Group also adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (ASC 825) that allow companies the option, at specified election dates, to measure financial assets and liabilities at their current fair value, with the corresponding changes in fair value from period to period recognized in the income statement. Additionally, ASC 825 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. As of 31 December 2009, the Group has not elected to utilize the fair value option on any of its financial assets or liabilities.

25. SHARE CAPITAL

Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited, a Bermuda Company (IR-Limited), was the successor to Ingersoll-Rand Company, a New Jersey Company (IR-New Jersey) following a corporate reorganization that became effective on 31 December 2001 (the Bermuda Reorganization). Upon consummation, the shares of IR-New Jersey common stock were cancelled and all previous holders were issued IR-Limited Class A common shares. The Bermuda Reorganization was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and accordingly, did not result in any changes to the consolidated amounts of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

Ingersoll-Rand plc, an Irish public limited company (IR-Ireland), is the successor to IR-Limited, following a corporate reorganization that became effective on 1 July 2009 (the Ireland Reorganization). Upon consummation, the shares of IR-Limited Class A common shares were cancelled and all previous holders were issued IR-Ireland ordinary shares. The Ireland Reorganization was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and accordingly, did not result in any changes to the consolidated amounts of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity. See Note 2 for a further discussion of the Ireland Reorganization.

Called up share capital

The authorized share capital of IR-Ireland is $1,175,010,000, consisting of (1) 1,175,000,000 ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share, and (2) 10,000,000 preference shares, par value $0.001 per share. No preference shares were outstanding at 31 December 2009 or 2008. Ordinary shares issued at 31 December 2009 and 2008 were 320,616,056 and 370,813,037, respectively, net of 26,074 and 52,020,439 shares owned by a subsidiary at 31 December 2009 and 2008, respectively.

At 31 December 2009, a reconciliation of ordinary shares is as follows:

Treasury Stock

The Group treats ordinary shares of the parent owned by a subsidiary as treasury stock. These shares are recorded at cost and included in the shareholders’ equity section. As a result of the acquisition of Trane in June 2008, the Group issued 45.4 million IR-Limited Class A common shares to fund the equity portion of the consideration. In June 2009, IR-Limited

 

61


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

cancelled the remaining 52.0 million shares (representing 14% of outstanding shares at the time of cancellation) in anticipation of the Ireland Reorganization that became effective on 1 July 2009. At 31 December 2009, a subsidiary of the Company held 26,074 ordinary shares in trust for a deferred compensation plan. These ordinary shares have been reflected as treasury shares in the consolidated balance sheet.

26. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Group records share-based compensation awards using a fair value method and recognizes compensation expense for an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment issued in its consolidated financial statements.

On 3 June 2009, the shareholders of the Company approved the amendment and restatement of the Incentive Stock Plan of 2007, which authorizes the Company to issue stock options and other share-based incentives. As a result, the total number of shares authorized by the shareholders was increased to 27.0 million, of which 15.0 million remains available as of 31 December 2009 for future incentive awards.

Modifications Relating to the Reorganization

In connection with the Ireland Reorganization discussed in Note 2, on 1 July 2009, IR-Ireland assumed the existing obligations of IR-Limited under the equity incentive plans and other similar employee award plans of Ingersoll Rand (collectively, the Plans), including all awards issued thereunder. Furthermore, the Plans were amended by IR-Limited to provide (1) that ordinary shares of IR-Ireland will be issued, held available or used to measure benefits as appropriate under the Plans, in lieu of the Class A common shares of IR-Limited, including upon exercise of any options or share appreciation rights or upon the vesting of restricted stock units or performance units issued under those Plans; and (2) for the appropriate substitution of IR-Ireland for IR-Limited in those Plans. There were no other changes to the terms of the Incentive Plans relating to the Reorganization.

Stock Options / Restricted Stock Units

On 12 February 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change to the Group’s equity grant approach whereby options are no longer used as the predominant equity vehicle for eligible participants; instead a mix of options and restricted stock units (RSUs) are utilized. The RSUs vest ratably over three years and any accrued dividends will be paid in cash at the time of vesting. As a result of this change, eligible participants received (i) stock options, (ii) RSUs or (iii) a combination of both stock options and RSUs under the Company’s Incentive Stock Plan of 2007.

The average fair value of the stock options granted for the year ended 31 December 2009 and 2008 was estimated to be $5.82 per share and $11.56 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used:

 

     2009     2008  

Dividend yield

   1.97   1.58

Volatility

   43.19   31.48

Risk-free rate of return

   1.76   2.95

Expected life

   5.10 years      5.36 years   

The fair value of each of the Company’s stock option awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally the three-year vesting period of the options. However, for options granted to retirement eligible employees, the Group recognizes expense for the fair value of the options at the grant date. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility from traded options on the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Historical data is used to estimate forfeitures within the Group’s valuation model. The Group’s expected life of the stock option awards is derived from historical experience and represents the period of time that awards are expected to be outstanding.

At 31 December 2009, there was $28.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost from stock option arrangements granted under the plan, which is related to unvested shares of non-retirement eligible employees. This compensation will be recognized over the required service period, which is generally the three-year vesting period. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended 31 December 2009 and 2008 was $16.5 million and $9.2 million, respectively.

Generally, stock options vest ratably over a three-year period from their date of grant and expire at the end of ten years.

On 12 February 2009, the Company granted annual RSU awards. The fair value of each of the Company’s RSU awards is measured as the grant-date price of the Company’s shares and is expensed on a straight-line basis over the three year vesting period. For RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees, the Group recognizes expense for the fair value of the RSUs at the grant date. RSUs vest ratably over a three-year period.

Note: The Group did not grant SARS during 2008 and 2009 and does not anticipate further granting in the future.

Performance Shares

The Group has a Performance Share Program (PSP) for key employees. The program provides awards based on performance against pre-established objectives. The target award level is expressed as a number of the Company’s ordinary shares. All PSP awards are settled in the form of ordinary shares.

On 12 February 2009, the Compensation Committee determined the PSP awards for the performance year 2008. In doing so, primary emphasis was placed on financial objectives in light of the current economic environment. The 2008 PSP awards have a one-year vesting period.

On 4 October 2008, the Compensation Committee approved certain changes to the Group’s long-term incentive compensation programs to be implemented beginning with the 2009 performance year. Under these changes, the performance period under the Group’s PSP Program was changed from one year to three years starting with year 2009 in order to increase the long-term nature of incentive compensation for PSP participants. In addition, these PSP awards are based on the Company’s relative EPS growth as compared to the industrial group of companies in the S&P 500 Index over the three-year performance period. To transition between the previous one-year PSP program and the revised three year PSP program, there is a one-time PSP award with a two-year performance period for 2009 through 2010, which is based on the Company’s EPS growth relative to the industrial group of companies in the S&P 500 Index and the publicly announced Trane acquisition synergy savings.

Deferred Compensation

The Group allows key employees to defer a portion of their eligible compensation into a number of investment choices, including ordinary share equivalents. Any amounts invested in ordinary share equivalents will be settled in ordinary shares at the time of distribution.

Other Plans

The Group maintains a shareholder-approved Management Incentive Unit Award Plan. Under the plan, participating key employees were awarded incentive units. When dividends are paid on ordinary shares, phantom dividends are awarded to unit holders, one-half of which is paid in cash, the remaining half of which is credited to the participants’ accounts in the form of ordinary share equivalents. The value of the actual incentive units is never paid to participants, and only the fair value of accumulated ordinary share equivalents is paid in cash upon the participants’ retirement. The number of ordinary share equivalents credited to participants’ accounts at 31 December 2009 is 109,480.

Tax incentives, in the form of tax holidays, have been granted in certain jurisdictions to encourage industrial development. The expiration of these tax holidays varies by country. The most significant tax holiday relates to the Group’s qualifying locations in Ireland, which were granted a 10% tax rate through 2010. The benefit for the tax holidays for the year ended 31 December 2009 and 2008 was $1.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

In connection with Trane’s spin-off of WABCO, Trane and WABCO entered into a tax sharing agreement for the allocation of pre spin-off taxes. Of the total unrecognized tax benefit of $525.1 million at 31 December 2009, WABCO has agreed to indemnify Trane for $28.3 million, which is reflected in another long-term receivable account.

The Group records interest and penalties associated with the uncertain tax positions within its Taxation expense. The Group had provisions associated with interest and penalties, net of tax, of $80.3 million and $91.3 million at 31 December 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the years ended 31 December 2009 and 2008, the Group recognized $6.3 million and $20.7 million, respectively, in interest and penalties net of tax related to these uncertain tax positions.

It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could change within 12 months as a result of settlements of ongoing tax examinations resulting in a decrease of approximately $8.2 million in the unrecognized tax benefits.

The provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Group. In addition, tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Group and can raise issues regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income or deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Group operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. In the normal course of business the Group is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Brazil, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and the United States. In general, the examination of the Group’s material tax returns is completed for the years prior to 2000, with certain matters being resolved through appeals and litigation.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed the examination of the Group’s federal income tax returns through the 2000 tax year and has issued a notice proposing adjustments. The principal proposed adjustment relates to the disallowance of certain capital losses. In order to reduce the potential interest expense associated with this matter, the Group

 

67


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

made a payment of $217 million in the third quarter of 2007, which reduced the Group’s total liability for uncertain tax positions by $141 million. Similarly, during the third quarter of 2008, the Group made an additional payment of $55.1 million related to a potential penalty assessment plus accrued interest on this matter. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Group reached a settlement of this matter with the IRS which resulted in no additional payments or charges.

On 20 July 2007, the Group received a notice from the IRS containing proposed adjustments to the Group’s tax filings in connection with an audit of the 2001 and 2002 tax years. The IRS did not contest the validity of the Group’s reincorporation in Bermuda. The most significant adjustments proposed by the IRS involve treating the entire intercompany debt incurred in connection with the Group’s reincorporation in Bermuda as equity. As a result of this recharacterization, the IRS disallowed the deduction of interest paid on the debt and imposed dividend withholding taxes on the payments denominated as interest. The IRS also asserted an alternative argument to be applied if the intercompany debt is respected as debt. In that circumstance the IRS proposed to ignore the entities that hold the debt and to which the interest was paid and impose 30% withholding tax on a portion of the interest payments as if they were made directly to a company that was not eligible for reduced U.S withholding tax under a U.S income tax treaty. The IRS asserted under this alternative theory that the Group owes additional taxes with respect to 2002 of approximately $84 million plus interest. If either of these positions were upheld in their entirety the Group would be required to record additional charges. The Group strongly disagreed with the view of the IRS and filed a protest with the IRS in the third quarter of 2007.

On 12 January 2010, the Group received an amended notice from the IRS eliminating its assertion that the intercompany debt incurred in connection with the Group’s reincorporation in Bermuda should be treated as equity. However, the IRS continues to assert the alternative position described above and proposes adjustments to the Group’s 2001 and 2002 tax filings. In addition, the IRS provided notice on 19 January 2010, that it is assessing penalties of 30% on the asserted underpayment of tax described above.

The Group has and intends to continue to vigorously contest these proposed adjustments. The Group, in consultation with its outside advisors, carefully considered the form and substance of the Group’s intercompany financing arrangements including the actions necessary to qualify for the benefits of the applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Group believes that these financing arrangements are in accordance with the laws of the relevant jurisdictions including the U.S., that the entities involved should be respected and that the interest payments qualify for the U.S income tax treaty benefits claimed.

Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based upon an analysis of the strength of its position, the Group believes that it is adequately reserved for this matter. As the Group moves forward to resolve this matter with the IRS, it is reasonably possible that the provisions established may be adjusted within the next 12 months. However, the Group does not expect that the ultimate resolution will have a material adverse impact on its future results of operations or financial position. At this time, the IRS has not proposed any similar adjustments for years subsequent to 2002. However, if all or a portion of these adjustments proposed by the IRS are ultimately sustained, it is likely to also affect subsequent tax years.

The Group believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of any tax disputes, but will adjust its provisions if events so dictate in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Group, the effect will be recorded in the provision for income taxes.

During 2009, the Group identified certain accounting errors associated with its previously reported income tax balance sheet accounts. The Group corrected these errors in 2009, which resulted in a tax benefit for the year of $13 million recorded to continuing operations, of which $10 million was recorded in the fourth quarter, and a tax charge for the year of $29 million recorded to discontinued operations. The Group does not believe that the accounting errors are material to 2009 or to any of its previously issued financial statements. As a result, the Group did not adjust any prior period amounts.

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2009, the Group recorded to continuing operations a tax charge of approximately $54 million (net of federal benefit) associated with increasing its deferred tax asset valuation allowances for state net operating losses. In addition, the Group wrote-off foreign tax credit carry forwards and recorded a tax charge of $42 million in the third quarter of 2009.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing profit for the financial year attributable to Ingersoll-Rand plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic EPS calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, which in the Group’s case, includes shares issuable under share-based compensation plans and the effects of the Exchangeable Senior Notes issued in April 2009. The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

31. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Group is involved in various litigations, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental and product liability matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, management believes that the liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Group.

Environmental Matters

The Group continues to be dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, the Group is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities.

The Group is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. It has also been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. For all such sites, there are other PRPs and, in most instances, the Group’s involvement is minimal.

In estimating its liability, the Group has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based generally on the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future.

During 2009, we spent $10.8 million for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by us. As of 31 December 2009 and 2008, the Group has recorded provisions for environmental matters of $93.3 million and $100.9 million, respectively. The Group believes that these expenditures and accrual levels will continue and may increase over time. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.

Asbestos Matters

Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Group are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits, a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants. The vast majority of those claims has been filed against either IR-New Jersey or Trane and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain historical products sold by IR-New Jersey or Trane, primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. Neither IR-New Jersey nor Trane was a producer or manufacturer of asbestos, however, some formerly manufactured products utilized asbestos-containing components such as gaskets and packings purchased from third-party suppliers.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2007, the Group recorded a liability (which it periodically updated) for its actual and anticipated future asbestos settlement costs projected seven years into the future. The Group did not record a liability for future asbestos settlement costs beyond the seven-year period covered by its provision because such costs previously were not reasonably estimable for the reasons detailed below.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Group again reviewed its history and experience with asbestos-related litigation and determined that it had now become possible to make a reasonable estimate of its total liability for pending and unasserted potential future asbestos-related claims. This determination was based upon the Group’s analysis of developments in asbestos litigation, including the substantial and continuing decline in the filing of non-malignancy claims against the Group, the establishment in many jurisdictions of inactive or deferral dockets for such claims, the decreased value of non-malignancy claims because of changes in the legal and judicial treatment of such claims, increasing focus of the asbestos litigation upon malignancy claims, primarily those involving mesothelioma, a cancer with a known historical and predictable future annual incidence rate, and the Group’s substantial accumulated experience with respect to the resolution of malignancy claims, particularly mesothelioma claims, filed against it.

Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Group retained Dr. Thomas Vasquez of Analysis, Research & Planning Corporation (collectively, “ARPC”) to assist it in calculating an estimate of the Group’s total liability for pending and unasserted future asbestos-related claims. ARPC is a respected expert in performing complex calculations such as this. ARPC has been involved in many asbestos-related valuations of current and future liabilities, and its valuation methodologies have been accepted by numerous courts.

The methodology used by ARPC to project the Group’s total liability for pending and unasserted potential future asbestos-related claims relied upon and included the following factors, among others:

 

   

ARPC’s interpretation of a widely accepted forecast of the population likely to have been occupationally exposed to asbestos;

 

   

epidemiological studies estimating the number of people likely to develop asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma and lung cancer;

 

   

the Group’s historical experience with the filing of non-malignancy claims against it and the historical ratio between the numbers of non-malignancy and lung cancer claims filed against the Group;

   

ARPC’s analysis of the number of people likely to file an asbestos-related personal injury claim against the Group based on such epidemiological and historical data and the Group’s most recent three-year claims history;

 

   

an analysis of the Group’s pending cases, by type of disease claimed;

 

   

an analysis of the Group’s most recent three-year history to determine the average settlement and resolution value of claims, by type of disease claimed;

 

   

an adjustment for inflation in the future average settlement value of claims, at a 2.5% annual inflation rate, adjusted downward to 1.5% to take account of the declining value of claims resulting from the aging of the claimant population;

 

   

an analysis of the period over which the Group has and is likely to resolve asbestos-related claims against it in the future.

Based on these factors, ARPC calculated a total estimated liability of $755 million for the Group to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future claims through 2053, which is ARPC’s reasonable best estimate of the time it will take to resolve asbestos-related claims. This amount is on a pre-tax basis, not discounted for the time-value of money, and excludes the Group’s defense fees (which will continue to be expensed by the Group as they are incurred). After considering ARPC’s analysis and the factors listed above, in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Group increased its recorded liability for asbestos claims by $538 million, from $217 million to $755 million.

 

72


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2007, the Group recorded an $89 million increase in its assets for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries to $250 million. This represents amounts due to the Group for previously paid and settled claims and the probable reimbursements relating to its estimated liability for pending and future claims. In calculating this amount, the Group used the estimated asbestos liability for pending and projected future claims calculated by ARPC. It also considered the amount of insurance available, gaps in coverage, allocation methodologies, solvency ratings and creditworthiness of the insurers, the amounts already recovered from and the potential for settlements with insurers, and the terms of existing settlement agreements with insurers.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Group recorded a non-cash charge to earnings of discontinued operations of $449 million ($277 million after-tax), which is the difference between the amount by which the Group increased its total estimated liability for pending and projected future asbestos-related claims and the amount that the Group expects to recover from insurers with respect to that increased liability.

In connection with our acquisition of Trane, the Group requested ARPC to assist in calculating Trane’s asbestos-related valuations of current and future liabilities. As required by U.S. GAAP the Group is required to record the assumed asbestos obligations and associated insurance-related assets at their fair value at the Acquisition Date. The Group estimated that the assumed asbestos obligation and associated insurance-related assets at the Acquisition Date to be $494 million and $249 million, respectively. These amounts were estimated based on certain assumptions and factors consistent with those described above.

Trane continues to be in litigation against certain carriers whose policies it believes provide coverage for asbestos claims. The insurance carriers named in this suit have challenged Trane’s right to recovery. Trane filed the action in April 1999 in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County, against various primary and lower layer excess insurance carriers, seeking coverage for environmental claims (the “NJ Litigation”). The NJ Litigation was later expanded to also seek coverage for asbestos-related liabilities from twenty-one primary and lower layer excess carriers and underwriting syndicates. The environmental claims against the insurers in the NJ Litigation have been resolved or dismissed without prejudice for later resolution. On 19 September 2005, the court granted Trane’s motion to add claims for insurance coverage for asbestos-related liabilities against 16 additional insurers and 117 new insurance policies to the NJ Litigation. The court also required the parties to submit all contested matters to mediation. Trane engaged in its first mediation session with the NJ Litigation defendants on 18 January 2006 and has engaged in active discussions since that time.

Trane has now settled with the majority of the insurers in the NJ Litigation, collectively accounting for approximately 95% of its recorded asbestos-related liability insurance receivable as of 31 January 2010. Most, although not all, of Trane’s settlement agreements constitute “coverage-in-place” arrangements, in which the insurer signatories agree to reimburse Trane for specified portions of its costs for asbestos bodily injury claims and Trane agrees to certain claims-handling protocols and grants to the insurer signatories certain releases and indemnifications.

More specifically, effective 26 August 2008, Trane entered into a coverage-in-place agreement (“August 26 Agreement”) with the following five insurance companies or groups: 1) Hartford; 2) Travelers; 3) Allstate (solely in its capacity as successor-in-interest to Northbrook Excess & Surplus Insurance Company); 4) Dairyland Insurance Company; and 5) AIG. In addition, on 12 September 2008, Trane entered into a settlement agreement with Mt. McKinley Insurance Company and Everest Reinsurance Company, both members of the Everest Re group, resolving all claims in the NJ Litigation involving policies issued by those companies (“Everest Re Agreement”). The Everest Re Agreement contains a number of elements, including policy buy-outs and partial buy-outs in exchange for a cash payment along with coverage-in-place features similar to those contained in the 26 August Agreement, in exchange for certain releases and indemnifications by Trane. Further, on 26 January 2009, Trane entered into a coverage-in-place agreement with Columbia Casualty Company, Continental Casualty Company, and Continental Insurance Company (“CNA Agreement”), and agreed to a dismissal without prejudice of its environmental claims against CNA. Trane also has reached a coverage-in-place agreement, effective 15 December 2009, with Century Indemnity Company and International Insurance Company (“Century-International Agreement”). The Century-Indemnity Agreement has an initial term of three years, which renews automatically for successive three year terms unless either Trane or the insurer signatories elect to forward to the other party a notice of non-renewal. Most recently, effective 4 February 2010, Trane reached an agreement with certain London market insurance companies (“LMC Agreement”) that resolved all claims against the policies at issue. The LMC Agreement provides for the periodic reimbursement by the insurer signatories of a portion of Trane’s costs for asbestos bodily injury claims based on the attainment of certain aggregate indemnity and defense payment thresholds, and in exchange for certain releases and indemnifications from Trane. Trane also reached agreement on 31 December 2009 with Harper Insurance Company (“Harper”), a party to the LMC Agreement, for the buy-out of Harper’s obligations to Trane under the LMC Agreement and for certain releases and indemnifications from Trane in exchange for a one-time cash payment by Harper. Trane remains in settlement negotiations with the few insurer defendants in the NJ Litigation not encompassed within the 26 August Agreement, the Everest Re Agreement, the CNA Agreement, the Century-International Agreement and the LMC Agreement. In addition to its pursuit of coverage from its solvent insurers as outlined above, Trane also is pursuing claims against the estates of insolvent insurers in connection with its costs for asbestos bodily injury claims.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The amounts recorded by the Group for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets are based on currently available information. The Group’s actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the Group’s or ARPC’s calculations vary significantly from actual results. Key variables in these assumptions are identified above and include the number and type of new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of resolution of each such new claim, the resolution of coverage issues with insurance carriers, and the solvency risk with respect to the Group’s insurance carriers. Furthermore, predictions with respect to these variables are subject to greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. Other factors that may affect the Group’s liability include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal tort reform legislation.

The aggregate amount of the stated limits in insurance policies available to the Group for asbestos-related claims acquired over many years and from many different carriers, is substantial. However, limitations in that coverage, primarily due to the considerations described above, are expected to result in the projected total liability to claimants substantially exceeding the probable insurance recovery.

From receipt of its first asbestos claims more than twenty five years ago to 31 December 2009, the Group has resolved (by settlement or dismissal) approximately 256,000 claims arising from the legacy Ingersoll Rand businesses. The total amount of all settlements paid by the Group (excluding insurance recoveries) and by its insurance carriers is approximately $410 million, for an average payment per resolved claim of $1,595. The average payment per claim resolved during the year ended 31 December 2009 was $12,136. Because claims are frequently filed and settled in large groups, the amount and timing of settlements, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

The table below provides additional information regarding asbestos-related claims filed against the legacy Ingersoll Rand businesses, excluding those filed against Trane, reflecting updated information for the last two years.

* The significant increase in dismissals in 2008 is attributed to the dismissal of large numbers of dormant and/or inactive cases in Mississippi and New York. This amount reflects the Group’s emphasis on resolution of higher value malignancy claims, particularly mesothelioma claims, rather than lower value non-malignancy claims, which are more heavily represented in the Group’s historical settlements.

From receipt of the first asbestos claim more than twenty years ago through 31 December 2009, the Group has resolved approximately 86,646 (by settlement or dismissal) claims arising from the legacy Trane business. The Group and its insurance carriers have paid settlements of approximately $148 million on these claims, which represent an average payment per resolved claim of $1,710. At 31 December 2009, there were 92,298 open claims pending against Trane. Because claims are frequently filed and settled in large groups, the amount and timing of settlements, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

At 31 December 2009, over 91 percent of the open claims against the Group are non-malignancy claims, many of which have been placed on inactive or deferral dockets and the vast majority of which have little or no settlement value against the Group, particularly in light of recent changes in the legal and judicial treatment of such claims.

 

74


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

At 31 December 2009, the Group’s liability for asbestos related matters and the asset for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries totaled $1,113.1 million and $424.2 million, respectively, compared to $1,195.2 million and $423.8 million at 31 December 2008.

The Group records certain income and expenses associated with its asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries within discontinued operations, as they relate to previously divested businesses, primarily Ingersoll-Dresser Pump, which was sold in 2000. Income and expenses associated with Trane’s asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries are recorded within continuing operations.

The European Commission Investigation

In November 2004, Trane was contacted by the European Commission as part of a multi-company investigation into possible infringement of European Union competition law relating to the distribution of bathroom fixtures and fittings in certain European countries. On 28 March 2007, Trane, along with a number of other companies, received a Statement of Objections from the European Commission. The Statement of Objections, an administrative complaint, alleges infringements of European Union competition rules by numerous bathroom fixture and fittings companies, including Trane and certain of its former European subsidiaries engaged in the Bath and Kitchen business. These former subsidiaries were transferred (i) to WABCO on 31 July 2007 as part of a legal reorganization in connection with the spinoff of Trane’s Vehicle Control Systems business and (ii) to Bain Capital Partners LLC on 31 October 2007 in connection with the sale of Trane’s Bath & Kitchen business. Trane and certain of its former European subsidiaries will be jointly and severally liable for any fines that result from the investigation. However, pursuant to an Indemnification and Cooperation Agreement among Trane and certain other parties (Indemnification Agreement), American Standard Europe BVBA (renamed WABCO Europe BVBA) (WABCO Europe), which is a subsidiary of WABCO following the reorganization, will be responsible for, and will indemnify Trane and its subsidiaries (including certain subsidiaries formerly engaged in the Bath and Kitchen business) and their respective affiliates against, any fines related to this investigation. Trane and the charged subsidiaries responded to the European Commission on 1 August 2007 and 31 July 2007, respectively. A hearing with the European Commission regarding the response to the Statement of Objections was conducted from 12-14 November 2007, in Brussels. WABCO Europe and other former Trane subsidiaries participated in the hearing. Trane, however, did not participate in the hearing.

In 2006, the European Commission adopted new fining guidelines (2006 Guidelines) and stated its intention to apply these guidelines in all cases in which a Statement of Objections is issued after September 2006. In applying the 2006 Guidelines, the Commission retains considerable discretion in calculating the fine although the European Union regulations provide for a cap on the maximum fine equal to ten percent of Trane’s worldwide revenue attributable to all of its products for the fiscal year prior to the year in which the fine is imposed. If the maximum fine is levied in 2010, the total liability could be as high as $1.1 billion based on Trane’s last full fiscal year of worldwide revenue attributable to all of its product lines owned at the time the Statement of Objections was issued, subject to a probable reduction for leniency of at least 20 percent provided WABCO Europe, as the leniency applicant, fulfilled all conditions set forth in the European Commission’s leniency notice. WABCO has stated in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2009 filed with the SEC, that its ability to satisfy its obligations under the Indemnification Agreement is contingent on its funding capability at the time of the fine, which could be affected by, among other things, its ability to access its then existing credit facilities, its ability to obtain alternative sources of financing, its ability to obtain some payment relief from the European Commission or its ability to obtain a suspension of the payment obligation from the European Court of First Instance.

Oil for Food Program

As previously reported, on 10 November 2004, the SEC issued an Order directing that a number of public companies, including the Company, provide information relating to their participation in transactions under the United Nations’ Oil for Food Program. Upon receipt of the Order, the Group undertook a thorough review of its participation in the Oil for Food Program, provided the SEC with information responsive to the Order and provided additional information requested by the SEC. During a 27 March 2007 meeting with the SEC, at which a representative of the DOJ was also present, the Group began discussions concerning the resolution of this matter with both the SEC and DOJ. On 31 October 2007, the Group announced it had reached settlements with the SEC and DOJ relating to this matter. Under the terms of the settlements, the Group paid a total of $6.7 million in penalties, interest and disgorgement of profits. The Group has consented to the entry of a civil injunction in the SEC action and has entered into a three-year deferred prosecution agreement (“DPA”) with the DOJ.

 

75


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Under both settlements, the Group has implemented and will continue to implement improvements to its compliance program that are consistent with its longstanding policy against improper payments. In the settlement documents, the Government noted that the Group thoroughly cooperated with the investigation, that the Group had conducted its own complete investigation of the conduct at issue, promptly and thoroughly reported its findings to them, and took prompt remedial measures.

Additionally, we have reported to the DOJ and SEC certain matters involving Trane, including one relating to the Oil for Food Program, and which raise potential issues under the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. With respect to these matters, we have conducted a thorough investigation, which began in earnest promptly after our acquisition of Trane in June 2008. Previously, we had reported to the SEC and DOJ potential FCPA issues relating to one of our businesses in China, and we have reported back to them and shared our audit report, which indicated no FCPA violations. With respect to that same business in China, we have discussed with the DOJ and SEC another matter which raises potential FCPA issues. We have had preliminary discussions concerning the foregoing with the SEC and DOJ, to be followed by further discussions about them and possibly other matters which raise potential FCPA concerns. These matters (and others which may arise or of which we become aware in the future) may be deemed to violate the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. Such determinations could subject us to, among other things, further enforcement actions by the SEC or the DOJ (if, for example, the DOJ deems us to have violated the DPA), securities litigation and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could adversely affect our business prospects and the market value of our stock.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Certain office and warehouse facilities, transportation vehicles and data processing equipment are leased by the Group. Total rental expense was $194.9 million in 2009 and $144.8 million in 2008. Minimum lease payments required under non-cancelable operating leases with terms in excess of one year for the next five years and thereafter, are as follows: $169.9 million in 2010, $137.6 million in 2011, $104.4 million in 2012, $76.8 million in 2013, $61.4 million in 2014 and $123.9 million thereafter.

Trane has commitments and performance guarantees, including energy savings guarantees, totaling $157.5 million extending from 2010-2030. These guarantees are provided under long-term service and maintenance contracts related to its air conditioning equipment and system controls. Through 2009, the Group has experienced one insignificant loss under such arrangements and considers the probability of any significant future losses to be remote.

The Group also has other contingent liabilities of $3.6 million. These liabilities primarily result from performance bonds, guarantees and stand-by letters of credit associated with the prior sale of products from divested businesses as well as existing loan guarantees and residual values of equipment.

As part of the reorganization of IR-New Jersey in 2001, IR-Limited fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the issued public debt securities IR-New Jersey. IR-New Jersey unconditionally guaranteed payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on IR-Limited’s 4.75% Senior Notes due in 2015 in aggregate principal amount of $300 million. The guarantee is unsecured and provided on an unsubordinated basis. The guarantee ranks equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt of IR-New Jersey. In addition, public debt securities issued by IR-Global are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by IR-Limited.

As a part of the reorganization of IR-Limited in 2009, the guarantee structure was updated to reflect the newly created legal structure under which (i) IR-International assumed the obligations of IR-Limited as issuer or guarantor, as the case may be, and (ii) IR-Ireland and IR-Limited fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations under the various indentures covering the currently outstanding public debt of IR-International, IR-Global and IR-New Jersey. Neither IR-Ireland nor IR-Limited has issued or intends to issue guarantees in respect of any indebtedness incurred by Trane.

32. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that the operating segments’ results are prepared on a management basis that is consistent with the manner in which the Group disaggregates financial information for internal review and decision making. The Group largely evaluates performance based on operating income and operating margins. Intercompany sales between segments are considered immaterial.

The Group has divested various businesses over the past few years as it moves to being a leading global diversified industrial enterprise. Each reportable segment is based primarily on the types of products it generates. The operating segments have been aggregated as required by U.S. GAAP.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Group realigned its external reporting structure to more closely reflect our corporate and business strategies and to promote additional productivity and growth. The Group’s segments are now as follows: Climate Solutions, Residential Solutions, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies. As part of the change, the Group eliminated the Air Conditioning Systems and Services segment which represented the acquired Trane business and created two new reportable segments, the Climate Solutions segment and the Residential Solutions segment.

34. GUARANTOR INFORMATION

Ingersoll-Rand plc, an Irish public limited company (IR-Ireland), is the successor to Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited, a Bermuda company (IR-Limited), following a corporate reorganization that became effective on 1 July 2009 (the Ireland Reorganization). IR-Limited is the successor to Ingersoll-Rand Company, a New Jersey corporation (IR-New Jersey), following a corporate reorganization that occurred on 31 December 2001 (the Bermuda Reorganization). Both the Ireland Reorganization and the Bermuda Reorganization were accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and accordingly, did not result in any changes to the consolidated amounts of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

As a part of the Bermuda Reorganization, IR-Limited issued non-voting, Class B common shares to IR-New Jersey and certain IR-New Jersey subsidiaries in exchange for a $3.6 billion note and shares of certain IR-New Jersey subsidiaries. The note, which is due in 2011, has a fixed rate of interest of 11% per annum payable semi-annually and imposes certain

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

restrictive covenants upon IR-New Jersey. At 31 December 2009, $1.0 billion of the original $3.6 billion note remains outstanding. In 2002, IR-Limited contributed the note to a subsidiary, which subsequently transferred portions of the note to several other subsidiaries. Accordingly, the subsidiaries of IR-Limited remain creditors of IR-New Jersey.

In addition, as part of the Bermuda Reorganization, IR-Limited fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the issued public debt securities of IR-New Jersey. IR-New Jersey unconditionally guaranteed payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on IR-Limited’s 4.75% Senior Notes due in 2015 in the aggregate principal amount of $300 million. The guarantee is unsecured and provided on an unsubordinated basis. The guarantee ranks equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt of IR-New Jersey.

During 2008, the Group revised the guarantor financial statements for all periods presented in order to reflect Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited (IR-Global) as a stand-alone subsidiary. IR-Global issued public debt that is guaranteed by IR-Limited.

As part of the Ireland Reorganization, the guarantee structure was updated to reflect the newly created legal structure under which (i) IR-International assumed the obligations of IR-Limited as issuer or guarantor, as the case may be, and (ii) IR-Ireland and IR-Limited fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations under the various indentures covering the currently outstanding public debt of Ingersoll-Rand plc and its subsidiaries, IR-International, IR-Global and IR-New Jersey. Neither IR-Ireland nor IR-Limited has issued or intends to issue guarantees in respect of any indebtedness incurred by Trane. Also as part of the Ireland Reorganization, IR-Limited transferred all the shares of IR-Global to IR-International in exchange for a note payable that initially approximated $15.0 billion, which was then immediately reduced by the settlement of net intercompany payables of $4.1 billion. At 31 December 2009, $10.8 billion remains outstanding.

42. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the board of directors of the Company on 8 April 2010.

43. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS SINCE YEAR END

As a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Act”) signed into law on March 23, 2010, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Bill of 2010 signed into law on March 30, 2010, (together with the Act, the “Healthcare Reform Legislation”) in the United States, effective 2013, the tax benefits available to the Group will be reduced to the extent its drug expenses are reimbursed under the Medicare Part D retiree drug subsidy program. Although the provisions of the Healthcare Reform Legislation relating to the retiree drug subsidy program do not take effect until 2013, the Group is required to recognize the full accounting impact in its financial statements in the reporting period in which the Healthcare Reform Legislation is enacted. As retiree healthcare liabilities and related tax impacts are already reflected in the Group’s financial statements, the Healthcare Reform Legislation will result in a charge to taxation expense in 2010 of approximately $41 million (approximately $0.12 per diluted share). This charge reflects the anticipated increase in taxes that will occur as a result of the Healthcare Reform Legislation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INGERSOLL-RAND PLC

We have audited the parent company financial statements of Ingersoll-Rand plc for the year ended 31 December 2009 on pages 111 – 116. These parent company financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out in the statement of accounting policies on pages 112 – 113.

We have reported separately on the group financial statements of Ingersoll-Rand plc for the year ended 31 December 2009.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors

The directors’ responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the parent company financial statements in accordance with applicable Irish law and the accounting standards issued by the Accounting Standards Board and published by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland) are set out in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities.

Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the company’s members as a body in accordance with Section 193 of the Companies Act, 1990 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

We report to you our opinion as to whether the parent company financial statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland, and have been properly prepared in accordance with Irish statute comprising the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2009. We state whether we have obtained all the information and explanations we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit, and whether the financial statements are in agreement with the books of account. We also report to you our opinion as to:

 

   

whether the company has kept proper books of account;

 

   

whether the directors’ report is consistent with the financial statements; and

 

   

whether at the balance sheet date there existed a financial situation which may require the company to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the company; such a financial situation may exist if the net assets of the company, as stated in the balance sheet, are not more than half of its called-up share capital.

We also report to you if, in our opinion, any information specified by law regarding directors’ remuneration and directors’ transactions is not disclosed and, where practicable, include such information in our report.

We read the Directors’ Report and consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the parent company financial statements. Our responsibilities do not extend to any other information.

Basis of audit opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the parent company financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgments made by the directors in the preparation of the parent company financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the parent company financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the parent company financial statements.

Opinion

In our opinion the parent company financial statements:

 

   

give a true and fair view, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland, of the state of the company’s affairs of the as at 31 December 2009; and

 

   

have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2009.

 

109


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INGERSOLL-RAND PLC

We have obtained all the information and explanations which we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit. In our opinion proper books of account have been kept by the company. The financial statements are in agreement with the books of account.

In our opinion the information given in the directors’ report is consistent with the financial statements.

The net assets of the company, as stated in the balance sheet on page 111 are more than half of the amount of its called-up share capital and, in our opinion, on that basis there did not exist at 31 December 2009 a financial situation which under Section 40 (1) of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1983 would require the convening of an extraordinary general meeting of the company.

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The separate financial statements of Ingersoll-Rand plc (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland and Irish statute comprising the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2009. Accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland in preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view are those published by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland and issued by the Accounting Standards Board.

The financial statements of Ingersoll-Rand plc present the balance sheet on a stand-alone basis, including related party transactions.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.

Functional currencies

Items included in these financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which Ingersoll-Rand plc operates (the “functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

Financial assets

Ingersoll-Rand plc’s investment in its subsidiaries was recorded at cost, which equaled fair value on 1 July 2009, the date of the reorganization, based on the Group’s market capitalization at that time. This initial valuation is the Company’s cost basis for its investment in its subsidiaries. Where the recoverable amount of the investments is less than the carrying amount, an impairment is recognized.

Share premium

The difference between the proceeds received on issue of shares and the nominal value of the shares is credited to the share premium account.

Dividends

Quarterly dividends on ordinary shares payable are recognized in the financial statements of the Company when they are paid.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible assets other than land are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation is calculated in order to write off the net cost of tangible fixed assets, other than land, over their estimated useful lives by equal annual instalments.

The estimated useful lives of tangible fixed assets by reference to which depreciation has been calculated are as follows:

Fixtures and furniture 3 - 10 years

Foreign Currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date and revenues, costs and non-monetary assets at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.

Profits and losses arising from foreign currency translations and on settlement of amounts receivable and payable in foreign currency are dealt with in the profit and loss account.

Taxation

Corporation tax is provided on taxable profits at current rates.

Deferred tax is provided on all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date.

 

112


NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued

Timing differences are temporary differences between profits as computed for tax purposes and profits as stated in the financial statements, which arise because certain items of income and expenditure in the financial statements are dealt with in different years for tax purposes.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the years in which the timing differences are expected to reverse based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is not discounted. A deferred tax asset is only recognized when it is more likely than not the asset will be recoverable in the foreseeable future out of suitable taxable profits from which the underlying timing differences can be recovered.

Cash flow statement

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption from preparing a cash flow statement under the provision of Financial Reporting Standard No. 1 ‘Cash Flow Statement.’ The cash flows of the Company are included in the Group consolidated financial statements.

Share-based payments

The Company operates equity-settled share-based compensation plans. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options has been valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In accordance with FRS 20 ‘Share-based Payments’, the resulting cost for the Company’s employees is charged to the profit and loss account over the vesting period. The value of the charge is adjusted to reflect expected and actual levels of options vesting. The cost for options granted to the Company’s subsidiaries’ employees represents additional capital contributions by the Company to its subsidiaries. An additional investment in subsidiaries has been recorded in respect of those options granted to the Company’s subsidiaries’ employees, with a corresponding increase in the Company’s shareholder equity. The additional capital contribution is based on the fair value at the grant date of the options issued, allocated over the life of the underlying grant’s vesting period. Refer to Note 26 in the Group financial statements for further discussion of the share-based compensation plans.

3. PROFIT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR

A profit of $36.0 million for the period 1 April 2009 (Incorporation date) to 31 December 2009 has been dealt with in the profit and loss account of Ingersoll-Rand plc, which, as permitted by section 3(2) of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1986, is not presented in these financial statements.

On 20 July 2009, the Irish High Court approved the creation of distributable reserves of Ingersoll-Rand plc through the reduction of the share premium account, so as to facilitate the ongoing payment of dividends to the shareholders of the Company and to effect the repurchase of shares. The court order authorizing the creation of distributable reserves was filed with the Registrar of Companies in Ireland and became effective on 23 July 2009.

Quarterly dividends of $0.07per share were paid by the Company in September and December 2009, respectively.

12. GUARANTEES

The Reorganization from Bermuda to Ireland became effective on 1 July 2009, at which time Ingersoll-Rand plc replaced Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (“IR-Limited”) as the ultimate parent company. Concurrently with the completion of the Reorganization, IR-Limited completed the transfer of all the outstanding shares of Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited (“IR-Global”) to Ingersoll-Rand International Holding Limited (“IR-International”), another indirect subsidiary of IR-Limited incorporated in Bermuda, whereupon IR-International assumed the obligations of IR-Limited as an issuer or guarantor, as the case may be, under the indentures governing the Group’s outstanding notes, medium-term notes and debentures.

IR plc and IR-Limited also fully and unconditionally guarantee the payment obligations of IR-International, IR-Global and Ingersoll-Rand Company (“IR-New Jersey”), a indirect subsidiary of IR-Limited incorporated in New Jersey, as the case may be, as the issuers of debt securities under these indentures. Neither IR plc nor IR-Limited intends to issue guarantees in respect of any indebtedness incurred by Trane. In addition, any securities issued by IR-Limited that were convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Class A common shares of IR-Limited are now convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, as the case may be, into the ordinary shares of IR plc.

13. CONTINGENCIES

In order to avail of the exemption contained in Section 17 of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1986, the parent Company, Ingersoll-Rand plc, has guaranteed the liabilities of its subsidiary undertakings registered in Ireland. As a result, the subsidiary undertakings have been exempted from the provisions of Section 7 of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1986. Details of the Group’s principal subsidiaries have been included at Note 40 to the consolidated financial statements. The Irish subsidiaries of the Group covered by the Section 17 exemption are Ingersoll-Rand Irish Holdings, Spanashview, Thermo King Ireland Limited, Thermo King European Manufacturing Limited, Thermo King Total Kare Limited and Ingersoll-Rand International Limited.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has not disclosed any related party transactions as it has availed of the exemption available under the provisions of FRS 8 ‘Related Party Disclosures’ 3 (c) which exempts disclosure of transactions entered into between two or more members of a group, provided that any subsidiary which is a party to the transaction is wholly owned by a member of that group.

15. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
