Ferro Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

Ferro Corporation (“Ferro,” “we,” “us” or “the Company”) prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Ferro Corporation and subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the timing and amount of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses reported and disclosed. Actual amounts could differ from our estimates. In our opinion, we made all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation, and those adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise noted. Due to differing business conditions, our various initiatives, and some seasonality, the results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in subsequent quarters or for the full year.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

On January 1, 2011, we prospectively adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (“ASU 2009-13”) and ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method, (“ASU 2010-17”). ASU 2009-13 applies to all deliverables in contractual arrangements in which a vendor will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. ASU 2010-17 defines a milestone and determines when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. These pronouncements are codified in FASB Accounting Standards Codification^TM (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Adoption of these pronouncements did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, (“ASU 2011-04”), which is codified in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. This pronouncement changes certain fair value measurement guidance and expands certain disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for our fiscal year that begins January 1, 2012, and is to be applied prospectively. We do not expect that adoption of this pronouncement on January 1, 2012, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, (“ASU 2011-05”), which is codified in ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. This pronouncement requires companies to present items of net income, items of other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income in one continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements and will be effective for our fiscal year that begins January 1, 2012. ASU 2011-05 is to be applied retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, (“ASU 2011-08”), which is codified in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. This pronouncement permits companies testing goodwill for impairment to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the two-step impairment test is required. ASU 2011-08 is effective for our fiscal year that begins January 1, 2012, but early adoption is permitted. We expect to early adopt this pronouncement in the fourth quarter of 2011. We do not expect that adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following:

		September 30,				December 31,
		2011				2010
		(Dollars in thousands)
Raw materials		$	82,672			$	63,856
Work in process			47,276				38,684
Finished goods			113,373				99,527
Total inventories		$	243,321			$	202,067

In the production of some of our products, we use precious metals, some of which we obtain from financial institutions under consignment agreements with terms of one year or less. The financial institutions retain ownership of the precious metals and charge us fees based on the amounts we consign. These fees were $2.6 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $7.3 million and $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were charged to cost of sales. We had on hand precious metals owned by participants in our precious metals consignment program of $225.5 million at September 30, 2011, and $205.7 million at December 31, 2010, measured at fair value based on market prices for identical assets. At December 31, 2010, we had delivered $28.1 million in cash collateral as a result of the market value of the precious metals under consignment exceeding the credit lines provided by some of the financial institutions. At September 30, 2011, no cash collateral was outstanding.

4. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is reported net of accumulated depreciation of $612.4 million at September 30, 2011, and $594.3 million at December 31, 2010. Unpaid capital expenditure liabilities, which are noncash investing activities, were $9.4 million at September 30, 2011, and $7.1 million at September 30, 2010.

Receivable Sales Programs

We have an asset securitization program for Ferro’s U.S. trade accounts receivable. In May 2011, we made certain modifications to and extended the maturity of this credit facility through May 2012. We sell interests in our domestic receivables to various purchasers, and we may obtain up to $50.0 million in the form of cash or letters of credit. Advances received under this program are accounted for as borrowings secured by the receivables and included in net cash provided by financing activities. At September 30, 2011, advances received of $45.0 million were secured by $115.9 million of accounts receivable. The interest rate under this program is the sum of (A) either (1) commercial paper rates, (2) LIBOR rates, or (3) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate and (B) a fixed margin. At September 30, 2011, the interest rate was 0.6%. We had no borrowings under this program at December 31, 2010.

In 2011, we entered into several international programs to sell with recourse trade accounts receivable to financial institutions. Advances received under these programs are accounted for as borrowings secured by the receivables and included in net cash provided by financing activities. At September 30, 2011, the commitments supporting these programs totaled $18.7 million, the advances received were secured by $11.8 million of accounts receivable, and no additional borrowings were available under the programs. The interest rates under these programs are based on EURIBOR rates plus 1.75%. At September 30, 2011, the weighted-average interest rate was 3.2%.

Prior to 2011, we maintained several international programs to sell without recourse trade accounts receivable to financial institutions. Advances received under these programs were accounted for as proceeds from the sales of receivables and included in net cash provided by operating activities. In the first quarter of 2011, these programs expired or were terminated. Ferro had received net proceeds under these programs of $3.4 million at December 31, 2010, for outstanding receivables.

7.875% Senior Notes

The Senior Notes were issued in 2010 at par, bear interest at a rate of 7.875% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning February 15, 2011, and mature on August 15, 2018. We may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes beginning August 15, 2014, at prices ranging from 100% to 103.938% of the principal amount. In addition, through August 15, 2013, we may redeem up to 35% of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 107.875% of the principal amount using proceeds of certain equity offerings. We may also redeem some or all of the Senior Notes prior to August 15, 2014, at a price equal to the principal amount plus a defined applicable premium. The applicable premium on any redemption date is the greater of 1.0% of the principal amount of the note or the excess of (1) the present value at such redemption date of the redemption price of the note at August 15, 2014, plus all required interest payments due on the note through August 15, 2014, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of the redemption date plus 50 basis points; over (2) the principal amount of the note.

The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with any other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations. The Senior Notes contain certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for high-yield debt securities, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability to incur additional debt, create liens, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase our common stock and sell assets outside the ordinary course of business. At September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Senior Notes’ indenture.

6.50% Convertible Senior Notes

The Convertible Notes were issued in 2008, bear interest at a rate of 6.5% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15th and August 15th of each year, and mature on August 15, 2013. We separately account for the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes in a manner that, when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods, will reflect our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the time the Convertible Notes were issued. The effective interest rate on the liability component is 9.5%. Under certain circumstances, holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their notes prior to maturity. The Convertible Notes are unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with any other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations. The principal amount outstanding was $35.8 million at September 30, 2011, and $35.8 million at December 31, 2010. At September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Convertible Notes’ indenture.

2010 Credit Facility

In 2010, we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a group of lenders for a five-year, $350 million multi-currency senior revolving credit facility (the “2010 Credit Facility”). The interest rate under the 2010 Credit Facility is the sum of (A) either (1) LIBOR or (2) the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, the Prime Rate, or LIBOR plus 1.0% and (B) a variable margin based on the Company’s leverage. At September 30, 2011, the interest rate was 3.0%. We had no borrowings under this facility at December 31, 2010. The 2010 Credit Facility matures on August 24, 2015, and is secured by substantially all of Ferro’s assets.

We are subject to a number of financial covenants under our 2010 Credit Facility, which are discussed in Note 6 within Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. At September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with the covenants of the 2010 Credit Facility.

Our ability to pay common stock dividends is limited by certain covenants in our 2010 Credit Facility and the bond indenture governing the Senior Notes. The covenant in our 2010 Credit Facility is the more limiting of the two covenants and is described in Note 6 within Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

6. Financial Instruments

The fair values of the revolving credit facility and the other long-term notes are based on the present value of expected future cash flows and assumptions about current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the Company that market participants would use in pricing the debt.

Derivative Instruments

All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. For derivatives that are not designated as hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized in current earnings.

Interest rate swaps. To reduce our exposure to interest rate changes on variable-rate debt, we entered into interest rate swap agreements in 2007. These swaps effectively converted $150 million of a former variable-rate term loan facility to a fixed rate through June 2011. These swaps were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. The fair value of these swaps was based on the present value of expected future cash flows, which reflected assumptions about current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the Company that market participants would use in pricing the swaps. In the third quarter of 2010, in conjunction with repayment of our remaining outstanding term loans, we settled these swaps and reclassified $6.8 million from accumulated other comprehensive income to miscellaneous expense.

Foreign currency forward contracts. We manage foreign currency risks principally by entering into forward contracts to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on transactions. These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. The fair value of these contracts is based on market prices for comparable contracts. We had foreign currency forward contracts with a notional amount of $278.5 million at September 30, 2011, and $187.3 million at December 31, 2010.

The following table presents the fair value on our consolidated balance sheets of our foreign currency forward contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments:

		September 30,				December 31,
		2011				2010				Balance Sheet Location

The inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value are classified into the following categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The carrying amount, fair value, and classification within the fair value hierarchy of these financial instruments were as follows:

7. Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $30.0 million, or 32.9% of pre-tax income. In the first nine months of 2010, we recorded income tax expense of $23.2 million, or 84.0% of pre-tax income. The reduction in the effective tax rate primarily resulted from a decrease in losses in jurisdictions with full valuation allowances, which resulted in unrecognized tax benefits of $4.0 million in the first nine months of 2011 as compared with $10.3 million in the prior-year period. In addition, the effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2011 included an income tax benefit of $1.7 million related to settlement of foreign tax matters. The effective tax rate in the prior-year period was impacted by $4.3 million of tax charges, which resulted from the elimination of future tax deductions related to Medicare Part D subsidies and the recording of valuation allowances on certain deferred tax assets.

8. Contingent Liabilities

There are various lawsuits and claims pending against the Company and its subsidiaries. We do not currently expect the ultimate liabilities, if any, and expenses related to such lawsuits and claims to materially affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

The Company has a non-operating facility in Brazil that is environmentally contaminated. We have recorded an undiscounted remediation liability because we believe the liability is incurred and the amount of contingent loss is reasonably estimable. The recorded liability associated with this facility was $8.6 million at September 30, 2011, and $9.8 million at December 31, 2010. The ultimate loss will depend on the extent of contamination found as the project progresses and acceptance by local authorities of remediation activities, including the time frame of monitoring involved.

On January 4, 2011, the Company received an administrative subpoena from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). OFAC has requested that the Company provide documents and information related to the possibility of direct or indirect transactions with or to a prohibited country. The Company is cooperating with OFAC in connection with the administrative subpoena. The Company cannot predict the length, scope or results of the inquiry from OFAC, or the impact, if any, on its business activities or results of operations.

Net periodic benefit cost		$	7,703			$	11,368			$	3,960			$	439			$	667			$	1,145

In our U.S. plans, improvement through December 2010 in the valuation of pension investments increased our 2011 expected return on plan assets, and longer amortization periods decreased our 2011 net amortization and deferral costs. The longer amortization periods were due to all participants in certain U.S. plans being inactive and to changes in the pattern of retirements. In our non-U.S. plans, various curtailments and settlements recorded in 2010 decreased our benefit obligations and plan assets, which in turn reduced our 2011 interest cost and expected return on plan assets. In the third quarter of 2010, we recognized $0.7 million of prior service cost amortization related to a temporary change in our postretirement health care benefit plan and a $0.2 million curtailment gain related to our restructuring activities in the Netherlands. In the second quarter of 2010, we recognized $4.0 million of curtailment and settlement gains related to our restructuring activities in the Netherlands and France and a $0.2 million settlement loss related to the transfer of some pension obligations to another company in Germany. In the first quarter of 2010, we recognized a $0.7 million gain from the settlement of certain pension obligations in Japan.

10. Serial Convertible Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of serial convertible preferred stock without par value. In 1989, Ferro issued 1,520,215 shares of 7% Series A ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) to the Trustee of the Ferro Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) at a price of $46.375 per share for a total consideration of $70.5 million. Subsequently, all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were allocated to participating individual employee accounts, and most of the shares were redeemed or converted by the Trustee to provide for distributions to, loans to, or withdrawals by participants or to satisfy an investment election provided to participants. At December 31, 2010, there were 203,282 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. In the first quarter of 2011, we redeemed in cash all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for $9.4 million plus earned but unpaid dividends.

11. Stock-Based Compensation

In April 2010, our shareholders approved the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan’s purpose is to promote the Company’s and the shareholders’ long-term financial interests by attracting, retaining and motivating high-quality, key employees and directors and aligning their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders. The Plan reserves 5,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued for grants of several different types of long-term incentives including stock options, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock units, restricted shares, performance shares, other common-stock-based awards, and dividend equivalent rights. No future grants may be made under previous incentive plans. However, any outstanding awards or grants made under these plans will continue until the end of their specified terms.

The stock-based compensation transactions in equity consisted of the following for the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

		Common Shares in Treasury
		Shares				Amount				Paid-in Capital
		(In thousands)
Stock options			(208	)		$	5,189			$	(478	)
Deferred stock units			(80	)			2,013				(1,559	)

Preferred stock conversions			—				—				—
Total			(377	)		$	10,683			$	(4,409	)

12. Restructuring and Cost Reduction Programs

During the nine months of 2011, we continued to wind down our restructuring programs. Current period activity primarily relates to facility closing and exit costs in Limoges, France; Castanheira do Ribatejo, Portugal; and Frankfurt, Germany.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, total charges resulting from these activities were $4.4 million and $47.4 million, respectively, of which $0.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively, were recorded in cost of sales as they related to accelerated depreciation on assets to be disposed, and the remaining $4.0 million and $44.1 million, respectively, were reported as restructuring and impairment charges. Restructuring and impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, consisted of gross charges of $6.5 million, partially offset by a gain on the sale of a building of $1.1 million and a reduction of accrued rent previously included in restructuring charges of $1.4 million.

We have summarized the activities and accruals related to our restructuring and cost reduction programs below:

		Employee								Asset
		Severance				Other Costs				Impairment				Total
		(Dollars in thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2010		$	2,429			$	5,863			$	—			$	8,292
Restructuring charges			2,191				1,850				3				4,044
Cash payments			(3,694	)			(3,702	)			—				(7,396	)
Currency translation adjustment			62				67				—				129

Balance at September 30, 2011		$	961			$	3,993			$	—			$	4,954

We expect to make cash payments to settle the remaining liability for employee termination benefits and other costs over the next twelve months, except where legal or contractual restrictions prevent us from doing so.

15. Reporting for Segments

The Company has six reportable segments: Electronic Materials, Performance Coatings, Color and Glass Performance Materials, Polymer Additives, Specialty Plastics, and Pharmaceuticals. We have aggregated our Tile Coating Systems and Porcelain Enamel operating segments into one reportable segment, Performance Coatings, based on their similar economic and operating characteristics.

The accounting policies of our segments are consistent with those described for our consolidated financial statements in the summary of significant accounting policies contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. We measure segment income for internal reporting purposes by excluding unallocated corporate expenses, restructuring and impairment charges, other expenses, net, and income taxes. Unallocated corporate expenses consist primarily of corporate employment costs and professional services.

Net sales to external customers by segment are presented in the table below. Sales between segments were not material.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Overall sales grew during the quarter, driven primarily by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Customer demand showed signs of slowing, as some customer orders were delayed toward the end of the quarter. Demand from customers who purchase conductive pastes for solar applications continued to be weak as a result of lower market demand and excess inventory of products in solar power end markets. Demand for other products that are used in electronics industry applications also declined during the third quarter.

Net sales increased by 3% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the third quarter of 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates were the primary driver of the increased sales. Increased precious metal costs, which are passed through to customers with little gross profit contribution, were also a contributor to the increased sales. Sales increased in all business segments except Electronic Materials where sales declined due to weak demand for conductive pastes that are used in solar applications. In aggregate, changes in product prices and mix contributed approximately 12 percentage points to the growth in net sales compared to the third quarter of 2010. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates contributed an additional 3 percentage points to sales growth. Lower sales volumes, primarily driven by lower sales of conductive pastes and the effects of products that we no longer sell, reduced sales growth by approximately 12 percentage points.

Raw material costs, in aggregate, increased during the quarter by approximately $35 million compared with the same quarter last year, reflecting widespread commodity cost increases in the global economy. The costs of some raw materials have now declined from the peak costs experienced earlier in 2011. Changes in product pricing kept pace with increasing raw materials across the business as a whole. Securing price increases to fully cover raw materials cost increases continued to be challenging in our Polymer Additives business and portions of our Performance Coatings business.

Gross profit declined in the third quarter compared with the third quarter of 2010. The reduction was driven by declines in sales of conductive pastes for solar cells in our Electronic Materials business. Higher sales of precious metals did not add significantly to gross profit during the quarter because precious metal costs are passed through to customers with little gross profit contribution. In addition, increased sales due to product price increases that reflected rising raw material costs did not result in significant incremental gross profit during the quarter.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses declined compared with the prior-year period. The decline in SG&A expenses was driven by reduced charges related to manufacturing rationalization and employee severance, along with reduced incentive compensation expense. Offsetting some of the decline were higher expenses for an initiative to standardize business processes and improve management information systems, as well as increased expenses due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Restructuring and impairment charges declined significantly compared with the third quarter of 2010. The major operational activities related to our restructuring initiatives, started in 2006, were completed during 2010. The current restructuring charges are primarily related to residual costs at manufacturing sites where production activities have been concluded.

Interest expense declined in the third quarter primarily as a result of lower average interest rates and reduced average borrowing levels, as well as reduced amortization of debt issuance costs.

During the third quarter of 2010, we recorded losses on extinguishment of debt as a result of debt refinancing. This charge did not recur in 2011.

We recorded net income during the 2011 third quarter compared with a net loss in the third quarter of 2010. The improvement was driven by the absence of losses on extinguishment of debt, reduced restructuring and impairment charges, reduced SG&A expenses and lower interest expense. These contributions to improved income were partially offset by reduced gross profit and increased income tax expense.

Outlook

Our ability to forecast future customer demand is very limited because of the uncertainty surrounding economic conditions in a number of regions and application markets around the world, particularly in Europe and the United States. Customers are placing orders only for the materials they need for near-term production requirements, and we have experienced order delays or cancellations due to recent deterioration in end market demand. In addition, customer orders for our conductive pastes have been negatively impacted by continuing excess inventory of completed solar power modules. The amount of excess module inventory remaining and the near-term demand for solar modules are difficult to forecast. Therefore, customers of our conductive pastes are not certain when their production requirements will recover.

We expect generally weak economic conditions to continue during the next several quarters. Because of the continued uncertainty in worldwide macroeconomic factors and the unknown effects of difficult credit markets, particularly in Europe, our ability to forecast future financial performance is more limited than usual.

Factors that could adversely affect our future financial performance are described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Net sales increased by 3% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the third quarter of 2010, driven by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Increased sales of precious metals in our Electronic Materials segment, driven by higher prices for silver, also contributed to the overall growth in sales. Sales were higher in all segments except Electronic Materials, where reduced demand for conductive pastes used in the manufacture of solar sales led to a decline in sales. Higher product prices and mix accounted for approximately 12 percentage points of sales growth in the quarter, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates added an additional 3 percentage points to the growth. Lower sales volume reduced sales growth by approximately 12 percentage points. Nearly three quarters of the reduction in sales due to volume was attributable to the Electronic Materials segment. Higher precious metals sales, resulting from higher silver prices partially offset by lower precious metals sales volume, contributed $8.6 million to the overall sales increase during the quarter.

Gross profit declined primarily as a result of reduced sales volume of conductive pastes used in solar cell applications. In addition, increased raw material costs and product mix changes combined to reduce gross profit or to limit the growth in gross profit in those segments where sales increased. Gross profit percentage declined to 19.0% of sales from 22.8% of sales in the prior-year period. Charges that were primarily related to residual costs at closed manufacturing sites involved in restructuring initiatives reduced gross profit by $0.7 million during the third quarter of 2011. In the third quarter of 2010, gross profit also was reduced by $0.7 million due to charges for accelerated depreciation, severance costs and other costs associated with manufacturing rationalization activities.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses declined by $7.3 million during the third quarter of 2011 compared with the prior-year quarter. SG&A expenses were 12.4% of net sales during the third quarter, down from 14.2% in the third quarter of 2010. The drivers of the reduced SG&A expenses were lower special charges, reduced pension expense and lower incentive compensation expense. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates offset some of the decline. In addition, SG&A spending in the third quarter included $1.6 million related to an initiative to streamline and standardize business processes and improve management information systems tools. SG&A expenses during the 2011 third quarter also included charges of $0.8 million that were primarily related to expenses at closed sites impacted by restructuring initiatives. In the prior-year quarter, SG&A expenses included $5.5 million in special charges, primarily driven by expenses related to manufacturing rationalization activities and employee severance expenses.

Restructuring and impairment charges declined to $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared with $9.6 million in the third quarter of 2010. The decline reflects the reduction in restructuring activities as we complete the final actions related to our multi-year manufacturing rationalization activities.

Interest expense declined by $3.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the prior-year period. Lower average interest rates on borrowings, a decline in average borrowing levels and reduced amortization of debt issuance costs resulted in the decline in interest expense. In addition, interest expense in the 2010 third quarter included a $0.8 million noncash write-off of unamortized fees related to a repayment of term loans.

We recorded a $19.3 million charge for losses on extinguishment of debt during the 2010 third quarter related to debt refinancing. The charge included a write-off of unamortized fees and the difference between the carrying value and the fair market value of the portion of our 6.5% Convertible Notes purchased pursuant to a tender offer and a write-off of unamortized fees associated with our previous credit facility. We did not record any charges for extinguishment of debt in the third quarter of 2011.

We are exposed to the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency positions arising from our international trade. We manage these currency risks principally by entering into forward contracts. The carrying value of the open contracts at quarter-end are adjusted to market value and the resulting gains or losses are charged to income or expense during the period, partially offsetting the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the underlying positions.

Net miscellaneous expense for the 2011 third quarter was $0.1 million compared with $7.3 million in the third quarter of 2010. During the third quarter of 2010, we recorded charges of $6.8 million to settle our interest rate swaps in connection with the extinguishment of term loans that were part of our previous credit facility.

During the third quarter of 2011, income tax expense was $8.4 million, or 31.6% of pre-tax income. In the 2010 third quarter, we recorded tax expense of $0.7 million despite consolidated pre-tax losses of $1.6 million. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of a decrease in our losses in jurisdictions for which the benefits of these losses were not expected to be realized and a current period benefit of $1.0 million related to the settlement of foreign tax matters.

Net income increased to $18.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $2.4 million in the prior-year period. The improvement was driven by an absence of losses on extinguishment of debt, reduced restructuring and impairment charges, reduced SG&A expenses, reduced miscellaneous expense and lower interest expense. These improvements were partially offset by reduced gross profit and increased income tax expense.
