Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2012

(unaudited)

 

1. Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Johnson Controls, Inc. (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results for the Company's 2012 fiscal year because of seasonal and other factors.

Certain amounts as of June 30, 2011 have been revised to conform to the current year’s presentation. Recoverable customer engineering expenditures are included in the changes in other assets line within the operating activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. In prior years, these cash flows were included in the investing activities section. Also, the long-term portion of pension liabilities is now reclassified into the pension, postretirement health and other benefits line within the long-term liabilities section of the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. In prior years, these liabilities were included in the other noncurrent liabilities line.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Johnson Controls, Inc. and its domestic and non-U.S. subsidiaries that are consolidated in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Investments in partially-owned affiliates are accounted for by the equity method when the Company’s interest exceeds 20% and the Company does not have a controlling interest.

Under certain criteria as provided for in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, “Consolidation,” the Company may consolidate a partially-owned affiliate. To determine whether to consolidate a partially-owned affiliate, the Company first determines if the entity is a variable interest entity (VIE). An entity is considered to be a VIE if it has one of the following characteristics: 1) the entity is thinly capitalized; 2) residual equity holders do not control the entity; 3) equity holders are shielded from economic losses or do not participate fully in the entity’s residual economics; or 4) the entity was established with non-substantive voting. If the entity meets one of these characteristics, the Company then determines if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The party with the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the potential to absorb benefits or losses that could be significant to the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. If the entity is not considered a VIE, then the Company applies the voting interest model to determine whether or not the Company shall consolidate the partially-owned affiliate.

Consolidated VIEs

Based upon the criteria set forth in ASC 810, the Company has determined that it was the primary beneficiary in three VIEs for the reporting period ended June 30, 2012 and two VIEs for the reporting periods ended September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, as the Company absorbs significant economics of the entities and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities.

Two of the VIEs manufacture products in North America for the automotive industry. The Company funds the entities’ short term liquidity needs through revolving credit facilities and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities through its key customer supply relationships.

During the three month period ended December 31, 2011, a pre-existing VIE accounted for under the equity method was reorganized into three separate investments as a result of the counterparty exercising its option to put its interest to the Company. The Company acquired additional interests in two of the reorganized group entities. The reorganized group entities are considered to be VIEs as the other owner party has been provided decision making rights but does not have equity at risk. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of one of the entities due

Johnson Controls, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

to the Company’s power pertaining to decisions over significant activities of the entity. As such, the VIE has been consolidated within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial position. The impact of the consolidation of the entity on the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2012 was not material. The VIE is named as a co-obligor under a third party debt agreement of $135 million, maturing in fiscal 2019, in which it could become subject to paying more than its allocated share of the third party debt in the event of bankruptcy of one or more of the other co-obligors. The other co-obligors, all related parties in which the Company is an equity investor, consist of the remaining group entities involved in the reorganization. As part of the overall reorganization transaction, the Company has also provided financial support to the group entities in the form of loans totaling $101 million, which are subordinate to the third party debt agreement. The Company is a significant customer of certain co-obligors, resulting in a remote possibility of loss. Additionally, the Company is subject to a floor guaranty expiring in fiscal 2022; in the event that the other owner party no longer owns any part of the group entities due to sale or transfer, the Company has guaranteed that the proceeds received from the sale or transfer will not be less than $25 million. The Company has partnered with the group entities to design and manufacture battery components for the power solutions business.

The carrying amounts and classification of assets (none of which are restricted) and liabilities included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial position for the consolidated VIEs are as follows (in millions):

Nonconsolidated VIEs

During the three month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company acquired a 40% interest in an equity method investee. The investee produces and sells lead-acid batteries of which the Company will both purchase and supply certain batteries to complement each investment partners’ portfolio. Commencing on the third anniversary of the closing date, the Company has a contractual right to purchase the remaining 60% equity interest in the investee (the “call option”). If the Company does not exercise the call option on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing date, for a period of six months thereafter the Company is subject to a contractual obligation at the counterparty’s option to sell the Company’s equity investment in the investee to the counterparty (the “repurchase option”). The purchase price is fixed under both the call option and the repurchase option. Based upon the criteria set forth in ASC 810, the Company has determined that the investee is a VIE as the equity holders, through their equity investments, may not participate fully in the entity’s residual economics. The Company is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have the power to make key operating decisions considered to be most significant to the VIE. Therefore, the investee is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company’s interest exceeds 20% and the Company does not have a controlling interest. The investment balance included within investments in partially-owned affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position at June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 was $53 million, $49 million and $48 million, respectively, which represents the Company’s maximum exposure to loss. Current assets and liabilities related to the VIE are immaterial and represent normal course of business trade receivables and payables for all presented periods.

As mentioned previously within the “Consolidated VIEs” section above, during the three month period ended December 31, 2011, a pre-existing VIE was reorganized into three separate investments as a result of the counterparty exercising its option to put its interest to the Company. The reorganized group entities are considered

to be VIEs as the other owner party has been provided decision making rights but does not have equity at risk. The Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary of two of the entities as the Company cannot make key operating decisions considered to be most significant to the VIEs. Therefore, the entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company’s interest exceeds 20% and the Company does not have a controlling interest. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss, which included the partially-owned affiliate investment balance and a note receivable, approximated $43 million at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss at June 30, 2012 includes the partially-owned affiliate investment balance of $49 million as well as the subordinated loan from the Company, third party debt agreement and floor guaranty mentioned previously within the “Consolidated VIEs” section above. Current liabilities due to the VIEs are not material and represent normal course of business trade payables for all presented periods.

The Company did not have a significant variable interest in any other unconsolidated VIEs for the presented reporting periods.

 

2. New Accounting Standards

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” ASU No. 2011-11 requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures of gross and net information regarding financial instruments and derivative instruments that are offset or eligible for offset in the consolidated statement of financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2013. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-09, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Multiemployer Plans (Subtopic 715-80): Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan.” ASU No. 2011-09 requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures about an employer’s participation in multiemployer pension plans, including disclosure of the name and identifying number of the significant multiemployer plans in which the employer participates, the level of the employer’s participation in the plans, the financial health of the plans and the nature of the employer commitments to the plans. ASU No. 2011-09 will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” ASU No. 2011-08 provides companies an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further goodwill impairment testing is necessary. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, the two-step quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. ASU No. 2011-08 will be effective for the Company for goodwill impairment tests performed in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. All non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity instead must be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-05 will be effective for the Company for the quarter ending December 31, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 clarifies and changes the application of various fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements, and was effective for the Company beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 (January 1, 2012). The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Refer to Note

3. Acquisitions and Divestitures

In the first nine months of fiscal 2012, the Company completed three acquisitions for a combined purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $38 million, all of which was paid in the nine months ended June 30, 2012. The acquisitions in the aggregate were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In connection with the acquisitions, the Company recorded goodwill of $52 million. As a result of two of the acquisitions, each of which increased the Company’s ownership from a noncontrolling to controlling interest, the Company recorded an aggregate non-cash gain of $12 million, of which $9 million was recorded within power solutions equity income and $3 million was recorded in automotive experience Europe equity income, to adjust the Company’s existing equity investments in the partially-owned affiliates to fair value. Also, in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, the Company recorded an increase to goodwill of $6 million related to a purchase price allocation for a fiscal 2011 acquisition. The purchase price allocations may be subsequently adjusted to reflect final valuation studies.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company completed two divestitures for a combined sales price of $91 million, all of which was received in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The divestitures in the aggregate were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In connection with the divestitures, the Company recorded a gain, net of transaction costs, of $35 million and reduced goodwill by $29 million in the building efficiency business.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Keiper/Recaro Automotive, a leader in recliner system technology with engineering and manufacturing expertise in metals and mechanisms for automobile seats, based in Kaiserslautern, Germany. The total purchase price, net of cash acquired, was approximately $442 million, of which $450 million was paid during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and $8 million was received in the three months ended December 31, 2011 as a result of a true-up to the purchase price. In connection with the Keiper/Recaro Automotive acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $171 million primarily in the automotive experience Europe segment, of which $45 million was recorded in fiscal 2012.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of the C. Rob. Hammerstein Group (Hammerstein), a leading global supplier of high-quality metal seat structures, components and mechanisms based in Solingen, Germany. The total purchase price, net of cash acquired, was approximately $529 million, all of which was paid during the nine months ended June 30, 2011. In connection with the Hammerstein acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $200 million primarily in the automotive experience Europe segment, of which $7 million was recorded in fiscal 2012.

In the first nine months of fiscal 2011, the Company completed three additional acquisitions for a combined purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $80 million, of which $108 million was paid in the nine months ended June 30, 2011 prior to purchase price true-ups from the seller. The acquisitions in the aggregate were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In connection with the acquisitions, the Company recorded goodwill of $73 million, of which $14 million was recorded in fiscal 2012.

There were no business divestitures for the nine months ended June 30, 2011.

 

4. Percentage-of-Completion Contracts

The building efficiency business records certain long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Under this method, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. The Company records costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts within accounts receivable – net and billings in excess of costs and earnings on uncompleted contracts within other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Amounts included within accounts receivable – net related to these contracts were $899 million, $773 million and $798 million at June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Amortization of other intangible assets for the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $17 million and $13 million, respectively. Amortization of other intangible assets for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $42 million and $36 million, respectively. Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions, the Company anticipates amortization for fiscal 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 will be approximately $59 million, $57 million, $53 million, $48 million and $48 million per year, respectively.

 

7. Product Warranties

The Company offers warranties to its customers depending upon the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. A typical warranty program requires that the Company replace defective products within a specified time period from the date of sale. The Company records an estimate for future warranty-related costs based on actual historical return rates and other known factors. Based on analysis of return rates and other factors, the Company’s warranty provisions are adjusted as necessary. The Company monitors its warranty activity and adjusts its reserve estimates when it is probable that future warranty costs will be different than those estimates.

The Company’s product warranty liability is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position in other current liabilities if the warranty is less than one year and in other noncurrent liabilities if the warranty extends longer than one year.

The changes in the carrying amount of the Company’s total product warranty liability for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in millions):

8. Significant Restructuring Costs

To improve profitability in the Company’s building efficiency and automotive experience businesses and address the softness in certain underlying markets, the Company committed to a restructuring plan in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and recorded a $52 million restructuring charge, of which $41 million was recorded for the building efficiency business and $11 million was recorded for the automotive experience business.

9. Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate

In calculating the provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the actual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company decreased its estimated annual effective income tax rate from continuing operations from 19% to 18.2% due to a reduction of income as well as a geographical shift in income. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 19%.

Valuation Allowance

The Company reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset are considered, along with any other positive or negative evidence. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Company's valuation allowances may be necessary.

It is reasonably possible that over the next twelve months, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions may result in a net increase to tax expense of up to $100 million.

Uncertain Tax Positions

At September 30, 2011, the Company had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $1,357 million of which $1,164 million, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. Total net accrued interest at September 30, 2011 was approximately $77 million (net of tax benefit). The net change in interest and penalties during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was $7 million, and for the same period in fiscal 2011 was $27 million. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

As a result of certain recent events related to prior tax planning initiatives, during the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reduced the reserve for uncertain tax positions by $22 million, including $13 million of interest and penalties, which impacts the effective tax rate for the quarter.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining its worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company is regularly under audit by tax authorities, including major jurisdictions noted below:

Impacts of Tax Legislation

During the nine month period ended June 30, 2012, tax legislation was adopted in Japan which reduces its income tax rate by 5%, the effect of which is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Also, tax legislation was adopted in various jurisdictions to limit the annual utilization of tax losses that are carried forward.

These and other tax law changes adopted in various jurisdictions during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

12. Earnings Per Share

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the reporting period that are calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options. The treasury stock method assumes that the Company uses the proceeds from the exercise of awards to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the purchase price that the grantee will pay in the future, compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized and any windfall tax benefits that would be credited to capital in excess of par value when the award generates a tax deduction. If there would be a shortfall resulting in a charge to capital in excess of par value, such an amount would be a reduction of the proceeds.

The Company’s outstanding Equity Units due 2042 and 6.5% convertible senior notes due 2012 are reflected in diluted earnings per share using the “if-converted” method. Under this method, if dilutive, the common stock is assumed issued as of the beginning of the reporting period and included in calculating diluted earnings per share. In addition, if dilutive, interest expense, net of tax, related to the outstanding Equity Units and convertible senior notes is added back to the numerator in calculating diluted earnings per share.

The Company consolidates certain subsidiaries in which the noncontrolling interest party has within their control the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of its interest in the subsidiary. The redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported at their estimated redemption value. Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts retained earnings but does not impact net income. Redeemable noncontrolling interests which are redeemable only upon future events, the occurrence of which is not currently probable, are recorded at carrying value.

14. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company selectively uses derivative instruments to reduce market risk associated with changes in foreign currency, commodities, stock-based compensation liabilities and interest rates. Under Company policy, the use of derivatives is restricted to those intended for hedging purposes; the use of any derivative instrument for speculative purposes is strictly prohibited. A description of each type of derivative utilized by the Company to manage risk is included in the following paragraphs. In addition, refer to Note 15, “Fair Value Measurements,” of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for information related to the fair value measurements and valuation methods utilized by the Company for each derivative type.

The Company has global operations and participates in the foreign exchange markets to minimize its risk of loss from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company primarily uses foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge certain of its foreign exchange rate exposures. The Company hedges 70% to 90% of the nominal amount of each of its known foreign exchange transactional exposures.

The Company has entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps to selectively hedge portions of its net investment in Japan. The currency effects of the cross-currency interest rate swaps are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) account within shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. where they offset gains and losses recorded on the Company’s net investment in Japan. At June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company had three cross currency interest rate swaps outstanding totaling 20 billion yen.

The Company uses commodity contracts in the financial derivatives market in cases where commodity price risk cannot be naturally offset or hedged through supply base fixed price contracts. Commodity risks are systematically managed pursuant to policy guidelines. As cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of AOCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions, typically sales or costs related to sales, occur and affect earnings. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is reflected in the consolidated statement of income. The maturities of the commodity contracts coincide with the expected purchase of the commodities. The Company had the following outstanding commodity hedge contracts that hedge forecasted purchases:

The Company selectively uses equity swaps to reduce market risk associated with certain of its stock-based compensation plans, such as its deferred compensation plans. These equity compensation liabilities increase as the Company’s stock price increases and decrease as the Company’s stock price decreases. In contrast, the value of the

swap agreement moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing the Company to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount. As of June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company had hedged approximately 4.3 million shares of its common stock.

The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risk associated with changes in interest rates for its fixed-rate notes. As fair value hedges, the interest rate swaps and related debt balances are valued under a market approach using publicized swap curves. Changes in the fair value of the swap and hedged portion of the debt are recorded in the consolidated statements of income. In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company entered into a fixed to floating interest rate swap totaling $100 million to hedge the coupon of its 5.8% bond maturing November 15, 2012, two fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $300 million to hedge the coupon of its 4.875% bond maturing September 15, 2013 and five fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $450 million to hedge the coupon of its 1.75% bond maturing March 1, 2014. These eight interest rate swaps were outstanding as of June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

In September 2005, the Company entered into three forward treasury lock agreements to reduce the market risk associated with changes in interest rates associated with the Company’s anticipated fixed-rate note issuance to finance the acquisition of York International Corp. (cash flow hedge). The three forward treasury lock agreements, which had a combined notional amount of $1.3 billion, fixed a portion of the future interest cost for 5-year, 10-year and 30-year notes. The fair value of each treasury lock agreement, or the difference between the treasury lock reference rate and the fixed rate at time of note issuance, is amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective note issuance. In January 2006, in connection with the Company’s debt refinancing, the three forward treasury lock agreements were terminated.

15. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 (in millions):

Valuation Methods

Foreign currency exchange derivatives – The Company selectively hedges anticipated transactions that are subject to foreign exchange rate risk primarily using foreign currency exchange hedge contracts. The foreign currency exchange derivatives are valued under a market approach using publicized spot and forward prices. As cash flow hedges under ASC 815, the effective portion of the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions occur and affect earnings. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is reflected in the consolidated statements of income. These contracts were highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates at June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011. The fair value of foreign currency exchange derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges under ASC 815, as well as those not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 are recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

Commodity derivatives – The Company selectively hedges anticipated transactions that are subject to commodity price risk, primarily using commodity hedge contracts, to minimize overall price risk associated with the Company’s purchases of lead, copper, tin and aluminum. The commodity derivatives are valued under a market approach using publicized prices, where available, or dealer quotes. As cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions, typically sales or cost related to sales, occur and affect earnings. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is reflected in the consolidated statements of income. These contracts were highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to commodity price changes at June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

Interest rate swaps and related debt – The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risk associated with changes in interest rates for its fixed-rate bonds. As fair value hedges, the interest rate swaps and

related debt balances are valued under a market approach using publicized swap curves. Changes in the fair value of the swap and hedged portion of the debt are recorded in the consolidated statements of income. In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company entered into a fixed to floating interest rate swap totaling $100 million to hedge the coupons of its 5.80% notes maturing November 15, 2012, two fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $300 million to hedge the coupon of its 4.875% notes maturing September 15, 2013 and five fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $450 million to hedge the coupon of its 1.75% bond maturing March 1, 2014. These eight interest rate swaps were outstanding as of June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

Investments in marketable common stock – The Company invests in certain marketable common stock, which is valued under a market approach using publicized share prices. As of June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company recorded unrealized gains of $11 million, $9 million and $10 million, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company also recorded unrealized losses of $3 million in accumulated other comprehensive income on these investments as of September 30, 2011, and no unrealized losses as of June 30, 2012 and 2011. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to an investment in marketable common stock due to the investee’s bankruptcy announcement in March 2012. As a result, the Company recorded a $14 million impairment charge within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the power solutions segment. The impairment reduced the investment to zero and was measured under a market approach using the publicized share price. The inputs utilized in the analysis are classified as Level 1 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820.

Equity swaps – The Company selectively uses equity swaps to reduce market risk associated with certain of its stock-based compensation plans, such as its deferred compensation plans. The equity swaps are valued under a market approach as the fair value of the swaps is equal to the Company’s stock price at the reporting period date. Changes in fair value on the equity swaps are reflected in the consolidated statement of income within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Cross-currency interest rate swaps – The Company selectively uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge the foreign currency rate risk associated with certain of its investments in Japan. The cross-currency interest rate swaps are valued using observable market data. Changes in the market value of the swaps are reflected in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income where they offset gains and losses recorded on the Company’s net investment in Japan. At June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company had three cross currency interest rate swaps outstanding totaling 20 billion yen.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The fair value of long-term debt, which was $6.2 billion, $4.9 billion and $4.9 billion at June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively, was determined using market quotes classified as Level 1 inputs within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.

 

16. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset group is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to an equity investment. Refer to Note 15, “Fair Value Measurements,” of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. The Company concluded it did not have any triggering events requiring assessment of impairment of its long-lived assets at June 30, 2012 and 2011.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company accrues for potential environmental liabilities in a manner consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; that is, when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. Reserves for environmental liabilities totaled $25 million, $30 million and $42 million at June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The Company reviews the status of its environmental sites on a quarterly basis and adjusts its reserves accordingly. Such potential liabilities accrued by the Company do not take into consideration possible recoveries of future insurance proceeds. They do, however, take into account the likely share other parties will bear at remediation sites. It is difficult to estimate the Company's ultimate level of liability at many remediation sites due to the large number of other parties that may be involved, the complexity of determining the relative liability among those parties, the uncertainty as to the nature and scope of the investigations and remediation to be conducted, the uncertainty in the application of law and risk assessment, the various choices and costs associated with diverse technologies that may be used in corrective actions at the sites, and the often quite lengthy periods over which eventual remediation may occur. Nevertheless, the Company does not currently believe that any claims, penalties or costs in connection with known environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the Company has identified asset retirement obligations for environmental matters that are expected to be addressed at the retirement, disposal, removal or abandonment of existing owned facilities, primarily in the power solutions business. At June 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company has recorded conditional asset retirement obligations of $70 million, $91 million and $95 million, respectively.

The Company is involved in a number of product liability and various other casualty lawsuits incident to the operation of its businesses. The Company maintains insurance coverages and records estimated costs for claims and suits of this nature. It is management's opinion that none of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Costs related to such matters were not material to the periods presented.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

of Johnson Controls, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position of Johnson Controls, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated November 22, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2011 is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.

Overview

Johnson Controls is a global diversified technology and industrial leader serving customers in more than 150 countries. We create quality products, services and solutions to optimize energy and operational efficiencies of buildings; lead-acid automotive batteries and advanced batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles; and interior systems for automobiles.

Johnson Controls was originally incorporated in the state of Wisconsin in 1885 as Johnson Electric Service Company to manufacture, install and service automatic temperature regulation systems for buildings. The Company was renamed to Johnson Controls, Inc. in 1974. In 1978, we acquired Globe-Union, Inc., a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of automotive batteries for both the replacement and original equipment markets. We entered the automotive seating industry in 1985 with the acquisition of Michigan-based Hoover Universal, Inc. In 2005, we acquired York International Corporation, a global supplier of heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment and services.

Our building efficiency business is a global market leader in designing, producing, marketing and installing integrated heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, building management systems, controls, security and mechanical equipment. In addition, the building efficiency business provides technical services, energy management consulting and operations of entire real estate portfolios for the non-residential buildings market. We also provide residential air conditioning and heating systems and industrial refrigeration products.

Our automotive experience business is one of the world’s largest automotive suppliers, providing innovative interior systems through our design and engineering expertise. Our technologies extend into virtually every area of the interior including seating and overhead systems, door systems, floor consoles, instrument panels, cockpits and integrated electronics. Customers include most of the world’s major automakers.

Our power solutions business is a leading global supplier of lead-acid automotive batteries for virtually every type of passenger car, light truck and utility vehicle. We serve both automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the general vehicle battery aftermarket. We supply batteries to power Start-Stop vehicles, as well as lithium-ion battery technologies to power certain hybrid and electric vehicles.

Table of Contents

The following information should be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2011 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, along with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. References in the following discussion and analysis to “Three Months” refer to the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011, while references to “Year-to-Date” refer to the nine months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2011.

Outlook

On July 19, 2012, the Company stated that due to continued softness in its global markets and expectations for a lower euro, it expects fiscal 2012 fourth quarter earnings to increase zero to five percent from the prior year fourth quarter, versus previous expectations for double-digit earnings improvements. This guidance is exclusive of any restructuring costs and the potential pension and postretirement mark-to-market adjustment in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter as discussed below. The Company disclosed that it expects additional significant restructuring actions in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company plans to change its accounting policy for recognizing pension and postretirement expenses. The current accounting treatment smoothes asset returns and amortizes deferred actuarial gains and losses over a number of years. The adoption of the new mark-to-market accounting method would recognize those gains and losses in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and would require a retrospective revision of prior years financial statements. The Company believes this new policy would provide greater transparency to on-going operational results. The change would have no impact on pension and postretirement funding or benefits paid to participants. The financial implications of this change are currently under review; however, the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter mark-to-market adjustment would likely be material.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company believes its capital resources and liquidity position at June 30, 2012 are adequate to meet projected needs. The Company believes requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, minimum pension contributions, debt maturities and any potential acquisitions in fiscal 2012 will continue to be funded from operations, supplemented by short- and long-term borrowings, if required. The Company currently manages its short-term debt position in the U.S. and euro commercial paper markets and bank loan markets. The Company continues to adjust its commercial paper maturities and issuance levels given market reactions to industry events and changes in the Company’s credit rating. In the event the Company is unable to issue commercial paper, it would have the ability to draw on its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility, which matures in February 2015. There were no draws on the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2012. As such, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future.

The Company’s debt financial covenants require a minimum consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. of at least $3.5 billion at all times and allow a maximum aggregated amount of 10% of consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. for liens and pledges. For purposes of calculating the Company’s covenants, consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. is calculated without giving effect to (i) the application of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 715-60, “Defined Benefit Plans—Other Postretirement,” or (ii) the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. As of June 30, 2012, consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. as defined per the Company’s debt financial covenants was $11.4 billion and there were no outstanding amounts for liens and pledges. The Company expects to remain in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in its credit agreements and indentures for the foreseeable future. None of the Company’s significant debt agreements limit access to stated borrowing levels or require accelerated repayment in the event of a decrease in the Company’s credit rating.

The key financial assumptions used in calculating the Company’s pension liability are determined annually, or whenever plan assets and liabilities are re-measured as required under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., including the expected rate of return on our plan assets. In fiscal 2012, the Company believes the long-term rate of return will approximate 8.50%, 5.25% and 6.30% for U.S. pension, non-U.S. pension, and postretirement health and other benefit plans, respectively. During the first nine months of fiscal 2012, the Company has made approximately $328 million and $60 million in total defined benefit pension and postretirement health contributions,

respectively. In total, the Company expects to contribute approximately $350 million and $60 million in cash to its defined benefit pension and postretirement health plans, respectively, in fiscal 2012.

Segment Analysis

Management evaluates the performance of its business units based primarily on segment income, which is defined as income from continuing operations before income taxes and noncontrolling interests excluding net financing charges and significant restructuring costs.

Estimated annual base effective tax rate

     18.2     19.0     18.2     19.0

 

   

In calculating the provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the annual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter.

 

   

In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company decreased its estimated annual effective income tax rate from 19% to 18.2% due to a reduction of income as well as a geographical shift in income.

 

   

As a result of certain recent events related to prior tax planning initiatives, during the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reduced the reserve for uncertain tax positions by $22 million, including $13 million of interest and penalties, which impacts the effective tax rate for the quarter.

The increase in income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the nine month period ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to higher earnings at certain automotive experience partially-owned affiliates in North America, building efficiency partially-owned affiliates in Asia and power solutions partially-owned affiliates.

The increase in working capital at June 30, 2012 as compared to September 30, 2011 was primarily due to higher inventory levels to support higher backlog levels and lower accounts payable primarily due to timing of supplier payments. Compared to June 30, 2011, the increase was primarily due to higher accounts receivable from higher sales volumes and lower accounts payable due to timing of supplier payments, partially offset by lower inventory levels based on increased turnover.

 

   

The Company’s days sales in accounts receivable for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were 53, compared to 52 and 55 for the comparable periods ended September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.
