Part I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Financial Statements.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Owens-Illinois, Inc. (“the Company”) presented herein are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and at the dates indicated.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Because the following unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X, they do not contain all information and footnotes normally contained in annual consolidated financial statements; accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through October 29, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.

 

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of a new accounting standard which changed the presentation of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. The format of the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, condensed consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008 have been reclassified to conform to the new presentation which is required to be applied retrospectively.

 

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of a new accounting standard which required the Company to allocate earnings to unvested restricted shares outstanding during the period. Earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were restated in accordance with the new provisions which are required to be applied retrospectively.

The convertible preferred stock was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 on an “if converted” basis for the period prior to its actual conversion on March 31, 2008, since the result was dilutive. For purposes of this computation, the preferred stock dividends were not subtracted from the numerator. Options to purchase 1,196,593 and 186,495 weighted average shares of common stock that were outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.

 

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of a new accounting standard which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment awards are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, must be included in the earnings allocation in calculating earnings per share under the two-class method. The new provisions require that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends be treated as participating securities in calculating earnings per share. The Company was required to allocate earnings to unvested restricted shares outstanding during the period. Basic earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were reduced by $0.03 per share in

accordance with the new provisions which require retrospective application.  Basic earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were not impacted.  There was no impact on basic earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 or diluted earnings per share in any period.

On June 14, 2006, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”).  At September 30, 2009, the Agreement included a $900.0 million revolving credit facility, a 225.0 million Australian dollar term loan, and a 110.8 million Canadian dollar term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of June 15, 2012.  It also included a $191.5 million term loan and a €191.5 million term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of June 14, 2013.

 

As a result of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and several of its subsidiaries, the Company believes that the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility was reduced by $32.3 million.  After further deducting amounts attributable to letters of credit and overdraft facilities that are supported by the revolving credit facility, at September 30, 2009 the Company’s subsidiary borrowers had unused credit of $761.2 million available under the Agreement.

 

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at September 30, 2009 was 2.40%.

 

During May 2009, a subsidiary of the Company issued senior notes with a face value of $600.0 million issued at 96.72% of face value for an effective interest rate of 8.00%.  The notes bear

 

10



 

interest at 7.375% and are due May 15, 2016.  The notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.  The net proceeds, after deducting commissions and expenses from the notes, approximated $568 million and were used to purchase in a tender offer $221.9 million of the $250 million principal amount of 7.50% Senior Debentures due May 2010 and to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facility.  The balance of the proceeds increased cash.  As a part of the issuance of these notes and the related tender offer, the Company recorded in the second quarter of 2009 additional interest charges of $5.2 million for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees, net of a gain from the termination of the interest rate swap agreement on the notes.

 

During October 2006, the Company entered into a €300 million European accounts receivable securitization program.  The program extends through October 2011, subject to annual renewal of backup credit lines.  In addition, the Company participates in a receivables financing program in the Asia Pacific region with a revolving funding commitment of 85 million Australian dollars and 25 million New Zealand dollars that expire January 2010 and November 2009, respectively.

6.  Contingencies

 

The Company is one of a number of defendants in a substantial number of lawsuits filed in numerous state and federal courts by persons alleging bodily injury (including death) as a result of exposure to dust from asbestos fibers.  From 1948 to 1958, one of the Company’s former business units commercially produced and sold approximately $40 million of a high-temperature, calcium-silicate based pipe and block insulation material containing asbestos.  The Company exited the pipe and block insulation business in April 1958.  The traditional asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims relating to such production and sale of asbestos material typically allege various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability and seek compensatory and in some cases, punitive damages in various amounts (herein referred to as “asbestos claims”).

 

As of September 30, 2009, the Company has determined that it is a named defendant in asbestos lawsuits and claims involving approximately 7,000 plaintiffs and claimants.  Based on an analysis of the lawsuits pending as of December 31, 2008, approximately 84% of plaintiffs either do not specify the monetary damages sought, or in the case of court filings, claim an amount sufficient to invoke the jurisdictional minimum of the trial court.  Approximately 15% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages of $15 million or less, and fewer than 1% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages greater than $15 million but less than $100 million.  Fewer than 1% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages $100 million or greater but less than $122 million.

 

As indicated by the foregoing summary, current pleading practice permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages.  The Company’s experience resolving hundreds of thousands of asbestos claims and lawsuits over an extended period, demonstrates that the monetary relief which may be alleged in a complaint bears little relevance to a claim’s merits or disposition value.  Rather, the amount potentially recoverable is determined by such factors as the plaintiff’s severity of disease, the product identification evidence against specific defendants, the defenses available to those defendants, the specific jurisdiction in which the claim is made, and the plaintiff’s history of smoking or exposure to other possible disease-causative factors.

 

In addition to the pending claims set forth above, the Company has claims-handling agreements in place with many plaintiffs’ counsel throughout the country.  These agreements require evaluation and negotiation regarding whether particular claimants qualify under the criteria established by such agreements. The criteria for such claims include verification of a compensable illness and a reasonable probability of exposure to a product manufactured by the Company’s former business unit during its manufacturing period ending in 1958.  Some plaintiffs’ counsel have historically withheld claims under these agreements for later presentation while focusing their attention on active litigation in the tort system.  The Company

 

15



 

believes that as of September 30, 2009 there are approximately 760 claims against other defendants which are likely to be asserted some time in the future against the Company. These claims are not included in the pending “lawsuits and claims” totals set forth above.

 

The Company is also a defendant in other asbestos-related lawsuits or claims involving maritime workers, medical monitoring claimants, co-defendants and property damage claimants.  Based upon its past experience, the Company believes that these categories of lawsuits and claims will not involve any material liability and they are not included in the above description of pending matters or in the following description of disposed matters.

 

Since receiving its first asbestos claim, the Company as of September 30, 2009, has disposed of the asbestos claims of approximately 374,000 plaintiffs and claimants at an average indemnity payment per claim of approximately $7,400.  Certain of these dispositions have included deferred amounts payable over a number of years.  Deferred amounts payable totaled approximately $33.2 million at September 30, 2009 ($34.0 million at December 31, 2008) and are included in the foregoing average indemnity payment per claim.  The Company’s indemnity payments for these claims have varied on a per claim basis, and are expected to continue to vary considerably over time.  As discussed above, a part of the Company’s objective is to achieve, where possible, resolution of asbestos claims pursuant to claims-handling agreements.  Failure of claimants to meet certain medical and product exposure criteria in the Company’s administrative claims handling agreements has generally reduced the number of marginal or suspect claims that would otherwise have been received. This may have the effect of increasing the Company’s per-claim average indemnity payment over time.

 

The Company believes that its ultimate asbestos-related liability (i.e., its indemnity payments or other claim disposition costs plus related legal fees) cannot be estimated with certainty. Beginning with the initial liability of $975 million established in 1993, the Company has accrued a total of approximately $3.47 billion through 2008, before insurance recoveries, for its asbestos-related liability.  The Company’s ability reasonably to estimate its liability has been significantly affected by the volatility of asbestos-related litigation in the United States, the inherent uncertainty of future disease incidence and claiming patterns, the expanding list of non-traditional defendants that have been sued in this litigation and found liable for substantial damage awards, the use of mass litigation screenings to generate new lawsuits, the large number of claims asserted or filed by parties who claim prior exposure to asbestos materials but have no present physical impairment as a result of such exposure, and the significant number of co-defendants that have filed for bankruptcy.

 

The Company has continued to monitor trends which may affect its ultimate liability and has continued to analyze the developments and variables affecting or likely to affect the resolution of pending and future asbestos claims against the Company. The material components of the Company’s accrued liability are based on amounts estimated by the Company in connection with its annual comprehensive review and consist of the following: (i) the reasonably probable contingent liability for asbestos claims already asserted against the Company; (ii) the contingent liability for preexisting but unasserted asbestos claims for prior periods arising under its administrative claims-handling agreements with various plaintiffs’ counsel; (iii) the contingent liability for asbestos claims not yet asserted against the Company, but which the Company believes it is reasonably probable will be asserted in the next several years, to the degree that an estimation as to future claims is possible; and (iv) the legal defense costs likely to be incurred in connection with the foregoing types of claims.

 

The significant assumptions underlying the material components of the Company’s accrual are:

 

16



 

a)   the extent to which settlements are limited to claimants who were exposed to the Company’s asbestos-containing insulation prior to its exit from that business in 1958;

 

b)   the extent to which claims are resolved under the Company’s administrative claims agreements or on terms comparable to those set forth in those agreements;

 

c)   the extent to which the Company’s accelerated settlements in 2007 and 2008 impact the number and type of future claims and lawsuits;

 

d)   the extent of decrease or increase in the incidence of serious disease cases and claiming patterns for such cases;

 

e)   the extent to which the Company is able to defend itself successfully at trial;

 

f)   the extent to which courts and legislatures eliminate, reduce or permit the diversion of financial resources for unimpaired claimants and so-called forum shopping;

 

g)   the extent to which additional defendants with substantial resources and assets are required to participate significantly in the resolution of future asbestos lawsuits and claims;

 

h)   the number and timing of additional co-defendant bankruptcies; and

 

i)   the extent to which co-defendant bankruptcy trusts direct resources to resolve claims that are also presented to the Company and the timing of the payments made by the bankruptcy trusts.

 

As noted above, the Company conducts a comprehensive review of its asbestos-related liabilities and costs annually in connection with finalizing and reporting its annual results of operations, unless significant changes in trends or new developments warrant an earlier review.  If the results of an annual comprehensive review indicate that the existing amount of the accrued liability is insufficient to cover its estimated future asbestos-related costs, then the Company will record an appropriate charge to increase the accrued liability.  The Company believes that an estimation of the reasonably probable amount of the contingent liability for claims not yet asserted against the Company is not possible beyond a period of several years.  Therefore, while the results of future annual comprehensive reviews cannot be determined, the Company expects the addition of one year to the estimation period will result in an annual charge.

 

Other litigation is pending against the Company, in many cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to the business of the Company and in others presenting allegations that are non-routine and involve compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims as well as other types of relief.  The Company records a liability for such matters when it is both probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated.  Recorded amounts are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in the factors upon which the estimates are based including additional information, negotiations, settlements, and other events.

 

The ultimate legal and financial liability of the Company with respect to the lawsuits and proceedings referred to above, in addition to other pending litigation, cannot be estimated with certainty.  The Company’s reported results of operations for 2008 were materially affected by

 

17



 

the $250.0 million ($248.8 million after tax) fourth quarter charge for asbestos-related costs and asbestos-related payments continue to be substantial.  Any future additional charge would likewise materially affect the Company’s results of operations for the period in which it is recorded. Also, the continued use of significant amounts of cash for asbestos-related costs has affected and will continue to affect the Company’s cost of borrowing and its ability to pursue global or domestic acquisitions. However, the Company believes that its operating cash flows and other sources of liquidity will be sufficient to pay its obligations for asbestos-related costs and to fund its working capital and capital expenditure requirements on a short-term and long-term basis.

 

7. Segment Information

 

The Company has four reportable segments based on its four geographic locations:  (1) Europe; (2) North America; (3) South America; (4) Asia Pacific.  These four segments are aligned with the Company’s internal approach to managing, reporting, and evaluating performance of its global glass operations.  Certain assets and activities not directly related to one of the regions or to glass manufacturing are reported with Retained Corporate Costs and Other.  These include licensing, equipment manufacturing, global engineering, and non-glass equity investments.  Retained Corporate Costs and Other also includes certain headquarters administrative and facilities costs and certain incentive compensation and other benefit plan costs that are global in nature and are not allocable to the reportable segments.

 

The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is Segment Operating Profit, which consists of consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, and provision for income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs.  The Company’s management uses Segment Operating Profit, in combination with selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources.

 

Segment Operating Profit for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided.

 

Financial information for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 regarding the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:

8. Other Expense

 

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company recorded charges totaling $57.5 million ($36.0 million after tax amount attributable to the Company) for restructuring and asset impairment.  The total of all such charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $113.1 million ($88.9 million after tax amount attributable to the Company).  The charges reflect the additional decisions reached in the Company’s ongoing strategic review of its global manufacturing footprint.  See Note 9 for additional information.

 

Charges for similar actions during the third quarter of 2008 totaled $90.6 million ($79.7 million after tax amount attributable to the Company). The total of all such charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $110.8 million ($92.7 million after tax amount attributable to the Company).  See Note 9 for additional information.

 

During the first nine months of 2008, the Company also recorded an additional $0.9 million (pretax and after tax amount attributable to the Company), related to the impairment of the Company’s equity investment in the South American Segment’s 50%-owned Caribbean affiliate.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company entered into a series of parallel market transactions to exchange Venezuelan bolivars into U.S. dollars.  In the parallel market, bolivars are valued significantly lower than the official government rate, giving rise to exchange losses from such transactions.  As a result, the Company recognized foreign currency exchange losses of $14.7 million in the quarter.

 

9.  Restructuring Accruals

 

Beginning in 2007, the Company commenced a strategic review of its global profitability and manufacturing footprint.  The combined 2007, 2008 and 2009 charges, amounting to $300.8 million ($239.2 million after tax amount attributable to the Company) reflect the decisions reached through September 30, 2009 in the Company’s ongoing strategic review of its global manufacturing footprint. The related curtailment of plant capacity and realignment of selected operations will result in an overall reduction in the Company’s workforce of approximately 2,500 jobs.  Amounts recorded by the Company do not include any gains that may be realized upon the ultimate sale or disposition of closed facilities.

 

The Company’s decisions to curtail selected production capacity have resulted in write downs of certain long-lived assets to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value less cost to sell.  The Company classified the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets, which was not material, as “Level 3” in the fair value hierarchy as set forth in the general accounting principles for fair value measurements.

 

20



 

The Company also recorded liabilities for certain employee separation costs to be paid under contractual arrangements and other exit costs.

 

2007

During the third and fourth quarters of 2007, the Company recorded charges totaling $55.3 million ($40.2 million after tax), for restructuring and asset impairment in Europe and North America.  The curtailment of plant capacity resulted in elimination of approximately 560 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce.

 

2008

During 2008, the Company recorded charges totaling $132.4 million ($110.1 million after tax amount attributable to the Company), for restructuring and asset impairment across all segments as well as in Retained Corporate Costs and Other.  The curtailment of plant capacity and realignment of selected operations resulted in elimination of approximately 1,240 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce.

 

2009

During the first three quarters of 2009, the Company recorded charges totaling $113.1 million ($88.9 million after tax amount attributable to the Company), for restructuring and asset impairment in Europe, North America and South America.  The charges in 2009 also include $8.7 million for the settlement of pension liabilities related to previously closed facilities.  The curtailment of plant capacity will result in elimination of approximately 700 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce.

 

The Company expects that the majority of the remaining estimated cash expenditures related to the above charges will be paid out by the end of 2009.

10. Derivative Instruments

 

The Company has certain derivative assets and liabilities which consist of interest rate swaps, natural gas forwards, and foreign exchange option and forward contracts.  The Company records derivative assets and liabilities at fair value and classifies them as “Level 2” in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Fair Value Hedges

 

In the fourth quarter of 2003 and the first quarter of 2004, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $700 million that were to mature in 2010 and 2013. The swaps were executed in order to: (i) convert a portion of the senior notes and senior debentures fixed-rate debt into floating-rate debt; (ii) maintain a capital structure containing appropriate amounts of fixed and floating-rate debt; and (iii) reduce net interest payments and expense in the near-term.

 

The Company’s fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps were accounted for as fair value hedges. Because the relevant terms of the swap agreements matched the corresponding terms of the notes, there was no hedge ineffectiveness. Accordingly, the Company recorded the net of the fair market values of the swaps as a long-term asset (liability) along with a corresponding net increase (decrease) in the carrying value of the hedged debt.

 

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument related to the future cash flows (gain or loss on the derivative) as well as the offsetting change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the

 

22



 

hedged risk are recognized in current earnings.  The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items (i.e. long-term debt) in the same line item (interest expense) as the offsetting loss or gain on the related interest rate swaps.

 

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company completed a tender offer for its $250 million senior debentures due 2010.  As a result of the tender offer, the Company extinguished $221.9 million of the senior debentures and terminated the related interest rate swap agreements for proceeds of $5.0 million.  The Company recognized $4.4 million of the proceeds as a reduction to interest expense upon the termination of the interest rate swap agreements, while the remaining $0.6 million was recorded as an adjustment to debt and is being recognized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining life of the outstanding senior debentures due 2010.  See Note 2 for additional information.

 

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company’s interest rate swaps related to the $450 million senior notes due 2013 were terminated.  The Company received proceeds of $12.4 million which were recorded as an adjustment to debt and will be recognized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining life of the senior notes due 2013.

 

As of September 30, 2009, the balance of unamortized proceeds from terminated interest rate swaps included in long-term debt is $11.6 million.

 

The effect of the interest rate swaps on the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Commodity Futures Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

 

The Company enters into commodity futures contracts related to forecasted natural gas requirements, the objectives of which are to limit the effects of fluctuations in the future market price paid for natural gas and the related volatility in cash flows. The Company continually evaluates the natural gas market with respect to its forecasted usage requirements over the next twelve to twenty-four months and periodically enters into commodity futures contracts in order to hedge a portion of its usage requirements over that period. At September 30, 2009, the Company had entered into commodity futures contracts covering approximately 6,600,000 MM BTUs over that period.

 

The Company accounts for the above futures contracts as cash flow hedges at September 30, 2009 and recognizes them on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as, and meets the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge is recorded in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of share owners’ equity (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which

 

23



 

the underlying hedged item affects earnings. At September 30, 2009, an unrecognized loss of $12.8 million (pretax and after tax) related to the commodity futures contracts was included in Accumulated OCI, and will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve to twenty-four months.  Any material portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is deemed to be ineffective is recognized in current earnings.  The ineffectiveness related to these natural gas hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was not material.

 

The effect of the commodity futures contracts on the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:
