CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flow and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010 have been prepared by the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2011 and results of operations and cash flow for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The Companys fiscal year begins on January 1st and ends on December 31st. Quarterly periods are based on a 4 weeks - 4 weeks - 5 weeks methodology. As a result, the first quarter can include a partial or expanded week in the first four week period of the quarter. Similarly, the last five week period in the fourth quarter could include a partial or expanded week. Certain subsidiaries operating outside of North America are included for periods beginning and ending one month prior to the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements, which enables timely consolidation of operating results. There were no material intervening events that occurred with respect to these subsidiaries in the one month period prior to the period presented.
On May 5, 2011, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split of the Companys common stock. The stock split was structured in the form of a 100% stock dividend, payable on June 1, 2011 to stockholders of record as of May 16, 2011. All applicable amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
The Company incurred research and development expenses in the third quarter of 2011 and 2010 of $14.0 million and $13.1 million, respectively. The Company incurred research and development expenses in the first nine months of 2011 and 2010 of $39.7 million and $38.6 million, respectively. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
2. | New Accounting Pronouncements |
There have been no accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted by the Company which are expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Accounting pronouncements that became effective during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 did not require the Company to include additional financial statement disclosures and had no impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

5. | Earnings Per Share (EPS) |
Basic EPS is calculated based on income available to common shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS reflects additional dilution from potential common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a diluted basis.

The fair value of stock options is based upon the Black Scholes option pricing model. The Company determined the options life based on historical exercise behavior and determined the options expected volatility and dividend yield based on the historical changes in stock price and dividend payments. The risk free interest rate is based on the yield of an applicable term Treasury instrument.
Stock compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $0.0 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2010.
8. | Fair Value Measurements |
Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs (generally, assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability) used to measure fair value based on the quality and reliability of the information provided by the inputs, as follows:
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.
8
The Company recognizes transfers between input levels as of the actual date of the event. There were no transfers between input levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The following table summarizes the Companys financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, all of which were measured based on Level 2 inputs:

The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts is based on observable forward rates in commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the contract.
The fair value of the equity derivatives is based on the quoted market prices of Company stock at the end of each reporting period.
The fair value of the diesel fuel contracts is based on home heating oil futures prices for the duration of the contract.
Fair Values of Other Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Companys other financial instruments at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments reflected in the consolidated balance sheets:
Note Receivable: The fair value of the note receivable reflects what management believes is the appropriate interest factor at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, based on similar risks in the market.
Short-term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of the Companys unsecured lines of credit and accounts receivable securitization equal fair value due to their short maturities and variable interest rates.
Senior Notes: The Company determines fair value of its senior notes based upon their quoted market value.
9. | Derivative Instruments and Risk Management |
Changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the price of the Companys common stock and commodity prices expose the Company to market risk. The Company manages these risks by the use of derivative instruments, such as cash flow hedges, diesel fuel hedge contracts, equity derivatives and foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company does not use
9
derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company formally designates and documents qualifying instruments as hedges of underlying exposures when it enters into derivative arrangements. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as hedges and qualifying for hedge accounting are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings during the period in which the hedged exposure affects earnings. The Company reviews the effectiveness of its hedging instruments on a quarterly basis. If the Company determines that a derivative instrument is no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows, it recognizes in current period earnings the hedge ineffectiveness and discontinues hedge accounting with respect to the derivative instrument. Changes in fair value for derivatives not designated as hedges or those not qualifying for hedge accounting are recognized in current period earnings. Upon termination of cash flow hedges, the Company reclassifies gains and losses from other comprehensive income based on the timing of the underlying cash flows, unless the termination results from the failure of the intended transaction to occur in the expected timeframe. Such untimely transactions require immediate recognition in earnings of gains and losses previously recorded in other comprehensive income.
For additional details on the Companys risk management activities and accounting for the Companys derivative instruments, refer to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
The following tables summarize the fair value of the Companys derivative instruments and the effect of derivative instruments on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Income and on other comprehensive income (OCI):

Securitization
During the period ended September 30, 2011, the Company repaid a net amount of $90 million under its accounts receivable securitization facility. In February 2011, the accounts receivable securitization facility was renewed with a new maturity date of February 2012 under similar terms and conditions to those previously in effect.
Commercial Paper Program
In the third quarter of 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with two banks to establish a commercial paper program (the Program). Under the Program, the Company may issue notes from time to time up to an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any given time of $500 million. The maturities of the notes will vary but may not exceed 397 days. The notes will be sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and will be issued at a discount to par or, alternatively, will be sold at par and will bear varying interest rates based on a fixed or floating rate basis. The interest rates will vary based on market conditions and the ratings assigned to the notes by the credit rating agencies at the time of issuance. Subject to market conditions, the Company intends to utilize the Program as its primary short-term borrowing facility and does not intend to sell unsecured commercial paper notes in excess of the available amount under its revolving credit agreement. If, for any reason, the Company is unable to access the commercial paper market, the revolving credit agreement would be utilized to meet the Companys short-term liquidity needs.
Amendment to Credit Agreement
The Company recently amended its Credit Agreement to support the Companys inaugural $500 million Commercial Paper program. Total combined borrowing for both the credit facility and the commercial paper program may not exceed $500 million. Additionally, the Credit Agreement was extended through August 2016.
13. | Comprehensive Income |

Pension costs are lower in 2011 as compared to 2010 due in part to the termination of the Church & Dwight Co., Inc. Retirement Plan for Hourly Employees (a U.S. pension plan) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2010. Additionally,
14
effective in the first quarter of 2011, the Company reduced the future service benefits provided by its pension plans in the United Kingdom. A $0.7 million reduction to the United Kingdom pension plan benefit obligations was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010.
The Company made cash contributions of approximately $3.9 million to its pension plans during the first nine months of 2011. The Company estimates it will be required to make additional cash contributions to its pension plans of approximately $0.8 million during the remainder of 2011 to offset 2011 benefit payments and administrative costs in excess of investment returns.
15. | Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees |
a. In December 1981, the Company formed a partnership with a supplier of raw materials that mines and processes sodium-based mineral deposits. The Company purchases the majority of its sodium-based raw material requirements from the partnership. The partnership agreement terminates upon two years written notice by either partner. Under the partnership agreement, the Company has an annual commitment to purchase 240,000 tons of sodium-based raw materials at the prevailing market price. The Company is not engaged in any other material transactions with the partnership or the Companys partner.
b. The Companys distribution of condoms under the TROJAN and other trademarks is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Certain of the Companys condoms, and similar condoms sold by the Companys competitors, contain the spermicide nonoxynol-9 (N-9). Some interested groups have issued reports that N-9 should not be used rectally or for multiple daily acts of vaginal intercourse. In late 2008, the FDA issued final labeling guidance for latex condoms but excluded N-9 lubricated condoms from the guidance. While the Company awaits further FDA guidance on N-9 lubricated condoms, the Company believes that its present labeling for condoms with N-9 is compliant with the overall objectives of the FDAs guidance, and that condoms with N-9 will remain a viable contraceptive choice for those couples who wish to use them. However, the Company cannot predict the nature of the labeling that ultimately will be required by the FDA. If the FDA or state governments eventually promulgate rules that prohibit or restrict the use of N-9 in condoms (such as new labeling requirements), the Company could incur costs from obsolete products, packaging or raw materials, and sales of condoms could decline, which, in turn, could decrease the Companys operating income.
c. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had commitments through 2014 to acquire approximately $140.2 million of raw materials, packaging supplies and services from its vendors at market prices. The increase in commitments from $118.8 million at December 31, 2010 is principally the result of a new four-year information systems service agreement. These commitments enable the Company to respond quickly to changes in customer orders or requirements.
d. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had the following guarantees; (i) $3.7 million in outstanding letters of credit drawn on several banks which guarantee payment for such things as insurance claims in the event of the Companys insolvency; (ii) insolvency protection guarantee of approximately $19 million to one of its United Kingdom pension plans effective January 1, 2011; (iii) $2.6 million worth of assets in guarantees for its Brazil operations for value added tax assessments currently under appeal; and (iv) guarantees of approximately $0.8 million for the payment of rent on a leased facility in Spain which expires in November 2012.
e. In connection with the Companys acquisition of Unilevers oral care brands in the United States and Canada in October 2003, the Company is required to make additional performance-based payments of a minimum of $5.0 million and a maximum of $12.0 million over the eight year period following the acquisition. The Company made cash payments of $0.4 million, and accrued a payment of $0.1 million during the first nine months of 2011. The payment and accrual were accounted for as additional purchase price. The Company recorded the final performance-based payments in October 2011, and will have paid approximately $11.1 million for the eight years of this acquisition agreement.
f. In 2000, the Company acquired majority ownership in its Brazilian subsidiary, Quimica Geral Do Nordeste S.A. (QGN). The acquired operations included an inorganic salt manufacturing plant which began site operations in the late 1970s. Located on the site were two closed landfills, two active landfills and a pond for the management of the process waste streams. In 2009, QGN was advised by environmental authorities in the State of Bahia, the Institute of the Environment (IMA), that the plant was discharging contaminants into an adjacent creek. After learning of the discharge, QGN took immediate action to cease the discharge and retained two nationally recognized environmental firms to prepare a site investigation / remedial action plan (SI/RA). The SI/RA report was submitted by QGN to IMA in July 2010. The
15
report concluded that the likely sources of the discharge were the pond and closed landfills.
In November 2010, IMA responded to QGNs recommendation for an additional study by issuing a notification requiring a broad range of remediation measures (the Remediation Notification). In addition, notwithstanding repeated discussions with IMA at QGNs request to consider QGNs proposed remediation alternatives, in December 2010, IMA imposed a fine of five million reals (approximately $3 million) for the discharge of contaminants above allowable limits. Also in December 2010, QGN filed with IMA an administrative defense to the fine. IMA has not yet responded to QGNs administrative defense.
With respect to the Remediation Notification, QGN engaged in discussions with IMA during which QGN asserted that a number of the remediation measures and the timeframes for implementation were not appropriate and requested that the Remediation Notification be withdrawn. In response, IMA issued a revised Remediation Notification providing for further site analysis by QGN. QGN has responded to the revised Remediation Notification providing clarification to the remediation measures and intends to continue discussions with the Institute of Environment and Waste Management (INEMA), successor to IMA, to seek agreement on a rational and appropriate remediation plan. QGN discontinued operations at the site in late 2010. QGN continues to conduct appropriate remedial activities, based upon the revised Remediation Notification, at the site during the discussions with INEMA.
As a result of the foregoing events, the Company accrued approximately $3 million in 2009 and an additional $4.8 million in 2010 for remediation, fines and related costs. However, the Company cannot assure that additional costs will not be incurred in connection with this matter.
g. In June 2009, the Company received a subpoena and civil investigative demand from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in connection with a non-public investigation in which the FTC is seeking to determine if the Company has engaged or is engaging in any unfair methods of competition with respect to the distribution and sale of condoms in the United States through potentially exclusionary practices. The Company believes that its distribution and sales practices involving the sale of condoms in the United States are in full compliance with applicable law. The FTC notified the Company in March 2011 that it has not made a determination as to whether to take any further administrative or legal action. In the meantime, the Company continues to comply with the subpoena.
h. The Company has recorded liabilities for uncertain income tax positions that, although supportable, may be challenged by the tax authorities. The years 2008 and 2009 are currently under audit by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and several state taxing authorities. In addition, certain statutes of limitation are scheduled to expire in the near future. It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months the liabilities for uncertain tax positions may decrease by approximately $14.0 million related to the settlement of these audits or the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations. Of this amount, $1.6 million would be offset by a corresponding reduction in the amount of deferred tax assets on the balance sheet. At this time, the Company is not able to make a reasonable estimate of the impact on the effective tax rate from the potential decrease in liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
i. On July 20, 2011, the Company entered into a 20 year lease for a new corporate headquarters building that will be constructed in Ewing, New Jersey (approximately 10 miles from the Companys existing corporate headquarters in Princeton, New Jersey). Based on current expectations that the facility will be completed and occupied beginning in early 2013, the lease will expire in 2033. The Companys lease commitment is approximately $116 million. In conjunction with its lease of the new headquarters building, the Company will be vacating three leased facilities adjacent to its current Princeton headquarters facility.
j. The Company, in the ordinary course of its business, is the subject of, or a party to, various other pending or threatened legal actions. The Company believes that any ultimate liability arising from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

17. | Restructuring Activities |
International Facility Closing Costs
During the third quarter of 2010, the Company decided to cease operations at two plants at one of its international subsidiaries. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred and recognized $0.9 million in exit and disposal costs. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had incurred and paid a cumulative total of $1.4 million relating to exit and disposal costs. These charges were included in cost of sales in the Specialty Products segment. All other costs associated with the international plant shut down activity will be recorded in the period in which the liability is incurred (generally, when goods or services associated with the activity are received).
North Brunswick, New Jersey Closing Costs
In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company completed construction and started operations in its integrated laundry detergent manufacturing plant and distribution center in York, Pennsylvania. In conjunction with the opening of the new facility, the Company closed its existing laundry detergent manufacturing plant and distribution facility in North Brunswick, New Jersey.

Green River, Wyoming
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company announced its decision to relocate a portion of its Green River, Wyoming operations to a newly leased site in Victorville, California in the first half of 2012 pending final local approval. Specifically, the Company will be relocating its cat litter manufacturing operations and distribution center to this southern California site to be closer to transportation hubs and its West Coast customers. The site will also produce liquid laundry detergent
17
products and is expandable to meet future business needs. The Companys sodium bicarbonate operations and other consumer product manufacturing will remain at the Green River facility.
The Company expects to invest approximately $35 million in capital expenditures and incur approximately $7 million in transition expenses in connection with the opening of the Victorville site and costs associated with the changes anticipated at the Green River facility through 2012. These expenditures will be recorded in the Consumer Domestic segment. Capital expenditures related to the new project in 2011 are expected to be approximately $11 million. The transition expenses include anticipated severance costs and accelerated depreciation of equipment at the Companys Green River facility and one-time project expenses. The Company has recorded approximately $1.7 million of accelerated depreciation expense in cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Recent Developments
Two-for-one stock split
On May 5, 2011, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split of the Companys common stock. The stock split was structured in the form of a 100% stock dividend, payable on June 1, 2011 to stockholders of record as of May 16, 2011. All applicable amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
Acquisition
On June 28, 2011, the Company acquired the BATISTE dry shampoo brand from Vivalis, Limited (the Batiste Acquisition) for cash consideration of $64.8 million. The Company used available cash to pay for the acquisition. BATISTE annual sales are approximately $20.0 million. The BATISTE brand will be managed principally within the Consumer International segment.
New Corporate Office Building
On July 20, 2011, the Company entered into a 20 year lease for a new corporate headquarters building that will be constructed in Ewing, New Jersey (approximately 10 miles from the Companys existing corporate headquarters in Princeton, New Jersey). Based on current expectations that the facility will be completed and occupied beginning in early 2013, the lease will expire in 2033. The Companys lease commitment is approximately $116 million. In conjunction with its lease of the new headquarters building, the Company will be vacating three leased facilities adjacent to its current Princeton headquarters facility.
Share Repurchase Authorization
On August 3, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of the Companys common stock. Any purchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to market conditions, corporate and legal requirements and other factors. There is no expiration date on the stock repurchase authorization, and the Company is not obligated to acquire any specific number of shares. The Company did not make any repurchases under the Board of Directors authorization during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. It is expecting to repurchase approximately $80 million before December 31, 2011.
Commercial Paper Program
In the third quarter of 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with two banks to establish a commercial paper program (the Program). Under the Program, the Company may issue notes from time to time up to an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any given time of $500 million. The maturities of the notes will vary but may not exceed 397 days. The notes will be sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and will be issued at a discount to par or, alternatively, will be sold at par and will bear varying interest rates based on a fixed or floating rate basis. The interest rates will vary based on market conditions and the ratings assigned to the notes by the credit rating agencies at the time of issuance. Subject to market conditions, the Company intends to utilize the Program as its primary short-term borrowing facility and does not intend to sell unsecured commercial paper notes in excess of the available amount under its revolving credit agreement. If, for any reason, the Company is unable to access the commercial paper market, the revolving credit agreement would be utilized to meet the Companys short-term liquidity needs. The Company recently amended its Credit Agreement to support the Companys inaugural $500 million commercial paper program. Total combined borrowing for both the credit facility and the commercial paper program may not exceed $500 million. Additionally, the Credit Agreement was extended through August 2016.
20
Information Systems Upgrade
The Company upgraded its information systems at its subsidiary in Canada effective October 1, 2011. This same upgrade will be implemented next year at the U.S. operations effective as of January 1, 2012 and certain other subsidiaries currently scheduled during the second quarter of 2012. Fourth quarter 2011 reported sales may benefit from customer orders prior to the companys January 2012 information system upgrade in the U. S. The Company also anticipates a higher level of working capital as of December 31, 2011, as a result.
New Joint Venture
On September 22, 2011, the Company, together with FMC Corporation and TATA Chemicals, formed an air pollution control joint venture, Natronx Technologies LLC (Natronx). The Company has a one-third ownership in the joint venture and the investment will be accounted for under the equity method. All members will share equally in the operating results and cash flows of the business. Each member will have an equal amount of board of director positions and no member will have the ability to direct the activities of the venture. The joint venture will engage in the manufacturing and marketing of sodium-based, dry sorbents for air pollution control in electric utility and industrial boiler operations. Natronx intends to invest approximately $60 million to construct a 450,000 ton per year facility in Wyoming to produce trona sorbents by the fourth quarter of 2012, of which the cost will be equally shared among all members.
Results of Operations
Consolidated Results
Net Sales
Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were $701.0 million, an increase of $44.1 million or 6.7% over the third quarter of 2010. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $2,018.2 million, $85.9 million or 4.4% above the comparable nine month period of 2010. The components of the net sales increase are the following:

(1) | On June 28, 2011, the Company acquired the BATISTE dry shampoo product line. In 2010, the Company acquired the SIMPLY SALINE product line on June 4, 2010, and the FELINE PINE product line on December 21, 2010. Net sales of the acquired product lines subsequent to the respective acquisition dates are included in the Companys results. |
(2) | Product lines divested include the BRILLO and certain LAMBERT KAY product lines, which were divested in the first quarter of 2010. |
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the volume change reflects increases of products sold in the Consumer Domestic and Consumer International segments. Pricing had a limited impact on total net sales, as the favorable pricing for SPD and Consumer International products was offset somewhat by the unfavorable pricing for Consumer Domestic products. Third quarter 2011 sales benefited from a timing shift in customer buying patterns from the fourth quarter of this year to the third quarter in anticipation of the October 2011 information systems upgrade in Canada. The impact on Income before Income Taxes was not material. The discontinued product line reflects the Companys decision in late 2010 to cease a foreign subsidiarys sale of a certain chemical product line. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the volume change primarily reflects increased consumer products sales in the Consumer Domestic and Consumer International segments. Specialty Product volumes were essentially unchanged. The reduction in net sales for the first nine months of 2011 resulting from pricing primarily reflect higher trade promotion expenses. Other components of the net sales increase
21
for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 include the Companys change in delivery arrangements with certain customers at the beginning of the second quarter of 2010, which resulted in a reduction in net sales due to a transportation allowance for a customer pick-up program. Previously, the cost to ship product was included in cost of sales. As the change in delivery arrangements was in effect during the third quarter of both 2011 and 2010, the change was not a component of the net sales increase for the third quarter of 2011.
Operating Costs
The Companys gross profit was $309.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, a $20.9 million increase as compared to the same period in 2010. The gross profit increase was attributable to higher sales volume, contributions from the acquired product lines, favorable pricing and sales mix, the effect of cost reduction programs and favorable foreign exchange rates. Gross profit improvement was partially offset by higher commodity costs. However, price increases for detergent and condoms mitigated a portion of the significant increases in the cost of resins, surfactants and latex. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, gross profit was $898.0 million, an increase of $32.7 million as compared to the same period in 2010. The factors causing the increase in gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are primarily the same as those applicable to the third quarter of 2011 except that the increase is partially offset by higher commodity costs and unfavorable pricing and sales mix. Gross margin increased 20 basis points to 44.2% in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to 44.0% in the same quarter of 2010. This increase is principally due to manufacturing cost reduction projects, offset in part by higher commodity costs and an unfavorable product mix. Gross margin decreased 30 basis points to 44.5% in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to 44.8% in the same period of 2010, primarily due to higher commodity costs, higher trade promotion spending and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by the effect of manufacturing cost reduction programs.
Marketing expenses were $91.8 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $1.6 million or 1.8% as compared to the same period in 2010. Marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales were 13.1% and 13.7% in the three months ended 2011 and 2010, respectively. Marketing spending primarily was in support of the Companys eight power brands and the recently acquired BATISTE and FELINE PINE product lines, and also reflect increases due to changes in exchange rates. Marketing expenses for the first nine months of 2011 were $248.5 million, an increase of $6.6 million as compared to the same period in 2010. The factors causing the increase in marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are primarily the same as those applicable to third quarter 2011 marketing expenses. Marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales were 12.3% in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to 12.5% in the same period last year.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $91.8 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $6.0 million as compared to the same period in 2010. The increase is attributable to higher legal expenses due in part to the Companys response to the Federal Trade Commissions subpoena and civil investigative demand described in Note 15g to the consolidated financial statements included in this report, higher research and development expenses, transition and amortization expense related to the product lines acquired in 2010 and 2011 and the effect of foreign exchange rates. SG&A expenses for the first nine months of 2011 were $274.3 million, an increase of $15.8 million over the same period in 2010. The factors causing the increase in SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are the same as those applicable to third quarter of 2011. In addition, during the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a $1.0 million gain on the sale of certain LAMBERT KAY products, which reduced SG&A expenses in 2010.
Other Income and Expenses
Equity in earnings of affiliates increased by $2.1 million in the quarter and $4.7 million for the nine month period as compared to the same periods of last year. The increase is due to higher equity income from the Companys Armand Products Company joint venture primarily as a result of lower costs of a key raw material.
Investment income in the three and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 increased $0.4 million and $1.0 million respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due to higher investment returns and interest received on a Federal tax refund.
Interest expense in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 decreased $5.8 million and $14.0 million respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010. The decline was due to lower average debt outstanding as a result of the Companys new debt structure put in place in late 2010. In the third quarter of 2010, the Company terminated its interest rate collar and interest swap agreements which resulted in a charge of $4.3 million. (See Note 11 to the
22
consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 for further information.)
Taxation
The effective tax rate in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 was 36.8% and 34.7% respectively, compared to 34.4% and 35.6% in the same periods last year. The lower effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2010 reflects an income tax benefit of approximately $4 million related to the reversal of certain tax liabilities following the settlement of an IRS audit and the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations. The 2011 rate was favorably affected by a deferred income tax benefit of approximately $6 million relating to New Jerseys corporate tax reform legislation enacted in April 2011. The 2011 annual effective tax rate is projected to be approximately 35%.
Segment results

Consumer Domestic
Consumer Domestic net sales in the third quarter of 2011 were $506.1 million, an increase of $24.8 million or 5.2% as compared to the third quarter of 2010. Consumer Domestic net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $1,459.5 million, an increase of $46.0 million or 3.3% as compared to the same period of 2010.

(2) | Product lines divested include the BRILLO and certain LAMBERT KAY product lines, which were divested in the first quarter of 2010. |
In the three month period ended September 30, 2011, higher sales of ARM & HAMMER liquid and powder laundry detergent, XTRA liquid laundry detergent, ARM & HAMMER cat litter and sales of the acquired product lines were offset by lower sales of OXICLEAN laundry additive. The increase in net sales for the nine month period was primarily due to higher sales of ARM & HAMMER liquid and powder laundry detergents, XTRA liquid laundry detergent, ARM & HAMMER cat litter and sales of the acquired product lines, offset by lower sales of OXICLEAN laundry additive.
Consumer Domestic income before income taxes in the third quarter of 2011 was $99.6 million, an $8.6 million increase as compared to the third quarter of 2010. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, income before income taxes was $298.5 million, a $10.7 million increase as compared to the first nine months of 2010. The third quarter increase is due to higher sales, principally reflecting an increase in sales volume, the impact of price increases for detergent and condoms, the effect of manufacturing cost reduction programs, the effect of acquisitions and lower allocated interest expense partially offset by higher legal expenses, higher marketing expenses and higher commodity costs (reflecting significant increases in the cost of resin, surfactants and latex). The nine month increase reflects higher product volumes sold, the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures, and lower allocated interest expense, partially offset by higher commodity costs, higher trade promotion expenses, unfavorable sales mix and higher SG&A expenses.
Consumer International

Consumer International net sales were $128.5 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $19.4 million or 17.8% as compared to the third quarter of 2010. Consumer International net sales in the first nine months of 2011 were $364.1 million, an increase of $40.3 million or approximately 12.4% as compared to the same period in 2010.

Higher sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 occurred principally in Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico and Australia and also reflected increased U.S. exports. Net sales in France were also higher in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the prior year. Sales in Canada benefited from a timing shift in customer buying patterns from the fourth quarter of this year to the third quarter in anticipation of the October information systems upgrade. The impact on Income before Income Taxes was not material.
Consumer International income before income taxes was $14.7 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $3.1 million compared to 2010. Higher profits are attributable to the higher sales volume, favorable pricing and sales mix and the translation of foreign financial statements to U.S. dollars. For the first nine months of 2011, income before income taxes was $47.3 million, an $8.5 million increase as compared to the first nine months of 2010. The factors causing the increase in Consumer International income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are the same as those applicable to the third quarter of 2011, except that the increase is partially offset by unfavorable pricing and sales mix.
Specialty Products
Specialty Products (SPD) net sales were $66.4 million in the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.2% as compared to 2010. SPD net sales were $194.6 million for the first nine months of 2011, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 0.2% as compared to the same period of 2010.

The pricing increase in 2011 reflects higher sales prices in response to raw material increases primarily in the animal nutrition and performance products businesses. The sales volume decrease reflects lower U.S. exports. The discontinued product line reflects the Companys decision in late 2010 to cease a foreign subsidiarys sale of a certain chemical product line. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were impacted by a slight sales volume decline and the discontinued product line offset by pricing.
25
Specialty Products income before income taxes was $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $6.4 million as compared to 2010, and was $22.6 million for the first nine months of 2011, an increase of $5.3 million as compared to the same nine month period of 2010. The increase in the third quarter income is a result of higher sales prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs. Also, income before income taxes during the third quarter of 2010 was adversely affected by a $3.8 million environmental charge relating to one of the Companys international subsidiaries. The increase in income for the first nine months of 2011 reflects higher selling prices and favorable sales mix and the prior effect of the 2010 environmental charge on prior period income, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs of certain animal nutrition products. The impact of the discontinued product on income before income taxes was not material.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $275.0 million in cash, $115 million available under the Companys accounts receivable securitization facility, approximately $500 million available under its revolving credit facility and a commitment increase feature under the revolving credit facility that enables the Company to borrow up to an additional $500 million, subject to agreement of lenders and satisfaction of certain conditions in the credit agreement. To enhance the safety of its cash resources, the Company invests its cash primarily in prime money market funds.
As of September 30, 2011, the amount of cash and cash equivalents, included in the Companys consolidated cash, that was held by foreign subsidiaries was approximately $105.4 million. If these funds are needed for operations in the U.S. the Company would be required to accrue and pay taxes in the U.S. to repatriate these funds. However, the Companys intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside the U.S. and the Companys current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund operations in the U.S.
During the nine months of 2011, the Company repaid a net of $90 million outstanding under its accounts receivable securitization facility. In February 2011, the accounts receivable securitization facility was renewed with a new maturity date of February 2012 under similar terms and conditions to those previously in effect.
In the third quarter of 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with two banks to establish a commercial paper program (the Program). Under the Program, the Company may issue notes from time to time up to an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any given time of $500 million. The maturities of the notes will vary but may not exceed 397 days. The notes will be sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and will be issued at a discount to par or, alternatively, will be sold at par and will bear varying interest rates based on a fixed or floating rate basis. The interest rates will vary based on market conditions and the ratings assigned to the notes by the credit rating agencies at the time of issuance. Subject to market conditions, the Company intends to utilize the Program as its primary short-term borrowing facility and does not intend to sell unsecured commercial paper notes in excess of the available amount under the revolving credit agreement. If, for any reason, the Company is unable to access the commercial paper market, the revolving credit agreement would be utilized to meet the Companys short-term liquidity needs. The Company recently amended its Credit Agreement to support the Companys inaugural $500 million Commercial Paper program. Total combined borrowing for both the credit facility and the commercial paper program may not exceed $500 million. Additionally, the Credit Agreement was extended through August 2016.
The current economic environment presents risks that could have adverse consequences for the Companys liquidity. (See Economic conditions could adversely affect our business under Risk Factors in Item 1A of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.) The Company does not anticipate that current economic conditions will adversely affect its ability to comply with the financial covenants in its principal credit facilities because the Company currently is, and anticipates that it will continue to be, in compliance with the minimum interest coverage ratio requirement and the maximum leverage ratio requirement under its credit facility. These financial ratios are discussed in more detail in this section under Certain Financial Covenants.
The Company anticipates that its cash from operations, together with its current borrowing capacity, will be sufficient to fund its estimated capital expenditures, which are expected to be approximately $75 million in 2011, implement its stock repurchase program (discussed below) and to pay dividends at the current rate. Included in the estimated capital expenditures for 2011 is $22 million for the Companys global information systems upgrade project and the initial costs for construction of a West Coast manufacturing and distribution facility in Victorville, California. Specifically, the Company will be relocating its cat litter manufacturing operations and a distribution center from its Green River, Wyoming facility. The new site also will include a liquid laundry production line. The Company expects to invest approximately $35 million in capital expenditures and incur approximately $7 million in transition expenses in connection with the opening of the
26
Victorville site and costs associated with anticipated changes at the Green River facility. Capital expenditures related to the new project in 2011 are expected to be $11 million. The transition expenses include anticipated severance costs, accelerated depreciation of equipment at the Companys Green River facility and one-time project expenses.
On August 3, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of the Companys common stock. Any purchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to market conditions, corporate and legal requirements and other factors. There is no expiration date on the stock repurchase authorization, and the Company is not obligated to acquire any specific number of shares. The Company did not make any repurchases under the Board of Directors authorization during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. It is expecting to repurchase approximately $80 million before December 31, 2011.
As a result of its 2010 refinancing activities, the Company does not have any mandatory debt repayments in 2011. In addition to the anticipated expenditures described above, available cash resources may be used for acquisitions that would complement the Companys existing product lines or geographic markets.
Net Debt
The Company had outstanding total debt of $253.6 million and cash of $275.0 million at September 30, 2011. Total cash exceeded debt by $21.4 million at September 30, 2011. This compares to total debt of $339.7 million and cash of $189.2 million, resulting in net debt of $150.5 million at December 31, 2010.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities The Companys net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2011 was $319.2 million, a $30.5 million increase over the same period in 2010. The comparatively greater increase was primarily due to higher net income, higher deferred income tax liabilities reflecting a change in the tax law regarding the immediate deductibility of capital expenditures placed in service in 2011, and a smaller increase in working capital (exclusive of cash), mainly due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the components of working capital that significantly affected operating cash flow are as follows:
Accounts receivable increased $29.0 million due to the timing of increased net sales.
Inventories increased $29.3 million primarily due to increases in raw material costs and build-up of inventories in anticipation of higher sales.
Accounts payable and other accrued expenses increased $20.6 million due to the timing of payments and higher marketing accruals.
Income taxes payable increased $20.9 million due to the timing of payments.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities during the first nine months of 2011 was $104.9 million, reflecting the $64.8 million cash consideration for the BATISTE Acquisition and $40.8 million of property, plant and equipment expenditures, partially offset by $1.5 million in payments received on outstanding notes receivable.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities during the first nine months of 2011 was $129.1 million, principally reflecting net repayment of the outstanding $90.0 million in borrowings under the Companys accounts receivable securitization facility partially offset by international borrowings of $3.9 million. Other net cash used in
27
financing activities included $73.1 million to pay cash dividends partly offset by proceeds of and tax benefits from stock option exercises, aggregating $30.9 million.
Certain Financial Covenants
Consolidated EBITDA (referred to below as Adjusted EBITDA) is a component of the financial covenants contained in, and is defined in, the Companys revolving credit facility (Credit Agreement). Financial covenants include a leverage ratio (total debt to Adjusted EBITDA) and an interest coverage ratio (Adjusted EBITDA to total interest expense), which if not met, could result in an event of default and trigger the early termination of the Credit Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, which is determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Companys leverage ratio for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 was 0.5, which is below the maximum of 3.25 permitted under the Credit Agreement, and the interest coverage ratio for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 was 31.0, which is above the minimum of 3.00 permitted under the Credit Agreement.
New Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted by the Company which are expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Accounting pronouncements that became effective during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 did not require the Company to include additional financial statement disclosures and had no impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market risk
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has significantly reduced its interest rate risk as a result of its refinancing activities in 2010. The Company had outstanding total debt at September 30, 2011 of $253.6 million, of which $249.7 million carries a fixed rate of interest at 3.35% and $3.9 million of short-term debt has variable interest rates. Should the Company need to use its revolving credit facility, it would consider entering into hedge agreements to mitigate the interest rate risk if conditions warrant.
Diesel Fuel Hedge
The Company uses independent freight carriers to deliver its products. These carriers charge the Company a basic rate per mile that is subject to a mileage surcharge for diesel fuel price increases. During 2011, the Company entered into hedge agreements with financial counterparties. Under the hedge agreements, the Company agreed to pay a fixed price per gallon of diesel fuel determined at the time the agreements were executed and to receive a floating rate payment reflecting the variable common carriers mileage surcharge. The agreements cover approximately 48% of the Companys diesel fuel requirements for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 25% of the Companys total 2012 diesel fuel requirements. The Company uses the hedge agreements to mitigate the volatility of diesel fuel prices and related fuel surcharges, and not to speculate in the future price of diesel fuel. These agreements qualify for hedge accounting. Therefore, changes in the fair value of diesel fuel hedge agreements are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income on the balance sheet.
Foreign Currency
The Company is subject to exposure from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily U.S. Dollar/Euro, U.S. Dollar/British Pound, U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar, U.S. Dollar/Mexican Peso, U.S. Dollar/Australian Dollar, U.S. Dollar/Brazilian Real and U.S. Dollar/Chinese Yuan.
The Company, from time to time, enters into forward exchange contracts to reduce the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations related to anticipated but not yet committed transactions denominated in the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, Brazilian Real, British pound and Euro. The Company enters into these contracts to reduce the risk that, due to changes in
28
currency exchange rates, it would be adversely affected by net cash outflows. The face value of unexpired contracts as of September 30, 2011 totaled U.S. $34.9 million. Approximately U.S. $33.4 million of these contracts were designated as hedges and qualified for hedge accounting and as a result, changes in fair values from these contracts were recorded in Other Comprehensive Income during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Equity Derivatives
The Company has entered into equity derivative contracts covering its own stock in order to minimize its liability, resulting from changes in quoted fair values of Company stock, to participants under its Executive Deferred Compensation Plan who have investments under that plan in a notional Company stock fund. Since the equity derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting, the Company is required to mark the agreements to market throughout the life of the agreements and record changes in fair value in the consolidated statement of income.
See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information regarding the reported changes in fair values of the Companys diesel fuel, foreign currency and equity derivative instruments.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) at the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act are (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding the disclosure.
b) Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Companys most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
