NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2011

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Consolidation

Watsco, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Watsco,” which may be referred to as we, us or our) was incorporated in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry. The accompanying Watsco March 31, 2011 interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements herein. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements contained in this report include the accounts of Watsco and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and include the accounts of a joint venture in which Watsco maintains a 60% controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns during the summer and winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the markets is fairly consistent during the year, except for dependence on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Significant estimates include valuation reserves for accounts receivable, inventory and income taxes, reserves related to self-insurance programs and valuation of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. While we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from such estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that amended the criteria for allocating a contract’s consideration to individual services or products in multiple deliverable arrangements. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement Disclosures

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the FASB that required new disclosures about significant transfers between Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements, including the reason for such transfers, and also required information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Table of Contents

Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the FASB that required new disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and their allowance for credit losses. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements because we do not have any financing receivables.

Goodwill Impairment Testing

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of the FASB requiring that Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test be performed in circumstances where a reporting unit has a zero or negative carrying amount for which qualitative factors exist that indicate that goodwill may be impaired. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the EITF requiring pro forma financial information for business combinations to be presented as if the business combination occurred at the beginning of the prior annual reporting period when calculating both the current reporting period and the prior reporting period. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

 

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Shares of our non-vested (restricted) stock are considered participating securities because these awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividends irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share for our Common and Class B common stock is computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common and Class B common stock outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to Common stock, Class B common stock and participating securities based on the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share for our Common stock assumes the conversion of all of our Class B common stock into Common stock as of the beginning of the fiscal year and adjusts for the dilutive effects of outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, our outstanding Class B common stock was convertible into 2,858,442 and 2,867,044 shares of our Common stock, respectively.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for our Common and Class B common stock:

 

Quarters Ended March 31,

   2011      2010  

Basic Earnings per Share:

     

Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. shareholders

   $ 7,500       $ 3,833   

Less: distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested (restricted) common stock

   $ 6,348       $ 2,893   
                 

Diluted Earnings per Share:

     

Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. shareholders

   $ 7,500       $ 3,833   

Less: distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested (restricted) common stock

     1,152         940   
                 

Earnings allocated to Watsco, Inc. shareholders

   $ 6,348       $ 2,893

Table of Contents

The diluted earnings per share calculation assumes the conversion of all of our Class B common stock into Common stock as of the beginning of the period; therefore, no allocation of earnings to Class B common stock is required.

 

Quarters Ended March 31,

   2011      2010  

Weighted-average Common and Class B common shares outstanding for basic earnings per share

     30,601,573         30,228,384   

Effect of dilutive stock options

     92,779         138,003   
                 

Weighted-average Common and Class B common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share

     30,694,352         30,366,387   
                 

Diluted earnings per share excluded 7,628 and 121,122 shares for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to stock options with an exercise price per share greater than the average market value, resulting in an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share.

 

3. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT

Periodically, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk from changing interest rates under our revolving credit agreements. Under the terms of the swap agreements, we agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to the notional principal amount. Any differences paid or received on our interest rate swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense over the life of each swap, thereby adjusting the effective interest rate on the underlying obligation. Financial instruments are not held or issued for trading purposes. In order to obtain hedge accounting treatment, any derivatives used for hedging purposes must be designated as, and effective as, a hedge of an identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Changes in the fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract. Accordingly, we record all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at their respective fair values. We record the change in the fair value of a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge in other comprehensive income to the extent the derivative is effective, and recognize the change in the statement of income when the hedged item affects earnings. Our interest rate hedge is designated as a cash flow hedge.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had one interest rate swap agreement in effect with a notional value of $10,000, maturing in October 2011. The swap agreement exchanges the variable rate of 30-day LIBOR to a fixed interest rate of 5.07%. For the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the hedging relationship was determined to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows.

The negative fair value of the derivative financial instrument was $284 and $399 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and is included, net of accrued interest, in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements.” At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $167, net of deferred tax benefits of $102 and $238, net of deferred tax benefits of $146, respectively, was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“OCL”) associated with the cash flow hedge.

The net change in OCL for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, reflected the reclassification of $74, net of income tax benefit of $46 and $75, net of income tax benefit of $46, respectively, of unrealized losses from accumulated OCL to current period earnings (recorded in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income). The net unrealized loss recorded in accumulated OCL will be reclassified to earnings on a monthly basis as interest payments occur. We estimate that approximately $300 in unrealized losses on the derivative instrument accumulated in OCL are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next seven months using a current 30-day LIBOR-based average receive rate (0.29% at March 31, 2011). See Note 5, “Comprehensive Income.”

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We carry various assets and liabilities at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount 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. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value measurements are classified based on the following fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1   Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2   Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-driven valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3   Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the levels of inputs used to measure fair value:

   $ 399         —         $ 399         —     

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used for these assets and liabilities, as well as the level of input used to measure fair value:

Available-for-sale securities – the investments are exchange-traded equity securities. Fair values for these investments are based on quoted prices in active markets and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative financial instrument – the derivative is a pay-variable, receive fixed interest rate swap based on 30-day LIBOR. Fair value is based on model-derived valuations using the respective LIBOR rate, which is observed at quoted intervals for the full term of the swap and incorporates adjustments to appropriately reflect our nonperformance risk and the counterparty’s nonperformance risk. Therefore, the derivative is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 3, “Derivative Financial Instrument.”

Common Stock Dividends

Cash dividends of $0.52 and $0.48 per share of Common and Class B common stock were paid during the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. On April 1, 2011, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.57 per share of Common and Class B common stock that was paid on April 29, 2011 to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2011.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation, Claims and Assessments

We are involved in litigation incidental to the operation of our business. We vigorously defend all matters in which we or our subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintain significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect us. Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage or the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, based on the current information available, we do not believe the ultimate liability associated with any known claims or litigation in which we or our subsidiaries are involved will materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Self-Insurance

Self-insurance reserves are maintained relative to company-wide casualty insurance and health benefit programs. The level of exposure from catastrophic events is limited by the purchase of stop-loss and aggregate liability reinsurance coverage. When estimating the self-insurance liabilities and related reserves, management considers a number of factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and valuations provided by independent third-party actuaries. Management reviews its assumptions with its independent third-party actuaries to evaluate whether the self-insurance reserves are adequate. If actual claims or adverse development of loss reserves occur and exceed these estimates, additional reserves may be required. The estimation process contains uncertainty since management must use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that will be incurred to settle reported claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. Reserves in the amounts of $6,194 and $7,295 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, were established related to such insurance programs and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 41% and 54% of all purchases made during the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately $92,000 and $93,000, respectively, was payable to Carrier and its affiliates, net of receivables. Carrier Enterprise also sells HVAC products to Carrier and its affiliates. Revenues in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 include $4,104 and $3,399, respectively, of sales to Carrier and its affiliates. We believe these transactions are conducted at arm’s-length in the ordinary course of business.

Carrier Enterprise had entered into Transactional Services Agreements (“TSAs”) with Carrier to have certain business processes performed on its behalf, including processes involving the use of business software applications and information technologies. The services provided pursuant to the TSAs expired on various dates throughout 2010. The fees related to the TSAs were $1,339, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated unaudited statement of income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

 

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 29, 2011, we completed the formation of a second joint venture with Carrier to distribute Carrier, Bryant and Payne branded residential, light-commercial and applied-commercial HVAC products and related parts and supplies in the northeast United States. Carrier’s company-operated northeast distribution network had revenues of approximately $210,000 for 2010. The newly formed joint venture, Carrier Enterprise Northeast, LLC (“Carrier Enterprise Northeast”), operates 42 locations in 9 states. In the formation of the joint venture, Carrier contributed 28 of their company-operated northeastern locations and we contributed 14 of our northeastern locations. We purchased a 60% controlling interest in the joint venture for cash consideration of $35,700 and the contribution of our 14 northeastern locations for consideration of $36,000. The final purchase price is subject to working capital adjustments pursuant to the Purchase and Contribution Agreement dated March 18, 2011.

Table of Contents

The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, reference should be made to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Company Overview

Watsco, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Watsco,” or we, us or our) was incorporated in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry. At March 31, 2011, we operated from 502 locations in 36 states and Puerto Rico with additional market coverage on an export basis to parts of Latin America and the Caribbean.

Revenues primarily consist of sales of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of selling expenses, the largest components of which are salaries, commissions and marketing expenses that are variable and correlate to changes in sales. Other significant selling, general and administrative expenses relate to the operation of warehouse facilities, including a fleet of trucks and forklifts and facility rent, which are payable mostly under non-cancelable operating leases.

Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns during summer and winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment usually highest in the fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the markets is fairly consistent during the year, except for dependence on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. At least quarterly, management reevaluates its judgments and estimates, which are based on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Our critical accounting policies are included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on March 1, 2011. We believe that there have been no significant changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following narratives include the results of operations for businesses acquired during 2010. The results of operations for these acquisitions have been included in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income beginning on their respective dates of acquisition. There were no businesses acquired during the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

In the following narratives, computations and disclosure information referring to “same-store basis” exclude the effects of locations acquired or locations opened or closed during the immediately preceding 12 months unless they are within close geographical proximity to existing locations. At March 31, 2011, 20 locations were excluded from “same-store basis” information. The table below summarizes the changes in our locations for the 12 months ended March 31, 2011:

Revenues

Revenues for the first quarter of 2011 increased $24.6 million, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2010, including a $3.5 million contribution from locations acquired and opened during the immediately preceding 12 months, offset by $3.9 million from closed locations. On a same-store basis, revenues increased $25.0 million, or 5%, as compared to the same period in 2010. Revenues reflect a 3% increase in sales of HVAC equipment, a 4% increase in sales of other HVAC products and a 20% increase in sales of refrigeration products. Sales of HVAC equipment benefited from an improved sales mix of higher-efficiency air conditioning and heating systems, which sell at higher unit prices.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased $12.4 million, or 10%, compared to the same period in 2010, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Gross profit margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 improved 120 basis-points to 25.3% versus 24.1% for the same period in 2010. The improvement in gross profit margin was primarily due to increased selling prices and improved discounts and rebates from vendors, reflecting increased purchasing activity for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased $4.5 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 decreased to 22.1% versus 22.3% for the same period in 2010. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to leveraging of fixed operating costs as compared to 2010 and a decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts, partially offset by increases in selling expenses related to our increased revenues.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 decreased $0.1 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2010, primarily as a result of a decrease in average outstanding borrowings.

Income Taxes

Income taxes of $4.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 consist of the income taxes attributable to our wholly-owned operations and 60% of income taxes attributable to Carrier Enterprise, LLC (“Carrier Enterprise”), which is taxed as a partnership for income tax purposes. The effective income tax rate attributable to us was 38.0% for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.

Net income attributable to Watsco for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased $3.7 million, or 96%, compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues, expanded profit margins and lower levels of selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to execute our business strategy and fund operating and investing activities, taking into consideration the seasonal demand of HVAC/R products, which peaks in the months of May through August. Significant factors that could affect our liquidity include the following:

 

   

cash flows generated from operating activities;

 

   

the adequacy of available bank lines of credit;

 

   

the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms;

 

   

acquisitions;

 

   

dividend payments;

 

   

capital expenditures; and

 

   

the timing and extent of common stock repurchases.

We rely on cash flows from operations and our lines of credit to fund seasonal working capital needs, financial commitments and short-term liquidity needs, including funds necessary for business acquisitions. We believe that, at present, cash flows from operations combined with those available under our lines of credit are sufficient to satisfy our current liquidity needs, including our anticipated dividend payments and capital expenditures. Any future disruption in the capital and credit markets, such as those experienced in 2008, could adversely affect our ability to draw on our lines of credit. Our access to funds under the lines of credit is dependent on the ability of the banks to meet their funding commitments. Disruptions in capital and credit markets also may affect the determination of interest rates for borrowers, particularly rates based on LIBOR, as are our lines of credit. Any future disruptions in these markets and their effect on interest rates could result in increased borrowing costs under our lines of credit.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

 

     2011     2010     Change  

Cash flows used in operating activities

   $ (44.9   $ (5.8   $ (39.1

   $ (1.6   $ 0.3      $ (1.9

Cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities

   $ (44.4   $ 21.5      $ (65.9

Operating Activities

The increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily due to our seasonal buildup of inventory in preparation for the spring and summer selling seasons partially offset by the timing of payments for accrued expenses and higher net income in 2011.

Table of Contents

Investing Activities

The increase in net cash used in investing activities is due to lower proceeds from the sale of property and equipment in 2011.

Financing Activities

The increase in net cash used in financing activities is primarily attributable to a $32.0 million return of capital to the noncontrolling interest, an increase in distributions to the noncontrolling interest and lower net borrowings under our revolving credit agreements in 2011.

In March 2011, Carrier Enterprise returned an $80.0 million capital contribution made in 2009 to Watsco and Carrier using cash on hand. Our share of the return of capital totaled $48.0 million and Carrier’s share totaled $32.0 million. Cash distributions attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Carrier Enterprise include $9.7 million that was payable at December 31, 2010. This payment was made in January 2011.

Working capital decreased to $553.5 million at March 31, 2011 from $572.0 million at December 31, 2010 reflecting higher levels of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Revolving Credit Agreements

We maintain a bank-syndicated, unsecured revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $300.0 million. Borrowings are used to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends, stock repurchases and issuances of letters of credit. The credit facility matures in August 2012. At both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $10.0 million was outstanding under this revolving credit agreement.

The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including financial covenants with respect to consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios and limits capital expenditures, dividends and share repurchases in addition to other restrictions. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants and financial ratios at March 31, 2011.

Carrier Enterprise maintains a separate secured revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $75.0 million. Borrowings under the credit facility are used by Carrier Enterprise for general corporate purposes, including working capital and permitted acquisitions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all tangible and intangible assets of Carrier Enterprise. The credit facility matures in July 2012. At March 31, 2011, $14.1 million was outstanding under this credit facility. No borrowings were outstanding under this credit facility at December 31, 2010.

The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and representations and warranties, including compliance with a monthly borrowing base certificate with advance rates on accounts receivable and inventory, two financial covenants with respect to Carrier Enterprise’s leverage and interest coverage ratios and limits the level of capital expenditures and cash distributions in addition to other restrictions. We believe Carrier Enterprise was in compliance with all covenants and financial ratios at March 31, 2011.

Company Share Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase, at management’s discretion, of 7.5 million shares of common stock in the open market or via private transactions. Shares repurchased under the program are accounted for using the cost method and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity. In aggregate, 6.4 million shares of Common and Class B common stock have been repurchased at a cost of $114.4 million since the inception of the program. The remaining 1.1 million shares authorized for repurchase are subject to certain restrictions included in our revolving credit agreements.

Common Stock Dividends

Cash dividends of $0.52 per share and $0.48 per share of Common and Class B common stock were paid during the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In April 2011, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.57 per share of Common and Class B common stock that was paid on April 29, 2011 to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2011. Future dividends and/or dividend rate increases will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon such factors as profitability, financial condition, cash requirements, restrictions under our revolving credit agreements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

Capital Resources

We believe we have adequate availability of capital from operations and our current credit facilities to fund working capital requirements and support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies. As of March 31, 2011, we had $35.5 million of cash and cash equivalents available on hand and additional borrowing capacity (subject to certain restrictions) under our revolving credit agreements to fund present operations and anticipated growth, including expansion in our current and targeted market areas. Potential acquisitions and/or joint ventures are continually evaluated and discussions are conducted with a number of acquisition candidates. Should suitable acquisition opportunities or working capital needs arise that would require additional financing, we believe our financial position and earnings history provide a sufficient base for obtaining additional financing resources at competitive rates and terms or gives us the ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity securities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”)) that are, among other things, designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Senior Vice President (“SVP”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO, SVP and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on that evaluation, our CEO, SVP and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level, at and as of such date.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We are continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations and of our internal controls. This results in refinements to processes throughout the Company. However, there have been no changes in internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in litigation incidental to the operation of our business. We vigorously defend all matters in which we or our subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintain significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect us. Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage or the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, based on the current information available, we do not believe the ultimate liability associated with any known claims or litigation will have a material impact to our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Information about risk factors for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 does not differ materially from that set forth in Part I, Item 1A, of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On March 11, 2011, we issued 27,240 shares of our Common stock to our Profit Sharing Retirement Plan & Trusts (the “Plans”) representing the employer match under the Plans for the plan year ended December 31, 2010, without

registration. This issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 3(a)(2) thereof. The Plans are profit sharing retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The assets of the Plans are held in a single trust fund for the benefit of our employees, and no Plan holds assets for the benefit of the employees of any other employer. All of the contributions to the Plans from our employees have been invested in assets other than our Common stock. We have contributed all of the Common stock held by the Plans as a discretionary matching contribution, which, at the time of contribution, was lower in value than the employee contributions that the contribution matched.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee entered into an Employment Agreement effective as of January 31, 1996 (the “Employment Agreement”) pursuant to which the Employee renders certain services to the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors amended the Employment Agreement effective as of January 1, 2001, January 1, 2002, January 1, 2003, January 1, 2004, January 1, 2005, January 1, 2006, January 1, 2007, January 1, 2008, December 10, 2008, January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2010; and

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has set the targets for the performance based compensation payable by the Company to the Employee for the year 2011; and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee now desire to amend the Employment Agreement and Exhibit A-1 to the Employment Agreement to specify the performance based compensation amount payable by the Company to the Employee for the calendar year 2011.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth in this Twelfth Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties to this Twelfth Amendment agree as follows:

1. All capitalized terms in this Twelfth Amendment shall have the same meaning as in the Employment Agreement, unless otherwise specified.

EXHIBIT A-1

2011 Performance Goals and Performance Based Compensation

 

I.       Formula

A.     Earnings Per Share    Performance
Based
Compensation Amount

For each $0.01 increase

   $65,250

 

B.     Increase in Common Stock Price

  

(i) If the closing price of a share of Common Stock on 12/31/11 does not exceed $63.08

   $0

(ii) If the closing price of a share of Common Stock on 12/31/11 exceeds $63.08 but does not equal or exceed $73.00, for each $0.01 increase in per share price of a share of Common Stock above $63.08

   $1,200

(iii) If the closing price of a share of Common Stock on 12/31/11 equals or exceeds $73.00, for each $0.01 increase in per share price of a share of Common Stock above $63.08

   $1,800

 

II.     Method of Payment

The Performance Based Compensation determined for 2011 under the formula in Section I (the “Performance Based Compensation Amount”) shall be paid in the form of the Company’s grant of a number of shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”) equal to the amount determined by dividing (x) two times the Performance Based Compensation Amount by (y) the closing price for the Class B Common Stock of the Company on the NYSE Amex Exchange as of the close of trading on December 31, 2011. The value of any fractional shares shall be paid in cash. The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, exercise negative discretion to reduce the Performance Based Compensation Amount by any amount and instead pay the amount by which the Performance Based Compensation Amount has been reduced in cash on a 1 for 1 basis, rather than converting that amount into Shares on a 2 for 1 basis as described above. The restrictions on the Shares shall lapse on the first to occur of (i) October 15, 2022 (ii) termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company by reason of Executive’s disability or death, (iii) the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company for Good Reason; (iv) the Company’s termination of Executive’s employment without Cause, or (v) the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company (“Good Reason”, “Cause”, and “Change in Control” to be defined in a manner consistent with the most recent grant of Restricted Stock by the Company to the Executive).

 

III.    2001 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan

The performance based award and method of payment specified above (the “Award”) were made by the Compensation Committee in accordance with Section 8 of the Company’s 2001 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) and are subject to the limitations contained in Section 5 of the Incentive Plan. The Award is intended to qualify as “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
