NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. General Information
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but also does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. However, in the opinion of Briggs & Stratton Corporation (the Company), adequate disclosures have been presented to prevent the information from being misleading, and all adjustments necessary to present fair statements of the results of operations and financial position have been included. All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in these consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto which were included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-02 "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," which permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired before performing quantitative impairment testing. The amendments do not change the measurement of impairment losses. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. Management does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

3. Acquisitions

On December 7, 2012, Briggs & Stratton Representação de Motores e Produtos de Força do Brasil Ltda., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the common stock of Campahnia Caetano Branco (“Branco”) of Sao Jose dos Pinhais, Brazil for a total cash consideration of $57.8 million net of cash acquired, subject to post-closing adjustments. Branco is a leading brand in the Brazilian light power equipment market with a broad range of outdoor power equipment used primarily in light commercial applications. Its products, including generators, water pumps, and light construction equipment, are sold through its independent network of over 1,200 dealers throughout Brazil. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation based on initial estimates of fair value. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $13.5 million of goodwill, of which $4.1 million and $9.4 million were allocated to the Engines segment and Products segment, respectively, and $24.0 million of intangible assets, including $14.6 million of customer relationships and $9.4 million of tradenames.

The results of operations of Branco have been included in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations since the date of acquisition. Pro forma financial information and allocation of the purchase price are not presented as the effects of the acquisition are not material to the Company's results of operations or financial position.

4. Assets Held for Sale
 
At December 30, 2012 and at July 1, 2012, the Company had $5.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively, included in Assets Held for Sale in its Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. As of December 30, 2012, Assets Held for Sale consisted of certain assets related to the Ostrava, Czech Republic production facility. As of July 1, 2012, Assets Held for Sale consisted of certain assets related to the Ostrava and Jefferson, WI production facilities. Prior to the closure, the Ostrava facility manufactured small engines. The Company recorded sales of these engines within its Engines Segment. Prior to the closure of the Jefferson facility, portable generator and pressure washer products were manufactured, marketed and sold by the Company within its Products Segment. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company completed the sale of its dormant manufacturing facility in Jefferson, Wisconsin and a land parcel adjacent to its Ostrava, Czech Republic plant.

5. Restructuring Actions
    
In January 2012, the Company announced plans to reduce manufacturing capacity through closure of its Newbern, Tennessee and Ostrava, Czech Republic plants, as well as the reconfiguration of its plant in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. During fiscal 2012, the Company ceased manufacturing operations at its Newbern, Tennessee and Ostrava, Czech Republic plants, and carried out reconfiguration of the Poplar Bluff, Missouri plant.

In April 2012, the Company announced plans to further reduce manufacturing costs through consolidation of its Auburn, Alabama manufacturing facility as well as the reduction of approximately 10% of the Company's salaried headcount. In fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013, the Company implemented salaried headcount reductions. Additionally, the Company announced that it will no longer pursue placement of lawn and garden products at national mass retailers beginning in fiscal 2013. The Engines Segment will continue to support lawn and garden equipment OEMs who provide lawn and garden equipment to these retailers. The Products Segment will continue to focus on innovative, higher margin products that are sold through our network of Simplicity, Snapper and Ferris dealers and regional retailers. The Company will also continue to sell pressure washers and portable and standby generators through the U.S. mass retail channel.

In October 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an amendment to the Company's defined benefit retirement plans for U.S., non-bargaining employees. The amendment freezes accruals for all non-bargaining employees effective January 1, 2014. The Company recorded a pre-tax curtailment charge of $1.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 related to the defined benefit plan change.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company completed the sale of its dormant manufacturing facility in Jefferson, Wisconsin and a land parcel adjacent to its Ostrava, Czech Republic plant.

The closing of the Company's facility in Newbern, Tennessee affected approximately 240 regular employees and 450 temporary employees. Additionally, the closing of the Ostrava, Czech Republic facility affected approximately 77 regular employees. There were no significant employment changes at the Poplar Bluff, Missouri facility as a result of the idling of certain assets. Approximately 250 regular employees are expected to be affected by the Auburn, Alabama facility consolidation. The 10% reduction of the Company's salaried workforce affected approximately 236 employees globally.

The Company reports restructuring charges associated with manufacturing and related initiatives as costs of goods sold within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. Restructuring charges reflected as costs of goods sold include, but are not limited to, termination and related costs associated with manufacturing employees, asset impairments and accelerated depreciation relating to manufacturing initiatives, and other costs directly related to the restructuring initiatives implemented. The Company reports all other non-manufacturing related restructuring charges as engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. The Company recorded pre-tax charges of $6.6 million ($4.3 million after tax or $0.09 per diluted share) and $11.8 million ($7.6 million after tax or $0.16 per diluted share) during the three and six months ended December 30, 2012, respectively, related to the restructuring actions. The Engines Segment recorded $4.3 million and $5.4 million of pre-tax restructuring charges during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013, respectively. The Products Segment recorded $2.4 million and $6.4 million of pre-tax restructuring charges during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013, respectively.

6. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
    
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share using the two-class method, an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings (loss) per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s unvested grants of restricted stock and deferred stock awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends (whether paid or unpaid), which are required to be treated as participating securities and included in the computation of basic earnings (loss) per share.

The dilutive effect of the potential exercise of outstanding stock-based awards to acquire common shares is calculated using the treasury stock method. As a result of the Company incurring a loss from continuing operations for the three months ended December 30, 2012 and the six months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, potential incremental common shares of 1,219,0001,150,000, and 887,000, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for each period because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, the following options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares:

On August 10, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized up to $50 million in funds for use in a common share repurchase program with an expiration of June 30, 2013. On August 8, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized up to an additional $50 million in funds associated with the common share repurchase program and an extension of the expiration date to June 30, 2014. The common share repurchase program authorizes the purchase of shares of the Company's common stock on the open market or in private transactions from time to time, depending on market conditions and certain governing loan covenants. During the six months ended December 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 1,053,125 shares on the open market at an average price of $18.26 per share as compared to 801,843 shares purchased on the open market at an average price of $14.20 per share during the six months ended January 1, 2012.

In October 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an amendment to the Company's defined benefit retirement plans for U.S., non-bargaining employees. The amendment freezes accruals for all non-bargaining employees effective January 1, 2014. The Company recorded a pre-tax curtailment charge of $1.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 related to the defined benefit plan change.

The Company expects to make benefit payments of approximately $2.3 million attributable to its non-qualified pension plans during fiscal 2013. During the first six months of fiscal 2013, the Company made payments of approximately $1.4 million for its non-qualified pension plans. The Company anticipates making benefit payments of approximately $19.8 million for its other postretirement benefit plans during fiscal 2013. During the first six months of fiscal 2013, the Company made payments of $10.3 million for its other postretirement benefit plans.
 
On July 6, 2012, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21 Act) was signed into law. The MAP-21 Act included certain pension-related provisions which included changes to the methodology used to determine discount rates for ERISA funding purposes for qualified defined benefit pension plans. Based on historical interest rates, the MAP-21 Act allows plan sponsors to utilize a higher discount rate to value pension liabilities, which results in lower required pension plan contributions under ERISA. Subsequent to filing the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012, the Company learned of the final interest rates published by the Internal Revenue Service used to calculate minimum pension contributions under the MAP-21 Act. Based upon the current regulations and actuarial studies, the Company estimates that it will make required minimum contributions to the qualified pension plan of approximately $30.0 million during fiscal 2013. During the first six months of fiscal 2013, the Company made cash contributions of $16.2 million to the qualified pension plan. The Company may be required to make further contributions in future years depending upon the actual return on plan assets and the funded status of the plan in future periods.

9. Stock Incentives
 
Stock based compensation expense is calculated by estimating the fair value of incentive stock awards granted and amortizing the estimated value over the awards' vesting period. Stock based compensation expense was $1.4 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended December 30, 2012, respectively. For the three and six months ended January 1, 2012, stock based compensation expense was $1.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

10. Derivative Instruments & Hedging Activities

The Company enters into derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage certain interest rate, foreign currency and commodity exposures. Company policy allows derivatives to be used only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does not enter into hedges for trading purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits.

Table of Contents

BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company formally designates the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure and documents both the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge. The Company formally assesses, both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in the forecasted cash flows of the related underlying exposure. Because of the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the forecasted cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Derivative financial instruments are recorded on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. The effective portion of gains or losses on the derivative designated as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (AOCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
    
The Company enters into interest rate swaps to manage a portion of its interest rate risk from financing certain dealer and distributor inventories through a third party financing source. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and are used to effectively fix the interest payments to a third party financing source, exclusive of lender spreads, ranging from 1.36% to 1.60% for a notional principal amount of $85 million through July 2017.

The Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the risk from forecasted third party and intercompany sales or payments denominated in foreign currencies. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollars or Canadian Dollars. These contracts generally do not have a maturity of more than twenty-four months.
    
The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. The Company hedges a portion of its exposure to the variability of cash flows associated with commodities used in the manufacturing process by entering into forward purchase contracts or commodity swaps. Derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges are used by the Company to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of natural gas and aluminum. These contracts generally do not have a maturity of more than twenty-four months.
    
The Company has considered the counterparty credit risk related to all its interest rate, foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts and deems any risk of counterparty default to be minimal.
    
The notional amount of derivative contracts outstanding at the end of the period is indicative of the level of the Company’s derivative activity during the period. As of December 30, 2012 and July 1, 2012, the Company had the following outstanding derivative contracts (in thousands):

11. Fair Value Measurements

The following guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

The fair value for Level 2 measurements are based upon the respective quoted market prices for comparable instruments in active markets, which include current market pricing for forward purchases of commodities, foreign currency forwards, and current interest rates.

The estimated fair value of the Company's Senior Notes at December 30, 2012 and July 1, 2012 was $258.0 million and $241.0 million, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $225.0 million on each date. The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and is, therefore, classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The carrying value of the Revolver and Short-Term Debt approximates the fair value since the underlying rate of interest is variable based upon LIBOR rates.  

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair values at December 30, 2012 and July 1, 2012 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
12. Warranty

The Company recognizes the cost associated with its standard warranty on Engines and Products at the time of sale. The amount recognized is based on historical failure rates and current claim cost experience. The following is a reconciliation of the changes in accrued warranty costs for the reporting period (in thousands):

13. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013 were 156.5% and 27.8%, respectively, compared to 195.6% and 63.9% in same respective periods of fiscal 2012. The second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013 include a tax expense of $1.0 million primarily driven by non-deductible acquisition costs and un-benefitted losses for certain foreign subsidiaries. The second quarter of fiscal 2012 reflected a tax benefit of $5.5 million in spite of a loss before taxes of $2.8 million due to the settlement of U.S. audits and the expiration of a non-U.S. statute of limitation period in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

For the six months ended December 30, 2012, the Company's unrecognized tax benefits increased by $0.6 million, of which $0.1 million impacted the current effective tax rate.

Income tax returns are filed in the U.S., state, and foreign jurisdictions and related audits occur on a regular basis. In the U.S., the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations before fiscal 2009 and is currently under audit by U.S. federal for fiscal 2010 and 2011 in addition to various state jurisdictions. With respect to the Company's major foreign jurisdictions, it is no longer subject to tax examinations before fiscal 2002.
 
14. Commitments and Contingencies

Briggs & Stratton is subject to various unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of its business. These actions typically relate to product liability (including asbestos-related liability), patent and trademark matters, and disputes with customers, suppliers, distributors and dealers, competitors and employees.

On March 19, 2010, plaintiffs filed a complaint in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Canada (Robert Foster et al. v. Sears Canada, Inc. et al., Docket No. 766-2010) against the Company and other engine and lawnmower manufacturers alleging that the horsepower labels on the products they purchased were inaccurate and that the Company conspired with other engine and lawnmower manufacturers to conceal the true horsepower of these engines. On May 3, 2010, other plaintiffs filed a complaint in the Montreal Superior Court in Canada (Eric Liverman, et al. v. Deere & Company, et al., Docket No. 500-06-000507-109). Both Canadian complaints contain allegations and seek relief under Canadian law similar to the litigation filed in the U.S. regarding horsepower labeling which was settled and approved by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin on August 26, 2010. The Company is evaluating the Canadian complaints and has not yet filed an answer or other responsive pleading to either one.

On May 14, 2010, the Company notified retirees and certain retirement eligible employees of various changes to the Company-sponsored retiree medical plans. The purpose of the amendments was to better align the plans offered to both hourly and salaried retirees. On August 16, 2010, a putative class of retirees who retired prior to August 1, 2006 and the United Steel Workers filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (Merrill, Weber, Carpenter, et al; United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO/CLC v. Briggs & Stratton Corporation; Group Insurance Plan of Briggs & Stratton Corporation; and Does 1 through 20, Docket No. 10-C-0700), contesting the Company's right to make these changes. In addition to a request for class certification, the complaint seeks an injunction preventing the alleged unilateral termination or reduction in insurance coverage to the class of retirees, a permanent injunction preventing defendants from ever making changes to the retirees' insurance coverage, restitution with interest (if applicable) and attorneys' fees and costs. The Company moved to dismiss the complaint and believes the changes are within its rights. On April 21, 2011, the district court issued an order granting the Company's motion to dismiss the complaint. The plaintiffs filed a motion with the court to reconsider its order on May 17, 2011, and on August 24, 2011 the court granted the motion and vacated the dismissal of the case. The Company then filed a motion with the court to appeal its decision directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, but the court denied this motion on February 29, 2012. On October 9, 2012 the court granted the parties' unopposed motion for class certification. Discovery is underway in the case.

Although it is not reasonably possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss, the Company believes the unresolved legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

$
225,000

 
On December 15, 2010, the Company issued $225 million of 6.875% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") due December 15, 2020.  

On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into a $500 million multicurrency credit agreement (the “Revolver”), which replaced the Company's prior amended and restated multicurrency credit agreement. The Revolver has a term of five years and all outstanding borrowings on the Revolver are due and payable on October 13, 2016. The initial maximum availability under the revolving credit facility is $500 million. Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. The Company may from time to time increase the maximum availability under the revolving credit facility by up to $250 million if certain conditions are satisfied.

The Senior Notes and Revolver contain restrictive covenants. These covenants include restrictions on the Company’s ability to: pay dividends; repurchase shares; incur indebtedness; create liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; consolidate or merge with other entities; sell or lease all or substantially all of its assets; and dispose of assets or use proceeds from sales of its assets. The Revolver contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and impose a maximum average leverage ratio. As of December 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
   
17. Separate Financial Information of Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness

Under the terms of the Company’s Senior Notes and the Revolver (collectively, the “Domestic Indebtedness”), Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group, LLC, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, is the joint and several guarantor of the Domestic Indebtedness (the “Guarantor”). The guarantees are full and unconditional guarantees, except for certain customary limitations. Additionally, if at any time a domestic subsidiary of the Company constitutes a significant domestic subsidiary, then such domestic subsidiary will also become a guarantor of the Domestic Indebtedness. Currently, all of the Domestic Indebtedness is unsecured. If the Company were to fail to make a payment of interest or principal on its due date, the Guarantor is obligated to pay the outstanding Domestic Indebtedness. The Company had the following outstanding amounts related to the guaranteed debt (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the periods included in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements:
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were $439.1 million, a decrease of $8.9 million or 2.0% from the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Engines Segment fiscal 2013 second quarter net sales were $274.2 million, which was $11.9 million or 4.2% lower than the second quarter of fiscal 2012. This decrease in net sales was driven by reduced shipments of engines used on snow thrower equipment in the North American market and walk mowers in the Australian market. Sales were also impacted by an unfavorable mix of engines sold that reflected proportionately lower sales of large engines and reduced pricing as a result of lower year-over-year material costs.

Products Segment fiscal 2013 second quarter net sales were $197.5 million, a decrease of $17.9 million or 8.3% from the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to reduced sales of snow thrower equipment and related service parts due to the lack of meaningful snowfall in the U.S. and reduced sales of lawn and garden equipment as a result of unusually dry conditions in the North American and Australian markets. This decrease was partially offset by higher shipments of portable and standby generators due to Hurricane Sandy and slightly improved pricing on lawn and garden equipment sold in the North American market.
 
For the first six months of fiscal 2013, consolidated net sales were $748.1 million, a decrease of $97.2 million or 11.5% when compared to the same period a year ago.

Engines Segment net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $438.7 million, which was $50.8 million or 10.4% lower than the same period a year ago. This decrease in net sales was primarily driven by reduced shipments of engines used on snow thrower equipment in the North American market as well as lower sales to OEM customers in the Australian and Asian markets, an unfavorable mix of engines sold that reflected proportionately lower sales of large engines and unfavorable foreign exchange of $1.6 million.

Products Segment net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $370.8 million, a decrease of $79.9 million or 17.7% from the same period a year ago. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower sales volumes of snow equipment due to a lack of meaningful snowfall in the U.S and reduced sales of lawn and garden equipment resulting from prolonged drought conditions in North America and as a result of our decision to exit the sale of lawn and garden equipment through national mass retailers. This decrease was partially offset by improved pricing.

GROSS PROFIT PERCENTAGE

Included in consolidated gross profit were pre-tax charges of $3.2 million ($2.1 million after tax, or $0.04 per diluted share) and $8.3 million ($5.4 million after tax, or $0.11 per diluted share) during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013, respectively, related to previously announced restructuring actions to close the Ostrava, Czech Republic and Newbern, Tennesee manufacturing facilities and the Auburn, Alabama plant consolidation. The Engines Segment and Products Segment recorded $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of pre-tax restructuring charges within gross profit during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and $1.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively, for the first six months of fiscal 2013. There were no restructuring costs incurred in the second quarter or first six months of fiscal 2012.

Adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes this information is meaningful to investors as it isolates the impact that restructuring charges have on gross profit and facilitates comparisons between peer companies. While the Company believes that adjusted gross profit is useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our Generally Accepted Accounting Principles’ (“GAAP”) financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.

The consolidated gross profit percentage was 17.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, up from 16.5% in the same period last year.

The Engines Segment gross profit percentage was 20.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, higher than the 17.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Excluding restructuring charges of $0.8 million, adjusted Engines Segment gross profit percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was 20.8%, an increase of approximately 360 basis points compared to Engines Segment gross profit percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The adjusted gross profit percentage was favorably impacted by 4.2% due to lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by a planned price decrease. The lower manufacturing costs resulted from start-up costs incurred in fiscal 2012 associated with launching our phase III emissions compliant engines, lower material costs and $2.5 million of cost savings as a result of restructuring actions initiated in fiscal 2012.

The Products Segment gross profit percentage was 9.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, lower than 12.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Excluding restructuring charges of $2.4 million, adjusted gross profit percentage for the second quarter of 2013 was 10.6%, which was approximately 180 basis points lower compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The adjusted gross profit percentage decreased 4.0% due to unfavorable absorption

and reduced efficiencies associated with a 49% decrease in production. The McDonough, Georgia manufacturing facility was temporarily idled for four weeks in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 to reduce inventory levels in response to a decline in market demand for snow and lawn and garden products and to re-tool the plant for new products to be launched for the upcoming spring season. This decrease was partially offset by a benefit of 2.2% due to cost savings of $4.4 million as a result of restructuring actions. The benefit of implementing price increases on domestic lawn and garden equipment sales was offset by an unfavorable mix of products sold that reflected fewer sales of higher margin service parts as well as lower sales of lawn and garden products in Australia.

The consolidated gross profit percentage for the first six months of fiscal 2013 slightly decreased from 16.6% to 16.2% from the first six months of fiscal 2012.
    
The Engines Segment gross profit percentage was 18.5% for the first six months of fiscal 2013, higher than the 17.6% for the first six months in fiscal 2012. Excluding restructuring charges of $1.9 million, adjusted Engines Segment gross profit percentage for the first six months of 2013 was 18.9%, which was approximately 130 basis points higher compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012 due to lower manufacturing costs. The lower manufacturing costs improved gross margin by 1.1% due to $4.7 million of cost savings as a result of fiscal 2012 restructuring actions, 1.8% attributable to manufacturing cost improvements because of start-up costs incurred in fiscal 2012 associated with launching our phase III emissions compliant engines, partially offset by 1.6% due to the unfavorable absorption of fixed manufacturing costs as a result of a 6% reduction in engines built.

The Products Segment gross profit percentage was 10.0% for the first six months of fiscal 2013, lower from 12.1% for the first six months in fiscal 2012. Excluding restructuring charges of $6.4 million, adjusted gross profit percentage for the second quarter of 2013 was 11.8%, which was approximately 30 basis points lower compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012. The adjusted gross profit percentage benefited from cost savings of $8.4 million as a result of restructuring actions initiated in fiscal 2012 as well as increased pricing. Offsetting this was the unfavorable impact of reduced absorption and inefficiencies associated with a 43% decrease in production. As previously indicated, we reduced production volumes in the first six months of fiscal 2013 in order to manage inventory levels in response to a decline in near-term market demand.

ENGINEERING, SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses were $69.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, a decrease of $4.1 million or 5.6% from the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in the current year was primarily attributable to lower compensation costs of $3.0 million as a result of the previously announced global salaried employee reduction and reduced selling expenses, which was partially offset by $0.7 million of increased pension expense compared to the same period last year.

Engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses were $134.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013, a decrease of $6.1 million or 4.3% from the first six months of fiscal 2012. The decrease in the current year was primarily attributable to lower compensation costs of $6.0 million as a result of the previously announced global salaried employee reduction and reduced selling expenses, which was partially offset by $2.1 million of increased pension expense compared to the same period last year.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was lower compared to the prior year periods by $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013, respectively.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013 were 156.2% and 27.8%, respectively, compared to 195.6% and 63.9% in the same respective periods last year. The second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013 include a tax expense of $1.0 million primarily driven by non-deductible acquisition costs and un-benefitted losses for certain foreign subsidiaries. The second quarter of fiscal 2012 reflected a tax benefit of $5.5 million in spite of a loss before taxes of $2.8 million due to the settlement of U.S. audits and the expiration of a non-U.S. statute of limitation period in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS
    
In January 2012, the Company announced plans to reduce manufacturing capacity through closure of its Newbern, Tennessee and Ostrava, Czech Republic plants, as well as the reconfiguration of its plant in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. During fiscal 2012, the Company ceased manufacturing operations at its Newbern, Tennessee and Ostrava, Czech Republic plants, and carried out reconfiguration of the Poplar Bluff, Missouri plant.

In April 2012, the Company announced plans to further reduce manufacturing costs through consolidation of its Auburn, Alabama manufacturing facility as well as the reduction of approximately 10% of the Company's salaried headcount. In fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013, the Company implemented salaried headcount reductions. Additionally, the Company announced that it will no longer pursue placement of lawn and garden products at national mass retailers beginning in fiscal 2013. The Engines segment will continue to support lawn and garden equipment OEMs who provide lawn and garden equipment to these retailers. The Products segment will continue to focus on innovative, higher margin products that are sold through our network of Simplicity, Snapper and Ferris dealers and regional retailers. The Company will also continue to sell pressure washers and portable and standby generators through the U.S. mass retail channel.

In October 2012, the Company announced changes to its defined benefit pension plan that included freezing accruals for all non-bargaining employees effective January 1, 2014. This plan change resulted in the Company recognizing a pre-tax curtailment charge of $1.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

The Company's execution of its previously announced restructuring actions remains largely on schedule. The Company has made progress towards finalizing its exit from the Newbern, Tennessee and Ostrava, Czech Republic manufacturing facilities and the consolidation of its Auburn, Alabama plant. Given the incremental demand for engines and portable generators resulting from storms that occurred in the first six months of fiscal 2013, the Auburn plant consolidation will extend into fiscal 2014.

Pre-tax restructuring costs for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013 were $6.6 million ($4.3 million after tax or $0.09 per diluted share) and $11.8 million ($7.6 million after tax or $0.16 per diluted share), respectively, of which $3.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively, were included in gross profit as previously mentioned. There were no restructuring costs incurred in the second quarter or first six months of fiscal 2012.

The total estimated pre-tax expense related to restructuring actions in fiscal 2013 is expected to be $12 million to $22 million. In addition, the Company continues to anticipate pre-tax savings associated with restructuring actions of $30 million to $35 million in fiscal 2013 and $40 million to $45 million in fiscal 2014.

BRANCO ACQUISITION

The Company also announced on December 7, 2012, that it had completed the acquisition of Campahnia Caetano Branco (“Branco”) for total cash consideration of approximately $58 million net of cash acquired, subject to post-closing adjustments. Branco is a leading brand in the Brazilian light power equipment market with a broad range of outdoor power equipment used primarily in light commercial applications in Brazil. The acquisition is not anticipated to have a significant impact on sales or earnings in fiscal 2013.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
    
Cash flows used in operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $75.4 million compared to $165.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2012. The improvement in operating cash flows was primarily related to lower working capital needs in the most recent period associated with less of an increase of receivables and inventory compared to the same period last year, partially offset by contributions to the pension plan of $16.2 million in fiscal 2013.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $68.3 million and $22.3 million during the first six months of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. The $46.0 million increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily related to $57.8 million of cash payments made for the acquisition of Branco, partially offset by $3.0 million of lower additions to plant and equipment compared to the same period one year ago and $6.3 million of proceeds received on disposition of plant and equipment in fiscal 2013, primarily associated with the sale of the dormant manufacturing facility in Jefferson, Wisconsin and a land parcel adjacent to the Ostrava, Czech Republic plant.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $5.2 million during the first six months of fiscal 2013 as compared to $4.0 million of cash flows used during the first six months of fiscal 2012. The $9.2 million increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to $11.3 million of stock option exercise proceeds in fiscal 2013 and an increase of $3.9 million in net borrowings on the revolver compared to the same period a year ago, partially offset by $7.9 million of higher treasury stock purchases compared to the first six months of last year.

FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On December 15, 2010, the Company issued $225 million of 6.875% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") due December 15, 2020.  

On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into a $500 million multicurrency credit agreement (the “Revolver”). The Revolver replaced the amended and restated multicurrency credit agreement dated as of July 12, 2007. The Revolver has a term of five years and all outstanding borrowings on the Revolver are due and payable on October 13, 2016. The initial maximum availability under the revolving credit facility is $500 million. Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. The Company may from time to time increase the maximum availability under the revolving credit facility by up to $250 million if certain conditions are satisfied. Borrowings under the Revolver were $18.9 million and zero as of December 30, 2012 and July 1, 2012, respectively.

On August 10, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized up to $50 million in funds for use in a common share repurchase program with an expiration of June 30, 2013. On August 8, 2012 the Board of Directors of the Company authorized up to an additional $50 million in funds associated with the common share repurchase program and an extension of the expiration date to June 30, 2014. The common share repurchase program authorizes the purchase of shares of the Company's common stock on the open market or in private transactions from time to time, depending on market conditions and certain governing loan covenants. During the six months ended December 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 1,053,125 shares on the open market at an average price of $18.26 per share.

The Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $50 million to $60 million in fiscal 2013. These anticipated expenditures reflect our plans to continue to reinvest in efficient equipment and innovative new products.

The Company is required to make contributions to the qualified pension plan of approximately $30 million during fiscal 2013. During the first six months of fiscal 2013, the Company made cash contributions of $16.2 million to the qualified pension plan. The Company may be required to make further contributions in future years depending upon the actual return on plan assets and the funded status of the plan in future periods.

Management believes that available cash, cash generated from operations, existing lines of credit and access to debt markets will be adequate to fund the Company’s capital requirements and operational needs for the foreseeable future.

The Revolver and the Senior Notes contain restrictive covenants. These covenants include restrictions on the Company’s ability to: pay dividends; repurchase shares; incur indebtedness; create liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; consolidate or merge with other entities; sell or lease all or substantially all of its assets; and dispose of assets or use proceeds from sales of its assets. The Revolver contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and impose a maximum leverage ratio. As of December 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with these covenants, and expects to be in compliance with all covenants during the remainder of fiscal 2013.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There have been no material changes since the August 28, 2012 filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no material changes since the August 28, 2012 filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, except that subsequent to the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company learned of the final interest rates published by the Internal Revenue Service used to calculate minimum pension contributions under the MAP-21 Act. In addition, the changes announced to freeze the defined benefit pension plans for non-bargaining employees also impacts the future minimum plan funding requirements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies since the August 28, 2012 filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K. As discussed in our annual report, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include a goodwill assessment, estimates as to the realizability of accounts receivable and inventory assets, as well as estimates used in the determination of liabilities related to customer rebates, pension obligations, postretirement benefits, warranty, product liability, group health insurance, litigation and taxation. Various assumptions and other factors underlie the determination of these significant estimates. The process of determining significant estimates is fact specific and takes into account factors such as historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, product mix, and, in some instances, actuarial techniques. The Company re-evaluates these significant factors as facts and circumstances change.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

A discussion of new accounting pronouncements is included in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q under the heading New Accounting Pronouncements and incorporated herein by reference.
