New in FY2018

On July 19, 2018 our manufacturing facility in Marshalltown, Iowa was damaged by a tornado.

New in FY2018

Insurance covers the repair or replacement of our assets that suffered damage or loss.

New in FY2018

We are working closely with our insurance carriers and claims adjusters to ascertain the full amount of insurance recoveries due to us as a result of the damage and loss we suffered.

New in FY2018

Our insurance policies also provide business interruption coverage, including lost profits, and reimbursement for other expenses and costs that have been incurred relating to the damages and losses suffered.

New in FY2018

For the year ended December 31, 2018 we incurred expenses of $86.0 million related to damages caused by the tornado, which included the write-off of damaged property, equipment and inventory, freight to move product to other warehouses and professional fees to secure and maintain the site.

New in FY2018

We have received insurance recoveries of $124.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

New in FY2018

We have allocated the first $96.9 million of insurance recoveries to cover our expenses and rebuilding costs incurred to date which is included in Gain from insurance recoveries, net of losses incurred in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

New in FY2018

The remaining $27.4 million of insurance recoveries represents amounts for lost profits and is shown in Insurance proceeds for lost profits in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

New in FY2018

In 2019, we expect to receive approximately $83 million of insurance proceeds related to lost profits and $149 million of insurance proceeds to fund the reconstruction of the facility and as reimbursement for other losses and expenses expected to be incurred.

New in FY2018

As part of our recovery efforts, we have shifted production of certain products that were previously only produced at our Marshalltown facility to our other facilities.

New in FY2018

We believe this provides increased manufacturing flexibility.

New in FY2018

| • | Net sales increased $44 million, or 1.2%, to $3,884 million in 2018 from $3,840 million in 2017. |

New in FY2018

| • | Operating income in 2018 was $510 million compared to $495 million in 2017. The increase was primarily due to increased sales, reductions in SG&A expenses, and insurance proceeds received for third-quarter lost profits, partially offset by lower gross profit. |

New in FY2018

| • | In 2018, we returned $94 million to shareholders through dividend payments and we used $450 million to purchase 2.3 million shares of stock under our Share Repurchase Plans. We also received $115 million in net proceeds from the sale of our businesses in Australia, Asia and South America along with the sale of the related property. |

New in FY2018

This segment’s results were driven by volume and price gains.

New in FY2018

Sales in our Refrigeration segment decreased 15% and segment profit decreased $7 million compared to 2017 mostly due to the sale of our Australia, Asia and South America businesses.

New in FY2018

Net sales increased 1.2% in 2018 compared to 2017, primarily driven by volume and price increases.

New in FY2018

These increases were partially offset by the impact due to the sale of our Australia, Asia and South America businesses in our Refrigeration segment.

New in FY2018

We saw margin decreases of 120 bps from higher commodity costs, 100 bps from higher freight and distribution costs, and 50 bps from other product costs.

New in FY2018

These decreases were offset by increases of 130 bps from favorable price and mix and 70 bps from sourcing and engineering-led cost reductions.

New in FY2018

SG&A expenses decreased by $30 million in 2018 compared to 2017.

New in FY2018

The special legal contingency charges decreased primarily due to lower legal costs associated with outstanding legal settlements.

New in FY2018

In the current year, we wrote off $11.5 million of goodwill as a part of the completed sales of our Australia, Asia and South America businesses (discussed further in Note 17 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

New in FY2018

Also, we did not record any goodwill impairments in 2017.

New in FY2018

We did not have significant pension buyout activity in 2018 or 2017.

New in FY2018

Income from equity method investments was $12 million in 2018 compared to $18 million in 2017.

New in FY2018

The decrease is because the joint ventures have experienced increased costs related to commodities and components and have not passed these increased costs on through price increases.

New in FY2018

The 2018 effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and foreign taxes.

New in FY2018

The 2017 effective tax rate was negatively impacted by changes in U.S. tax legislation that reduced the value of our deferred tax assets by $31.8 million, partially offset by the benefit from the impact of excess tax benefits of $23.6 million.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“the new revenue standard”) and applied it to all contracts using the modified retrospective method.

Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories,

Dropped from FY2017

On March 30, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees.

Dropped from FY2017

The new guidance requires entities to record all tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement or expiration through the income statement and the excess tax benefit to be recorded when it arises, subject to normal valuation allowance considerations.

Dropped from FY2017

This is in comparison to the prior requirement that these excess tax benefits be recognized in additional paid-in capital.

Dropped from FY2017

The new guidance also requires excess tax benefits to be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows rather than, as previously required, a financing activity.

Dropped from FY2017

We have adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis where permitted by the new standard.

Dropped from FY2017

As a result of this adoption:

Dropped from FY2017

| • | We recognized discrete tax benefits of $23.6 million in the income taxes line item of our consolidated statements of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 related to excess tax benefits upon vesting or settlement in that period. |

Dropped from FY2017

| • | We elected to adopt the cash flow presentation of the excess tax benefits retrospectively where these benefits are classified along with other income tax cash flows as operating cash flows. |

Dropped from FY2017

| • | We have elected to continue to estimate the number of stock-based awards expected to vest, rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. |

Dropped from FY2017

| • | We excluded the excess tax benefits from the assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares in the computation of our diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2017. |

Dropped from FY2017

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.

Dropped from FY2017

The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective.

Dropped from FY2017

The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2018.

Dropped from FY2017

Early application is not permitted.

Dropped from FY2017

We have substantially completed our evaluation of the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Dropped from FY2017

The ASU will not have a material impact on the amount and timing of revenue recognition, but it will require us to enhance our disclosures to provide additional information relating to disaggregated revenue, contract assets and liabilities, and remaining performance obligations.

Dropped from FY2017

We are currently in the process of preparing these additional disclosures, including updating our internal controls related to the additional data and disclosures to be provided upon adoption of the new standard.

Dropped from FY2017

It will be critical to identify leases embedded in a contract to avoid misstating the lessee’s balance sheet.

Dropped from FY2017

We will adopt the standard using the prospective approach and are still determining the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.
