NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. OVERVIEW, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Overview. Agilent Technologies, Inc. (“we”, “Agilent” or the “company”), incorporated in Delaware in May 1999, is a measurement company, providing core bio-analytical and electronic measurement solutions to the life sciences, chemical analysis, communications and electronics industries.

 

Our fiscal year-end is October 31, and our fiscal quarters end on January 31, April 30 and July 31. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to our fiscal year and fiscal quarters.

 

Acquisition of Varian, Inc. On May 14, 2010, we completed our acquisition of Varian, Inc. (“Varian”) by means of a merger of one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries with and into Varian such that Varian became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Agilent. We financed the purchase price of Varian using the proceeds from our September 2009 offering of senior notes and other existing cash. The Varian merger has been accounted for in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance and the results of Varian are included in Agilent’s consolidated financial statements from the date of merger. For additional details related to the acquisition of Varian, see Note 3, “Acquisition of Varian”.

 

Basis of Presentation. We have prepared the accompanying financial data for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the company in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. Our critical accounting policies are those that affect our financial statements materially and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management. Those policies are revenue recognition, inventory valuation, share-based compensation, retirement and post-retirement benefit plan assumptions, goodwill and purchased intangible assets, restructuring and asset impairment charges and accounting for income taxes.

 

Reclassifications.  Certain prior year financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no impact on previously reported net income.

 

Update to Significant Accounting Policies. With the exception of the adoption of the new accounting pronouncements related to revenue recognition, which are discussed below, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010.

 

Revenue Recognition for Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.  On November 1, 2010, we adopted an accounting update regarding revenue recognition for multiple deliverable arrangements and an accounting update for certain revenue arrangements that include software elements.

 

We adopted the above accounting updates on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified after November 1, 2010. The amended update for multiple deliverable arrangements did not change the units of accounting for our revenue transactions, and most products and services qualify as separate units of accounting. Under the previous guidance for multiple deliverable arrangements with software elements, we typically applied the residual method to allocate revenue if we were unable to determine vendor specific objective evidence of fair value or verifiable objective evidence of fair value for the delivered element but were able to obtain fair value for any undelivered elements.

 

6



Table of Contents

 

The adoption of the amended revenue recognition rules did not significantly change the timing of revenue recognition and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011. We cannot reasonably estimate the effect of adopting these standards on future financial periods as the impact will vary depending on the nature and volume of new or materially modified sales arrangements in any given period.

 

Our multiple-element arrangements are generally comprised of a combination of measurement instruments, installation or other start-up services and/or software and/or support or services. Hardware and software elements are typically delivered at the same time and revenue is recognized upon delivery once title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Delivery of installation, start-up services and other services varies based on the complexity of the equipment, staffing levels in a geographic location and customer preferences, and can range from a few days to a few months. Service revenue is deferred and recognized over the contractual period or as services are rendered and accepted by the customer. Revenue from the sale of software products that are not required to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are accounted for under software revenue recognition rules which require vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value to allocate revenue in a multiple element arrangement. Our arrangements generally do not include any provisions for cancellation, termination, or refunds that would significantly impact recognized revenue.

 

We have evaluated the deliverables in our multiple-element arrangements and concluded that they are separate units of accounting if the delivered item or items have value to the customer on a standalone basis and for an arrangement that includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in our control. We allocate revenue to each element in our multiple-element arrangements based upon their relative selling prices. We determine the selling price for each deliverable based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on VSOE if available, third-party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. Revenue allocated to each element is then recognized when the basic revenue recognition criteria for that element have been met.

 

We use VSOE of selling price in the selling price allocation in all instances where it exists. VSOE of selling price for products and services is determined when a substantial majority of the selling prices fall within a reasonable range when sold separately.  TPE of selling price can be established by evaluating largely interchangeable competitor products or services in standalone sales to similarly situated customers. As our products contain a significant element of proprietary technology and the solution offered differs substantially from that of competitors, it is difficult to obtain the reliable standalone competitive pricing necessary to establish TPE. ESP represents the best estimate of the price at which we would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a standalone basis. We determine ESP for a product or service by using historical selling prices which reflect multiple factors including, but not limited to customer type, geography, market conditions, competitive landscape, gross margin objectives and pricing practices. The determination of ESP is made through consultation with and approval by management.  We may modify or develop new pricing practices and strategies in the future. As these pricing strategies evolve, we may modify our pricing practices in the future, which may result in changes in ESP. The aforementioned factors may result in a different allocation of revenue to the deliverables in multiple element arrangements from the current fiscal quarter, which may change the pattern and timing of revenue recognition for these elements but will not change the total revenue recognized for the arrangement.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The carrying values of certain of our financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt, accrued compensation and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The fair value of long-term equity investments is determined using quoted market prices for those securities when available. For those long-term equity investments accounted for under the cost method, their carrying value approximates their estimated fair value. The fair value of our long-term debt exceeds the carrying value by approximately 7 percent as of July 31, 2011. The fair value of foreign currency contracts used for hedging purposes is estimated internally by using inputs tied to active markets. See also Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements” for additional information on the fair value of financial instruments.

 

Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets. We review goodwill for impairment annually as of September 30 and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with the authoritative guidance. The circumstances that could trigger a goodwill impairment could include, but are not limited to, the following items to the extent that management believes the occurrence of one or more would make it more likely than not that we would fail the first step of the goodwill impairment test (as described in the next paragraph): significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, a more-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed of, a portion of a reporting unit’s goodwill has been included in the carrying amounts of a business that will be disposed or if our market capitalization is below our net book value.

Table of Contents

 

The provisions of authoritative guidance require that we perform a two-step impairment test on goodwill. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The second step (if necessary) measures the amount of impairment by applying fair-value-based tests to the individual assets and liabilities within each reporting unit. As defined in the authoritative guidance, a reporting unit is an operating segment, or one level below an operating segment. Accordingly, we have aggregated components of an operating segment that have similar economic characteristics into our reporting units. At the time of an acquisition, we assign goodwill to the reporting unit that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Agilent has three reporting units, which are the same as our operating segments: life sciences, chemical analysis and electronic measurement.

 

The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment, as our businesses operate in a number of markets and geographical regions. We determine the fair value of our reporting units based on an income approach, whereby we calculate the fair value of each reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, which are formed by evaluating historical trends, current budgets, operating plans and industry data. We evaluate the reasonableness of the fair value calculations of our reporting units by reconciling the total of the fair values of all of our reporting units to our total market capitalization, taking into account an appropriate control premium. We then compare the carrying value of our reporting units to the fair value calculations based on the income approach noted above.

 

If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, then the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with its goodwill carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, with any residual fair value allocated to goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Estimates of the future cash flows associated with the businesses are critical to these assessments. Changes in these estimates based on changed economic conditions or business strategies could result in material impairment charges in future periods.

 

Purchased intangible assets consist primarily of acquired developed technologies, proprietary know-how, trademarks, and customer relationships and are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 6 months to 15 years. In process research and development (“IPR&D”) is initially capitalized at fair value as an intangible asset with an indefinite life and assessed for impairment thereafter. When the IPR&D project is complete, it is reclassified as an amortizable purchased intangible asset and is amortized over its estimated useful life. If an IPR&D project is abandoned, Agilent will record a charge for the value of the related intangible asset to Agilent’s consolidated statement of operations in the period it is abandoned.

 

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In October 2009, the FASB amended revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition and allows the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), or third-party evidence (TPE) is unavailable.  The FASB also amended the scope of existing software revenue recognition accounting. Tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality would be scoped out of the accounting guidance on software and accounted for based on other appropriate revenue recognition guidance. We adopted both of the above guidance effective November 1, 2010 on a prospective basis. The adoption of the amended revenue recognition rules did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.  See Note 1, “Overview, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that requires new disclosures for fair value measurements and provides clarification for existing disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for gross presentation of activity in level 3 which is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods in those years. We adopted the guidance for new disclosures for fair value measurements and clarification for existing disclosure requirements as of February 1, 2010 and there was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we will adopt the guidance regarding level 3 activity on November 1, 2011 and we do not expect there to be a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.  See Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements” for additional information on the fair value of financial instruments.

 

In April 2010, the FASB issued guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions.  The guidance is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted.  We adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2011 and there was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB amended fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to achieve convergence with IFRS.  The amended guidance modifies the measurement of fair value, clarifies verbiage, and changes disclosure or other requirements in US GAAP and IFRS.  The guidance is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  We do not expect a material impact on our consolidated financial statements due to the adoption of this guidance.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income.  The guidance aims to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  We expect to make presentational changes to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption of this guidance, but as this guidance impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

3. ACQUISITION OF VARIAN

 

On May 14, 2010, we completed the previously announced acquisition of Varian through the merger of Varian and Cobalt Acquisition Corp., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Agilent under the Merger Agreement, dated July 26, 2009. As a result of the merger, Varian has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Agilent. Accordingly, the results of Varian are included in Agilent’s consolidated financial statements from the date of the merger.

 

The consideration paid was approximately $1,507 million, comprising $52 cash per share of Varian’s outstanding common stock. We also paid $17 million to acquire Varian’s vested in-the money stock options at $52 cash per share less their exercise price. In addition we paid $12 million for Varian’s non-vested in-the-money stock options at $52 cash per share less their exercise price, and Varian’s non-vested restricted stock awards and non-vested performance shares, each at 100 percent of target and at $52 cash per share. In accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance, settlement of the non-vested awards is considered to be for the performance of post combination services and is therefore stock-based compensation expensed immediately after acquisition. Agilent funded the acquisition using the proceeds from our September 2009 offering of senior notes and other existing cash.

 

The Varian merger was accounted for in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded by Agilent at their estimated fair values. Agilent determined the estimated fair values with the assistance of appraisals or valuations performed by independent third party specialists, discounted cash flow analyses, quoted market prices where available, and estimates made by management. We expect to realize operational and cost synergies, leverage the existing sales channels and product development resources, and utilize the assembled workforce. The company expects the combined entity to achieve significant savings in corporate and divisional overhead costs. The company also anticipates opportunities for growth through expanded geographic and customer segment diversity and the ability to leverage additional products and capabilities. These factors, among others, contributed to a purchase price in excess of the estimated fair value of Varian’s net identifiable assets acquired, and, as a result, we have recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.

 

Goodwill acquired was allocated to our operating segments and reporting units as a part of the purchase price allocation. We do not expect the goodwill recognized to be deductible for income tax purposes. Any impairment charges made in the future associated with goodwill will not be tax deductible.

 

The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the closing date of May 14, 2010.  For the completed purchase price allocation refer to Note 3 of Agilent’s 2010 Form 10-K.

 

The following represents unaudited pro forma operating results as if Varian had been included in the company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as of the beginning of the fiscal year presented (in millions, except per share amounts).

The unaudited pro forma financial information assumes that the companies were combined as of November 1, 2009 and include business combination accounting effects from the acquisition including amortization charges from acquired intangible assets, reduction in revenue and increase in cost of sales due to the respective estimated fair value adjustments to deferred revenue and inventory, decrease to interest income for cash used in the acquisition, acquisition related transaction costs and tax related effects. The pro forma information as presented above is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2010.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended July 31, 2010 combine the historical results of Agilent and Varian for the three months ended July 31, 2010.  The unaudited pro forma financial information for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 combine the historical results of Agilent for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 and the historical results of Varian for the six months ended April 2, 2010 and the three months ended July 31, 2010.

 

4. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Agilent accounts for share-based awards in accordance with the provisions of the revised accounting guidance which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and directors including employee stock option awards, restricted stock units, employee stock purchases made under our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) and performance share awards granted to selected members of our senior management under the long-term performance plan (LTPP) based on estimated fair values.

 

The impact on our results for share-based compensation was as follows:

At July 31, 2011 there was no share-based compensation capitalized within inventory. The windfall tax benefit realized from exercised stock options and similar awards was not material for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010. During the nine months ended July 31, 2010, we reversed approximately $3 million of expense for the cancellation of non-vested awards related to the separation of a senior executive.

 

The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the options and LTPP grants. We had no LTPP and employee stock options granted during the three months ended July 31, 2011.

The fair value of share-based awards for employee stock option awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Shares granted under the LTPP were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Both the Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo simulation fair value models require the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The estimated fair value of restricted stock unit awards is determined based on the market

price of Agilent’s common stock on the date of grant. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at 85 percent of the purchase price and uses the purchase date to establish the fair market value.

 

We use historical volatility to estimate the expected stock price volatility assumption for employee stock option awards. In reaching the conclusion, we have considered many factors including the extent to which our options are currently traded and our ability to find traded options in the current market with similar terms and prices to the options we are valuing. For the grants awarded under the 2009 stock plan after November 1, 2010, we increased the period available to retirement eligible employees to exercise their options from three years at retirement date to the full contractual term of ten years. In developing our estimated life of our employee stock options of 5.8 years, we considered the historical option exercise behavior of our executive employees who were granted the majority of the options in the annual grants made during the first quarter of 2011, which we believe is representative of future behavior.

 

5. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

 

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, we recorded an income tax benefit of $49 million and an income tax provision of $16 million, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of $22 million and $57 million, respectively, for the same periods last year. The income tax benefit and provision for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, includes net discrete tax benefits of $72 million and $55 million, respectively and are primarily associated with the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits and the reversal of the related interest accruals due to the reassessment of certain foreign uncertain tax positions.  The income tax provision for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 also includes a $29 million out of period adjustment to reduce the carrying value of certain U.K. deferred tax assets, which was recorded in the prior quarter ended April 30, 2011.  The overstatement of these deferred tax assets resulted in an overstatement of the U.K. valuation allowance release in the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

The income tax provision for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010 includes a net discrete tax expense netting to zero and $3 million, respectively, relating primarily to tax settlements and lapses of statutes of limitations.

 

Without considering interest and penalties, the effective tax rate reflects taxes in all jurisdictions except the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in which income tax expense or benefit continues to be offset by adjustments to valuation allowances. As of July 31, 2011 we intend to maintain partial or full valuation allowances in these jurisdictions until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.  We currently have a valuation allowance of $334 million of which $269 million relates to U.S. jurisdictions.  Due to improvements in the U.S. operating results over the past three years, management believes a reasonable possibility exists that, within the next year, sufficient positive evidence may become available to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the U.S. valuation allowance will no longer be needed.

 

In the U.S., tax years remain open back to the year 2006 for federal income tax purposes and the year 2000 for state purposes.  In other major jurisdictions where we conduct business, the tax years generally remain open back to the year 2003.  With these jurisdictions and the U.S., it is possible that there could be significant changes to our unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months due to either the expiration of a statute of limitation or a tax audit settlement.  Because of the uncertainty as to the timing of a potential settlement or the completion of tax audits, an estimate cannot be made of the range of tax increases or decreases that could occur in the next twelve months.

 

In December 2010, Agilent reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for tax years 2003-2005.  In addition, Agilent and the IRS reached an agreement on transfer pricing issues covering years 2003-2007. Tax adjustments resulting from these agreements were offset by applying available net operating losses and tax credit carry forwards.  Agilent’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2006 through 2007 are currently under audit by the IRS. As a result of these agreements with the IRS and agreements with other tax jurisdictions, unrecognized tax benefits were reduced from $656 million at October 31, 2010 to $489 million at July 31, 2011.

The dilutive effect of share-based awards is reflected in diluted net income per share by application of the treasury stock method, which includes consideration of unamortized share-based compensation expense and the dilutive effect of in-the-money options and non-vested restricted stock units. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options and unamortized share-based compensation expense are assumed proceeds to be used to repurchase hypothetical shares. An increase in the fair market value of the company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive awards.

 

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, no options to purchase shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 the average stock price was $49 and $44, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010, options to purchase 11 million shares with a weighted average exercise price of $34 were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010 the average stock price was $31.

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, we recorded additions to goodwill of zero and $64 million, respectively, relating to the purchase of three businesses We also recorded a $27 million adjustment to goodwill during the three months ended July 31, 2011 in the electronic measurement segment relating to deferred taxes from a prior acquisition.  During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, we recorded additions to other intangibles of zero and $42 million, respectively, related to the purchase of three businesses. We also recorded $14 million of foreign exchange translation impact to other intangibles for the nine months ended July 31, 2011.

 

Amortization of intangible assets was $29 million and $85 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 and $27 million and $46 million for the same periods in the prior year.  During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, we recorded zero and $3 million of impairments of other intangibles related to an exited business. Future amortization expense related to existing purchased intangible assets is estimated to be $27 million for the remainder of 2011, $95 million for 2012, $78 million for 2013, $67 million for 2014, $57 million for 2015, $50 million for 2016, and $88 million thereafter.

 

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market and assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

 

Fair Value Hierarchy

 

The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1- applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2- applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the asset or liability such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in less active markets; or other inputs that can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3- applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Table of Contents

 

Our money market funds, trading securities investments, and available-for-sale investments are generally valued using quoted market prices and therefore are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Our derivative financial instruments are classified within level 2, as there is not an active market for each hedge contract, but the inputs used to calculate the value of the instruments are tied to active markets.  Our deferred compensation liability is classified as level 2 because although the values are not directly based on quoted market prices, the inputs used in the calculations are observable.

 

Trading securities and deferred compensation liability are reported at fair value, with gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value recognized currently in net income. Investments designated as available-for-sale and certain derivative instruments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses from the sale of these instruments are recorded in net income.

 

For assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (level 3), the following table summarizes the change in balances during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010:

Impairment of Investments. All of our investments, excluding trading securities, are subject to periodic impairment review. The impairment analysis requires significant judgment to identify events or circumstances that would likely have a significant adverse effect on the future value of the investment. We consider various factors in determining whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, including the severity and duration of the impairment, forecasted recovery, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and our ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. There were no other than temporary impairments for investments for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010.

For the three months ended July 31, 2011, long-lived assets held and used with a carrying value of $4 million were written down to their fair value of $1 million.  For the nine months ended July 31, 2011 long-lived assets held and used with a carrying value of $8 million were written down to their fair value of $1 million. For the three months ended July 31, 2011, there were no impairments of long-lived assets held for sale. For the nine months ended July 31, 2011 long-lived assets held for sale with a carrying value of $4 million were written down to their fair value of $3 million. Impairments of long-lived assets held and used were zero for the three months ended July 31, 2010. For the nine months ended July 31, 2010, long-lived assets held and used with a carrying value of $29 million were written down to their fair value of $23 million. Impairments of long-lived assets held for sale were zero for the three months ended July 31, 2010. For the nine months ended July 31, 2010, long-lived assets held for sale with a carrying value of $30 million were written down to their fair value of $16 million. Fair value for the impaired long-lived assets was measured using level 2 inputs and impairments were included in net income for the period stated.

 

10. DERIVATIVES

 

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate changes in the normal course of our business. As part of risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, purchased options, and interest rate swaps, to hedge economic and/or accounting exposures resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

 

Fair Value Hedges

 

We are exposed to interest rate risk due to the mismatch between the interest expense we pay on our loans at fixed rates and the variable rates of interest we receive from cash, cash equivalents and other short-term investments. We have issued long-term debt in U.S. dollars at fixed interest rates based on the market conditions at the time of financing. We believe that the fair value of our fixed rate debt changes when the underlying market rates of interest change, and we may use interest rate swaps to modify such market risk. The interest rate swaps effectively change our fixed interest rate payments to U.S. dollar LIBOR-based variable interest expense to match the floating interest income from our cash, cash equivalents and other short term investments.  By entering into these interest rate swaps we are also hedging the movements in the fair value of the fixed-rate debt on our balance sheet.  However, not all of our fixed rate debt’s fair value is hedged in this manner, and in the future we may choose to terminate previously executed swaps. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, we recognize the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, in interest expense, in the consolidated statement of operations. These fair value hedges are 100 percent effective, and there is no impact on earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness. The fair value of the swaps is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at each period end, with an offsetting entry in senior notes.  As of July 31, 2011, there were 9 interest rate swap contracts designated as fair value hedges associated with our 2012 and 2020 senior notes. The notional amount of these interest rate swap contracts, receive-fixed/pay-variable, was $750 million. On November 25, 2008, we terminated two interest rate swap contracts associated with our 2017 senior notes that represented the notional amount of $400 million. The asset value, including interest receivable, upon termination was approximately $43 million and the amount to be amortized at July 31, 2011 was $32 million. On June 6, 2011, we also terminated five interest rate swap contracts associated with our 2015 senior notes that represented the notional amount of $500 million.  The asset value, including interest accrual, upon termination was approximately $31 million and the amount to be amortized at July 31, 2011 was $26 million. The proceeds from all such terminated interest rate swaps are recorded as operating cash flows and the gain is being deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the respective senior notes. On Aug 9, 2011, we terminated five interest rate swap contracts related to our 2020 senior notes that represented the notional amount of $500 million. The asset value, including interest receivable, upon termination for these contracts was approximately $34 million.

 

Cash Flow Hedges

 

We enter into foreign exchange contracts to hedge our forecasted operational cash flow exposures resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts, carried at fair value, have maturities between one and twelve months. These derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges under the criteria prescribed in the authoritative guidance. The changes in the value of the effective portion of the derivative instrument are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. Amounts associated with cash flow hedges are reclassified to cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations when either the forecasted transaction occurs or it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. Changes in the fair value of the ineffective portion of derivative instruments are recognized in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations in the current period.

 

Other Hedges

 

Additionally, we enter into foreign exchange contracts to hedge monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries. These foreign exchange contracts are carried at fair value and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are not designated as hedging instruments. Changes in value of the derivative are

recognized in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations, in the current period, along with the offsetting foreign currency gain or loss on the underlying assets or liabilities.

 

Our use of derivative instruments exposes us to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement. We do, however, seek to mitigate such risks by limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions which are selected based on their credit ratings and other factors.  We have established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk that include establishing counterparty credit limits,  monitoring credit exposures, and continually assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties.

 

All of our derivative agreements contain threshold limits to the net liability position with counterparties and are dependent on our corporate credit rating determined by the major credit rating agencies. If our corporate credit rating were to fall below investment grade, the counterparties to the derivative instruments may request collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions.

 

The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position as of July 31, 2011, was approximately $3 million. The credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had not been triggered as of July 31, 2011.

 

There were 127 foreign exchange forward contracts and 7 foreign exchange option contracts open as of July 31, 2011 and designated as cash flow hedges. There were 200 foreign exchange forward contracts open as of July 31, 2011 not designated as hedging instruments.

11. RESTRUCTURING COSTS, ASSET IMPAIRMENTS AND OTHER SPECIAL CHARGES

 

Our 2005 restructuring program, announced in the fourth quarter of 2005, is largely complete. The remaining obligations under this and previous plans relate primarily to lease obligations that are expected to be satisfied over approximately the next year.

 

Our 2009 restructuring program, the (“FY 2009 Plan”), announced in the first half of 2009, was conceived in response to deteriorating economic conditions and was designed to deliver sufficient savings to enable our businesses to reach their profitability targets throughout the cycle. Workforce reduction payments, primarily severance, were largely complete in fiscal year 2010. Lease payments should primarily be complete by the end of fiscal 2014.

As of April 1, 2011, we approved changes to our U.S. Post-Retirement Benefit Plan. In connection with these changes, we reduced our Accumulated Prospective Benefit Obligation by $194 million with the offset going to accumulated other comprehensive income.  The prior service credit will be amortized over the future working lifetime of all participants in the plan which is approximately 9 years.

 

We contributed approximately zero to our U.S. defined benefit plans and $17 million to our non-U.S. defined benefit plans during the three months ended July 31, 2011 and $33 million and $51 million, respectively, for the nine months ended July 31, 2011.  We contributed less than $1 million to our U.S. defined benefit plans and $12 million to our non-U.S. defined benefit plans during the three months ended July 31, 2010 and $32 million and $34 million, respectively, for the nine months ended July 31, 2010.  We expect to contribute approximately zero to our U.S. defined benefit plans and $16 million to our non-U.S. defined benefit plans during the remainder of 2011.

 

13. WARRANTIES AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Warranties

 

We accrue for standard warranty costs based on historical trends in warranty charges as a percentage of net product shipments. The accrual is reviewed regularly and periodically adjusted to reflect changes in warranty cost estimates. Estimated warranty charges

are recorded within cost of products at the time products are sold. The standard warranty accrual balances are held in other accrued and other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our warranty terms typically extend for one year from the date of delivery.

Contingencies

 

We are involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including patent, commercial and environmental matters. We record a provision for a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. There are no matters pending that we believe are reasonably possible of being material in relation to our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

14. SHORT-TERM DEBT AND SHORT-TERM RESTRICTED CASH & CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

Credit Facility

 

On May 11, 2007, we entered into a five-year credit agreement, which provides for a $300 million unsecured credit facility that will expire on May 11, 2012. On September 8, 2009, we entered into an Accession Agreement, increasing the credit facility from $300 million to $330 million. The company may use amounts borrowed under the facility for general corporate purposes. As of July 31, 2011 the company has no borrowings outstanding under the facility. We were in compliance with the covenants for the credit facility during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011.

 

World Trade Debt

 

We satisfied the financing obligation of World Trade in its entirety on December 10, 2010 using the proceeds of our senior notes issued in July 2010 and existing cash on our balance sheet.

 

Short-Term Restricted Cash & Cash Equivalents

 

As of October 31, 2010, $1,550 million was reported as short-term restricted cash and cash equivalents in our consolidated balance sheet which was held in commercial paper maintained in connection with our World Trade repurchase obligation. This restricted cash, held by one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, has been reclassified to cash and cash equivalents following the December 10, 2010 settlement of the World Trade repurchase obligation.

All notes issued are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with all of Agilent’s other senior unsecured indebtedness. There have been no changes to the principal, maturity, interest rates and interest payment terms of the senior notes in the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 as compared to the senior notes described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010.

 

On November 25, 2008, we terminated two interest rate swap contracts associated with our 2017 senior notes that represented the notional amount of $400 million. The asset value, including interest receivable, upon termination was approximately $43 million and the amount to be amortized at July 31, 2011 was $32 million. The gain is being deferred and amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the senior notes.

 

On June 6, 2011, we terminated our interest rate swap contracts related to our 2015 senior notes that represented the notional amount of $500 million.  The asset value, including interest receivable, upon termination for these contracts was approximately $31 million and the amount to be amortized at July 31, 2011 was $26 million.  The gain is being deferred and amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the senior notes.

 

Upon the closing of the offering of the 2012 senior notes, we entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $250 million. Also concurrent with issuing the 2020 senior notes in July 2010, we entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $500 million. Under the interest rate swaps, we will receive fixed-rate interest payments and will make payments based on the U.S. dollar LIBOR plus 258 basis points and 179 basis points with respect to the 2012 and 2020 senior notes, respectively. The economic effect of these swaps will be to convert the fixed-rate interest expense on the senior notes to a variable LIBOR-based interest rate. The hedging relationship qualifies for the shortcut method of assessing hedge effectiveness, and consequently we do not expect any ineffectiveness during the life of the swap and any movement in the value of the swap would be reflected in the movement in fair value of the senior notes. At July 31, 2011, the fair value of the swaps on 2012 and 2020 senior notes was an asset of $15 million, with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of senior notes.

 

On August 9, 2011, we terminated our interest rate swap contracts related to our 2020 senior notes that represented the notional amount of $500 million.  The asset value, including interest receivable, upon termination for these contracts was approximately $34 million.  The gain will be deferred and amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the senior notes.

17. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

 

On November 19, 2009 our Board of Directors approved a share-repurchase program to reduce or eliminate dilution of basic outstanding shares in connection with issuances of stock under the company’s equity incentive plans. The share-repurchase program does not require the company to acquire a specific number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. There is no fixed termination date for the new share-repurchase program. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011, we repurchased 4 million shares for $192 million and 10 million shares for $462 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010, we repurchased 3 million shares for $94 million and 11 million shares for $359 million, respectively. All such shares and related costs are held as treasury stock and accounted for using the cost method.

 

18. SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

Description of segments. We are a measurement company, providing core bio-analytical and electronic measurement solutions to the life sciences, chemical analysis, communications and electronics industries. The three operating segments were determined based primarily on how the chief operating decision maker views and evaluates our operations. Operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance. Other factors, including market separation and customer specific applications, go-to-market channels, products and services and manufacturing are considered in determining the formation of these operating segments.

 

A description of our three reportable segments is as follows:

 

Our life sciences business provides application-focused solutions that include instruments, software, consumables, and services that enable customers to identify, quantify and analyze the physical and biological properties of substances and products.  Key product categories in life sciences include: DNA and RNA microarrays and associated scanner, software, and reagents; microfluidics-based sample analysis systems; liquid chromatography (LC) systems, columns and components; liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) systems; capillary electrophoresis systems; laboratory software and informatics systems; bio-reagents and related products; laboratory automation and robotic systems, dissolution testing; Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems along with X-Ray Crystallography, and services and support for the aforementioned products.

 

Our chemical analysis business provides application-focused solutions that include instruments, software, consumables, and services that enable customers to identify, quantify and analyze the physical and biological properties of substances and products.  Key product categories in chemical analysis include: gas chromatography (GC) systems, columns and components; gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) systems; inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) products; spectroscopy products; software and data systems; vacuum pumps and measurement technologies; services and support for the aforementioned products.

 

Our electronic measurement business provides electronic measurement instruments and systems, software design tools and related services that are used in the design, development, manufacture, installation, deployment and operation of electronics equipment, and microscopy products. Related services include start-up assistance, instrument productivity and application services and instrument calibration and repair. We also offer customization, consulting and optimization services throughout the customer’s product lifecycle.

 

A significant portion of the segments’ expenses arise from shared services and infrastructure that we have historically provided to the segments in order to realize economies of scale and to efficiently use resources. These expenses, collectively called corporate charges, include costs of centralized research and development, legal, accounting, real estate, insurance services, information technology services, treasury and other corporate infrastructure expenses. Charges are allocated to the segments, and the allocations have been determined on a basis that we consider to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or benefits received by the segments.

 

The following tables reflect the results of our reportable segments under our management reporting system. These results are not necessarily in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The performance of each segment is measured based on several metrics, including adjusted income from operations. These results are used, in part, by the chief operating decision maker in evaluating the performance of, and in allocating resources to, each of the segments.
