PART I
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “Pentair,” “we,”
“our,” and “us” refer to Pentair, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (incorporated in 1966), and its subsidiaries.
We are a diversified
manufacturer operating in three segments on a global basis. Our diversification has enabled us to provide shareholders with relatively consistent and improved operating results despite difficult markets that may occur in one or another segment at
times. Ongoing demand for power tools, the increasing need for clean water throughout the world, and the critical importance of protecting sensitive electronics give Pentair excellent prospects for long-term performance. Our basic operating
strategies include:
Ÿ |
long-term growth in sales and income; |
Ÿ |
ongoing cost containment and productivity improvement driven by lean manufacturing initiatives; |
Ÿ |
new product development and consistent product enhancement; |
Ÿ |
multi-channel distribution; and |
Ÿ |
portfolio management of our businesses. |
Our address
on the Internet is www.pentair.com. You may learn more about us by visiting this site. The information on our web site is not incorporated into this annual report on Form 10-K.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Growth of our business
We continually look at each of our businesses to determine whether they fit with our evolving strategic vision. Our primary focus is on businesses with strong fundamentals and growth opportunities. We seek growth both through product and
service innovation and acquisitions. Acquisitions have played an important part in the 87 percent sales growth of our business over the past five years.
Discontinued operations
In December 2000, we adopted a plan to sell our Equipment segment businesses, Service Equipment (Century Mfg Co./Lincoln Automotive Company) and
Lincoln Industrial, Inc (Lincoln Industrial). In October 2001, we completed the sale of the Service Equipment businesses to Clore Automotive, LLC and in December 2001, we completed the sale of Lincoln Industrial to affiliates of The Jordan Company
LLC, other investors, and members of management of Lincoln Industrial.
The following table summarizes the components of the proceeds from the sales:

Amount received as of the end of 2001 was $12,053. |
As part of the sale of Lincoln Industrial, we received 37,500 shares of 5% Series C Junior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock convertible into a 15 percent equity interest in the new organization – LN Holdings Corporation. The
preferred stock has a $37.5 million face value, but has been recorded at $18.4 million, which represents the estimated fair value of the preferred stock based on an independent valuation. The selling price of Lincoln Industrial is subject to a final
purchase price adjustment based on determination of audited net assets, which we expect to occur in the first half of 2002.

Also refer to ITEM 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and ITEM 8, Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, included in this Form 10-K.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We classify our continuing operations into the following business segments:
Ÿ |
Tools — which manufactures and markets tool products positioned at the mid- to upper-end of the market and targets professionals and upscale hobbyists. Tools
segment products include woodworking machinery, portable power tools, metal and stoneworking tools, compressors, generators, and pressure washers. |
Ÿ |
Water — which manufactures and markets essential products for the transport and treatment of water, wastewater and fluids. Water segment products include
water and wastewater pumps, control valves, pumps and pumping stations for thick fluid transfer applications, storage tanks, filtration systems, and pool and spa accessories. |
Ÿ |
Enclosures — which designs, manufactures, and markets customized and standard metal and composite enclosures that house and protect sensitive controls and
components for markets that include data communications, networking, telecommunications, testing equipment, automotive, and general electronics. Products include metallic and composite enclosures, cabinets, cases, subracks, thermal management
backplanes and power supplies. |
Ÿ |
Other — is primarily composed of corporate expenses, our insurance subsidiary, intermediate finance companies, divested operations, discontinued operations,
and intercompany eliminations. |
Business segment and geographical financial information is contained in ITEM 8, Note 14 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Form 10-K.
TOOLS SEGMENT
Seasonality
In line with the Christmas gift-giving season, we typically experience stronger fourth quarter and weaker first quarter sales in our
Tools segment. Because of this, we also experience higher inventories in the third quarter and growth in accounts receivable in the fourth and first quarters of each year.
Competition
The Tools segment faces numerous competitors and strong distributors, some of which are larger and have more resources. Competition in
the Tools segment has been intense and continues to increase, especially as these industries consolidate. In most markets, only a few large players remain, each having extensive product lines. Growth is anticipated to come from product development,
continued penetration of expanding market channels, and acquisitions, especially in the accessories arena.
Competition at the end-user level focuses
primarily on brand names, product performance and features, quality, service and, most importantly, price. The competition for shelf space at home centers and national retailers is particularly intense, demanding continuing product innovation,
special inventory and delivery programs, after-sale service capability, and competitive pricing. Our strategy is to be the price/quality leader in our selected markets. Our success in maintaining our position in the marketplace is primarily due to
developing product feature innovations, new products, outsourcing, productivity, and promotions.
Customer concentration
Information regarding significant customers in our Tools segment is contained in ITEM 8, Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Form 10-K.

Table of Contents
WATER SEGMENT
Seasonality
We experience strong seasonal demand in our Water segment for pool and spa equipment products in the March through July time period, with some advance sales
occurring in earlier months, which generally receive longer payment terms. As the installed base grows throughout North America and Europe, the selling season tends to lengthen.
Competition
Our Water segment faces numerous competitors, some of which are larger, have more resources, and are more vertically integrated.
Competition in the commercial and residential pump markets focuses on brand names, product performance, quality, and price. While home center and national retailers are important for residential lines of water and wastewater pumps, they are much
less important in commercial pump markets. In municipal pump markets, competition focuses on performance to required specification, service and price. Competition in the water treatment component market focuses on product performance and design,
quality, delivery and price. In the pool and spa equipment market, there are a number of competitors, one of which we consider our major competitor. We compete by offering a wide variety of innovative and high quality products, which are
competitively priced. Our existing distribution channels and reputation for quality also contribute to our continuing market penetration.
Customer
concentration
Information regarding significant customers in our Water segment is contained in ITEM 8, Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Form
10-K.
ENCLOSURES SEGMENT
Competition
Competition in the enclosures markets can be very intense, especially in telecom and datacom markets, where product design, prototyping, global supply, and customer service are very
significant factors. As we further penetrate the telecom and datacom markets, the Enclosures segment encounters increasing competition on a global basis from contract electronics manufacturers. The year 2001 was a difficult period in the Enclosures
segment, however, we remained profitable while many competitors faced financing issues stemming from significant volume declines. Future growth in the Enclosures segment will likely come from continued channel penetration, growth in defined
modification product offerings, product development, geographic expansion, and acquisitions. Consolidation, globalization, and outsourcing are the most important trends in the electronic enclosures business and we participated by making several
acquisitions in the past few years. We believe our Enclosures business has the broadest array of products and also a significant footprint globally.

The $12.2 million decline in Tools segment backlog was primarily due to the timing of orders for pressure
washers and air compressors. Large orders for these products were not received until early 2002. The $12.6 million decline in Water segment backlog was primarily due to the timing of orders for our pool equipment products. Early-buy orders are
normally received near the end of the year and shipped the following year. In
5
Table of Contents
2001, a larger portion of these orders were received and shipped in the same year. The $48.8 million decline in Enclosures segment backlog reflects reduced capital spending in the industrial
market and the downturn in the datacom and telecom markets.
Environmental
Matters
pertaining to the environment are discussed in ITEM 3, ITEM 7, and in ITEM 8, Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Form 10-K.
Raw materials
The principal raw materials we purchase are plastic and steel. As a result of our significant diversification, we are not exposed to
large swings in any one raw material price. The materials used in the various manufacturing processes are purchased on the open market, and the majority are available through multiple sources and are in adequate supply.
Intellectual Property
Patents, trademarks, and proprietary technology are important to our business.
However, we do not regard our business as being materially dependent upon any single patent, trademark, or technology.
Employees
At the end of 2001, we employed approximately 11,700 people and consider our employee relations to be very good.
Our corporate offices are located in St. Paul, Minnesota. Manufacturing operations
are carried out at approximately 19 plants located throughout the United States and at 17 plants located in 11 other countries. Of these manufacturing facilities, two plants located in the United States and two plants located in Europe will be
closed or abandoned in 2002. In addition, we have approximately 30 warehouse facilities and numerous sales and service offices throughout the world. Through a 40 percent-owned joint venture with a long-time Asian tool supplier, we have an interest
in four additional factories in Asia.
We believe that our production facilities are suitable for their purpose and are adequate to support our
businesses.
We have been made parties to a number of actions filed or have been given
notice of potential claims relating to the conduct of our business, including those pertaining to product liability, environmental, safety and health, patent infringement, and employment matters. Major matters that may have an impact on Pentair are
discussed below. We believe that the outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, or future results of operations.
Environmental
We have been named as defendants, targets or potentially responsible parties (PRPs) in a small number of environmental
cleanups, in which our current or former business units have generally been given deminimis status. To date, none of these claims have resulted in cleanup costs, fines, penalties, or damages in an amount material to our financial
condition or results of operations. We have disposed of a number of businesses over the past ten years and in certain cases, such as the disposition of the Lake Superior Paper Industries supercalendared paper business and the Cross Pointe Paper
Corporation uncoated paper business in 1995 and the disposition of the Federal Cartridge Company ammunition business in 1997, we have retained responsibility and potential liability for certain environmental obligations. We have received claims for
indemnification from purchasers of both the paper business and the ammunition business. We have established what we believe to be adequate accruals for potential liabilities arising out of retained responsibilities.
In addition, there are pending environmental issues concerning a limited number of sites including sites in Jackson, Tennessee, and Los Angeles, California. We acquired the site
in Jackson from Rockwell International
6
Table of Contents
Corporation, with whom we have agreed on division of responsibility for remediation and other future costs relating to the site. The site in Los Angeles was acquired in the purchase of the
pressure vessel and pool and spa equipment businesses of Essef Corporation and relates to operations no longer carried out at that site. We have established what we believe to be adequate accruals for remediation costs. We do not believe that
projected response costs will result in a material liability.
Product liability claims
As of February 28, 2002, we are defendants in approximately 148 product liability lawsuits and have been notified of approximately 164 additional claims. We continue to have in place insurance coverage deemed adequate for our needs. A
substantial number of these lawsuits and claims are insured and accrued for by Penwald Insurance Company (Penwald), a regulated insurance company wholly owned by Pentair. See discussion in ITEM 8, Note 1 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements – Insurance subsidiary. Accounting accruals covering the deductible portion of liability claims not covered by Penwald have been established and are reviewed on a regular basis. We have not experienced unfavorable trends in either
the severity or frequency of product liability claims.
Horizon litigation
Twenty-eight separate lawsuits involving 29 primary plaintiffs, a class action, and claims for indemnity by Celebrity Cruise Lines, Inc. (Celebrity), were brought against Essef Corporation (Essef) and certain of its subsidiaries prior to
our acquisition in August 1999. These lawsuits alleged exposure to Legionnaires bacteria by passengers aboard the cruise ship M/V Horizon, a ship operated by Celebrity. The lawsuits included a class action brought on behalf of all passengers aboard
the ship during the relevant time period, individual “opt-out” passenger suits, and a suit by Celebrity. Celebrity alleges in its suit that it has sustained economic damages due to loss of usage of the M/V Horizon while it was dry-docked.
The claims against Essef and its involved subsidiaries, are based upon the allegation that Essef designed, manufactured, and marketed two sand swimming
pool filters that were installed as a part of the spa system on the Horizon, and allegations that the spa, and filters, contained bacteria that infected certain passengers on cruises from December 1993 through July 1994.
Prior to our acquisition of Essef, a settlement was reached in the class action. With regard to the individual “opt-out” passenger suits, the claims of one plaintiff
were tried under a stipulation among all remaining parties providing that the liability findings would be applicable to all plaintiffs and defendants. The claims of this plaintiff were unusual because he alleged that he developed complications that
profoundly impaired his mental functioning. No other plaintiff asserted similar claims.
The trial resulted in a jury verdict on June 13, 2000 finding
liability on the part of the Essef defendants (70%) and Celebrity and its sister company, Fantasia (together 30%). Compensatory damages in the total amount of $2.7 million were awarded, each defendant being accountable for its proportionate share of
liability. The Essef defendants’ proportionate share is covered by insurance. Punitive damages were separately awarded against the Essef defendants in the total amount of $7 million, with 60% awarded to all remaining plaintiffs and 40% to
Celebrity. Essef and its subsidiaries filed post-trial motions challenging the verdict, which were denied in February 2002. Essef intends to file an appeal to the United States Court of Appeal for the Second Circuit.
All of the remaining individual cases have been resolved through either settlement or trial. The only remaining unresolved case is that brought by Celebrity for interruption of
its business. That case has been placed on hold pending a resolution of post-trial motions.
At the current time, we are optimistic that remaining suits
will be resolved within available insurance coverage. With regard to Celebrity’s claim against Essef, Westchester, one of Essef’s insurance carriers, has issued a notice of rights letter. This is a pre-acquisition liability and we believe
we have reserves sufficient to cover the amount of any uninsured awards or settlements.

All financial information reflects our Equipment segment (Century Mfg Co./Lincoln Automotive and Lincoln Industrial businesses) as discontinued
operations. The 2001 results reflect a pre-tax loss on the sale of these businesses of $36.3 million ($24.6 million after tax, or $0.50 per share).
The 2000 results reflect a non-cash pre-tax
cumulative effect of accounting change related to revenue recognition that reduced income by $1.9 million ($1.2 million after tax, or $0.02 per share).
The 1997 results include a pre-tax
gain on the sale of Federal Cartridge of $10.3 million ($1.2 million after tax, or $0.03 per share).

Our
disclosure and analysis in this report may contain some forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expected,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” or “continue,” or the negative thereof
or similar words. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report and in any public statements we make could
be materially different from actual results. They can be affected by assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statements can be guaranteed. Actual results may vary materially.
Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Investors should also understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the following list to be a complete
statement of all-potential risks and uncertainties.
Any change in the following factors may impact the achievement of results:
Ÿ |
changes in industry conditions, such as: |
Ÿ |
the strength of product demand; |
Ÿ |
the intensity of competition; |
Ÿ |
pricing pressures; |
Ÿ |
market acceptance of new product introductions; |
Ÿ |
the introduction of new products by competitors; |
Ÿ |
our ability to source components from third parties without interruption and at reasonable prices; and |
Ÿ |
the financial condition of our customers. |
Ÿ |
changes in our business strategies, including acquisition, divestiture, and restructuring activities; |
Ÿ |
governmental and regulatory policies; |
Ÿ |
general economic conditions, such as the rate of economic growth in our principal geographic or product markets or fluctuations in exchange rates;
|
Ÿ |
changes in operating factors, such as continued improvement in manufacturing activities and the achievement of related efficiencies and inventory risks due to shifts in market
demand; and |
Ÿ |
our ability to accurately evaluate the effects of contingent liabilities such as taxes, product liability, environmental, and other claims. |
The foregoing factors are not exhaustive, and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that would impact our business.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing the financial
statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which in many cases require us to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported. Many of these policies are relatively
straightforward. There are, however, a few policies that are critical because they are important in determining the financial condition and results of operations and they can be difficult to apply. We believe that the most critical accounting
policies applied in the preparation of our financial statements relate to:
Ÿ |
accounting for contingencies, under which we accrue an expense when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated;
|
Ÿ |
measuring assets for impairment; and |
Ÿ |
accounting for pensions and other post-retirement benefits, because of the importance of management judgment in making the estimates necessary to apply these policies.
|
11
Table of Contents
The difficulty in applying these policies arises from the assumptions, estimates, and judgments that have to be made
currently about matters that are inherently uncertain, such as future economic conditions, operating results, and valuations, as well as management intentions. As the difficulty increases, the level of precision decreases, meaning that actual
results can and often will be different from those currently estimated. We base our assumptions, estimates, and judgments on a combination of historical experiences, as well as other factors we believe reasonable under the circumstances.
Contingencies, by their nature, relate to uncertainties that require management to exercise judgment both in assessing the likelihood that a liability
has been incurred as well as in estimating the amount of the potential expense. The most important contingencies impacting our financial statements relate to:
Ÿ |
the collectibility of accounts receivable; |
Ÿ |
the valuation of inventories and reserves to adjust inventory to the lower of cost or market; |
Ÿ |
estimating sales returns and warranty costs; |
Ÿ |
self-insurance reserves for product liability, workers’ compensation, and employee medical liabilities; |
Ÿ |
assumptions used in the valuation of environmental remediation costs and pending litigation; and |
Ÿ |
the resolution of matters related to open tax years. |
Measuring assets for impairment requires estimating intentions as to holding periods, future operating cash flows, and residual values of the assets under review. Changes in management intentions, market conditions, or operating performance
could indicate that impairment charges might be necessary.
Accounting for pensions and other post-retirement benefits involves estimating the cost of
benefits to be provided well into the future and attributing that cost over the time period each employee works. To accomplish this, extensive use is made of assumptions about inflation, investment returns, mortality, turnover, medical costs, and
discount rates.
See ITEM 8, Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Form 10-K for a further discussion of certain
specific accounting policies.

Net sales in 2001 totaled $2,616 million, compared with $2,748 million in 2000, and $2,116 million in
1999. The 4.8 percent decline in 2001 was primarily due to volume declines in each of our business segments resulting from a weak global economy and the stronger U.S. dollar reducing the dollar value of foreign sales by about

0.5 percent. In 2000, volume grew about 32.5 percent (up about 8 percent adjusted for acquisitions), with the stronger U.S. dollar reducing the dollar value of foreign sales by about 1.6
percent.

Tools
The 2.6 percent decline in
Tools segment sales in 2001 was primarily due to:
Ÿ |
lower sales volume due to the weak economy; and |
Ÿ |
lower average selling prices in the first nine months of the year, stemming from the mid-2000 price discounting activities, somewhat offset by an increase in realized selling
prices in the fourth quarter of 2001. |
The 21.8 percent increase in Tools segment sales in 2000 was primarily due to:
Ÿ |
the September 1999 acquisition of DeVilbiss Air Power Company (DAPC); and |
Ÿ |
higher sales volume in our Porter-Cable/Delta business. |
These increases in 2000 were partially offset by:
Ÿ |
lower sales volume in 2000 for generators due to high inventories at distributors and retailers at the end of 1999 and lower storm sales in 2000; and
|
Ÿ |
lower average selling prices, primarily in our Porter-Cable/Delta business, due to price discounting in some markets on some products in 2000 to recover market share.
|
Water
The 1.8 percent decline in Water segment sales in
2001 was primarily due to:
Ÿ |
lower sales volume for our industrial pumps and components for large water filtration systems as a weaker economy slowed demand; and |
Ÿ |
unfavorable impacts of foreign currency translation. |
These decreases in 2001 were partially offset by:
Ÿ |
higher sales volume in our pool and spa equipment business as we increased our market share. |
The 55.0 percent increase in Water segment sales in 2000 was primarily due to:
Ÿ |
the August 1999 acquisition of the pressure vessel and pool and spa equipment businesses of Essef Corporation; and |
Ÿ |
higher sales volume in our pump and valve businesses due to increased demand. |
These increases in 2000 were somewhat offset by:
Ÿ |
unfavorable impacts of foreign currency translation. |
Enclosures
The 11.3 percent decline in Enclosures segment sales in 2001 was primarily due to:
Ÿ |
lower sales volume attributable to sharp declines in all enclosures markets, somewhat offset by increased sales due to the expansion in the number of Hoffman distributors; and
|

Table of Contents
Ÿ |
unfavorable impacts of foreign currency translation. |
The
18.3 percent increase in Enclosures segment sales in 2000 was primarily due to:
Ÿ |
higher sales volume due to strong demand for our products in the telecom and datacom markets and with industrial original equipment manufacturers.
|
The increase in 2000 was somewhat offset by:
Ÿ |
unfavorable impacts of foreign currency translation. Excluding the impacts of foreign currency translation, 2000 Enclosures segment sales increased by 22 percent over 1999.

Gross profit
Gross profit margin
excluding special items was 24.8 percent in 2001, compared with 25.6 percent in 2000, and 27.7 percent in 1999.
The 0.8 percentage point decline in
2001 from 2000 was primarily the result of:
Ÿ |
sharply lower sales volume and unfavorable product mix in our Enclosures segment, partially offset by improved gross margins in our Tools segment due to material price savings
and other cost reduction programs. |
The 2.1 percentage point decline in 2000 from 1999 was primarily the result of:
Ÿ |
lower sales volume for generators in our DAPC business; |
15
Table of Contents
Ÿ |
lower average selling prices due to price discounting to recover market share in our Porter-Cable/Delta business; |
Ÿ |
unfavorable product mix in our Tools and Enclosures segments; |
Ÿ |
unfavorable inventory variances, primarily in our Porter-Cable/Delta business; and |
Ÿ |
higher costs due to challenges encountered in the setup of our new inventory distribution center for our Porter-Cable/Delta business in January 2000.
|
SG&A and R&D
SG&A and R&D expenses excluding special items
was 17.2 percent of net sales in 2001, compared with 16.3 percent and 17.1 percent of net sales in 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The 0.9 percentage
point increase in 2001 from 2000 primarily stems from:
Ÿ |
an 11.3 percent decline in 2001 Enclosures segment sales, compared with only a 2.0 percent decrease in their SG&A and R&D expenses due to more restrictive short-term
opportunities for cost reductions, especially in Europe; and |
Ÿ |
investments to redefine and streamline company-wide business processes in the areas of supply chain management and lean enterprise, which we expect will improve our future
overall cost structure. |
The 0.8 percentage point decline in 2000 from 1999 primarily stems from:
Ÿ |
the Water and Enclosures sales growth in 2000 outpacing the growth in SG&A and increased R&D spending. |
This decline in 2000 was partially offset by:
Ÿ |
higher advertising and selling expenses in our Tools segment. |
Restructuring charge
1999 restructuring charge
To reduce costs and improve productivity, we initiated a
restructuring program in the first quarter of 1999 to consolidate manufacturing facilities, reduce overhead, and outsource certain product lines in our Tools and Enclosures segments. Related to this program, we recorded a restructuring charge of
$23.0 million. In the first quarter of 2000 we re-evaluated the status and progress of projects implemented in 1999 and recorded a change in estimate that reduced the restructuring charge by $8.5 million. In addition, new projects were identified
and we recorded an additional restructuring charge of $6.0 million related to our Enclosures segment for the closure of a North American facility and the non-cash write-off of impaired goodwill. In the fourth quarter of 2000, we recorded a final
change in estimate that increased the restructuring charge by $0.5 million. As of the end of 2000, this restructuring program was complete.
2000
restructuring charge
To reduce costs and improve productivity and accountability, we initiated a restructuring program in the fourth quarter of 2000 to decentralize corporate service
functions and reorganize our Tools segment infrastructure. As a result, we recorded a restructuring charge of $26.8 million. In the fourth quarter of 2001, we recorded a final change in estimate that reduced the restructuring charge by $1.7 million
primarily due to favorable negotiation of contract termination costs. As of the end of 2001, this restructuring program was complete.
2001
restructuring charge
In the fourth quarter of 2001, we initiated a restructuring program designed to consolidate manufacturing operations and eliminate non-critical support facilities in
our Enclosures segment. We also wrote off internal-use software development costs at corporate for the abandonment of a company-wide human resource system. Consequently, we recorded a restructuring charge of $42.8 million, of which $1.0 million is
included in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statement of income for the write-down of inventory on certain custom enclosures product that was discontinued as a result of plant closures.

Included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets is the unused portion of
the restructuring charge liability of $21.1 million. We expect to complete the remaining restructuring activities in 2002.
As a result of our 1999 and
2000 restructuring charge programs, we reduced our workforce by approximately 800 and 225 employees, respectively. Workforce reductions related to the 2001 restructuring charge are for approximately 720 employees, of whom 227 were terminated in the
fourth quarter of 2001. Employee termination benefits consist primarily of severance and outplacement counseling fees. Employee termination benefits for the 2001 restructuring charge includes a $0.4 million non-cash charge for the intrinsic value of
stock options modified as part of a severance agreement.
Non-cash asset disposals for the 1999, 2000, and 2001 restructuring charges were for the
write-down of equipment, leasehold improvements, and inventory (2001 only) as a direct result of our decisions to exit certain facilities and the abandonment of internal use software under development. Exit costs are primarily related to contract
and lease termination costs.

The 0.6 percentage point increase in Tools segment 2001 operating income margin excluding special items
was primarily due to:
Ÿ |
cost savings from our supply chain management and lean enterprise initiatives. |
This increase in 2001 was partially offset by:
Ÿ |
lower sales volume due to the weak economy; |
Ÿ |
lower average selling prices in the first nine months of the year, stemming from the mid-2000 price discounting activities, offset by an increase in realized selling prices in
the fourth quarter of 2001; |
Ÿ |
higher warranty costs; and |
Ÿ |
unfavorable pension costs due to lower returns on pension assets. |
The 6.7 percentage point decline in Tools segment 2000 operating income margin excluding special items was primarily due to:
Ÿ |
lower sales volume for generators and a change in product mix in our Porter-Cable/Delta business; and |
Ÿ |
lower average selling prices due to price discounting to recover market share. |

higher sales volume in our pool and spa equipment business as we increased our market share. |
The 0.8 percentage point increase in Water segment operating income margin in 2000 was primarily due to:

improved margins in the pool and spa equipment businesses acquired in August 1999; |

material cost savings as a result of supply management initiatives coupled with increased labor productivity. |
These increases in 2000 were partially offset by:

Other expense
In 2001, we incurred a non-cash charge of $3.0 million primarily for the write-off of our business-to-business e-commerce equity investment that we made in
early 2000.
Net interest expense
Net interest expense was $61.5 million in 2001,
compared with $74.9 million in 2000 and $43.6 million in 1999. The decline in 2001 net interest expense of $13.4 million reflects lower average borrowings driven by our strong cash flow performance in 2001, and lower interest rates on our variable
rate debt. The increase in net interest expense of $31.3 million in 2000 reflects higher borrowings as a result of our 1999 and 1998 acquisitions and higher average interest rates in 2000 compared with 1999.
Provision for income taxes
Our effective tax rate on continuing operations was 38.3 percent in 2001,
compared with 35.6 percent in 2000 and 38.0 percent in 1999. The 2.7 percentage point increase in the 2001 effective tax rate from 2000 was primarily the result of non-deductible amounts related to the 2001 restructuring charge and non-deductible
amortization of goodwill, somewhat offset by favorable foreign tax effects. The effective tax rate on continuing operations excluding the 2001 restructuring charge was 35.0 percent. The 2.4 percentage point decline in the 2000 effective tax rate
from 1999 was primarily due to the implementation of additional tax-planning strategies, somewhat offset by an increase in non-deductible amortization of goodwill resulting from our 1999 acquisitions.
We expect our effective tax rate on continuing operations to be 32.0 percent in 2002, primarily the result of adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS
142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this new accounting standard will result in the cessation of goodwill amortization, much of which was non-deductible.
Discontinued operations
In December 2000, we adopted a plan to sell our Equipment segment businesses,
Service Equipment (Century Mfg Co./Lincoln Automotive Company) and Lincoln Industrial, Inc (Lincoln Industrial). In October 2001, we completed the sale of the Service Equipment businesses to Clore Automotive, LLC and in December 2001, we completed
the sale of Lincoln Industrial to affiliates of The Jordan Company LLC, other investors, and members of management of Lincoln Industrial.

As part
of the sale of Lincoln Industrial, we received 37,500 shares of 5% Series C Junior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock convertible into a 15 percent equity interest in the new organization — LN Holdings Corporation. The preferred stock has a
$37.5 million face value, but has been recorded at $18.4 million, which represents the estimated fair value of the preferred stock based on an independent valuation. The selling price of Lincoln Industrial is subject to a final purchase price
adjustment based on determination of audited net assets, which we expect to occur in the first half of 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
To fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, repurchase shares, and pay dividends, committed revolving credit facilities are used to complement operating cash flows. We have also accessed the public debt and equity
markets in the past three years to fund acquisitions. Because of the seasonality of some of our businesses, particularly the pool and spa equipment business and the tools business, we have generally experienced negative cash flows from operations in
the first half of any given year. However, we expect a more positive cash flow trend as a result of our emphasis on working capital management.
The
following table presents selected annual measures of our liquidity calculated from our monthly operating results:

Operating activities
Operating
activities provided $232.3 million in 2001, compared with $184.9 million in 2000, and $144.3 million in 1999. The $47.4 million increase in 2001 was primarily due to an emphasis on better management of accounts receivable and inventories, somewhat
offset by the decrease in accounts payable and the decline in net income. The $40.6 million increase in 2000 was also attributable to our increased emphasis on working capital management, somewhat offset by the decline in earnings. We expect to
increase cash provided by operating activities in 2002 through higher earnings and our continued emphasis on working capital management.
Investing
activities
Capital expenditures in 2001, 2000, and 1999 were $53.7 million, $68.0 million, and $53.7 million, respectively. The $14.3 million decrease in 2001 over 2000 reflects lower
capital expenditures due to reduced needs for capacity and our lean enterprise initiatives and the $14.3 million increase in 2000 over 1999 reflects increased investments, largely as a result of acquisitions. Capital expenditures as a percent of
sales were 2.1 percent, 2.5 percent, and 2.5 percent for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. We anticipate capital expenditures in 2002 to be around $50.0 million as we expect to more aggressively expand our lean enterprise initiatives.
In the first quarter of 2001, we acquired Taunus, a Brazilian enclosures manufacturer, for $6.9 million. The acquisition was financed through borrowings
under our credit facilities. In the second quarter of 2001, we received $5.0 million for the settlement of a purchase price dispute related to a 1999 acquisition. The amount received was accounted for as a reduction of goodwill.
In 2001, we invested $5.0 million ($3.0 million in the second quarter and $2.0 million in the fourth quarter) to take a minority equity interest in a privately held
developer and manufacturer of laser leveling and measuring devices. We are also investing approximately $24.9 million to take a 40 percent interest in certain joint venture operations of an Asian supplier for bench and portable tools, of which $20.4
million has been paid. We hold an option to increase our ownership interest in these joint ventures to as much as 100 percent.
In 1999, we acquired
DeVilbiss Air Power Company, the pressure vessel and pool and spa equipment businesses of Essef Corporation, and WEB Tool & Manufacturing, Inc. for $953.1 million. These acquisitions were primarily financed through an equity offering and the
issuance of additional debt.
We periodically review our array of businesses in comparison to our overall strategic and performance objectives. As part
of this review, we routinely acquire or divest of certain businesses. During 2002, we anticipate that any acquisitions completed will be funded through a combination of cash generated from operations and external funding sources or the issuance of
stock.

Table of Contents
Financing activities
As of the end of 2001, our
capital structure consisted of $723.7 million in long-term debt and $1,015.0 million in shareholders’ equity. The ratio of debt-to-total capital was 41.6 percent, compared with 47.5 percent as of the end of 2000. Our targeted debt-to-total
capital ratio range is 30 to 40 percent. We will exceed this target from time to time as needed for operational purposes and/or acquisitions.
As a
result of the 2001 restructuring charge, we expect future remaining cash outlays of approximately $21.1 million in 2002. We expect to fund these outlays from existing cash balances and internally generated cash flows from operations.

Long-term debt and lines of credit are explained in detail in ITEM 8, Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements. Operating leases are explained in detail in ITEM 8, Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have committed
revolving credit facilities totaling $705 million (the Facilities), consisting of a $315 million 364-day facility that expires on August 29, 2002, and $390 million of multi-currency facilities that expire on September 2, 2004. There were no amounts
outstanding under the 364-day facility at December 31, 2001.
As of the end of 2001, we had $329.0 million outstanding under the Facilities. Interest
rates and fees on the Facilities vary based on our debt ratings by credit rating agencies. Aggregate borrowings on the Facilities had a weighted-average interest rate of 5.52 percent in 2001 and 6.71 percent in 2000. In addition to the Facilities,
we have $40.0 million of uncommitted credit facilities, under which we had no borrowings as of the end of 2001.
Our debt agreements contain certain
financial covenants that restrict the amount paid for dividends and certain other payments, and require us to maintain certain financial ratios and a minimum net worth. Under the most restrictive covenant, $101.4 million of retained earnings were
restricted as of the end of 2001. We are in compliance with all covenants.
As of the end of 2001, we had $7.2 million of letters of credit outstanding.
These letters of credit secure our performance to third parties under self-insurance programs and other commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Dividends paid in 2001 were $34.3 million, compared with $32.0 million in 2000, and $28.2 million in 1999. The year-over-year increases reflect an increase in our annual per-share dividend rate of $0.70 in 2001, compared with $0.66 in 2000,
and $0.64 in 1999. We have paid dividends for the past twenty-six years and anticipate paying future dividends.
In addition to measuring our cash flow
generation or usage based upon operating, investing, and financing classifications included in the consolidated statements of cash flows, we also measure our free cash flow. We define free cash flow as cash flow from operating activities less
capital expenditures, including both continuing and discontinued operations. We generated free cash flow of $178.7 million in 2001, compared with
22
Table of Contents
$116.9 million in 2000, and $90.6 million in 1999. We intend to increase our free cash flow in 2002 through higher earnings and continuing to reduce working capital. Our management incentive
plans include a component that emphasizes free cash flow.
We believe cash generated from operating activities, together with credit available under
committed and uncommitted facilities and our current cash position will provide adequate short-term and long-term liquidity.
Off-balance sheet
financing
We are a party to a synthetic leasing arrangement for a distribution center and office building in our Tools segment. The lease is designed and qualifies as an operating
lease for accounting purposes, where only the monthly lease amount is recorded in the statement of income and the value of the underlying asset and related debt is off-balance sheet. The value of this off-balance sheet financing arrangement is
approximately $23.0 million and the agreement terminates in December 2004.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental
We have been named as defendants, targets or potentially responsible parties (PRPs) in a
small number of environmental cleanups, in which our current or former business units have generally been given deminimis status. To date, none of these claims have resulted in cleanup costs, fines, penalties, or damages in an amount
material to our financial condition or results of operations. We have disposed of a number of businesses over the past ten years and in certain cases, such as the disposition of the Lake Superior Paper Industries supercalendared paper business and
the Cross Pointe Paper Corporation uncoated paper business in 1995 and the disposition of the Federal Cartridge Company ammunition business in 1997, we have retained responsibility and potential liability for certain environmental obligations. We
have received claims for indemnification from purchasers of both the paper business and the ammunition business. We have established what we believe to be adequate accruals for potential liabilities arising out of retained responsibilities.
In addition, there are pending environmental issues concerning a limited number of sites including sites in Jackson, Tennessee, and Los Angeles,
California. We acquired the site in Jackson from Rockwell International Corporation, with whom we have agreed on division of responsibility for remediation and other future costs relating to the site. The site in Los Angeles was acquired in the
purchase of the pressure vessel and pool and spa equipment businesses of Essef Corporation and relates to operations no longer carried out at that site. We have established what we believe to be adequate accruals for remediation costs. We do not
believe that projected response costs will result in a material liability.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141 (SFAS 141), Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. All of the our acquisitions in recent years were accounted for under the purchase method. The new
standard had no impact on Pentair in 2001. SFAS 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and certain other intangible assets from an amortization method to an impairment only approach. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS 142 effective January 1,
2002. Had SFAS 142 been in effect for 2001, net income would have been $32.0 million ($36.1 million pre-tax) or $0.65 per share higher. The standard also requires a reassessment of the useful lives of identifiable intangible assets other than
goodwill and a test for impairment of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives annually, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We expect to complete this assessment in the
first half of 2002.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 (SFAS 143), Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which is effective
January 1, 2003. SFAS 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effect
23
Table of Contents
the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In September 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived assets. While SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, it retains many of the fundamental provisions of that statement. We will adopt
SFAS 144 on January 1, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material effect on our historical consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Market risk
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates and prices of raw materials and sourced components. Market risk is the potential
loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We use derivative financial instruments to manage and reduce the impact of some of these risks. We do not hold or issue
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Interest rate risk
We are
exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities used to fund operations. We utilize committed floating rate credit facilities to fund a portion of our operations. Interest rates on $74.5 million of floating
rate debt are swapped to fixed rates through agreements with financial institutions. The table below summarizes our floating and fixed rate debt obligations and interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2001 along with interest rates for the
swapped portion and fair value of the swap agreement. The average variable rates depicted below for the interest rate swaps are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at December 31, 2001.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Pentair, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Pentair, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2001. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14. These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on the financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents
fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Fiscal |
year |
Our fiscal year ends on December 31. Additionally, we report our interim
quarterly periods on a 13-week basis ending on a Saturday.
Principles |
of consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Pentair, and all significant subsidiaries, both U.S. and non-U.S., that we control. In substantially all cases, we own 100 percent of the voting stock of the subsidiaries that we control. Investments in companies of which we own 20
percent to 50 percent of the voting stock and have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and, as a result, our share of the
earnings or losses of such equity affiliates is included in the statement of income. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2001 presentation.
Use |
of estimates |
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash |
equivalents |
We consider highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue |
recognition, sales returns and warranty costs |
We recognize revenue when the earnings
process is complete, and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Provisions for sales returns and warranty costs are recorded at the time of sale based on historical information and current trends.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB
101), which among other guidance, clarified the Staff’s views on various revenue recognition and reporting matters. In the fourth quarter of 2000, we changed our method of accounting for certain sales transactions to comply with SAB 101. As a
result of this change, we reported a change in accounting principle in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 (APB 20), Accounting Changes, by a cumulative effect adjustment. Because we are a calendar year entity that
adopted SAB 101 in the fourth quarter of 2000, the cumulative effect of the change was included in the first quarter of 2000 pursuant to APB 20, which requires that the change be made as of the beginning of the year (January 1, 2000) and that the
financial information for pre-change interim periods be restated by applying SAB 101 to those periods. Accordingly, the quarterly results for 2000 were restated pursuant to the adoption of SAB 101.
Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventories of domestic subsidiaries are
generally determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Inventories of foreign subsidiaries are determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) and moving average methods. Reserves to adjust slow moving and obsolete inventories to lower of cost
or market are provided based on historical experience and current product demand. We regularly evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.

Property, |
plant, and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. We compute
depreciation principally by the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
| Years | ||
| Land improvements |
5 to 20 | |
| Buildings and leasehold improvements |
5 to 50 | |
| Machinery and equipment |
3 to 15 |
Significant improvements that add to productive capacity or extend the lives of properties are
capitalized. Costs for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are
included in income.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the
net tangible and identified intangible assets of acquired businesses, is stated at cost, and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated future periods to be benefited, ranging from 25 to 40 years. Upon the adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002, goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will be evaluated annually for impairment. Accumulated amortization as of the end of
2001 and 2000 was $147.4 million and $114.4 million, respectively.
Impairment of long-lived assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets and any related goodwill, the carrying value is reduced to the estimated fair value as measured by the discounted cash flow method. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of
are based upon estimated selling prices adjusted for the cost to sell.
Income |
taxes |
Deferred taxes are recognized for the estimated taxes ultimately payable
or recoverable based on enacted tax law. Changes in enacted tax rates are reflected in the tax provision as they occur.
Foreign |
currency translation |
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are
translated at the current exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, and income statement amounts are translated at the average monthly exchange rate. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded in
comprehensive income.
Stock-based compensation
In accordance with SFAS No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), we elected to account for our stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25).
The exercise price of stock options equals the market price on the date of grant. In general, there is no recorded compensation expense related to stock
options.
Insurance subsidiary
We insure general and product liability,
product recall, workers’ compensation, and automobile liability risks through our wholly owned insurance subsidiary. Reserves for policy claims are established based on actuarial projections of ultimate losses. As of the end of 2001 and 2000,
reserves for policy claims were $23.4 million

($10.0 million included in accrued product claims and warranties and $13.4 million included in other noncurrent liabilities) and $26.2 million ($10.0 million included in accrued
product claims and warranties and $16.2 million included in other noncurrent liabilities).
Derivative financial instruments
Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. These standards
require us to recognize all derivatives, including those embedded in other contracts, as either assets or liabilities at fair value in our balance sheet. If the derivative is designated as a fair-value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the
derivative and the hedged item is recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated and is effective as a cash-flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) and is recognized in the
consolidated statements of income when the hedged item affects earnings. SFAS 133 defines new requirements for designation and documentation of hedging relationships as well as ongoing effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting. For
a derivative that is not designated as or does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are reported in earnings immediately.
The adoption of SFAS
133 on January 1, 2001, resulted in an increase to other assets and other noncurrent liabilities of $7.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and a cumulative transition adjustment of $6.7 million in OCI. The transition adjustment relates to our
hedging activities through December 31, 2000. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 133, financial instruments designated as hedges were not recorded in the financial statements, but cash flows from such contracts were recorded as adjustments to earnings as
the hedged items affected earnings.
We use derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging interest rate and currency exposures, which exist
as part of ongoing business operations. All hedging instruments are designated and effective as hedges, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 133. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All
other contracts that contain provisions meeting the definition of a derivative also meet the requirements of, and have been designated as, normal purchases or sales. Our policy is to not enter into contracts with terms that cannot be designated as
normal purchases or sales.
Earnings |
per common share |
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income
by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effects of stock options, restricted
stock, and assumed conversion of preferred stock. Unless otherwise noted, references are to diluted earnings per share.

New accounting standards
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141 (SFAS 141), Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. All of the our acquisitions in recent years were accounted for under the purchase method. The new
standard had no impact on Pentair in 2001. SFAS 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and certain other intangible assets from an amortization method to an impairment only approach. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS 142 effective January 1,
2002. Had SFAS 142 been in effect for 2001, net income would have been $32.0 million ($36.1 million pre-tax) or $0.65 per share higher. The standard also requires a reassessment of the useful lives of identifiable intangible assets other than
goodwill and a test for impairment of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives annually, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We expect to complete this assessment in the
first half of 2002.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 (SFAS 143), Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which is effective
January 1, 2003. SFAS 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset
34

— (continued)
retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated results of
operations, financial position and cash flows.
In September 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed Of, it retains many of the fundamental provisions of that statement. We will adopt SFAS 144 on January 1, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material effect on our historical consolidated results of
operations, financial position and cash flows.

Restructuring Charge |
1999 restructuring
charge
To reduce costs and improve productivity, we initiated a restructuring program in the first quarter of 1999 to consolidate manufacturing facilities, reduce overhead, and outsource
certain product lines in our Tools and Enclosures segments. Related to this program, we recorded a restructuring charge of $23.0 million. In the first quarter of 2000 we re-evaluated the status and progress of projects implemented in 1999 and
recorded a change in estimate that reduced the restructuring charge by $8.5 million. In addition, new projects were identified and we recorded an additional restructuring charge of $6.0 million related to our Enclosures segment for the closure of a
North American facility and the non-cash write-off of impaired goodwill. In the fourth quarter of 2000, we recorded a final change in estimate that increased the restructuring charge by $0.5 million. As of the end of 2000, this restructuring program
was complete.
2000 restructuring charge
To reduce costs and improve productivity and
accountability, we initiated a restructuring program in the fourth quarter of 2000 to decentralize corporate service functions and reorganize our Tools segment infrastructure. As a result, we recorded a restructuring charge of $26.8 million. In the
fourth quarter of 2001, we recorded a final change in estimate that reduced the restructuring charge by $1.7 million primarily due to favorable negotiation of contract termination costs. As of the end of 2001, this restructuring program was
complete.
2001 restructuring charge
In the fourth quarter of 2001, we initiated a
restructuring program designed to consolidate manufacturing operations and eliminate non-critical support facilities in our Enclosures segment. We also wrote off internal-use software development costs at corporate for the abandonment of a
company-wide human resource system. Consequently, we recorded a restructuring charge of $42.8 million, of which $1.0 million is included in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statement of income for the write-down of inventory on certain
custom enclosures product that was discontinued as a result of plant closures.

Included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets is the unused portion of
the restructuring charge liability of $21.1 million. We expect to complete the remaining restructuring activities in 2002.
As a result of our 1999 and
2000 restructuring charge programs, we reduced our workforce by approximately 800 and 225 employees, respectively. Workforce reductions related to the 2001 restructuring charge are for approximately 720 employees, of whom 227 were terminated in the
fourth quarter of 2001. Employee termination benefits consist primarily of severance and outplacement counseling fees. Employee termination benefits for the 2001 restructuring charge includes a $0.4 million non-cash charge for the intrinsic value of
stock options modified as part of a severance agreement.
Non-cash asset disposals for the 1999, 2000, and 2001 restructuring charges were for the
write-down of equipment, leasehold improvements, and inventory (2001 only) as a direct result of our decisions to exit certain facilities and the abandonment of internal use software under development. Exit costs are primarily related to contract
and lease termination costs.

Discontinued Operations/Divestitures |
In
December 2000, we adopted a plan to sell our Equipment segment businesses, Service Equipment (Century Mfg Co./Lincoln Automotive Company) and Lincoln Industrial, Inc (Lincoln Industrial). In October 2001, we completed the sale of the Service
Equipment businesses to Clore Automotive, LLC and in December 2001, we completed the sale of Lincoln Industrial to affiliates of The Jordan Company LLC, other investors, and members of management of Lincoln Industrial.

As part
of the sale of Lincoln Industrial, we received 37,500 shares of 5% Series C Junior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock convertible into a 15 percent equity interest in the new organization — LN Holdings Corporation. The preferred stock has a
$37.5 million face value, but has been recorded at $18.4 million, which represents the estimated fair value of the preferred stock based on an independent valuation. The selling price of Lincoln Industrial is subject to a final purchase price
adjustment based on determination of audited net assets, which we expect to occur in the first half of 2002.
Our financial statements have been restated
to reflect the Equipment segment as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Operating results of the discontinued Equipment segment are summarized below. The amounts

Certain inventories are valued at LIFO. If all inventories were valued at FIFO as of the end of 2001 and

Equity method investments
We have invested approximately $24.9 million to take a 40 percent interest in certain joint venture operations of an Asian supplier for bench and portable tools, of which $20.4 million has been paid and $4.5 million
is included in other current liabilities. We hold an option to increase our ownership interest in these joint ventures to as much as 100 percent. Our portion of the earnings of these joint ventures is included in cost of goods
sold, however, was not material.
Cost method investments
As part of the sale
of Lincoln Industrial, we received 37,500 shares of 5% Series C Junior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock convertible into a 15 percent equity interest in the new organization — LN Holdings Corporation. The preferred stock has a $37.5
million face value, but has been recorded at $18.4 million, which represents the estimated fair value of the preferred stock based on an independent valuation.
In 2001, we invested $5.0 million ($3.0 million in the second quarter and $2.0 million in the fourth quarter) to take a minority equity interest in a privately held developer and manufacturer of laser leveling and measuring devices.

Debt |
Credit facilities
We have committed revolving credit facilities totaling $705 million (the Facilities), consisting of a $315 million 364-day facility that expires on August 29, 2002, and $390 million of
multi-currency facilities that expire on September 2, 2004. There were no amounts outstanding under the 364-day facility at December 31, 2001.
As of the
end of 2001, we had $329.0 million outstanding under the Facilities. Interest rates and fees on the Facilities vary based on our debt ratings by credit rating agencies. Aggregate borrowings on the Facilities had a weighted-average interest rate of
5.52 percent in 2001 and 6.71 percent in 2000. In addition to the Facilities, we have $40.0 million of uncommitted credit facilities, under which we had no borrowings as of the end of 2001.
Our debt agreements contain certain financial covenants that restrict the amount paid for dividends and certain other payments, and require us to maintain certain financial ratios and a minimum net worth.
Under the most restrictive covenant, $101.4 million of retained earnings were restricted as of the end of 2001. We are in compliance with all covenants.
We have not accessed the commercial paper markets since the credit rating agencies lowered our commercial paper ratings during 2001.

Derivative and Financial Instruments |
Cash-flow hedges
We have entered into interest rate swap agreements with a major financial institution to exchange variable rate interest payment obligations for fixed
rate obligations without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts in order to manage interest rate exposures. As of the end of 2001, we had swap agreements outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $74.5 million that expire in various
amounts through June 2005. The swap agreements have a fixed interest rate of 6.31 percent.
We have entered into foreign currency swap agreements with a
major financial institution to hedge firm foreign currency commitments. The currency swap agreements mature on October 1, 2003. The notional amounts were $100.0 million in both 2001 and 2000. The currency swaps have terms that match the hedged
exposure, thus no ineffectiveness is recorded.
The interest rate and currency swaps are designated as and are effective cash-flow hedges. The fair
values of the swaps are recorded on the balance sheet, with changes in fair values included in other comprehensive income (OCI). The ineffective portion of the hedge is not material to the financial statements. Derivative gains and losses included
in OCI are reclassified into earnings at the time the related interest expense is recognized or the settlement of the related commitment occurs. We estimate $0.5 million of net derivative losses will be reclassified into earnings in 2002. No hedging
relationships were de-designated during 2001.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instrument:
Ÿ |
short-term financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable, and short-term borrowings) — recorded amount
approximates fair value because of the short maturity period; |
Ÿ |
long-term debt, including current maturities — fair value is based on market quotes available for issuance of debt with similar terms; |
Ÿ |
interest rate swap agreements — fair value is based on market or dealer quotes; and |
Ÿ |
currency swap — fair value is based on market or dealer quotes. |

Deferred taxes arise because of different treatment between financial statement accounting and tax
accounting, known as “temporary differences.” We record the tax effect of these temporary differences as “deferred tax assets” (generally items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future periods) and “deferred
tax liabilities” (generally items that we received a tax deduction for, but not yet been recorded in the consolidated statements of income).
The
tax effects of the major items recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities are:

The determination of annual income tax expense takes into consideration amounts, which may be needed to
cover exposures for open tax years. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has examined our U.S. federal income tax returns through 1997, and we have paid all tax claims. In addition, Essef Corporation tax years 1995 through 1997 are currently under
examination. We do not expect any material impact on earnings to result from the resolution of matters related to open tax years, however, actual settlements may differ from amounts accrued.

Benefit Plans |
Pension |
and post-retirement benefits |
We have various non-contributory defined-benefit pension
plans that cover nearly all U.S. employees and many employees outside the United States. Pension benefits are based principally on an employee’s years of service and/or compensation levels near retirement. Our pension funding policy is to
deposit with independent trustees amounts as required by applicable law. In addition, we also provide certain post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits for nearly all retirees. Generally, the post-retirement health care and life
insurance plans require contributions from retirees.

Plan assets consist primarily of listed stocks and bonds as well as cash and short-term investments. Our
common stock accounted for approximately 11 percent and 7 percent of plan assets as of the end of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The majority of the underfunding relates to foreign pension plans and our supplemental executive retirement plan which are
not commonly funded.

Savings plan
We have a 401(k) plan (the plan) with an employee stock
ownership (ESOP) bonus component, which covers certain union and nearly all-nonunion U.S. employees who meet certain age requirements. Under the plan, eligible U.S. employees may voluntarily contribute a percentage of their eligible compensation.
Matching contributions are made in cash to employees who meet certain eligibility and service requirements. Our matching contribution is based on our financial performance and ranges from 30 percent to 90 percent of eligible employee contributions,
limited to 4 percent of compensation contributed by employees.
In addition to the matching contribution, all employees who meet certain service
requirements receive a discretionary ESOP contribution equal to 1.5 percent of annual eligible compensation.
Our combined contributions to the 401(k)
and ESOP were $9.8 million, $11.9 million, and $9.2 million in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

12. Shareholders’ |
Equity |
Authorized shares
We may issue up to 250 million shares of common stock. Our Board of Directors may designate up to 15 million of those shares as preferred stock.
Common share purchase rights
We have a ten-year Share Rights Agreement dated July 31, 1995. Under this agreement, each outstanding
share of our common stock has one common share purchase right attached to it and entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock, currently at a price of $80 per share, subject to adjustment. However, these rights are not exercisable
unless certain change-in-control events transpire, such as a person acquiring or obtaining the right to acquire beneficial ownership of 15 percent or more of our outstanding common stock.
The rights are redeemable by us for $0.01 per right until ten business days after certain defined change-in-control events transpire, or at any time prior to the expiration of the rights.
Share repurchases
In December 2001, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
400,000 shares of our common stock in open market or negotiated transactions to partially offset dilution due to normal grants of restricted shares and options to employees. No shares have been purchased pursuant to this authority. In 2001 and 2000,
respectively, we repurchased 50,000 and 13,700 shares of our common stock under similar plans.
13. |
Stock Plans |
Omnibus stock incentive plan
In April 2001, the Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan as Amended and Restated (the Plan) was approved. The Plan authorizes the issuance of additional shares of our common stock and extends
through February 2006. The Plan allows for the granting of:
| • nonqualified stock options; |
• incentive compensation units (ICUs); | |
| • incentive stock options; |
• stock appreciation rights; | |
| • restricted stock; |
• performance shares; and | |
| • rights to restricted stock; |
• performance units. |
The Plan is administered by our Compensation and Human Resources Committee (the Committee), which is made
up of members of our Board of Directors. Employees eligible to receive awards under the Plan are managerial, administrative, or other key employees who are in a position to make a material contribution to the continued profitable growth and
long-term success of Pentair. The Committee has the authority to select the recipients of awards, determine the type and size of awards, establish certain terms and conditions of award grants, and take certain other actions as permitted under the
Plan. The Plan provides that no more than 20 percent of the total shares available for issuance under the Plan may be used to make awards other than stock options and limits the Committee’s authority to reprice awards or to cancel and reissue
awards at lower prices.
Incentive stock options
Under the Plan we may grant stock options to any eligible employee with an exercise price equal to the market value of the shares on the dates the options were granted. Options generally vest over a three-year period
commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date and expire ten years after the grant date.
Restricted stock, rights
to restricted stock and ICUs
Under the Plan, eligible employees are awarded restricted shares or rights to restricted shares (awards) of our common stock and
ICUs. Restrictions on awards and ICUs generally expire from three to five years
46
Table of Contents

Notes to consolidated financial statements
— (continued)
after issuance, subject to continuous employment and certain other conditions. Restricted stock awards are recorded at market value on the date of the grant as unearned compensation. Unearned
compensation is shown as a reduction of shareholders’ equity in our consolidated financial statements and is being amortized to expense over the restriction period. The value of ICUs is based on a matrix, which takes into account growth in
operating income and return on invested capital. Annual expense for the value of restricted stock and ICUs was $5.8 million in 2001, $0.1 million in 2000 and $7.3 million in 1999.
Outside directors nonqualified stock option plan
Nonqualified stock options are granted to outside directors under the Outside Directors
Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the Directors Plan) with an exercise price equal to 100 percent of the market value of the shares on the dates the options were granted. Options generally vest over a three-year period commencing on the first
anniversary of the grant date and expire ten years after the grant date. The Directors Plan extends to January 2008.

The weighted-average fair value of options granted in 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $7.17, $10.93, and $12.20
per option, respectively. We estimated the fair values using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, modified for dividends and using the following assumptions:

The expected life was determined separately for each plan due to varying exercise patterns. The fair value
of options is amortized to expense over a three-year option-vesting period in determining the pro forma impact.

Net sales are based on the location in which the sale originated. Long-lived assets include property,
plant and equipment, and goodwill, net of related depreciation and amortization.
We sell our products through various distribution channels including
home centers and retail chains. In 2001 and 2000, sales to The Home Depot, a major customer of our Tools segment, accounted for approximately 12.8 percent and 10.5 percent of total net sales, respectively. In addition, three customers
accounted for about 58 percent of our Tools segment net sales in both 2001 and 2000, and two customers accounted for about 18 percent and 9 percent of our Water segment net sales in 2001 and 2000, respectively. If these customers were lost, it
would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Environmental
We have been named as
defendants, targets or potentially responsible parties (PRPs) in a small number of environmental cleanups, in which our current or former business units have generally been given deminimis status. To date, none of these claims have
resulted in cleanup costs, fines, penalties, or damages in an amount material to our financial condition or results of operations. We have disposed of a number of businesses over the past ten years and in certain cases, such as the disposition of
the Lake Superior Paper Industries supercalendared paper business and the Cross Pointe Paper Corporation uncoated paper business in 1995 and the disposition of

— (continued)
the Federal Cartridge Company ammunition business in 1997, we have retained responsibility and potential liability for certain environmental obligations. We have received claims for
indemnification from purchasers of both the paper business and the ammunition business. We have established what we believe to be adequate accruals for potential liabilities arising out of retained responsibilities.
In addition, there are pending environmental issues concerning a limited number of sites including sites in Jackson, Tennessee, and Los Angeles, California. We acquired the site
in Jackson from Rockwell International Corporation, with whom we have agreed on division of responsibility for remediation and other future costs relating to the site. The site in Los Angeles was acquired in the purchase of the pressure vessel and
pool and spa equipment businesses of Essef Corporation and relates to operations no longer carried out at that site. We have established what we believe to be adequate accruals for remediation costs. We do not believe that projected response costs
will result in a material liability.
Litigation
We are
occasionally a party to litigation arising in the normal course of business. We regularly analyze current information and, as necessary, provide accruals for probable liabilities based on the expected eventual disposition of these matters. We
believe the effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position, if any, for the disposition of all currently pending matters will not be material.
