Recent Developments
As part of our strategy to grow our core businesses, we have recently taken the following actions:
Strategic Business Re-Alignment:
We realigned our organization at the beginning of fiscal year 2013, to allow us to implement our strategy and propel our vision to improve global health by innovating technologies that help make healthcare more effective, affordable and accessible around the world. Our Informatics business, as well as our field service on products previously sold by our former Bio-discovery business, were moved from our Environmental Health segment into our Human Health segment. The results reported for fiscal year 2013 reflect this new alignment of our operating segments. Financial information relating to fiscal years 2012 and 2011 has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the changes to the operating segments.
Acquisitions in fiscal year 2013:
We completed the acquisition of four businesses for total consideration of $11.4 million, in cash. As of the closing dates, we potentially had to pay additional contingent consideration for the four acquired businesses of up to $2.2 million, which at closing had an estimated fair value of $1.1 million. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of each of the acquired businesses' net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to us, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, none of which is tax deductible. We reported the operations for these acquisitions within the results of our operations from the acquisition dates.
Restructuring:
During fiscal year 2013, we recorded a $23.7 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space, and recognized a $12.0 million
pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. Our management approved these plans principally to shift certain of our research and development resources into a newly opened Center for Innovation, to shift certain of our operations into a newly established shared service center, to realign operations, research and development resources and production resources as a result of previous acquisitions and to focus resources on higher growth end markets. We also recorded a pre-tax restructuring reversal of $1.5 million primarily related to lower than expected costs primarily related to workforce reductions within our Human Health segment, as well as a reversal of $1.0 million primarily related to lower than expected costs associated with workforce reductions within our Environmental Health segment. During fiscal year 2013, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $0.7 million primarily as a result of terminating various contractual commitments in connection with certain disposal activities in our Environmental Health segment. The pre-tax restructuring activity associated with these plans has been reported as restructuring and contract termination charges and is included as a component of operating expenses from continuing operations. We expect the impact of future cost savings on operating results and cash flows from restructuring activities executed in fiscal year 2013 will exceed $9.0 million annually beginning in fiscal year 2015, primarily as decreases to cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses.
As part of our ongoing business strategy, we also took the following actions:
Redemption of 6% Senior Unsecured Notes Due in 2015:
In December 2013, we redeemed all of our 6% senior unsecured notes due in 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) for a redemption price that included the outstanding principal amount of $150.0 million and a prepayment premium of $11.1 million, which is included in other expense, net. The transaction also resulted in the write-off of $2.8 million for the remaining unamortized derivative losses for previously settled cash flow hedges and the write-off of $0.2 million for the remaining deferred debt issuance costs. Both of these amounts are included in interest expense.
Share Repurchase Program:
On October 24, 2012, our Board of Directors (our "Board") authorized us to repurchase up to 6.0 million shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"). The Repurchase Program will expire on October 24, 2014 unless terminated earlier by our Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During fiscal year 2013, we repurchased approximately 3.6 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $123.0 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. As of December 29, 2013, approximately 2.4 million shares authorized by our Board under the Repurchase Program remained available for repurchase.
Business Segments and Products
We report our business in two segments: Human Health and Environmental Health. We performed our annual impairment testing on January 1, 2013, the annual impairment date for our reporting units, and based on the first step of the impairment process (the comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value), we concluded that there was no goodwill impairment.
We realigned our organization at the beginning of fiscal year 2013, to allow us to implement our strategy and propel our vision to improve global health by innovating technologies that help make healthcare more effective, affordable and accessible around the world. Our Informatics business, as well as our field service on products previously sold by our former Bio-discovery business, were moved from our Environmental Health segment into our Human Health segment. The results reported for fiscal year 2013 reflect this new alignment of our operating segments. Financial information relating to fiscal years 2012 and 2011 has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the changes to the operating segments.

Marketing
All of our businesses market their products and services primarily through their own specialized sales forces. As of December 29, 2013, we employed approximately 3,600 sales and service representatives operating in approximately 35 countries and marketing products and services in more than 150 countries. In geographic regions where we do not have a sales and service presence, we utilize distributors to sell our products.
Raw Materials, Key Components and Supplies
Each of our businesses uses a wide variety of raw materials, key components and supplies that are generally available from alternate sources of supply and in adequate quantities from domestic and foreign sources. We generally have multi-year contracts, with no minimum purchase requirements, with certain of our suppliers. For certain critical raw materials, key components and supplies required for the production of some of our principal products, we have qualified only a limited or a single source of supply. We periodically purchase quantities of some of these critical raw materials in excess of current requirements, in anticipation of future manufacturing needs. With sufficient lead times, we believe we would be able to qualify alternative suppliers for each of these raw materials and key components. See the applicable risk factor in “
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
The following important factors affect our business and operations generally or affect multiple segments of our business and operations:
If the markets into which we sell our products decline or do not grow as anticipated due to a decline in general economic conditions, or there are uncertainties surrounding the approval of government or industrial funding proposals, or there are unfavorable changes in government regulations, we may see an adverse effect on the results of our business operations.
Our customers include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, laboratories, academic and research institutions, public health authorities, private healthcare organizations, doctors and government agencies. Our quarterly revenue and results of operations are highly dependent on the volume and timing of orders received during the quarter. In addition, our revenues and earnings forecasts for future quarters are often based on the expected trends in our markets. However, the markets we serve do not always experience the trends that we may expect. Negative fluctuations in our customers’ markets, the inability of our customers to secure credit or funding, restrictions in capital expenditures, general economic conditions, cuts in government funding or unfavorable changes in government regulations would likely result in a reduction in demand for our products and services. In addition, government funding is subject to economic conditions and the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. Our revenues may be adversely affected if our customers delay or reduce purchases as a result of uncertainties surrounding the approval of government or industrial funding proposals. Such declines could harm our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and trading price of our common stock, and could limit our ability to sustain profitability.
Our growth is subject to global economic and political conditions, and operational disruptions at our facilities.
Our business is affected by global economic conditions and the state of the financial markets, particularly as the United States and other countries balance concerns around debt, inflation, growth and budget allocations in their policy initiatives. There can be no assurance that global economic conditions and financial markets will not worsen and that we will not experience any adverse effects that may be material to our consolidated cash flows, results of operations, financial position or our ability to access capital, such as the adverse effects resulting from a prolonged shutdown in government operations both in the United States and internationally. Our business is also affected by local economic environments, including inflation, recession, financial liquidity and currency volatility or devaluation. Political changes, some of which may be disruptive, could interfere with our supply chain, our customers and all of our activities in a particular location.
While we take precautions to prevent production or service interruptions at our global facilities, a major earthquake, fire, flood, power loss or other catastrophic event that results in the destruction or delay of any of our critical business operations
could result in our incurring significant liability to customers or other third parties, cause significant reputational damage or have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
Certain of these risks can be hedged to a limited degree using financial instruments, or other measures, and some of these risks are insurable, but any such mitigation efforts are costly and may not always be fully successful. Our ability to engage in such mitigation efforts has decreased or become even more costly as a result of recent market developments.
If we do not introduce new products in a timely manner, we may lose market share and be unable to achieve revenue growth targets.
We sell many of our products in industries characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions, and evolving customer needs and industry standards. Many of the businesses competing with us in these industries have significant financial and other resources to invest in new technologies, substantial intellectual property portfolios, substantial experience in new product development, regulatory expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and established distribution channels to deliver products to customers. Our products could become technologically obsolete over time, or we may invest in technology that does not lead to revenue growth or continue to sell products for which the demand from our customers is declining, in which case we may lose market share or not achieve our revenue growth targets. The success of our new product offerings will depend upon several factors, including our ability to:
•
accurately anticipate customer needs,
•
innovate and develop new technologies and applications,
•
successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner,
•
price our products competitively, and manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volumes and on time, and
•
differentiate our offerings from our competitors’ offerings.
Many of our products are used by our customers to develop, test and manufacture their products. We must anticipate industry trends and consistently develop new products to meet our customers’ expectations. In developing new products, we may be required to make significant investments before we can determine the commercial viability of the new product. If we fail to accurately foresee our customers’ needs and future activities, we may invest heavily in research and development of products that do not lead to significant revenue. We may also suffer a loss in market share and potential revenue if we are unable to commercialize our technology in a timely and efficient manner.
In addition, some of our licensed technology is subject to contractual restrictions, which may limit our ability to develop or commercialize products for some applications.
We may not be able to successfully execute acquisitions or license technologies, integrate acquired businesses or licensed technologies into our existing businesses, make acquired businesses or licensed technologies profitable, or successfully divest businesses.
We have in the past supplemented, and may in the future supplement, our internal growth by acquiring businesses and licensing technologies that complement or augment our existing product lines, such as our acquisition of Shanghai Haoyuan Biotech Co., Ltd. ("Haoyuan") in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. However, we may be unable to identify or complete promising acquisitions or license transactions for many reasons, such as:
•
competition among buyers and licensees,
•
the high valuations of businesses and technologies,
•
the need for regulatory and other approval, and
•
our inability to raise capital to fund these acquisitions.
Some of the businesses we acquire may be unprofitable or marginally profitable, or may increase the variability of our revenue recognition. Accordingly, the earnings or losses of acquired businesses may dilute our earnings. For these acquired businesses to achieve acceptable levels of profitability, we would have to improve their management, operations, products and market penetration. We may not be successful in this regard and may encounter other difficulties in integrating acquired businesses into our existing operations, such as incompatible management, information or other systems, cultural differences, loss of key personnel, unforeseen regulatory requirements, previously undisclosed liabilities or difficulties in predicting financial results. Additionally, if we are not successful in selling businesses we seek to divest, the activity of such businesses may dilute our earnings and we may not be able to achieve the expected benefits of such divestitures. As a result, our financial results may differ from our forecasts or the expectations of the investment community in a given quarter or over the long term.
To finance our acquisitions, we may have to raise additional funds, either through public or private financings. We may be unable to obtain such funds or may be able to do so only on terms unacceptable to us. We may also incur expenses related to completing acquisitions or licensing technologies, or in evaluating potential acquisitions or technologies, which may adversely impact our profitability.
We may not be successful in adequately protecting our intellectual property.
Patent and trade secret protection is important to us because developing new products, processes and technologies gives us a competitive advantage, although it is time-consuming and expensive. We own many United States and foreign patents and intend to apply for additional patents. Patent applications we file, however, may not result in issued patents or, if they do, the claims allowed in the patents may be narrower than what is needed to protect fully our products, processes and technologies. The expiration of our previously issued patents may cause us to lose a competitive advantage in certain of the products and services we provide. Similarly, applications to register our trademarks may not be granted in all countries in which they are filed. For our intellectual property that is protected by keeping it secret, such as trade secrets and know-how, we may not use adequate measures to protect this intellectual property.
Third parties may also challenge the validity of our issued patents, may circumvent or “design around” our patents and patent applications, or may claim that our products, processes or technologies infringe their patents. In addition, third parties may assert that our product names infringe their trademarks. We may incur significant expense in legal proceedings to protect our intellectual property against infringement by third parties or to defend against claims of infringement by third parties. Claims by third parties in pending or future lawsuits could result in awards of substantial damages against us or court orders that could effectively prevent us from manufacturing, using, importing or selling our products in the United States or other countries.
If we are unable to renew our licenses or otherwise lose our licensed rights, we may have to stop selling products or we may lose competitive advantage.
We may not be able to renew our existing licenses, or licenses we may obtain in the future, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we lose the rights to a patented or other proprietary technology, we may need to stop selling products incorporating that technology and possibly other products, redesign our products or lose a competitive advantage. Potential competitors could in-license technologies that we fail to license and potentially erode our market share.
Our licenses typically subject us to various economic and commercialization obligations. If we fail to comply with these obligations, we could lose important rights under a license, such as the right to exclusivity in a market. In some cases, we could lose all rights under the license. In addition, rights granted under the license could be lost for reasons out of our control. For example, the licensor could lose patent protection for a number of reasons, including invalidity of the licensed patent, or a third-party could obtain a patent that curtails our freedom to operate under one or more licenses.
If we do not compete effectively, our business will be harmed.
We encounter aggressive competition from numerous competitors in many areas of our business. We may not be able to compete effectively with all of these competitors. To remain competitive, we must develop new products and periodically enhance our existing products. We anticipate that we may also have to adjust the prices of many of our products to stay competitive. In addition, new competitors, technologies or market trends may emerge to threaten or reduce the value of entire product lines.
Our quarterly operating results could be subject to significant fluctuation, and we may not be able to adjust our operations to effectively address changes we do not anticipate, which could increase the volatility of our stock price and potentially cause losses to our shareholders.
Given the nature of the markets in which we participate, we cannot reliably predict future revenue and profitability. Changes in competitive, market and economic conditions may require us to adjust our operations, and we may not be able to make those adjustments or make them quickly enough to adapt to changing conditions. A high proportion of our costs are fixed, due in part to our research and development and manufacturing costs. As a result, small declines in sales could disproportionately affect our operating results in a quarter. Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include:
•
demand for and market acceptance of our products,
•
competitive pressures resulting in lower selling prices,
•
changes in the level of economic activity in regions in which we do business,
•
changes in general economic conditions or government funding,
•
settlements of income tax audits,
•
expenses incurred in connection with claims related to environmental conditions at locations where we conduct or formerly conducted operations,
•
differing tax laws and changes in those laws, or changes in the countries in which we are subject to taxation,
•
changes in our effective tax rate,
•
changes in industries, such as pharmaceutical and biomedical,
•
changes in the portions of our revenue represented by our various products and customers,
•
our ability to introduce new products,
•
our competitors’ announcement or introduction of new products, services or technological innovations,
•
costs of raw materials, energy or supplies,
•
changes in healthcare or other reimbursement rates paid by government agencies and other third parties for certain of our products and services,
•
our ability to realize the benefit of ongoing productivity initiatives,
•
changes in the volume or timing of product orders,
•
fluctuation in the expense related to the mark-to-market adjustment on postretirement benefit plans
•
changes in our assumptions underlying future funding of pension obligations, and
•
changes in assumptions used to determine contingent consideration in acquisitions.
A significant disruption in third-party package delivery and import/export services, or significant increases in prices for those services, could interfere with our ability to ship products, increase our costs and lower our profitability.
We ship a significant portion of our products to our customers through independent package delivery and import/export companies, including UPS and Federal Express in the United States; TNT, UPS and DHL in Europe; and UPS in Asia. We also ship our products through other carriers, including national trucking firms, overnight carrier services and the United States Postal Service. If one or more of the package delivery or import/export providers experiences a significant disruption in services or institutes a significant price increase, we may have to seek alternative providers and the delivery of our products could be prevented or delayed. Such events could cause us to incur increased shipping costs that could not be passed on to our customers, negatively impacting our profitability and our relationships with certain of our customers.
Disruptions in the supply of raw materials, certain key components and other goods from our limited or single source suppliers could have an adverse effect on the results of our business operations, and could damage our relationships with customers.
The production of our products requires a wide variety of raw materials, key components and other goods that are generally available from alternate sources of supply. However, certain critical raw materials, key components and other goods required for the production and sale of some of our principal products are available from limited or single sources of supply. We generally have multi-year contracts with no minimum purchase requirements with these suppliers, but those contracts may not fully protect us from a failure by certain suppliers to supply critical materials or from the delays inherent in being required to change suppliers and, in some cases, validate new raw materials. Such raw materials, key components and other goods can usually be obtained from alternative sources with the potential for an increase in price, decline in quality or delay in delivery. A prolonged inability to obtain certain raw materials, key components or other goods is possible and could have an adverse effect on our business operations, and could damage our relationships with customers.
We are subject to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission requiring disclosure as to whether certain materials known as conflict minerals (tantalum, tin, gold and tungsten), which may be contained in our products are mined from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries. As a result of these rules, we may incur additional costs in complying with the disclosure requirements and in satisfying those customers who require that the components used in our products be certified as conflict-free, and the potential lack of availability of these materials at competitive prices could increase our production costs.
The manufacture and sale of products and services may expose us to product liability claims for which we could have substantial liability.
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims if our products, services or product candidates are alleged or found to have caused injury, damage or loss. We may in the future be unable to obtain insurance with adequate levels of coverage for potential liability on acceptable terms or claims of this nature may be excluded from coverage under the terms of any insurance policy that we can obtain. If we are unable to obtain such insurance or the amounts of any claims successfully brought against us substantially exceed our coverage, then our business could be adversely impacted.
If we fail to maintain satisfactory compliance with the regulations of the United States Food and Drug Administration and other governmental agencies in the United States and abroad, we may be forced to recall products and cease their manufacture and distribution, and we could be subject to civil, criminal or monetary penalties.
Our operations are subject to regulation by different state and federal government agencies in the United States and other countries, as well as to the standards established by international standards bodies. If we fail to comply with those regulations or standards, we could be subject to fines, penalties, criminal prosecution or other sanctions. Some of the products produced by our Human Health segment are subject to regulation by the United States Food and Drug Administration and similar foreign and domestic agencies. These regulations govern a wide variety of product activities, from design and development to labeling, manufacturing, promotion, sales and distribution. If we fail to comply with those regulations or standards, we may have to recall products, cease their manufacture and distribution, and may be subject to fines or criminal prosecution.
We are also subject to a variety of laws, regulations and standards that govern, among other things, the importation and exportation of products, the handling, transportation and manufacture of toxic or hazardous substances, and our business practices in the United States and abroad such as anti-bribery, anti-corruption and competition laws. This requires that we devote substantial resources to maintaining our compliance with those laws, regulations and standards. A failure to do so could result in the imposition of civil, criminal or monetary penalties having a material adverse effect on our operations.
Changes in governmental regulations may reduce demand for our products or increase our expenses.
We compete in markets in which we or our customers must comply with federal, state, local and foreign regulations, such as environmental, health and safety, and food and drug regulations. We develop, configure and market our products to meet customer needs created by these regulations. Any significant change in these regulations could reduce demand for our products or increase our costs of producing these products.
The healthcare industry is highly regulated and if we fail to comply with its extensive system of laws and regulations, we could suffer fines and penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations which could have a significant adverse effect on the results of our business operations.
The healthcare industry, including the genetic screening market, is subject to extensive and frequently changing international and United States federal, state and local laws and regulations. In addition, legislative provisions relating to healthcare fraud and abuse, patient privacy violations and misconduct involving government insurance programs provide federal enforcement personnel with substantial powers and remedies to pursue suspected violations. We believe that our business will continue to be subject to increasing regulation as the federal government continues to strengthen its position on healthcare matters, the scope and effect of which we cannot predict. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil and criminal damages, fines and penalties, exclusion from participation in governmental healthcare programs, and the loss of various licenses, certificates and authorizations necessary to operate our business, as well as incur liabilities from third-party claims, all of which could have a significant adverse effect on our business.
Economic, political and other risks associated with foreign operations could adversely affect our international sales and profitability.
Because we sell our products worldwide, our businesses are subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. Our sales originating outside the United States represented the majority of our total revenue in fiscal year 2013. We anticipate that sales from international operations will continue to represent a substantial portion of our total revenue. In addition, many of our manufacturing facilities, employees and suppliers are located outside the United States. Accordingly, our future results of operations could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:
•
changes in foreign currency exchange rates,
•
changes in a country’s or region’s political or economic conditions, particularly in developing or emerging markets,
•
longer payment cycles of foreign customers and timing of collections in foreign jurisdictions,
•
trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements,
•
differing tax laws and changes in those laws, or changes in the countries in which we are subject to tax,
•
adverse income tax audit settlements or loss of previously negotiated tax incentives,
•
differing business practices associated with foreign operations,
•
difficulty in transferring cash between international operations and the United States,
•
difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations,
•
differing labor laws and changes in those laws,
•
differing protection of intellectual property and changes in that protection,
•
increasing global enforcement of anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, and
•
differing regulatory requirements and changes in those requirements.
If we do not retain our key personnel, our ability to execute our business strategy will be limited.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of our executive officers and key management and technical personnel, particularly our experienced engineers and scientists, and on our ability to continue to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. The competition for these employees is intense. The loss of the services of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. In addition, there could be a material adverse effect on us should the turnover rates for key personnel increase significantly or if we are unable to continue to attract qualified personnel. We do not maintain any key person life insurance policies on any of our officers or employees.
Our success also depends on our ability to execute leadership succession plans. The inability to successfully transition key management roles could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
If we experience a significant disruption in, or breach in security of, our information technology systems, or if we fail to implement new systems, software and technologies successfully, our business could be adversely affected.
We rely on several centralized information technology systems throughout our company to provide products and services, keep financial records, process orders, manage inventory, process shipments to customers and operate other critical functions. Our information technology systems may be susceptible to damage, disruptions or shutdowns due to power outages, hardware failures, computer viruses, attacks by computer hackers, telecommunication failures, user errors, catastrophes or other unforeseen events. If we were to experience a prolonged system disruption in the information technology systems that involve our interactions with customers or suppliers, it could result in the loss of sales and customers and significant incremental costs, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, security breaches of our information technology systems could result in the misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information belonging to us or to our employees, partners, customers or suppliers, which could result in our suffering significant financial or reputational damage.
We have a substantial amount of outstanding debt, which could impact our ability to obtain future financing and limit our ability to make other expenditures in the conduct of our business.
Our debt level and related debt service obligations could have negative consequences, including:
•
requiring us to dedicate significant cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our debt, which reduces the funds we have available for other purposes, such as acquisitions and stock repurchases;
•
reducing our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and market conditions; and
•
exposing us to interest rate risk since a portion of our debt obligations are at variable rates.
In addition, we may incur additional indebtedness in the future to meet future financing needs. If we add new debt, the risks described above could increase.
Restrictions in our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and other debt instruments may limit our activities.
Our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and our 5% senior unsecured notes due in 2021 (the "2021 Notes") include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that could otherwise benefit our company. These include restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:
•
pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock,
•
sell assets,
•
incur obligations that restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to make dividend or other payments to us,
•
guarantee or secure indebtedness,
•
enter into transactions with affiliates, and
•
consolidate, merge or transfer all, or substantially all, of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
We are also required to meet specified financial ratios under the terms of certain of our existing debt instruments. Our ability to comply with these financial restrictions and covenants is dependent on our future performance, which is subject to prevailing economic conditions and other factors, including factors that are beyond our control, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, changes in technology and changes in the level of competition. In addition, if we are unable to maintain our investment grade credit rating, our borrowing costs would increase and we would be subject to different and potentially more restrictive financial covenants under some of our existing debt instruments.
Any future indebtedness that we incur may include similar or more restrictive covenants. Our failure to comply with any of the restrictions in our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, our 2021 Notes or any future indebtedness may result in an event of default under those debt instruments, which could permit acceleration of the debt under those debt instruments, and require us to prepay that debt before its scheduled due date under certain circumstances.
Our results of operations will be adversely affected if we fail to realize the full value of our intangible assets.
As of December 29, 2013, our total assets included $2.6 billion of net intangible assets. Net intangible assets consist principally of goodwill associated with acquisitions and costs associated with securing patent rights, trademark rights, core technology and technology licenses, net of accumulated amortization. We test certain of these items-specifically all of those that are considered “non-amortizing”-at least annually for potential impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair market value of the reporting unit to which they are assigned. All of our amortizing intangible assets are also evaluated for impairment should events occur that call into question the value of the intangible assets.
Adverse changes in our business, adverse changes in the assumptions used to determine the fair value of our reporting units, or the failure to grow our Human Health and Environmental Health segments may result in impairment of our intangible assets, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our share price will fluctuate.
Over the last several quarters, stock markets in general and our common stock in particular have experienced significant price and volume volatility. Both the market price and the daily trading volume of our common stock may continue to be subject to significant fluctuations due not only to general stock market conditions but also to a change in sentiment in the market regarding our operations and business prospects. In addition to the risk factors discussed above, the price and volume volatility of our common stock may be affected by:
•
operating results that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors,
•
the financial performance of the major end markets that we target,
•
the operating and securities price performance of companies that investors consider to be comparable to us,
•
announcements of strategic developments, acquisitions and other material events by us or our competitors, and
•
changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions, such as interest or foreign exchange rates, commodity and equity prices and the value of financial assets.
Dividends on our common stock could be reduced or eliminated in the future.
On October 24, 2013, we announced that our Board had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 that will be payable in February 2014. On January 24, 2014, we announced that our Board had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 that will be payable in May 2014. In the future, our Board may determine to reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.

Properties
As of December 29, 2013, our continuing operations occupied 2,398,511 square feet in over 106 locations. We own 285,770 square feet of this space, and lease the balance. We conduct our operations in manufacturing and assembly plants, research laboratories, administrative offices and other facilities located in 14 states and 35 foreign countries.
Facilities outside of the United States account for approximately 1,407,197 square feet of our owned and leased property, or approximately 59% of our total occupied space.
Our real property leases are both short-term and long-term. We believe that our properties are well-maintained and are adequate for our present requirements.
The following table indicates, as of December 29, 2013, the approximate square footage of real property owned and leased attributable to the continuing operations of our reporting segments:
Item 3.
Legal Proceedings
Enzo Biochem, Inc. and Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (collectively, “Enzo”) filed a complaint dated October 23, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 02-8448, seeking injunctive and monetary relief against Amersham plc, Amersham BioSciences, PerkinElmer, Inc., PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sigma Chemical Company, Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc., and Orchid BioSciences, Inc. The complaint alleges that we breached our distributorship and settlement agreements with Enzo, infringed Enzo's patents, engaged in unfair competition and fraud, and committed torts against Enzo by, among other things, engaging in commercial development and exploitation of Enzo's patented products and technology, separately and together with the other defendants. We filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that Enzo's patents are invalid. In 2007, after the court issued a decision in 2006 regarding the construction of the claims in Enzo's patents that effectively limited the coverage of certain of those claims and, we believe, excluded certain of our products from the coverage of Enzo's patents, summary judgment motions were filed by the defendants. The case was assigned to a new district court judge in January 2009 and in March 2009, the new judge denied the pending summary judgment motions without prejudice and ordered a stay of the case until the federal appellate court decided Enzo's appeal of the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in Enzo Biochem vs. Applera Corp. and Tropix, Inc. (the “Connecticut Case”), which involved a number of the same patents and which could materially affect the scope of Enzo's case against us. In March 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed-in-part and reversed-in-part the judgment in the Connecticut Case. The district court permitted us and the other defendants to jointly file a motion for summary judgment on certain patent and other issues common to all of the defendants. On September 12, 2012, the court granted in part and denied in part our motion for summary judgment of non-infringement. On December 21, 2012, we filed a second motion for summary judgment on claims that were not addressed in the first motion, which the court also granted in part and denied in part. The case is expected to go to trial in March 2014.
We believe we have meritorious defenses to the matter described above, and we are contesting the action vigorously. While this matter is subject to uncertainty, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.
We are also subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Although we have established accruals for potential losses that we believe are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving these other contingencies at December 29, 2013 should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to us.

Item 5.
Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Market Price of Common Stock
Our common stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The following table sets forth the high and low per share closing sale prices for our common stock on that exchange for each quarter in fiscal years 2013 and 2012.
As of February 20, 2014, we had approximately 4,750 holders of record of our common stock.
Stock Repurchase Program
The following table provides information with respect to the shares of common stock repurchased by us for the periods indicated.
____________________________
(1)
On October 24, 2012, our Board authorized us to repurchase up to 6.0 million shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"). The Repurchase Program will expire on October 24, 2014 unless terminated earlier by our Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock in the open market under the Repurchase Program. As of December 29, 2013, approximately 2.4 million shares authorized by our Board under the Repurchase Program remained available for repurchase. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.
(2)
Our Board has authorized us to repurchase shares of common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to our equity incentive plans. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, we repurchased 5,529 shares of common stock for this purpose. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.
Dividends
During fiscal years 2013 and 2012, we declared regular quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. The table below sets forth the cash dividends per share that we declared on our common stock during each of those fiscal years, by quarter.
While it is our current intention to pay regular quarterly cash dividends, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be made by our Board and will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other factors. Our Board may reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.

We recorded pre-tax restructuring and contract termination charges, net, of $33.9 million in fiscal year 2013, $25.1 million in fiscal year 2012, $13.5 million in fiscal year 2011, $19.0 million in fiscal year 2010 and $18.0 million in fiscal year 2009.
(4)
On April 27, 2010 we sold a building which provided net proceeds of $11.0 million. We recorded a pre-tax gain of $3.4 million in operating income.
(5)
In fiscal year 2013, we recorded pre-tax impairment charges of $6.7 million as the carrying amounts of certain long-lived assets were not recoverable and exceeded their fair value. In fiscal year 2012, we recorded pre-tax impairment charges of $74.2 million as a result of a review of certain of our trade names within our portfolio as part of a realignment of our marketing strategy. In fiscal year 2011, we recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $3.0 million for the full impairment of license agreements that we no longer intend to use.
(6)
In fiscal year 2013, 2012 and fiscal year 2011, interest expense was $49.9 million, $45.8 million and $24.8 million, respectively, with higher interest expense in fiscal years 2013 and 2012 due primarily to increased debt and the higher interest rates on those debt balances with the issuance in fiscal year 2011 of the senior unsecured notes due in 2021. In fiscal year 2013, we redeemed all of our 6% senior unsecured notes due in 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) that included a prepayment premium of $11.1 million, which is included in other expense, net, the write-off of $2.8 million for the remaining unamortized derivative losses for previously settled cash flow hedges, which is included in interest expense, and the write-off of $0.2 million for the remaining deferred debt issuance costs, which is included in interest expense. For fiscal year 2011, acquisition related financing costs added an additional expense of $3.1 million, and is included in interest expense.
(7)
In fiscal year 2010, we acquired the remaining fifty percent equity interest in our joint venture (the "ICPMS Joint Venture") with the company previously known as MDS, Inc. for the development and manufacturing of our Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry product line. The fair value of the acquisition was $67.7 million, including cash consideration of $35.0 million, non-cash consideration of $2.6 million for certain non-exclusive rights to intangible assets we own, and $30.4 million representing the fair value of our fifty percent equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture held prior to the acquisition. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $25.6 million from the re-measurement to fair value of our previously held equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture. This pre-tax gain is reported in interest and other expense (income), net, for fiscal year 2010.
(8)
The benefit from income taxes in fiscal year 2013 was primarily due to a tax benefit of $24.0 million related to discrete items and losses in higher tax rate jurisdictions, offset by a provision from income taxes related to profits in lower tax rate jurisdictions.
(9)
The benefit from income taxes in fiscal year 2012 was primarily due to a tax benefit of $7.0 million related to discrete items and losses in higher tax rate jurisdictions, which included pre-tax impairment charges of $74.2 million, partially offset by a provision from income taxes related to profits in lower tax rate jurisdictions.
(10)
The fiscal year 2011 effective tax rate on continuing operations of 98.2% was primarily due to the fiscal year 2011 provision of $79.7 million related to our planned $350.0 million repatriation of previously unremitted earnings.
(11)
The fiscal year 2010 effective tax rate on continuing operations of 16.3% was primarily due to the favorable impact related to the gain on the previously held equity interest in the ICPMS Joint Venture.
(12)
In November 2010, we sold our Illumination and Detection Solutions (“IDS”) business for approximately $500.0 million, $482.0 million net of payments for acquired cash balances, subject to an adjustment for working capital as of the closing date. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $315.3 million, inclusive of the net working capital adjustment, in
fiscal year 2010 as a result of the sale of our IDS business. The gain was recognized as a gain on the disposition of discontinued operations.
(13)
In October 2011, we issued and sold ten-year senior notes at a rate of 5% with a face value of $500.0 million and received $496.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance. The debt, which matures in November 2021, is unsecured.
(14)
In fiscal year 2013, we repurchased in the open market approximately 3.6 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $123.0 million, including commissions under the Stock Repurchase Program. In fiscal year 2012, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under any stock repurchase program. In fiscal year 2011, we repurchased in the open market approximately 4.0 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $107.8 million, including commissions. In fiscal year 2010, we repurchased in the open market approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $71.5 million, including commissions.

The repurchases made during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 were made pursuant to our stock repurchase program originally announced in October 2008 that expired in October 2012. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.
Item 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This annual report on Form 10-K, including the following management’s discussion and analysis, contains forward-looking information that you should read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements that we have included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Words such as “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from the plans, intentions or expectations we disclose in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors above under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A above that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make. We are not obligated to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Accounting Period
Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. We report fiscal years under a 52/53 week format. Under this method, certain years will contain 53 weeks. Each of the fiscal years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012 included 52 weeks. The fiscal year ending December 28, 2014 will also include 52 weeks.
Overview of Fiscal Year 2013
We realigned our organization at the beginning of fiscal year 2013, to allow us to implement our strategy and propel our vision to improve global health by innovating technologies that help make healthcare more effective, affordable and accessible around the world. Our Informatics business, as well as our field service on products previously sold by our former Bio-discovery business, were moved from our Environmental Health segment into our Human Health segment. The results reported for fiscal year 2013 reflect this new alignment of our operating segments. Financial information relating to fiscal years 2012 and 2011 has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the changes to the operating segments. The principal products and services of our two operating segments are:
•
Human Health. Develops diagnostics, tools and applications to help detect diseases earlier and more accurately and to accelerate the discovery and development of critical new therapies. The Human Health segment serves both the diagnostics and research markets.
•
Environmental Health. Provides products, services and solutions to facilitate the creation of safer food and consumer products, more secure surroundings and efficient energy resources. The Environmental Health segment serves the environmental, industrial and laboratory services markets.
As a result of the realignment, we reallocated goodwill from the Environmental Health segment to the Human Health segment based on the relative fair value, determined using the income approach, of the businesses within the historical Environmental Health segment. The change resulted in $215.7 million of goodwill being allocated from the Environmental Health segment to the Human Health segment.
During fiscal year 2013, we continued to see good performance from acquisitions, investments in our ongoing technology and sales and marketing initiatives. Our overall revenue in fiscal year 2013 increased $51.0 million, or 2%, as compared to fiscal year 2012, reflecting an increase of $35.1 million, or 3%, in our Human Health segment revenue and an increase of $15.9 million, or 2%, in our Environmental Health segment revenue. The increase in our Human Health segment revenue during fiscal year 2013 was due to growth in our diagnostics business from continued expansion of our prenatal, newborn and infectious disease screening solutions, as well as increased demand for our informatics offerings and in-vivo imaging systems in the research market. The increase in our Environmental Health segment revenue during fiscal year 2013 was due to growth in our laboratory services business, partially offset by decreased demand for some of our products in the environmental and industrial markets.
In our Human Health segment during fiscal year 2013 as compared to fiscal year 2012, we experienced growth in the diagnostics market as birth rates in the United States increased and from continued expansion of our prenatal, newborn and infectious disease screening solutions in key regions outside the United States, particularly in emerging markets such as China, the Middle East and Africa and Korea, as well as increased demand for our informatics offerings and in-vivo imaging systems in the research market. This growth was partially offset by slight declines in our medical imaging business despite continued growth in our complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor imaging technology, as well as declines in our radiometric detection businesses within the research market, as a result of sequestration concerns in the United States, European austerity and weakening research markets in Asia, particularly in Japan. As the rising cost of healthcare continues to be one of the critical issues facing our customers, we anticipate that the benefits of providing earlier detection of disease, which can result in savings of long-term health care costs as well as create better outcomes for patients, are increasingly valued and we expect to see continued growth in these markets.
In our Environmental Health segment, our laboratory services business offers services designed to enable our customers to increase efficiencies and production time, while reducing maintenance costs, all of which continue to be critical for our customers. During fiscal year 2013, we continued to experience growth in our laboratory services business by the addition of new customers to our OneSource multivendor service offering, partially offset by decreased demand across some of our products in the environmental and industrial markets. We anticipate that the continued development of contaminant regulations and corresponding testing protocols will result in increased demand for efficient, analytically sensitive and information rich testing solutions.
Our consolidated gross margins decreased 44 basis points in fiscal year 2013, as compared to fiscal year 2012, due to pricing pressure and unfavorable changes in product mix with an increase in sales of lower gross margin product offerings, partially offset by the fiscal year 2013 mark-to-market income for our postretirement benefit plans, as compared to the mark-to-market loss in fiscal year 2012, and productivity improvements. Our consolidated operating margin increased 538 basis points in fiscal year 2013, as compared to fiscal year 2012, primarily due to lower pre-tax impairment charges of $6.7 million in fiscal year 2013 as compared to $74.2 million in fiscal year 2012, a pre-tax gain of $17.6 million in fiscal year 2013 as compared to a pre-tax loss of $31.8 million in fiscal year 2012 for the mark-to-market adjustments for our postretirement plans and cost containment and productivity initiatives, which were partially offset by higher restructuring costs and lower gross margins.
We believe we are well positioned to continue to take advantage of the spending trends in our end markets and to promote our efficiencies in markets where current conditions may increase demand for certain services. Overall, we believe that our strategic focus on Human Health and Environmental Health coupled with our breadth of end markets, deep portfolio of technologies and applications, leading market positions, global scale and financial strength will provide us with a foundation for growth.
Consolidated Results of Continuing Operations
Revenue
2013 Compared to 2012. Revenue for fiscal year 2013 was $2,166.2 million, as compared to $2,115.2 million for fiscal year 2012, an increase of $51.0 million, or 2%, which includes an approximate 1% increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions and an approximate 0.4% decrease in revenue attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares segment revenue for fiscal year 2013 as compared to fiscal year 2012 and includes the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. The total increase in revenue reflects a $35.1 million, or 3%, increase in our Human Health segment revenue, due to an increase in diagnostics market revenue of $22.0 million and an increase in research market revenue of $13.1 million. Our Environmental Health segment revenue increased $15.9 million, or 2%, due to an increase in laboratory services market revenue of $23.2 million, partially offset by decreases in environmental and industrial markets revenue of $7.3 million. As a result of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain acquisitions required by business combination rules, we did not recognize $7.3 million of revenue primarily related to our informatics business in our Human Health segment for fiscal year 2013 and $26.2 million for fiscal year 2012 that otherwise would have been recorded by the acquired businesses during each of the respective periods.
2012 Compared to 2011. Revenue for fiscal year 2012 was $2,115.2 million, as compared to $1,918.5 million for fiscal year 2011, an increase of $196.7 million, or 10%, which includes an approximate 7% increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions and an approximate 2% decrease in revenue attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares segment revenue for fiscal year 2012 as compared to fiscal year 2011 and includes the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. The total increase in revenue reflects a $196.8 million, or 20%, increase in our Human Health segment revenue, due to an increase in research market revenue of $148.1 million and an increase in diagnostics market revenue of $48.7 million. Our Environmental Health segment revenue for fiscal year 2012 as compared to fiscal year 2011 included an increase in revenue of $10.3 million from the laboratory services market, which was almost completely offset by decreases in revenue of $10.3 million from the environmental and industrial markets. As a result of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain acquisitions required by business combination rules, we did not recognize $26.2 million of revenue primarily related to our informatics business in our Human Health segment for fiscal year 2012 and $30.8 million for fiscal year 2011 that otherwise would have been recorded by the acquired businesses during each of the respective periods.
Cost of Revenue
2013 Compared to 2012. Cost of revenue for fiscal year 2013 was $1,189.3 million, as compared to $1,152.0 million for fiscal year 2012, an increase of approximately $37.3 million, or 3%. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased to 54.9% in fiscal year 2013 from 54.5% in fiscal year 2012, resulting in a decrease in gross margin of approximately 44 basis points to 45.1% in fiscal year 2013 from 45.5% in fiscal year 2012. Amortization of intangible assets increased and was $53.1 million for fiscal year 2013, as compared to $51.8 million for fiscal year 2012. The mark-to-market adjustment for
postretirement benefit plans was a loss of $0.8 million for fiscal year 2013, as compared to a loss of $3.7 million for fiscal year 2012. Stock-based compensation expense was $1.3 million for both fiscal years 2013 and 2012. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions added an expense of approximately $0.2 million for fiscal year 2013, as compared to $5.2 million for fiscal year 2012. Acquisition related costs for integration, contingent consideration and other costs added an expense of $0.2 million for fiscal year 2013. In addition to the factors noted above, the decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of pricing pressure and unfavorable changes in product mix with an increase in sales of lower gross margin product offerings, partially offset by productivity improvements.
2012 Compared to 2011. Cost of revenue for fiscal year 2012 was $1,152.0 million, as compared to $1,070.7 million for fiscal year 2011, an increase of approximately $81.3 million, or 8%. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue decreased to 54.5% in fiscal year 2012 from 55.8% in fiscal year 2011, resulting in an increase in gross margin of approximately 135 basis points to 45.5% in fiscal year 2012 from 44.2% in fiscal year 2011. Amortization of intangible assets decreased and was $51.8 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to $53.4 million for fiscal year 2011. The mark-to-market adjustment for postretirement benefit plans was a loss of $3.7 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to a loss of $4.2 million for fiscal year 2011. Stock-based compensation expense increased and was $1.3 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to $1.1 million for fiscal year 2011. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions added an expense of approximately $5.2 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to $4.1 million for fiscal year 2011. In addition to the factors noted above, the increase in gross margin was primarily the result of increased sales volume, changes in product mix with growth in sales of higher gross margin product offerings and productivity improvements, partially offset by increased costs related to acquisitions.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
2013 Compared to 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2013 were $585.9 million, as compared to $632.7 million for fiscal year 2012, a decrease of approximately $46.9 million, or 7%. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased and were 27.0% in fiscal year 2013, compared to 29.9% in fiscal year 2012. Amortization of intangible assets decreased and was $36.9 million for fiscal year 2013, as compared to $38.9 million for fiscal year 2012. The mark-to-market adjustment for postretirement benefit plans was income of $18.1 million for fiscal year 2013, as compared to a loss of $27.9 million for fiscal year 2012. Stock-based compensation expense decreased and was $11.9 million for fiscal year 2013, as compared to $19.0 million for fiscal year 2012. Environmental charges related to a particular site for increased monitoring and mitigation activities were $4.6 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. Acquisition related costs for integration, contingent consideration and other costs added an expense of $1.1 million for fiscal year 2013 and $0.3 million for fiscal year 2012. In addition to the factors noted above, the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of cost containment and productivity initiatives.
2012 Compared to 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2012 were $632.7 million, as compared to $624.4 million for fiscal year 2011, an increase of approximately $8.3 million, or 1%. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased and were 29.9% in fiscal year 2012, compared to 32.5% in fiscal year 2011. Amortization of intangible assets increased and was $38.9 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to $25.9 million for fiscal year 2011. The mark-to-market adjustment for postretirement benefit plans was a loss of $27.9 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to a loss of $62.9 million for fiscal year 2011. Stock-based compensation expense increased and was $19.0 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to $13.8 million for fiscal year 2011. Acquisition related costs for integration, contingent consideration and other costs added an expense of $0.3 million for fiscal year 2012 and $11.2 million for fiscal year 2011. In addition to the factors noted above, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of costs related to acquisitions and growth and productivity investments, particularly in emerging territories, offset by cost containment initiatives.
Research and Development Expenses
2013 Compared to 2012. Research and development expenses for fiscal year 2013 were $133.0 million, as compared to $132.6 million for fiscal year 2012, an increase of $0.4 million, or 0.3%. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses decreased to 6.1% in fiscal year 2013, as compared to 6.3% in fiscal year 2012.

Stock-based compensation expense increased and was $0.9 million for fiscal year 2013, as compared to $0.8 million for fiscal year 2012. Acquisition related costs added an expense of $0.2 million for fiscal year 2013. We have a broad product base, and we do not expect any single research and development project to have significant costs. We directed research and development efforts similarly during fiscal years 2013 and 2012, primarily toward the diagnostics and research markets within our Human Health segment, and the environmental, industrial and laboratory services markets within our Environmental Health segment, in order to help accelerate our growth initiatives.
2012 Compared to 2011. Research and development expenses for fiscal year 2012 were $132.6 million, as compared to $115.8 million for fiscal year 2011, an increase of $16.8 million, or 15%.

Amortization of intangible assets decreased and was $0.5 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to $0.7 million for fiscal year 2011. The mark-to-market adjustment for postretirement benefit plans was a loss of $0.2 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to a loss of $0.8 million for fiscal year 2011. Stock-based compensation expense increased and was $0.8 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to $0.6 million for fiscal year 2011.

Restructuring and Contract Termination Charges, Net
We have undertaken a series of restructuring actions related to the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, alignment with our growth strategy and the integration of our business units. Restructuring and contract termination charges for fiscal year 2013 were a $33.9 million charge, as compared to a $25.1 million charge for fiscal year 2012 and an $13.5 million charge for fiscal year 2011.
The following table summarizes our restructuring and contract termination accrual balances and related activity by restructuring plan, as well as contract termination, during fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011:
The restructuring plans for the fourth and third quarters of fiscal year 2013 were principally intended to shift certain of our research and development resources into a newly opened Center for Innovation. The restructuring plan for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was principally intended to shift certain of our operations into a newly established shared service center as well as realign operations, research and development resources and production resources as a result of previous acquisitions. The restructuring plan for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was principally intended to focus resources on higher growth end markets. The restructuring plan for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 was principally intended to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets. The restructuring plan for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 was principally intended to shift certain of our operations into a newly established shared service center. The restructuring plans for the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2012 were principally intended to realign operations, research and development resources and production resources as a result of previous acquisitions. We expect the impact of future cost savings on operating results and cash flows from restructuring activities executed in fiscal year 2013 will exceed $9.0 million annually beginning in fiscal year 2015. We expect the impact of future cost savings on operating results and cash flows from restructuring activities executed in fiscal year 2012 will exceed $11.0 million annually beginning in fiscal year 2014. These future cost savings will be primarily a decrease to cost of revenue and a decrease to selling, general and administrative expenses.
Q4 2013 Restructuring Plan
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, our management approved a plan principally intended to shift certain of our research and development resources into a newly opened Center for Innovation (the “Q4 2013 Plan”). As a result of the Q4
2013 Plan, we recognized a $8.2 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space and recognized a $3.0 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities.
As part of the Q4 2013 Plan, we reduced headcount by 74 employees. All employees were notified of termination under the Q4 2013 Plan by December 29, 2013, and we anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $2.0 million for workforce reductions will be substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. We also anticipate that the remaining payments of $6.9 million, net of estimated sublease income, for the closure of the excess facility space will be paid through fiscal year 2019, in accordance with the terms of the applicable leases.
The following table summarizes the components of our Q4 2013 Plan activity recognized by segment:
Q3 2013 Restructuring Plan
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, our management approved a plan principally intended to shift certain of our research and development resources into a newly opened Center for Innovation (the “Q3 2013 Plan”). As a result of the Q3 2013 Plan, we recognized a $0.5 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space.
As part of the Q3 2013 Plan, we reduced headcount by 30 employees. All employees were notified of termination under the Q3 2013 Plan by September 29, 2013. We anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $0.1 million for workforce reductions will be completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. The closure of the facility space will not require any additional payments.
The following table summarizes the components of our Q3 2013 Plan activity recognized by segment:
Q2 2013 Restructuring Plan
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, our management approved a plan principally intended to shift certain of our operations into a newly established shared service center as well as realign operations, research and development resources, and production resources as a result of previous acquisitions (the “Q2 2013 Plan”). As a result of the Q2 2013 Plan, we initially recognized a $9.9 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space, and recognized a $8.8 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. Subsequent to the initial charge, we recorded an additional $0.6 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment for services that were provided for one-time benefits in which the employee was required to render service beyond the legal notification period.
As part of the Q2 2013 Plan, we reduced headcount by 265 employees. All employees were notified of termination under the Q2 2013 Plan by June 30, 2013. We anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $12.8 million for workforce reductions will be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, as local law requires some severance to be paid in monthly installments through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. The closure of the facility space will not require any additional payments.
The following table summarizes the components of our Q2 2013 Plan activity recognized by segment:
Q1 2013 Restructuring Plan
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, our management approved a plan to focus resources on higher growth end markets (the “Q1 2013 Plan”). As a result of the Q1 2013 Plan, we recognized a $2.3 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and recognized a $0.2 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities.
As part of the Q1 2013 Plan, we reduced headcount by 62 employees. All employees were notified of termination by March 31, 2013, and we anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $0.2 million for workforce reductions will be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.
The following table summarizes the components of our Q1 2013 Plan activity recognized by segment:
Q4 2012 Restructuring Plan
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, our management approved a plan to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets (the “Q4 2012 Plan”). As a result of the Q4 2012 Plan, we recognized a $0.6 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and recognized a $2.4 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities.
As part of the Q4 2012 Plan, we reduced headcount by 54 employees. All employees were notified of termination by December 30, 2012, and we anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $0.6 million for workforce reductions will be substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2014.
The following table summarizes the components of our Q4 2012 Plan activity recognized by segment:
Q3 2012 Restructuring Plan
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, our management approved a plan to shift certain of our operations into a newly established shared service center (the “Q3 2012 Plan”). As a result of the Q3 2012 Plan, and during fiscal year 2012, we recognized $3.9 million pre-tax restructuring charges in each of our Human Health and Environmental Health segments related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities. During fiscal year 2013, we also recorded a pre-tax restructuring reversal of $0.3 million in each of our Human Health and Environmental Health segments due to lower than expected costs associated with remaining severance payments, as local law requires some severance to be paid in monthly installments through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.
As part of the Q3 2012 Plan, we will reduce headcount by 66 employees. All employees were notified of termination by September 30, 2012, and we anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $3.8 million for workforce reductions will be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.
The following table summarizes the components of our Q3 2012 Plan activity recognized by segment:
Q2 2012 Restructuring Plan
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, our management approved a plan to realign operations, research and development resources, and production resources as a result of previous acquisitions (the “Q2 2012 Plan”). As a result of the Q2 2012 Plan, and during fiscal year 2012, we recognized a $7.2 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and recognized a $0.2 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities. During fiscal year 2013 we recorded an additional $2.1 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment for services that were provided for one-time benefits in which the employee was required to render service beyond the legal notification period. In addition during fiscal year 2013, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring reversal of $0.3 million due to lower than expected costs associated with remaining severance payments. We expect to recognize an additional $0.1 million of incremental restructuring expense in future periods as services are provided for one-time termination benefits in which the employee is required to render service until termination in order to receive the benefits. This expense will be recognized ratably over the required service period.
As part of the Q2 2012 Plan, we will reduce headcount by 203 employees. All employees were notified of termination by July 1, 2012, and we anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $1.3 million for workforce reductions will be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.
The following table summarizes the components of our Q2 2012 Plan activity recognized by segment:
Q1 2012 Restructuring Plan
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, our management approved a plan to realign operations and production resources as a result of previous acquisitions (the “Q1 2012 Plan”). As a result of the Q1 2012 Plan, and during fiscal year 2012, we recognized a $5.4 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space and recognized a $1.0 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities. During fiscal year 2013, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring reversal of $0.4 million in our Human Health segment and a pre-tax restructuring reversal of $0.1 million in our Environmental Health segment due to lower than expected costs associated with remaining severance payments.
As part of the Q1 2012 Plan, we reduced headcount by 112 employees. All employees were notified of termination and actions related to the closure of excess facility space were completed by April 1, 2012, and we anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $0.1 million for workforce reductions will be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. The closure of the excess facility space will not require any additional payments.
The following table summarizes the components of our Q1 2012 Plan activity recognized by segment:
Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans
The principal actions of the restructuring and integration plans from fiscal years 2001 through 2011 were workforce reductions related to the integration of our businesses in order to reduce costs and achieve operational efficiencies as well as workforce reductions in both our Human Health and Environmental Health segments by shifting resources into geographic regions and end markets that are more consistent with our growth strategy. During fiscal year 2013, we paid $2.4 million related to these plans and recorded a reversal of $1.1 million primarily related to lower than expected costs associated with workforce reductions within each of our Human Health and Environmental Health segments. As of December 29, 2013, we had $7.5 million of remaining liabilities associated with these restructuring and integration plans, primarily for residual lease obligations related to closed facilities and remaining severance payments for workforce reductions in both our Human Health and Environmental Health segments. We expect to make payments for these leases, the terms of which vary in length, through fiscal year 2022.
Contract Termination Charges
We have terminated various contractual commitments in connection with certain disposal activities and have recorded charges, to the extent applicable, for the costs of terminating these contracts before the end of their terms and the costs that will continue to be incurred for the remaining terms without economic benefit to us. We recorded an additional pre-tax charge of $0.7 million in fiscal year 2013, a pre-tax charge of $1.5 million in fiscal year 2012 and a pre-tax charge of $2.0 million in fiscal year 2011, primarily as a result of terminating various contractual commitments in our Environmental Health segment. We made payments for these obligations of $1.0 million during fiscal year 2013, $2.9 million during fiscal year 2012, and $0.4 million during fiscal year 2011. The remaining balance of these accruals as of December 29, 2013 was $0.3 million.
Impairment of Assets
2013 Compared to 2012. Impairment of assets was $6.7 million in fiscal year 2013, as compared to $74.2 million in fiscal year 2012. The fiscal year 2013 pre-tax impairment charge was $6.7 million for the impairment of certain long-lived assets within our Human Health segment as the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets were not recoverable and exceeded their fair value. Additional information regarding these impairments is discussed in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.
2012 Compared to 2011. Impairment of assets was $74.2 million in fiscal year 2012, as compared to $3.0 million in fiscal year 2011. As part of integrating our recent acquisitions, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, we decided that prospectively we would primarily focus on the PerkinElmer trade name. Accordingly, we undertook a review of certain of our trade names within our portfolio as part of a realignment of our marketing strategy, which resulted in pre-tax impairment charges of $74.2 million in fiscal year 2012. We recognized $73.4 million pre-tax impairment charges in our Human Health segment and also recognized $0.7 million pre-tax impairment charges in our Environmental Health segment. The fiscal year 2011 pre-tax impairment charge was $3.0 million for the impairment of intangible assets within our Human Health segment for the full impairment of license agreements that we no longer intend to use.
Interest and Other Expense, Net
Interest and other expense, net, consisted of the following:
2013 Compared to 2012. Interest and other expense, net, for fiscal year 2013 was an expense of $64.1 million, as compared to an expense of $48.0 million for fiscal year 2012, an increase of $16.2 million. The increase in interest and other expense, net, in fiscal year 2013 as compared to fiscal year 2012 was primarily due to an increase in other expense, net, resulting from a prepayment premium of $11.1 million for the redemption of our 2015 Notes. Interest expense increased by $4.1 million in fiscal year 2013 as compared to fiscal year 2012, primarily due to the write-off of $2.8 million for the remaining unamortized derivative losses for previously settled cash flow hedges and the write-off of $0.2 million for the remaining deferred debt issuance costs related to the prepayment of our 2015 Notes. Interest income decreased by $0.1 million in fiscal year 2013 as compared to fiscal year 2012, primarily due to lower cash balances throughout fiscal year 2013. Other expenses for fiscal year 2013 increased by $11.9 million as compared to fiscal year 2012, and consisted primarily of a prepayment premium of $11.1 million for the redemption of our 2015 Notes, expenses related to foreign currency transactions and translation of non-functional currency assets and liabilities. A more complete discussion of our liquidity is set forth below under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
2012 Compared to 2011. Interest and other expense, net, for fiscal year 2012 was an expense of $48.0 million, as compared to an expense of $26.8 million for fiscal year 2011, an increase of $21.2 million. The increase in interest and other expense, net, in fiscal year 2012 as compared to fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to higher debt balances and an increase of fixed rate debt to partially fund our acquisition of Caliper Life Sciences, Inc. ("Caliper") in fiscal year 2011. Interest expense increased by $21.0 million in fiscal year 2012 as compared to fiscal year 2011, primarily due to the increased debt and the higher interest rates on those debt balances associated with the issuance of the 2021 Notes. Interest income decreased by $1.1 million in fiscal year 2012 as compared to fiscal year 2011, primarily due to lower cash balances and lower interest rates on invested cash. For fiscal year 2011, acquisition related financing costs added expense of $3.1 million, and is included in interest expense. Other expenses for fiscal year 2012 as compared to fiscal year 2011 decreased by $1.0 million, and consisted primarily of expenses related to foreign currency transactions and translation of non-functional currency assets and liabilities.
(Benefit from) Provision for Income Taxes
2013 Compared to 2012. The fiscal year 2013 benefit from income taxes on continuing operations was $14.6 million, as compared to a benefit of $17.9 million for fiscal year 2012. The effective tax rate on continuing operations was a benefit of 9.5% for fiscal year 2013 as compared to a benefit of 35.3% for fiscal year 2012. The benefit from income taxes in fiscal year 2013 was primarily due to a tax benefit of $24.0 million related to discrete items and losses in higher tax rate jurisdictions, offset by a provision from income taxes related to profits in lower tax rate jurisdictions. The $24.0 million of discrete items includes $9.4 million for lapses in statutes of limitations during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and $9.2 million primarily for lapses in statues of limitations and audit settlements in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. The benefit from income taxes in fiscal year 2012 was primarily due to a tax benefit of $7.0 million related to discrete items and losses in higher tax rate jurisdictions, which included the pre-tax impairment charges of $74.2 million, partially offset by a provision from income taxes related to profits in lower tax rate jurisdictions.
2012 Compared to 2011. The fiscal year 2012 benefit from income taxes on continuing operations was $17.9 million, as compared to a provision of $63.2 million for fiscal year 2011. The effective tax rate on continuing operations was a benefit of 35.3% for fiscal year 2012 as compared to an expense of 98.2% for fiscal year 2011. The benefit from income taxes in fiscal year 2012 was primarily due to a tax benefit of $7.0 million related to discrete items and losses in higher tax rate jurisdictions, which included the pre-tax impairment charges of $74.2 million, partially offset by a provision from income taxes related to profits in lower tax rate jurisdictions. The fiscal year 2011 provision for incomes taxes includes a provision of $79.7 million related to our planned $350.0 million repatriation of previously unremitted earnings.
Discontinued Operations
As part of our continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, we have discontinued certain businesses. We have accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations and, accordingly, have presented the results of operations and
related cash flows as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Any remaining liabilities of these businesses have been presented separately, and are reflected within liabilities from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012.
We recorded the following pre-tax gains and losses, which have been reported as a gain or loss on disposition of discontinued operations during the three fiscal years ended:
In June 2010, we sold our Photoflash business, which was included in our Environmental Health segment, for $13.5 million, including an adjustment for net working capital, plus potential additional contingent consideration. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $0.5 million in fiscal year 2013 and a pre-tax gain of $2.5 million in fiscal year 2012 for contingent consideration related to this sale.
In August 1999, we sold the assets of our Technical Service business for approximately $250.0 million in cash and the assumption by us of certain liabilities of our Technical Services business. During fiscal year 2013, we recorded a pre-tax loss of $2.1 million for a contingency related to this business.
During fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, we settled various commitments related to the divestiture of other discontinued operations. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $2.1 million in fiscal year 2011. The fiscal year 2011 pre-tax gain included a $4.0 million gain for contingent consideration related to the sale of our semiconductor business in fiscal year 2006, which was partially offset by a pre-tax loss of $1.8 million related to updating the net working capital adjustment associated with the sale of our Illumination and Detection Solutions ("IDS") business in fiscal year 2010.
We recorded a tax benefit of $1.1 million on discontinued operations in fiscal year 2013, a tax provision of $0.9 million on discontinued operations in fiscal year 2012 and a tax benefit of $4.5 million in fiscal year 2011 on discontinued operations. The recognition of $4.5 million income tax benefit in fiscal year 2011 was primarily the result of a change in estimate related to the federal income tax liability associated with the repatriation of the unremitted earnings of the IDS and Photoflash businesses, as further described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in this annual report on Form 10-K, partially offset by the tax provision on the contingent consideration received in fiscal year 2011 related to the sale of our semiconductor business in fiscal year 2006.
Business Combinations
Acquisitions in fiscal year 2013
We completed the acquisition of four businesses for total consideration of $11.4 million, in cash. As of the closing dates, we potentially had to pay additional contingent consideration for the four acquired businesses of up to $2.2 million, which at closing had an estimated fair value of $1.1 million. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of each of the acquired businesses' net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to us, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, none of which is tax deductible. We reported the operations for these acquisitions within the results of our operations from the acquisition dates. As of December 29, 2013, the purchase accounting allocations related to these acquisitions were preliminary.
Acquisitions in fiscal year 2012
Acquisition of Haoyuan Biotech Co., Ltd. In November 2012, we acquired all outstanding stock of Haoyuan. Haoyuan is a provider of nucleic acid-based blood screening solutions for the blood banking and clinical diagnostics markets. We expect this acquisition to extend our capabilities into nucleic acid blood screening, as well as deepen our position in the growing molecular clinical diagnostics market in China. We paid the shareholders of Haoyuan $38.0 million in cash for the stock of Haoyuan. We recorded a receivable of $2.7 million from the shareholders of Haoyuan as a reduction of purchase price for the settlement of certain contingencies. As of the closing date, we potentially had to pay the shareholders additional contingent consideration of up to $30.0 million, which at closing had an estimated fair value of $1.9 million. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to us, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, none of which is
tax deductible. We reported the operations for this acquisition within the results of our Human Health segment from the acquisition date.
We do not consider the acquisitions completed during fiscal years 2013 and 2012 to be material to our consolidated results of operations; therefore, we are not presenting pro forma financial information of operations. The aggregate revenue and results of operations for the acquisitions completed during fiscal years 2013 and 2012 for the period from their respective acquisition dates to December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 were minimal. We have also determined that the presentation of the results of operations for each of those acquisitions, from the date of acquisition, is impracticable due to the integration of the operations upon acquisition.
As of December 29, 2013 the purchase price allocation for the Haoyuan acquisition was final. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2013 were based upon an initial valuation. Our estimates and assumptions underlying the initial valuation are subject to change within the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, assets and liabilities related to income taxes and related valuation allowances, and residual goodwill. We expect to continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair values of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. During the measurement period, we will adjust assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. Adjustments to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price during the measurement period require the revision of comparative prior period financial information when reissued in subsequent financial statements. The effect of adjustments to the allocation of the purchase price made during the measurement period would be as if the adjustments had been completed on the acquisition date. The effects of any such adjustments, if material, may cause changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income or expense recognized in prior periods. All changes that do not qualify as adjustments made during the measurement period are included in current period earnings.
Allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions are based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocations. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgments as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair values for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. Contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date, based on the probability that revenue thresholds or product development milestones will be achieved during the earnout period, with changes in the fair value after the acquisition date affecting earnings to the extent it is to be settled in cash. Increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities primarily result from changes in the estimated probabilities of achieving revenue thresholds or product development milestones during the earnout period. We may have to pay contingent consideration, related to all acquisitions with open contingency periods, of up to $31.3 million as of December 29, 2013. As of December 29, 2013, we had recorded contingent consideration obligations relating to our acquisitions of Dexela Limited, Haoyuan and Tetra Teknolojik Sistemler Limited Sirketi, with an estimated fair value of $4.9 million. The earnout periods for each of these acquisitions do not exceed three years from the acquisition date. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these fair values, the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, require acceleration of the amortization expense of definite-lived intangible assets, or the recognition of additional consideration which would be expensed.
In connection with the purchase price allocations for acquisitions, we estimate the fair value of deferred revenue assumed with our acquisitions. The estimated fair value of deferred revenue is determined by the legal performance obligation at the date of acquisition, and is generally based on the nature of the activities to be performed and the related costs to be incurred after the acquisition date. The fair value of an assumed liability related to deferred revenue is estimated based on the current market cost of fulfilling the obligation, plus a normal profit margin thereon. The estimated costs to fulfill the deferred revenue are based on the historical direct costs related to providing the services. We do not include any costs associated with selling effort, research and development, or the related fulfillment margins on these costs. In most acquisitions, profit associated with selling effort is excluded because the acquired businesses would have concluded the selling effort on the support contracts prior to the acquisition date. The estimated research and development costs are not included in the fair value determination, as these costs are not deemed to represent a legal obligation at the time of acquisition. The sum of the costs and operating income approximates, in theory, the amount that we would be required to pay a third-party to assume the obligation.
Contingencies, Including Tax Matters
We are conducting a number of environmental investigations and remedial actions at our current and former locations and, along with other companies, have been named a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for certain waste disposal sites. We accrue for environmental issues in the accounting period that our responsibility is established and when the cost can be reasonably estimated. During fiscal year 2013, we accrued an additional $5.7 million related to a particular site for increased monitoring and mitigation activities, of which $4.6 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. We have accrued $13.5 million as of December 29, 2013, which represents our management’s estimate of the cost of the remediation of known environmental matters, and does not include any potential liability for related personal injury or property damage claims. This amount is not discounted and does not reflect the recovery of any material amounts through insurance or indemnification arrangements. These cost estimates are subject to a number of variables, including the stage of the environmental investigations, the magnitude of the possible contamination, the nature of the potential remedies, possible joint and several liability, the time period over which remediation may occur, and the possible effects of changing laws and regulations. For sites where we have been named a PRP, our management does not currently anticipate any additional liability to result from the inability of other significant named parties to contribute. We expect that the majority of such accrued amounts could be paid out over a period of up to ten years. As assessment and remediation activities progress at each individual site, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information as it becomes available. There have been no environmental problems to date that have had, or are expected to have, a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. While it is possible that a loss exceeding the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements may be incurred, the potential exposure is not expected to be materially different from those amounts recorded.
Enzo Biochem, Inc. and Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (collectively, “Enzo”) filed a complaint dated October 23, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 02-8448, seeking injunctive and monetary relief against Amersham plc, Amersham BioSciences, PerkinElmer, Inc., PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sigma Chemical Company, Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc., and Orchid BioSciences, Inc. The complaint alleges that we breached our distributorship and settlement agreements with Enzo, infringed Enzo’s patents, engaged in unfair competition and fraud, and committed torts against Enzo by, among other things, engaging in commercial development and exploitation of Enzo’s patented products and technology, separately and together with the other defendants. We filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that Enzo’s patents are invalid. In 2007, after the court issued a decision in 2006 regarding the construction of the claims in Enzo’s patents that effectively limited the coverage of certain of those claims and, we believe, excluded certain of our products from the coverage of Enzo’s patents, summary judgment motions were filed by the defendants. The case was assigned to a new district court judge in January 2009 and in March 2009, the new judge denied the pending summary judgment motions without prejudice and ordered a stay of the case until the federal appellate court decided Enzo’s appeal of the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in Enzo Biochem vs. Applera Corp. and Tropix, Inc. (the “Connecticut Case”), which involved a number of the same patents and which could materially affect the scope of Enzo’s case against us. In March 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed-in-part and reversed-in-part the judgment in the Connecticut Case. The district court permitted us and the other defendants to jointly file a motion for summary judgment on certain patent and other issues common to all of the defendants. On September 12, 2012, the court granted in part and denied in part our motion for summary judgment of non-infringement. On December 21, 2012, we filed a second motion for summary judgment on claims that were not addressed in the first motion, which the court also granted in part and denied in part. The case is expected to go to trial in March 2014.
We believe we have meritorious defenses to the matter described above, and we are contesting the action vigorously. While this matter is subject to uncertainty, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.
Various tax years after 2006 remain open to examination by certain tax jurisdictions in which we have significant business operations, such as China, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. We regularly review our tax positions in each significant taxing jurisdiction in the process of evaluating our unrecognized tax benefits. We make adjustments to our unrecognized tax benefits when: (i) facts and circumstances regarding a tax position change, causing a change in management’s judgment regarding that tax position; (ii) a tax position is effectively settled with a tax authority; and/or (iii) the statute of limitations expires regarding a tax position.
We are also subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Although we have established accruals for potential losses that we believe are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving these other contingencies at December 29, 2013 should not have a material adverse effect
on our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to us.
Reporting Segment Results of Continuing Operations
We announced a new alignment of our businesses effective for fiscal year 2013 to allow us to implement our strategy and propel our vision to improve global health by innovating technologies that help make healthcare more effective, affordable and accessible around the world. Our Informatics business, as well as our field service on products previously sold by our former Bio-discovery business, were moved from our Environmental Health segment into our Human Health segment. The results reported for fiscal year 2013 reflect this new alignment of our operating segments. Financial information relating to fiscal years 2012 and 2011 has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the changes to the operating segments.
Human Health
2013 Compared to 2012. Revenue for fiscal year 2013 was $1,209.8 million, as compared to $1,174.6 million for fiscal year 2012, an increase of $35.1 million, or 3%, which includes an approximate 2% increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions and an approximate 0.3% decrease in revenue attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares selected revenue by product type for fiscal year 2013, as compared to fiscal year 2012, and includes the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations and acquisitions. The increase in revenue in our Human Health segment was a result of an increase in diagnostics market revenue of $22.0 million and an increase in research market revenue of $13.1 million. As a result of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain acquisitions required by business combination rules, we did not recognize $7.3 million of revenue in our Human Health segment for fiscal year 2013 and $26.2 million of revenue in our Human Health segment for fiscal year 2012 that otherwise would have been recorded by the acquired businesses during each of the respective periods. This increase in our Human Health segment during fiscal year 2013 was due to growth in the diagnostics market as birth rates in the United States increased and from continued expansion of our prenatal, newborn and infectious disease screening solutions in key regions outside the United States, particularly in emerging markets such as China, the Middle East and Africa, and Korea, as well as increased demand for our informatics offerings and in-vivo imaging systems in the research market. This growth was partially offset by slight declines in our medical imaging business despite continued growth in our complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor imaging technology, as well as declines in our radiometric detection businesses within the research market, as a result of sequestration concerns in the United States, European austerity and weakening research markets in Asia, particularly in Japan.
Operating income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2013 was $146.1 million, as compared to $59.2 million for fiscal year 2012, an increase of $86.9 million, or 147%. Amortization of intangible assets decreased and was $80.2 million for fiscal year 2013 as compared to $80.8 million for fiscal year 2012. Restructuring and contract termination charges increased and were $22.2 million for fiscal year 2013 as compared to $17.6 million for fiscal year 2012. Impairment of assets was a charge of $6.7 million for fiscal year 2013 as the carrying amounts of certain long-lived assets were not recoverable and exceeded their fair value, as compared to $73.4 million for fiscal year 2012 as a result of a review of certain of our trade names within our portfolio as part of a realignment of our marketing strategy. Acquisition related costs for integration, contingent consideration and other costs added an expense of $1.4 million for fiscal year 2013, as compared to an expense of $0.1 million for fiscal year 2012. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions was $0.2 million for fiscal year 2013, as compared to $5.2 million for fiscal year 2012. In addition to the factors noted above, increased sales volume in the diagnostics and research markets, favorable changes in product mix, and cost containment initiatives increased operating income for fiscal year 2013, which were partially offset by higher costs related to growth and productivity investments.
2012 Compared to 2011. Revenue for fiscal year 2012 was $1,174.6 million, as compared to $977.9 million for fiscal year 2011, an increase of $196.8 million, or 20%, which includes an approximate 15% increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions and an approximate 2% decrease in revenue attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares selected revenue by product type for fiscal year 2012, as compared to fiscal year 2011, and includes the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations and acquisitions. The increase in revenue in our Human Health segment was a result of an increase in research market revenue of $148.1 million and an increase in diagnostics market revenue of $48.7 million. As a result of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain acquisitions required by business combination rules, we did not recognize $26.2 million of revenue in our Human Health segment for fiscal year 2012 and $30.8 million of revenue in our Human Health segment for fiscal year 2011 that otherwise would have been recorded by the acquired businesses during each of the respective periods. This increase in our Human Health segment revenue during fiscal year 2012 was due primarily to growth in the research market due to growth in our informatics offerings, continued demand for our in-vivo imaging systems with the addition of Caliper imaging systems, as well as increased demand for our automation tools and our Operetta® cellular imaging systems. The growth in the research market was partially offset by a decline in demand for our suite of radioactive reagents, and reduced sales to pharmaceutical companies resulting from reduced research and development spending. We also experienced growth in the diagnostics market as birth rates in the United States began to stabilize and from
continued expansion of our prenatal, newborn and infectious disease screening solutions in key regions outside the United States, particularly in emerging markets such as China. In our medical imaging business, we had growth in our traditional diagnostic imaging offerings and continued growth from our therapeutic and non-medical applications, as well as increased demand for our CMOS imaging technology.
Operating income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2012 was $59.2 million, as compared to $89.7 million for fiscal year 2011, a decrease of $30.5 million, or 34%. Amortization of intangible assets increased and was $80.8 million for fiscal year 2012 and $64.9 million for fiscal year 2011. Restructuring and contract termination charges increased and were $17.6 million for fiscal year 2012 as compared to $6.3 million for fiscal year 2011. Impairment of assets was a charge of $73.4 million for fiscal year 2012 as a result of a review of certain of our trade names within our portfolio as part of a realignment of our marketing strategy, as compared to $3.0 million for fiscal year 2011 for the full impairment of license agreements that we no longer intend to use. Acquisition related costs for integration, contingent consideration and other costs added an expense of $0.1 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to an expense of $10.8 million for fiscal year 2011. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions was $5.2 million for fiscal year 2012 as compared to $4.1 million for fiscal year 2011. In addition to the factors noted above, incremental costs related to acquisitions and growth and productivity investments, particularly in emerging territories, decreased operating income for fiscal year 2012, which was partially offset by increased sales volume, favorable changes in product mix and cost containment initiatives.
Environmental Health
2013 Compared to 2012. Revenue for fiscal year 2013 was $956.5 million, as compared to $940.6 million for fiscal year 2012, an increase of $15.9 million, or 2%, which includes an approximate 1% decrease in revenue attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates and an approximate 0.4% increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares selected revenue by product type for fiscal year 2013, as compared to fiscal year 2012, and includes the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations and acquisitions. The increase in revenue in our Environmental Health segment was a result of an increase in revenue of $23.2 million from the laboratory services market, partially offset by decreases in revenue of $7.3 million from the environmental and industrial markets. As a result of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain acquisitions required by business combination rules, we did not recognize $0.01 million of revenue for fiscal year 2013 that otherwise would have been recorded by the acquired businesses during each of the respective periods. This increase in our Environmental Health segment revenue during fiscal year 2013 was due primarily to growth in our laboratory services business by the addition of new customers to our OneSource multivendor service offering, partially offset by decreased demand across some of our products in the environmental and industrial markets.
Operating income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2013 was $97.1 million, as compared to $111.8 million for fiscal year 2012, a decrease of $14.8 million, or 13%. Amortization of intangible assets decreased and was $10.1 million for fiscal year 2013 as compared to $10.4 million for fiscal year 2012. Restructuring and contract termination charges increased and were $11.8 million for fiscal year 2013 as compared to $7.6 million for fiscal year 2012. Impairment of assets decreased and was a charge of zero for fiscal year 2013 as compared to a charge of $0.7 million for fiscal year 2012 as a result of a review of certain of our trade names within our portfolio as part of a realignment of our marketing strategy. Acquisition related costs for contingent consideration and other costs was an expense of $0.2 million for both fiscal year 2013 and fiscal year 2012. In addition to the factors noted above, pricing pressure, unfavorable changes in product mix, with an increase in sales of lower gross margin product offerings, and increased costs related to growth investments decreased operating income for fiscal year 2013, which was partially offset by increased sales volume and cost containment and productivity initiatives.
2012 Compared to 2011. Revenue for both fiscal years 2012 and 2011 was $940.6 million. Revenue for fiscal year 2012 includes an approximate 2% decrease in revenue attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates and no impact to revenue attributable to acquisitions. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares selected revenue by product type for fiscal year 2012, as compared to fiscal year 2011, and includes the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations and acquisitions. Our Environmental Health segment revenue for fiscal year 2012 as compared to fiscal year 2011 included an increase in revenue of $10.3 million from the laboratory services market, which was almost completely offset by decreases in revenue of $10.3 million from the environmental and industrial markets, due primarily to decreased demand for our applications in the industrial markets, partially offset by continued strength in our inorganic analysis solutions.
Operating income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2012 was $111.8 million, as compared to $108.9 million for fiscal year 2011, an increase of $2.9 million, or 3%. Amortization of intangible assets decreased and was $10.4 million for fiscal year 2012 as compared to $15.1 million for fiscal year 2011. Restructuring and contract termination charges increased and were $7.6 million for fiscal year 2012 as compared to $7.1 million for fiscal year 2011. Impairment of assets was a charge of $0.7 million for fiscal year 2012 as a result of a review of certain of our trade names within our portfolio as part of a realignment of our marketing strategy and no impairment occurred in our Environmental Health segment during fiscal year 2011. Acquisition related costs for contingent consideration and other costs was an expense of $0.2 million for fiscal year 2012,
as compared to an expense of $0.3 million for fiscal year 2011. In addition to the factors noted above, increased sales volume, changes in product mix with growth in sales of higher gross margin product offerings and cost containment initiatives increased operating income for fiscal year 2012, which was offset by increased costs related to growth and productivity investments, particularly in emerging territories.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require cash to pay our operating expenses, make capital expenditures, make strategic acquisitions, service our debt and other long-term liabilities, repurchase shares of our common stock and pay dividends on our common stock. Our principal sources of funds are from our operations and the capital markets, particularly the debt markets. We anticipate that our internal operations will generate sufficient cash to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditures, smaller acquisitions, interest payments on our debt and dividends on our common stock. However, we expect to use external sources to satisfy the balance of our debt when due, any larger acquisitions and other long-term liabilities, such as contributions to our postretirement benefit plans.
Principal factors that could affect the availability of our internally generated funds include:
•
changes in sales due to weakness in markets in which we sell our products and services, and
•
changes in our working capital requirements.
Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include:
•
financial covenants contained in the financial instruments controlling our borrowings that limit our total borrowing capacity,
•
increases in interest rates applicable to our outstanding variable rate debt,
•
a ratings downgrade that could limit the amount we can borrow under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and our overall access to the corporate debt market,
•
increases in interest rates or credit spreads, as well as limitations on the availability of credit, that affect our ability to borrow under future potential facilities on a secured or unsecured basis,
•
a decrease in the market price for our common stock, and
•
volatility in the public debt and equity markets.
Cash Flows
Fiscal Year 2013
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by continuing operations was $158.1 million for fiscal year 2013, as compared to net cash provided by continuing operations of $153.6 million for fiscal year 2012, an increase of $4.5 million. The cash provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2013 was principally a result of income from continuing operations of $167.9 million, and non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $128.5 million, restructuring and contract termination charges, net, of $33.9 million, stock based compensation expense of $14.1 million and impairment of assets charge of $6.7 million. These amounts were partially offset by a net decrease of $144.8 million in accrued expenses, other assets and liabilities and other items, a net increase in working capital of $30.1 million and income related to our postretirement benefit plans, including the mark-to-market adjustment in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, of $18.2 million. Contributing to the net increase in working capital for fiscal year 2013, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, was an increase in accounts receivable of $14.4 million, an increase in inventory of $13.9 million, and a decrease in accounts payable of $1.8 million. The increase in accounts receivable was a result of higher sales volume late in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. The increase in inventory was primarily a result of realigning operations, research and development resources, and production resources within our Environmental Health and Human Health segments to ensure responsiveness to customer requirements as this realignment occurs. The decrease in accounts payable was primarily a result of the timing of disbursements during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. Changes in accrued expenses, other assets and liabilities and other items, net, decreased cash provided by operating activities by $144.8 million for fiscal year 2013, and primarily related to the timing of payments for taxes, defined benefit pension plans, royalties, restructuring, and salary and benefits. During fiscal year 2013, we paid $40.3 million for prepaid royalties and we made contributions of $37.0 million to our defined benefit pension plan in the United States. We also contributed $20.2 million, in the aggregate, to plans outside of the United States during fiscal year 2013, which includes an additional contribution of $10.0 million to our defined benefit pension plan in the United Kingdom.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in the investing activities of our continuing operations was $1.7 million for fiscal year 2013, as compared to net cash used in the investing activities of our continuing operations of $82.8 million for fiscal year 2012,
a decrease of $81.1 million. Proceeds from dispositions of property, plant and equipment was $52.2 million for fiscal year 2013, primarily due to the sale of a building located in Boston, Massachusetts for net proceeds of $47.6 million. Capital expenditures for fiscal year 2013 were $39.0 million, primarily for manufacturing equipment and other capital equipment purchases, which included $5.9 million of capital improvements to leased buildings, which have been funded by the lessor, as described below in our financing lease obligations. For fiscal year 2013, we used $15.7 million of net cash for acquisitions and investments, as compared to $40.9 million used in fiscal year 2012.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in the financing activities of our continuing operations was $154.2 million for fiscal year 2013, as compared to net cash used in the financing activities of our continuing operations of $44.2 million for fiscal year 2012, an increase of $110.0 million. For fiscal year 2013, we repurchased 3.6 million shares of our common stock, including 127,544 shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards, for a total cost of $127.4 million, including commissions. This compares to repurchases of 82,186 shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards, for a total cost of $2.1 million, including commissions, for fiscal year 2012. This use of cash in fiscal year 2013 was partially offset by proceeds from common stock option exercises of $20.3 million. This compares to the proceeds from common stock option exercises of $34.2 million, including $1.8 million for the related excess tax benefit, for fiscal year 2012. During fiscal year 2013, borrowings from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaled $677.0 million, which was offset by debt reductions of $538.0 million and the prepayment of our 2015 Notes of $150.0 million. This compares to borrowings from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility of $395.0 million, which was offset by debt reductions of $435.9 million in fiscal year 2012. We paid $31.6 million and $31.9 million in dividends during fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively. In fiscal year 2013, we paid a prepayment premium of $11.1 million for the redemption of our 2015 Notes and also received $1.4 million for settlement of forward foreign exchange contracts. This compares to $4.1 million received for the settlement of forward foreign exchange contracts during fiscal year 2012. In fiscal year 2012, we paid $0.4 million for debt issuance costs and $12.5 million in contingent consideration recorded at the acquisition date fair value. We also recorded $5.9 million and $5.5 million of financing for fiscal year 2013 and fiscal year 2012, respectively, related to capital improvements to leased buildings, which have been funded by the lessor, as described below in our financing lease obligations.
Fiscal Year 2012
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by continuing operations was $153.6 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to net cash provided by continuing operations of $234.0 million for fiscal year 2011, a decrease of $80.4 million. The cash provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2012 was principally a result of income from continuing operations of $68.4 million, and non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $126.9 million, impairment of assets charge of $74.2 million, the loss related to our postretirement benefit plans, including the mark-to-market adjustment in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 of $35.3 million, restructuring and contract termination charges, net, of $25.1 million, and stock based compensation expense of $21.0 million. These amounts were partially offset by a net increase in working capital of $60.7 million. Contributing to the net increase in working capital for fiscal year 2012, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, was an increase in accounts receivable of $44.6 million, an increase in inventory of $8.2 million, and a decrease in accounts payable of $7.9 million. The increase in accounts receivable was a result of higher sales volume during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. The increase in inventory was primarily a result of realigning operations, research and development resources and production resources within our Environmental Health and Human Health segments to ensure responsiveness to customer requirements as this realignment occurs. The decrease in accounts payable was primarily a result of the timing of disbursements during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. Changes in accrued expenses, other assets and liabilities and other items, net, decreased cash provided by operating activities by $136.7 million for fiscal year 2012, and primarily related to the timing of payments for taxes, restructuring, and salary and benefits.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in the investing activities of our continuing operations was $82.8 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to net cash used in the investing activities of our continuing operations of $942.1 million for fiscal year 2011, a decrease of $859.3 million. For fiscal year 2012, we used $40.9 million of net cash for acquisitions and investments, as compared to $914.0 million used in fiscal year 2011. Capital expenditures for fiscal year 2012 were $42.4 million, primarily for manufacturing equipment and other capital equipment purchases, which included $5.5 million of capital improvements to leased buildings, which have been funded by the lessor, as described below in our financing lease obligations. Restricted cash balances decreased for fiscal year 2012 by $0.5 million, as compared to a decrease in restricted cash balances of $1.3 million for fiscal year 2011.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in the financing activities of our continuing operations was $44.2 million for fiscal year 2012, as compared to net cash provided by the financing activities of our continuing operations of $399.1 million for fiscal year 2011, a decrease of $443.3 million. For fiscal year 2012, we repurchased 82,186 shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards, for a total cost of $2.1 million, including commissions. This compares to repurchases of 4.0 million shares of our common stock, including 84,243
shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards, for a total cost of $110.0 million, including commissions, for fiscal year 2011. This use of cash in fiscal year 2012 was offset by proceeds from common stock option exercises of $34.2 million, including $1.8 million for the related excess tax benefit. This compares to the proceeds from common stock option exercises of $33.1 million, including $9.3 million for the related excess tax benefit, for fiscal year 2011. During fiscal year 2012, borrowings from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaled $395.0 million, which was offset by debt reductions of $435.9 million. This compares to borrowings from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility of $787.0 million and net proceeds of $496.9 million from the issuance of our ten-year senior unsecured notes at a rate of 5%, which was partially offset by debt reductions of $763.0 million in fiscal year 2011. We paid $31.9 million and $31.8 million in dividends during fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. In fiscal year 2012, we received $4.1 million for settlement of forward foreign exchange contracts. In addition, we paid $0.4 million for debt issuance costs and we settled $12.5 million in contingent consideration recorded at the acquisition date fair value during fiscal year 2012, as compared to $10.5 million for debt issuance costs and $0.1 million in contingent consideration recorded at the acquisition date fair value during fiscal year 2011. We also recorded $5.5 million of financing related to capital improvements to leased buildings, which have been funded by the lessor, as described below in our financing lease obligations.
Borrowing Arrangements
Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. On January 8, 2014, we refinanced our debt held under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility and entered into a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility. Our former senior unsecured revolving credit facility provided for $700.0 million of revolving loans and had an initial maturity of December 16, 2016. As of December 29, 2013, undrawn letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $12.0 million were treated as issued and outstanding under the former senior unsecured revolving credit facility. As of December 29, 2013, we had $291.0 million available for additional borrowing under the former facility. The interest rates under the former senior unsecured revolving credit facility were based on the Eurocurrency rate at the time of borrowing plus a margin, or the base rate from time to time. The base rate was the higher of (i) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. as its "prime rate," (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points or (iii) one-month Libor plus 1.00%. The Eurocurrency margin as of December 29, 2013 was 130 basis points. The weighted average Eurocurrency interest rate as of December 29, 2013 was 0.17%, resulting in a weighted average effective Eurocurrency rate, including the margin, of 1.47%, which was the interest applicable to borrowings outstanding under the Eurocurrency rate as of December 29, 2013. At December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, we had $397.0 million and $258.0 million, respectively, of borrowings in U.S. Dollars outstanding under the former senior unsecured revolving credit facility with interest based primarily on the above described Eurocurrency rate. The credit agreement for the former facility contained affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type and similar to those contained in the credit agreement for our new credit facility. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of December 29, 2013.
The new senior unsecured revolving credit facility provides for $700.0 million of revolving loans and has an initial maturity of January 8, 2019. The interest rates under the new senior unsecured revolving credit facility will be based on the Eurocurrency rate at the time of borrowing plus a margin, or the base rate from time to time. The base rate will be the higher of (i) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its "prime rate," (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points or (iii) one-month Libor plus 1.00%. The new credit agreement for the facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type and similar to those contained in the credit agreement for our previous facility. The financial covenants in our new senior unsecured revolving credit facility include a debt-to-capital ratio, and two contingent covenants, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, applicable if our credit rating is downgraded below investment grade. We use the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, refinancing existing indebtedness, capital expenditures, share repurchases, acquisitions and strategic alliances.
6% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2015. On May 30, 2008, we issued $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due in 2015 in a private placement and received $150.0 million of proceeds from the issuance. The 2015 Notes were scheduled to mature in May 2015 and paid interest at an annual rate of 6%. Interest on the 2015 Notes was payable semi-annually on May 30th and November 30th of each year. We had the option to redeem some or all of the 2015 Notes at a make-whole redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest. In December 2013, we redeemed all of our 2015 Notes for a redemption price that included the outstanding principal amount of $150.0 million and a prepayment premium of $11.1 million, which is included in other expense, net. The transaction also resulted in the write-off of $2.8 million for the remaining unamortized derivative losses for previously settled cash flow hedges and the write-off of $0.2 million for the remaining deferred debt issuance costs. Both of these amounts are included in interest expense.
5% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2021. On October 25, 2011, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due in 2021 in a registered public offering and received $496.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance. The 2021 Notes were issued at 99.372% of the principal amount, which resulted in a discount of $3.1 million. As of
December 29, 2013, the 2021 Notes had an aggregate carrying value of $497.4 million, net of $2.6 million of unamortized original issue discount. The 2021 Notes mature in November 2021 and bear interest at an annual rate of 5%. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15th and November 15th each year. Prior to August 15, 2021 (three months prior to their maturity date), we may redeem the 2021 Notes in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect to the 2021 Notes being redeemed, discounted on a semi-annual basis, at the Treasury Rate plus 45 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest. At any time on or after August 15, 2021 (three months prior to their maturity date), we may redeem the 2021 Notes, at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the 2021 Notes ) and a contemporaneous downgrade of the 2021 Notes below investment grade, each holder of 2021 Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase such holder's 2021 Notes for 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of December 29, 2013.
Financing Lease Obligations. In September 2012, we entered into agreements with the lessors of buildings that we are currently occupying and leasing to expand those buildings. We provided a portion of the funds needed for the construction of the additions to the buildings, which resulted in us being considered the owner of the buildings during the construction period. At the end of the construction period, we will not be reimbursed by the lessors for all of the construction costs. We are therefore deemed to have continuing involvement and the leases will qualify as financing leases under sale-leaseback accounting guidance, representing debt obligations for us and non-cash investing and financing activities. As a result, we capitalized $29.3 million in property and equipment, net, representing the fair value of the buildings with a corresponding increase to debt. We have also capitalized $11.5 million in additional construction costs necessary to complete the renovations to the buildings, which were funded by the lessors, with a corresponding increase to debt. At December 29, 2013, we had $40.3 million recorded for these financing lease obligations, of which $2.6 million was recorded as short-term debt and $37.7 million was recorded as long-term debt. At December 30, 2012, we had $34.6 million recorded for these financing lease obligations, of which $1.7 million was recorded as short-term debt and $32.9 million was recorded as long-term debt. The buildings are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases to their estimated residual values, which will equal the remaining financing obligation at the end of the lease term. At the end of the lease term, the remaining balances in property, plant and equipment, net and debt will be reversed against each other.
Dividends
Our Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share in each quarter of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, resulting in an annual dividend rate of $0.28 per share. At December 29, 2013, we had accrued $7.9 million for dividends declared on October 24, 2013 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, payable in February 2014. On January 24, 2014, we announced that our Board had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 that will be payable in May 2014. In the future, our Board may determine to reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.
Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at December 29, 2013 for continuing and discontinued operations. Purchase commitments are minimal and have been excluded from this table:
____________________________
(1)
The credit facility borrowings carry variable interest rates; the amount included in this table does not include interest obligations. On January 8, 2014, we refinanced our debt held under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility and entered into a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility, with an initial maturity of January 8, 2019.
(2)
The 2021 Notes include interest obligations.
(3)
As of December 29, 2013 the 2021 Notes had a carrying value of $497.4 million.
(4)
We do not expect to cash settle any uncertain tax positions during fiscal year 2014. We have excluded $20.2 million, including accrued interest, net of tax benefits, and penalties, from the amount related to our uncertain tax positions as we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period of related future payments.
Capital Expenditures
During fiscal year 2014, we expect to invest an amount for capital expenditures similar to that in fiscal year 2013, primarily to introduce new products, to improve our operating processes, to shift the production capacity to lower cost locations, and to develop information technology. We expect to use our available cash and internally generated funds to fund these expenditures.
Other Potential Liquidity Considerations
At December 29, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $173.2 million, of which $168.6 million was held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries, and we had $291.0 million of additional borrowing capacity available under a senior unsecured revolving credit facility. We had no other liquid investments at December 29, 2013.
We utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies to ensure that our worldwide cash is available in the locations in which it is needed. Of the $168.6 million of cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries at December 29, 2013, we would incur U.S. taxes on approximately $145.0 million if transferred to the U.S. without proper planning. We expect the remaining accumulated non-U.S. cash balances, that may not be transferred to the U.S. without incurring U.S. taxes, will remain outside of the U.S. and that we will meet U.S. liquidity needs through future cash flows, use of U.S. cash balances, external borrowings, or some combination of these sources.
On October 24, 2012, our Board authorized us to repurchase up to 6.0 million shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"). The Repurchase Program will expire on October 24, 2014 unless terminated earlier by our Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During fiscal year 2013, we repurchased approximately 3.6 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $123.0 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. As of December 29, 2013, approximately 2.4 million shares authorized by our Board under the Repurchase Program remained available for repurchase.
Our Board has authorized us to repurchase shares of common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to our equity incentive plans. During fiscal year 2013, we repurchased 127,544 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $4.4 million.
The repurchased shares have been reflected as a reduction in shares outstanding, but remain available to be reissued with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in
connection with corporate programs. If we continue to repurchase shares, the Repurchase Program will be funded using our existing financial resources, including cash and cash equivalents, and our existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
Distressed global financial markets could adversely impact general economic conditions by reducing liquidity and credit availability, creating increased volatility in security prices, widening credit spreads and decreasing valuations of certain investments. The widening of credit spreads may create a less favorable environment for certain of our businesses and may affect the fair value of financial instruments that we issue or hold. Increases in credit spreads, as well as limitations on the availability of credit at rates we consider to be reasonable, could affect our ability to borrow under future potential facilities on a secured or unsecured basis, which may adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations. In difficult global financial markets, we may be forced to fund our operations at a higher cost, or we may be unable to raise as much funding as we need to support our business activities.
Our pension plans have not experienced a material impact on liquidity or counterparty exposure due to the volatility and uncertainty in the credit markets. With respect to plans outside of the United States, we expect to contribute $11.1 million in the aggregate during fiscal year 2014. We could potentially have to make additional funding payments in future periods for all pension plans. During fiscal year 2013, we made contributions of $37.0 million for the 2012 plan year to our defined benefit pension plan in the United States. During fiscal year 2013, we contributed $20.2 million, in the aggregate, to plans outside of the United States, which includes an additional contribution of $10.0 million to our defined benefit pension plan in the United Kingdom. During fiscal year 2012, we made a contribution of $17.0 million for the 2011 plan year to our defined benefit pension plans in the United States, and $10.9 million in the aggregate to our defined benefit pension plans outside of the United States. We expect to use existing cash and external sources to satisfy future contributions to our pension plans.
We entered into a strategic agreement in fiscal year 2012 under which we acquired certain intangible assets and received a license to certain core technology for an analytics and data discovery platform, as well as the exclusive right to distribute the platform in certain scientific research and development markets. During fiscal year 2012, we paid $6.8 million for net intangible assets and $25.0 million for prepaid royalties. During fiscal year 2013, we extended the existing agreement for an additional year. In addition, we entered into a new agreement to expand the distribution rights to the clinical and other related markets and acquired additional intangible assets. During fiscal year 2013, we paid $7.0 million for net intangible assets and $40.3 million for prepaid royalties. We do not expect to pay any additional prepaid royalties within the next twelve months. We expense royalties as revenue is recognized.
On August 22, 2013, we sold one of our facilities located in Boston, Massachusetts for net proceeds of $47.6 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the property, we entered into a lease agreement to lease back the property for our continued use. The lease has an initial term of 15 years and we have the right to extend the term of the lease for two additional periods of ten years each. The lease is accounted for as an operating lease and we have deferred $26.5 million of gains which will be amortized in operating expenses over the initial lease term of 15 years. During fiscal year 2013, we amortized $0.6 million of deferred gains related to the lease. At December 29, 2013, $25.9 million of these deferred gains remained to be amortized.
Effects of Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 we adopted new guidance on additional disclosure requirements of other comprehensive income. This new guidance requires the presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income were not material for fiscal years 2013, 2012 or 2011. See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K for additional details.
Effects of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) and are adopted by us as of the specified effective dates. We believe that the impact of recently issued pronouncements will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows or do not apply to our operations.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, warranty costs, bad debts, inventories, accounting for business combinations and dispositions, long-lived assets, income taxes, restructuring, pensions and other
postretirement benefits, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition. We record product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. For products that include installation, and if the installation meets the criteria to be considered a separate element, we recognize product revenue upon delivery, and recognition of installation revenue is recognized when the installation is complete. For revenue that includes customer-specified acceptance criteria, we recognize revenue after the acceptance criteria have been met. Certain of our products require specialized installation. Revenue for these products is deferred until installation is completed. We defer revenue from services and recognize it over the contractual period, or as services are rendered.
In limited circumstances, we have arrangements that include multiple elements that are delivered at different points of time, such as revenue from products and services with a remaining service or storage component, such as cord blood processing and storage. For these arrangements, the revenue is allocated to each of the deliverables based upon their relative selling prices as determined by a selling-price hierarchy. A deliverable in an arrangement qualifies as a separate unit of accounting if the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. A delivered item that does not qualify as a separate unit of accounting is combined with the other undelivered items in the arrangement and revenue is recognized for those combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting. The selling price used for each deliverable is based upon vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") if such evidence is available, third-party evidence ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, and management's best estimate of selling price ("BESP") if neither VSOE nor TPE are available. TPE is the price of our or any competitor's largely interchangeable products or services in stand-alone sales to similarly-situated customers. BESP is the price at which we would sell the deliverable if it were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis, considering market conditions and entity-specific factors.
Revenue from software licenses and services was 5% of our total revenue for fiscal year 2013, 3% of our total revenue for fiscal year 2012, and 2% of our total revenue for fiscal year 2011. We sell our software licenses with maintenance services and, in some cases, also with consulting services. For the undelivered elements, we determine VSOE of fair value to be the price charged when the undelivered element is sold separately. We determine VSOE for maintenance sold in connection with a software license based on the amount that was separately charged for the maintenance renewal period. We determine VSOE for consulting services by reference to the amount charged for similar engagements when a software license sale is not involved.
We recognize revenue from software licenses sold together with maintenance and/or consulting services upon shipment using the residual method, provided that the above criteria have been met. If VSOE of fair value for the undelivered elements cannot be established, we defer all revenue from the arrangement until the earlier of the point at which such sufficient VSOE does exist or all elements of the arrangement have been delivered, or if the only undelivered element is maintenance, then we recognize the entire fee ratably over the maintenance period.
The majority of our sales relate to specific manufactured products or units rather than long-term customized projects, therefore we generally do not experience significant changes in original estimates. Further, we have not experienced any significant refunds or promotional allowances that require significant estimation.
Warranty costs. We provide for estimated warranty costs for products at the time of their sale. Warranty liabilities are estimated using expected future repair costs based on historical labor and material costs incurred during the warranty period.
Allowances for doubtful accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We generally compute our allowance for doubtful accounts by (i) applying specific percentage reserves on accounts that are past due and deemed uncollectible; and (ii) specifically reserving for customers known to be in financial difficulty. Therefore, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate beyond our estimates, we may have to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts. This would reduce our earnings. Accounts are written-off only when all methods of recovery have been exhausted.
Inventory valuation. We initially value inventory at actual cost to purchase and/or manufacture. We periodically review these values to ascertain that market value of the inventory continues to exceed its recorded cost. Generally, reductions in value of inventory below cost are caused by our maintenance of stocks of products in excess of demand, or technological obsolescence of the inventory. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and, when necessary, record provisions for
excess and obsolete inventory based on either our estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements, or historical trailing usage of the product. If our sales do not materialize as planned or at historic levels, we may have to increase our reserve for excess and obsolete inventory. This would reduce our earnings. If actual market conditions are more favorable than anticipated, inventory previously written down may be sold, resulting in lower costs of sales and higher income from operations than expected in that period.
Business combinations. Business combinations are accounted for at fair value. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses; previously held equity interests are valued at fair value upon the acquisition of a controlling interest; in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) is recorded at fair value as an intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination are expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date affect income tax expense. All changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in current period earnings. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these estimates, the amounts recorded in the financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets, or the recognition of additional consideration which would be expensed.
Value of long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangibles. We carry a variety of long-lived assets on our consolidated balance sheets including property and equipment, investments, identifiable intangible assets, and goodwill. We periodically review the carrying value of all of these assets based, in part, upon current estimated market values and our projections of anticipated future cash flows. We undertake this review (i) on an annual basis for assets such as goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets and (ii) on a periodic basis for other long-lived assets when facts and circumstances suggest that cash flows related to those assets may be diminished. Any impairment charge that we record reduces our earnings. The goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process. The first step is the comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The second step measures the amount of an impairment loss, and is only performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. We perform the annual impairment assessment on the later of January 1 or the first day of each fiscal year. This same impairment test will be performed at other times during the course of the year should an event occur which suggests that the recoverability of goodwill should be reconsidered. Non-amortizing intangibles are also subject to an annual impairment test. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the non-amortizing intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a non-amortizing intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess is recognized. In addition, we currently evaluate the remaining useful life of our non-amortizing intangible assets at least annually to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If events or circumstances indicate that the useful lives of non-amortizing intangible assets are no longer indefinite, the assets will be tested for impairment. These intangible assets will then be amortized prospectively over their estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as other intangible assets that are subject to amortization.
Through fiscal year 2013, we conducted annual goodwill impairment assessments for our reporting units: analytical sciences and laboratory services, diagnostics, life sciences technology and medical imaging. We completed the annual goodwill impairment test using measurement dates of January 1, 2013 and January 2, 2012, and concluded based on the first step of the process that there was no goodwill impairment. At January 1, 2013, the fair value exceeded the carrying value by more than 30.0% for each reporting unit. While we believe that our estimates of current value are reasonable, if actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used including such items as future cash flows and the volatility inherent in markets which we serve, impairment charges against the carrying value of those assets could be required in the future. As part of integrating our recent acquisitions, in fiscal year 2012, we decided that prospectively we would primarily focus on the PerkinElmer trade name. Accordingly, we undertook a review of certain of our trade names within our portfolio as part of a realignment of our marketing strategy, which resulted in pre-tax impairment charges of $74.2 million in fiscal year 2012. We concluded that the impairment for trade names was not a triggering event for goodwill because the impairment occurred as a result of our decision to phase out certain trade names. We do not believe that our future cash flows will be significantly impacted by these changes. During fiscal year 2013, we recorded a charge of $6.7 million for the impairment of certain long-lived assets within our Human Health segment, as the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets were not recoverable and exceeded their fair value. We recorded a charge of $3.0 million for the impairment of intangible assets during fiscal year 2011 within our Human Health segment for the full impairment of license agreements that we no longer intend to use. These non-cash impairments of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, have been recorded as a separate component of operating expenses.
Employee compensation and benefits. We sponsor both funded and unfunded U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits. Retirement and postretirement benefit plans are a significant cost of doing business, and represent obligations that will be ultimately settled far in the future, and therefore are subject to estimation. Retirement and postretirement benefit plan expenses are allocated to cost of revenue, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses, in our consolidated statements of operations. We immediately recognize actuarial gains and losses in operating results in the year in which the gains and losses occur. Actuarial gains and losses are measured annually as of fiscal year end and accordingly will be recorded in the fourth quarter, unless we are required to perform an interim remeasurement.
We recognized income of $18.2 million in fiscal year 2013, a loss of $35.3 million in fiscal year 2012 and a loss of $75.0 million in fiscal year 2011 for our retirement and postretirement benefit plans, which includes the charge for the mark-to-market adjustment for the postretirement benefit plans, which generally is recorded in the fourth quarter. The gain or expense related to the mark-to-market adjustment on postretirement benefit plans was a pre-tax income of $17.6 million in fiscal year 2013, a pre-tax loss of $31.8 million in fiscal year 2012 and a pre-tax loss of $67.9 million in fiscal year 2011. We expect expenses of approximately $1.7 million in fiscal year 2014 for our retirement and postretirement benefit plans, excluding the charge for or benefit from the mark-to-market adjustment. It is difficult to reliably calculate and predict whether there will be a mark-to-market adjustment in fiscal year 2014. Mark-to-market adjustments are primarily driven by events and circumstances beyond our control, including changes in interest rates and the performance of the financial markets. To the extent the discount rates decrease or the value of our pension and postretirement investments decrease, mark-to market charges to operations will be recorded in fiscal year 2014. Conversely, to the extent the discount rates increase or the value of our pension and postretirement investments increase more than expected, mark-to market income will be recorded in fiscal year 2014. Pension accounting is intended to reflect the recognition of future benefit costs over the employee’s approximate service period based on the terms of the plans and the investment and funding decisions made. We are required to make assumptions regarding such variables as the expected long-term rate of return on assets and the discount rate applied, to determine service cost and interest cost, in order to arrive at expected pension income or expense for the year.
As of December 29, 2013, we estimate the expected long-term rate of return on assets in our pension portfolios in the United States to be 7.25% and to be 5.30% for all plans outside the United States. In addition, as of December 29, 2013 we estimate the discount rate for our pension portfolios in the United States to be 4.77% and to be 3.77% for all plans outside the United States. We have analyzed the rates of return on assets used and determined that these rates are reasonable based on the plans’ historical performance relative to the overall markets in the countries where we invest the assets, as well as our current expectations for long-term rates of returns for our pension and other postretirement benefit assets. Our management will continue to assess the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumptions for each plan based on relevant market conditions, and will make adjustments to the assumptions as appropriate. Discount rate assumptions have been, and continue to be, based on the prevailing market long-term interest rates corresponding with expected benefit payments at the measurement date.
If any of our assumptions were to change as of December 29, 2013, our pension plan expenses would also change.
We have reduced the volatility in our healthcare costs provided to our retirees by adopting a defined dollar plan feature in fiscal year 2001. Under the defined dollar plan feature, our total annual liability for healthcare costs to any one retiree is limited to a fixed dollar amount, regardless of the nature or cost of the healthcare needs of that retiree. Our maximum future liability, therefore, cannot be increased by future changes in the cost of healthcare.
Restructuring activities. Our consolidated financial statements detail specific charges relating to restructuring activities as well as the actual spending that has occurred against the resulting accruals. Our pre-tax restructuring charges are estimates based on our preliminary assessments of (i) severance benefits to be granted to employees, based on known benefit formulas and identified job grades, (ii) costs to abandon certain facilities based on known lease costs of sub-rental income and (iii) impairment of assets as discussed above under “Value of long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangibles.” Because these accruals are estimates, they are subject to change as a result of deviations from initial restructuring plans or subsequent information that may come to our attention. For example, actual severance costs may be less than anticipated if employees voluntarily leave prior to the time at which they would be entitled to severance, or if anticipated legal hurdles in foreign jurisdictions prove to be less onerous than expected. In addition, unanticipated successes or difficulties in terminating leases and other contractual obligations may lead to changes in estimates. When such changes in estimates occur, they are reflected in our consolidated financial statements on our consolidated statements of operations line entitled “restructuring and contract termination charges, net.”
Dispositions. When we record the disposition of an asset or discontinuance of an operation, we make an estimate relative to the amount we expect to realize on the sale or disposition. This estimate is based on a variety of factors, including current interest in the market, alternative markets for the assets, and other relevant factors. If anticipated proceeds are less than the current carrying amount of the asset or operation, we record a loss. If anticipated proceeds are greater than the current carrying amount of the asset or operation, we recognize a gain net of expected contingencies when the transaction has been consummated. Accordingly, we may realize amounts different than were first estimated. During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, we recorded $1.8 million in pre-tax losses from the disposition of discontinued operations. Any such changes decrease or increase current earnings.
Income taxes. Our business operations are global in nature, and we are subject to taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Tax laws and tax rates vary substantially in these jurisdictions, and are subject to change given the political and economic climate in those countries. We report and pay income tax based on operational results and applicable law. Our tax provision contemplates tax rates currently in effect to determine both our current and deferred tax provisions. Any significant fluctuation in rates or changes in tax laws could cause our estimates of taxes we anticipate either paying or recovering in the future to change. Such changes could lead to either increases or decreases in our effective tax rate.
Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related tax assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are operational decisions, transactions, facts and circumstances, and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is not certain. Furthermore, our tax positions are periodically subject to challenge by taxing authorities throughout the world. Every quarter we review our tax positions in each significant taxing jurisdiction in the process of evaluating our unrecognized tax benefits. Adjustments are made to our unrecognized tax benefits when: (i) facts and circumstances regarding a tax position change, causing a change in our judgment regarding that tax position; (ii) a tax position is effectively settled with a tax authority at a differing amount; and/or (iii) the statute of limitations expires regarding a tax position. Any significant impact as a result of changes in underlying facts, law, tax rates, tax audit, or review could lead to adjustments to our income tax expense, our effective tax rate, or our cash flow.
Additionally, we have established valuation allowances against a variety of deferred tax assets, including state net operating loss carryforwards, state income tax credit carryforwards, and certain foreign tax attributes. Valuation allowances take into consideration our ability to use these deferred tax assets and reduce the value of such items to the amount that is deemed more likely than not to be recoverable. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In projecting future taxable income, we begin with historical results adjusted for the results of discontinued operations and incorporate assumptions about the future pretax operating income adjusted for items that do not have tax consequences. These assumptions about future taxable income require significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying business. Changes in our assumptions regarding the appropriate amount for valuation allowances could result in the increase or decrease in the valuation allowance, with a corresponding charge or benefit to our tax provision.
Taxes have not been provided on unremitted earnings of international subsidiaries that we consider indefinitely reinvested because we plan to keep these amounts indefinitely reinvested overseas except for instances where we can remit such earnings to the U.S. without an associated net tax cost. Our indefinite reinvestment determination is based on the future operational and capital requirements. As of December 29, 2013, the amount of foreign earnings that we have the intent and ability to keep invested outside the U.S. indefinitely and for which no U.S. tax cost has been provided was approximately $607.0 million. It is not practical to calculate the unrecognized deferred tax liability on those earnings.
Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments, derivatives, marketable securities and accounts receivable. We believe we had no significant concentrations of credit risk as of December 29, 2013.
We use derivative instruments as part of our risk management strategy only, and include derivatives utilized as economic hedges that are not designated as hedging instruments. By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. We enter into derivative instruments with major investment grade financial institutions and have policies to monitor the credit risk of those counterparties. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading or other speculative purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. Approximately 60% of our business is conducted outside of the United States, generally in foreign currencies. Therefore, the fluctuations in foreign currency can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business.
In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into foreign exchange contracts for periods consistent with our committed exposures to mitigate the effect of foreign currency movements on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Transactions covered by hedge contracts include intercompany and third-party receivables and payables. The contracts are primarily denominated in European and Asian currencies, have maturities that do not exceed 12 months, have no cash requirements until maturity, and are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses on our foreign currency contracts are recognized immediately in earnings for hedges designated as fair value and, for hedges designated as cash flow, the related unrealized gains or losses are deferred as a component of other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred gains and losses are recognized in income in the period in which the underlying anticipated transaction occurs and impacts earnings.
Principal hedged currencies include the British Pound, Euro, Japanese Yen and Singapore Dollar. We held forward foreign exchange contracts, designated as fair value hedges, with U.S. equivalent notional amounts totaling $138.4 million at December 29, 2013 and $64.3 million at December 30, 2012, and the fair value of these foreign currency derivative contracts was insignificant. The gains and losses realized on foreign currency derivative contracts are not material. The duration of these contracts was generally 30 days or less during fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011.
As of December 29, 2013, we had no cash flow hedges outstanding, and as of December 30, 2012, we had two outstanding cash flow hedges. During fiscal year 2012, we entered into two forward foreign exchange contracts with settlement dates in fiscal year 2013 and combined Euro denominated notional amounts of €50.0 million, designated as cash flow hedges. During fiscal year 2013, we settled these Euro denominated forward foreign exchange contracts. The derivative gains were amortized into interest and other expense, net when the hedged exposures affected interest and other expense, net. Such amounts were not material for fiscal year 2013.
In May 2008, we settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million upon the issuance of our 2015 Notes, and recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive income. During each of fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, we amortized a pre-tax loss of $2.0 million into interest and other expense, net. In addition, during fiscal year 2013, we redeemed all of our 2015 Notes and recognized a pre-tax loss of $2.8 million for the remaining unamortized derivative losses into interest and other expense, net.
Market Risk
Market Risk. We are exposed to market risk, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to our policies to hedge against known or forecasted market exposures.
Foreign Exchange Risk. The potential change in foreign currency exchange rates offers a substantial risk to us, as approximately 60% of our business is conducted outside of the United States, generally in foreign currencies. Our risk management strategy currently uses forward contracts to mitigate certain balance sheet foreign currency transaction exposures. The intent of these economic hedges is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures, with gains and losses resulting from the forward contracts that hedge these exposures. Moreover, we are able to partially mitigate the impact that fluctuations in currencies have on our net income as a result of our manufacturing facilities located in countries outside the United States, material sourcing and other spending which occur in countries outside the United States, resulting in natural hedges.
Although we attempt to manage our foreign currency exchange risk through the above activities, when the U.S. dollar weakens against other currencies in which we transact business, generally sales and net income will be positively but not proportionately impacted.
Foreign Currency Risk-Value-at-Risk Disclosure. We utilize a Value-at-Risk model to determine the potential earning/fair value exposures presented by our foreign currency related financial instruments. As discussed above, we seek to minimize this exposure through our hedging program. Our Value-at-Risk computation is based on the Monte Carlo simulation, utilizing a 95% confidence interval and a holding period of 30 days. As of December 29, 2013, this computation estimated that there is a 5% chance that the market value of the underlying exposures and the corresponding derivative instruments either increase or decrease due to foreign currency fluctuations by more than $0.6 million. This Value-At-Risk measure is consistent with our financial statement disclosures relative to our foreign currency hedging program. Specifically, during each of the four quarters ended in fiscal year 2013, the Value-At-Risk ranged between $0.4 million and $1.0 million, with an average of approximately $0.6 million.
Interest Rate Risk. As described above in “Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources,” our debt portfolio includes variable rate instruments. Fluctuations in interest rates can therefore have a direct impact on both our short-term cash flows, as they relate to interest, and our earnings. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we periodically enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to our policies to hedge against known or forecasted interest rate exposures.
In May 2008, we settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million upon the issuance of our 2015 Notes, and recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive income. During each of fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, we amortized a pre-tax loss of $2.0 million into interest and other expense, net. In addition, during fiscal year 2013, we redeemed all of our 2015 Notes and recognized a pre-tax loss of $2.8 million for the remaining unamortized derivative losses into interest and other expense, net.
Interest Rate Risk-Sensitivity. As of December 29, 2013, our debt portfolio consisted of $397.0 million of variable rate debt. In addition, our cash and cash equivalents, for which we receive interest at variable rates, were $173.2 million at December 29, 2013. Our current earnings exposure for changes in interest rates can be summarized as follows:
(i) Changes in interest rates can cause interest charges on our variable rate debt, consisting of $397.0 million of revolving debt facilities, to fluctuate. An increase of 10%, or approximately 15 basis points, in current interest rates would cause an additional pre-tax charge to our earnings of $0.6 million for fiscal year 2014.
(ii) Changes in interest rates can cause our cash flows relative to interest payments on variable rate debt to fluctuate. As described above, an increase of 10%, or approximately 15 basis points, in current interest rates would cause our cash outflows to increase by $0.6 million for fiscal year 2014.
(iii) Changes in interest rates can cause our interest income and cash flows to fluctuate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of PerkinElmer, Inc.
Waltham, Massachusetts
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PerkinElmer, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2013. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 PerkinElmer, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2013, 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.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2013, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 25, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1:
Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations: PerkinElmer, Inc. is a leading provider of products, services and solutions to the diagnostics, research, environmental, industrial and laboratory services markets. Through its advanced technologies, solutions and services, critical issues are addressed that help to improve the health and safety of people and their environment. The results are reported within two reporting segments: Human Health and Environmental Health.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PerkinElmer, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company has two operating segments; Human Health and Environmental Health. The Company’s Human Health segment concentrates on developing diagnostics, tools and applications to help detect diseases earlier and more accurately and to accelerate the discovery and development of critical new therapies. Within the Human Health segment, the Company serves both the diagnostics and research markets. The Company’s Environmental Health segment provides products, services and solutions to facilitate the creation of safer food and consumer products, more secure surroundings and efficient energy resources. The Environmental Health segment serves the environmental, industrial and laboratory services markets.
The Company realigned its organization at the beginning of fiscal year 2013. The Company's Informatics business, as well as its field service on products previously sold by the Company's former Bio-discovery business, were moved from the Environmental Health segment into the Human Health segment. The results reported for fiscal year 2013 reflect this new alignment of the Company's operating segments. Financial information relating to fiscal years 2012 and 2011 has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the changes to the operating segments.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. The Company reports fiscal years under a 52/53 week format. Under this method, certain years will contain 53 weeks. Each of the fiscal years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012 included 52 weeks. The fiscal year ending December 28, 2014 will also include 52 weeks.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from December 29, 2013 through the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements and has determined that no material subsequent events have occurred that would affect the information presented in these consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Policies and Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition: The Company’s product revenue is recorded when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. For products that include installation, and if the installation meets the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue is recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue is recognized when the installation is complete. For revenue that includes customer-specified acceptance criteria, revenue is recognized after the acceptance criteria have been met. Certain of the Company’s products require specialized installation. Revenue for these products is deferred until installation is completed. Revenue from services is deferred and recognized over the contractual period, or as services are rendered.
In limited circumstances, the Company has arrangements that include multiple elements that are delivered at different points of time, such as revenue from products and services with a remaining service or storage component, such as cord blood processing and storage. For these arrangements, the revenue is allocated to each of the deliverables based upon their relative selling prices as determined by a selling-price hierarchy. A deliverable in an arrangement qualifies as a separate unit of accounting if the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. A delivered item that does not qualify as a separate unit of accounting is combined with the other undelivered items in the arrangement and revenue is recognized for those combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting. The selling price used for each deliverable is based upon vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") if such evidence is available, third-party evidence ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, and management's best estimate of selling price ("BESP") if neither VSOE nor TPE are available. TPE is the price of the Company's or any competitor's largely interchangeable products or services in stand-alone sales to similarly-situated customers.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
BESP is the price at which the Company would sell the deliverable if it were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis, considering market conditions and entity-specific factors.
Revenue from software licenses and services was 5% of the Company's total revenue for fiscal year 2013, 3% of the Company's total revenue for fiscal year 2012, and 2% of the Company's total revenue for fiscal year 2011. The Company sells its software licenses with maintenance services and, in some cases, also with consulting services. For the undelivered elements, the Company determines VSOE of fair value to be the price charged when the undelivered element is sold separately. The Company determines VSOE for maintenance sold in connection with a software license based on the amount that will be separately charged for the maintenance renewal period. The Company determines VSOE for consulting services by reference to the amount charged for similar engagements when a software license sale is not involved.
The Company recognizes revenue from software licenses sold together with maintenance and/or consulting services upon shipment using the residual method, provided that the above criteria have been met. If VSOE of fair value for the undelivered elements cannot be established, the Company defers all revenue from the arrangement until the earlier of the point at which such sufficient VSOE does exist or all elements of the arrangement have been delivered, or if the only undelivered element is maintenance, then the Company recognizes the entire fee ratably over the maintenance period.
The Company sells products and accessories predominantly through its direct sales force. As a result, the use of distributors is generally limited to geographic regions where the Company has no direct sales force. The Company does not offer product return or exchange rights (other than those relating to defective goods under warranty) or price protection allowances to its customers, including its distributors. Payment terms granted to distributors are the same as those granted to end-user customers and payments are not dependent upon the distributors’ receipt of payment from their end-user customers. Sales incentives related to distributor revenue are also the same as those for end-user customers.
Service revenues represent the Company’s service offerings including service contracts, field service including related time and materials, diagnostic testing, cord blood processing and storage, and training. Service revenues are recognized as the service is performed. Revenues for service and storage contracts are recognized over the contract period.
Warranty Costs: The Company provides for estimated warranty costs for products at the time of their sale. Warranty liabilities are estimated using expected future repair costs based on historical labor and material costs incurred during the warranty period.
Shipping and Handling Costs: The Company reports shipping and handling revenue in revenue, to the extent they are billed to customers, and the associated costs in cost of product revenue.
Inventories: Inventories, which include material, labor and manufacturing overhead, are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventories are accounted for using the first-in, first-out method of determining inventory costs. Inventory quantities on-hand are regularly reviewed, and where necessary, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory are recorded based primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements.
Income Taxes: The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits such as net operating loss carryforwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established for any deferred tax asset for which realization is not more likely than not. With respect to earnings expected to be indefinitely reinvested offshore, the Company does not accrue tax for the repatriation of such foreign earnings.
The Company provides reserves for potential payments of tax to various tax authorities related to uncertain tax positions and other issues. These reserves are based on a determination of whether and how much of a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings or positions is more likely than not to be realized following resolution of any potential contingencies present related to the tax benefit. Potential interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions is recorded as a component of income tax expense. See Note 6, below, for additional details.
Property, Plant and Equipment: The Company depreciates plant and equipment using the straight-line method over its estimated useful lives, which generally fall within the following ranges: buildings- 10 to 40 years; leasehold improvements-estimated useful life or remaining term of lease, whichever is shorter; and machinery and equipment- 3 to 7 years. Certain tooling costs are capitalized and amortized over a 3-year life, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Asset Retirement Obligations: The Company records obligations associated with its lease obligations, the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset-retirement costs in accordance with authoritative guidance on asset retirement obligations. The Company reviews legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from contractual obligations or the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. If it is determined that a legal obligation exists, regardless of whether the obligation is conditional on a future event, the fair value of the liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset, and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The difference between the gross expected future cash flow and its present value is accreted over the life of the related lease as an operating expense. The amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements are not material to any year presented.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits: The Company sponsors both funded and unfunded U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits. The Company immediately recognizes actuarial gains and losses in operating results in the year in which the gains and losses occur. Actuarial gains and losses are measured annually as of fiscal year end and accordingly will be recorded in the fourth quarter, unless the Company is required to perform an interim remeasurement. The remaining components of pension expense, primarily service and interest costs and assumed return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis. The Company’s funding policy provides that payments to the U.S. pension trusts shall at least be equal to the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Non-U.S. plans are accrued for, but generally not fully funded, and benefits are paid from operating funds.
Translation of Foreign Currencies: For foreign operations, asset and liability accounts are translated at current exchange rates; income and expenses are translated using weighted average exchange rates for the reporting period. Resulting translation adjustments, as well as translation gains and losses from certain intercompany transactions considered permanent in nature, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses arising from transactions and translation of period-end balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are included in other expense, net, and were not material.
Business Combinations: Business combinations are accounted for at fair value. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses; previously held equity interests are valued at fair value upon the acquisition of a controlling interest; in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) is recorded at fair value as an intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination are expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date affect income tax expense. All changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in current period earnings. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these estimates, the amounts recorded in the financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets, or the recognition of additional consideration which would be expensed.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: The Company’s intangible assets consist of (i) goodwill, which is not being amortized; (ii) indefinite lived intangibles, which consist of certain trademarks and trade names that are not subject to amortization; and (iii) amortizing intangibles, which consist of patents, trade names and trademarks, licenses, customer relationships, and purchased technologies, which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives.
The process of testing goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of the applicable reporting units. The test consists of a two-step process. The first step is the comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The second step measures the amount of an impairment loss, and is only performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. This annual impairment assessment is performed by the Company on the later of January 1 or the first day of each fiscal year. This same impairment test will be performed at other times during the course of the year, should an event occur which suggests that the recoverability of goodwill should be reconsidered. Non-amortizing intangibles are also subject to an annual impairment test. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the non-amortizing intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a non-amortizing intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess is recognized. In addition, the Company evaluates the remaining useful life of its non-amortizing intangible assets at least annually to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If events or circumstances indicate that the useful lives of non-amortizing intangible assets are no longer indefinite, the assets will be tested for impairment. These intangible
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
assets will then be amortized prospectively over their estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as other intangible assets that are subject to amortization. Recoverability of amortizing intangible assets is assessed only when events have occurred that may give rise to impairment. When a potential impairment has been identified, forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operations to which the asset relates are compared to the current carrying value of the long-lived assets present in that operation. If such cash flows are less than such carrying amounts, long-lived assets, including such intangibles, are written down to their respective fair values. See Note 12, below, for additional details.
Stock-Based Compensation: The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair value, generally using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value is recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, as expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. The determination of fair value and the timing of expense using option pricing models such as the Black-Scholes model require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected forfeiture rate, life of the option and the expected price volatility of the underlying stock. The Company estimates the expected forfeiture and expected life assumptions based on historical experience. In determining the Company’s expected stock price volatility assumption, the Company reviews both the historical and implied volatility of the Company’s common stock, with implied volatility based on the implied volatility of publicly traded options on the Company’s common stock. The Company has one stock-based compensation plan from which it makes grants, which is described more fully in Note 18, below.
Marketable Securities and Investments: The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. If securities are classified as available for sale, the Company records these investments at their fair values with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Under the cost method of accounting, equity investments in private companies are carried at cost and are adjusted for other-than-temporary declines in fair value, additional investments or distributions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid unrestricted instruments with a purchased maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.
Environmental Matters: The Company accrues for costs associated with the remediation of environmental pollution when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the Company’s proportionate share of the amount can be reasonably estimated. The recorded liabilities have not been discounted.
Research and Development: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The fair value of acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") costs are recorded at fair value as an intangible asset at the acquisition date and amortized once the product is ready for sale or expensed if abandoned.
Restructuring Charges: In recent fiscal years, the Company has undertaken a series of restructuring actions related to the alignment with the Company’s growth strategy, the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and the integration of its business units. In connection with these initiatives, the Company has recorded restructuring charges, as more fully described in Note 4, below. Generally, costs associated with an exit or disposal activity are recognized when the liability is incurred. Costs related to employee separation arrangements requiring future service beyond a specified minimum retention period are recognized over the service period. Costs related to lease terminations are recorded at the fair value of the liability based on the remaining lease rental payments, reduced by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property, at the date the Company ceases use.
Comprehensive Income: In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, requiring the presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income were not material for the fiscal years ending December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012. See Note 19 for additional details.
Comprehensive income is defined as net income or loss and other changes in stockholders’ equity from transactions and other events from sources other than stockholders. Comprehensive income is reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Accounting for gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives depends on the use of the derivative instrument and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently amortized into net earnings when the hedged exposure affects net earnings. Cash flow hedges related to anticipated transactions are designated and documented at the inception of each hedge by matching the terms of the contract to the underlying transaction. The Company classifies the cash flows from hedging transactions in the same categories as the cash flows from the respective hedged items. Once established, cash flow hedges are generally recorded in other comprehensive income, unless an anticipated transaction is no longer likely to occur, and subsequently amortized into net earnings when the hedged exposure affects net earnings. Discontinued or dedesignated cash flow hedges are immediately settled with counterparties, and the related accumulated derivative gains or losses are recognized into net earnings on the consolidated financial statements. Settled cash flow hedges related to forecasted transactions that remain probable are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and are subsequently amortized into net earnings when the hedged exposure affects net earnings. Forward contract effectiveness for cash flow hedges is calculated by comparing the fair value of the contract to the change in value of the anticipated transaction using forward rates on a monthly basis. As of December 29, 2013, the Company had no outstanding cash flow hedges, and as of December 30, 2012, the Company had two outstanding cash flow hedges with Euro denominated notional amounts of €50.0 million. The Company also has entered into foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. These contracts are recorded at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognized into net earnings on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective dates. The Company believes that the impact of recently issued pronouncements will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows or do not apply to the Company's operations.
Note 2:
Business Combinations
Acquisitions in fiscal year 2013
The Company completed the acquisition of four businesses for total consideration of $11.4 million, in cash. As of the closing dates, the Company potentially had to pay additional contingent consideration for the four acquired businesses of up to $2.2 million, which at closing had an estimated fair value of $1.1 million. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of each of the acquired businesses' net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, none of which is tax deductible. The Company reported the operations for these acquisitions within the results of the Company's operations from the acquisition dates. As of December 29, 2013, the purchase accounting allocations related to these acquisitions were preliminary.
Acquisition in fiscal year 2012
Acquisition of Haoyuan Biotech Co., Ltd. In November 2012, the Company acquired all outstanding stock of Shanghai Haoyuan Biotech Co., Ltd. ("Haoyuan"). Haoyuan is a provider of nucleic acid-based blood screening solutions for the blood banking and clinical diagnostics markets. The Company expects this acquisition to extend the Company's capabilities into nucleic acid blood screening, as well as deepen its position in the growing molecular clinical diagnostics market in China. The Company paid the shareholders of Haoyuan $38.0 million in cash for the stock of Haoyuan. The Company recorded a receivable of $2.7 million from the shareholders of Haoyuan as a reduction of purchase price for the settlement of certain contingencies. This receivable was collected in fiscal year 2013. As of the closing date, the Company potentially had to pay the shareholders additional contingent consideration of up to $30.0 million, which at closing had an estimated fair value of $1.9 million. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, none of which is tax deductible. The Company reported the operations for this acquisition within the results of the Company’s Human Health segment from the acquisition date.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The total purchase price has been allocated to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
The weighted average amortization periods of identifiable definite-lived intangible assets for core technology and trade names were 8 years.
Acquisitions in fiscal year 2011
Acquisition of Caliper Life Sciences, Inc. In November 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Caliper Life Sciences, Inc. ("Caliper"). Caliper is a provider of imaging and detection solutions for life sciences research, diagnostics and environmental markets. Caliper develops and sells integrated systems, consisting of instruments, software, reagents, laboratory automation tools, and assay development and discovery services, primarily to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostics companies, and government and other not-for-profit research institutions. The Company paid the shareholders of Caliper $646.3 million in cash for the stock of Caliper. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, none of which is tax deductible. The Company has reported the operations for this acquisition within the results of the Company’s Human Health segment from the acquisition date. Identifiable definite-lived intangible assets, such as core technology, licenses, customer relationships, and trade names, acquired as part of this acquisitions had weighted average amortization periods of 5 years for core technology, 6 years for licenses, 7 years for customer relationships, and 7 years for trade names.
In addition to the Caliper acquisition, the Company completed the acquisition of seven businesses in fiscal year 2011 for total consideration of $333.6 million, in cash. As of the closing dates, the Company potentially had to pay additional contingent consideration for the seven acquired businesses of up to $50.8 million, which at closing had an estimated fair value of $20.1 million. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of each of the acquired businesses' net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, of which $4.7 million is tax deductible. The Company reported the operations for these acquisitions within the results of the operations from the acquisition dates. Identifiable definite-lived intangible assets, such as customer relationships, core technology, IPR&D, licenses, and trade names, acquired as part of these acquisitions had weighted average amortization periods between 7 years and 11 years.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The total purchase price for the acquisitions in fiscal year 2011 have been allocated to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
Caliper's revenue and pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the period from the acquisition date to January 1, 2012 were $29.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined financial results for the Company and Caliper as if the acquisition of Caliper had been completed at the beginning of fiscal year 2011:
The unaudited pro forma information for fiscal year 2011 has been calculated after applying the Company's accounting policies and the impact of acquisition date fair value adjustments. The fiscal year 2011 unaudited pro forma loss from continuing operations was adjusted to exclude approximately $18.1 million of acquisition-related transaction costs. In addition, the fiscal year 2011 unaudited pro forma loss from continuing operations was adjusted to exclude nonrecurring expenses related to the fair value adjustments associated with the acquisition of Caliper that were recorded by the Company related to the completion of this acquisition. The pro forma condensed consolidated financial results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments, such as fair value adjustment to inventory and deferred revenue, increased interest expense on debt obtained to finance the transaction, and increased amortization for the fair value of acquired intangible assets. The pro forma information does not reflect the effect of costs or synergies that would have been expected to result from
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
the integration of the acquisition. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the combination occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2011, or of future results of the consolidated entities.
The Company does not consider the acquisitions completed during fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, with the exception of the Caliper acquisition, to be material to its consolidated results of operations; therefore, the Company is only presenting pro forma financial information of operations for the Caliper acquisition. The aggregate revenue and results of operations for the acquisitions completed during fiscal years 2013 and 2012 for the period from their respective acquisition dates to December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 were minimal. The aggregate revenue for the acquisitions, with the exception of Caliper, completed during fiscal year 2011 for the period from their respective acquisition dates to January 1, 2012 was $32.4 million and the results of operations were minimal. The Company has also determined that the presentation of the results of operations for each of those acquisitions, from the date of acquisition, is impracticable due to the integration of the operations upon acquisition.
As of December 29, 2013 the purchase price allocations for acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2012 and 2011 were final. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2013 were based upon an initial valuation. The Company's estimates and assumptions underlying the initial valuation are subject to change within the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, assets and liabilities related to income taxes and related valuation allowances, and residual goodwill. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair values of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. During the measurement period, the Company will adjust assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. Adjustments to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price during the measurement period require the revision of comparative prior period financial information when reissued in subsequent financial statements. The effect of adjustments to the allocation of the purchase price made during the measurement period would be as if the adjustments had been completed on the acquisition date. The effects of any such adjustments, if material, may cause changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income or expense recognized in prior periods. All changes that do not qualify as adjustments made during the measurement period are included in current period earnings.
Allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions are based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocations. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgments as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair values for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. Contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date, based on the probability that revenue thresholds or product development milestones will be achieved during the earnout period, with changes in the fair value after the acquisition date affecting earnings to the extent it is to be settled in cash. Increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities primarily result from changes in the estimated probabilities of achieving revenue thresholds or product development milestones during the earnout period. The Company may have to pay contingent consideration, related to all acquisitions with open contingency periods, of up to $31.3 million as of December 29, 2013. As of December 29, 2013, the Company has recorded contingent consideration obligations relating to its acquisitions of Dexela Limited, Haoyuan and Tetra Teknolojik Sistemler Limited Sirketi, with an estimated fair value of $4.9 million. The earnout periods for each of these acquisitions do not exceed three years from the acquisition date. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these fair values, the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, require acceleration of the amortization expense of definite-lived intangible assets, or the recognition of additional consideration which would be expensed.
In connection with the purchase price allocations for acquisitions, the Company estimates the fair value of deferred revenue assumed with its acquisitions. The estimated fair value of deferred revenue is determined by the legal performance obligation at the date of acquisition, and is generally based on the nature of the activities to be performed and the related costs to be incurred after the acquisition date. The fair value of an assumed liability related to deferred revenue is estimated based on the current market cost of fulfilling the obligation, plus a normal profit margin thereon. The estimated costs to fulfill the deferred revenue are based on the historical direct costs related to providing the services. The Company does not include any costs associated with selling effort, research and development, or the related fulfillment margins on these costs. In most acquisitions, profit associated with selling effort is excluded because the acquired businesses would have concluded the selling effort on the support contracts prior to the acquisition date. The estimated research and development costs are not included in the fair value determination, as these costs are not deemed to represent a legal obligation at the time of acquisition. The sum of
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
the costs and operating income approximates, in theory, the amount that the Company would be required to pay a third-party to assume the obligation.
Total transaction costs related to acquisition activities for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $0.1 million, $1.2 million and $10.7 million, respectively. These transaction costs were expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Note 3:
Discontinued Operations
As part of the Company’s continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, the Company has discontinued certain businesses. The Company has accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations and, accordingly, has presented the results of operations and related cash flows as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Any remaining liabilities of these businesses have been presented separately, and are reflected within liabilities from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012.
The Company recorded the following pre-tax gains and losses, which have been reported as a net gain or loss on disposition of discontinued operations during the three fiscal years ended:
In June 2010, the Company sold its Photoflash business, which was included in the Company's Environmental Health segment, for $13.5 million, including an adjustment for net working capital, plus potential additional contingent consideration. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $0.5 million in fiscal year 2013 and a pre-tax gain of $2.5 million in fiscal year 2012 for contingent consideration related to this sale.
In August 1999, the Company sold the assets of its Technical Service business for approximately $250.0 million in cash and the assumption by the buyer of certain liabilities of the Technical Services business. During fiscal year 2013, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $2.1 million for a contingency related to this business.
During fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company settled various commitments related to the divestiture of other discontinued operations. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $2.1 million in fiscal year 2011. The fiscal year 2011 pre-tax gain included a $4.0 million gain for contingent consideration related to the sale of the Company's semiconductor business in fiscal year 2006, which was partially offset by a pre-tax loss of $1.8 million related to updating the net working capital adjustment associated with the sale of the Company's Illumination and Detection Solutions ("IDS") business in fiscal year 2010.
The Company recognized a tax benefit of $1.1 million on discontinued operations in fiscal year 2013, a tax provision of $0.9 million on discontinued operations in fiscal year 2012 and a tax benefit of $4.5 million in fiscal year 2011 on discontinued operations. The recognition of $4.5 million income tax benefit in fiscal year 2011 was primarily the result of a change in estimate related to the federal income tax liability associated with the repatriation of the unremitted earnings of the IDS and Photoflash businesses, as further described in Note 6, below, partially offset by the tax provision on the contingent consideration received in fiscal year 2011 related to the sale of the Company's semiconductor business in fiscal year 2006.
Note 4:
Restructuring and Contract Termination Charges, Net
The Company has undertaken a series of restructuring actions related to the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, alignment with the Company’s growth strategy and the integration of its business units. The current portion of restructuring and contract termination charges is recorded in accrued restructuring and contract termination charges, and the long-term portion of restructuring and contract termination charges is recorded in long-term liabilities. The activities associated with these plans have been reported as restructuring and contract termination charges and are included as a component of operating expenses from continuing operations.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The restructuring plans for the fourth and third quarters of fiscal year 2013 were principally intended to shift certain of the Company's research and development resources into a newly opened Center for Innovation.

As a result of the Q3 2012 Plan, and during fiscal year 2012, the Company recognized $3.9 million pre-tax restructuring charges in each of the Human Health and Environmental Health segments related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities. During fiscal year 2013, the Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring reversal of $0.3 million in each of the Human Health and Environmental Health segments due to lower than expected costs associated with remaining severance payments. As part of the Q3 2012 Plan, the Company reduced headcount by 66 employees. All employees were notified of termination under the Q3 2012 Plan by September 30, 2012.
The following table summarizes the Q3 2012 Plan activity:
The Company anticipates that the remaining severance payments of $3.8 million for workforce reductions will be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, as local law requires some severance to be paid in monthly installments through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.
Q2 2012 Restructuring Plan
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company’s management approved a plan to realign operations, research and development resources, and production resources as a result of previous acquisitions (the “Q2 2012 Plan”). As a result of the Q2 2012 Plan, and during fiscal year 2012, the Company recognized a $7.2 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and recognized a $0.2 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities. During fiscal year 2013, the Company recorded an additional $2.1 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Human Health segment for services that were provided for one-time benefits in which the employee was required to render service beyond the legal notification period. In addition during fiscal year 2013, the Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring reversal of $0.3 million due to lower than expected costs associated with remaining severance payments. The Company expects to recognize an additional $0.1 million of incremental restructuring expense in future periods as services are provided for one-time termination benefits in which the employee is required to render service until termination in order to receive the benefits. This expense will be recognized ratably over the required service period. As part of the Q2 2012 Plan, the Company will reduce headcount by 203 employees. All employees were notified of termination under the Q2 2012 Plan by July 1, 2012.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

The Company anticipates that the remaining severance payments of $1.3 million for workforce reductions will be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.
Q1 2012 Restructuring Plan
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company’s management approved a plan to realign operations and production resources as a result of previous acquisitions (the “Q1 2012 Plan”). As a result of the Q1 2012 Plan, and during fiscal year 2012, the Company recognized a $5.4 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space and recognized a $1.0 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities. During fiscal year 2013, the Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring reversal of $0.4 million in the Human Health segment and a pre-tax restructuring reversal of $0.1 million in the Environmental Health segment due to lower than expected costs associated with remaining severance payments. As part of the Q1 2012 Plan, the Company reduced headcount by 112 employees. All employees were notified of termination and the Company completed all actions related to the closure of excess facility space under the Q1 2012 Plan by April 1, 2012.

The Company anticipates that the remaining severance payments of $0.1 million for workforce reductions will be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. The closure of the excess facility space will not require any additional payments.
Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans
The principal actions of the restructuring and integration plans from fiscal years 2001 through 2011 were workforce reductions related to the integration of the Company’s businesses in order to reduce costs and achieve operational efficiencies as well as workforce reductions in both the Human Health and Environmental Health segments by shifting resources into geographic regions and end markets that are more consistent with the Company’s growth strategy. During fiscal year 2013, the Company paid $2.4 million related to these plans and recorded a reversal of $1.1 million primarily related to lower than expected costs associated with workforce reductions within both the Human Health and the Environmental Health segments. As of December 29, 2013, the Company had $7.5 million of remaining liabilities associated with these restructuring and integration plans, primarily for residual lease obligations related to closed facilities and remaining severance payments for workforce reductions in both the Human Health and Environmental Health segments. The Company expects to make payments for these leases, the terms of which vary in length, through fiscal year 2022.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Contract Termination Charges
The Company has terminated various contractual commitments in connection with certain disposal activities and have recorded charges, to the extent applicable, for the costs of terminating these contracts before the end of their terms and the costs that will continue to be incurred for the remaining terms without economic benefit to the Company. The Company recorded an additional pre-tax charge of $0.7 million in fiscal year 2013, a pre-tax charge of $1.5 million in fiscal year 2012 and a pre-tax charge of $2.0 million in fiscal year 2011, primarily as a result of terminating various contractual commitments in the Environmental Health segment. The Company made payments for these obligations of $1.0 million during fiscal year 2013, $2.9 million during fiscal year 2012, and $0.4 million during fiscal year 2011. The remaining balance of these accruals as of December 29, 2013 was $0.3 million.
Note 5:
Interest and Other Expense, Net
Interest and other expense, net, consisted of the following for the fiscal years ended:
In December 2013, the Company redeemed all of its 6% senior unsecured notes due in 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) for a redemption price that included the outstanding principal amount of $150.0 million and a prepayment premium of $11.1 million, which is included in other expense, net. The transaction also resulted in the write-off of $2.8 million for the remaining unamortized derivative losses for previously settled cash flow hedges and the write-off of $0.2 million for the remaining deferred debt issuance costs. Both of these amounts are included in interest expense.
Note 6:
Income Taxes
The Company regularly reviews its tax positions in each significant taxing jurisdiction in the process of evaluating its unrecognized tax benefits. The Company makes adjustments to its unrecognized tax benefits when: (i) facts and circumstances regarding a tax position change, causing a change in management’s judgment regarding that tax position; (ii) a tax position is effectively settled with a tax authority at a differing amount; and/or (iii) the statute of limitations expires regarding a tax position.
The tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows for the fiscal years ended:
The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. At December 29, 2013, the Company had accrued interest and penalties of approximately $4.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively. During fiscal year 2013, the Company recognized a benefit of approximately $3.9 million for interest and a benefit of $3.7 million for penalties in its total tax provision primarily due to settlements and statues that had lapsed. During fiscal year 2012, the Company
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
recognized a charge of approximately $1.1 million for interest and a benefit of $2.2 million for penalties in its total tax provision. During fiscal year 2011, the Company recognized interest and penalties of approximately $0.5 million and zero, respectively, in its total tax provision. At December 29, 2013, the Company had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $39.4 million, of which $33.4 million, if recognized, would affect the continuing operations effective tax rate. The remaining amount, if recognized, would affect discontinued operations.
The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $4.0 million of its uncertain tax positions at December 29, 2013, including accrued interest and penalties, and net of tax benefits, may be resolved over the next twelve months as a result of lapses in applicable statues of limitations and potential settlements. Various tax years after 2006 remain open to examination by certain jurisdictions in which the Company has significant business operations, such as China, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction.
During fiscal year 2013, the Company recorded net discrete income tax benefits of $24.0 million primarily for reversals of uncertain tax position reserves and resolution of other tax matters.
The components of (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes were as follows for the fiscal years ended:
On a U. S. income tax basis, the Company has reported significant taxable income over the three year period ended December 29, 2013. The Company has utilized tax attributes to minimize cash taxes paid on that taxable income.
The components of the provision for (benefit from) income taxes for continuing operations were as follows:
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The total provision for income taxes included in the consolidated financial statements is as follows for the fiscal years ended:
A reconciliation of income tax expense at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the recorded tax provision (benefit) is as follows for the fiscal years ended:
The tax effects of temporary differences and attributes that gave rise to deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 were as follows:
At December 29, 2013, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $275.0 million, foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $177.2 million, state tax credit carryforwards of $11.9 million, general business tax credit carryforwards
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
of $29.6 million, and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $5.0 million. These are subject to expiration in years ranging from 2014 to 2032, and without expiration for certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards and certain state credit carryforwards. At December 29, 2013, the Company also had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $113.4 million as a result of acquisitions. The Company acquired estimated utilizable U.S. federal loss carryforwards of $223.4 million as a result of the Caliper acquisition during fiscal year 2011, of which $88.8 million remain at December 29, 2013. The utilization of these losses and credits is subject to annual limitations based on Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. These federal losses and credits will expire in fiscal years 2014 through 2030.
Valuation allowances take into consideration limitations imposed upon the use of the tax attributes and reduce the value of such items to the likely net realizable amount. The Company regularly evaluates positive and negative evidence available to determine if valuation allowances are required or if existing valuation allowances are no longer required. Valuation allowances have been provided on state net operating loss and state tax credit carryforwards and on certain foreign tax attributes that the Company has determined are not more likely than not to be realized. There were $10.4 million of valuation allowances provided on acquired tax attributes in connection with business combinations occurring in fiscal year 2011. The decrease in the valuation allowance in fiscal year 2013 is primarily due to the anticipated utilization of attributes in certain foreign jurisdictions. The change in the Company's valuation allowance during fiscal year 2012 was primarily due to the reversal of valuation allowances for two of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries when it became more likely than not that the subsidiaries’ deferred tax assets would be realized.
Current deferred tax assets of $78.3 million and $34.9 million were included in other current assets at December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. Long-term deferred tax liabilities of $45.3 million and $32.4 million were included in other long-term liabilities at December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.
The components of net deferred tax assets (liabilities) as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 were as follows:
As a result of the sale of the IDS and Photoflash businesses in fiscal year 2010, the Company concluded that the remaining operations within those foreign subsidiaries previously containing IDS and Photoflash operations did not require the same level of capital as previously required, and therefore the Company planned to repatriate approximately $250.0 million of previously unremitted earnings and provided for the estimated taxes on the repatriation of those earnings. The impact of this tax provision in fiscal year 2010 was an increase to the Company’s tax provision of $65.8 million in discontinued operations. The Company utilized existing tax attributes to minimize the cash taxes paid on the repatriation. As of January 1, 2012, the Company had completed the repatriation of the previously unremitted earnings of the IDS and Photoflash businesses, and reduced the recorded estimated tax liability associated with the repatriation by $6.7 million. This change in estimate was recorded as a credit to discontinued operations during fiscal year 2011.
As a result of the Caliper acquisition, the Company concluded in fiscal year 2011 that certain foreign operations did not require the same level of capital as previously expected, and therefore the Company planned to repatriate approximately $350.0 million of previously unremitted earnings and has provided for the estimated taxes on the repatriation of those earnings. As a result of the planned repatriation, the Company recorded an increase to the Company’s tax provision of $79.7 million in continuing operations in fiscal year 2011. The Company utilized tax attributes, primarily those acquired in the Caliper acquisition, to minimize the cash taxes paid on the repatriation. As of December 29, 2013, the Company had completed the repatriation of the $350.0 million of foreign earnings.
Taxes have not been provided on unremitted earnings of international subsidiaries that the Company considers indefinitely reinvested because the Company plans to keep these amounts indefinitely reinvested overseas except for instances where the Company can remit such earnings to the U.S. without an associated net tax cost. The Company's indefinite reinvestment determination is based on the future operational and capital requirements. As of December 29, 2013, the amount of foreign earnings that the Company has the intent and ability to keep invested outside the U.S. indefinitely and for which no U.S. tax cost has been provided was approximately $607.0 million. It is not practical to calculate the unrecognized deferred tax liability on those earnings.
Note 7:
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period less restricted unvested shares. Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, primarily shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. The following table reconciles the number of shares utilized in the earnings per share calculations for the fiscal years ended:
Antidilutive securities include outstanding stock options with exercise prices and average unrecognized compensation cost in excess of the average fair market value of common stock for the related period. Antidilutive options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share and could become dilutive in the future.
Note 8:
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable were net of reserves for doubtful accounts of $30.2 million and $23.4 million as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.

Depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012 was $38.1 million, $35.6 million and $30.9 million, respectively.
Note 11:
Marketable Securities and Investments
Investments as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 consisted of the following:
Marketable securities include equity and fixed-income securities held to meet obligations associated with the Company’s supplemental executive retirement plan and other deferred compensation plans. The Company has, accordingly, classified these securities as long-term.
The net unrealized holding gain and loss on marketable securities, net of deferred income taxes, reported as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity, was a $0.01 million gain in fiscal year 2013 and $0.03 million gain in fiscal year 2012. The proceeds from the sales of securities and the related gains and losses are not material for any period presented.
Marketable securities classified as available for sale as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 consisted of the following:
Note 12:
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
The Company tests goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets at least annually for possible impairment. Accordingly, the Company completes the annual testing of impairment for goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets on the later of January 1 or the first day of each fiscal year. In addition to its annual test, the Company regularly evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate a potential impairment of goodwill or non-amortizing intangible assets.
As discussed in Note 23, the Company realigned its organization at the beginning of fiscal year 2013, which resulted in a change in the composition of the Company's reporting units and reportable segments. The Company's Informatics business, as well as its field service on products previously sold by the Company's former Bio-discovery business, were moved from the Environmental Health segment into the Human Health segment. The results reported for fiscal year 2013 reflect this new alignment of the Company's operating segments. Financial information relating to fiscal years 2012 and 2011 has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the changes to the operating segments. As a result of the realignment, the Company reallocated goodwill from the Environmental Health segment to the Human Health segment based on the relative fair value, determined using the income approach, of the businesses within the historical Environmental Health segment. The change resulted in $215.7 million of goodwill being allocated from the Environmental Health segment to the Human Health segment.
The process of testing goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of the applicable reporting units. The test consists of a two-step process. The first step is the comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The second step measures the amount of an impairment loss, and is only performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company performed its annual
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
impairment testing for its reporting units as of January 1, 2013, its annual impairment date for fiscal year 2013, which was based on the change in the reporting structure. The Company concluded based on the first step of the process that there was no goodwill impairment, and the fair value exceeded the carrying value by more than 30.0% for each reporting unit.
The Company has consistently employed the income approach to estimate the current fair value when testing for impairment of goodwill. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the income approach to forecast operating cash flows, including markets and market share, sales volumes and prices, costs to produce, tax rates, capital spending, discount rate and working capital changes. Cash flow forecasts are based on approved business unit operating plans for the early years’ cash flows and historical relationships in later years. The income approach is sensitive to changes in long-term terminal growth rates and the discount rates. The long-term terminal growth rates are consistent with the Company’s historical long-term terminal growth rates, as the current economic trends are not expected to affect the long-term terminal growth rates of the Company. The long-term terminal growth rates for the Company’s reporting units ranged from 4.5% to 6.0% for the fiscal year 2013 impairment analysis. The range for the discount rates for the reporting units was 10.5% to 12.0%. Keeping all other variables constant, a 10.0% change in any one of the input assumptions for the various reporting units would still allow the Company to conclude, based on the first step of the process, that there was no impairment of goodwill.
The Company has consistently employed the relief from royalty model to estimate the current fair value when testing for impairment of non-amortizing intangible assets. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the non-amortizing intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a non-amortizing intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess is recognized. In addition, the Company currently evaluates the remaining useful life of its non-amortizing intangible assets at least annually to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If events or circumstances indicate that the useful lives of non-amortizing intangible assets are no longer indefinite, the assets will be tested for impairment. These intangible assets will then be amortized prospectively over their estimated remaining useful lives and accounted for in the same manner as other intangible assets that are subject to amortization. The Company performed its annual impairment testing as of January 1, 2013, and concluded that there was no impairment of non-amortizing intangible assets.
As part of integrating the Company's recent acquisitions, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company decided that prospectively it would primarily focus on the PerkinElmer trade name. Accordingly, the Company undertook a review of certain of its trade names within its portfolio as part of a realignment of its marketing strategy. The process resulted in the Company determining that the lives of certain trade names that it intends to phase out should be shortened, and in certain cases non-amortizing trade names were determined to no longer be indefinite-lived. Accordingly, the Company tested the recoverability of these identified indefinite-lived and definite-lived intangibles and concluded that the fair values of certain trade name intangible assets were less than the carrying amounts of those assets. For non-amortizing trade names the Company compared the fair values, which was determined using a relief from royalty method, to the carrying values, considering the revised useful lives. For amortizing trade names, the Company first determined if the undiscounted cash flows associated with the intangibles exceeded the carrying values. If the undiscounted cash flows did not exceed the carrying values, the Company determined the fair values of the trade names using a relief from royalty method, considering the revised useful lives. As a result, the remaining adjusted fair values of $6.1 million for trade names are being amortized over the period of time until the trade names are expected to be phased out, having weighted average remaining useful lives of 3 years.
Additionally during fiscal year 2012, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $74.2 million which was equal to the excess of the carrying amounts of the intangible assets over the fair value of such assets. The Company recognized $73.4 million pre-tax impairment charges in the Human Health segment and also recognized $0.7 million pre-tax impairment charges in the Environmental Health segment.
An assessment of the recoverability of amortizing intangible assets takes place when events have occurred that may give rise to an impairment. During fiscal year 2013, the Company recorded a charge of $6.7 million for the impairment of certain long-lived assets within the Human Health segment, as the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets were not recoverable and exceeded their fair value. The Company recorded a charge of $3.0 million for the impairment of intangible assets during fiscal year 2011 within the Human Health segment for the full impairment of license agreements that the Company no longer intends to use. These non-cash impairments of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, have been recorded as a separate component of operating expenses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Identifiable intangible asset balances at December 30, 2012 by category and business segment were as follows:
Total amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets was $90.4 million in fiscal year 2013, $91.2 million in fiscal year 2012 and $80.0 million in fiscal year 2011. Estimated amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for each of the next five years is $83.2 million in fiscal year 2014, $69.2 million in fiscal year 2015, $60.2 million in fiscal year 2016, $50.7 million in fiscal year 2017, and $39.1 million in fiscal year 2018.
The Company entered into a strategic agreement in fiscal year 2012 under which it acquired certain intangible assets and received a license to certain core technology for an analytics and data discovery platform, as well as the exclusive right to distribute the platform in certain scientific research and development markets. During fiscal year 2012, the Company paid $6.8 million for net intangible assets and $25.0 million for prepaid royalties. During fiscal year 2013, the Company extended the existing agreement for an additional year. In addition, the Company entered into a new agreement to expand the distribution rights to the clinical and other related markets and acquired additional intangible assets. During fiscal year 2013, the Company paid $7.0 million for net intangible assets and $40.3 million for prepaid royalties. The prepaid royalties have been recorded primarily as other long-term assets. The Company does not expect to pay any additional prepaid royalties within the next twelve months. The Company expenses royalties as revenue is recognized. These intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company has reported the amortization of these intangible assets within the results of the Company's Human Health segment from the execution date.

Debt
Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. On January 8, 2014, the Company refinanced its debt held under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility and entered into a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company's former senior unsecured revolving credit facility provided for $700.0 million of revolving loans and had an initial maturity of December 16, 2016. As of December 29, 2013, undrawn letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $12.0 million were treated as issued and outstanding under the former senior unsecured revolving credit facility. As of December 29, 2013, the Company had $291.0 million available for additional borrowing under the former facility. The interest rates under the former senior unsecured revolving credit facility were based on the Eurocurrency rate at the time of borrowing plus a margin, or the base rate
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
from time to time. The base rate was the higher of (i) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. as its "prime rate," (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points or (iii) one-month Libor plus 1.00%. The Eurocurrency margin as of December 29, 2013 was 130 basis points. The weighted average Eurocurrency interest rate as of December 29, 2013 was 0.17%, resulting in a weighted average effective Eurocurrency rate, including the margin, of 1.47%, which was the interest applicable to borrowings outstanding under the Eurocurrency rate as of December 29, 2013. At December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the Company had $397.0 million and $258.0 million, respectively of borrowings in U.S. Dollars outstanding under the former senior unsecured revolving credit facility with interest based primarily on the above described Eurocurrency rate. The credit agreement for the former facility contained affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default similar to those contained in the Company's new credit facility.
The new senior unsecured revolving credit facility provides for $700.0 million of revolving loans and has an initial maturity of January 8, 2019. The interest rates under the new senior unsecured revolving credit facility will be based on the Eurocurrency rate at the time of borrowing plus a margin, or the base rate from time to time. The base rate will be the higher of (i) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its "prime rate," (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points or (iii) one-month Libor plus 1.00%. The new credit agreement for the facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default similar to those contained in the Company's credit agreement for its previous facility. The financial covenants in the Company's new senior unsecured revolving credit facility include a debt-to-capital ratio, and two contingent covenants, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, applicable if the Company's credit rating is downgraded below investment grade. The Company uses the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, refinancing existing indebtedness, capital expenditures, share repurchases, acquisitions and strategic alliances.
6% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2015. On May 30, 2008, the Company issued $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due in 2015 in a private placement and received $150.0 million of proceeds from the issuance. The 2015 Notes were scheduled to mature in May 2015 and paid interest at an annual rate of 6%. Interest on the 2015 Notes was payable semi-annually on May 30th and November 30th of each year. The Company had the option to redeem some or all of the 2015 Notes at a make-whole redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest. In December 2013, the Company redeemed all of the 2015 Notes for a redemption price that included the outstanding principal amount of $150.0 million and a prepayment premium of $11.1 million, which is included in other expense, net. The transaction also resulted in the write-off of $2.8 million for the remaining unamortized derivative losses for previously settled cash flow hedges and the write-off of $0.2 million for the remaining deferred debt issuance costs. Both of these amounts are included in interest expense.
5% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2021. On October 25, 2011, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due in 2021 in a registered public offering and received $496.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance. The 2021 Notes were issued at 99.372% of the principal amount, which resulted in a discount of $3.1 million. As of December 29, 2013, the 2021 Notes had an aggregate carrying value of $497.4 million, net of $2.6 million of unamortized original issue discount. The 2021 Notes mature in November 2021 and bear interest at an annual rate of 5%. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15th and November 15th each year. Prior to August 15, 2021 (three months prior to their maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2021 Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect to the 2021 Notes being redeemed, discounted on a semi-annual basis, at the Treasury Rate plus 45 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest. At any time on or after August 15, 2021 (three months prior to their maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2021 Notes, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the 2021 Notes ) and a contemporaneous downgrade of the 2021 Notes below investment grade, each holder of 2021 Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase such holder's 2021 Notes for 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Financing Lease Obligations. In September 2012, the Company entered into agreements with the lessors of buildings that the Company is currently occupying and leasing to expand those buildings. The Company provided a portion of the funds needed for the construction of the additions to the buildings, which resulted in the Company being considered the owner of the buildings during the construction period. At the end of the construction period, the Company will not be reimbursed by the lessors for all of the construction costs. The Company is therefore deemed to have continuing involvement and the leases will qualify as financing leases under sale-leaseback accounting guidance, representing debt obligations for the Company and non-cash investing and financing activities. As a result, the Company capitalized $29.3 million in property and equipment, net, representing the fair value of the buildings with a corresponding increase to debt. The Company has also capitalized $11.5 million in additional construction costs necessary to complete the renovations to the buildings, which were funded by the lessors, with a corresponding increase to debt. At December 29, 2013, the Company had $40.3 million recorded for these financing lease obligations, of which $2.6 million was recorded as short-term debt and $37.7 million was recorded as long-term
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
debt. At December 30, 2012, the Company had $34.6 million recorded for these financing lease obligations, of which $1.7 million was recorded as short-term debt and $32.9 million was recorded as long-term debt. The buildings are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases to their estimated residual values, which will equal the remaining financing obligation at the end of the lease term. At the end of the lease term, the remaining balances in property, plant and equipment, net and debt will be reversed against each other.
The following table summarizes the maturities of the Company’s indebtedness as of December 29, 2013:

Employee Benefit Plans
Savings Plan: The Company has a 401(k) Savings Plan for the benefit of all qualified U.S. employees, with such employees receiving matching contributions in the amount equal to 100.0% of the first 5.0% of eligible compensation up to applicable Internal Revenue Service limits. Such matching contributions have been in effect since February 1, 2011 for all employees except former employees of Caliper, who received matching contributions of 50.0% of the first 5.0% of eligible compensation up to applicable Internal Revenue Service limits until December 31, 2012, and received matching contributions of 100.0% of the first 5.0% of eligible compensation up to applicable Internal Revenue Service limits after December 31, 2012. Savings plan expense was $12.8 million in fiscal year 2013, $12.3 million in fiscal year 2012 and $10.6 million in fiscal year 2011.
Pension Plans: The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering certain U.S. employees and non-U.S. pension plans for certain non-U.S. employees. The principal U.S. defined benefit pension plan was closed to new hires effective January 31, 2001, and benefits for those employed by the Company’s former Life Sciences businesses were frozen as of that date. Plan benefits were frozen as of March 2003 for those employed by the Company’s former Analytical Instruments business
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
and corporate employees. Plan benefits were frozen as of January 31, 2011 for all remaining employees that were still actively accruing in the plan. The plans provide benefits that are based on an employee’s years of service and compensation near retirement.
Net periodic pension (credit) cost for U.S. and non-U.S. plans included the following components for fiscal years ended:
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The following table sets forth the changes in the funded status of the principal U.S. pension plan and the principal non-U.S. pension plans and the amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost during the year were as follows:
The following table provides a breakdown of the non-U.S. benefit obligations and fair value of assets for pension plans that have benefit obligations in excess of plan assets:
Assets of the defined benefit pension plans are primarily equity and debt securities. Asset allocations as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, and target asset allocations for fiscal year 2014 are as follows:
The Company maintains target allocation percentages among various asset classes based on investment policies established for the pension plans which are designed to maximize the total rate of return (income and appreciation) after inflation within the limits of prudent risk taking, while providing for adequate near-term liquidity for benefit payments.
The Company’s expected returns on assets assumptions are derived from management’s estimates, as well as other information compiled by management, including studies that utilize customary procedures and techniques. The studies include a review of anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes and consideration of the appropriate asset allocation strategy given the anticipated requirements of the plans to determine the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested to provide for the pension plans benefits. While the study gives appropriate consideration to recent fund performance and historical returns, the assumption is primarily a long-term, prospective rate.
The Company's discount rate assumptions are derived from a range of factors, including a yield curve composed of the rates of return on high-quality fixed-income corporate bonds available at the measurement date and the related expected duration for the obligations.
The target allocations for plan assets are listed in the above table. Equity securities primarily include investments in large-cap and mid-cap companies located in the United States and abroad, and equity index funds. Debt securities include corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, high-yield bonds, and U.S. government securities. Other types of investments include investments in non-U.S. government index linked bonds, multi-strategy hedge funds and venture capital funds that follow several different strategies.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The fair values of the Company’s pension plan assets as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 by asset category, classified in the three levels of inputs described in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Valuation Techniques: Valuation techniques utilized need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There have been no changes in the methodologies utilized at December 29, 2013 compared to December 30, 2012. The following is a description of the valuation techniques utilized to measure the fair value of the assets shown in the table above.
Equity Securities: Shares of registered investment companies that are publicly traded are categorized as Level 1 assets; they are valued at quoted market prices that represent the net asset value of the fund. These instruments have active markets.
Equity index funds are mutual funds that are not publicly traded and are comprised primarily of underlying equity securities that are publicly traded on exchanges. Price quotes for the assets held by these funds are readily observable and available. Equity index funds are categorized as Level 2 assets.
Fixed Income Securities: Fixed income mutual funds that are publicly traded are valued at quoted market prices that represent the net asset value of securities held by the fund and are categorized as Level 1 assets.
Fixed income index funds that are not publicly traded are stated at net asset value as determined by the issuer of the fund based on the fair value of the underlying investments and are categorized as Level 2 assets.
Individual fixed income bonds are categorized as Level 2 assets except where sufficient quoted prices exist in active markets, in which case such securities are categorized as Level 1 assets. These securities are valued using third-party pricing services. These services may use, for example, model-based pricing methods that utilize observable market data as inputs. Broker dealer bids or quotes of securities with similar characteristics may also be used.
Other Types of Investments: Non-U.S. government index link bond funds are not publicly traded and are stated at net asset value as determined by the issuer of the fund based on the fair value of the underlying investments. Underlying investments consist of bonds in which payment of income on the principal is related to a specific price index and are categorized as Level 2 assets.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Hedge funds, private equity funds and venture capital funds are valued at fair value by using the net asset values provided by the investment managers and are updated, if necessary, using analytical procedures, appraisals, public market data and/or inquiry of the investment managers. The net asset values are determined based upon the fair values of the underlying investments in the funds. These other investments invest primarily in readily available marketable securities and allocate gains, losses, and expense to the investor based on the ownership percentage as described in the fund agreements. They are categorized as Level 3 assets.
The Company's policy is to recognize significant transfers between levels at the actual date of the event.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending Level 3 assets for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 is as follows:
With respect to plans outside of the United States, the Company expects to contribute $11.1 million in the aggregate during fiscal year 2014. During fiscal year 2013, the Company made contributions of $37.0 million for the 2012 plan year to its defined benefit pension plan in the United States. During fiscal year 2013, the Company contributed $20.2 million, in the aggregate, to plans outside of the United States, which includes an additional contribution of $10.0 million to its defined benefit pension plan in the United Kingdom. During fiscal year 2012, the Company contributed $17.0 million for the 2011 plan year to its defined benefit pension plans in the United States, and $10.9 million in the aggregate to its defined benefit pension plans outside of the United States.
The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid as follows:
The Company also sponsors a supplemental executive retirement plan to provide senior management with benefits in excess of normal pension benefits. Effective July 31, 2000, this plan was closed to new entrants. At December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the projected benefit obligations were $21.1 million and $23.2 million, respectively. Assets with a fair
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
value of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, segregated in a trust (which is included in marketable securities and investments on the consolidated balance sheets), were available to meet this obligation as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. Pension income and expenses for this plan was approximately income of $0.4 million in fiscal year 2013, expense of $2.5 million in fiscal year 2012 and expense of $4.9 million in fiscal year 2011.
Postretirement Medical Plans: The Company provides healthcare benefits for eligible retired U.S. employees under a comprehensive major medical plan or under health maintenance organizations where available. Eligible U.S. employees qualify for retiree health benefits if they retire directly from the Company and have at least ten years of service. Generally, the major medical plan pays stated percentages of covered expenses after a deductible is met and takes into consideration payments by other group coverage and by Medicare. The plan requires retiree contributions under most circumstances and has provisions for cost-sharing charges. Effective January 1, 2000, this plan was closed to new hires. For employees retiring after 1991, the Company has capped its medical premium contribution based on employees’ years of service. The Company funds the amount allowable under a 401(h) provision in the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. Assets of the plan are primarily equity and debt securities and are available only to pay retiree health benefits.
Net periodic postretirement medical benefit credit included the following components for the fiscal years ended:

The following table sets forth the changes in the postretirement medical plan’s funded status and the amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012.
Actuarial assumptions used to determine net cost during the year are as follows:
The Company maintains a master trust for plan assets related to the U.S. defined benefit plans and the U.S. postretirement medical plan. Accordingly, investment policies, target asset allocations and actual asset allocations are the same as those disclosed for the U.S. defined benefit plans.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Valuation Techniques: Valuation techniques are the same as those disclosed for the U.S. defined benefit plans above.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending Level 3 assets for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 is as follows:
The Company does not expect to make any contributions to the postretirement medical plan during fiscal year 2014.
The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid as follows:
Deferred Compensation Plans: During fiscal year 1998, the Company implemented a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that provides benefits payable to officers and certain key employees or their designated beneficiaries at specified future dates, or upon retirement or death. The plan was amended to eliminate deferral elections from participants for plan years beginning January 1, 2011. Benefit payments under the plan are funded by contributions from participants, and for certain participants, contributions are funded by the Company. The obligations related to the deferred compensation plan totaled $1.0 million and $0.9 million at December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.
Note 16:
Contingencies
The Company is conducting a number of environmental investigations and remedial actions at current and former locations of the Company and, along with other companies, has been named a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for certain waste disposal sites. The Company accrues for environmental issues in the accounting period that the Company’s responsibility is established and when the cost can be reasonably estimated. During fiscal year 2013, the Company accrued an additional $5.7
million related to a particular site for increased monitoring and mitigation activities. The Company has accrued $13.5 million as of December 29, 2013, which represents management’s estimate of the cost of the remediation of known environmental matters, and does not include any potential liability for related personal injury or property damage claims. This amount is not discounted and does not reflect the recovery of any material amounts through insurance or indemnification arrangements. These cost estimates are subject to a number of variables, including the stage of the environmental investigations, the magnitude of the possible contamination, the nature of the potential remedies, possible joint and several liability, the time period over which remediation may occur, and the possible effects of changing laws and regulations. For sites where the Company has been named a PRP, management does not currently anticipate any additional liability to result from the inability of other significant named parties to contribute. The Company expects that the majority of such accrued amounts could be paid out over a period of up to ten years. As assessment and remediation activities progress at each individual site, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information as it becomes available. There have been no environmental problems to date that have had, or are expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. While it is possible that a loss exceeding the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements may be incurred, the potential exposure is not expected to be materially different from those amounts recorded.
Enzo Biochem, Inc. and Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (collectively, “Enzo”) filed a complaint dated October 23, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 02-8448, seeking injunctive and monetary relief against Amersham plc, Amersham BioSciences, PerkinElmer, Inc., PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sigma Chemical Company, Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc., and Orchid BioSciences, Inc. The complaint alleges that the Company breached its distributorship and settlement agreements with Enzo, infringed Enzo's patents, engaged in unfair competition and fraud, and committed torts against Enzo by, among other things, engaging in commercial development and exploitation of Enzo's patented products and technology, separately and together with the other defendants. The Company filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that Enzo's patents are invalid. In 2007, after the court issued a decision in 2006 regarding the construction of the claims in Enzo's patents that effectively limited the coverage of certain of those claims and, the Company believes, excluded certain of the Company's products from the coverage of Enzo's patents, summary judgment motions were filed by the defendants. The case was assigned to a new district court judge in January 2009 and in March 2009, the new judge denied the pending summary judgment motions without prejudice and ordered a stay of the case until the federal appellate court decided Enzo's appeal of the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in Enzo Biochem vs. Applera Corp. and Tropix, Inc. (the “Connecticut Case”), which involved a number of the same patents and which could materially affect the scope of Enzo's case against the Company. In March 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed-in-part and reversed-in-part the judgment in the Connecticut Case. The district court permitted the Company and the other defendants to jointly file a motion for summary judgment on certain patent and other issues common to all of the defendants. On September 12, 2012, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company's motion for summary judgment of non-infringement. On December 21, 2012, the Company filed a second motion for summary judgment on claims that were not addressed in the first motion, which the court also granted in part and denied in part. The case is expected to go to trial in March 2014.
The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the matter described above, and it is contesting the action vigorously. While this matter is subject to uncertainty, in the opinion of the Company’s management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company is also subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Although the Company has established accruals for potential losses that it believes are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of the Company’s management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving these other contingencies at December 29, 2013 should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company.
Note 17:
Warranty Reserves
The Company provides warranty protection for certain products usually for a period of one year beyond the date of sale. The majority of costs associated with warranty obligations include the replacement of parts and the time for service personnel to respond to repair and replacement requests. A warranty reserve is recorded based upon historical results, supplemented by management’s expectations of future costs. Warranty reserves are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets.

In addition to the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Company utilizes one stock-based compensation plan, the 2009 Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). Under the 2009 Plan, which includes shares of the Company’s common stock previously granted under the Amended and Restated 2001 Incentive Plan and the 2005 Incentive Plan that were canceled or forfeited without the shares being issued, 10.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for stock option grants, restricted stock awards, performance units and stock grants as part of the Company’s compensation programs.
The following table summarizes total pre-tax compensation expense recognized related to the Company’s stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and stock grants, net of estimated forfeitures, included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011:
The total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for stock-based compensation was $4.4 million in fiscal year 2013, $6.8 million in fiscal year 2012 and $5.1 million in fiscal year 2011. Stock-based compensation costs capitalized as part of inventory were $0.4 million and $0.3 million as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. The excess tax benefit recognized from stock awards, classified as a financing cash activity, was zero in fiscal year 2013, $1.8 million in fiscal year 2012 and $9.3 million in fiscal year 2011.
Stock Options: The Company has granted options to purchase common shares at prices equal to the market price of the common shares on the date the option is granted. Conditions of vesting are determined at the time of grant. Options are generally exercisable in equal annual installments over a period of three years, and will generally expire seven years after the date of grant. Options replaced in association with business combination transactions are generally issued with the same terms of the respective plans under which they were originally issued.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility was calculated primarily based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The average expected life was based on the contractual term of the option and historic exercise experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. Forfeitures are estimated based on voluntary termination behavior, as well as an analysis of actual option forfeitures. The Company’s weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows for the fiscal years ended:
The following table summarizes stock option activity for the three fiscal years ended December 29, 2013:
The aggregate intrinsic value for stock options outstanding at December 29, 2013 was $51.7 million with a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 3.5 years. The aggregate intrinsic value for stock options exercisable at December 29, 2013 was $41.8 million with a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 2.7 years. At December 29, 2013, there were 3.4 million stock options that were vested, and expected to vest in the future, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $51.3 million and a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 3.5 years.
The weighted-average per-share grant-date fair value of options granted during fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $10.82, $7.36, and $7.03, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $13.8 million, $13.1 million, and $6.9 million, respectively. Cash received from option exercises for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $20.3 million, $32.5 million, and $23.7 million, respectively. The total compensation expense recognized related to the Company’s outstanding options was $4.4 million in fiscal year 2013, $5.1 million in fiscal year 2012 and $4.5 million in fiscal year 2011.
There was $5.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested stock options granted as of December 29, 2013. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years, and will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated forfeitures.
Restricted Stock Awards: The Company has awarded shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units to certain employees at no cost to them, which cannot be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged during the restriction period. The restricted stock and restricted stock units vest through the passage of time, assuming continued employment. The fair value of the award at the time of the grant is expensed on a straight line basis primarily in selling, general and administrative expenses over the vesting period, which is generally three years. These awards were granted under the Company’s 2009 Plan, 2005 Incentive Plan and 2001 Incentive Plan. Recipients of the restricted stock have the right to vote such shares and receive dividends.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The following table summarizes restricted stock award activity for the three fiscal years ended December 29, 2013:
The fair value of restricted stock awards vested during fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $8.0 million, $4.3 million, and $6.5 million, respectively. The total compensation expense recognized related to the restricted stock awards was $7.5 million in fiscal year 2013, $8.2 million in fiscal year 2012 and $6.5 million in fiscal year 2011.
As of December 29, 2013, there was $9.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of forfeitures, related to nonvested restricted stock awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 fiscal years.
Performance Units: The Company’s performance unit program provides a cash award based on the achievement of specific performance criteria. A target number of units are granted at the beginning of a three-year performance period. The number of units earned at the end of the performance period is determined by multiplying the number of units granted by a performance factor ranging from 0% to 200%. Awards are determined by multiplying the number of units earned by the stock price at the end of the performance period, and are paid in cash and accounted for as a liability based award. The compensation expense associated with these units is recognized over the period that the performance targets are expected to be achieved. The Company granted 98,056 performance units, 122,675 performance units, and 89,828 performance units during fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The weighted-average per-share grant-date fair value of performance units granted during fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $34.06, $26.18, and $26.71, respectively. The total compensation expense related to these performance units was $1.4 million, $7.1 million, and $3.7 million for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. As of December 29, 2013, there were 282,044 performance units outstanding subject to forfeiture, with a corresponding liability of $4.8 million recorded in accrued expenses and long-term liabilities.
Stock Awards: The Company’s stock award program provides non-employee Directors an annual equity award. For fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 the award equaled the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which has an aggregate fair market value of $100,000 on the date of the award. The stock award is prorated for non-employee Directors who serve for only a portion of the year. The compensation expense associated with these stock awards is recognized when the stock award is granted. In fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, each non-employee Director was awarded 3,263 shares, 3,580 shares, and 3,544 shares, respectively. The Company also granted 955 shares to a new non-employee Director during fiscal year 2012. The weighted-average per-share grant-date fair value of stock awards granted during fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $30.65, $27.87, and $28.22, respectively. In fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, the total compensation expense recognized related to these stock awards was $0.7 million, $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan: In April 1999, the Company’s shareholders approved the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In April 2005, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board voted to amend the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, effective July 1, 2005, whereby participating employees have the right to purchase common stock at a price equal to 95% of the closing price on the last day of each six-month offering period. The number of shares which an employee may purchase, subject to certain aggregate limits, is determined by the employee’s voluntary contribution, which may not exceed 10% of the employee’s base compensation. During fiscal year 2013, the Company issued 89,521 shares of common stock under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan at a weighted-average price of $30.51 per share. During fiscal year 2012, the Company issued 53,961 shares under this plan at a weighted-average price of $24.51 per share. During fiscal year 2011, the Company issued 102,970 shares under this plan at a weighted-average price of $21.33 per share. At December 29, 2013 there remains available for sale to employees an aggregate of 1.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock out of the 5.0 million shares authorized by shareholders for issuance under this plan.

Comprehensive Income:
The components of accumulated other comprehensive income consisted of the following:
During fiscal year 2013, pre-tax losses of $4.8 million were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest and other expense, net, related to previously settled cash flow hedges, which includes $2.8 million for the remaining unamortized derivative losses that were reclassified when the Company redeemed all of its 2015 Notes. The Company recognized a tax provision of $1.9 million related to these amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income for fiscal year 2013. During both fiscal years 2012 and 2011, pre-tax losses of $2.0 million were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest and other expense, net related to previously settled cash flow hedges. The Company recognized a tax provision of $0.8 million related to these amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in both fiscal years 2012 and 2011. During fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, pre-tax expense of $0.7 million, pre-tax expense of $0.1 million, and pre-tax income of $0.1 million, respectively, were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into selling, general and administrative expenses as a component of net periodic benefit cost.
Stock Repurchase Program:
On October 24, 2012, the Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized the Company to repurchase up to 6.0 million shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"). The Repurchase Program will expire on October 24, 2014 unless terminated earlier by the Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During fiscal year 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 3.6 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $123.0 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. During fiscal year 2012, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under any stock repurchase program. During fiscal year 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 4.0 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $107.8 million, including commissions. The repurchases made during fiscal year 2011 were made pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase program originally announced in October 2008 that expired in October 2012. As of December 29, 2013, approximately 2.4 million shares authorized by the Board under the Repurchase Program remained available for repurchase.
The Board has authorized the Company to repurchase shares of common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans. During fiscal year 2013, the Company repurchased 127,544 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $4.4 million. During fiscal year 2012, the Company repurchased 82,186 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $2.1 million. During fiscal year 2011, the Company repurchased 84,243 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $2.2 million.
The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.
Dividends:
The Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share in each quarter of fiscal years 2013 and 2012. At December 29, 2013, the Company has accrued $7.9 million for dividends declared on October 24, 2013 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 payable in February 2014. On January 24, 2014, the Company announced that the Board had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 that will be payable in May 2014. In the future, the

Board may determine to reduce or eliminate the Company’s common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.
Note 20:
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its risk management strategy only, and includes derivatives utilized as economic hedges that are not designated as hedging instruments. By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. The Company enters into derivative instruments with major investment grade financial institutions and has policies to monitor the credit risk of those counterparties. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or other speculative purposes, nor does the Company use leveraged financial instruments. Approximately 60% of the Company’s business is conducted outside of the United States, generally in foreign currencies. The fluctuations in foreign currency can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. The intent of these economic hedges is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures from these currencies, with gains and losses resulting from the forward currency contracts that hedge these exposures.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into foreign exchange contracts for periods consistent with its committed exposures to mitigate the effect of foreign currency movements on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Transactions covered by hedge contracts include intercompany and third-party receivables and payables. The contracts are primarily in European and Asian currencies, have maturities that do not exceed 12 months, have no cash requirements until maturity, and are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s foreign currency contracts are recognized immediately in earnings for hedges designated as fair value and, for hedges designated as cash flow, the related unrealized gains or losses are deferred as a component of other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred gains and losses are recognized in income in the period in which the underlying anticipated transaction occurs and impacts earnings.
Principal hedged currencies include the British Pound, Euro, Japanese Yen and Singapore Dollar. The Company held forward foreign exchange contracts, designated as fair value hedges, with U.S. equivalent notional amounts totaling $138.4 million at December 29, 2013, $64.3 million at December 30, 2012, and $268.9 million at January 1, 2012, and the fair value of these foreign currency derivative contracts was insignificant. The gains and losses realized on foreign currency derivative contracts are not material. The duration of these contracts was generally 30 days or less during fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011.
As of December 29, 2013, the Company had no cash flow hedges outstanding, and as of December 30, 2012, the Company had two outstanding cash flow hedges. During fiscal year 2012, the Company entered into two forward foreign exchange contracts with settlement dates in fiscal year 2013 and combined Euro denominated notional amounts of €50.0 million, designated as cash flow hedges. During fiscal year 2013 the Company settled these Euro denominated forward foreign exchange contracts. The derivative gains were amortized into interest and other expense, net when the hedged exposures affected interest and other expense, net. Such amounts were not material for fiscal year 2013.
In May 2008, the Company settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million upon the issuance of its 2015 Notes, and recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive income. During each of fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company amortized a pre-tax loss of $2.0 million into interest and other expense, net. In addition, during fiscal year 2013, the Company redeemed all of its 2015 Notes and recognized a pre-tax loss of $2.8 million for the remaining unamortized derivative losses into interest and other expense, net.
The Company does not expect any pre-tax losses to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest and other expense, net within the next twelve months.
Note 21:
Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, derivatives, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company believes it had no significant concentrations of credit risk as of December 29, 2013.
The Company uses the market approach technique to value its financial instruments and there were no changes in valuation techniques during fiscal years 2013 and 2012. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are primarily comprised of marketable securities, derivative contracts used to hedge the Company’s currency risk, and acquisition related contingent consideration. The Company has not elected to measure any additional financial instruments or other items at fair value.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Valuation Hierarchy: The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required to measure fair value. For Level 1 inputs, the Company utilizes quoted market prices as these instruments have active markets. For Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes quoted market prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or utilizes alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. For Level 3 inputs, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs based on the best information available, including estimates by management primarily based on information provided by third-party fund managers, independent brokerage firms and insurance companies. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible.
The following tables show the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 classified in one of the three classifications described above:
Valuation Techniques: The Company’s Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities are comprised of investments in equity and fixed-income securities as well as derivative contracts. For financial assets and liabilities that utilize Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including common stock price quotes, foreign exchange forward prices, and bank price quotes. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets and liabilities.
Marketable securities: Include equity and fixed-income securities measured at fair value using the quoted market prices at the reporting date.
Foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities: Include foreign exchange derivative contracts that are valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date.
Valuation Techniques: The Company’s Level 3 liabilities are comprised of contingent consideration related to acquisitions. For liabilities that utilize Level 3 inputs, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 3 liabilities.
Contingent consideration: The Company has classified its net liabilities for contingent consideration relating to its acquisitions within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using significant unobservable inputs, which included probability weighted cash flows. Contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date, based on the probability that revenue thresholds or product development milestones will be achieved during the earnout period. Increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities primarily result from changes in the estimated probabilities of achieving revenue thresholds or product development milestones during the earnout period. The Company may have to pay contingent consideration, related to all acquisitions with open contingency periods, of up to $31.3 million as of December 29, 2013. As of December 29, 2013, the Company has recorded contingent consideration obligations
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
relating to its acquisitions of Dexela Limited, Haoyuan and Tetra Teknolojik Sistemler Limited Sirketi, with an estimated fair value of $4.9 million. The earnout periods for each of these acquisitions do not exceed three years from the acquisition date, and the remaining weighted average earnout period at December 29, 2013 was two years.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending Level 3 net liabilities is as follows:
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company recorded $74.2 million of pre-tax intangible asset impairment charges related to certain trade names. A description of these impairment charges is included within Note 12. The fair value measurements were determined using a relief from royalty method, which incorporates unobservable inputs, thereby classifying the fair value measurements as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The primary inputs used in the relief from royalty method, an income-based approach, included estimated prospective cash flows considering the revised useful lives and an estimated royalty rate that would be used by a market participant. The royalty rates ranged from 0.5% to 1.0%, the discount rates ranged from 11.0% to 12.0%, and the useful lives ranged from 1 to 8 years. The identified indefinite-lived intangibles related to the above impairment charges, had a carrying value of $76.4 million and a fair value of $4.5 million as of the impairment date, resulting in an impairment loss of $71.9 million. The identified definite-lived intangibles related to the above impairment charges, had a carrying value of $3.8 million and a fair value of $1.5 million as of the impairment date, resulting in an impairment loss of $2.3 million.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. If measured at fair value, cash and cash equivalents would be classified as Level 1.
The Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which provides for $700.0 million of revolving loans, had amounts outstanding, excluding letters of credit, of $397.0 million and $258.0 million as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. The interest rate on the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility is reset at least monthly to correspond to variable rates that reflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt. The Company had no change in credit standing during fiscal year 2013. Consequently, the carrying value of the current year and prior year credit facilities approximate fair value and would be classified as Level 2.
The Company’s 2015 Notes, with a face value of $150.0 million, had an aggregate carrying value of $150.0 million and a fair value of $165.4 million as of December 30, 2012. The Company's 2021 Notes, with a face value of $500.0 million, had an aggregate carrying value of $497.4 million, net of $2.6 million of unamortized original issue discount, and a fair value of $513.0 million as of December 29, 2013. The 2021 Notes had an aggregate carrying value of $497.2 million, net of $2.8 million of unamortized original issue discount, and a fair value of $558.3 million as of December 30, 2012. The fair value of the 2021 Notes is estimated using market quotes from brokers and are based on current rates offered for similar debt. The Company's financing lease obligations had an aggregate carrying value of $40.3 million and $34.6 million as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, and approximated the fair value as there has been minimal change in the Company's incremental borrowing rate. As of December 29, 2013, the 2021 Notes and financing lease obligations were classified as Level 2.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
As of December 29, 2013, there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities due to credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to the Company’s derivative assets based on the evaluation of its counterparties’ credit risks.
Note 22:
Leases
The Company leases certain property and equipment under operating leases. Rental expense charged to continuing operations for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 amounted to $52.7 million, $60.3 million, and $49.1 million, respectively. Minimum rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases are as follows: $56.5 million in fiscal year 2014, $39.1 million in fiscal year 2015, $27.2 million in fiscal year 2016, $22.5 million in fiscal year 2017, $19.5 million in fiscal year 2018 and $91.5 million in fiscal year 2019 and thereafter.
On August 22, 2013, the Company sold one of its facilities located in Boston, Massachusetts for net proceeds of $47.6 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the property, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease back the property for its continued use. The lease has an initial term of 15 years and the Company has the right to extend the term of the lease for two additional periods of ten years each. The lease is accounted for as an operating lease and the Company has deferred $26.5 million of gains which will be amortized in operating expenses over the initial lease term of 15 years. During fiscal year 2013, the Company amortized $0.6 million of deferred gains related to the lease. At December 29, 2013, $25.9 million of these deferred gains remained to be amortized, recorded in long-term liabilities.
Note 23:
Industry Segment and Geographic Area Information
The Company discloses information about its operating segments based on the way that management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on revenue and operating income. Intersegment revenue and transfers are not significant. The Company’s management reviews the results of the Company’s operations by the Human Health and Environmental Health operating segments. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1.
The Company realigned its organization at the beginning of fiscal year 2013. The Company's Informatics business, as well as its field service on products previously sold by the Company's former Bio-discovery business, were moved from the Environmental Health segment into the Human Health segment. The results reported for fiscal year 2013 reflect this new alignment of the Company's operating segments. Financial information relating to fiscal years 2012 and 2011 has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the changes to the operating segments. The principal products and services of these two operating segments are:
•
Human Health. Develops diagnostics, tools and applications to help detect diseases earlier and more accurately and to accelerate the discovery and development of critical new therapies. The Human Health segment serves both the diagnostics and research markets.
•
Environmental Health. Provides products, services and solutions to facilitate the creation of safer food and consumer products, more secure surroundings and efficient energy resources. The Environmental Health segment serves the environmental, industrial and laboratory services markets.
The Company has included the expenses for its corporate headquarters, such as legal, tax, audit, human resources, information technology, and other management and compliance costs, as well as the activity related to the mark-to-market adjustment on postretirement benefit plans, as “Corporate” below. The Company has a process to allocate and recharge expenses to the reportable segments when these costs are administered or paid by the corporate headquarters based on the extent to which the segment benefited from the expenses. These amounts have been calculated in a consistent manner and are included in the Company’s calculations of segment results to internally plan and assess the performance of each segment for all purposes, including determining the compensation of the business leaders for each of the Company’s operating segments.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 29, 2013. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 29, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
•
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
•
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
•
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2013. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in the 1992 Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 29, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
Our registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. This report appears below.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of PerkinElmer, Inc.
Waltham, Massachusetts
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of PerkinElmer, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 29, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2013, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended December 29, 2013 of the Company and our report dated February 25, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
