Components of Profit and Loss
Net Sales . We sell our products to a variety of manufacturers, distributors and end users. Our customers consist of a large cross-section of businesses, ranging from Fortune 100 companies to small businesses. A number of our products are sold to Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs"), who incorporate our products, such as electric motors, into products they manufacture, and many of our products are built to the requirements of our customers. The majority of our sales derive from direct sales to customers by sales personnel employed by the Company, however, a significant portion of our sales are derived from sales made by manufacturer's representatives, who are paid exclusively on commission. Our product sales are made via purchase order, long-term contract, and, in some instances, one-time purchases. Many of our products have broad customer bases, with the levels of concentration of revenues varying from business unit to business unit. Our level of net sales for any given period is dependent upon a number of factors, including (i) the demand for our products; (ii) the strength of the economy generally and the end markets in which we compete; (iii) our customers' perceptions of our product quality at any given time; (iv) our ability to timely meet customer demands; (v) the selling price of our products; and (vi) the weather. As a result, our total revenue has tended to experience quarterly variations and our total revenue for any particular quarter may not be indicative of future results. We use the term "organic sales" to refer to sales from existing operations excluding (i) sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition ("Acquisition Sales"), (ii) less the amount of sales attributable to any businesses divested/to be exited, and (iii) the impact of foreign currency translation. The impact of foreign currency translation is determined by translating the respective period's organic sales using the same currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior year periods. We use the term "organic sales growth" to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to organic sales. We use the term "acquisition growth" to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to Acquisition Sales. Gross Profit. Our gross profit is impacted by our levels of net sales and cost of sales. Our cost of sales consists of costs for, among other things (i) raw materials, including copper, steel and aluminum; (ii) components such as castings, bars, tools, bearings and electronics; (iii) wages and related personnel expenses for fabrication, assembly and logistics personnel; (iv) manufacturing facilities, including depreciation on our manufacturing facilities and equipment, insurance and utilities; and (v) shipping. The majority of our cost of sales consists of raw materials and components. The price we pay for commodities and components can be subject to commodity price fluctuations. We attempt to mitigate this through fixed-price agreements with suppliers and our hedging strategies. When we experience commodity price increases, we have tended to announce price increase to our customers who purchase via purchase order, with such increases generally taking effect a period of time after the public announcements. For those sales we make under long-term contracts, we tend to include material price formulas that specify quarterly or semi-annual price adjustments based on a variety of factors, including commodity prices. Outside of general economic cyclicality, our business units experience different levels of variation in gross profit from quarter to quarter based on factors specific to each business. For example, a portion of our Climate Solutions segment manufactures products that are used in air conditioning applications. As a result, our sales for that business tend to be lower in the first and fourth quarters and higher in the second and third quarters. In contrast, our Commercial Systems segment, Industrial Systems segment and Power Transmission Solutions segment have a broad customer base and a variety of applications, thereby helping to mitigate large quarter-to-quarter fluctuations outside of general economic conditions. Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses consist primarily of (i) general and administrative expenses; (ii) sales and marketing expenses; (iii) general engineering and research and development expenses; and (iv) handling costs incurred in conjunction with distribution activities. Personnel related costs are our largest operating expense. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs for (i) salaries, benefits and other personnel expenses related to our executive, finance, human resource, information technology, legal and operations functions; (ii) occupancy expenses; (iii) technology related costs; (iv) depreciation and amortization; and (v) corporate-related travel. The majority of our general and administrative costs are for salaries and related personnel expenses. These costs can vary by business given the location of our different manufacturing operations. 38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs for (i) salaries, benefits and other personnel expenses related to our sales and marketing function; (ii) internal and external sales commissions and bonuses; (iii) travel, lodging and other out-of-pocket expenses associated with our selling efforts; and (iv) other related overhead. Our general engineering and research and development expenses consist primarily of costs for (i) salaries, benefits and other personnel expenses; (ii) the design and development of new energy efficiency products and enhancements; (iii) quality assurance and testing; and (iv) other related overhead. Our research and development efforts tend to be targeted toward developing new products that would allow us to maintain or gain additional market share, whether in new or existing applications. While these costs make up an insignificant portion of our operating expenses in the Power Transmission Solutions segment, they are more substantial in our Commercial Systems, Industrial Systems and Climate Solutions segments. In particular, a large driver of our research and development efforts in those three segments is energy efficiency, which generally means using less electrical power to produce more mechanical power. Operating Profit. Our operating profit consists of the segment gross profit less the segment operating expenses. In addition, there are shared operating costs that cover corporate and information technology expenses that are consistently allocated to the operating segments and are included in the segment operating expenses. Operating profit is a key metric used to measure year over year improvement of the segments. Restructuring and Restructuring Related Costs. We incurred restructuring-related costs on employee termination and plant relocation costs. Restructuring related costs includes costs directly associated with actions resulting from our simplification initiatives, such as asset write-downs or accelerated depreciation due to shortened useful lives in connection with site closures, discretionary employment benefit costs and other facility rationalization costs. Restructuring costs for employee termination expenses are generally required to be accrued over the employees remaining service period while restructuring costs for plant relocation costs and restructuring-related costs are generally required to be expensed as incurred. COVID-19 Pandemic COVID-19 evolved during the first quarter of 2020 into a global pandemic, resulting in a severe global health crisis that drove a dramatic slowdown in global economic and social activity. In the face of this global crisis, our first priority has been the health and safety of our associates. In response, we implemented a host of measures to help our associates stay safe, measures that have been enhanced and refined as impacts from COVID-19 grew, and as our knowledge about how to enhance their effectiveness improved. Factors deriving from the COVID-19 response that have or may negatively impact sales and operating profit in the future include, but are not limited to: limitations on the ability of our suppliers to manufacture, or procure from manufacturers, components and raw materials used in our products, or to meet delivery requirements and commitments; limitations on the ability of our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic or local, state, or federal orders requiring employees to remain at home; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver our products to customers; limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their business and purchase our products and services; reductions in demands of our customers; and limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis.
We continue to monitor the pandemic and make adjustments to the business as necessary to address any limitations or negative impacts.
Rexnord Transaction
OnFebruary 15, 2021 , we entered into definitive agreements with Rexnord Corporation ("Rexnord"),Land Newco, Inc. , a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Rexnord ("Land"), andPhoenix 2021, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary ("Merger Sub"), with respect to aReverse Morris Trust transaction (the "Rexnord Transaction") pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions of those definitive agreements discussed below, (1) Rexnord will transfer (or cause to be transferred) to Land substantially all of the assets, and Land will assume substantially all of the liabilities, of Rexnord's Process & Motion Control business ("PMC Business") (the "Reorganization"), (2) after which, all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock,$0.01 par value per share, of Land ("Land common stock") held by a subsidiary of Rexnord will be distributed in a series of distributions to Rexnord's stockholders (the "Distributions", and the final distribution of Land common stock from Rexnord to Rexnord's stockholders, which is to be made pro rata for no consideration, the "Spin-Off") and (3) immediately after the Spin-Off, Merger Sub will merge with and into Land (the "Merger") and all shares of Land common stock (other than those held by Rexnord, Land, the Company, Merger Sub or their respective subsidiaries) will be converted into the right to receive shares of our common stock,$0.01 par value per share ("Company common stock"), as calculated and subject to adjustment as set forth 39 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in the Merger Agreement (as defined below). When the Merger is completed, Land (which at that time will hold the PMC Business) will be our wholly owned subsidiary.
The definitive agreements we entered into in connection with the Rexnord Transaction include an Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among Rexnord, Land, Merger Sub and the Company (the "Merger Agreement"), a Separation and Distribution Agreement, by and among Rexnord, Land and the Company as well as and certain ancillary agreements. In connection with the Rexnord Transaction, the Merger Agreement provides that we shall, to the extent required by the Merger Agreement, in certain circumstances in which additional shares of Company common stock are issued at the closing of the Rexnord Transaction to holders of Land common stock, declare a special dividend to our shareholders immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (the "Company Special Dividend"). The existence and magnitude of the Company Special Dividend will depend on whether and to what extent we are able to count certain overlapping shareholders of us and Rexnord in satisfying the tax requirements applicable to aReverse Morris Trust transaction. In the event that the Company Special Dividend is required to be paid, it could range in amount between zero and approximately$2.0 billion .
In connection with the Rexnord Transaction, we have entered into certain financing arrangements, which are described below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources".
Closing of the Rexnord Transaction is subject to various closing conditions, including the consummation of the Reorganization and the Distributions, receipt of the approval of our shareholders and Rexnord's stockholders and other customary closing conditions.

In addition to operating income, other significant factors affecting our cash flow include working capital levels, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions and divestitures, availability of debt financing and the ability to attract long-term capital at acceptable terms. Cash flow provided by operating activities was$136.6 million for the six months endedJuly 3, 2021 , a$53.0 million decrease from the six months endedJune 27, 2020 . The decrease is a result of increased accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses and other current assets partially offset by higher accounts payable and net income in the current year for the six months endedJuly 3, 2021 compared to the six months endedJune 27, 2020 . Cash flow used in investing activities was$26.3 million for the six months endedJuly 3, 2021 as compared to cash flow used in investing activities of$14.8 million for the six months endedJune 27, 2020 . The change was driven primarily by lower proceeds received from sales of property, plant and equipment and cash used for capital purchases and business acquisitions in the current year compared to the prior year. Cash flow used in financing activities was$102.1 million for the six months endedJuly 3, 2021 , compared to$66.8 million used in financing activities for the six months endedJune 27, 2020 . We had net debt repayments of$50.2 million during the six months endedJuly 3, 2021 , compared to net debt repayments of$12.5 million during the six months endedJune 27, 2020 . There were no share repurchases for the six months endedJuly 3, 2021 , compared to$25.0 million for the six months endedJune 27, 2020 . There were$17.0 million in financing fees paid for the six months endedJuly 3, 2021 , compared to no fees in the prior year. Our working capital was$1,145.4 million atJuly 3, 2021 , compared to$1,029.3 million atJanuary 2, 2021 . AtJuly 3, 2021 andJanuary 2, 2021 , our current ratio (which is the ratio of our current assets to current liabilities) was 2.2:1 and 2.3:1, respectively. Our working capital increased primarily due to the increase in trade receivables, inventory and prepaid expenses offset by an increase in accounts payable.
The following table presents selected financial information and statistics as of

We anticipate being able to support our short-term liquidity and operating needs largely through cash generated from operations. We regularly assess our cash needs and the available sources to fund these needs which includes repatriation of foreign earnings which may be subject to withholding taxes. Under current law, we do not expect restrictions or taxes on repatriation of cash held outside ofthe United States to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or the results of operations for the foreseeable future. We will, from time to time, maintain excess cash balances which may be used to (i) fund operations, (ii) repay outstanding debt, (iii) fund acquisitions, (iv) pay dividends, (v) make investments in new product development programs, (vi) repurchase our common stock, or (vii) fund other corporate objectives. 44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credit Agreement OnMarch 17, 2021 , we entered into an amendment (the "First Amendment") with our lenders to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, datedAugust 27, 2018 (the "Credit Agreement") withJPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A ., as Administrative Agent and the lenders named therein. The First Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) permit the consummation of the proposed transaction pursuant to the definitive agreements we entered into onFebruary 15, 2021 , among Rexnord, Land and the Merger Sub with respect to aReverse Morris Trust transaction (the "Rexnord Transaction") and the incurrence of indebtedness and liens in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed$2.1 billion (plus an additional$487.0 million of capacity for the DDTL Facility described below) in connection with the Rexnord Transaction; (ii) provide an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement from$500.0 million to$750.0 million , (iii) provide an increase in the maximum leverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated funded debt to EBITDA) permitted as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to 4.50 to 1.00, to the extent the funded debt to EBITDA ratio exceeds 3.00 to 1.00 upon the consummation of the Rexnord Transaction. The amendment is subject to customary and market provisions. Prior to the First Amendment, the Credit Agreement provided for a (i) 5-year unsecured term loan facility in an original aggregate principal amount of$900.0 million (the "Term Facility") and (ii) a 5-year unsecured multicurrency revolving facility in an aggregate principal amount of$500.0 million (increased as of the effectiveness of the First Amendment to$750.0 million ) (the "Multicurrency Revolving Facility"), including a$50.0 million letter of credit sub facility, available for general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at floating rates based upon indices determined by the currency of the borrowing, plus an applicable margin determined by reference to our consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio or at an alternative base rate. The Term Facility under the Credit Agreement was drawn in full onAugust 27, 2018 with the proceeds settling the amounts owed under prior borrowings. The Term Facility requires quarterly amortization at a rate starting at 5.0% per annum, increasing to 7.5% per annum after three years and further increasing to 10.0% per annum for the last year of the Term Facility, unless previously prepaid. The weighted average interest rate on the Term Facility for the three months endedJuly 3, 2021 andJune 27, 2020 was 1.4% and 1.6%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on the Term Facility for the six months endedJuly 3, 2021 andJune 27, 2020 was 1.5% and 2.9%, respectively. The Credit Agreement requires that we prepay the loans under the Term Facility with 100% of the net cash proceeds received from specified asset sales and borrowed money indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions. AtJuly 3, 2021 , we had no borrowings under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility,$0.2 million of standby letters of credit issued under the facility and$749.8 million of available borrowing capacity.

We pay a non-use fee on the aggregate unused amount of the Multicurrency Revolving Facility at a rate determined by reference to its consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio. Senior Notes AtJuly 3, 2021 , we had$400.0 million of senior notes (the "Notes") outstanding. The Notes consist of$400.0 million in senior notes in a private placement which were issued in five tranches with maturities from ten to twelve years and carry fixed interest rates. As ofJuly 3, 2021 ,$230.0 million and$170.0 million of the Notes are included in Current Maturities of Long-Term Debt and Long-Term Debt, respectively on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Financing Arrangements Related to Rexnord Transaction
In connection with the Rexnord Transaction, onFebruary 15, 2021 , we entered into a debt commitment letter (the "Bridge Commitment Letter") and related fee letters with Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays"), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Barclays committed to provide approximately$2.1 billion in an aggregate principal amount of senior bridge loans under a 364-day senior bridge loan credit facility (the "Bridge Facility"). The proceeds of the loans under the Bridge Facility may be used by us to (i) pay the Company Special Dividend, (ii) redeem the Notes due in 2023 and (iii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Rexnord Transaction. Further, we entered into an additional debt commitment letter (the "Backstop Commitment Letter") and related fee letters with Barclays, pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Barclays committed to provide 364-day senior bridge loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to approximately$1.1 billion to prepay in full the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement in the event that certain required consents from the lenders under the Credit Agreement could not be obtained. OnMarch 17, 2021 , as further described above, we entered into the First Amendment to, among other things (i) permit the consummation of the Rexnord Transaction, as applicable, (ii) permit the incurrence of indebtedness to finance the Company Special Dividend and to finance the cash payment of Land to a subsidiary of Rexnord (the "Land Cash Payment") as contemplated by the Rexnord Transaction; and (iii) provide an increase of$250.0 million in the aggregate principal amount of the revolving commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement, as described in detail above under "Credit Agreement". Upon the effectiveness of the First Amendment, the Backstop Commitment Letter and the commitments thereunder were terminated. In connection with the Rexnord Transaction, Land also entered into a debt commitment letter (the "Land Commitment Letter") and related fee letters with Barclays, pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Barclays committed to provide approximately$487.0 million of bridge loans under a 364-day senior bridge loan facility to be used to pay the Land Cash Payment. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement Land has entered into a permitted alternative financing to replace the commitments under the Land Commitment Letter. In particular, onMay 14 , 20201 Land entered into a Credit Agreement withJPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A ., as Administrative Agent and the lenders named therein, providing for a delayed draw term loan facility with commitments thereunder in an aggregate principal amount of$487.0 million , maturing inAugust 2023 (the "DDTL Facility"). Subject to satisfaction of the conditions therein, the DDTL Facility may be drawn in connection with the consummation of the Rexnord Transaction in order to fund the Land Cash Payment. The loans under the DDTL Facility will bear interest at floating rates, plus an applicable margin determined by reference to a consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio or at an alternative base rate. Upon the effectiveness of the DDTL Facility, the Land Commitment Letter and the commitments thereunder were terminated. If the Rexnord Transaction is consummated, the indebtedness contemplated by the Land Commitment Letter and DDTL Facility will become indebtedness of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. We anticipate incurring significant fees and expenses in connection with the Rexnord Transaction, the amount of which is uncertain. In addition, the amount of the Company Special Dividend depends on the number of additional shares of our common stock that must be issued in connection with the Rexnord Transaction in order to satisfy tax requirements applicable to aReverse Morris Trust transaction. The size of the dividend that will ultimately be declared is uncertain and will remain so until the closing of the Rexnord Transaction.
