STERIS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
STERIS Corporation, an Ohio corporation, develops, manufactures and markets infection prevention, contamination control, microbial reduction, and surgical and critical care support products and services for healthcare, pharmaceutical, scientific, research, industrial, and governmental Customers throughout the world. As used in this Quarterly Report, STERIS Corporation and its subsidiaries together are called “STERIS,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” unless otherwise noted.
We operate in three reportable business segments: Healthcare, Life Sciences, and STERIS Isomedix Services (“Isomedix”). We describe our business segments in note 10 to our consolidated financial statements titled, “Business Segment Information.” Our fiscal year ends on March 31. References in this Quarterly Report to a particular “year” or “year-end” mean our fiscal year. The significant accounting policies applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are summarized below:
Interim Financial Statements
We prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. This means that they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments (including normal recurring accruals and adjustments) management believes are necessary to fairly state our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
These interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013 dated May 30, 2013. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2013 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
We use the consolidation method to report our investment in our subsidiaries. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. We eliminate inter-company accounts and transactions when we consolidate these accounts.
Use of Estimates
We make certain estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements according to U.S. GAAP that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the financial statement dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. These estimates and assumptions involve judgments with respect to many factors that are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. Actual results could be materially different from these estimates. We revise the estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available. This means that operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future quarters or for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Impacting the Company
In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update titled "Presentation of Comprehensive Income: Reclassification Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," amending Accounting Standards Codification ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income". This amended guidance requires an entity to report information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component. In addition, for significant items reclassified from
7
STERIS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
(dollars in thousands)
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to net income in their entirety, during the same reporting period, entities are required to report the effect on the line items on the face of the statement where net income is presented, or in the notes. For significant items that are not classified to net income in their entirety, entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional information about those amounts. The standards update is effective prospectively for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2014. The adoption of this standard is not expected to impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2012, the FASB issued an accounting standards update titled "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," amending certain sections of Subtopic 350-30 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. This amended guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If based on its qualitative assessment an entity concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. The standards update is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
A detailed description of our significant and critical accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions is included in our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013 dated May 30, 2013. Our significant and critical accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions have not changed materially from March 31, 2013.
2. Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Amounts in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) are presented net of the related tax. Foreign Currency Translation is not adjusted for income taxes. Changes in our Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) balances, net of tax, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were as follows:

4. Inventories, Net
Inventories, net are stated at the lower of cost or market. We use the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) and first-in, first-out cost methods. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made only at the end of the fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and are subject to the final fiscal year-end LIFO inventory valuation. Inventory costs include material, labor, and overhead. Inventories, net consisted of the following:

7. Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense includes United States federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes, and is based on reported pre-tax income. The effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were 10.9% and 33.4%, respectively. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we benefited from the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the settlement of a federal tax examination.
Income tax expense is provided on an interim basis based upon our estimate of the annual effective income tax rate, adjusted each quarter for discrete items. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, we analyze various factors, including projections of our annual earnings and taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, our ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carry forwards, and available tax planning alternatives.
As of March 31, 2013, we had $9,362 in unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would favorably impact the tax rate if recognized. Of this amount, $9,244 was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 as a result of a federal audit settlement. As of June 30, 2013, we had $118 in unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would favorably impact the tax rate if recognized. We believe that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by up to $118 within 12 months of June 30, 2013, primarily as a result of the lapse of statute of limitations. As of June 30, 2013, we have recognized a liability for interest of $35 and penalties of $31.
We operate in numerous taxing jurisdictions and are subject to regular examinations by various United States federal, state and local, as well as foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to United States federal examinations for years before fiscal 2013 and, with limited exceptions, we are no longer subject to United States state and local, or non-United States, income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal 2009. We remain subject to tax authority audits in various jurisdictions wherever we do business. We do not expect the results of these examinations to have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial statements.

8. Benefit Plans
We provide pension benefits for certain former manufacturing and plant administrative personnel as determined by collective bargaining agreements or employee benefit standards set at the time of acquisition of certain businesses. In addition to providing pension benefits to certain employees, we sponsor an unfunded postretirement welfare benefits plan for two groups of United States employees; including some of the same employees who receive pension benefits. Benefits under this plan include retiree life insurance and retiree medical coverage, including prescription drug coverage. Additional information regarding our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits plan is included in our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013, dated May 30, 2013.
Components of the net periodic benefit cost for our defined benefit pension plan and other postretirement medical benefits plan were as follows:
Defined Benefit Pension Plan | Other Postretirement Benefits Plan | ||||||||||||||||
Three Months Ended June 30, | 2013 | 2012 | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||||||
Service cost | $ | 40 | $ | 37 | $ | — | $ | — | |||||||||
Interest cost | 450 | 523 | 171 | 217 | |||||||||||||
Expected return on plan assets | (861 | ) | (834 | ) | — | — | |||||||||||
Amortization of loss | 365 | 333 | 223 | 181 | |||||||||||||
Amortization of prior service cost | — | — | (816 | ) | (816 | ) | |||||||||||
Net periodic benefit cost (income) | $ | (6 | ) | $ | 59 | $ | (422 | ) | $ | (418 | ) | ||||||
We contribute amounts to the defined benefit pension plan at least sufficient to meet the minimum requirements as stated in applicable employee benefit laws and local tax laws. We record liabilities for the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation (the projected benefit obligation for pension plan and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for other postretirement benefits plan) on our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
9. Commitments and contingencies
We are, and will likely continue to be, involved in a number of legal proceedings, government investigations, and claims, which we believe generally arise in the course of our business, given our size, history, complexity, and the nature of our business, products, Customers, regulatory environment, and industries in which we participate. These legal proceedings, investigations and claims generally involve a variety of legal theories and allegations, including, without limitation, personal injury (e.g., slip and falls, burns, vehicle accidents), product liability or regulation (e.g., based on product operation or claimed malfunction, failure to warn, failure to meet specification, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements), product exposure (e.g., claimed exposure to chemicals, asbestos, contaminants, radiation), property damage (e.g., claimed damage due to leaking equipment, fire, vehicles, chemicals), commercial claims (e.g., breach of contract, economic loss, warranty, misrepresentation), financial (e.g., taxes, reporting), employment (e.g., wrongful termination, discrimination, benefits matters), and other claims for damage and relief.
We believe we have adequately reserved for our current litigation and claims that are probable and estimable, and further believe that the ultimate outcome of these pending lawsuits and claims will not have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations taken as a whole. Due to their inherent uncertainty, however, there can be no assurance of the ultimate outcome or effect of current or future litigation, investigations, claims or other proceedings (including without limitation the matters discussed below). For certain types of claims, we presently maintain insurance coverage for personal injury and property damage and other liability coverages in amounts and with deductibles that we believe are prudent, but there can be no assurance that these coverages will be applicable or adequate to cover adverse outcomes of claims or legal proceedings against us.
As previously disclosed, we received a warning letter (the “warning letter”) from the FDA on May 16, 2008 regarding our SYSTEM 1® sterile processor and the STERIS 20 sterilant used with the processor (sometimes referred to collectively in the FDA letter and in this note 9 as the “device”). Among other matters, the warning letter included the FDA's assertion that significant changes or modifications had been made in the design, components, method of manufacture, or intended use of the
11

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
(dollars in thousands)
device beyond the FDA's 1988 clearance, such that the FDA believed a new premarket notification submission (known within FDA regulations as a 510(k) submission) should have been made, and the assertion that our failure to make such a submission resulted in violations of applicable law.
After ongoing discussions with the FDA, in April 2010 we reached agreement with the FDA on the terms of a consent decree (“Consent Decree”). On April 19, 2010, a Complaint and Consent Decree were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, and on April 20, 2010, the Court approved the Consent Decree. In general, the Consent Decree addresses regulatory matters regarding SYSTEM 1, restricts further sales of SYSTEM 1 processors in the U.S., defines certain documentation and other requirements for continued service and support of SYSTEM 1 in the U.S., prohibits the sale of liquid chemical sterilization or disinfection products in the U.S. that do not have FDA clearance, describes various process and compliance matters, and defines penalties in the event of violation of the Consent Decree. The Consent Decree also provided the terms under which we temporarily continued to support our Customers' use of SYSTEM 1 in the U.S., including the sale of consumables, parts and accessories and service for a transition period (the “Transition Plan”), which included the “SYSTEM 1 Rebate Program”.
The Consent Decree has defined the resolution of a number of issues regarding SYSTEM 1, and we believe our actions with respect to SYSTEM 1, including the Transition Plan, were and are not recalls, corrections or removals under FDA regulations. However, there is no assurance that these or other claims will not be brought or that judicial, regulatory, administrative or other legal or enforcement actions, notices or remedies will not be pursued, or that action will not be taken in respect of the Consent Decree, the Transition Plan, SYSTEM 1, or otherwise with respect to regulatory or compliance matters, as described in this note and in various portions of Item 1A. of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on May 30, 2013.
On May 31, 2012, our Albert Browne Limited subsidiary received a warning letter from the FDA regarding chemical indicators manufactured in the United Kingdom. These devices are intended for the monitoring of certain sterilization and other processes. The FDA warning letter states that the agency has concerns regarding operational business processes. We do not believe that the FDA's concerns are related to product performance, or that they result from Customer complaints. We have reviewed our processes with the agency and finalized our remediation measures, and are awaiting FDA reinspection. We do not currently believe that the impact of this event will have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
Other civil, criminal, regulatory or other proceedings involving our products or services also could possibly result in judgments, settlements or administrative or judicial decrees requiring us, among other actions, to pay damages or fines or effect recalls, or be subject to other governmental, Customer or other third party claims or remedies, which could materially affect our business, performance, prospects, value, financial condition, and results of operations.
For additional information regarding these matters, see the following portions of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013: “Business - Information with respect to our Business in General - Government Regulation”, and the “Risk Factor” titled “We may be adversely affected by product liability claims or other legal actions or regulatory or compliance matters, including the Warning Letter and Consent Decree” and the "Risk Factor” titled “Compliance with the Consent Decree may be more costly and burdensome than anticipated.”
From time to time, STERIS is also involved in legal proceedings as a plaintiff involving contract, patent protection, and other claims asserted by us. Gains, if any, from these proceedings are recognized when they are realized.
We are subject to taxation from United States federal, state and local, and foreign jurisdictions. Tax positions are settled primarily through the completion of audits within each individual jurisdiction or the closing of statute of limitation. Changes in applicable tax law or other events may also require us to revise past estimates.
Additional information regarding our contingencies is included in Item 7 of Part II titled, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013 dated May 30, 2013, and in Item 1 of Part II of this Form 10-Q titled, “Legal Proceedings.”
10. Business Segment Information
We operate and report in three business segments: Healthcare, Life Sciences, and Isomedix. Corporate and other, which is presented separately, contains the Defense and Industrial business unit plus costs that are associated with being a publicly traded company and certain other corporate costs.
Our Healthcare segment manufactures and sells capital equipment, accessory, consumable, and service solutions to healthcare providers, including acute care hospitals, surgery and gastrointestinal centers. These solutions aid our Customers in
12
STERIS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
(dollars in thousands)
improving the safety, quality, and productivity of their surgical, sterile processing, gastrointestinal, and emergency environments.
Our Life Sciences segment manufactures and sells capital equipment, formulated cleaning chemistries, and service solutions to pharmaceutical companies, and private and public research facilities around the globe.
Our Isomedix segment operates through a network of facilities located in North America. We sell a comprehensive array of contract sterilization services using gamma irradiation and ethylene oxide (“EO”) technologies. We provide microbial reduction services based on Customer specifications to companies that supply products to the healthcare, industrial, and consumer products industries.
Financial information for each of our segments is presented in the following table. Operating income (loss) for each segment is calculated as the segment’s gross profit less direct expenses and indirect cost allocations, which results in the full allocation of all distribution and research and development expenses, and the partial allocation of corporate costs. These allocations are based upon variables such as segment headcount and revenues. In addition, the Healthcare segment is responsible for the management of all but one manufacturing facility and uses standard cost to sell products to the Life Sciences segment. Corporate and other includes the gross profit and direct expenses of the Defense and Industrial business unit, as well as certain unallocated corporate costs related to being a publicly traded company and legacy pension and post-retirement benefits.
The accounting policies for reportable segments are the same as those for the consolidated Company. For the three month period ended June 30, 2013, revenues from a single Customer did not represent ten percent or more of any reportable segment’s revenues. Additional information regarding our segments is included in our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013, dated May 30, 2013.

11. Common Shares
We calculate basic earnings per common share based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We calculate diluted earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common share equivalents calculated using the treasury stock method. The following is a summary of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share:

12. Repurchases of Common Shares
During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we repurchased 106,195 of our common shares as part of our Board authorized repurchase program and obtained 20,307 of our common shares in connection with stock based compensation award programs. At June 30, 2013, $106,948 of STERIS common shares remained authorized for repurchase pursuant to the most recent Board approved repurchase authorization (the March 2008 Board Authorization). Also, 10,845,657 common shares were held in treasury at June 30, 2013.
13. Share-Based Compensation
We maintain a long-term incentive plan that makes available common shares for grants, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to officers, directors, and key employees in the form of stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units, and stock appreciation rights. Stock options provide the right to purchase our common shares at the market price on the date of grant, subject to the terms of the option plans and agreements. Generally, one-fourth of the stock options granted become exercisable for each full year of employment following the grant date. Stock options granted generally expire 10 years after the grant date, or earlier if the option holder is no longer employed by us. Restricted shares and restricted share units generally may cliff vest after a three or four year period or vest in tranches of one-fourth of the number granted for each full year of employment after the grant date. As of June 30, 2013, 3,397,689 shares remained available for grant under the long-term incentive plan.
The fair value of share-based compensation awards was estimated at their grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. This model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable, characteristics that are not present in our option grants. If the model permitted consideration of the unique characteristics of employee stock options, the resulting estimate of the fair value of the stock options could be different. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The expense is classified as cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses in a manner consistent with the employee’s compensation and benefits.
The following weighted-average assumptions were used for options granted during the first three months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013:

(dollars in thousands)
Fiscal 2014 | Fiscal 2013 | |||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.89 | % | 1.22 | % | ||
Expected life of options | 5.62 years | 5.64 years | ||||
Expected dividend yield of stock | 2.23 | % | 2.14 | % | ||
Expected volatility of stock | 31.33 | % | 31.19 | % | ||
The risk-free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The expected life of options is reflective of historical experience, vesting schedules and contractual terms. The expected dividend yield of stock represents our best estimate of the expected future dividend yield. The expected volatility of stock is derived by referring to our historical stock prices over a time frame similar to that of the expected life of the grant. An estimated forfeiture rate of 1.44% and 1.83% was applied in fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. This rate is calculated based upon historical activity and represents an estimate of the granted options not expected to vest. If actual forfeitures differ from this calculated rate, we may be required to make additional adjustments to compensation expense in future periods. The assumptions used above are reviewed at the time of each significant option grant, or at least annually.
A summary of share option activity is as follows:
Number of Options | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Average Remaining Contractual Term | Aggregate Intrinsic Value | ||||||||||
Outstanding at March 31, 2013 | 2,657,133 | $ | 28.40 | ||||||||||
Granted | 304,600 | 45.34 | |||||||||||
Exercised | (322,117 | ) | 25.75 | ||||||||||
Forfeited | (2,050 | ) | 31.65 | ||||||||||
Canceled | (450 | ) | 23.62 | ||||||||||
Outstanding at June 30, 2013 | 2,637,116 | $ | 30.68 | 6.03 years | $ | 32,915 | |||||||
Exercisable at June 30, 2013 | 1,930,934 | $ | 28.00 | 4.96 years | $ | 28,732 | |||||||
We estimate that 691,291 of the non-vested stock options outstanding at June 30, 2013 will ultimately vest.
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax difference between the $42.88 closing price of our common shares on June 30, 2013 over the exercise prices of the stock options, multiplied by the number of options outstanding or outstanding and exercisable, as applicable. The aggregate intrinsic value is not recorded for financial accounting purposes and the value changes daily based on the daily changes in the fair market value of our common shares.
The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the first three months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 was $6,053 and $1,364, respectively. Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $8,482 and $3,457 for the first three months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively. The tax benefit from stock option exercises was $718 and $525 for the first three months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.
The weighted average grant date fair value of stock option grants was $10.53 and $7.18 for the first three months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.
Stock appreciation rights (“SARS”) carry generally the same terms and vesting requirements as stock options except that they are settled in cash upon exercise and therefore, are classified as liabilities. The fair value of the outstanding SARS as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1,211 and $767, respectively. The fair value of outstanding SARs is revalued at each reporting date and the related liability and expense are adjusted appropriately.
A summary of the non-vested restricted share activity is presented below:

Non-vested at June 30, 2013 | 924,234 | 14,826 | $ | 36.16 | ||||||
Restricted shares granted are valued based on the closing stock price at the grant date. The value of restricted shares that vested during the first three months of fiscal 2014 was $1,625.
Cash settled restricted share units carry generally the same terms and vesting requirements as stock settled restricted share units except that they are settled in cash upon vesting and therefore, are classified as liabilities. The fair value of outstanding cash-settled restricted share units as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1,186 and $1,091, respectively. The fair value of each cash-settled restricted share unit is revalued at each reporting date and the related liability and expense are adjusted appropriately.
As of June 30, 2013, there was a total of $28,056 in unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation granted under our share-based compensation plans. We expect to recognize the cost over a weighted average period of 2.66 years.
14. Financial and Other Guarantees
We generally offer a limited parts and labor warranty on capital equipment. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending on the product sold and the countries where we conduct business. We record a liability for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time product revenues are recognized. The amounts we expect to incur on behalf of our Customers for the future estimated cost of these warranties are recorded as a current liability on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Factors that affect the amount of our warranty liability include the number and type of installed units, historical and anticipated rates of product failures, and material and service costs per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts as necessary.
Changes in our warranty liability during the first three months of fiscal 2014 were as follows:
Balance, March 31, 2013 | $ | 12,734 | |
Warranties issued during the period | 997 | ||
Settlements made during the period | (2,430 | ) | |
Balance, June 30, 2013 | $ | 11,301 | |
We also sell product maintenance contracts to our Customers. These contracts range in terms from one to five years and require us to maintain and repair the product over the maintenance contract term. We initially record amounts due from Customers under these contracts as a liability for deferred service contract revenue on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets within “Accrued expenses and other.” The liability recorded for such deferred service revenue was $33,035 and $35,258 as of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. Such deferred revenue is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term and recognized as service revenue on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. The activity related to the liability for deferred service contract revenue is excluded from the table presented above.
15. Forward and Swap Contracts
From time to time, we enter into forward contracts to hedge potential foreign currency gains and losses that arise from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, including inter-company transactions. We also enter into commodity swap
16
STERIS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
(dollars in thousands)
contracts to hedge price changes in a certain commodity that impacts raw materials included in our cost of revenues. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and do not receive hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in their fair value are not deferred but are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Income. At June 30, 2013, we held foreign currency forward contracts to buy 114.7 million Mexican peso's, 9.0 million Canadian dollars, and 3.0 million Euros and to sell 3.5 million Swiss francs. At June 30, 2013, we held commodity swap contracts to buy 25 thousand pounds of nickel.

16. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using available market information and generally accepted valuation methodologies. The inputs used to measure fair value are classified into three tiers. These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the entity to develop its own assumptions. The following table shows the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2013:

(1) Money market fund holdings are classified as level two as active market quoted prices are not available.
(2) The fair values of forward and swap contracts are based on period-end forward rates and reflect the value of the amount that we would pay or receive for the contracts involving the same notional amounts and maturity dates.
(3) We maintain a frozen domestic non-qualified deferred compensation plan covering certain employees, which allows for the deferral of payment of previously earned compensation for an employee-specified term or until retirement or termination. Amounts deferred can be allocated to various hypothetical investment options (compensation deferrals have been frozen under the plan). We hold investments to satisfy the future obligations of the plan. Changes in the value of the investment accounts are recognized each period based on the fair value of the underlying investments. Employees who made deferrals are entitled to receive distributions of their hypothetical account balances (amounts deferred, together with earnings (losses)).
(4) We estimate the fair value of our long-term debt using discounted cash flow analyses, based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
(5) Contingent consideration obligations arise from prior business acquisitions. The fair values are based on discounted cash flow analyses reflecting the possible achievement of specified performance measures or events and captures the contractual nature of the contingencies, commercial risk, and the time value of money. Contingent consideration obligations are classified in the consolidated balance sheets as accrued expense (short-term) and other liabilities (long-term), as appropriate based on the contractual payment dates.
The changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013 are summarized as follows:

We have evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were filed with the SEC, noting no events that require adjustment of, or disclosure in, the consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2013. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Review Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Shareholders
STERIS Corporation
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of STERIS Corporation and subsidiaries, as of June 30, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of STERIS Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements in our report dated May 30, 2013. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of STERIS Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Introduction
In Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the “MD&A”), we explain the general financial condition and the results of operations for STERIS including:
• | what factors affect our business; |
• | what our earnings and costs were in each period presented; |
• | why those earnings and costs were different from prior periods; |
• | where our earnings came from; |
• | how this affects our overall financial condition; |
• | what our expenditures for capital projects were; and |

As you read the MD&A, it may be helpful to refer to information in our consolidated financial statements, which present the results of our operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013. It may also be helpful to read the MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013, dated May 30, 2013. In the MD&A, we analyze and explain the period-over-period changes in the specific line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Our analysis may be important to you in making decisions about your investments in STERIS.
Financial Measures
In the following sections of the MD&A, we may, at times, refer to financial measures that are not required to be presented in the consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP. We sometimes use the following financial measures in the context of this report: backlog; debt-to-total capital; net debt-to-total capital; and days sales outstanding. We define these financial measures as follows:
• | Backlog – We define backlog as the amount of unfilled capital equipment purchase orders at a point in time. We use this figure as a measure to assist in the projection of short-term financial results and inventory requirements. |
• | Debt-to-total capital – We define debt-to-total capital as total debt divided by the sum of total debt and shareholders’ equity. We use this figure as a financial liquidity measure to gauge our ability to borrow and fund growth. |
• | Net debt-to-total capital – We define net debt-to-total capital as total debt less cash (“net debt”) divided by the sum of net debt and shareholders’ equity. We also use this figure as a financial liquidity measure to gauge our ability to borrow and fund growth. |
• | Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) – We define DSO as the average collection period for accounts receivable. It is calculated as net accounts receivable divided by the trailing four quarters’ revenues, multiplied by 365 days. We use this figure to help gauge the quality of accounts receivable and expected time to collect. |
We, at times, may also refer to financial measures which are considered to be “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. We have presented these financial measures because we believe that meaningful analysis of our financial performance is enhanced by an understanding of certain additional factors underlying that performance. These financial measures should not be considered an alternative to measures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our calculations of these measures may differ from calculations of similar measures used by other companies and you should be careful when comparing these financial measures to those of other companies. Additional information regarding these financial measures, including reconciliations of each non- GAAP financial measure, is available in the subsection of MD&A titled, "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Revenues – Defined
As required by Regulation S-X, we separately present revenues generated as either product revenues or service revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Income for each period presented. When we discuss revenues, we may, at times, refer to revenues summarized differently than the Regulation S-X requirements. The terminology, definitions, and applications of terms that we use to describe revenues may be different from terms used by other companies. We use the following terms to describe revenues:
21
• | Revenues – Our revenues are presented net of sales returns and allowances. |
• | Product Revenues – We define product revenues as revenues generated from sales of consumable and capital equipment products. |
• | Service Revenues – We define service revenues as revenues generated from parts and labor associated with the maintenance, repair, and installation of our capital equipment, instrument repair services, and revenues generated from contract sterilization offered through our Isomedix segment. |
• | Capital Revenues – We define capital revenues as revenues generated from sales of capital equipment, which includes steam sterilizers, low temperature liquid chemical sterilant processing systems, including SYSTEM 1 and 1E, washing systems, VHP® technology, water stills, and pure steam generators; surgical lights and tables; and integrated OR. |
• | Consumable Revenues – We define consumable revenues as revenues generated from sales of the consumable family of products, which includes SYSTEM 1 and 1E consumables, V-Pro consumables, gastrointestinal endoscopy accessories, sterility assurance products, skin care products, cleaning consumables, and surgical instruments. |
• | Recurring Revenues – We define recurring revenues as revenues generated from sales of consumable products and service revenues. |
General Company Overview and Executive Summary
Our mission is to provide a healthier today and safer tomorrow through knowledgeable people and innovative infection prevention, decontamination and health science technologies, products, and services. Our dedicated employees around the world work together to supply a broad range of solutions by offering a combination of capital equipment, consumables, and services to healthcare, pharmaceutical, industrial, and governmental Customers.
The bulk of our revenues are derived from the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. Much of the growth in these industries is driven by the aging of the population throughout the world, as an increasing number of individuals are entering their prime healthcare consumption years, and is dependent upon advancement in healthcare delivery, acceptance of new technologies, government policies, and general economic conditions. In addition, each of our core industries is experiencing specific trends that could increase demand. Within healthcare, there is increased concern regarding the level of hospital-acquired infections around the world. The pharmaceutical industry has been impacted by increased FDA scrutiny of cleaning and validation processes, mandating that manufacturers improve their processes. The aging population increases the demand for medical procedures, which increases the consumption of single use medical devices and surgical kits processed by our Isomedix segment.
We are actively pursuing new opportunities to adapt our proven technologies to meet the changing needs of the global marketplace.
We also are pursuing a strategy of expanding into adjacent markets with acquisitions in the Healthcare segment. In August 2012, we purchased United States Endoscopy Group, a leader in the design, manufacture and sale of therapeutic and diagnostic medical devices and support accessories used in the gastrointestinal endoscopy markets worldwide. In October 2012, we acquired Spectrum Surgical Instruments Corp and Total Repair Express, providers of surgical instrument repair services and instrument care products to hospitals and surgery centers in the United States. And in December 2012, we purchased the remaining interests in our OR integration joint venture, VTS Medical Systems, LLC.
We are also investing in several manufacturing insourcing projects for the purpose of improving quality, cost and delivery of our products to our Customers.
Fiscal 2014 first quarter revenues were $367.7 million, representing an increase of 9.1% over the prior year, reflecting increases from fiscal 2013 acquisitions and within the Isomedix business segment. Our gross margin percentage for the fiscal 2014 first quarter was 39.9% compared to 40.7% in the same fiscal 2013 period. The gross margin percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was negatively impacted by the Medical Device Excise Tax, investments in in-sourcing and unfavorable mix, offset by positive gross margin impact from our acquisitions. Fiscal 2014 first quarter operating income was $41.0 million compared with $48.3 million for the fiscal 2013 first quarter. The decline in operating income is attributable to the lower gross margin attainment as well as higher research and development spending and the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Cash flows from operations were $32.7 million and free cash flow was $11.0 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to $61.3 million and $45.7 million in the prior year first three months, respectively (see the subsection below titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures", for additional information and related reconciliation of cash flows from operations to free cash flow). The expected declines in cash flow from operations and free cash flow are primarily due to payments for our annual incentive compensation program as well as the impact of strong working capital improvements in the prior year period. Our debt-to-total capital ratio was 34.6% at June 30, 2013 and 34.3% at March 31, 2013. During the first three months of fiscal 2014, we declared and paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.19 per common share.

Additional information regarding our fiscal 2014 first quarter financial performance is included in the subsection below titled “Results of Operations.”
Matters Affecting Comparability
International Operations. Since we conduct operations outside of the United States using various foreign currencies, our operating results are impacted by foreign currency movements relative to the U.S. dollar. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, our revenues were unfavorably impacted by $0.3 million, or 0.09%, and income before taxes was unfavorably impacted by $2.2 million, or 5.83%, as a result of foreign currency movements relative to the U.S. dollar.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We, at times, refer to financial measures which are considered to be “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. We, at times, also refer to our results of operations excluding certain transactions or amounts that are non-recurring or are not indicative of future results, in order to provide meaningful comparisons between the periods presented.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, considered separately from or as an alternative to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
These non-GAAP financial measures are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to supplemental financial information used by management and the Board of Directors in their financial analysis and operational decision-making. These amounts are disclosed so that the reader has the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist investors and other readers in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our operations for the periods presented.
We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered along with our GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide the reader with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. It is important for the reader to note that the non-GAAP financial measure used may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, a similarly titled measure used by other companies.
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows less purchases of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles plus proceeds from the sale of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles, which are also presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We use this as a measure to gauge our ability to fund future debt principal repayments, growth outside of core operations, repurchase common shares, and pay cash dividends. The following table summarizes the calculation of our free cash flow for the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Results of Operations
In the following subsections, we discuss our earnings and the factors affecting them for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the same fiscal 2013 period. We begin with a general overview of our operating results and then separately discuss earnings for our operating segments.
Revenues. The following table compares our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to the revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012:

Revenues increased $30.7 million, or 9.1%, to $367.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $337.0 million for the same prior year quarter. Capital equipment revenues decreased $14.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. This decrease was driven primarily by the decline in SYSTEM 1E unit shipments. Consumable revenues increased $23.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the prior year quarter, driven largely by the fiscal 2013 acquisitions within the Healthcare segment, and strong volumes in the United States within the Life Sciences business segment. Service revenues increased $21.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 primarily driven by the fiscal 2013 acquisition of the instrument repair businesses and increases in other service offerings.
United States revenues increased $25.9 million, or 9.9%, to $288.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $262.4 million for the same prior year quarter. This increase reflects growth in both consumable and service revenues, attributable largely to the fiscal 2013 acquisitions.
International revenues increased $4.7 million, or 6.4%, to $79.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $74.6 million for the same prior year quarter. This increase reflects revenue growth in product and service revenues within the Healthcare segment, particularly in the European and Latin America regions.
Gross Profit. The following table compares our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to the three months ended June 30, 2012:

Service | 36.9 | % | 39.8 | % | |||||||||||
Total gross profit percentage | 39.9 | % | 40.7 | % | |||||||||||
Our gross profit percentage is affected by the volume, pricing, and mix of sales of our products and services, as well as the costs associated with the products and services that are sold. Gross profit percentage for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 amounted to 39.9% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013 gross profit percentage of 40.7%. The gross profit percentage decreased 80 basis points. The positive gross margin impact from our fiscal year 2013 acquisitions (110 basis points) was more than offset by a decline from our investments in in-sourcing and the negative impact on gross margins from the decline in SYSTEM 1E revenue (combined 90 basis points). In addition, we incurred approximately $2 million from the
24
Medical Device Excise Tax and had unfavorable mix in our organic business during the quarter. In the prior year first fiscal quarter, a portion of our field service labor and parts costs were utilized to support warranty work and field upgrades and therefore were classified as selling, general and administrative costs.
Operating Expenses. The following table compares our operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to the three months ended June 30, 2012:

NM - Not meaningful.
Significant components of total selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) are compensation and benefit costs, fees for professional services, travel and entertainment, facilities costs, and other general and administrative expenses. The increase of 17.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 over the first quarter of fiscal 2013 is attributable to the addition of operating expenses incurred from our acquired businesses.
For the three month period ended June 30, 2013, research and development expenses increased 27.3% over the same period in prior year. Research and development expenses are influenced by the number and timing of in-process projects and labor hours and other costs associated with these projects. The fiscal 2014 period includes expenses for research and development incurred within the operations by the businesses acquired in fiscal 2013. Our research and development initiatives continue to emphasize new product development, product improvements, and the development of new technological platform innovations. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, our investments in research and development continued to be focused on, but were not limited to, enhancing capabilities of sterile processing combination technologies, surgical products and accessories, devices and support accessories used in gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures.
Non-Operating Expenses, Net. Non-operating expenses, net consists of interest expense on debt, offset by interest earned on cash, cash equivalents, short-term investment balances, and other miscellaneous income. The following table compares our net non-operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Income tax expense includes United States federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes, and is based on reported pre-tax income. The effective income tax rates for continuing operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 was 10.9% compared with 33.4% for the same prior year period. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we benefited from the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the settlement of a federal tax examination.
We record income tax expense during interim periods based on our estimate of the annual effective income tax rate, adjusted each quarter for discrete items. We analyze various factors to determine the estimated annual effective income tax rate, including projections of our annual earnings and taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, our ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, and available tax planning alternatives.
Business Segment Results of Operations. We operate in three reportable business segments: Healthcare, Life Sciences, and Isomedix. Corporate and other, which is presented separately, contains the Defense and Industrial business unit plus costs that are associated with being a publicly traded company and certain other corporate costs. These costs include executive office costs, Board of Directors compensation, shareholder services and investor relations, external audit fees, and legacy pension and post-retirement benefit costs. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013, dated May 30, 2013, provides additional information regarding each business segment. The following table compares business segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Healthcare revenues increased $29.4 million, or 12.8%, to $258.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $229.5 million for the same prior year quarter. This growth reflects to year over year increases in consumable and service revenues of 39.5% and 33.9%, respectively, attributable primarily to our fiscal 2013 acquisitions. Capital equipment revenues declined 11% due primarily to the decline in SYSTEM 1E unit shipments. At June 30, 2013, the Healthcare segment’s backlog amounted to $120.2 million, increasing $20.8 million, or 21%, compared to the backlog of $99.4 million at June 30, 2012.
Life Sciences revenues decreased $0.6 million, or 1.0%, to $59.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $60.5 million for the same prior year quarter. The growth of 7.7% in consumable revenues was not enough to offset the 7.4% decline in capital equipment revenues and 1.6% decline in service revenues. At June 30, 2013, the Life Sciences segment’s backlog amounted to $44.6 million, decreasing $2.8 million, or 5.9%, compared to the backlog of $47.4 million at June 30, 2012.
Isomedix segment revenues increased $2.2 million, or 4.7%, to $48.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $46.1 million for the same prior year quarter. Revenues were favorably impacted by demand from our medical device Customers.

Segment operating income is calculated as the segment’s gross profit less direct expenses and indirect cost allocations, which results in the full allocation of all distribution and research and development expenses, and the partial allocation of corporate costs. Corporate cost allocations are based on each segment’s percentage of revenues, headcount, or other variables in relation to those of the total Company. In addition, the Healthcare segment is responsible for the management of all but one manufacturing facility and uses standard cost to sell products to the Life Sciences segment. Corporate and other includes the revenues, gross profit and direct expenses of the Defense and Industrial business unit, as well as certain unallocated corporate costs related to being a publicly traded company and legacy pension and post-retirement benefits, as previously discussed.
The Healthcare segment’s operating income decreased $7.8 million to $14.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to $22.7 million in the same prior year period. The segment's operating margins were 5.8% and 9.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in operating income reflects the recently enacted Medical Device Excise Tax, higher spending on research and development, the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates, the timing of investments in in-sourcing and unfavorable organic mix, which more than offset the favorable impact of acquisitions.
The Life Sciences segment’s operating income increased $0.7 million to $12.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the same prior year period. The segment’s operating margins were 20.9% and 19.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase was the result of favorable product mix and continued operating leverage.
The Isomedix segment’s operating income decreased $0.9 million to $14.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the same prior year period. The segment’s operating margins were 30.5% and 33.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in volume was not enough to offset the impact of the costs associated with our recently expanded capacity.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities – The net cash provided by our operating activities was $32.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2014 as compared with $61.3 million for the first three months of fiscal 2013. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2014 is primarily due to payments made in connection with our annual incentive compensation program which did not occur in fiscal 2013. In addition, the fiscal 2013 period reflects strong improvements in working capital management.
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities – The net cash used in investing activities totaled $21.8 million for the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared with $15.5 million for the first three months of fiscal 2013. The following discussion summarizes the significant changes in our investing cash flows for the first three months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013:
• | Purchases of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles, net – Capital expenditures were $21.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2014 as compared to $15.5 million during the same prior year period. |
Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities – The net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $14.5 million for the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared with net cash used in financing activities of $7.0 million for the first three months of fiscal 2013. The following discussion summarizes the significant changes in our financing cash flows for the first three months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013:
• | Proceeds under credit facilities– At June 30, 2013, we had $103.7 million of debt outstanding under our revolving credit facility, reflecting net borrowings of $21.4 million. |
• | Repurchases of common shares – During the first three months of fiscal 2014, we paid for the repurchase of 91,195 of our common shares and obtained 20,307 of our common shares in connection with share-based compensation award programs for an aggregate amount of $4.8 million. During the same period in fiscal 2013, we obtained 42,151 of our common shares in connection with stock based compensation award programs in the aggregate amount of $1.1 million. |
• | Cash dividends paid to common shareholders – During the first three months of fiscal 2014, we paid total cash dividends of $11.2 million, or $0.19 per outstanding common share. During the first three months of fiscal 2013, we paid total cash dividends of $9.9 million, or $0.17 per outstanding common share. |
• | Stock option and other equity transactions, net – We receive cash for issuing common shares under our various employee stock option programs. During the first three months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, we received cash proceeds totaling $8.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, under these programs. |

Cash Flow Measures. Free cash flow was $11.0 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to $45.7 million in the prior year first three months (see the subsection above titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures", for additional information and related reconciliation of cash flows from operations to free cash flow). The decrease in free cash flows is primarily due to payments made in connection with our annual incentive compensation program as well as the impact of strong working capital improvements in fiscal 2013.
Our debt-to-total capital ratio was 34.6% at June 30, 2013 and 20.2% at June 30, 2012, reflecting increased borrowings subsequent to the first quarter of the prior year, in part to fund our fiscal 2013 acquisitions.
Sources of Credit and Contractual and Commercial Commitments. Information related to our sources of credit and contractual and commercial commitments is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013, dated May 30, 2013. Our commercial commitments were approximately $39.1 million at June 30, 2013 reflecting a net decrease of $6.7 million in surety bonds and other commercial commitments from March 31, 2013. Our outstanding borrowing under the Credit Agreement was $103.7 million as of June 30, 2013. There were no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2013.
Cash Requirements. Currently, we intend to use our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, cash generated from operations, and our existing credit facilities for short-term and long-term capital expenditures and our other liquidity needs. We believe that these amounts will be sufficient to meet working capital needs, capital requirements, and commitments for at least the next twelve months. However, our capital requirements will depend on many uncertain factors, including our rate of sales growth, our Customers’ acceptance of our products and services, the costs of obtaining adequate manufacturing capacities, the timing and extent of our research and development projects, and changes in our operating expenses. To the extent that our existing sources of cash are not sufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through additional borrowings or selling equity securities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Assumptions
Information related to our critical accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013, dated May 30, 2013. Our critical accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions have not changed materially from March 31, 2013.
Contingencies
We are, and will likely continue to be, involved in a number of legal proceedings, government investigations, and claims, which we believe generally arise in the course of our business, given our size, history, complexity, and the nature of our business, products, Customers, regulatory environment, and industries in which we participate. These legal proceedings, investigations and claims generally involve a variety of legal theories and allegations, including, without limitation, personal injury (e.g., slip and falls, burns, vehicle accidents), product liability or regulation (e.g., based on product operation or claimed malfunction, failure to warn, failure to meet specification, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements), product exposure (e.g., claimed exposure to chemicals, asbestos, contaminants, radiation), property damage (e.g., claimed damage due to leaking equipment, fire, vehicles, chemicals), commercial claims (e.g., breach of contract, economic loss, warranty, misrepresentation), financial (e.g., taxes, reporting), employment (e.g., wrongful termination, discrimination, benefits matters), and other claims for damage and relief.
We record a liability for such contingencies to the extent we conclude that their occurrence is both probable and estimable. We consider many factors in making these assessments, including the professional judgment of experienced members of management and our legal counsel. We have made estimates as to the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and the amounts of such potential losses. In our opinion, the ultimate outcome of these proceedings and claims is not anticipated to have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the ultimate outcome of proceedings, government investigations, and claims is unpredictable and actual results could be materially different from our estimates. We record expected recoveries under applicable insurance contracts when we are assured of recovery. Refer to Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings” for additional information.
We are subject to taxation from United States federal, state and local, and foreign jurisdictions. Tax positions are settled primarily through the completion of audits within each individual tax jurisdiction or the closing of a statute of limitation. Changes in applicable tax law or other events may also require us to revise past estimates. The IRS routinely conducts audits of
29
our federal income tax returns. We are no longer subject to United States federal examinations for years before fiscal 2013 and, with limited exceptions, we are no longer subject to United States state and local, or non-United States, income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal 2009. We remain subject to tax authority audits in various other jurisdictions in which we operate. If we prevail in matters for which accruals have been recorded, or are required to pay amounts in excess of recorded accruals, our effective income tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially impacted.
Additional information regarding our commitments and contingencies is included in note 9 to our consolidated financial statements titled, “Commitments and Contingencies.”
International Operations
Since we conduct operations outside of the United States using various foreign currencies, our operating results are impacted by foreign currency movements relative to the U.S. dollar. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, our revenues were unfavorably impacted by $0.3 million, or 0.09%, and income before taxes was unfavorably impacted by $2.2 million, or 5.83%, as a result of foreign currency movements relative to the U.S. dollar.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q may contain statements concerning certain trends, expectations, forecasts, estimates, or other forward-looking information affecting or relating to the Company or its industry, products or activities that are intended to qualify for the protections afforded "forward-looking statements" under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other laws and regulations. Forward-looking statements speak only as to the date of this report, and may be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as "may," "will," "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "estimates," "projects," "targets," "forecasts," "outlook," "impact," "potential," "confidence," "improve," "optimistic," "deliver," "comfortable," "trend", and "seeks," or the negative of such terms or other variations on such terms or comparable terminology. Many important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements including, without limitation, disruption of production or supplies, changes in market conditions, political events, pending or future claims or litigation, competitive factors, technology advances, actions of regulatory agencies, and changes in laws, government regulations, labeling or product approvals or the application or interpretation thereof. Other risk factors are described herein and in the Company's other securities filings, including Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013 dated May 30, 2013. Many of these important factors are outside STERIS's control. No assurances can be provided as to any result or the timing of any outcome regarding matters described herein or otherwise with respect to any regulatory action, administrative proceedings, government investigations, litigation, warning letters, consent decree, transition, cost reductions, business strategies, earnings or revenue trends or future financial results (including without limitation regulatory matters related to SYSTEM 1E or its accessories). References to products, the consent decree, the transition or rebate program, or the class action settlement, are summaries only and should not be considered the specific terms of the decree, settlement, program or product clearance or literature. Unless legally required, the Company does not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statements even if events make clear that any projected results, express or implied, will not be realized. Other potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, (a) the potential for increased pressure on pricing or costs that leads to erosion of profit margins, (b) the possibility that market demand will not develop for new technologies, products or applications, or business initiatives will take longer, cost more or produce lower benefits than anticipated, (c) the possibility that application of or compliance with laws, court rulings, certifications, regulations, regulatory actions, including without limitation those relating to FDA warning notices or letters, government investigations, the SYSTEM 1E device, the outcome of any pending FDA requests, inspections or submissions, or other requirements or standards may delay, limit or prevent new product introductions, affect the production and marketing of existing products or services or otherwise affect Company performance, results, prospects or value, (d) the potential of international unrest, economic downturn or effects of currencies, tax assessments, adjustments or anticipated rates, raw material costs or availability, benefit or retirement plan costs, or other regulatory compliance costs, (e) the possibility of reduced demand, or reductions in the rate of growth in demand, for the Company's products and services, (f) the possibility that anticipated growth, cost savings, new product acceptance, performance or approvals, including without limitation SYSTEM 1E and accessories thereto, or other results may not be achieved, or that transition, labor, competition, timing, execution, regulatory, governmental, or other issues or risks associated with our business, industry or initiatives including, without limitation, the consent decree, and the transition from the SYSTEM 1 processing system and adjustments to related reserves or those matters described in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013 and other securities filings, may adversely impact Company performance, results, prospects or value, (g) the possibility that anticipated financial results or benefits of recent acquisitions will not be realized or will be other than anticipated, (h) the effect of the contraction in credit availability, as well as the ability of our Customers and suppliers to adequately access the credit markets when needed, and (i) those risks described in our securities filings including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to interest rate, foreign currency, and commodity risks. Information related to these risks and our management of these exposures is included in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013, dated May 30, 2013. Our exposures to market risks have not changed materially since March 31, 2013.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, including the assessment and input of our management, the PEO and PFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
We are, and will likely continue to be, involved in a number of legal proceedings, government investigations, and claims, which we believe generally arise in the course of our business, given our size, history, complexity, and the nature of our business, products, Customers, regulatory environment, and industries in which we participate. These legal proceedings, investigations and claims generally involve a variety of legal theories and allegations, including, without limitation, personal injury (e.g., slip and falls, burns, vehicle accidents), product liability or regulation (e.g., based on product operation or claimed malfunction, failure to warn, failure to meet specification, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements), product exposure (e.g., claimed exposure to chemicals, asbestos, contaminants, radiation), property damage (e.g., claimed damage due to leaking equipment, fire, vehicles, chemicals), commercial claims (e.g., breach of contract, economic loss, warranty, misrepresentation), financial (e.g., taxes, reporting), employment (e.g., wrongful termination, discrimination, benefits matters), and other claims for damage and relief.
We believe we have adequately reserved for our current litigation and claims that are probable and estimable, and further believe that the ultimate outcome of these pending lawsuits and claims will not have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations taken as a whole. Due to their inherent uncertainty, however, there can be no assurance of the ultimate outcome or effect of current or future litigation, investigations, claims or other proceedings (including without limitation the FDA-related matters discussed below). For certain types of claims, we presently maintain insurance coverage for personal injury and property damage and other liability coverages in amounts and with deductibles that we believe are prudent, but there can be no assurance that these coverages will be applicable or adequate to cover adverse outcomes of claims or legal proceedings against us.
As previously disclosed, we received a warning letter (the “warning letter”) from the FDA on May 16, 2008 regarding our SYSTEM 1 sterile processor and the STERIS® 20 sterilant used with the processor (sometimes referred to collectively in the FDA letter and in this Item 1 as the “device”). Among other matters, the warning letter included the FDA's assertion that significant changes or modifications had been made in the design, components, method of manufacture, or intended use of the device beyond the FDA's 1988 clearance, such that the FDA believed a new premarket notification submission (known within FDA regulations as a 510(k) submission) should have been made, and the assertion that our failure to make such a submission resulted in violations of applicable law.
After ongoing discussions with the FDA, in April 2010 we reached agreement with the FDA on the terms of a consent decree (“Consent Decree”). On April 19, 2010, a Complaint and Consent Decree were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, and on April 20, 2010, the Court approved the Consent Decree. In general, the Consent Decree addresses regulatory matters regarding SYSTEM 1, restricts further sales of SYSTEM 1 processors in the U.S., defines certain documentation and other requirements for continued service and support of SYSTEM 1 in the U.S., prohibits the sale of liquid chemical sterilization or disinfection products in the U.S. that do not have FDA clearance, describes various process and compliance matters, and defines penalties in the event of violation of the Consent Decree. The Consent Decree also provided the terms under which we temporarily continued to support our Customers' use of SYSTEM 1 in the U.S., including the sale of consumables, parts and accessories and service for a transition period (the “Transition Plan”), which included the “SYSTEM 1 Rebate Program”.
The Consent Decree has defined the resolution of a number of issues regarding SYSTEM 1, and we believe our actions with respect to SYSTEM 1, including the Transition Plan, were and are not recalls, corrections or removals under FDA regulations. However, there is no assurance that these or other claims will not be brought or that judicial, regulatory, administrative or other legal or enforcement actions, notices or remedies will not be pursued, or that action will not be taken in respect of the Consent Decree, the Transition Plan, SYSTEM 1, or otherwise with respect to regulatory or compliance matters, as described in this Item 1 and in various portions of Item 1 and Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013, dated May 30, 2013.
On May 31, 2012, our Albert Browne Limited subsidiary received a warning letter from the FDA regarding chemical indicators manufactured in the United Kingdom. These devices are intended for the monitoring of certain sterilization and other processes. The FDA warning letter states that the agency has concerns regarding operational business processes. We do not believe that the FDA's concerns are related to product performance, or that they result from Customer complaints. We have reviewed our processes with the agency and finalized our remediation measures, and are awaiting FDA reinspection. We do not currently believe that the impact of this event will have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
Other civil, criminal, regulatory or other proceedings involving our products or services also could possibly result in judgments, settlements or administrative or judicial decrees requiring us, among other actions, to pay damages or fines or effect recalls, or be subject to other governmental, Customer or other third party claims or remedies, which could materially affect our business, performance, prospects, value, financial condition, and results of operations.

For additional information regarding these matters, see the following portions of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013: “Business - Information with respect to our Business in General - Government Regulation”, and the “Risk Factor” titled: “We may be adversely affected by product liability claims or other legal actions or regulatory or compliance matters, including the Consent Decree” and the “Risk Factor” titled “Compliance with the Consent Decree may be more costly and burdensome than anticipated.”
From time to time, STERIS is also involved in legal proceedings as a plaintiff involving contract, patent protection, and other claims asserted by us. Gains, if any, from these proceedings are recognized when they are realized.
Additional information regarding our contingencies is included in Item 7 of Part II, titled “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013, dated May 30, 2013, and in this Form 10-Q in note 9 to our consolidated financial statements titled "Commitments and Contingencies."
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
We believe there have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, dated May 30, 2013, that would materially affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we obtained 20,307 of our common shares in connection with stock based compensation award programs. We also repurchased 106,195 of our common shares during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. These repurchases were made pursuant to a single repurchase program which was approved by our Board of Directors and announced on March 14, 2008, authorizing the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of our common shares. As of June 30, 2013, $106.9 million in common shares remained authorized for repurchase under this authorization. This common share repurchase authorization does not have a stated maturity date. The following table summarizes the common share repurchase activity during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 under our common share repurchase program:
