EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q (Form 10-Q/A) to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended December 31, 2004, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) on February 14, 2005 (Original Filing), reflects a restatement (Restatement)
of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Hillenbrand Industries, Inc. as discussed in
Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
This Form 10-Q/A only amends and restates Items 1, 2 and 4 of Part I of the Original Filing and we
have revised language in these Items from the Original Filing to reflect the Restatement. No other
information in the Original Filing is amended hereby. The foregoing items have not been updated to
reflect other events occurring after the Original Filing or to modify or update those disclosures
affected by subsequent events. Other events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or
other disclosures necessary to reflect subsequent events have been addressed in our reports filed
with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing, including the Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, which was previously filed on December 23, 2005.
In addition, the exhibit list in Item 6 of Part II has not been updated except that currently
dated certifications from our Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, are filed with this
Form 10-Q/A as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.
With this filing, we have amended the Original Filing. As such, the fiscal 2005 and 2004 financial
information contained in our original quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended December
31, 2004, March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, as previously filed, should no longer be relied upon.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions except per share data)

|
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
Basis of Presentation |
|
|
|
The unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in this quarterly
report on Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2004 as amended and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms Hillenbrand, the Company, we, our
and us refer to Hillenbrand Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and the
terms Hill-Rom Company, Batesville Casket Company, and derivations thereof, refer to
one or more of the subsidiary companies of Hillenbrand that comprise those respective
business units. Prior to July 1, 2004, Forethought Financial Services (Forethought) was
our third operating company. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the financial
statements herein include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for
the interim periods presented. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of annual
results. |
|
|
|
We completed the divestitures of the piped-medical gas and infant care businesses of
Hill-Rom and of Forethought in the first, third and fourth quarters, respectively, of
fiscal 2004, as further described in Note 4 below. These operations are presented as
discontinued operations within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all
periods presented. Under this presentation, the revenues and variable costs associated
with the businesses have been removed from the individual line items comprising the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and are presented in a separate section
entitled, Discontinued Operations. In addition, fixed costs related to the businesses
eliminated with the divestitures have also been included as a component of discontinued
operations. The results of discontinued operations are not necessarily indicative of the
results of the businesses if they had been operated on a stand-alone basis. On the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the assets and liabilities of the discontinued
operations are also presented separately beginning in the period in which the businesses
were discontinued. On the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, proceeds from
the sale of discontinued operations are classified as an investing cash inflow and any
losses are presented as a reconciling item in the reconciliation of net income and net cash
provided by (used in) operations. Year-to-date operating, investing and financing
activities of the discontinued operations are reflected within the respective captions of
the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows up to the disposal date and consistent
with previous periods. |
|
|
|
Principles of Consolidation |
|
|
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly
owned subsidiaries. Material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. |
|
|
|
Reclassification |
|
|
|
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current years
presentation, including the reclassification of Forethought to results from discontinued
operations in the prior year first quarter. |

|
|
Revision in the Classification of Certain Securities |
|
|
|
During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we concluded that it was appropriate to classify
our auction rate municipal bonds as current investments. Previously, such investments had
been classified as cash and cash equivalents. Accordingly, we have revised the
classification to report these securities as current investments in a separate line item on
our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2004. We have also made
corresponding adjustments to our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the
period ended December 31, 2003, to reflect the gross purchases and sales of these securities
as investing activities rather than as a component of cash and cash equivalents. This
change in classification does not affect previously reported cash flows from operations or
from financing activities in our previously reported Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,
or our previously reported Consolidated Statements of Income for any period. |
|
|
|
As of September 30, 2003, $33.4 million of these current investments were classified as cash
and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. |
|
|
|
For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and for the ten months ended
September 30, 2002, net cash provided by (used in) investing activities related to these
current investments of ($19.1) million, $169.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, were
included in cash and cash equivalents in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. |
|
|
|
Current Investments |
|
|
|
At December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004, we held $82 million and $52 million,
respectively, of current investments, which consist of auction rate municipal bonds
classified as available-for-sale securities. Our investments in these securities are
recorded at cost, which approximates fair market value due to their variable interest rates,
which typically reset every 7 to 35 days, and, despite the long-term nature of their stated
contractual maturities, we have the ability to quickly liquidate these securities. As a
result, we had no cumulative gross unrealized holding gains (losses) or gross realized gains
(losses) from our current investments. All income generated from these current investments
was recorded as interest income. |
|
|
|
Investments |
|
|
|
We use the equity method of accounting for certain private equity limited partnership
investments, with earnings or losses reported within Investment income in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income. Other minority investments are accounted for on either a
cost or equity basis, dependent upon our level of influence over the investee. |
|
|
|
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
|
|
We apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for stock-based compensation. As a result, no
compensation expense is recognized for stock options granted with exercise prices equivalent
to the fair market value of stock on date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on
other forms of stock-based compensation, including stock and performance-based awards and
units. |
|
|
|
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had
applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to all stock-based employee
compensation for the periods covered in this report. The fair value of stock option grants
are estimated on the date of grant. Prior to fiscal year 2005 we used the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model, but all stock options granted in fiscal year 2005 are valued with the
Binomial option-pricing model for pro forma expense purposes only. Our Binomial model
incorporates the possibility of early exercise of options into the valuation, as well as our
historical exercise and termination experience to determine the option value. For these
reasons, we believe the |
8
|
|
Binomial model provides a fair value that is more representative of actual historical
experience than the value calculated under the Black-Scholes model. |
|
|
|
The weighted average fair value of options granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was
$10.42 under the Binomial model using the following assumptions: (i) risk-free interest
rates of 2.64-4.09 percent; (ii) expected dividend yields of 1.70-2.02 percent; (iii)
expected volatility factors of 0.2023-0.2592; (iv) exercise factor of 39 percent; and (v)
post-vesting termination rate of 30 percent. |

New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment. This Statement requires companies to measure and recognize
compensation expense for all stock options and share-based compensation transactions using a
fair-value-based method. SFAS No. 123(R) thereby eliminates the use of the intrinsic value
method of accounting in APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which was
permitted under SFAS No. 123, as long as the footnotes to the financial statements disclosed
pro forma net income as if the fair-value-based method had been used. SFAS No. 123(R) is
effective for all interim periods beginning after June 15, 2005, and thus will become
effective for us in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. We are currently evaluating the
adoption methods available and the impact of this pronouncement to our consolidated
financial statements and results of operations.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, to amend Accounting
Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing. SFAS No. 151 clarifies the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and
wasted material by requiring these items to be recognized as current-period charges.
Additionally, the Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the
costs of conversion be based on normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption
of SFAS No. 151 is required for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, and thus will
become effective for us in fiscal 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact to our
consolidated financial statements and results of operations.
9
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an
amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Assets. SFAS No. 153 requires
that exchanges of nonmonetary assets be measured based on the fair value of the assets
exchanged. Further, it expands the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar
productive assets to nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The
provisions of the Statement are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in
fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No.
153 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or
results of operations.
At the November 2004 meeting, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues
Task Force (EITF) regarding Issue No. 03-13, Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of
SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in Determining
Whether to Report Discontinued Operations. The Issue provides a model to assist in
evaluating (a) which cash flows should be considered in the determination of whether cash of
the discontinued operation have been, or will be, eliminated from ongoing operations and (b)
the types of continuing involvement that constitute significant continuing involvement. The
Issue should be applied to a component of an enterprise that is either disposed of or
classified as held for sale in fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2004. In
analyzing the model included in this Issue, we determined that, although we receive
continuing cash flows from a transition agreement with the previously disposed Forethought
business, these cash flows are not significant, they are indirect cash flows and we do not
have significant continuing involvement in the operations of their business. Therefore, the
classification of Forethought as a discontinued operation under SFAS No. 144 is appropriate.
On October 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the
Act). The Act provides a deduction for income from qualified domestic production
activities, which will be phased in from 2005 2010. In return, the Act also provides for
a two-year phase-out of the existing extra-territorial income exclusion (ETI) for foreign
sales that was viewed to be inconsistent with international trade protocols by the European
Union. We expect the net effect of the phase out of the ETI and the phase in of this new
deduction to result in a minimal impact in the effective tax rate for 2005 based on current
earnings levels. In the long-term, we expect the new deduction will result in a decrease in
the annual effective tax rate by at least one percent based on current earnings levels.
Under the guidance in FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities
Provided by The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the deduction will be treated as a
special deduction as described in FASB Statement 109. As such, the special deduction has
no effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities existing at the enactment date. Rather,
the impact of this deduction will be reported in the period in which the deduction is
claimed on our tax return.
The Act also created a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated
income earned abroad by providing an 85 percent dividends received deduction for certain
dividends from controlled foreign corporations. It is not anticipated that we will benefit
from this provision of the Act.

Acquisitions |
|
|
|
During fiscal 2004, Hill-Rom completed the acquisitions of Advanced Respiratory, Inc.
(ARI), Mediq, Incorporated (Mediq) and NaviCare Systems, Inc. (NaviCare). The results
of these businesses have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
since each acquisitions date of close. |
|
|
|
On October 17, 2003, Hill-Rom acquired ARI, a manufacturer and distributor of non-invasive
airway clearance products and systems, for approximately $103 million, plus an additional $2
million of acquisition costs incurred in relation to the transaction. This purchase price
included a first quarter 2005 payment of $8 million resulting from net revenues achieved in
fiscal 2004. An additional deferred payment of $5.7 million is outstanding and payable no
later than the end of calendar 2005 and is accrued in the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets as of December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004. An additional contingent payment,
which could also be payable by the end of calendar 2005, is dependent upon ARI achieving
certain net revenue targets over the next year. Any such contingent payment will increase
goodwill associated with the acquisition. |
|
|
|
On January 30, 2004, Hill-Rom acquired Mediq, a company in the medical equipment outsourcing
and asset management business, for approximately $329 million, plus an additional $6 million
of acquisition costs incurred in relation to the transaction. This purchase price included
$23 million deposited in an escrow account, of which $20 million remained at December 31,
2004, related to potential adjustments resulting primarily from the funded status of Mediqs
defined benefit pension plan as of the end of the first quarter of 2006, along with the
occurrence of any issues associated with seller representations, warranties and other
matters. The escrow amount has been included in the allocation of purchase price outlined
below. Final resolution of the remaining amount in escrow is expected in fiscal 2006. If
any adjustment differs in amount from the current escrow balance, the reported purchase
price would be decreased by the amount of any valid claims against the escrow amounts, and
the reported amount of goodwill associated with the Mediq acquisition would be adjusted
accordingly. |
11
|
|
On January 30, 2004, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 84 percent of the equity
of NaviCare that we did not already own for approximately $14 million, including deferred
payments of approximately $2 million, all of which has been paid as of January 2005. |
|
|
|
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed at their dates of acquisition. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005,
we reduced goodwill by approximately $2 million to reflect the true-up of deferred taxes for
opening balance sheet adjustments on ARI and NaviCare and a reduction to the previously
accrued contingent payment made to ARI in the first quarter of 2005. The purchase prices
remain subject to adjustment for the contingent payments outlined above; thus, the
allocation of the purchase prices is subject to refinement. |

Discontinued Operations |
|
|
|
On July 1, 2004, we closed the sale of Forethought Financial Services, Inc. to FFS Holdings,
Inc., an acquisition vehicle formed by the Devlin Group, LLC., which acquired all the common
stock of Forethought and its subsidiaries for a combination of cash, seller financing,
certain retained assets of Forethought and stock warrants. Total nominal consideration for
the transaction was approximately $295 million, which included the value of the partnership
assets transferred to us. This consideration excluded a dividend received by us in December
2003 from Forethought in the amount of approximately $29 million made in anticipation of the
transaction. Hillenbrand received cash proceeds in the transaction of approximately $105
million. An additional cash payment of approximately $6 million is due upon the regulatory
approval of the sale of Forethought Federal Savings Bank, which is expected to occur in the
last half of fiscal 2005. |
|
|
|
In October 2003, Hill-Rom sold its piped-medical gas business to Beacon Medical
Products LLC, for $13 million, after final purchase price adjustments. |
|
|
|
In August 2004, Hill-Rom completed the sale of its Air-Shields infant care business to a
subsidiary of Dräger Medical AG & Co. KGaA for approximately $31 million. |
|
|
|
These businesses have been treated as discontinued operations for all periods presented
within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. |

Earnings per Common Share |
|
|
|
Basic earnings per share were calculated based upon the weighted-average number of
outstanding common shares for the period, plus the effect of deferred vested shares.
Diluted earnings per share were calculated consistent with the basic earnings per share
calculation including the effect of dilutive unissued common shares related to stock-based
employee compensation programs. For all periods presented, anti-dilutive stock options
were excluded in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Excluded shares were
902,444 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 404,433 for the three months
ended December 31, 2003. Cumulative treasury stock acquired, less cumulative shares
reissued, has been excluded in determining the average number of shares outstanding. |

The composition of accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2004 and September
30, 2004 was the cumulative adjustment for unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities
of $10 million for each period, foreign currency translation adjustments of $2 and ($2)
million, respectively, and a minimum pension liability adjustment of ($2) million for each
period.

Retirement Plans |
|
|
|
Hillenbrand and its subsidiaries have several defined benefit retirement plans covering the
majority of employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. We contribute
funds to trusts as necessary to provide for current service and for any unfunded projected
future benefit obligation over a reasonable period. The benefits for these plans are based
primarily on years of service and the employees level of compensation during specific
periods of employment. We also sponsor nonqualified, unfunded defined benefit pension plans
for certain members of management. |
|
|
|
The components of net pension expense for defined benefit retirement plans in the United
States for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows: |

As of December 31, 2004 we have made contributions of approximately $1 million to our
defined benefit pension plans during fiscal 2005. We presently anticipate contributing an
additional $7 million during fiscal year 2005 to fund our pension plans, for a total
contribution of $8 million.
We sponsor both qualified and nonqualified defined contribution retirement plans for all
eligible employees, as defined in the plan documents. The qualified plans fall under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to the qualified plans are based
on both employee and Company contributions. Our contributions to the plans were $4 million
and $3 million for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
We expect to contribute an additional $10 million to the plans during the remainder of
fiscal year 2005 for a total of $14 million. The nonqualified plans are unfunded and
carried a liability of less than $1 million at December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004.

Guarantees |
|
|
|
Limited warranties are routinely granted on our products with respect to defects in material
and workmanship. The terms of these warranties are generally one year, however, certain
components and products have substantially longer warranty periods. A reserve is recognized
with respect to these obligations at the time of product sale, with subsequent warranty
claims recorded directly against the reserve. The amount of the warranty reserve is
determined based on historical trend experience for the covered products. For more
significant warranty-related matters which might require a broad-based correction, separate
reserves are established when such events are identified and the cost of correction can be
reasonably estimated. A reconciliation of changes in the warranty reserve for the periods
covered in this report is as follows: |

In the normal course of business we enter into various other guarantees and indemnities in
our relationships with suppliers, service providers, customers, business partners and
others. Examples of these arrangements would include guarantees of product performance,
indemnifications to service providers and indemnifications of our actions to business
partners. These guarantees and indemnifications would not materially impact our financial
condition or results of operations, although indemnifications associated with our actions
generally have no dollar limitations.
In conjunction with all other acquisition and divestiture activities, we have entered into
select guarantees and indemnifications of performance with respect to the fulfillment of
commitments under applicable purchase and sale agreements. The arrangements generally
indemnify the buyer or seller for damages associated with breach of contract, inaccuracies
in representations and warranties surviving the closing date and satisfaction of liabilities
and commitments retained under the applicable contract. For those representations and
warranties which survive closing, they generally survive for periods up to five years or the
expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations. Potential losses under the
indemnifications are generally limited to a portion of the original transaction price, or to
other lesser specific dollar amounts for select provisions. With respect to sale
transactions, we also routinely enter into non-competition agreements for varying periods of
time. Guarantees and indemnifications with respect to acquisition and divestiture
activities would not materially impact our financial condition or results of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies |
|
|
|
On June 30, 2003, Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System (the Plaintiff) filed an
antitrust suit against Hillenbrand and its Hill-Rom subsidiary, in the United States
District Court for the District of South Carolina, as described in the Annual Report on Form
10-K for the period ended September 30, 2004. The trial is anticipated to occur on or after
September 26, 2005. The hearing on class certification is anticipated to occur by mid to
late March or April 2005. |
|
|
|
On December 30, 2004, Plaintiff filed its Motion for Leave to File a Second Amended
Complaint, which has not yet been ruled on by the Court, seeking to extend the period for
which it seeks damages, from 1990 through the present, and add a new allegation of monopoly
maintenance of an alleged standard hospital bed market. Plaintiff is also seeking to
broaden the proposed class definition to include all purchasers of Hill-RomÒ standard
and/or specialty hospital beds and/or architectural and in-room products from 1990 to the
present where there have been contracts between Hill-Rom and such purchasers, either on
behalf of themselves or through purchasing organizations, where those contracts conditioned
discounts on Hill-RomÒ hospital beds and other architectural and in-room products on
commitments to rent or purchase a very high percentage of specialty beds from Hill-Rom. We
are vigorously opposing Plaintiffs motion on various grounds, including the significant
passage of time since the deadline for amending pleadings. |

Special Charges |
|
|
|
2004 Actions |
|
|
|
During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2004, we announced a restructuring intended to better
align Hill-Roms financial and personnel resources to fully support its growth initiatives,
decrease overall costs, and improve performance in Europe. The plan included the expected
elimination of approximately 130 salaried positions in the U.S. and approximately 100
positions in Europe and resulted in a fourth quarter charge of approximately $7 million,
associated with severance and benefit-related costs. As of December 31, 2004, approximately
140 positions have been eliminated with a small number of the original list of terminees
being transferred to other positions. As of this same date, there was approximately $5
million remaining in the reserve, after cash payments of $2 million during the quarter ended
December 31, 2004. All obligations associated with this action, which is expected to be
completed in fiscal 2005, will be settled in cash. |
|
|
|
2003 Actions |
|
|
|
During the third fiscal quarter of 2003, we announced a new business structure at Hill-Rom
to accelerate the execution of its strategy and strengthen its businesses. As a result of
this action, Hill-Rom announced it expected to eliminate approximately 300 salaried
positions globally. Hill-Rom also announced it expected to hire approximately 100 new
personnel with the skills and experience necessary to execute its business strategy. A
fiscal 2003 third quarter charge of $9 million was recognized with respect to this action,
essentially all related to severance and benefit-related costs. During fiscal 2004,
approximately $1 million of the originally recorded reserve was reversed. As of December
31, 2004 this action was complete. In excess of 280 salaried positions were eliminated
under the action, with over 60 of the original list of terminees being transferred to other
positions in line with Hill-Roms strategy. In addition, approximately 90 new positions
were hired under the new business structure. |
|
11. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
|
|
The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2005 was 37.0 percent compared to
35.7 percent for the first quarter of 2004. The higher rate in 2005 is due primarily to an
increase in the valuation allowance for continued losses in France. Although these loss
carryforwards have no expiration date, current operating results and economic conditions
have made it difficult to predict full recoverability of these tax assets. Therefore a full
valuation allowance has been established. We will continue to pursue opportunities to
reduce our effective tax rate in future periods. |
|

|
Segment Reporting |
|
|
|
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,
requires reporting of segment information that is consistent with the way in which
management operates and views the business. |
|
|
|
With the continued evolution of the prior year realignment of the Hill-Rom business
structure, changes were adopted in fiscal 2004 and 2005 in terms of the way in which
management views the business, including reporting to our executive management team. With
these changes, in fiscal 2004 the prior Hill-Rom reporting segment was split into
Americas/Asia Pacific and EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) reporting segments, with
performance measured on a divisional income basis before special items. Divisional income
under this approach was defined as the divisions gross profit less their direct operating
costs. This measure excluded a number of functional costs which were managed on an overall
Hill-Rom basis, including finance, information technology, human resources, legal and
regulatory and strategy. In fiscal 2005, a change was made to the definition of divisional
income. Beginning in the first quarter of 2005, divisional income now includes functional
costs previously excluded from the measure. Functional costs directly related to a specific
division are now borne directly by such division based on the Hill-Rom annual |
17
|
|
plan. For functional costs not directly tied to a specific division, the costs have been
allocated to the respective divisions on the basis of various allocation methodologies, also
based on the Hill-Rom annual plan. Management now evaluates divisional performance on this
new basis. Segment data for 2004 has been restated to conform with this new presentation. |
|
|
|
Intersegment sales between the Americas/Asia Pacific and EMEA are generally accounted for at
current market value or cost plus markup. Eliminations, net of allocations, while not
considered a segment, will be presented separately to aid in the reconciliation of segment
information to consolidated Hill-Rom financial information. |
|
|
|
The reporting segment of Batesville Casket is measured on the basis of income from
continuing operations before income taxes. Intersegment sales do not occur between Hill-Rom
and Batesville Casket. Forethought results, which were previously considered a reporting
segment, are now being presented in the results from discontinued operations as further
discussed in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Corporate, while
not a segment, is presented separately to aid in the reconciliation of segment information
to that reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. |

|
Restatement and Revised Classification of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
|
|
|
Restatement |
|
|
|
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, we entered into definitive agreements to sell
Hill-Roms piped-medical gas and infant care businesses and in the second quarter of fiscal
2004, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell Forethought Financial Services, Inc.
and its subsidiaries (Forethought). The divestitures of these businesses were all
finalized in fiscal 2004 and all were accounted for as discontinued operations in our
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented herein. While
finalizing the fiscal 2004 U.S. federal and state income tax returns, and during preparation
of the subsequent tax provision to income tax return reconciliations, management identified
errors which understated the income tax benefits associated with these discontinued
operations. Further, while assessing the implications of these errors, management |
18
|
|
determined that it had also made errors with respect to the allocation of goodwill to
Hill-Roms piped-medical gas and infant care businesses for purposes of determining both the
impairment loss recognized in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2003 and the effect of the
dispositions recognized upon the closure of the transactions in fiscal 2004. As a result of
the identification of these errors, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concluded,
after consultation with management and a review of the pertinent facts, that it was
necessary to restate (the Restatement) the previously issued financial statements for the
fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 and for all interim periods in 2004 and the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the interim periods of 2005. |
|
|
|
As part of this Restatement, income from discontinued operations and net income in fiscal
2003 increased $51 million, or $0.82 per fully diluted share, and income from discontinued
operations and net income in fiscal 2004 increased $33 million, or $0.53 per fully diluted
share. The effects of this Restatement on the income statement impacted only discontinued
operations and had no impact on income from continuing operations or cash flows.
Hillenbrands balance sheets as of September 30, 2003 and all succeeding periods were also
adjusted to reflect $69 million of additional goodwill as a result of the Restatement. |
|
|
|
Specifics related to the errors identified for fiscal 2003 and 2004 are further outlined
below: |
|
|
|
Impairment Loss and Gain Recognition on Disposal of Piped-Medical Gas and Infant Care
Businesses |
|
|
|
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, requires that all goodwill acquired in a business combination be assigned
to one or more reporting units. Upon adopting SFAS 142 in fiscal 2002, the net assets of
Hill-Roms piped-medical gas and infant care businesses were included in the Hill-Rom
reporting unit. When a portion of a reporting unit that constitutes a business is sold,
SFAS 142 requires that the amount of goodwill associated with that business be determined
based on the relative fair values of the business to be sold versus the portion of the
reporting unit to be retained. SFAS 142 further provides, however, that if a business to be
disposed of was never integrated into the reporting unit after its acquisition, the current
carrying amount of acquired goodwill should be included in the carrying amount of the
business to be disposed of. |
|
|
|
When we reached definitive agreements in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 to sell
Hill-Roms piped-medical gas and infant care businesses, we incorrectly conducted a SFAS 142
impairment assessment for these businesses as if they were non-integrated, separate,
stand-alone entities for which it was concluded that the benefits of the acquired goodwill
associated with these businesses had not been realized, and would not be realized in the
future. This impairment assessment included all the original non-amortized goodwill
associated with the acquisition of the businesses, other than a portion pertaining to a
retained business, which led to the recognition of an impairment loss of $50 million ($51
million, net-of-tax) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. No impairment loss should have
been recorded based on the fair value of the entire reporting unit that included the
disposed businesses. |
|
|
|
Had we appropriately applied the provisions of SFAS 142 and allocated goodwill to the
disposed businesses based on their relative fair values compared to the fair value of the
reporting unit, the carrying amounts of the disposed businesses would have been lower and no
impairment loss would have been recorded. Further, we would have recognized a gain on the
divestiture of the piped-medical gas business in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 of $5
million (net-of-tax). |
|
|
|
Accounting for Income Taxes |
|
|
|
With respect to the accounting for income taxes related to discontinued operations,
including the dispositions of Hill-Roms piped-medical gas and infant care businesses and |
19
|
|
the pre-need insurance business of Forethought, we made certain errors with respect to the
recognition of income tax benefits associated with these discontinued operations in each of
the first three quarters of fiscal 2004. These errors related to the following: |
|
|
|
Improper recognition of book and tax differences associated with discounts applied
to the seller financing provided by the Company in the disposition of Forethought. The
errors also impacted the ordinary and capital loss components of the taxable gain/loss
calculation as well as the amount of the valuation allowance required for capital loss
carryforwards. The combined effect of these items in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 was an
understatement of net deferred tax assets and the tax benefit associated with the
disposition of the business by approximately $8 million. |
|
|
|
|
Failure to identify necessary corrections to the recorded deferred tax balances of
Forethought. Such adjustments should have been fully recorded with the disposition of
Forethought, therefore resulting in an understatement in the second quarter of fiscal
2004 of net deferred tax assets and the recorded income tax benefit by approximately $1
million. |
|
|
|
|
Failure to fully consider the effects of certain K-1 partnership returns on
investments held by Forethought in the determination of the income tax benefit
associated with discontinued operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. This
omission overstated income taxes payable by $2 million and understated the recorded
income tax benefit related to discontinued operations by approximately $2 million. |
|
|

Improper calculation of the respective tax gain/loss associated with our
dispositions of the piped-medical gas, infant care and Forethought businesses primarily

The impact of all the above noted errors resulted in an overstatement of the recorded loss
from discontinued operations of $51 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 and an
overstatement of the recorded loss from discontinued operations in the first, second and
third quarters of fiscal 2004 of $5 million, $13 million and $15 million, respectively.
Further, in terms of a breakdown between divestiture transactions, $13 million of the errors
related to the disposal of Forethought, while $5 million and $15 million related to the
disposal of the Hill-Rom piped-medical gas and infant care businesses, respectively.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been adjusted to give
effect to these errors, thus resulting in a restatement of our previously issued quarterly
financial statements.

Other Items
We have also made certain other limited changes to the previously issued financial
statements to correct typographical errors made in the prior year.
The impacts of the Restatement and Other Items on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
as of December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004, and our Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Income and Cash Flows for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2003, are shown in the
accompanying tables below. We have also updated the disclosures in Notes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9
and 12 within these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to give effect to the
Restatement and Other Items, as required. As the errors outlined above also impacted the
second and third quarters of fiscal 2004, we will be filing amended Forms 10-Q/A for these
quarters as well.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim
financial statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K (2004 Form 10-K), as amended on Form
10-K/A, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. This Form 10-Q/A reflects a restatement (the
Restatement) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2004, initially filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 14, 2005 (the Original Filing), as further discussed
in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In the preparation of this Form 10-Q/A, we have revised language within Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations from the Original Filing only to reflect
the Restatement. No other information has been amended or updated to reflect other events
occurring after the Original Filing or to modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent
events. Information contained herein continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and
the Company has not updated the disclosures contained herein to reflect events that occurred at a
later date.
Overview
Hillenbrand Industries is organized into two operating companies serving the health care and
funeral services industries.
Hill-Rom is a leader in the worldwide health care community. Hill-Rom provides a variety of
products for the patient care environment, non-invasive therapeutic products for pulmonary, wound
and circulatory conditions, and biomedical equipment rentals and other services to enhance the
operational efficiency and asset utilization of health care facilities.
Batesville Casket Company is a leader in the North American death care industry through the sale of
funeral services products, including burial caskets, cremation caskets, containers and urns,
selection room display fixturing and other personalization and memorialization products.
In the 2004 Form 10-K, we outlined our overall strategic plan and commitment to create value for
shareholders, customers, suppliers and employees. Primary components of that plan related to
increased customer focus, new product introductions, growth through selective acquisitions and cost
and waste reductions. While there have been no material changes to this plan and commitment,
progress has been made during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 with respect to various of our
strategic initiatives. Hill-Rom has made substantial progress towards its objectives of increasing
the number of sales representatives by approximately 50 and has recently modified its call center
routing protocols to improve customer responsiveness. Batesville has increased its customer focus
by selectively increasing service and delivery levels to customers, increasing executive
managements interaction with customers and growing its customer visitation program. Additionally,
in January 2005, Batesville Casket successfully launched the first of two new Batesville Honoring
Lives Tour Centers. This mobile showroom will tour the country in an effort to bring the
Batesville experience to the customer, create excitement around our new products, increase customer
interaction and intimacy and grow the independent funeral home portion of our business. The second
mobile showroom is planned for deployment in March 2005.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, Hill-Rom experienced strong sales of its VersaCare bed
platform, as well as in the architectural products, communications and service parts product lines.
In the first quarter of 2005, VersaCareÔ/AdvantaÔ orders increased 5 percent over the
first quarter of fiscal 2004. In addition, sales of communications products more than doubled over
the prior fiscal year first quarter.
The VersaCareÔ bed platform design architecture has also been opened with license agreements
established with several mattress manufacturers, including BG North America, a division of
Encompass Group LLC, and Span-America Medical Systems, Inc., allowing surfaces manufactured by
these companies to be used on the VersaCareÔ platform. The opening of the architecture will
allow customers a greater choice of surface options to best meet patient therapeutic needs. In
25
addition, in January 2005 we introduced a new non-powered air surface for the VersaCareÔ bed
platform.
Within the Hill-Rom rental segment, lower rental volumes reflected in part the slower pneumonia and
influenza season as compared to 2004. Additionally, we have seen a reduction in referral volumes
on The VestÔ (formerly ARI), which will slow growth rates in future periods versus the rapid
growth seen in 2004 following The VestÔs initial receipt of a Medicare reimbursement code
for cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis.
In the funeral services products industry, the demand for burial caskets in North America appears
to be gradually but steadily declining as the result of lower age-adjusted mortality rates, lower
overall deaths and a continued gradual increase in the rate of cremations. The lower number of
deaths appears to be a function of historic birth trends. There was a relatively low number of
births that occurred during the late 1920s and early 1930s, which correspond generally to a
relatively low number of deaths at this point in time as individuals born in the late 1920s and
early 1930s reach their mortality age. Accordingly, we would anticipate that the overall number
of deaths will be relatively flat or at lower levels for at least the next several years, after
which we anticipate a fairly dramatic increase in the number of deaths, as the baby-boomers near
the end of their average life expectancy. The popularity of cremations continues to grow at a rate
of approximately one percentage point each year, now estimated to be slightly more than one-third
of total deaths in North America. During the first quarter of 2005, the otherwise gradual and
steady decline of demand for burial caskets in North America was further exacerbated by a slower
pneumonia and influenza season when compared to the same period in 2004, when an early flu season
positively impacted the death care business. Preliminary data from the Center for Disease Control
(CDC) indicates that total deaths in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 are estimated to be 60,000
fewer than the prior year comparable period.
Current trending patterns and analysis seem to indicate that we may be experiencing a pneumonia and
influenza season resembling fiscal 2003. If so, deaths may not increase until the latter part of
the second fiscal quarter, if at all, and any increase will probably not be at the levels seen in
prior years.
Despite the low number of deaths, the revenues of Batesville have been positively impacted by the
Dimensions by Batesville® product line of oversized caskets that was successfully introduced and
launched at the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) convention in October, along with
increased sales from the veneer product line as customer acceptance continues to grow. Batesville
anticipates these trends will continue during the remainder of the 2005 fiscal year and will
introduce additional new products aimed at growing its business in both the burial and cremation
markets.
We are also committed to growth through selective health care acquisitions. During fiscal 2004, we
completed the acquisitions of ARI, Mediq and NaviCare. During 2005 we plan to complete the
integration of the acquisitions made in 2004. The integrations of ARI and NaviCare are essentially
complete. The integration of Mediq is ahead of plan, with the completed consolidation of 70
service centers, or 85 percent. The integration of Mediqs information technology platform is
included in the final phase of the Enterprise Resource Planning implementation at Hill-Rom, which
is expected to occur in calendar 2005.
We continue to experience significant increased cost pressure with respect to steel, red metals,
solid wood, plastic and fuel that negatively impacted our financial results during the 2004 fiscal
year, the 2005 fiscal first quarter and are anticipated to continue during the remainder of fiscal
2005. We have responded by increasing prices where appropriate, implementing cost control actions
and initiating work force and other realignment activities, to better align our overall cost
structure.
In this regard, we announced a restructuring in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2004, resulting in a
charge of $7 million intended to better align Hill-Roms financial and personnel resources to fully
support its growth initiatives, decrease overall costs, and improve performance in Europe. These
actions should reduce operating costs by approximately $16 million annually once the action is
26
fully completed toward the end of our 2005 fiscal year. (See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information.)
In January 2005, we completed the successful negotiation of the collective bargaining agreement
with the United Steelworkers of America (USWA) at Hill-Rom which covered approximately 800
employees at its facilities located in Batesville, Indiana. We have three additional collective
bargaining agreements in the United States that will expire during the next twelve months. The
effects on our business of any work stoppage associated with a failure to reach a new agreement
with the union depend on a variety of factors, including the length of, and number of employees
participating in, the work stoppage. Although we have contingency plans designed to minimize the
impact of any potential work stoppage and we do not believe that any such work stoppage would have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, we cannot
provide any assurance that a work stoppage would not have such an effect.
Consolidated Results of Operations
In this section, we provide a high-level overview of our consolidated results of operations.

Consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2005 increased $53 million, or 12.6 percent,
compared to the first quarter of 2004. Health Care sales revenues increased $31 million driven by
increased volumes from the 2004 new product introductions, which were only partially offset by
unfavorable pricing of $5 million for the quarter. The increase in consolidated revenue also
related to the January 2004 acquisition of Mediq, which increased Health Care rental revenues
approximately $29 million in the first quarter. Funeral Services sales decreased $5 million from
the prior year, as an estimated 9 percent drop in deaths resulting from an early fiscal 2004 flu
season that was not repeated in fiscal 2005 reduced burial casket volume for the first quarter.

Consolidated gross profit for the first quarter of 2005 increased $1 million, or 0.5 percent, from
the prior year quarter. Health Care sales gross profit increased $9 million due to the higher
reported revenues, but margins as a percent of revenues declined due in large part to lower
pricing, primarily on older product lines, including AdvantaÔ, higher material costs and
unfavorable mix in terms of products sold during the quarter. The decrease in Health Care rental
gross profit, despite the acquisition of Mediq that increased gross profit by approximately $7
27
million, was due to a volume decline in the core Americas/Asia Pacific business of nearly $9
million. This rental decline is attributed to the lack of a current quarter repeat of the prior
years early flu season, lower pricing and continuing integration costs. Health Care rental gross
profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to 40.0 percent in the first quarter due to the lower
margin rates of the acquired Mediq® product lines, lower pricing and the impacts of integration
activities. Funeral Services gross profit decreased $6 million driven by lower volumes, higher
material costs associated with rising prices of steel, other metals, plastic and solid wood, a
continued gradual shift in product mix from metal to solid and veneer wood products that generally
have slightly lower margins, increased fixed manufacturing costs associated with plant expansion
and general salary and benefit inflation.

Other operating expenses increased $8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 from the
comparable prior year period. The overall higher expense levels were partially due to the January
2004 acquisitions of Mediq and NaviCare, which added operating expenses of approximately $6 million
for the three-month period, increased legal and professional fees of $2 million and salary and
benefit inflation. These increases were partially offset by $4 million of lower incentive
compensation expense for the three-month period of 2005 versus the prior years first quarter.
Additional operating expense savings were realized from the restructuring at Hill-Rom in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2004, although we have not yet achieved the full amount of such savings on a
quarterly basis as all positions have yet to be eliminated.
Interest expense increased $1 million compared to the first quarter of 2004 due to additional
borrowing facilities, partially offset by the lower average interest rates following the repurchase
of higher coupon debt. Investment income for the quarter increased $6 million in 2005 compared to
the comparable period in 2004 due to interest accrued and discount accretion on the seller
financing and equity instruments related to the divestiture of Forethought and the performance of
the retained limited partnership investments.
The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2005 was 37.0 percent compared to 35.7
percent for the first quarter of 2004. The higher rate in 2005 is due primarily to an increase in
the valuation allowance for continued losses in France. Although these loss carryforwards have no
expiration date, current operating results and economic conditions have made it difficult to
predict full recoverability of these tax assets. Therefore a full valuation allowance has been
established.
Income from continuing operations decreased $1 million to $44 million in the first quarter of 2005,
compared to $45 million in the prior year quarter. This equates to diluted earnings per share of
$0.69 for the three-month period of 2005, compared to $0.72 per share for the comparable period of
2004.
Income from discontinued operations decreased $17 million in the three-month period. The
three-months ended December 31, 2003 included $7 million related to the divested Hill-Rom
piped-medical gas and infant care businesses, including a gain of $5 million (after tax) on the
divestiture of the piped-medical gas business completed in the prior year quarter, and $10 million
of income from operations at Forethought. By 2005, the three businesses had been fully divested.
As of
28
December 31, 2004, the remaining assets and liabilities in discontinued operations included
Forethought Federal Savings Bank, whose income was less than $1 million.

Health Care Sales
Health Care sales increased $31 million, or 18.8 percent, in the first quarter of 2005 compared to
the first quarter of 2004. The Americas/Asia Pacific segment experienced an increase of $33
million due to higher volumes and new product introductions. Capital revenues from Mediq and
NaviCare of $4 million were also recognized in the quarter. Partially offsetting this increase was
a $2 million decline in revenues from EMEA due to lower volumes, despite a favorable foreign
exchange impact of $3 million. Also offsetting the increase in revenues was lower pricing of $5
million, primarily on older product lines, including AdvantaÔ.
The improved volumes in our Americas/Asia Pacific business were due to sales of the
VersaCareÔ bed platform, which was introduced in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 to replace
our largest selling AdvantaÔ platform with a more feature-rich product. Additionally,
improved Health Care sales were also achieved in architectural products, communications and service
parts and contracts. This was partially offset by lower AdvantaÔ volumes related to its
discontinuance and internal mix shift driven primarily by lower TotalCareÒ volumes, partially
attributable to cannibalization by VersaCareÔ.
Gross profit for Health Care sales increased $9 million, or 11.4 percent, in the quarter ended
December 31, 2004, compared to the corresponding prior year quarter, which is attributable to
higher revenues on increased volume. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 44.9 percent in
the first quarter of 2005, compared to 47.9 percent in the first quarter of 2004. Current year
margin rates were negatively impacted by lower price realization, primarily on older product lines,
of approximately $5 million for the latest three-month period, $2.5 million of new product
transition costs, higher material costs resulting from steel surcharges and unfavorable product
mix.
Health Care Rentals
Health Care rental revenue increased $27 million for the three-month period ended December 31,
2004. The overall increase in rental revenue was attributable to the Mediq acquisition made in
January of 2004. Mediq contributed $29 million of rental revenues to the first quarter of 2005 and
was not included in the prior year consolidated results. The rental business, excluding the impact
of acquisitions, was down approximately $3 million compared to the prior year period due
29
to lower pricing, unfavorable mix and lower volumes. The unfavorable mix resulted from a shift in
market preference toward lower priced units. The decline in volumes in North America was due in
part to the lack of an early flu season experienced in the prior year. Additionally, we have also
experienced product fulfillment issues, primarily in our Movable Medical Equipment (MME). Recent
changes in call routing protocols and staffing changes are expected to correct these issues. For
the three-month period, European revenues were essentially flat driven up by the favorable effect
of exchange rates of approximately $1 million. Additionally, we have seen a reduction in referral
volumes on The VestÔ (formerly ARI), which will slow growth rates in future periods versus
the rapid growth seen in 2004 following The VestÔs initial receipt of a Medicare
reimbursement code for cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis.
Health Care rental gross profit decreased $2 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the
prior year period. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 40.0 percent compared to 53.8
percent in the first quarter of 2004. The decrease in gross profit dollars was due to a decline in
the core Americas/Asia Pacific business of nearly $9 million, which was largely offset by the
additional $7 million of gross profit provided by the acquisition of Mediq. Gross profit dollars
decreased in the first quarter of 2005, resulting from lower volumes, lower pricing on certain
items and the fixed nature of field sales and service costs. As a percentage of revenues, gross
margin rates decreased for the same reasons above, the lower margin rates of the acquired
MediqÒ product lines and the product fulfillment issues previously outlined. European
margins declined approximately 7 percent as a percentage of revenue due to higher rental
depreciation and field service and sales costs on lower volumes.

Funeral Services products revenue in the first quarter of 2005 decreased $5 million, or 3.0 percent
from that reported in the prior year comparable period. The lower revenue was attributable to $15
million in lower burial casket volume experienced in virtually all product lines, geographies and
customer segments, along with a slightly unfavorable mix within product lines of approximately $1
million. We believe the decline in burial volume is primarily attributable to a soft market due to
lower death rates as indicated by preliminary CDC death estimates, the continued gradual estimated
increase in cremations and the absence of an early flu season in 2005 compared to 2004 when the flu
season spiked in December and January. These decreases were partially offset by favorable price
realization (that is, net revenues after discounts) of approximately $10 million, along with
increased revenues of approximately $1 million resulting from favorable volume in Options
cremations products and other miscellaneous product accessories.
Funeral Services products gross profit decreased $6 million, or 6.7 percent, in the first quarter
of 2005 compared to the same period of the prior year. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was
52.8 percent in 2005 compared to 54.9 percent in 2004. The primary driver of the reduced
three-month gross profit was the lower burial unit volume. Additionally, gross profit, both
dollars and as a percent of sales, has been unfavorably impacted by higher raw material costs for
steel, other metals, plastic and solid woods, an overall slightly unfavorable product mix shift,
increased fixed manufacturing costs associated with expanding manufacturing capabilities at one of
our plants and general salary and benefit inflation. The unfavorable product mix was primarily
related to the continued gradual shift in product preference from higher margin metal to slightly
lower margin solid and veneer wood products. Offsetting these unfavorable items were the higher
volumes from cremation and miscellaneous products along with improved net price realization.
30
Gross profit percentages are exclusive of distribution costs of $21 million, or approximately 13.2
percent of revenues, in the first quarter of 2005, which were down from $22 million, or 13.4
percent of revenues, in the prior year period, primarily as a result of lower volumes and various
cost reductions, somewhat offset by higher fuel costs. Such costs are included in other operating
expenses for all periods.

Net cash flows from operating activities and selected borrowings have represented our primary
sources of funds for growth of the business, including capital expenditures and acquisitions. We
have not used any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than routine operating leases. Our
financing agreements contain no restrictive provisions or conditions relating to dividend payments,
working capital or additional unsecured indebtedness (except to the extent that a dividend payment
or incurrence of additional unsecured indebtedness would result in a default under our financing
agreements), but there are limitations with respect to secured indebtedness. Our debt agreements
also contain no credit rating triggers. Credit rating changes can, however, impact the cost of
borrowings under our financing agreements.
Operating Activities
For the three-month period ended December 31, 2004, net cash provided by operating activities
totaled $78 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $22 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2003. The increase in operating cash flow was heavily influenced by the
timing of the second payment in December 2003 of $75 million ($47 million net-of-tax) made to
Kinetic Concepts, Inc. (KCI) under the antitrust litigation settlement reached in 2002.
Depreciation and amortization increased to $29 million in the first quarter of 2005 from $20
million in the 2004 comparable period. The increase in the current year depreciation and
amortization resulted primarily from the acquisitions of ARI, Mediq and NaviCare during 2004.
Changes in working capital decreased cash from operations for both periods, although to a lesser
extent in 2005. In the first quarter of 2005, trade accounts payable declined from the prior
year-end as a result of normal repayments of traditionally higher fiscal year-end payables. Other
reductions in operating cash flow resulted from the increase in consolidated deferred income taxes
and the increase in accounts receivables resulting from higher sales in December. Partially
offsetting these declines in cash from operations was the improved management, and corresponding
reduction, of inventory levels from year-end. In 2004, the decrease in working capital was even
more significant. The KCI antitrust litigation payment referred to above was the primary driver of
the decline, as well as the payout of incentive compensation. Accounts payable declined due to the
same reason mentioned above and lower receipts of production inventory at the end of December.
Accounts receivable performance deteriorated in the prior year quarter as overall days revenues
outstanding increased nearly 5 days.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2004 totaled $66
million compared to $49 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003. Capital
31
expenditures increased $10 million between the comparable quarters related primarily to the
replacement of therapy units in the rental fleet. Capital expenditures increased to $28 million
from $16 million within Hill-Rom for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Batesville
Caskets capital expenditures were flat at $2 million over the same periods, while first quarter
2004 capital expenditures also included $1 million at Forethought and $1 million at Corporate.
Fiscal year 2005 capital expenditures are expected to approximate $140 million.
The first fiscal quarter 2005 investment activity included $55 million of purchases and capital
calls and $27 million provided from sales and maturities. We invest a portion of our excess cash
from operations into highly liquid auction rate municipal bonds. These liquid, current investments
accounted for $54 million classified as purchases and $24 million of the sales for the first
quarter 2005, as they were utilized as a treasury management strategy to earn better rates of
return on available cash. In the first quarter of 2004, current investment purchases were $26
million with sales of $59 million. Auction rate bonds are long-term, variable-rate debt
instruments whose interest rates are reset at predetermined
short-term intervals (i.e. 7 35 day
re-pricing), and, despite the long-term nature of their stated contractual maturities, we have the
ability to quickly liquidate these securities.
On October 17, 2003, we announced that we had completed our acquisition of ARI, a manufacturer and
distributor of non-invasive airway clearance products and systems. The purchase price was $103
million, plus an additional $2 million of acquisition costs incurred in relation to the
transaction. Based on net revenues achieved in fiscal 2004, an additional purchase price of $8
million was paid in the first quarter of 2005. Additional payments, including contingent payments,
if any, will be payable no later than the end of calendar 2005.
The divestiture of the piped-medical gas business was completed in October 2003 with the receipt of
gross proceeds of approximately $13 million.
We received total cash of approximately $5 million in the acquisition of ARI during the first
quarter of 2004, which was reflected as a decrease in the acquisition price on the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $15 million for the three months ended December 31,
2004 compared to $9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003. The increase in cash
used in financing activities in 2005 compared to 2004 related primarily to Forethought activities
no longer providing cash in the 2005 cash flow.
Cash dividends paid were $18 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $17 million in the
same quarter of 2004. Quarterly cash dividends per share were $0.28 in 2005 and $0.27 in 2004.
Our long-term debt-to-capital ratio was 22.7 percent at December 31, 2004 compared to 11.9 percent
at December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to a $250 million debt issuance, partially
offset by the $47 million repurchase of our debt, both occurring during the third quarter of fiscal
2004.
Other Liquidity Matters
As of December 31, 2004, cash and cash equivalents had decreased $2 million to $126 million from
$128 million at September 30, 2004.
On July 28, 2004, we replaced our previously existing senior credit facilities with a $400 million
five-year senior revolving credit facility.
As of December 31, 2004, we: (i) had $17 million of outstanding, undrawn letters of credit under
the five-year facility, (ii) were in compliance with all conditions set forth under the facilities,
and (iii) had complete access to the remaining $383 million of borrowing capacity available under
that facility.
32
We have additional uncommitted credit lines totaling $15 million that have no commitment fees,
compensating balance requirements or fixed expiration dates. As of December 31, 2004, we had $15
million of outstanding, undrawn letters of credit under these facilities.
On July 14, 2003, we filed a universal shelf registration statement with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form S-3 for the potential future sale of up to $1 billion in debt and/or
equity securities. On June 7, 2004, we issued $250 million of senior notes from this universal
shelf registration statement, leaving $750 million of available capacity under the universal
registration statement.
We currently have Board of Directors approval to repurchase up to 24,289,067 shares of our common
stock in the open market and through private transactions. During the first quarter of 2005, we
did not repurchase any shares in the open market. As of December 31, 2004, we had 2,840,000 of
authorized shares remaining for repurchase. In January 2005, we repurchased shares and may
consider additional repurchases if justified by the stock price or other considerations.
Repurchased shares are to be used for general business purposes.
We believe that cash on hand and generated from operations and amounts available under our
five-year credit facility, along with amounts available from the capital markets, will be
sufficient to fund operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements and
financing obligations. However, in connection with the Spartanburg antitrust litigation, if a
class is certified and the plaintiffs prevail at trial, potential damages awarded the plaintiffs
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies require management to make significant estimates and assumptions using
information available at the time the estimates are made. Such estimates and assumptions
significantly affect various reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. If
future experience differs materially from these estimates and assumptions, results of operations
and financial condition could be affected. A detailed description of our accounting policies is
included in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Critical Accounting Policies
Section of Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, as
amended.
There have been no material changes in accounting policies from those outlined in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, as amended.
Accounting Standards
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. This Statement requires companies to
measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock options and share-based compensation
transactions using a fair-value-based method. SFAS No. 123(R) thereby eliminates the use of the
intrinsic value method of accounting in Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, which was permitted under SFAS No. 123, as long as the footnotes to the
financial statements disclosed pro forma net income as if the fair-value-based method had been
used. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for all interim periods beginning after June 15, 2005, and thus
will become effective for us in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. We are currently evaluating the
adoption methods available and the impact of this pronouncement to our consolidated financial
statements and results of operations.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, to amend Accounting Research
Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing. SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for
abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material by
requiring these items be recognized as current-period charges. Additionally, the Statement
requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on
normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is required for fiscal
33
years beginning after June 15, 2005, and thus will become effective for us in fiscal 2006. We are
currently evaluating the impact to our consolidated financial statements and results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of
APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Assets. SFAS No. 153 requires that exchanges of
nonmonetary assets be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, it
expands the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets to nonmonetary assets
that do not have commercial substance. The provisions of the Statement are effective for
nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The
adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements or results of operations.
At the November 2004 meeting, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) regarding Issue No. 03-13, Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in Determining Whether to Report
Discontinued Operations. The Issue provides a model to assist in evaluating (a) which cash flows
should be considered in the determination of whether cash of the discontinued operation have been,
or will be, eliminated from ongoing operations and (b) the types of continuing involvement that
constitute significant continuing involvement. The Issue should be applied to a component of an
enterprise that is either disposed of or classified as held for sale in fiscal periods beginning
after December 15, 2004. In analyzing the model included in this Issue, we determined that,
although we receive continuing cash flows from a transition agreement with the previously disposed
Forethought business, these cash flows are not significant, they are indirect cash flows and we do
not have significant continuing involvement in the operations of their business. Therefore, the
classification of Forethought as a discontinued operation under SFAS No. 144 is appropriate.
On October 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act). The
Act provides a deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities, which will be
phased in from 2005 2010. In return, the Act also provides for a two-year phase-out of the
existing extra-territorial income exclusion (ETI) for foreign sales that was viewed to be
inconsistent with international trade protocols by the European Union. We expect the net effect of
the phase out of the ETI and the phase in of this new deduction to result in a minimal impact in
the effective tax rate for 2005 based on current earnings levels. In the long-term, we expect the
new deduction will result in a decrease in the annual effective tax rate by at least one percent
based on current earnings levels.
Under the guidance in FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by
The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the deduction will be treated as a special deduction as
described in FASB Statement 109. As such, the special deduction has no effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities existing at the enactment date. Rather, the impact of this deduction will
be reported in the period in which the deduction is claimed on our tax return.
The Act also created a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income
earned abroad by providing an 85 percent dividends received deduction for certain dividends from
controlled foreign corporations. It is not anticipated that we will benefit from this provision of
the Act.
Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A contain forward-looking statements
within the meanings of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding our future
plans, objectives, beliefs, expectations, representations and projections. We have tried, whenever
possible, to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as intend,
anticipate, believe, plan, encourage, expect, may, goal, become, pursue,
estimate, strategy, will, projection, forecast, continue, accelerate, promise,
increase, or the negative of those terms or other variations of them or by comparable
terminology. The absence of such terms, however, does not mean that the statement is not
forward-looking.
34
We caution readers that any such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that we
believe are reasonable, but are subject to a wide range of risks. It is important to note that
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results could
differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statements. There are a number of
factors many of which are beyond our control that could cause actual conditions, events or
results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. For
example:
|
|
Failure to comply with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations and similar foreign regulations applicable to
our medical device products could expose us to enforcement actions or other adverse consequences. |
|
|
|
Continued declines and fluctuations in mortality rates and increased cremations may adversely affect, as they have in
recent years, the volume of Batesville Caskets sales of burial caskets. |
|
|
|
Future financial performance will depend in part on the successful introduction of new products into the marketplace on
a cost-effective basis. The financial success of new products could be adversely impacted by competitors products,
customer acceptance, difficulties in product development and manufacturing, certain regulatory approvals and other
factors. The introduction of new products may cause customers to defer purchases of existing products, which could
have an adverse effect on sales. |
|
|
|
Our health care and funeral services businesses are significantly dependent on several major contracts with large
national providers and group purchasing organizations. |
|
|
|
Increased prices for or unavailability of raw materials or finished goods used in our products could adversely affect
profitability or revenues. |
|
|
|
We may not be successful in achieving expected operating efficiencies and operating cost reductions associated with
announced restructuring, realignment and cost reduction activities. |
|
|
|
Implementation of our Enterprise Resource Planning system could cause us to make unplanned expenditures or could cause
disruptions in our business. A significant implementation is scheduled for calendar 2005 at Hill-Rom. |
|
|
|
Product liability or other liability claims could expose us to adverse judgments or could affect the sales of our
products. |
|
|
|
We are involved on an ongoing basis in claims and lawsuits relating to our operations, including environmental,
antitrust, patent infringement, business practices, commercial transactions, and other matters. |
|
|
|
Our funeral services business is facing increasing competition from a number of non-traditional sources, including
internet casket retailers, large retail discount stores, and caskets manufactured abroad and imported into North
America. |
|
|
|
We may not be able to execute our growth strategy if we are unable to successfully acquire and integrate other
companies in the health care industry. |
|
|
|
Our success depends on our ability to retain our executive officers and other key personnel. |
|
|
|
A substantial portion of our workforce is unionized, and we could face labor disruptions that would interfere with our
operations. |
|
|
|
Volatility of our investment portfolio could negatively impact earnings. |
35
For a more in depth discussion of these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ
from those contained in forward-looking statements, see the discussions under the heading Risk
Factors in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
Readers should also refer to the various disclosures made by us in our periodic reports on Form 8-K
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and the
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the Certifying Officers), has 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) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as amended (the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In connection with the restatement
described in Note 13 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management determined that
there were material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the areas of
accounting for goodwill and income taxes (as further described below) as of December 31, 2004 and
has revised this assessment from that originally included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
filed on February 14, 2005. Subsequent to that filing, we have restated our annual financial
statements in a filing on Form 10-K/A. Based upon the revised evaluation, the Certifying Officers
have now concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of
the period covered by this report for the information required to be disclosed in the reports we
file or submit under the Exchange Act to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results
in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected. As of December 31, 2004, we did not maintain
effective controls over (i) the accuracy of our accounting for goodwill or (ii) the accuracy of our
accounting for income taxes, including the determination of income taxes payable, deferred income
tax assets and liabilities and the related income tax provision. Specifically, we did not have
effective controls to properly allocate goodwill to the carrying value of businesses to be disposed
of or effective review controls over the differences between the income tax basis and the financial
reporting basis associated with the tax losses incurred on the disposition of discontinued
operations. Each of these control deficiencies resulted in the restatement of our 2004 and 2003
annual consolidated financial statements. Additionally, each of these control deficiencies could
result in a misstatement of the aforementioned accounts and disclosures that would result in a
material misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or
detected. Accordingly, management determined that each of these control deficiencies constituted a
material weakness.
Remediation of Material Weakness
As noted above, management determined that there were material weaknesses in our internal control
over financial reporting in the areas of goodwill and income taxes as of December 31, 2004.
Throughout fiscal 2005, we made numerous enhancements to our controls over financial reporting.
With respect to our accounting for goodwill, the following steps were taken and/or events have
occurred to alleviate the material weakness in this area:
|
|
|
Changes in personnel have increased the skill and experience level of senior
financial management related to the understanding and application of generally accepted
accounting principles. |
|
|
|
|
Continued accurate reporting unit identification and annual goodwill impairment
assessments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142),
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, demonstrates our understanding and compliance
with appropriate authoritative literature. |
|
|
|
|
Goodwill related to recent acquisitions has been properly accounted for and
allocated to the respective reporting units based on the requirements of SFAS 142. |
37
|
|
|
Another realignment in reporting structure in fiscal 2006 and the successful
integration of recently acquired businesses clearly defines the reporting unit as the
lowest level at which goodwill can be assessed in future periods. |
With respect to our accounting for income taxes, including the determination of income taxes
payable, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and the related income tax provision, the
following steps were taken:
|
|
|
The addition of a Director of Tax specializing in the accounting for income taxes in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. |
|
|
|
|
The addition of other key personnel and skill sets, including additions in specialty
and compliance areas. |
|
|
|
|
Development of definitive procedures for the detailed documentation and
reconciliations supporting the income tax payable, deferred income tax and tax
provision balances and amounts, including the review and approval of related journal
entries by appropriate subject matter experts. |
With the implementation of the above measures and other events occurring throughout fiscal 2005, we
have significantly improved our internal control over financial reporting and reduced to a remote
likelihood the possibility of a misstatement that would not be prevented or detected. We have
therefore concluded that the above referenced material weaknesses in internal control over
financial reporting have been fully corrected as of September 30, 2005.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), that occurred during the fiscal quarter
ended December 31, 2004, other than certain steps taken as part of the remediation of the material
weaknesses discussed above, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
