NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Watts Water Technologies, Inc. (the Company) Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 2, 2011, the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the third quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The accounting policies followed by the Company are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year ending on December 31st. Any quarterly or nine-month data contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q generally reflects the results of operations for a 13-week or 39-week period, respectively.

Certain amounts in the year December 31, 2010, have been reclassified to permit comparison with the 2011 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported results of operations or stockholders’ equity.

2. Accounting Policies

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by geographic segment are as follows:

	North America			Europe			China		Total
	(in millions)
Gross balance at January 1, 2011	$	213.8		$	228.1		$	8.1	$	450.0
Accumulated impairment losses	(22.0		)	—			—		(22.0		)
Net goodwill at January 1, 2011	191.8			228.1			8.1		428.0
Acquired	4.3			65.7			4.3		74.3
Effect of change in exchange rates used for translation	—			(1.8		)	0.3		(1.5		)
Gross balance at October 2, 2011	$	218.1		$	292.0		$	12.7	$	522.8
Accumulated impairment losses	(22.0		)	—			—		(22.0		)
Net goodwill at October 2, 2011	$	196.1		$	292.0		$	12.7	$	500.8

On April 29, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Danfoss Socla S.A.S. (Socla) and the related water controls business of certain other entities controlled by Danfoss A/S, in a share and asset purchase transaction. The aggregate consideration paid was EUR 120.0 million, less EUR 3.4 million in estimated working capital and related adjustments. The net consideration paid of EUR 116.6 million is subject to final working capital and related adjustments. The Company is accounting for the transaction as a business combination. The Company completed a preliminary purchase price allocation that resulted in the recognition of $74.3 million in goodwill and $41.9 million in intangible assets. Intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships with estimated lives of 10 years and trade names with either 20-year lives or indefinite lives. See Note 12 for additional information regarding the Socla acquisition.

Goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it is “more likely than not” that goodwill might be impaired, such as a change in business conditions. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment of goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization in the fourth quarter of each year.

Intangible assets with estimable lives and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of intangible assets with estimable lives and other long-lived assets are measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to

Table of Contents

future net undiscounted pretax cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the related estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either discounted future pretax operating cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. The Company determines the discount rate for this analysis based on the weighted average cost of capital based on the market and guideline public companies for the related business and does not allocate interest charges to the asset or asset group being measured. Significant management judgment is required to estimate future operating cash flows.

Intangible assets include the following:

	October 2, 2011
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
	(in millions)
Patents	$	16.7	$	(10.4	)	$	6.3
Customer relationships	151.9		(54.0		)	97.9
Technology	19.9		(6.8		)	13.1
Other	20.2		(6.2		)	14.0
Total amortizable intangibles	208.7		(77.4		)	131.3
Indefinite-lived intangible assets	48.3		—			48.3
Total	$	257.0	$	(77.4	)	$	179.6

During the nine months ended October 2, 2011, the Company recorded a $0.3 million impairment of a trade name in our European segment and subsequently reclassified the $2.1 million trade name value to amortizable intangibles.

Aggregate amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010 was $4.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, and for the nine-month periods of 2011 and 2010 was $13.5 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Additionally, future amortization expense for the next five years on amortizable intangible assets approximates $4.8 million for the remainder of 2011, $17.6 million for 2012, $16.2 million for 2013, $16.2 million for 2014 and $15.8 million for 2015. Amortization expense is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets. The weighted-average remaining life of total amortizable intangible assets is 12.0 years. Patents, customer relationships, technology and other amortizable intangibles have weighted-average remaining lives of 7.3 years, 7.5 years, 14.2 years and 21.9 years, respectively. Intangible assets not subject to amortization consist of certain trademarks and trade names.

Stock-Based Compensation and Chief Executive Officer Separation Costs

The Company maintains three stock incentive plans under which key employees and non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors have been granted incentive stock options (ISOs) and nonqualified stock options (NSOs) to purchase the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Only one plan, the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, is currently available for the grant of new stock options, which are currently being granted only to employees. Stock options granted under prior plans became exercisable over a five-year period at the rate of 20% per year and expire ten years after the date of grant. Under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, options become exercisable over a four-year period at the rate of 25% per year and expire ten years after the grant date. ISOs and NSOs granted under the plans may have exercise prices of not less than 100% and 50% of the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date of grant, respectively. The Company’s current practice is to grant all options at fair market value on the grant date. The Company issued 280,000 and 282,500 options to key employees under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan in the third quarter and in the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The fair value of each share issued under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:

	2011		2010
Expected life (years)	6.0		6.0
Expected stock price volatility	40.9	%	41.3	%
Expected dividend yield	1.5	%	1.3	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.6	%	1.9	%

The above assumptions were used to determine the weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options of $10.19 and $12.36 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company has also granted shares of restricted stock to key employees and stock awards to non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, which vest either immediately, over a one-year period, or over a three-year period at the rate of one-third per year. The restricted stock awards are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company issued 107,786 and 104,975 shares of restricted stock under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan in third

Table of Contents

quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company issued 109,186 and 104,975 shares of restricted stock under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan in the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company also has a Management Stock Purchase Plan that allows for the purchase of restricted stock units (RSUs) by key employees. On an annual basis, key employees may elect to receive a portion of their annual incentive compensation in RSUs instead of cash. Each RSU represents one share of Class A Common Stock and is purchased by the employee at 67% of the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. RSUs vest annually over a three-year period from the grant date and receipt of the shares underlying RSUs is deferred for a minimum of three years or such greater number of years as is chosen by the employee. An aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock may be issued under the Management Stock Purchase Plan. The Company granted 96,454 RSUs and 158,473 RSUs in the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The fair value of each RSU issued under the Management Stock Purchase Plan is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:

	2011		2010
Expected life (years)	3.0		3.0
Expected stock price volatility	44.9	%	45.6	%
Expected dividend yield	1.2	%	1.5	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.2	%	1.5	%

The above assumptions were used to determine the weighted average grant-date fair value of RSUs of $16.25 and $12.81 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

A more detailed description of each of these stock and stock option plans can be found in Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

On January 26, 2011, Patrick S. O’Keefe resigned from his positions of Chief Executive Officer, President and Director. The Company recorded a charge in the first quarter of 2011 of $6.3 million related to his separation agreement, consisting of $3.3 million in expected cash severance and a non-cash charge of $3.0 million for the modification of his stock options and restricted stock awards.

Shipping and Handling

The Company’s shipping costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.2 million and $8.6 million for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were $28.4 million and $25.7 million for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.3 million and $4.3 million for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were $16.0 million and $14.0 million for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Taxes, Other than Income Taxes

Taxes assessed by governmental authorities on sale transactions are recorded on a net basis and excluded from sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

New Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU intends to enhance comparability and transparency of other comprehensive income components. The guidance provides an option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income components as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The provisions of this ASU will be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted.

Table of Contents

The Company is currently evaluating the adoption of this new ASU, but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, accounting guidance was issued by FASB in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”. This guidance amends the requirements for goodwill impairment testing. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The Company intends to adopt this new standard effective with its annual goodwill impairment testing date of October 30, for the year ending December 31, 2011.

In the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded an estimated reserve of $5.3 million in discontinued operations in connection with its investigation of potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) at Watts Valve (Changsha) Co., Ltd. (CWV), a former indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in China (see Note 10). On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to resolve allegations concerning potential violations of the FCPA at CWV. Under the terms of the settlement, without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, the Company consented to entry of an administrative cease-and-desist order under the books and records and internal controls provisions of the FCPA. The Company has also agreed to pay to the SEC $3.6 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, and $200,000 in penalties. The Company anticipates that this settlement resolves all government investigations concerning CWV’s sales practices and potential FCPA violations. The Company recorded an estimated reserve of $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 and subsequently recorded a decrease of the reserve of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, which reflects the final settlement. There were no material developments with respect to our environmental remediation proceedings during the first nine months ended October 2, 2011. See Note 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Level 3 contingent consideration obligation in connection with the Blue Ridge Atlantic Enterprises, Inc. (BRAE) acquisition was $2.2 million as of October 2, 2011 and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2010. The increase in fair value of this obligation of $0.3 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2011 was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. See Note 5 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for a detailed description of the acquisition.

Short-term investment securities as of October 2, 2011 consists of a certificate of deposit with a remaining maturity of greater than three months at the date of purchase, for which the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Table of Contents

Cash equivalents consist of instruments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase and consist primarily of money market funds and certificates of deposits, for which the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

The Company uses financial instruments from time to time to enhance its ability to manage risk, including foreign currency and commodity pricing exposures, which exist as part of its ongoing business operations. The use of derivatives exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk related to changes in currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company manages its exposure to counterparty credit risk through careful due diligence and diversification of counterparties. The Company’s counterparties in derivative transactions are substantial commercial banks with significant experience using such derivative instruments. The impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of the Company’s derivative instruments is monitored and the Company restricts the use of derivative financial instruments to hedging activities. The Company does not enter into contracts for trading purposes nor does the Company enter into any contracts for speculative purposes. The use of derivative instruments is approved by senior management under written guidelines.

The Company has exposure to a number of foreign currency rates, including the Canadian dollar, the euro, the Chinese yuan and the British pound. To manage this risk, the Company generally uses a layering methodology whereby at the end of any quarter, the Company has generally entered into forward exchange contracts, which hedge approximately 50% of the projected intercompany purchase transactions for the next twelve months. The Company uses this strategy for purchases between Canada and the U.S., for purchases between the Euro zone and the U.S., and for purchases between the Euro zone and the United Kingdom. The average volume of contracts can vary but generally approximates $9 to $15 million in open contracts at the end of any given quarter. At October 2, 2011, the Company had contracts for purchases between Canada and the U.S. for notional amounts aggregating approximately $9.0 million to buy U.S. dollars. The Company accounts for the forward exchange contracts as an economic hedge and has not elected to use hedge accounting. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on the contracts are recognized in other (income) expense in the consolidated statements of operations. These contracts do not subject the Company to significant market risk from exchange movement because they offset gains and losses on the related foreign currency denominated transactions. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts as of October 2, 2011 was not material.

Fair Value

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables and trade payables approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

The fair values of the Company’s 5.47% senior notes due 2013, 5.85% senior notes due 2016 and 5.05% senior notes due 2020, are based on a discounted cash flow model using like industrial companies, the Company’s credit metrics, the Company’s size, as well as current market demand. The fair value of the Company’s variable rate debt approximates its carrying value. The carrying amount and the estimated fair market value of the Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion, are as follows:

	October 2,		December 31,
	2011		2010
	(in millions)
Carrying amount	$	454.2	$	378.7
Estimated fair value	$	499.8	$	407.5

5. Restructuring and Other Charges

The Company’s Board of Directors approves all major restructuring programs that involve the discontinuance of product lines or the shutdown of facilities. From time to time, the Company takes additional restructuring actions, including involuntary terminations that are not part of a major program. The Company accounts for these costs in the period that the individual employees are notified or the liability is incurred. These costs are included in restructuring and other charges in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company also includes as part of other charges, expenses associated with asset impairments. In 2011, the Board approved a restructuring program with respect to the Company’s operating facilities in Europe, which included the Company closure of a facility. The program is expected to include pre-tax costs of approximately $2.6 million, including costs for severance and shut down costs. The total net after-tax charge for this restructuring program is $1.8 million with costs being incurred through 2012. See Note 4 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for a detailed description of the 2010 Europe and North America restructuring actions. Also, in 2011 the Board approved an integration program in association with the acquisition of Socla. The integration program was designed to eliminate certain redundancies with a total estimated pre-tax cost of $6.4 million with costs being incurred through 2012. In September 2011, the Company announced a plan of termination that would result in a reduction of approximately 10% of North American non-direct payroll costs. The Company recorded a charge of $1.1 million for severance in connection with the plan during the quarter ended October 2, 2011. The Company expects to pay all severance before the end of 2011.

A summary of the pre-tax cost by restructuring program is as follows:

9. Debt

The Company’s credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) provides for a multi-currency $300.0 million, five-year, senior unsecured revolving credit facility which may be increased by an additional $150.0 million under certain circumstances and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement has a sublimit of up to $75.0 million in letters of credit.

Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of Eurocurrency rate loans, the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 1.70% to 2.30%, determined by reference to the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio plus, in the case of certain lenders, a mandatory cost calculated in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) in the case of base rate loans and swing line loans, the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced by Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate,” and (c) the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 0.70% to 1.30%, determined by reference to the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. In addition to paying interest under the Credit Agreement, the Company is also required to pay certain fees in connection with the credit facility, including, but not limited to, a facility fee and letter of credit fees. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests. The Credit Agreement matures on June 18, 2015. The Company may repay loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement from time to time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, if any, and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. As of October 2, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Agreement and had $198.8 million of unused and available credit under the Credit Agreement and $34.6 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding on the Credit Agreement. The Company had $66.6 million of euro-denominated borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement at October 2, 2011.

The Company is a party to several note agreements as further detailed in Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. These note agreements require the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA plus consolidated rent expense during the period to consolidated fixed charges. Consolidated fixed charges are the sum of consolidated interest expense for the period and consolidated rent expense. As of October 2, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants regarding these note agreements.

10. Contingencies and Environmental Remediation

As disclosed in Part I, Item 1, “Product Liability, Environmental and Other Litigation Matters” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company was party to certain litigation, has conducted an investigation regarding information that employees of CWV made payments to employees of state-owned agencies and whether such payments may violate FCPA, and is engaged in certain environmental remediation. On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to resolve allegations concerning potential violations of the FCPA at CWV. Under the terms of the settlement, without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, the Company consented to entry of an administrative cease-and-desist order under the books and records and internal controls provisions of the FCPA. The Company has also agreed to pay to the SEC $3.6 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, and $200,000 in penalties. The Company anticipates that this settlement resolves all government investigations concerning CWV’s sales practices and potential FCPA violations. The Company recorded an estimated reserve of $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 and subsequently recorded a decrease of the reserve of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, which reflects the final settlement amount. There were no material developments with respect to our environmental remediation proceedings or litigation during the first nine months ended October 2, 2011.

11. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all of its domestic employees. Benefits are based primarily on years of service and employees’ compensation. The funding policy of the Company for these plans is to contribute an annual amount that does not exceed the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes.

The components of net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

	Third Quarter Ended						Nine Months Ended

The Company does not expect to make any additional contributions to its pension plan for the remainder of 2011.

12. Acquisition

On April 29, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Danfoss Socla S.A.S. (Socla) and the related water controls business of certain other entities controlled by Danfoss A/S, in a share and asset purchase transaction. The aggregate consideration paid was EUR 120.0 million, less EUR 3.4 million in estimated working capital and related adjustments. The net purchase price of EUR 116.6 million was financed with cash on hand and euro-based borrowings under our Credit Agreement. The net purchase price, which is subject to final working capital and related adjustments, is equal to approximately $172.8 million based on the exchange rate of Euro to U.S. dollars as of April 29, 2011.

Socla is a manufacturer of water protection valves and flow control solutions for the water market and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning market. Its major product lines include backflow preventers, check valves and pressure reducing valves. Socla is based in France, and its products are distributed worldwide for commercial, residential, municipal and industrial use. Socla’s annual revenue for 2010 was approximately $130.0 million. Socla strengthens the Company’s European plumbing and flow control products and also adds to its HVAC products.

The Company is accounting for the transaction as a business combination. The Company completed a preliminary purchase price allocation that resulted in the recognition of $74.3 million in goodwill and $41.9 million in intangible assets. Intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships with estimated lives of 10 years and trade names with either 20-year lives or indefinite lives. The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of Socla and the synergies that are expected to arise as a result of the acquisition. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The following table summarizes the preliminary value of the assets and liabilities acquired (in millions):

Cash	$	10.4
Accounts receivable	28.2
Inventory	25.3
Fixed assets	46.8
Other assets	2.5
Intangible assets	41.9
Goodwill	74.3
Accounts payable	(8.2		)
Accrued expenses and other	(15.5		)
Deferred tax liability	(22.1		)
Debt	(10.8		)
Preliminary purchase price	$	172.8

The purchase price allocation for the acquisition noted above is preliminary pending the final valuations of fair values of intangible assets and certain assumed assets and liabilities and the resolution of the final purchase price, including working capital and related adjustments.

The consolidated statement of operations includes the results of Socla since the acquisition date and includes $63.2 million of revenues and $1.0 million of operating losses, which includes non-recurring acquisition accounting charges of $5.4 million and restructuring charges of $2.8 million. During the nine months ended October 2, 2011, due diligence costs of $1.1 million were included in selling, general and administrative costs.

Supplemental pro-forma information (unaudited)

Had the Company completed the acquisition of Socla at the beginning of 2010, net sales, net income from continuing operations and earnings per share from continuing operations would have been as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations

Overview

The following discussion and analysis are provided to increase understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes. In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, references to “the Company,” “Watts,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Watts Water Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We operate on a 52-week fiscal year ending on December 31. Any quarterly or nine-month data contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q generally reflects the results of operations for a 13-week or 39-week period, respectively.

We are a leading supplier of products for use in the water quality, water safety, water flow control and water conservation markets in both North America and Europe with a presence in China. For over 135 years, we have designed and manufactured products that promote comfort and safety and water quality and conservation in commercial and residential building applications. We earn revenue and income almost exclusively from the sale of our products. Our principal product lines include:

· water quality products, including backflow preventers and check valves for preventing reverse flow within water lines and fire protection systems and point-of-use and point-of-entry water filtration and reverse osmosis systems for both commercial and residential applications;

· a wide range of water pressure regulators for both commercial and residential applications;

· drainage products for industrial, commercial, marine and residential applications;

· water supply products for commercial and residential applications;

· temperature and pressure relief valves for water heaters, boilers and associated systems;

· thermostatic mixing valves for tempering water in commercial and residential applications;

· systems for under-floor radiant applications and hydraulic pump groups for gas boiler manufacturers and renewable energy applications, including thermal control and solar and heat pump control packages; and

· flexible stainless steel connectors for natural and liquid propane gas in commercial food service and residential applications.

Our business is reported in three geographic segments: North America, Europe and China. We distribute our products through three primary distribution channels: wholesale, do-it-yourself (DIY) and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Interest rates, the unemployment rate and credit availability have an indirect effect on the demand for our products due to the effect such rates have on the number of new residential and commercial construction starts and remodeling projects. All of these activities have an impact on our levels of sales and earnings. An additional factor that has had an effect on our sales and operating income is fluctuation in foreign currencies, as a portion of our sales and certain portions of our costs, assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

During the third quarter of 2011, organic sales increased by 2.8% over last year’s comparable period, with increased sales in our North American and European wholesale markets being offset by reduced sales in European OEM & DIY markets. Organic sales in the third quarter of 2011 increased over the third quarter of 2010 in North America by $9.3 million, or 4.8%, while Europe decreased by $0.4 million, or 0.3%, and China decreased by $0.1 million, or 2.0%. Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of sales growth excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We believe this provides investors with a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. A key driver of the overall sales increase was our improved coverage of raw material cost increases in the North American wholesale business. While we were not able to fully recover the increased costs in Europe and in the North American DIY market, we were able to improve our gross margins during the third quarter of 2011 in comparison to the second quarter of 2011 and to the third quarter of 2010 through selected price increases in the North American wholesale market. During the quarter ended October 2, 2011, commodity costs declined modestly, and are down from highs seen in early 2011, but we anticipate continued volatility. We continue to improve plant absorption through facility consolidation and through productivity initiatives from continuous improvement programs. In addition, as previously announced, we implemented a plan of termination that resulted in the reduction of approximately 10% of our North America non-direct payroll cost. The terminations cost approximately $1.1 million. The plan is intended to improve our cost leverage by reducing our annual operating costs by over $5.0 million in response to the expected continued slow growth in our residential and commercial businesses.

We believe that the factors relating to our future growth include the demand for clean water around the world, regulatory requirements relating to the quality and conservation of water, continued enforcement of plumbing and building codes, our ability to grow organically in select attractive market segments, the successful completion of selective acquisitions, both in our core markets as well as in new complementary markets, and a healthy economic environment. Our acquisition strategy focuses on businesses that manufacture preferred brand name products that address our themes of water quality, water conservation, water safety, water flow

control, HVAC and related complementary markets. We target businesses that will provide us with one or more of the following: an entry into new markets, an increase in shelf space with existing customers, a new or improved technology or an expansion of the breadth of our water quality, water conservation, water safety and water flow control and HVAC products for the residential and commercial construction markets.

We have completed 35 acquisitions since divesting our industrial and oil and gas business in 1999. During 2010, we completed two acquisitions. On April 13, 2010 we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Blue Ridge Atlantic Enterprises, Inc. (BRAE) and on June 28, 2010 we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Austroflex Rohr-Isoliersysteme GmbH (Austroflex). Additionally, on April 29, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Danfoss Socla S.A.S. (Socla) and the related water controls business of certain other entities controlled by Danfoss A/S, in a share and asset purchase transaction. The aggregate consideration paid was EUR 120.0 million, less EUR 3.4 million in estimated working capital and related adjustments. The net purchase price of EUR 116.6 million was financed with cash on hand and euro-based borrowings under our Credit Agreement. The net purchase price, which is subject to final working capital and related adjustments, is equal to approximately $172.8 million based on the exchange rate of Euro to U.S. dollars as of April 29, 2011. Socla is a manufacturer of water protection valves and flow control solutions for the water market and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning market. Its major product lines include backflow preventers, check valves and pressure reducing valves. Socla is based in France, and its products are distributed worldwide for commercial, residential, municipal and industrial use. Socla’s annual revenue for 2010 was approximately $130.0 million. Socla strengthens our European plumbing and flow control products and also adds to our HVAC products.

Products representing a majority of our sales are subject to regulatory standards and code enforcement, which typically require that these products meet stringent performance criteria. Together with our commissioned manufacturers’ representatives, we have consistently advocated for the development and enforcement of such plumbing codes. We are focused on maintaining stringent quality control and testing procedures at each of our manufacturing facilities in order to manufacture products in compliance with code requirements and take advantage of the resulting demand for compliant products.

Historically, we have faced a risk relating to our ability to respond to raw material cost fluctuations. We manage this risk by monitoring related market prices, working with our suppliers to achieve the maximum level of stability in their costs and related pricing, seeking alternative supply sources when necessary, purchasing forward commitments for raw materials, when available, implementing cost reduction programs and passing increases in costs to our customers in the form of price increases.

Another risk we face in all areas of our business is competition. We consider brand preference, engineering specifications, code requirements, price, technological expertise, delivery times, quality and breadth of product offerings to be the primary competitive factors. We believe that product development, product testing capability, breadth of product offerings and investment in plant and equipment needed to manufacture products in compliance with code requirements represent a competitive advantage for us. We are committed to maintaining our capital equipment at a level consistent with current technologies, and thus we expect to spend an aggregate of approximately $22.0 million during 2011 for purchases of capital equipment.

In connection with our manufacturing footprint consolidation activities, we closed the operations of Tianjin Watts Valve Company Ltd. (TWVC) and relocated its manufacturing operations to other facilities. On April 12, 2010, we signed a definitive equity transfer agreement to sell our equity ownership and remaining assets of TWVC. The sale is expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2011, subject to final agreements with the buyer. We expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $5.5 million from the sale. We also expect to record a net gain of approximately $7.5 million after-tax, primarily to recognize the cumulative currency translation adjustment related to TWVC. Further, we will recognize a $3.3 million net gain to reverse a tax provision upon completion of the sale.

Recent Events

Dividend Declared

On October 31, 2011, we declared a quarterly dividend of eleven cents ($0.11) per share on each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock payable on December 2, 2011 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 21, 2011.

New Director

On October 31, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors elected W. Craig Kissel to serve as a member of our Board of Directors until our 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified. Mr. Kissel was also appointed by the Board to serve as a member of each of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.

Pension Plans Freeze

On October 31, 2011, the Board of Directors voted to cease accruals effective December 31, 2011 under both our Pension Plan and Supplemental Employees Retirement Plan. We will record a charge of approximately $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 in connection with this action. The Board also voted to enhance our 401(k) Savings Plan. Based on current interest and discount rates, we expect the net effect of these two benefit changes will save an estimated $2 million annually in future expenses beginning in 2012.

Results of Operations

Third Quarter Ended October 2, 2011 Compared to Third Quarter Ended October 3, 2010

Net Sales. Our business is reported in three geographic segments: North America, Europe and China. Our net sales in each of these segments for each of the third quarters of 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

	Third Quarter Ended October 2, 2011				Third Quarter Ended October 3, 2010						% Change to Consolidated
	Net Sales		% Sales		Net Sales		% Sales		Change		Net Sales
	(dollars in millions)
North America	$	205.6	55.4	%	$	191.8	61.0	%	$	13.8	4.4	%
Europe	159.3		43.0		117.8		37.4		41.5		13.2
China	5.9		1.6		5.0		1.6		0.9		0.3
Total	$	370.8	100.0	%	$	314.6	100.0	%	$	56.2	17.9	%

The increase (decrease) in net sales in each of the three geographic segments is attributable to the following:

											Change As a % of Consolidated Net Sales								Change As a % of Segment Net Sales
	North America		Europe			China			Total		North America		Europe		China		Total		North America		Europe		China
	(dollars in millions)
Organic	$	9.3	$	(0.4	)	$	(0.1	)	$	8.8	3.0	%	(0.1	)%	(0.1	)%	2.8	%	4.9	%	(0.3	)%	(2.0	)%
Foreign exchange	1.2		10.4			0.2			11.8		0.4		3.3		0.1		3.8		0.6		8.8		4.0

Organic net sales in the North American wholesale market in the third quarter of 2011 increased by 6.0% compared to the third quarter of 2010. This increase was primarily due to increased unit pricing across our product lines. Organic sales into the North American DIY market in the third quarter of 2011 were flat compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Organic sales into the European wholesale market in the third quarter of 2011 increased 0.6% compared to the third quarter of 2010, primarily from increased sales in our drains platform. This increase was offset by a decrease in the European OEM and DIY markets.

The increases in net sales due to foreign exchange are primarily due to the appreciation of the euro and Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar. We cannot predict whether these currencies will continue to appreciate or depreciate against the U.S. dollar in future periods or whether future foreign exchange rate fluctuations will have a positive or negative impact on our net sales.

Acquired net sales growth in North America, Europe and China was due to the inclusion of Socla.

Gross Profit. Gross profit and gross profit as a percent of net sales (gross margin) for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Gross profit	$	135.7		$	113.8
Gross margin	36.6		%	36.2		%

Gross margin increased 0.4 percentage points in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. North America’s gross margin expanded due to improved coverage of increased raw material costs in the wholesale market, productivity initiative, and favorable sales mix. Europe’s gross margin declined primarily from increased raw material costs that were not completely recovered with higher sales prices, acquisition accounting charges of $1.8 million related to the acquisition of Socla, and, to a lesser extent, from product mix. Gross margins improved in China due to expanded margins on trade sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, General and Administrative, or SG&A, expenses for the third quarter of 2011 increased $13.3 million, or 16.8%, compared to the third quarter of 2010. The increase in SG&A expenses was attributable to the following:

	(in millions)		% Change

Organic	$	2.0	2.5	%
Foreign exchange	2.8		3.5
Acquired	8.5		10.8
Total	$	13.3	16.8	%

Table of Contents

The organic increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to increased product liability costs, variable selling costs and information technology costs, offset by decreased legal and personnel-related costs. The increase in SG&A expenses from foreign exchange was primarily due to the appreciation of the euro against the U.S. dollar. The inclusion of Socla was the driver of the acquired increase. Total SG&A expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 25.0% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 25.2% in the third quarter of 2010.

Restructuring and Other Charges. In the third quarter of 2011, we recorded a charge of $1.9 million primarily for involuntary terminations and other costs incurred as part of our European restructuring plans and our North American reduction-in-force, as compared to $3.0 million of restructuring charges for the third quarter of 2010. For a more detailed description of our current restructuring plans, see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating Income. Operating income (loss) by geographic segment for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

	Third Quarter Ended									% Change to Consolidated

The increase in consolidated organic operating income was primarily due to recovery of increased commodity costs in our sales prices in the North American wholesale market, increased productivity from our footprint consolidations and operational excellence programs and product mix. The decrease in organic operating income in Europe was due to our inability to fully recover increased commodity costs. The acquired income relates to Socla. Additionally, restructuring costs decreased primarily due to reduced charges related to the restructuring program in France.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $0.4 million, or 6.6%, for the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to the interest on additional borrowings under our revolving line of credit incurred in connection with the acquisition of Socla and higher line of credit fees.

Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate for continuing operations decreased to 33.0% in the third quarter of 2011, from 33.7% for the third quarter of 2010. The lower effective income tax rate in 2011 was attributable to lower earnings in high tax jurisdictions in Europe.

Net Income From Continuing Operations. Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2011 was $23.6 million, or $0.63 per common share, compared to $17.3 million, or $0.46 per common share, for the third quarter of 2010. Results for the third quarter of 2011 include an after-tax charge of $1.2 million, or $0.03 per common share, for restructuring and other charges related primarily to involuntary terminations and other costs compared to an after-tax restructuring and other charge of $2.3 million, or $0.06 per common share, for the third quarter of 2010. The appreciation of the euro and Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar resulted in a positive impact on our operations of $0.03 per common share for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the comparable period in 2010. We cannot predict whether the euro, Canadian dollar or Chinese yuan will appreciate or depreciate against the U.S. dollar in future periods or whether future foreign exchange rate fluctuations will have a positive or negative impact on our net income.

Nine Months Ended October 2, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended October 3, 2010

Net Sales. Our net sales by segment for each of the first nine months of 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Organic net sales in the North American wholesale market in the first nine months of 2011 increased by 4.2% compared to the first nine months of 2010. This increase was primarily due to increased unit pricing and some volume growth in our drains and plumbing and heating product lines. Organic sales into the North American DIY market in the first nine months of 2011 decreased 4.4% compared to the first nine months of 2010, primarily from decreased product sales volume.

Organic sales into the European OEM market in the first nine months of 2011 increased 1.6% compared to the first nine months of 2010, primarily from increased sales of under-floor radiant heating products in the German OEM market. Organic net sales in the European wholesale market increased by 1.9% compared to the first nine months of 2010. This increase was primarily due to increased sales in our drain product lines. Organic sales into the European DIY market in the first nine months of 2011 decreased 10.4% compared to the first nine months of 2010 primarily due to a weak market in France.

Acquired net sales growth in North America was due to the inclusion of Socla and BRAE. Acquired net sales growth in Europe was due to the inclusion of Socla and Austroflex. Acquired net sales growth in China was due to the inclusion of Socla.

Gross Profit. Gross profit and gross margin for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

	Nine Months Ended
	October 2, 2011			October 3, 2010
	(dollars in millions)
Gross profit	$	387.0		$	352.0
Gross margin	36.0		%	36.7		%

Gross margin decreased 0.7 percentage points in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010. Europe’s gross margin declined primarily due to acquisition accounting charges related to the acquisition of Socla of $5.4 million and increased raw material costs that were not completely recovered through higher sales prices. North America’s gross margin improved due to increased recovery of raw material costs in the wholesale market. Gross margins improved in China due to increased factory throughput and improved margin on trade sales compared to the first nine months of 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses for the first nine months of 2011 increased $35.4 million, or 14.0%, compared to the first nine months of 2010. The increase in SG&A expenses was attributable to the following:

	(in millions)		% Change

Organic	$	8.8	3.5	%
Foreign exchange	6.6		2.6
Acquired	20.0		7.9
Total	$	35.4	14.0	%

The organic increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to the one-time separation benefit for our former chief executive officer of $6.3 million, consisting of $3.3 million in expected cash severance and a non-cash charge of $3.0 million for the modification of his stock options and restricted stock awards. Additionally, we experienced higher variable selling costs, increased personnel-related costs primarily related to severance, and increased acquisition costs, offset by a legal reimbursement settlement and lower health care costs. The inclusion of Socla and Austroflex was the primary driver of the acquired increase. Total SG&A expenses, as a percentage of sales, was 26.7% in the first nine months of 2011 compared to 26.3% in the first nine months of 2010.

Table of Contents

Restructuring and Other Charges. In the first nine months of 2011, we recorded a charge of $8.5 million primarily for severance and other costs incurred as part of our restructuring programs, as compared to $8.8 million for the first nine months of 2010. For a more detailed description of our restructuring plans, see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating Income. Operating income (loss) by geographic segment for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

	Nine Months Ended									% Change to Consolidated

The decrease in consolidated organic operating income was primarily due to the one-time separation benefit for our former chief executive officer and our inability to fully recover increased commodity costs in our sales prices in the European markets and the North American DIY market. We also experienced manufacturing inefficiencies due to our restructuring program in France during the first half of 2011.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $2.4 million, or 14.4%, for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the first nine months of 2010, primarily due to the interest on additional borrowings under our revolving line of credit incurred in connection with the acquisition of Socla and incremental private placement debt and higher line of credit fees.

Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 33.9% and 32.1% for the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, respectively. The lower effective rate in 2010 was primarily due to the release of a valuation allowance on net operating losses in Europe in 2010. Furthermore, non-deductible acquisition costs associated with the Socla acquisition in Europe contributed to the higher rate in 2011.

Net Income From Continuing Operations. Net income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2011 was $47.6 million, or $1.26 per common share, compared to $51.7 million, or $1.38 per common share, for the first nine months of 2010. Results for the first nine months of 2011 include an after-tax charge of $5.6 million, or $0.15 per common share, for restructuring and other charges compared to an after-tax restructuring and other charge of $8.5 million, or $0.23 per common share, for the first nine months of 2010. Additionally, 2011 results include an after-tax one-time charge of $3.9 million, or $0.11 per common share, related to our former Chief Executive Officer’s separation agreement. The release of the valuation allowance in Europe on net operating losses noted above contributed a tax benefit of $0.08 per common share to the first nine months of 2010. The appreciation of the euro and Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar resulted in a positive impact on our operations of $0.06 per common share for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the comparable period in 2010. We cannot predict whether the euro, Canadian dollar or Chinese yuan will appreciate or depreciate against the U.S. dollar in future periods or whether future foreign exchange rate fluctuations will have a positive or negative impact on our net income.

Income (Loss) From Discontinued Operations, net of taxes. Income from discontinued operations for the first nine months of 2011 was primarily attributable to a reserve adjustment of $1.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, related to the FCPA investigation. The loss from discontinued operations for the first nine months of 2010 was primarily attributable to the establishment of the reserve for the estimated disgorgement of profits and legal costs related to the FCPA investigation. As previously discussed, the FCPA matter was settled on October 13, 2011. This matter is discussed in Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generated $56.5 million of cash from operating activities in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to $75.3 million of cash in the first nine months of 2010. This decrease is primarily due to larger tax payments in 2011. We anticipate cash flow improvement through the balance of 2011.

Table of Contents

We used $179.0 million of net cash from investing activities for the first nine months of 2011 primarily for the acquisition of Socla. We also spent $16.4 million of cash for capital equipment. For the remainder of fiscal year 2011, we expect to invest approximately $6.0 million in capital equipment as part of our ongoing commitment to improve our operating capabilities.

We generated $30.5 million of net cash from financing activities for the first nine months of 2011, primarily from borrowings under our line of credit facility to finance the Socla acquisition, partially offset by dividend payments and payments for our stock repurchase program.

Our credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) provides for a multi-currency $300.0 million, five-year, senior unsecured revolving credit facility which may be increased by an additional $150.0 million under certain circumstances and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement has a sublimit of up to $75.0 million in letters of credit.

Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of Eurocurrency rate loans, the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 1.70% to 2.30%, determined by reference to our consolidated leverage ratio plus, in the case of certain lenders, a mandatory cost calculated in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) in the case of base rate loans and swing line loans, the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced by Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate,” and (c) the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 0.70% to 1.30%, determined by reference to our consolidated leverage ratio. In addition to paying interest under the Credit Agreement, we are also required to pay certain fees in connection with the credit facility, including, but not limited to, a facility fee and letter of credit fees. Under the Credit Agreement, we are required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests. The Credit Agreement matures on June 18, 2015. We may repay loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement from time to time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, if any, and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. As of October 2, 2011, we had $66.6 million of euro-based borrowings and $34.6 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding on the Credit Agreement. As of October 2, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Agreement and had $198.8 million of unused and available credit under the Credit Agreement.

Working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) as of October 2, 2011 was $563.1 million compared to $578.4 million as of December 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in cash used to fund the Socla acquisition, offset by increased accounts receivable and inventory and net working capital contributed by the Socla acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $246.3 million as of October 2, 2011, compared to $329.2 million as of December 31, 2010. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.9 to 1 as of October 2, 2011 compared to 3.1 to 1 as of December 31, 2010.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance because it provides investors with a measure of our ability to generate cash, to repay debt, pay dividends, repurchase stock, and to fund acquisitions. In addition, free cash flow is used as a criterion to measure and pay certain incentive compensation. Other companies may define free cash flow differently. Free cash flow does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP. Therefore it should not be considered an alternative to net cash provided by operations as an indication of our performance. Free cash flow should also not be considered an alternative to net cash provided by operations as defined by GAAP. The cash conversion rate of free cash flow to net income from continuing operations is also a measure of our performance in cash flow generation.

Table of Contents

A reconciliation of net cash provided by continuing operations to free cash flow and calculation of our cash conversion rate is provided below:

	Nine Months Ended
	October 2, 2011			October 3, 2010

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	56.5		$	75.3
Less: additions to property, plant, and equipment	(16.4		)	(18.4		)
Plus: proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment	0.6			1.2
Free cash flow	$	40.7		$	58.1

Net income from continuing operations	$	47.6		$	51.7

Cash conversion rate of free cash flow to net income from continuing operations	85.5		%	112.4		%

Our free cash flow in the first nine months of 2011 was lower when compared to the first nine months of 2010 primarily due to increased income tax payments.

Our net debt to capitalization ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure, as reconciled below, defined as short and long-term interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of the sum of short and long-term interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents plus total stockholders’ equity) for the first nine months of 2011 was 18.2%, comparable to 5.2% at December 31, 2010. The increase in net debt to capitalization ratio is due primarily to incremental borrowings and cash outlay related to the Socla acquisition. Management believes the net debt to capitalization ratio is an appropriate supplemental measure because it helps investors understand our ability to meet our financing needs and as a basis to evaluate our financial structure. Our computation may not be comparable to other companies that may define their net debt to capitalization ratios differently.

We maintain letters of credit that guarantee our performance or payment to third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. Amounts outstanding were approximately $34.6 million as of October 2, 2011 and $35.0 million at December 31, 2010. Our letters of credit are primarily associated with insurance coverage and, to a lesser extent, foreign purchases and generally expire within one year of issuance. These instruments may exist or expire without being drawn down; therefore they do not necessarily represent future cash flow obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except for operating lease commitments, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Key Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. A critical accounting estimate is an assumption about highly uncertain matters and could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements if another, also reasonable, amount were used, or, a

Table of Contents

change in the estimate is reasonably likely from period to period. We base our assumptions on historical experience and on other estimates that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. There were no changes in accounting policies or significant changes in accounting estimates during the first nine months of 2011.

We periodically discuss the development, selection and disclosure of the estimates with our Audit Committee. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect its more significant estimates and assumptions.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (1) we have entered into a binding agreement, (2) the product has shipped and title has passed, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or is determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue based upon a determination that all criteria for revenue recognition have been met, which, based on the majority of our shipping terms, is considered to have occurred upon shipment of the finished product. Some shipping terms require the goods to be received by the customer before title passes. In those instances, revenues are not recognized until the customer has received the goods. We record estimated reductions to revenue for customer returns and allowances, cash discounts and for customer programs. Provisions for returns and allowances and cash discounts are made at the time of sale, derived from historical trends and form a portion of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Customer rebate programs, which are primarily annual volume incentive plans, allow customers to earn credit for attaining agreed upon purchase targets from us. We record estimated reductions to revenue, made at the time of sale, for customer rebate programs based on estimated purchase targets.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is established to represent our best estimate of the net realizable value of the outstanding accounts receivable. The development of our allowance for doubtful accounts varies by region but in general is based on a review of past due amounts, historical write-off experience, as well as aging trends affecting specific accounts and general operational factors affecting all accounts. In North America, management specifically analyzes individual accounts receivable and establishes specific reserves against financially troubled customers. In addition, factors are developed utilizing historical trends in bad debts, returns and allowances. The ratio of these factors to sales on a rolling twelve-month basis is applied to total outstanding receivables (net of accounts specifically identified) to establish a reserve. In Europe, management develops its bad debt allowance through an aging analysis of all their accounts. In China, management specifically analyzes individual accounts receivable and establishes specific reserves as needed along with providing reserves based on aging analysis.

We uniformly consider current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. We also aggressively monitor the creditworthiness of our largest customers, and periodically review customer credit limits to reduce risk. If circumstances relating to specific customers change or unanticipated changes occur in the general business environment, our estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted.

Inventory valuation

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with costs determined primarily on a first-in first-out basis. We utilize both specific product identification and historical product demand as the basis for determining our excess or obsolete inventory reserve. Historical product demand is defined as inventories that exceed a range of one to four years in sales depending on geographic location. This is determined by comparing the current inventory balance against unit sales for the trailing twelve months. New products added to inventory within the past twelve months are excluded from this analysis. A portion of our products contain recoverable materials, therefore the excess and obsolete reserve is established net of any recoverable amounts. Changes in market conditions, lower-than-expected customer demand or changes in technology or features could result in additional obsolete inventory that is not saleable and could require additional inventory reserve provisions.

In certain countries, additional inventory reserves are maintained for potential shrinkage experienced in the manufacturing process. The reserve is established based on the prior year’s inventory losses adjusted for any change in the gross inventory balance.

Goodwill and other intangibles

We have made numerous acquisitions over the years which included the recognition of a significant amount of goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss may have been incurred. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using an income approach based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. We believe this approach yields the most appropriate evidence of fair value as our reporting units are not easily compared to other corporations involved in similar businesses.

Intangible assets such as purchased technology are generally recorded in connection with a business acquisition. Values assigned to intangible assets are determined by an independent valuation firm based on our estimates and judgments regarding expectations of the success and life cycle of products and technology acquired. We have determined we have eight reporting units in continuing operations, one of which has no goodwill.

Table of Contents

We review goodwill for impairment utilizing a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test requires a comparison of the fair value of each of our reporting units to the respective carrying value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit is less than its fair value, no indication of impairment exists and a second step is not performed. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is an indication that an impairment may exist and a second step must be performed. In the second step, the impairment is computed by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized for the excess and charged to operations. In September 2011, accounting guidance was issued that amends the requirements for goodwill impairment testing. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. We intend to adopt this new standard effective with our annual goodwill impairment testing date of October 30, for the year ending December 31, 2011.

Inherent in our development of the present value of future cash flow projections are assumptions and estimates derived from a review of our operating results, business plans, expected growth rates, cost of capital and tax rates. We also make certain assumptions about future economic conditions and other market data. We develop our assumptions based on our historical results including sales growth, operating profits, working capital levels and tax rates.

We believe that the discounted cash flow model is sensitive to the selected discount rate. We use third-party valuation specialists to help develop appropriate discount rates for each reporting unit. We use standard valuation practices to arrive at a weighted average cost of capital based on the market and guideline public companies. The higher the discount rate, the lower the discounted cash flows. While we believe that our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions could significantly affect our valuations and result in impairments in the future.

The Orion reporting unit’s operating results have been hindered by the downturn in the commercial and institutional end markets in the U.S., where Orion sells a majority of its drainage products. While Orion is currently meeting budgeted expectations, should Orion’s sales decline because the commercial marketplace deteriorates beyond our current expectations, then the reporting unit’s goodwill may be at risk for impairment in the future. Orion’s goodwill balance as of October 2, 2011 was $24.6 million. As of October 31, 2010, our last impairment analysis date, the fair value of the Orion reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 17%.

Product liability and workers’ compensation costs

Because of retention requirements associated with our insurance policies, we are generally self-insured for potential product liability claims and for workers’ compensation costs associated with workplace accidents. We maintain excess liability insurance with outside insurance carriers to minimize our risks related to catastrophic claims in excess of all self-insured positions. For product liability cases in the U.S., management estimates expected settlement costs by utilizing loss reports provided by our third-party administrators as well as developing internal historical trend factors based on our specific claims experience. Management utilizes the internal trend factors that reflect final expected settlement costs. In other countries, we maintain insurance coverage with relatively high deductible payments, as product liability claims tend to be smaller than those experienced in the U.S. Changes in the nature of claims or the actual settlement amounts could affect the adequacy of this estimate and require changes to the provisions. Because the liability is an estimate, the ultimate liability may be more or less than reported.

Workers’ compensation liabilities in the U.S. are recognized for claims incurred (including claims incurred but not reported) and for changes in the status of individual case reserves. At the time a workers’ compensation claim is filed, a liability is estimated to settle the claim. The liability for workers’ compensation claims is determined based on management’s estimates of the nature and severity of the claims and based on analysis provided by second-party administrators and by various state statutes and reserve requirements. We have developed our own trend factors based on our specific claims experience, discounted based on risk-free interest rates. In other countries where workers’ compensation costs are applicable, we maintain insurance coverage with limited deductible payments. Because the liability is an estimate, the ultimate liability may be more or less than reported and is subject to changes in discount rates.

We determine the trend factors for product liability and workers’ compensation liabilities based on consultation with outside actuaries.

Any material change in the aforementioned factors could have an adverse impact on our operating results.

Legal contingencies

We are a defendant in numerous legal matters including those involving environmental law and product liability as discussed in more detail in Part I, Item 1, “Business - Product Liability, Environmental and Other Litigation Matters,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. As required by GAAP, we determine whether an estimated loss from a loss contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and the loss amount can be reasonably estimated, net of any applicable insurance proceeds. Estimates of potential outcomes of these contingencies are developed in consultation with outside counsel. While this assessment is based upon all available information, litigation is inherently uncertain and the actual liability to fully

resolve this litigation cannot be predicted with any assurance of accuracy. Final resolution of these matters could possibly result in significant effects on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Pension benefits

We account for our pension plans in accordance with GAAP, which involves recording a liability or asset based on the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. Assumptions are made regarding the valuation of benefit obligations and the performance of plan assets. The primary assumptions are as follows:

· Weighted average discount rate—this rate is used to estimate the current value of future benefits. This rate is adjusted based on movement in long-term interest rates.

· Expected long-term rate of return on assets—this rate is used to estimate future growth in investments and investment earnings. The expected return is based upon a combination of historical market performance and anticipated future returns for a portfolio reflecting the mix of equity, debt and other investments indicative of our plan assets.

· Rates of increase in compensation levels—this rate is used to estimate projected annual pay increases, which are used to determine the wage base used to project employees’ pension benefits at retirement.

We determine these assumptions based on consultation with outside actuaries and investment advisors. Any variance in these assumptions could have a significant impact on future recognized pension costs, assets and liabilities.

On October 31, 2011, the Board of Directors voted to cease accruals effective December 31, 2011 under both the Pension Plan and Supplemental Employees Retirement Plan. We expect to record a curtailment charge of approximately $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 in connection with this action. Effective January 1, 2012, we will begin amortizing the unamortized gains and losses over the remaining life expectancy of the participants instead our current policy of average remaining service.

Income taxes

We estimate and use our expected annual effective income tax rates to accrue income taxes. Effective tax rates are determined based on budgeted earnings before taxes, including our best estimate of permanent items that will affect the effective rate for the year. Management periodically reviews these rates with outside tax advisors and changes are made if material variances from expectations are identified.

We recognize deferred taxes for the expected future consequences of events that have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the book values and tax bases of particular assets and liabilities, using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We consider estimated future taxable income and ongoing prudent tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. We account for tax benefits when the item in question meets the more-likely-than-not (greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities) threshold.

New Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU intends to enhance comparability and transparency of other comprehensive income components. The guidance provides an option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income components as part of the statement of changes in shareowners’ equity. The provisions of this ASU will be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the adoption of this new ASU, but do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, accounting guidance was issued by FASB in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”. This guidance amends the requirements for goodwill impairment testing. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. We intend to adopt this new standard effective with our annual goodwill impairment testing date of October 30 for the year ending December 31, 2011.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We use derivative financial instruments primarily to reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and costs of certain raw materials used in the manufacturing process. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading

Table of Contents

purposes. As a matter of policy, all derivative positions are used to reduce risk by hedging underlying economic exposure. The derivatives we use are instruments with liquid markets.

Our consolidated earnings, which are reported in United States dollars, are subject to translation risks due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This risk is concentrated in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro; the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar; and the U.S. dollar and the Chinese yuan.

Our foreign subsidiaries transact most business, including certain intercompany transactions, in foreign currencies. Such transactions are principally purchases or sales of materials and are denominated in European currencies or the U.S. or Canadian dollar. We use foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage the risk related to intercompany purchases that occur during the course of a year and certain open foreign currency denominated commitments to sell products to second parties. For the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, unrealized income recorded in other (income) expense for the change in the fair value of such contracts was $0.9 million and $0.2 million of income, respectively. For the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, unrealized income recorded in other (income) expense for the change in the fair value of such contracts was $0.9 million and $0.7 million of income, respectively.

We have historically had a low exposure on the cost of our debt to changes in interest rates. Information about our long-term debt, including principal amounts and related interest rates, appears in Notes 4 and 9 of this report and in Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

We purchase significant amounts of bronze ingot, brass rod, cast iron, steel and plastic, which are utilized in manufacturing our many product lines. Our operating results can be adversely affected by changes in commodity prices if we are unable to pass on related price increases to our customers. We manage this risk by monitoring related market prices, working with our suppliers to achieve the maximum level of stability in their costs and related pricing, seeking alternative supply sources when necessary, purchasing forward commitments for raw materials, when available, implementing cost reduction programs, value engineering, and passing increases in costs on to our customers in the form of price increases.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures is also necessarily limited by the staff and other resources available to us and the geographic diversity of our operations. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended October 2, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with these rules, we will continue to review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal control over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item l. Legal Proceedings

As disclosed in Part I, Item 1, “Product Liability, Environmental and Other Litigation Matters” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, we are a party to certain litigation, have conducted an investigation regarding information that employees of CWV made payments to employees of state-owned agencies and whether such payments may violate FCPA, and are engaged in certain environmental remediation. On October 13, 2011, we entered into a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to resolve allegations concerning potential violations of the FCPA at CWV. Under the terms of the settlement, without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, we consented to entry of an administrative cease-and-desist order under the books and records and internal controls provisions of the FCPA. We have also agreed to pay to the SEC $3.6 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, and $200,000 in penalties. We anticipate that this settlement resolves all government investigations concerning CWV’s sales practices and potential FCPA violations. We recorded an estimated reserve of $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 and subsequently recorded a decrease of the reserve of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, which reflects the final settlement amount. There has been no material developments with respect to our environmental remediation proceedings during the first nine months ended October 2, 2011.
