SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
ADOPTION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | ADOPTION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. In February 2013, The FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends the presentation of accumulated other comprehensive income and clarifies how to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires footnote disclosures regarding the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income by component and the line items affected in the statements of earnings. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements other than disclosure. Additional information can be found in Note 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In January 2013, The FASB issued authoritative guidance requiring new asset and liability offsetting disclosures for derivatives, repurchase agreements and security lending transactions to the extent that they are offset in the financial statements or are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. We do not have any repurchase agreements and do not participate in securities lending transactions. Our derivative instruments are not offset in the financial statements. Accordingly, the adoption of this standard had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements other than disclosure. Additional information can be found in Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The Company computes taxes on income in accordance with the tax rules and regulations of the many taxing authorities where the income is earned. The income tax rates imposed by these taxing authorities may vary substantially. Taxable income may differ from pretax income for financial accounting purposes. To the extent that these differences create differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements, an appropriate provision for deferred income taxes is made. In its determination of which foreign earnings are permanently reinvested in foreign operations, the Company considers numerous factors, including the financial requirements of the U.S. parent company and those of its foreign subsidiaries, the U.S. funding needs for dividend payments and stock repurchases, and the tax consequences of remitting earnings to the U.S. From this analysis, current year repatriation decisions are made in an attempt to provide a proper mix of debt and shareholder capital both within the U.S. and for non-U.S. operations. The Company’s policy is to permanently reinvest its accumulated foreign earnings and only will make a distribution out of current year earnings to meet the cash needs at the parent company. As such, the Company does not provide for taxes on earnings that are deemed to be permanently reinvested. The effective tax rate for 2013 includes the tax cost of repatriating $76 million of current year earnings, all of which is expected to be repatriated in the first half of 2013. The Company provides a liability for the amount of tax benefits realized from uncertain tax positions. This liability is provided whenever the Company determines that a tax benefit will not meet a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition. See Note 13 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
