NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Summary of Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation and presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Snap-on Incorporated and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Snap-on” or “the company”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Snap-on’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 (“2012 year end”). The company’s 2013 fiscal third quarter ended on September 28, 2013; the 2012 fiscal third quarter ended on September 29, 2012.

Snap-on accounts for investments in unconsolidated affiliates where Snap-on has a greater than 20% but less than 50% ownership interest under the equity method of accounting. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $14.0 million as of September 28, 2013, and $13.5 million as of December 29, 2012, are included in “Other assets” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. No equity investment dividends were received in the first nine months of 2013 or 2012. In the normal course of business, the company may purchase products or services from unconsolidated affiliates; purchases from unconsolidated affiliates were $3.5 million and $2.7 million in the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively, and were $11.2 million and $10.8 million in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include the accounts of the company’s independent franchisees. Snap-on’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, and September 29, 2012, have been made. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the company’s derivative financial instruments is generally determined using quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities. The carrying value of the company’s non-derivative financial instruments either approximates fair value, due to their short-term nature, or fair value is based upon a discounted cash flow analysis or quoted market values. See Note 9 for further information on financial instruments.

New Accounting Standards

Disclosures Relating to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance in February 2013 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, which became effective for Snap-on on a prospective basis at the beginning of its 2013 fiscal year, 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 updated authoritative guidance did not have a significant impact on the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 16 for additional information.

SNAP-ON INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

The FASB issued updated authoritative guidance in July 2012 to amend its previous guidance on the annual and interim testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment; the guidance became effective for Snap-on at the beginning of its 2013 fiscal year. The guidance provides entities with the option of first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is more-likely-than-not less than the carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test would still be required. The company did not elect to perform a qualitative assessment in 2013. Annual impairment tests are performed by the company in the second quarter of each fiscal year. The adoption of this updated authoritative guidance had no impact on the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2: Acquisitions

On May 13, 2013, Snap-on acquired Challenger Lifts, Inc. (“Challenger”) for a preliminary cash purchase price of $38.2 million. The preliminary purchase price is subject to the finalization of income tax accounting for pre-acquisition tax periods that is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013. The preliminary purchase price was also subject to the finalization of a working capital adjustment that was concluded in the third quarter of 2013 and was not material.

Challenger, with 2012 sales of approximately $45 million, designs, manufactures and distributes a comprehensive line of vehicle lifts and accessories to a diverse customer base in the automotive repair sector. For segment reporting purposes, the results of operations and assets of Challenger have been included in the Repair Systems & Information Group since the date of acquisition. Pro forma financial information has not been presented as the net effects of the Challenger acquisition were neither significant nor material to Snap-on’s results of operations or financial position.

Note 3: Accounts Receivable

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable

Snap-on’s trade and other accounts receivable primarily arise from the sale of tools, diagnostics and equipment to a broad range of industrial and commercial customers and to Snap-on’s independent franchise van channel on a non-extended-term basis with payment terms generally ranging from 30 to 120 days.

The components of Snap-on’s trade and other accounts receivable as of September 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, are as follows:


(Amounts in millions)	September 28, 2013		December 29, 2012
Trade and other accounts receivable	$	538.2	$	516.9
Allowances for doubtful accounts		(16.3)		(19.0)

Total trade and other accounts receivable – net	$	521.9	$	497.9

Finance and Contract Receivables

Snap-on Credit LLC (“SOC”), the company’s financial services operation in the United States, originates extended-term finance and contract receivables on sales of Snap-on product sold through the U.S. franchisee and customer network and to Snap-on’s industrial and other customers; Snap-on’s foreign finance subsidiaries provide similar financing internationally. Interest income on finance and contract receivables is included in “Financial services revenue” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Snap-on’s finance receivables are comprised of extended-term installment contracts to both technicians and independent shop owners (i.e., franchisees’ customers) to enable them to purchase tools, diagnostics and equipment on an extended-term payment plan, generally with expected average payment terms of 34 months. Contract receivables, with payment terms of up to 10 years, are comprised of extended-term installment payment contracts to a broad base of industrial and other customers worldwide, including shop owners, both independents and national chains, for their purchase of tools, diagnostics and equipment. Contract receivables also include extended-term installment loans to franchisees to meet a number of financing needs including working capital loans, loans to enable new franchisees to fund the purchase of the franchise and van leases. Finance and contract receivables are generally secured by the underlying tools, diagnostics or equipment financed and, for installment loans to franchisees, other franchisee assets.

During both the nine months ended September 28, 2013, and the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, Snap-on did not have any significant purchases or sales of finance or contract receivables.

The components of Snap-on’s current finance and contract receivables as of September 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, are as follows:


(Amounts in millions)	September 28, 2013		December 29, 2012

Delinquency is the primary indicator of credit quality for finance and contract receivables. Receivable balances are considered delinquent when contractual payments become 30 days past due.

Finance receivables are generally placed on nonaccrual status (nonaccrual of interest and other fees) (i) when a customer is placed on repossession status; (ii) upon receipt of notification of bankruptcy; (iii) upon notification of the death of a customer; or (iv) in other instances in which management concludes collectability is not reasonably assured. Finance receivables that are considered nonperforming include receivables that are on nonaccrual status and receivables that are generally more than 90 days past due.

Contract receivables are generally placed on nonaccrual status (i) when a receivable is more than 90 days past due or at the point a customer’s account is placed on terminated status regardless of its delinquency status; (ii) upon notification of the death of a customer; or (iii) in other instances in which management concludes collectability is not reasonably assured. Contract receivables that are considered nonperforming include receivables that are on nonaccrual status and receivables that are generally more than 90 days past due.

The accrual of interest and other fees is resumed when the finance or contract receivable becomes contractually current and collection of all remaining contractual amounts due is reasonably assured. Finance and contract receivables are evaluated for impairment on a collective basis; however, in circumstances where the company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. A receivable is impaired when it is probable that all amounts related to the receivable will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the applicable agreement. Impaired receivables are covered by the company’s finance and contract allowances for doubtful accounts reserves and are charged-off against the reserves when appropriate. As of September 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, there were $13.8 million and $13.4 million, respectively, of impaired finance receivables, and $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of impaired contract receivables.

Snap-on completed its annual impairment testing of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the second quarter of 2013, the results of which did not result in any impairment. Significant and unanticipated changes in circumstances, such as declines in profitability and cash flow due to significant and long-term deterioration in macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, the loss of key customers, changes in technology or markets, significant changes in key personnel or litigation, a significant and sustained decrease in share price and/or other events, including effects from the sale or disposal of a reporting unit, could require a provision for impairment of goodwill and/or other intangible assets in a future period. As of September 28, 2013, the company had no accumulated impairment losses.

The weighted-average amortization periods related to other intangible assets are as follows:


	In Years
Customer relationships		16
Developed technology		5
Internally developed software		3
Patents		10
Trademarks		6
Other		39

Snap-on is amortizing its customer relationships on both an accelerated and straight-line basis over a 16 year weighted-average life; the remaining intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis. The weighted-average amortization period for all amortizable intangibles on a combined basis is 12 years.

The company’s customer relationships generally have contractual terms of three to five years and are typically renewed without significant cost to the company. The weighted-average 16 year life for customer relationships is based on the company’s historical renewal experience. Intangible asset renewal costs are expensed as incurred.

The aggregate amortization expense was $6.6 million and $19.4 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, respectively, and $6.6 million and $19.6 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2012, respectively. Based on current levels of amortizable intangible assets and estimated weighted-average useful lives, estimated annual amortization expense is expected to be $25.3 million in 2013, $22.2 million in 2014, $15.9 million in 2015, $12.4 million in 2016, $10.1 million in 2017 and $9.0 million in 2018.

Of the $1.7 million and $6.4 million of costs incurred during the respective three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, $1.7 million and $6.0 million, respectively, qualified for accrual treatment. Costs associated with exit and disposal activities in 2013 primarily related to headcount reductions from the ongoing optimization of the company’s cost structure in Europe and various other management and realignment actions. Costs associated with exit and disposal activities in 2012 primarily related to the settlement of a pension plan as a result of the 2011 closure of the company’s former Newmarket, Canada, facility, as well as other headcount reductions largely to improve the company’s cost structure in Europe. In the nine month period ended September 29, 2012, the Snap-on Tools Group incurred costs of $6.8 million (included in “Cost of goods sold” above) related to the Newmarket pension settlement.

The majority of the exit and disposal accrual as of September 28, 2013, is expected to be utilized in 2013.

Snap-on expects to fund the remaining cash requirements of its exit and disposal activities with available cash on hand, cash flows from operations and borrowings under the company’s existing credit facilities. The estimated costs for the exit and disposal activities were based on management’s best business judgment under prevailing circumstances.

Note 7: Income Taxes

Snap-on’s effective income tax rate on earnings attributable to Snap-on was 32.3% and 33.1% in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the nine month period ended September 28, 2013, Snap-on’s unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $2.4 million primarily due to the favorable resolution of a foreign tax audit.

Snap-on and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits may either be settled with taxing authorities or the statutes of limitations for such items may lapse within the next 12 months, causing Snap-on’s gross unrecognized tax benefits to decrease by a range of zero to $1.0 million. Over the next 12 months, Snap-on anticipates taking certain tax positions on various tax returns for which the related tax benefit does not meet the recognition threshold. Accordingly, Snap-on’s gross unrecognized tax benefits may increase by a range of zero to $0.8 million over the next 12 months for uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in future tax filings.

* Includes fair value adjustments related to interest rate swaps.

Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt of $117.7 million as of September 28, 2013, includes $100.0 million of 5.85% unsecured notes that mature on March 1, 2014 (the “2014 Notes”), and $17.7 million of other notes. As of 2012 year end, the 2014 Notes were included in “Long-term debt” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as their scheduled maturity was in excess of one year of the December 29, 2012 year-end balance sheet date. Notes payable as of 2012 year end totaled $5.2 million.

On September 27, 2013, Snap-on amended and restated its $500 million multi-currency revolving credit facility that was set to terminate on December 8, 2016, by entering into a five-year, $700 million multi-currency revolving credit facility that terminates on September 27, 2018 (the “Credit Facility”); no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility as of September 28, 2013. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at varying rates based on Snap-on’s then-current, long-term debt ratings. The Credit Facility’s financial covenant requires that Snap-on maintain, as of each fiscal quarter end, either (i) a ratio not greater than 0.60 to 1.00 of consolidated net debt (consolidated debt net of certain cash adjustments) to the sum of such consolidated net debt plus total equity and less accumulated other comprehensive income or loss; or (ii) a ratio not greater than 3.50 to 1.00 of such consolidated net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other adjustments for the preceding four fiscal quarters then ended. As of September 28, 2013, the company’s actual ratios of 0.31 and 1.41, respectively, were both within the permitted ranges set forth in this financial covenant.

Snap-on’s previous 364-day loan and servicing agreement, which allowed Snap-on to borrow up to $200 million (subject to borrowing base requirements) through the pledging of finance receivables under an asset-backed commercial paper conduit facility, expired at the end of its term on September 27, 2013, and was not renewed. At the time of its expiration, no amounts were outstanding under the loan and servicing agreement.

Snap-on’s Credit Facility and other debt agreements also contain certain usual and customary borrowing, affirmative, negative and maintenance covenants. As of September 28, 2013, Snap-on was in compliance with all covenants of its Credit Facility and debt agreements.

Note 9: Financial Instruments

Derivatives: All derivative instruments are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on whether the derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains or losses on derivative instruments recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“Accumulated OCI”) must be reclassified to earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying hedged item and the ineffective portion of all hedges must be recognized in earnings in the period that such portion is determined to be ineffective.

The criteria used to determine if hedge accounting treatment is appropriate are (i) the designation of the hedge to an underlying exposure; (ii) whether or not overall risk is being reduced; and (iii) if there is a correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the underlying hedged item. On the date a derivative contract is entered into, Snap-on designates the derivative as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or a natural hedging instrument whose change in fair value is recognized as an economic hedge against changes in the value of the hedged item. Snap-on does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

The company is exposed to global market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and therefore uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and stock-based deferred compensation risk.

Foreign Currency Risk Management: Snap-on has significant international operations and is subject to certain risks inherent with foreign operations that include currency fluctuations. Foreign currency exchange risk exists to the extent that Snap-on has payment obligations or receipts denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, including intercompany loans denominated in foreign currencies. To manage these exposures, Snap-on identifies naturally offsetting positions and then purchases hedging instruments to protect the residual net exposures. Snap-on manages most of these exposures on a consolidated basis, which allows for netting of certain exposures to take advantage of natural offsets. Foreign currency forward contracts (“foreign currency forwards”) are used to hedge the net exposures. Gains or losses on net foreign currency hedges are intended to offset losses or gains on the underlying net exposures in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. Snap-on’s foreign currency forwards are typically not designated as hedges. The fair value changes of these contracts are reported in earnings as foreign exchange gain or loss, which is included in “Other income (expense) – net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

At September 28, 2013, Snap-on had $202.6 million of net foreign currency forward buy contracts outstanding comprised of buy contracts including $93.5 million in euros, $63.5 million in Swedish kronor, $34.0 million in Australian dollars, $19.9 million in British pounds, $14.0 million in Singapore dollars, $8.0 million in Hong Kong dollars, $4.8 million in South Korean won, and $5.9 million in other currencies, and sell contracts comprised of $23.8 million in Canadian dollars, $13.0 million in Japanese yen, and $4.2 million in other currencies. At December 29, 2012, Snap-on had $199.0 million of net foreign currency forward buy contracts outstanding comprised of buy contracts including $90.0 million in euros, $74.9 million in Swedish kronor, $34.7 million in Australian dollars, $33.0 million in British pounds, $12.0 million in Singapore dollars, $7.0 million in Hong Kong dollars, $5.1 million in South Korean won, $2.5 million in Chilean pesos, and $3.5 million in other currencies, and sell contracts including $41.6 million in Canadian dollars, $11.1 million in Japanese yen, $3.5 million in Argentine pesos, $2.6 million in Turkish lira, and $4.9 million in other currencies.

Interest Rate Risk Management: Snap-on aims to control funding costs by managing the exposure created by the differing maturities and interest rate structures of Snap-on’s borrowings through the use of interest rate swap agreements. Treasury lock agreements are used from time to time to manage potential changes in interest rates in anticipation of the issuance or sale of certain financial instruments.

SNAP-ON INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

Interest Rate Swap Agreements: Snap-on enters into interest rate swap agreements (“interest rate swaps”) to manage risks associated with changing interest rates related to the company’s fixed rate borrowings. Interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges. The differentials paid or received on interest rate swaps are recognized as adjustments to “Interest expense” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in “Long-term debt” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, while any ineffective portion is recorded as an adjustment to “Interest expense” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding and designated as fair value hedges was $100.0 million as of both September 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012.

Treasury Lock Agreements: Snap-on enters into treasury lock agreements (“treasury locks”) from time to time to manage the potential change in interest rates in anticipation of issuing fixed rate debt. Treasury locks are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The effective differentials paid or received on treasury locks related to the anticipated issuance of fixed rate debt are recognized as adjustments to “Interest expense” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. There were no treasury locks outstanding as of September 28, 2013, or December 29, 2012, and no treasury locks were settled during either the first nine months of 2013 or 2012.

Stock-based Deferred Compensation Risk Management: Snap-on aims to manage market risk associated with the stock-based portion of its deferred compensation plans through the use of prepaid equity forwards (“equity forwards”). Equity forwards are used to aid in offsetting the potential mark-to-market effect on stock-based deferred compensation from changes in Snap-on’s stock price. Since stock-based deferred compensation liabilities increase as the company’s stock price rises and decrease as the company’s stock price declines, the equity forwards are intended to mitigate the potential impact on compensation expense that may result from such mark-to-market changes. As of September 28, 2013, Snap-on had equity forwards in place intended to manage market risk with respect to 110,800 shares of Snap-on common stock associated with its deferred compensation plans.

Fair Value Measurements: Snap-on has derivative assets and liabilities related to interest rate swaps, foreign currency forwards and equity forwards that are measured at Level 2 fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of derivative instruments included within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, are as follows:


		September 28, 2013				December 29, 2012

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between participants at the measurement date. Level 2 fair value measurements for derivative assets and liabilities are measured using quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities. Interest rate swaps are valued based on the six-month LIBOR swap rate for similar instruments. Foreign currency forwards are valued based on exchange rates quoted by domestic and foreign banks for similar instruments. Equity forwards are valued using a market approach based primarily on the company’s stock price at the reporting date. The company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at Level 1 or Level 3, nor did it implement any changes in its valuation techniques as of and for the nine month period ended September 28, 2013.

Snap-on’s foreign currency forwards are typically not designated as hedges for financial reporting purposes. The fair value changes of foreign currency forwards not designated as hedging instruments are reported in earnings as foreign exchange gain or loss in “Other income (expense) – net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The $8.0 million derivative gain recognized in the third quarter of 2013 was offset by transaction losses on net exposures of $8.9 million, resulting in a net foreign exchange loss of $0.9 million for the quarter. The $7.9 million derivative gain recognized in the third quarter of 2012 was offset by transaction losses on net exposures of $8.1 million, resulting in a net foreign exchange loss of $0.2 million for the quarter. The $2.1 million derivative gain recognized in the first nine months of 2013 was offset by transaction losses on net exposures of $5.5 million, resulting in a 2013 year-to-date net foreign exchange loss of $3.4 million. The $5.0 million derivative gain recognized in the first nine months of 2012 was offset by transaction losses on net exposures of $5.9 million, resulting in a 2012 year-to-date net foreign exchange loss of $0.9 million. The resulting net foreign exchange gains and losses are included in “Other income (expense) – net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See Note 15 for additional information on “Other income (expense) – net.”

Snap-on’s equity forwards are not designated as hedges for financial reporting purposes. The fair value changes of equity forwards are reported in “Operating expenses” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

As of September 28, 2013, the maximum maturity date of any fair value hedge was eight years. During the next 12 months, Snap-on expects to reclassify into earnings net gains from Accumulated OCI of approximately $0.2 million after tax at the time the underlying hedge transactions are realized.

See the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for additional information on changes in comprehensive income.

Counterparty Risk: Snap-on is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its various financial agreements, including its foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swap agreements and equity forward agreements. Snap-on does not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but monitors the credit standing of the counterparties and generally enters into agreements with financial institution counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. Snap-on does not anticipate non-performance by its counterparties, but cannot provide assurances.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The fair values of financial instruments that do not approximate the carrying values in the financial statements are as follows:


	September 28, 2013				December 29, 2012
(Amounts in millions)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Finance receivables – net	$	908.2	$	1,054.0	$	817.7	$	948.9

Long-term debt and notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt		978.8		1,090.0		975.6		1,126.7

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of financial instruments:

•

Finance and contract receivables include both short-term and long-term receivables. The fair value of finance and contract receivables was estimated, using Level 2 fair value measurements, based on a discounted cash flow analysis that was performed over the average life of the receivables using a current market discount rate of a similar term adjusted for credit quality.

•

Fair value of long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt was estimated, using Level 2 fair value measurements, based on quoted market values of Snap-on’s publicly traded senior debt. The carrying value of long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt includes adjustments related to fair value hedges. The fair value of notes payable approximates such instruments’ carrying value due to their short-term nature.

•

The fair value of all other financial instruments including cash equivalents, trade and other accounts receivable, accounts payable and other financial instruments approximates such instruments’ carrying value due to their short-term nature.

Note 12: Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock Plans

The 2011 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (the “2011 Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options, performance awards, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted stock awards (which may be designated as “restricted stock units” or “RSUs”). No further grants are being made under its predecessor, the 2001 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (the “2001 Plan”), although outstanding awards under the 2001 Plan will continue until exercised, vested, forfeited or expired. As of September 28, 2013, the 2011 Plan had 2,850,014 shares available for future grants. The company uses treasury stock to deliver shares under both the 2001 and 2011 Plans.

Net stock-based compensation expense was $9.4 million and $28.9 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, and $8.9 million and $25.0 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2012. Cash received from stock purchase and option plan exercises during the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, totaled $1.8 million and $27.9 million, respectively. Cash received from stock purchase and option plan exercises during the three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2012, totaled $17.8 million and $40.3 million, respectively. The tax benefit realized from the exercise of share-based payment arrangements was $0.7 million and $11.2 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, and $3.8 million and $8.8 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2012.

Stock Options

Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of a share of Snap-on’s common stock on the date of grant and have a contractual term of ten years. Stock option grants vest ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant.

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The company uses historical data regarding stock option exercise behaviors for different participating groups to estimate the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the company’s stock for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield is based on the company’s historical dividend payments. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve on the grant date for the expected term of the option.

* Weighted-average

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, and September 29, 2012, was $17.36 and $15.46, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised was $1.7 million and $12.7 million during the respective three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, and $10.1 million and $18.8 million during the respective three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2012. The fair value of stock options vested was $7.9 million and $5.7 million during the respective nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, and September 29, 2012.

As of September 28, 2013, there was $14.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option compensation arrangements that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Performance Awards

Performance awards, which are granted as performance share units and performance-based RSUs, are earned and expensed using the fair value of the award over a contractual term of three years based on the company’s performance. Vesting of the performance awards is dependent upon performance relative to pre-defined goals for revenue growth and return on net assets for the applicable performance period. For performance achieved above a certain level, the recipient may earn additional shares of stock, not to exceed 100% of the number of performance awards initially granted.

SNAP-ON INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

The performance share units have a three-year performance period based on the results of the consolidated financial metrics of the company. The performance-based RSUs have a one-year performance period based on the results of the consolidated financial metrics of the company followed by a two-year cliff vesting schedule.

The fair value of performance awards is calculated using the market value of a share of Snap-on’s common stock on the date of grant. The weighted-average grant date fair value of performance awards granted during the nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, and September 29, 2012, was $77.31 and $60.00, respectively. Performance share units of 213,459 shares and 53,990 shares were paid out during the respective nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, and September 29, 2012. Earned performance share units are generally paid out following the conclusion of the applicable performance period upon approval by the Organization and Executive Compensation Committee of the company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Based on the company’s 2012 performance, 95,047 RSUs granted in 2012 were earned; assuming continued employment, these RSUs will vest at the end of fiscal 2014. Based on the company’s 2011 performance, 159,970 RSUs granted in 2011 were earned; assuming continued employment, these RSUs will vest at the end of fiscal 2013. As a result of employee retirements, a total of 1,614 of the RSUs earned in 2012 and 2011 vested pursuant to the terms of the related award agreements and the underlying shares were paid out in the third quarter of 2013.

The changes to the company’s non-vested performance awards during the nine month period ended September 28, 2013, are as follows:


	Shares (in thousands)		Fair Value Price per Share ⁽*⁾
Non-vested performance awards at December 29, 2012		509	$	59.36

As of September 28, 2013, there was $15.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance awards that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”)

The company also issues cash-settled and stock-settled SARs to certain key non-U.S. employees. SARs have a contractual term of ten years and vest ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. SARs are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of a share of Snap-on’s common stock on the date of grant.

Cash-settled SARs provide for the cash payment of the excess of the fair market value of Snap-on’s common stock price on the date of exercise over the grant price. Cash-settled SARs have no effect on dilutive shares or shares outstanding as any appreciation of Snap-on’s common stock value over the grant price is paid in cash and not in common stock.

In 2013, the company began issuing stock-settled SARs that are accounted for as equity instruments and provide for the issuance of Snap-on common stock equal to the amount by which the company’s stock has appreciated over the exercise price. As stock-settled SARs vest, they will have an effect on dilutive shares and shares outstanding, as any appreciation of Snap-on’s common stock value over the exercise price will be settled in shares of common stock.

SNAP-ON INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

The fair value of cash-settled SARs is revalued (mark-to-market) each reporting period using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on Snap-on’s period-end stock price. The fair value of stock-settled SARs is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The company uses historical data regarding SARs exercise behaviors for different participating groups to estimate the expected term of the SARs granted based on the period of time that similar instruments granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the company’s stock for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the SARs. The expected dividend yield is based on the company’s historical dividend payments. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect as of the reporting date for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the SARs.

No cash-settled SARs were granted during either of the three month periods ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of cash-settled SARs granted during the nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, and September 29, 2012, using the Black-Scholes valuation model:

The total intrinsic value of cash-settled SARs exercised was $0.9 million and $3.6 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, respectively, and $1.0 million and $3.0 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2012, respectively. The total fair value of cash-settled SARs vested during the nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, and September 29, 2012, was $4.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards – Non-employee Directors

The company awarded a total of 13,437 shares of restricted stock to non-employee directors in the first nine months of 2013. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is expensed over the contractual term of the awards. All restrictions will lapse upon the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date, the recipient’s death or disability or in the event of a change in control, as defined in the 2011 Plan. If termination of the recipient’s service occurs prior to the first anniversary of the grant date for reasons other than death or disability, the shares of restricted stock would be forfeited, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

All Snap-on employees in the United States and Canada are eligible to participate in an employee stock purchase plan. The purchase price of the company’s common stock to participants is the lesser of the mean of the high and low price of the stock on the beginning date (May 15) or ending date (the following May 14) of each plan year. For the nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, issuances under this plan totaled 93,442 shares and 33,596 shares, respectively. As of September 28, 2013, shares reserved for issuance under this plan totaled 921,624 shares and Snap-on held participant contributions of approximately $1.0 million. Participants are able to withdraw from the plan and receive all contributions made during the plan year. Compensation expense for plan participants was $0.1 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, respectively, and $0.1 million for both the three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2012.

All franchisees in the United States and Canada are eligible to participate in a franchisee stock purchase plan. The purchase price of the company’s common stock to participants is the lesser of the mean of the high and low price of the stock on the beginning date (May 15) or ending date (the following May 14) of each plan year. For the nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, issuances under this plan totaled 105,406 shares and 48,819 shares, respectively. As of September 28, 2013, shares reserved for issuance under this plan totaled 304,839 shares and Snap-on held participant contributions of approximately $1.6 million. Participants are able to withdraw from the plan and receive all contributions made during the plan year. Expense for plan participants was $0.2 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, respectively, and $0.2 million for both the three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2012.

Note 13: Earnings Per Share

The shares used in the computation of the company’s basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 28, 2013		September 29, 2012		September 28, 2013		September 29, 2012
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		58,163,261		58,257,569		58,221,047		58,195,162
Dilutive effect of stock-based instruments		837,840		600,067		848,938		619,474

Weighted-average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution		59,001,101		58,857,636		59,069,985		58,814,636

The dilutive effect of the potential exercise of outstanding stock-based instruments to purchase common shares is calculated using the treasury stock method. There were no options outstanding that were anti-dilutive for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, and for the three month period ended September 29, 2012. Options to purchase 395,524 shares of Snap-on common stock for the nine month period ended September 29, 2012, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the common stock for the respective period and the effect on earnings per share would be anti-dilutive.

Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies

Snap-on provides product warranties for specific product lines and accrues for estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recorded. Snap-on calculates its accrual requirements based on historic warranty loss experience that is periodically adjusted for recent actual experience, including the timing of claims during the warranty period and actual costs incurred. Snap-on’s product warranty accrual activity for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, and September 29, 2012, is as follows:

Snap-on has credit risk exposure for certain SOC-originated contracts with recourse provisions related to franchisee van leases sold by SOC; as of September 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, $9.1 million and $13.3 million, respectively, of franchisee leases contain a recourse provision to Snap-on if the leases become more than 90 days past due. The asset value of the collateral underlying these recourse leases would serve to mitigate Snap-on’s loss in the event of default. The estimated fair value of the guarantees for all lease originations with recourse as of September 28, 2013, was not material.

Snap-on is involved in various legal matters that are being litigated and/or settled in the ordinary course of business. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these legal matters, management believes that the results of these legal matters will not have a material impact on Snap-on’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:

Statements in this document that are not historical facts, including statements that (i) are in the future tense; (ii) include the words “expects,” “plans,” “targets,” “estimates,” “believes,” “anticipates,” or similar words that reference Snap-on Incorporated (“Snap-on” or “the company”) or its management; (iii) are specifically identified as forward-looking; or (iv) describe Snap-on’s or management’s future outlook, plans, estimates, objectives or goals, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Snap-on cautions the reader that any forward-looking statements included in this document that are based upon assumptions and estimates were developed by management in good faith and are subject to risks, uncertainties or other factors that could cause (and in some cases have caused) actual results to differ materially from those described in any such statement. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results or regarded as a representation by the company or its management that the projected results will be achieved. For those forward-looking statements, Snap-on cautions the reader that numerous important factors, such as those listed below, as well as those factors discussed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, which are incorporated herein by reference, could affect the company’s actual results and could cause its actual consolidated results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, Snap-on.

These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, uncertainties related to estimates, statements, assumptions and projections generally, and the timing and progress with which Snap-on can attain value through its Snap-on Value Creation Processes, including its ability to realize efficiencies and savings from its rapid continuous improvement and other cost reduction initiatives, improve workforce productivity, implement reductions in workforce, achieve improvements in the company’s manufacturing footprint and greater efficiencies in its supply chain, and enhance machine maintenance, plant productivity and manufacturing line set-up and change-over practices, any or all of which could result in production inefficiencies, higher costs and/or lost revenues. These risks also include uncertainties related to Snap-on's capability to implement future strategies with respect to its existing businesses, its ability to refine its brand and franchise strategies, retain and attract franchisees, further enhance service and value to franchisees and thereby help improve their sales and profitability, introduce successful new products, successfully pursue, complete and integrate acquisitions, as well as its ability to withstand disruption arising from natural disasters, planned facility closures or other labor interruptions, the effects of external negative factors, including continuing uncertainty in world financial markets, weakness in certain areas of the global economy, and significant changes in the current competitive environment, inflation, interest rates and other monetary and market fluctuations, changes in tax rates and regulations, and the impact of energy and raw material supply and pricing, including steel and gasoline, the amount, rate and growth of Snap-on’s general and administrative expenses, including health care and postretirement costs (resulting from, among other matters, U.S. health care legislation and reforms), continuing and potentially increasing required contributions to pension and postretirement plans, the impacts of non-strategic business and/or product line rationalizations, and the effects on business as a result of new legislation, regulations or issues relating to the U.S. government budget and debt ceiling, risks associated with technological systems and protections, and other world or local events outside Snap-on’s control, including terrorist disruptions. Snap-on disclaims any responsibility to update any forward-looking statement provided in this document, except as required by law.

In addition, investors should be aware that generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) prescribe when a company should reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposures. Accordingly, results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when a reserve is established for a major contingency. Reported results, therefore, may appear to be volatile in certain accounting periods.

Percentage Disclosure: All income statement line item percentages below “Operating earnings from financial services” are calculated as a percentage of the sum of Net sales and Financial services revenue.

Net sales of $753.2 million in the third quarter of 2013 increased $41.6 million, or 5.8%, from 2012 levels, including $15.6 million of sales from the May 2013 acquisition of Challenger Lifts, Inc. (“Challenger”) and an unfavorable $7.3 million impact from foreign currency translation. Organic sales (excluding acquisition-related sales and foreign currency translation impacts) in the third quarter of 2013 increased $33.3 million, or 4.7%, from 2012 levels. Snap-on has significant international operations and is subject to certain risks inherent with foreign operations, including foreign currency translation fluctuations.

Gross profit of $364.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 increased $23.9 million as compared to $340.4 million last year. Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) of 48.4% in the third quarter of 2013 improved 60 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.0 percent) from 47.8% last year primarily due to savings from ongoing efficiency and productivity initiatives, including benefits from restructuring actions (collectively, “Rapid Continuous Improvement” or “RCI initiatives”). Gross profit in the third quarter of 2013 reflects $1.3 million of restructuring costs; gross profit in the third quarter of 2012 reflects $1.0 million of such costs.

Operating expenses of $253.0 million in the third quarter of 2013 increased $8.8 million as compared to $244.2 million last year. The operating expense margin (operating expenses as a percentage of net sales) of 33.6% improved 70 basis points from 34.3% last year primarily due to benefits from sales volume leverage, savings from ongoing RCI initiatives and lower restructuring costs. Restructuring costs included in operating expenses totaled $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to $1.3 million last year.

Operating earnings before financial services of $111.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 increased $15.1 million, or 15.7%, as compared to $96.2 million last year.

Operating earnings from financial services were $31.6 million on revenue of $45.1 million in the third quarter of 2013, as compared with operating earnings of $27.9 million on revenue of $40.5 million last year. The year-over-year increase in both revenue and operating earnings primarily reflects continued growth of the company’s financial services portfolio.

Operating earnings before financial services of $336.9 million in the first nine months of 2013 increased $38.6 million, or 12.9%, as compared to $298.3 million last year. As a percentage of sales, operating earnings before financial services of 14.9% in the first nine months of 2013 improved 120 basis points from 13.7% last year.

Financial services operating earnings of $92.7 million on revenue of $133.6 million in the first nine months of 2013 compares with operating earnings of $77.4 million on revenue of $118.4 million last year. The year-over-year increase in both revenue and operating earnings primarily reflects continued growth of the company’s financial services portfolio.

Operating earnings of $429.6 million in the first nine months of 2013 increased $53.9 million, or 14.3%, as compared with operating earnings of $375.7 million last year. As a percentage of revenues (net sales plus financial services revenue), operating earnings in the first nine months of 2013 improved 170 basis points to 18.0% from 16.3% last year.

Interest expense of $41.8 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared with interest expense of $41.4 million in the comparable prior-year period. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on Snap-on’s debt and credit facilities.

Other income (expense) – net in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012 was expense of $3.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and primarily includes hedging and currency exchange rate transaction gains and losses, and interest income. See Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on other income (expense) – net.

Snap-on’s effective income tax rate on earnings attributable to Snap-on was 32.3% in the first nine months of 2013 and 33.1% in the first nine months of 2012. See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on income taxes.

On May 13, 2013, Snap-on acquired Challenger for a preliminary cash purchase price of $38.2 million. The preliminary purchase price is subject to the finalization of income tax accounting for pre-acquisition tax periods that is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013. The preliminary purchase price was also subject to the finalization of a working capital adjustment that was concluded in the third quarter of 2013 and was not material.

Challenger, with full-year 2012 sales of approximately $45 million, designs, manufactures and distributes a comprehensive line of vehicle lifts and accessories to a diverse customer base in the automotive repair sector. The acquisition of Challenger is intended to further Snap-on’s progress along its coherent growth strategy of expanding with repair shop owners and managers. For segment reporting purposes, the results of operations and assets of Challenger have been included in the Repair Systems & Information Group since the date of acquisition. The net sales and operating earnings impacts of the Challenger acquisition were neither significant nor material to Snap-on’s third quarter or year-to-date 2013 results of operations or financial position.

Net earnings attributable to Snap-on in the first nine months of 2013 were $255.8 million, or $4.33 per diluted share. Net earnings attributable to Snap-on in the first nine months of 2012 were $221.5 million, or $3.77 per diluted share.

Exit and Disposal Activities

Snap-on recorded costs of $1.7 million and $6.4 million for exit and disposal activities in the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, respectively, as compared to costs of $2.3 million and $16.5 million for exit and disposal activities in the three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2012, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Snap-on’s growth has historically been funded by a combination of cash provided by operating activities and debt financing. Snap-on believes that its cash from operations and collections of finance receivables, coupled with its sources of borrowings and available cash on hand, are sufficient to fund its currently anticipated requirements for payments of interest and dividends, scheduled debt repayments, new receivables originated by our financial services businesses, capital expenditures, working capital, restructuring activities, the funding of pension plans, and funding for additional share repurchases and acquisitions, if any. Due to Snap-on’s credit rating over the years, external funds have been available at an acceptable cost. As of the close of business on October 11, 2013, Snap-on’s long-term debt and commercial paper were rated, respectively, Baa1 and P-2 by Moody’s Investors Service; A- and A-2 by Standard & Poor’s; and A- and F2 by Fitch Ratings. Snap-on believes that its current credit arrangements are sound and that the strength of its balance sheet affords the company the financial flexibility to respond to both internal growth opportunities and those available through acquisitions. However, Snap-on cannot provide any assurances of the availability of future financing or the terms on which it might be available, or that its debt ratings may not decrease.

The following discussion focuses on information included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of September 28, 2013, working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $1,057.4 million decreased $22.4 million from $1,079.8 million as of December 29, 2012 (fiscal 2012 year end).

The following represents the company’s working capital position as of September 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012:


(Amounts in millions)	September 28, 2013		December 29, 2012

Total working capital	$	1,057.4	$	1,079.8

Cash and cash equivalents of $182.5 million as of September 28, 2013, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $214.5 million at 2012 year end. The $32.0 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to (i) the funding of $482.4 million of new finance receivables; (ii) the repurchase of 782,000 shares of the company’s common stock for $67.5 million; (iii) dividend payments of $66.5 million; (iv) the acquisition of Challenger for a preliminary cash purchase price of $38.2 million; and (v) the funding of $50.7 million of capital expenditures. These decreases in cash and cash equivalents were largely offset by (i) $270.1 million of cash generated from operations; and (ii) $373.7 million of cash from collections of finance receivables.

SNAP-ON INCORPORATED

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(continued)

Of the $182.5 million of cash and cash equivalents as of September 28, 2013, $113.5 million was held outside of the United States. Snap-on considers these non-U.S. funds as permanently invested in its foreign operations to (i) provide adequate working capital; (ii) satisfy various regulatory requirements; and/or (iii) take advantage of business expansion opportunities as they arise; as such, the company does not presently expect to repatriate these funds to fund its U.S. operations or obligations. The repatriation of cash from certain foreign subsidiaries could have adverse net tax consequences on the company should Snap-on be required to pay and record U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on funds that were previously considered permanently invested. Alternatively, the repatriation of such cash from certain other foreign subsidiaries could result in favorable net tax consequences for the company. Snap-on periodically evaluates opportunities to repatriate certain foreign cash amounts to the extent that it does not incur additional unfavorable net tax consequences.

Trade and other accounts receivable – net of $521.9 million as of September 28, 2013, increased $24.0 million from 2012 year-end levels; excluding $4.1 million of currency translation impacts, trade and other accounts receivable – net increased $28.1 million, largely due to higher sales and receivables related to the May 2013 acquisition of Challenger. Days sales outstanding (trade and other accounts receivable – net as of the respective period end, divided by the respective trailing 12 months sales, times 360 days) was 62 days at September 28, 2013, and 61 days at 2012 year end.

The current portions of net finance and contract receivables of $440.5 million as of September 28, 2013, compared to $385.8 million at 2012 year end. The long-term portions of net finance and contract receivables of $752.2 million as of September 28, 2013, compared to $689.0 million at 2012 year end. The combined $117.9 million increase in net current and long-term finance and contract receivables over 2012 year-end levels is primarily due to continued growth of the company’s financial services portfolio; excluding $5.4 million of currency translation impacts, the combined increase for these receivables over 2012 year-end levels was $123.3 million.

Inventories of $440.3 million as of September 28, 2013, increased $36.1 million from 2012 year-end levels; excluding currency translation impacts of $5.8 million, inventories increased $41.9 million primarily to support continued higher customer demand and new product introductions, as well as inventories related to the Challenger acquisition. Inventory turns (trailing 12 months of cost of goods sold, divided by the average of the beginning and ending inventory balance for the trailing 12 months) were 3.7 and 3.9 turns, respectively, as of September 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012. Inventories accounted for using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method as of both September 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, approximated 60% of total inventories. All other inventories are accounted for using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. The company’s LIFO reserve was $72.2 million and $71.8 million as of September 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, respectively.

Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt of $117.7 million as of September 28, 2013, includes $100.0 million of 5.85% unsecured notes that mature on March 1, 2014 (the “2014 Notes”) and $17.7 million of other notes. As of 2012 year end, the 2014 Notes were included in “Long-term debt” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as their scheduled maturity was in excess of one year of the December 29, 2012 year-end balance sheet date. Notes payable as of 2012 year end totaled $5.2 million.

Accounts payable of $161.8 million as of September 28, 2013, increased $19.3 million from 2012 year-end levels primarily due to the timing of payments and accounts payable associated with the Challenger acquisition; currency translation impacts were not material.

Other accrued liabilities of $249.7 million as of September 28, 2013, increased $1.8 million from 2012 year-end levels; currency translation impacts were not material.

SNAP-ON INCORPORATED

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(continued)

Long-term debt of $861.1 million as of September 28, 2013, consisted of (i) $150 million of unsecured 5.50% notes that mature in 2017; (ii) $250 million of unsecured 4.25% notes that mature in 2018; (iii) $200 million of unsecured 6.70% notes that mature in 2019; (iv) $250 million of unsecured 6.125% notes that mature in 2021; and (v) $11.1 million of other long-term debt, including fair value adjustments related to interest rate swaps.

Snap-on believes that it has sufficient available cash and access to both committed and uncommitted credit facilities to cover its expected funding needs on both a short-term and long-term basis, including the repayment of the 2014 Notes. Snap-on manages its aggregate short-term borrowings so as not to exceed its availability under its revolving credit facility. If the need were to arise, Snap-on believes that it could access short-term debt markets, predominantly through commercial paper issuances and existing lines of credit, to fund its short-term requirements and to ensure near-term liquidity. Snap-on regularly monitors the credit and financial markets and, in the future, may take advantage of what it believes are favorable market conditions to issue long-term debt to further improve its liquidity and capital resources. Near term liquidity requirements for Snap-on include payments of interest and dividends, scheduled debt repayments, funding to support new receivables originated by our financial services businesses, capital expenditures, working capital, restructuring activities, the funding of pension plans, and funding for additional share repurchases and acquisitions, if any. Snap-on intends to make contributions of $10.2 million to its foreign pension plans and $1.3 million to its domestic pension plans in 2013, as required by law. In the first nine months of 2013, Snap-on made $16.0 million of cash contributions to its domestic pension plans that included (i) $15.0 million of discretionary contributions; and (ii) $1.0 million of required contributions. Depending on market and other conditions, Snap-on may elect to make additional discretionary cash contributions to its pension plans in 2013.

Snap-on’s long-term financing strategy is to maintain continuous access to the debt markets to accommodate its liquidity needs, including the potential use of commercial paper, securitizations and/or additional fixed-term debt.

SNAP-ON INCORPORATED

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(continued)

The following discussion focuses on information included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $270.1 million in the first nine months of 2013 and $226.4 million in the first nine months of 2012. The $43.7 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities in 2013 primarily reflects higher year-over-year net earnings and net changes in operating assets and liabilities. In the first nine months of 2013, Snap-on made $16.0 million of cash contributions to its domestic pension plans that included (i) $15.0 million of discretionary contributions; and (ii) $1.0 million of required contributions. In the first nine months of 2012, Snap-on made $61.0 million of cash contributions to its domestic pension plans that included (i) $42.7 million of discretionary contributions; and (ii) $18.3 million of required contributions.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities of $205.9 million in the first nine months of 2013 included additions to, and collections of, finance receivables of $482.4 million and $373.7 million, respectively. Net cash used by investing activities of $153.6 million in the first nine months of 2012 included additions to, and collections of, finance receivables of $426.1 million and $328.9 million, respectively. Finance receivables are comprised of extended-term installment contracts to technicians (i.e., franchisees’ customers) to enable them to purchase tools, diagnostics and equipment on an extended-term payment plan, generally with average payment terms of 34 months.

Net cash used by investing activities in the first nine months of 2013 also included $38.2 million for the May 13, 2013, acquisition of Challenger. The preliminary cash purchase price is subject to the finalization of income tax accounting for pre-acquisition tax periods that is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013. The preliminary purchase price was also subject to the finalization of a working capital adjustment that was concluded in the third quarter of 2013 and was not material.

Capital expenditures of $50.7 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $59.5 million in the first nine months of last year. Capital expenditures in both years included continued investments related to the company’s execution of its strategic Value Creation Processes around safety, quality, customer connection, innovation and Rapid Continuous Improvement.

Net cash used by investing activities in the first nine months of 2013 also included $8.7 million related to a prepaid equity forward transaction agreement with Citibank N.A. that is intended to reduce the impact of market risk associated with the stock-based portion of the company’s deferred compensation plans. As of September 28, 2013, Snap-on had prepaid equity forwards (“equity forwards”) in place intended to manage market risk with respect to 110,800 shares of Snap-on common stock associated with its deferred compensation plans. See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding equity forwards.

Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities was $95.1 million in the first nine months of 2013. Net cash used by financing activities was $82.1 million in the first nine months of 2012.

SNAP-ON INCORPORATED

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(continued)

Proceeds from stock purchase plans and stock option exercises totaled $27.9 million and $40.3 million in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Snap-on has undertaken stock repurchases from time to time to offset dilution created by shares issued for employee and franchisee stock purchase plans, stock options and other corporate purposes. In the first nine months of 2013, Snap-on repurchased 782,000 shares of its common stock for $67.5 million under its previously announced share repurchase programs. In the first nine months of 2012, Snap-on repurchased 967,000 shares of its common stock for $61.8 million under its previously announced share repurchase programs. As of September 28, 2013, Snap-on had remaining availability to repurchase up to an additional $188.9 million in common stock pursuant to its Board of Directors’ (“Board”) authorizations. The purchase of Snap-on common stock is at the company’s discretion, subject to prevailing financial and market conditions. Snap-on believes that its cash generated from operations, available cash on hand, and funds available from its credit facilities will be sufficient to fund the company’s share repurchases, if any, in 2013.

Snap-on has paid consecutive quarterly cash dividends, without interruption or reduction, since 1939. Cash dividends totaled $66.5 million and $59.4 million in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. On November 1, 2012, the Board increased the quarterly cash dividend by 11.8% to $0.38 per share ($1.52 per share per year). Snap-on believes that its cash generated from operations, available cash on hand, and funds available from its credit facilities will be sufficient to pay dividends in 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 28, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Snap-on’s disclosures of its critical accounting policies, which are contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012, have not materially changed since that report was filed.

Outlook

Snap-on expects to continue with the advancement of its strategic framework designed to enhance its mobile tool distribution network, expand in the vehicle repair garage, extend to critical industries and build in emerging markets. In pursuit of these initiatives, Snap-on anticipates that capital expenditures in 2013 will approximate $75 million. Snap-on also expects that its full year 2013 effective income tax rate will be comparable to its 2012 rate.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market, Credit and Economic Risks

Market risk is the potential economic loss that may result from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments. Snap-on is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Snap-on is also exposed to market risk associated with the stock-based portion of its deferred compensation plans. Snap-on monitors its exposure to these risks and attempts to manage the underlying economic exposures through the use of financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swap agreements, treasury lock agreements and equity forwards. Snap-on does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Snap-on’s broad-based business activities help to reduce the impact that volatility in any particular area or related areas may have on its operating earnings as a whole. Snap-on’s management takes an active role in the risk management process and has developed policies and procedures that require specific administrative and business functions to assist in the identification, assessment and control of various risks.

Foreign Currency Risk Management

Snap-on has significant international operations and is subject to certain risks inherent with foreign operations that include currency fluctuations. Foreign exchange risk exists to the extent that Snap-on has payment obligations or receipts denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, including intercompany loans denominated in foreign currencies. To manage these exposures, Snap-on identifies naturally offsetting positions and then purchases hedging instruments to protect the residual net exposures. See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on foreign currency risk management.

Interest Rate Risk Management

Snap-on aims to control funding costs by managing the exposure created by the differing maturities and interest rate structures of Snap-on’s assets and liabilities through the use of interest rate swap agreements. Treasury lock agreements are used from time to time to manage potential changes in interest rates in anticipation of the issuance or sale of certain financial instruments. See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on interest rate risk management.

Snap-on utilizes a Value-at-Risk (“VAR”) model to determine the potential one-day loss in the fair value of its interest rate and foreign exchange-sensitive financial instruments from adverse changes in market factors. The VAR model estimates were made assuming normal market conditions and a 95% confidence level. Snap-on’s computations are based on the inter-relationships among movements in various currencies and interest rates (variance/co-variance technique). These inter-relationships were determined by observing interest rate and foreign currency market changes over the preceding quarter.

The estimated maximum potential one-day loss in fair value, calculated using the VAR model, as of September 28, 2013, was $1.7 million on interest rate-sensitive financial instruments and $0.5 million on foreign currency-sensitive financial instruments. The VAR model is a risk management tool and does not purport to represent actual losses in fair value that will be incurred by Snap-on, nor does it consider the potential effect of favorable changes in market factors.

Stock-based Deferred Compensation Risk Management

Snap-on aims to manage market risk associated with the stock-based portion of its deferred compensation plans through the use of equity forwards. Equity forwards are used to aid in offsetting the potential mark-to-market effect on stock-based deferred compensation from changes in Snap-on’s stock price. Since stock-based deferred compensation liabilities increase as the company’s stock price rises and decrease as the company’s stock price declines, the equity forwards are intended to mitigate the potential impact on compensation expense that may result from such mark-to-market changes. See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on stock-based deferred compensation risk management.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the possibility of loss from a customer’s failure to make payments according to contract terms. Prior to granting credit, each customer is evaluated, taking into consideration the borrower’s financial condition, collateral, debt-servicing capacity, past payment experience, credit bureau information, and other financial and qualitative factors that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay. Credit risk is also monitored regularly through the use of internal proprietary, custom scoring models used to evaluate each transaction at the time of the application for credit and by periodically updating those credit scores for ongoing monitoring purposes. Snap-on evaluates credit quality through the use of an internal proprietary measuring system that provides a framework to analyze finance and contract receivables on the basis of risk factors of the individual obligor as well as transaction specific risk. The finance and contract receivables are typically monitored through an asset quality review process that closely monitors past due accounts and initiates a progressive collection action process when appropriate. In addition to its direct credit risk exposure, Snap-on also has credit risk exposure for certain SOC-originated contracts with recourse provisions related to franchisee van leases sold by SOC; as of September 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, $9.1 million and $13.3 million, respectively, of franchisee van leases contain a recourse provision to Snap-on if the leases become more than 90 days past due.

Counterparty Risk

Snap-on is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its various financial agreements, including its foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swap agreements and equity forwards. Snap-on does not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but monitors the credit standing of the counterparties and generally enters into agreements with financial institution counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. Snap-on does not anticipate non-performance by its counterparties, but cannot provide assurances.

Economic Risk

Economic risk is the possibility of loss resulting from economic instability in certain areas of the world. Snap-on continually monitors its exposure in these markets.

As a result of the above market, credit and economic risks, net income and revenues in any particular period may not be representative of full-year results and may vary significantly from year to year. Inflation has not had a significant impact on the company.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Snap-on maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the company and its consolidated subsidiaries is timely communicated to the officers who certify Snap-on’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board, as appropriate.

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 28, 2013. Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 28, 2013, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control

There has not been any change in the company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 28, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)).

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2: Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The following chart discloses information regarding the shares of Snap-on’s common stock repurchased by the company during the third quarter of fiscal 2013, all of which were purchased pursuant to the Board’s authorizations that the company has publicly announced. Snap-on has undertaken stock repurchases from time to time to offset dilution created by shares issued for employee and franchisee stock purchase plans, stock options and other corporate purposes, as well as to repurchase shares when the company believes market conditions are favorable. The repurchase of Snap-on common stock is at the company’s discretion, subject to prevailing financial and market conditions.

N/A: Not applicable

*	Subject to further adjustment pursuant to the 1996 Authorization described below, as of September 28, 2013, the approximate value of shares that may yet be purchased pursuant to the three outstanding Board authorizations discussed below is $188.9 million.

•

In 1996, the Board authorized the company to repurchase shares of the company’s common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions (“the 1996 Authorization”). The 1996 Authorization allows the repurchase of up to the number of shares issued or delivered from treasury from time to time under the various plans the company has in place that call for the issuance of the company’s common stock. Because the number of shares that are purchased pursuant to the 1996 Authorization will change from time to time as (i) the company issues shares under its various plans; and (ii) shares are repurchased pursuant to this authorization, the number of shares authorized to be repurchased will vary from time to time. The 1996 Authorization will expire when terminated by the Board. When calculating the approximate value of shares that the company may yet purchase under the 1996 Authorization, the company assumed a price of $94.09, $95.67 and $99.72 per share of common stock as of the end of the fiscal 2013 months ended July 27, 2013, August 24, 2013, and September 28, 2013, respectively.

•

In 1998, the Board authorized the repurchase of an aggregate of $100 million of the company’s common stock (“the 1998 Authorization”). The 1998 Authorization will expire when the aggregate repurchase price limit is met, unless terminated earlier by the Board.

•

In 1999, the Board authorized the repurchase of an aggregate of $50 million of the company’s common stock (“the 1999 Authorization”). The 1999 Authorization will expire when the aggregate repurchase price limit is met, unless terminated earlier by the Board.

The following chart discloses information regarding shares of Snap-on’s common stock that were sold during the third quarter of 2013 pursuant to a prepaid equity forward transaction agreement (the “Agreement”) with Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) that is intended to reduce the impact of market risk associated with the stock-based portion of the company’s deferred compensation plans. The company’s stock-based deferred compensation liabilities, which are impacted by changes in the company’s stock price, increase as the company’s stock price rises and decrease as the company’s stock price declines. Pursuant to the Agreement, Citibank may purchase or sell shares of the company’s common stock (for Citibank’s account) in the market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Agreement has no stated expiration date, but the parties expect that each transaction under the Agreement will have a term of approximately one year. The Agreement does not provide for Snap-on to purchase or repurchase shares.

The following chart discloses information regarding Citibank’s sales of Snap-on common stock during the third quarter of 2013 pursuant to the Agreement:
