Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations, cash flows, capital expenditures, the outcome of pending legal proceedings and claims, goals and objectives for future operations, including descriptions of our business strategies and purchase commitments from customers. These statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “should,” “will” and similar expressions. We base these statements on particular assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience, as well as our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors that we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider the information in this report, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. In light of these risks and uncertainties, we cannot assure you that the results and events contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this report will in fact transpire.

You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this report because they identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in any such forward-looking statements. Our operating results may fluctuate significantly and may not meet our expectations or those of securities analysts or investors. The price of our stock would likely decline if this occurs. Factors that may cause fluctuations in our operating results include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

our ability to maintain profitability in our infotainment segment if there are delays in our product launches which may give rise to significant penalties and increased engineering expense;

•

the loss of one or more significant customers, or the loss of a significant platform with an automotive customer;

•

fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly with respect to the value of the U.S. Dollar and the Euro;

•

our ability to successfully implement our global footprint initiative, including achieving cost reductions and other benefits in connection with the restructuring of our manufacturing, engineering, procurement and administrative organizations;

•

fluctuations in the price and supply of raw materials including, without limitation, petroleum, copper, steel, aluminum, synthetic resins, rare metals and rare-earth minerals, or shortages of materials, parts and components;

•

the inability of our suppliers to deliver products at the scheduled rate and disruptions arising in connection therewith;

•

our ability to attract and retain qualified senior management and to prepare and implement an appropriate succession plan for our critical organizational positions;

•

our failure to implement and maintain a comprehensive disaster recovery program;

•

our failure to comply with governmental rules and regulations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and U.S. export control laws, and the cost of complying with such laws;

•

our ability to maintain a competitive technological advantage through innovation and leading product designs; and

•

our failure to maintain the value of our brands and implementing a sufficient brand protection program.

Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. As a result, the foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For additional information regarding certain factors that may cause our actual results to differ from those expected or anticipated, see the information under the caption “Risk Factors” which is located in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement (except as required by law). This report also makes reference to our awarded business, which represents the estimated future lifetime net sales for all customers. Our future awarded business does not represent firm customer orders. We calculate our awarded business using various assumptions including global vehicle production forecasts, customer take rates for our products, revisions to product life cycle estimates and the impact of annual price reductions, among other factors. These assumptions are updated on an annual basis. We update our estimates quarterly by adding the value of new awards received and subtracting sales recorded during the quarter.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except per-share data and where otherwise noted)

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

References to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “company” and “Harman” refer to Harman International Industries, Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

Our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (our “2012 Annual Report”) and do not include all information and footnote disclosures included in our audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 due to seasonal, economic and other factors. Where necessary, information for prior periods has been reclassified to conform to the consolidated financial statement presentation in the current fiscal year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2012 Annual Report.

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Note 2 – New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Comprehensive Income: In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). The new guidance requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both cases, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. If presented in a single continuous statement, the entity is required to present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with the total of comprehensive income in that statement. If presented in the two-statement approach, the first statement, which is the statement of net income, should present components of net income and total net income followed consecutively by a second statement, which is the statement of other comprehensive income, that should present the components of other comprehensive income, total other comprehensive income and a total amount for comprehensive income. Regardless of the method used, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05” (“ASU 2011-12”). ASU 2011-12 temporarily deferred the requirement to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The guidance in ASU 2011-05, as amended, is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2012. The adoption of the new provisions did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Comprehensive Income: In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which amends Accounting Standards Codification 220, “Comprehensive Income.” The new guidance requires the disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and by net income line item. The disclosure may be provided either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements or in the notes. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. We will adopt the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Intangible Assets: In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment,” which allows companies to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test. The new guidance allows an entity the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, thus necessitating that it perform the quantitative impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if the financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. We will adopt the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Balance Sheet: In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires companies to disclose information about financial instruments that have been offset and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial condition. Companies will be required to provide both net (offset amounts) and gross information in the notes to the financial statements for relevant assets and liabilities that are offset. The new guidance is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We will adopt the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Note 3 – Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We reserve an estimated amount for accounts receivable that may not be collected. Methodologies for estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts are based primarily on specific identification of uncollectible accounts. Historical collection rates and customer credit worthiness are considered in determining specific reserves. At March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we had $14.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively, reserved for possible uncollectible accounts receivable.

Note 4 – Inventories

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are considered participating securities, as defined under GAAP, and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Certain options were outstanding and not included in the computation of diluted net earnings per share because the assumed exercise of these options would have been antidilutive. Options to purchase 1,245,003 and 981,637 shares of our common stock were outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would have been antidilutive. In addition, no restricted shares and restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they did not have an antidilutive impact.

Options to purchase 1,339,085 and 1,943,917 shares of our common stock were outstanding for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would have been antidilutive. In addition, 59,161 and 5,000 restricted shares and restricted stock units were outstanding during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they also would have been antidilutive.

In October 2012, we repaid our $400 million of 1.25 percent convertible senior notes due October 15, 2012 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”), and therefore the Convertible Senior Notes had no impact on our calculation of earnings per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, the conversion terms of the Convertible Senior Notes would have affected the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the price of our common stock exceeded the conversion price of the Convertible Senior Notes. The initial conversion price of the Convertible Senior Notes was approximately $104 per share, subject to adjustment in specified circumstances as described in the indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes, as amended (the “Indenture”). Upon conversion, a holder of the Convertible Senior Notes would have received an amount per $1,000 principal

amount of Convertible Senior Notes in cash equal to the lesser of $1,000 or the conversion value of the Convertible Senior Notes, determined in the manner set forth in the Indenture. If the conversion value exceeded $1,000, we would have delivered $1,000 in cash and, at our option, cash or common stock or a combination of cash and common stock for the conversion price in excess of $1,000. The conversion option was indexed to our common stock and was therefore classified as equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2012. The conversion option would not have resulted in an adjustment to net income in calculating diluted earnings per share. The dilutive effect of the conversion option was calculated using the treasury stock method. Therefore, conversion settlement shares would have been included in diluted shares outstanding if the price of our common stock exceeded the conversion price of the Convertible Senior Notes. Refer to Note 9 – Debt for more information.

Note 8 – Goodwill

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded $57.7 million of goodwill in our Professional segment associated with the acquisition of Martin. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded $57.7 million of goodwill in our Professional segment associated with the acquisition of Martin and $0.6 million of goodwill in our Infotainment segment associated with the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Interchain Solutions Private Limited (“Interchain”). During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded $0 and $79.8 million, respectively, of goodwill in our Lifestyle segment, associated with the acquisition of MWM Acoustics, LLC and certain related entities (“MWM Acoustics”). Refer to Note 22 – Acquisitions for more information.

We did not recognize any impairment charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Note 9 – Debt

Short Term Borrowings

At March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we had $0.9 and $0.2 million of short-term borrowings outstanding, respectively. At March 31, 2013, we maintained lines of credit of $46.5 million in the aggregate, primarily in Denmark, Hungary, China and India. At June 30, 2012, we maintained lines of credit of $17.8 million in the aggregate, in China, Hungary, the U.S., Austria and Brazil.

We classify our debt based on the contractual maturity dates of the underlying debt instruments. We defer costs associated with debt issuance over the applicable term of the debt. These costs are amortized to Interest expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

New Credit Agreement

On October 10, 2012, we and Harman Holding GmbH & Co. KG (“Harman KG”), entered into a Multi-Currency Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with a group of banks. The New Credit Agreement provides for (i) a five-year unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) in the amount of $750 million (the “Aggregate Revolving Commitment”) with availability in currencies other than the United States Dollar of up to $550 million and (ii) a five-year unsecured United States Dollar term loan facility (the “Term Facility” and collectively with the New Revolving Credit Facility, the “Facilities”) in the amount of $300 million (the “Aggregate Term Commitment” and collectively with the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the “Aggregate Commitment”). Up to $60 million of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment will be available for letters of credit. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the New Credit Agreement, the Aggregate Commitment may be increased by up to $250 million. We may select interest rates for the Facilities equal to (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin, which in each case is determined based on our credit rating. We are obligated to pay a facility fee on the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, whether drawn or undrawn, which is determined based on our credit rating. Any proceeds from borrowings under the Facilities may be used for general corporate purposes.

The New Credit Agreement includes certain financial condition covenants, including covenants that do not permit us to allow (i) our ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense to be less than 3.5:1.0 or (ii) our ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA to exceed 3.5:1.0, or following certain acquisitions, 4.0:1.0, each calculated as of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter on a rolling four-quarter basis. The terms “consolidated EBITDA,” “consolidated cash interest expense,” and “consolidated total debt” are defined in the New Credit Agreement.

The New Credit Agreement also contains certain negative covenants that limit, among other things, our ability to pay dividends, permit certain of our subsidiaries to incur debt, incur liens, make fundamental changes, sell assets, undertake transactions with affiliates and undertake sale and leaseback transactions. The Facilities are subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including failure to make timely payments, breaches of representations or covenants, or a change of control, as such term is defined in the New Credit Agreement.

On October 10, 2012, in connection with the execution of the New Credit Agreement, we, Harman KG, and certain of our subsidiaries, entered into a guarantee agreement (the “New Guarantee Agreement”), that provides, among other things, that the obligations under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us and each of the subsidiary guarantors named therein.

Upon the signing of the New Credit Agreement, we voluntarily terminated the Multi-Currency Credit Agreement, entered into on December 1, 2010, as amended on December 15, 2011 and July 2, 2012 (the “Credit Agreement”), as well as the guarantee and collateral agreement entered into in connection with the Credit Agreement. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of October 10, 2012, and no early termination penalties were incurred by us as a result of the termination of the Credit Agreement and all of the approximately $8.7 million of letters of credit that were previously outstanding under the Credit Agreement were deemed to be issued and outstanding under the New Credit Agreement.

On October 10, 2012, we borrowed $300 million under the Term Facility to finance, in part, the repayment of all the outstanding $400 million principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. See “Convertible Senior Notes” below for additional information.

At March 31, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings and approximately $6.8 million of outstanding letters of credit under the New Revolving Credit Facility and $292.5 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Facility, of which $30.0 million is included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as Current portion of long-term debt and $262.5 million is classified as Long-term debt. At March 31, 2013, unused available credit under the New Revolving Credit Facility was $743.2 million. In connection with the New Credit Agreement, we incurred $6.1 million of fees and other expenses which are included within Other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2013. These costs will be amortized over the term of the New Credit Agreement to Interest expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income on a straight-line basis. In addition, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, we wrote off $0 and $1.1 million of debt issuance costs, respectively, to Interest expense, net, associated with the Credit Agreement, which represented the portion of these costs that were attributed to the Credit Agreement.

At March 31, 2013, long-term debt maturing in each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter is as follows:


2013	$	7,500
2014		30,469
2015		35,625
2016		43,125
2017		135,000
Thereafter		41,250

Total	$	292,969

If we do not meet the forecast in our budgets, we could violate our debt covenants and, absent a waiver from our lenders or an amendment to the New Credit Agreement, we could be in default under the New Credit Agreement. As a result, our debt under the New Credit Agreement could become due, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all the financial covenants of the New Credit Agreement.

Convertible Senior Notes

At March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we had $0 and $400 million of Convertible Senior Notes outstanding, which were originally issued on October 23, 2007 (the “Issuance Date”) and were due on October 15, 2012. The Convertible Senior Notes were issued at par and we paid interest at a rate of 1.25 percent per annum on a semiannual basis. On October 15, 2012, the maturity date for the Convertible Senior Notes, we repaid all of the outstanding $400 million principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes and accrued and unpaid interest thereon held by affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (“KKR”) and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners (“GSCP”) and other investors. The repayment of principal was funded by $300 million of borrowings under the Term Facility and $100 million of cash on hand.

There was no interest expense associated with the Convertible Senior Notes in the three months ended March 31, 2013, as they were no longer outstanding. Total interest expense related to the Convertible Senior Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2012 includes $1.3 million of contractual cash interest expense, an additional $4.1 million of noncash interest expense, related to the amortization of the discount and $0.2 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. Total interest expense related to the Convertible Senior Notes for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 includes $1.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of contractual cash interest expense, an additional $5.0 million and $12.5 million of noncash interest expense, respectively, related to the amortization of the discount, and $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.

Registration Rights Agreement

On October 23, 2007, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) requiring us to register the Convertible Senior Notes and the shares contingently issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes. On October 23, 2008, we filed an automatically effective registration statement with the SEC to meet this requirement. We were required to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (a) such time as the Convertible Senior Notes and the shares contingently issuable under the Convertible Senior Notes (1) were sold under an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, (2) were freely transferable under Rule 144 more than one year following October 23, 2007, or (3) cease to be outstanding, and (b) five years and three months following October 23, 2007.

On October 21, 2011, we entered into an Amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement with the holders of the Convertible Senior Notes, which provided for the postponement of our obligation to file a new registration statement covering the Convertible Senior Notes until such time as one of the holders of the Convertible Senior Notes demanded that we file a registration statement. Upon the receipt of such a demand, we would have seven business days to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the Convertible Senior Notes. On October 15, 2012, the Registration Rights Agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms upon the repayment of all outstanding principal and interest related to the Convertible Senior Notes.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is based on an estimated annual tax rate for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. Income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was a $2.2 million expense and a $119.1 million benefit, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was 5.9 percent and (222.5) percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to same period in the prior year was primarily due to the release in the valuation allowance realized during the three months ended March 31, 2012, the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. research and experimental tax credit that was signed into law on January 2, 2013 and the mix of income in certain key foreign jurisdictions.

Income tax expense (benefit) for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was a $34.2 million expense and an $81.5 million benefit, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was 20.0 percent and (41.0) percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to same period in the prior year was primarily due to the release in the valuation allowance realized during the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. research and experimental tax credit that was signed into law on January 2, 2013 and the mix of income in certain key foreign jurisdictions.

As of March 31, 2013, unrecognized tax benefits and the related interest were $34.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively; all of which would affect the tax rate if recognized. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 we recorded tax reserves on uncertain tax positions in the amount of $0.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 we settled an uncertain tax provision that resulted in a $1.7 million reduction in our tax reserves. This reduction had no impact on our effective tax rate. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded additional interest expense on uncertain tax positions of $0.0 and $0.5 million, respectively.

Note 11 – Shareholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

As of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we had no shares of preferred stock outstanding. We are authorized to issue 5 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value.

Common Stock

We have 200 million authorized shares of common stock, $0.01 par value. At March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we had 96,949,433 and 96,132,542 shares issued; 28,992,092 and 28,846,226 shares in treasury stock and 67,957,341 and 67,286,316 shares outstanding (net of treasury stock), respectively.

Share Buy-Back Program

On October 26, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our common stock (the “Buyback Program”). The Buyback Program allows us to purchase shares of our common stock in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions, through October 25, 2012. We entered into an agreement with an external broker, which provided the structure under which the program may be facilitated which expired on October 25, 2012. On October 23, 2012, the Board of Directors approved an extension of the Buyback Program through October 25, 2013. The Buyback Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We will determine the timing and the amount of any repurchases based on an evaluation of market conditions, share price and other factors. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we did not repurchase any shares. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013, we repurchased 145,866 shares at a cost of $5.4 million under the Buyback Program for a total buyback of 3,392,275 shares at a cost of $129.3 million.

These securities are recorded at fair value with realized gains and losses recorded in income and unrealized gains and losses recorded in AOCI, net of taxes.

Note 12 – Share-Based Compensation

On December 7, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), our shareholders approved the 2012 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which is effective through December 7, 2021. As of the Effective Date, no further grants may be granted under our former plan, the Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2002 Plan” and together with the 2012 Plan, the “Plans”). There were initially 4,400,000 shares available for grant under the 2012 Plan. The 2012 Plan provides for two types of awards: (1) a full value grant, as defined in the 2012 Plan, under which one award shall reduce the shares available for grant under the 2012 Plan by 1.71 shares, and (2) an option or stock appreciation right grant, under which one award shall reduce the shares available for grant under the 2012 Plan by one share. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013, 522,775 options to purchase shares of our

common stock, 558,661 stock-settled restricted stock units, 970 cash-settled restricted stock units and 7,281 cash-settled stock appreciation rights were granted under the 2012 Plan. As of March 31, 2013, there were 3,191,713 shares available for grant under the 2012 Plan.

Prior to the Effective Date, we had one share-based compensation plan with shares available for grants, the 2002 Plan. On December 8, 2010, we amended the 2002 Plan to increase the number of shares available under the 2002 Plan for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units by 1,100,000 to an aggregate amount not to exceed 7,860,000 shares of our common stock. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013, there were no options to purchase shares of our common stock or restricted stock units granted under the 2002 Plan.

Share-based compensation expense, net was $2.1 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was $12.3 million and $13.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for share-based compensation arrangements was $0.1 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was $2.7 million and $3.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Fair Value Determination

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which uses the assumptions noted in the following table.


	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2012
Expected volatility		41.8% - 59.3	%		48.8% - 66.2	%
Weighted-average volatility		49.9	%		59.1	%
Expected annual dividend	$	0.60		$	0.30
Expected term (in years)		2.32 - 4.49			1.70 - 5.54
Risk-free rate		0.2% - 0.7	%		0.2% - 1.0	%

Groups of option holders (directors, executives and non-executives) that have similar historical behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. Expected volatilities are based on historical closing prices of our common stock over the expected option term.

We use historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted is derived using the option valuation model and represents the estimated period of time from the date of grant that the option is expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Stock Option Activity

A summary of option activity under the Plans as of March 31, 2013 and changes during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 is presented below:


	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at June 30, 2012		2,410,718		$	54.71		6.42	$	9,359
Granted		522,775			47.20
Exercised		(511,572	)		32.90
Forfeited or expired		(168,102	)		69.73

Outstanding at March 31, 2013		2,253,819		$	56.80		6.53	$	9,301

Exercisable at March 31, 2013		1,287,425		$	68.11		4.81	$	5,091

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $14.22 and $19.71, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $15.80 and $14.30, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $7.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively.

Modification of Certain Stock Option Awards

Prior to fiscal year 2011, certain of the award agreements under the 2002 Plan stated that vested options not exercised were forfeited upon termination of employment for any reason other than death or disability. However, such award agreements provided that the Compensation and Option Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation and Option Committee”) could extend the time period to exercise vested options 90 days beyond the employment termination date for certain employees. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Compensation and Option Committee used this authority. This action represented a modification of the terms or conditions of an equity award and therefore was accounted for as an exchange of the original award for a new award. Incremental share-based compensation cost for the excess of the fair value of the new award over the fair value of the original award was immaterial.

Restricted Stock Awards

A summary of the status of our nonvested restricted stock as of March 31, 2013 and changes during the nine months ended March 31, 2013, is presented below:


	Shares			Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at June 30, 2012		3,000		$	116.65
Vested		(3,000	)		116.65

Nonvested at March 31, 2013		0		$	0.00

As of March 31, 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the 2002 Plan and no weighted average recognition period. At March 31, 2013, no shares of restricted stock were outstanding which were granted outside of the 2002 Plan.

Restricted Stock Units

In the nine months ended March 31, 2013, we granted 97,733 restricted stock units with earnings per share (“EPS”) performance conditions, 97,733 restricted stock units with return on invested capital (“ROIC”) performance conditions and 97,733 restricted stock units with market conditions, under the 2012 Plan. The restricted stock units with EPS performance conditions cliff vest three years from the date of grant based on the achievement of certain cumulative EPS levels from fiscal years 2013 through 2015. The restricted stock units with ROIC conditions cliff vest three years from the date of grant based on the achievement of a certain average ROIC level over fiscal years 2013 through 2015. The restricted stock units with market conditions cliff vest three years from the date of grant based on a comparison of our total shareholder return (“TSR”) to the TSR of a selected peer group of publicly listed multinational companies. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock units with market conditions of $3.7 million was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation expense, for both the restricted stock units with performance conditions and the restricted stock units with market conditions, is recognized ratably over the three-year vesting period based on the grant date fair value and our assessment of the probability that the applicable targets will be met for awards with performance conditions, which is reassessed each reporting period.

In the nine months ended March 31, 2012, we granted 118,546 restricted stock units with EPS performance conditions, 118,546 restricted stock units with ROIC performance conditions and 118,546 restricted stock units with market conditions, under the 2002 Plan. The restricted stock units with EPS performance conditions cliff vest three years from the date of grant based on the achievement of certain cumulative EPS levels from fiscal years 2012 through 2014. The restricted stock units with ROIC conditions cliff vest three years from the date of grant based on the achievement of a certain ROIC level in fiscal year 2014. The restricted stock units with market conditions cliff vest three years from the date of grant based on a comparison of our TSR to the TSR of a selected peer group of publicly listed multinational companies. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock units with market conditions of $3.3 million was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation expense, for both the restricted stock units with performance conditions and the restricted stock units with market conditions, is recognized ratably over the three-year vesting period based on the grant date fair value and our assessment of the probability that the applicable targets will be met for awards with performance conditions, which is reassessed each reporting period.

In the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we granted 191,721 restricted stock units with EPS performance conditions and 191,715 restricted stock units with market conditions, under the 2002 Plan. The restricted stock units with EPS performance conditions cliff vest three years from the date of grant based on the attainment of a certain EPS level in fiscal year 2013. The restricted stock units with market conditions cliff vest three years from the date of grant based on a comparison of our TSR to the TSR of a selected peer group of publicly listed multinational companies. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock units with market conditions of $5.2 million was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation expense, for both the restricted stock units with performance conditions and the restricted stock units with market conditions, is recognized ratably over the three-year vesting period based on the grant date fair value and our assessment of the probability that the applicable targets will be met for awards with performance conditions, which is reassessed each reporting period.

We granted 380,400 restricted stock units with performance conditions in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 under the 2002 Plan. These restricted stock units cliff vested in September 2012. Compensation expense was recognized ratably over the three-year vesting period based on grant date fair value and our assessment of the probability that the performance targets would be met. Approximately 39.8 percent of the restricted stock units vested based on the actual attainment of certain targets.

In the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we also granted 243,622 and 281,303 time vested restricted stock units, without performance or market conditions, respectively, under the Plans that vest three years from the date of grant and 21,840 and 24,400 time vested restricted stock units that vest ratably over the three-year vesting period.

In the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, we granted 970 and 1,150 cash-settled restricted stock units, respectively, under the 2012 Plan. These restricted stock units are accounted for as liability awards and are recorded at the fair value at the end of the reporting period in accordance with their vesting schedules. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013, none of these restricted stock units were settled. At March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, 2,120 and 1,150 cash-settled restricted stock units were outstanding, respectively.

In January and September 2008, we granted 34,608 and 28,344 cash-settled restricted stock units, respectively, outside the 2002 Plan. These restricted stock units are accounted for as liability awards and are recorded at the fair value at the end of the reporting period in accordance with their vesting schedules. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 1,608 of these restricted stock units were settled in each period, at a cost of $0.1 million in each period. At March 31, 2013, and June 30, 2012, 0 and 1,608 cash-settled restricted stock units were outstanding, respectively.

Note 13 – Derivatives

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which could affect our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these risks through our regular operating and financial activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. These derivative instruments are utilized to hedge economic exposures, as well as to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. We enter into limited types of derivative contracts, including foreign currency spot, forward and option contracts and an interest rate swap, to manage foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Our primary foreign currency exposure is the Euro. The fair market values of all our derivative contracts change with fluctuations in interest rates and currency rates and are designed so that any changes in their values are offset by changes in the values of the underlying exposures. Derivative financial instruments are held solely as risk management tools and not for trading or speculative purposes.

We record all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain of these derivative contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges, whereby gains and losses are reported within AOCI in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, until the underlying transaction occurs, at which point they are reported in earnings as gains and losses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Certain of our derivatives, for which hedge accounting is not applied, are effective as economic hedges. These derivative contracts are required to be recognized each period at fair value, with gains and losses reported in earnings in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and therefore do result in some level of earnings volatility. The level of volatility will vary with the type and amount of derivative hedges outstanding, as well as fluctuations in the currency and interest rate markets during the period. The related cash flow impacts of all our derivative activities are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.

Derivatives, by their nature, involve varying degrees of market and credit risk. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange and interest rate movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities being hedged. We do not believe there is significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated with these instruments because these transactions are executed with a diversified group of major financial institutions. Furthermore, our policy is to contract only with counterparties having a minimum investment grade or better credit rating. Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposure to such counterparties.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

We use foreign exchange contracts to hedge the price risk associated with foreign denominated forecasted purchases of materials used in our manufacturing process and to manage currency risk associated with operating costs in certain operating units, including foreign currency denominated intercompany loans and other foreign currency denominated assets. These contracts generally mature in one year or less. The majority of these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.

At March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts, including forward and option contracts, which are summarized below:

Cash Flow Hedges

We designate a portion of our foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of foreign currency denominated purchases. As of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we had $487.5 million and $638.3 million of forward contracts maturing through June 2014 and June 2013, respectively. These contracts are recorded at fair value in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The changes in fair value for these contracts on a spot to spot basis are reported in AOCI, and are reclassified to either Cost of sales or Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”), depending on the nature of the underlying asset or liability that is being hedged, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, in the period or periods during which the underlying transaction occurs. If it becomes apparent that an underlying forecasted transaction will not occur, the amount recorded in AOCI related to the hedge is reclassified to Foreign exchange losses, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the then-current period. Amounts relating to such reclassifications were immaterial in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged items because the amounts and the maturities of the derivatives approximate those of the forecasted exposures. Any ineffective portion of the derivative is recognized in the current period in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, in the same line item in which the foreign currency gain or loss on the underlying hedged transaction was recorded. No amount of ineffectiveness was recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. All components of each derivative’s gain or loss, with the exception of forward points (see below), were included in the assessment of hedge ineffectiveness. At March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the fair value of these contracts was a net asset of $16.0 million and net asset of $29.8 million, respectively. The amount associated with these hedges that is expected to be reclassified from AOCI to earnings within the next 12 months is a gain of $12.8 million.

We elected to exclude forward points from the effectiveness assessment. At the end of the reporting period, we calculate the excluded amount, which is the fair value relating to the change in forward points that is recorded in current earnings as Foreign exchange losses, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized $0.2 million and $1.4 million of net gains, respectively, related to the change in forward points. For the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized $1.6 million of net gains and $4.0 million of net losses, respectively, related to the change in forward points.

Effective July 1, 2011, we changed the functional currency of two of our foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. Dollar to reflect a change in the currency in which such subsidiaries primarily generate and expend cash. In addition, we recognized approximately zero and $1.4 million as Foreign exchange losses, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, due to the revaluation of certain derivative instruments held at these subsidiaries because we did not meet the requisite documentation requirements to attain hedge accounting treatment. As of January 1, 2012, the documentation was amended and hedge accounting treatment was achieved going forward.

Economic Hedges

When hedge accounting is not applied to derivative contracts, or after former cash flow hedges have been de-designated as balance sheet hedges, we recognize the gain or loss on the associated contracts directly in current period earnings in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, as either Foreign exchange losses, net or Cost of sales according to the underlying exposure. As of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we had $362.2 million and $154.8 million, respectively, of forward contracts maturing through October 2013 and August 2012, respectively, in various currencies to hedge foreign currency denominated intercompany loans and other foreign currency denominated assets. At March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the fair value of these contracts was a liability of $2.1 million and an asset of $8.8 million, respectively. Adjustments to the carrying value of the foreign currency forward contracts offset the gains and losses on the underlying loans and other foreign denominated assets in other Foreign exchange losses, net.

Interest Rate Risk Management

We have one interest rate swap contract with a notional amount of $19.7 million and $20.3 million at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, in order to manage our interest rate exposure and effectively convert interest on an operating lease from a variable rate to a fixed rate. The objective of the swap is to offset changes in rent expenses caused by interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate swap contract is designated as a cash flow hedge. At the end of each reporting period, the discounted fair value of the swap contract is calculated and recorded in AOCI and reclassified to rent expense within SG&A in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, in the then current period. If the hedge is determined to be ineffective, the ineffective portion will be reclassified from AOCI and recorded as rent expense within SG&A. We recognized an immaterial amount of ineffectiveness in each of the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. All components of the derivatives were included in the assessment of the hedges’ effectiveness. The amount associated with the swap contract that is expected to be recorded as rent expense in the next 12 months is a loss of $0.4 million.

Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value instruments, fair value is defined as the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and we consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Under fair value accounting guidance, there is a three-tier fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels are defined as follows:


Level 1:		Observable inputs, such as unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for the identical asset or liability.
Level 2:		Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3:		Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions in measuring the asset or liability at fair value.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, fair value is the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets and liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data, and in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date.

The following tables provide the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis and the losses recorded during the periods presented:


	Fair Value at March 31, 2013								Fair Value at June 30, 2012
Description	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3
Assets/(Liabilities):

Description of Liability	2013		2012		2013			2012
Contingent Consideration	$	0	$	0	$	(12,500	)	$	0

The following describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

Short-Term Investments and Available-for-Sale Securities: Short-term investments and available-for-sale securities are classified as Level 1 as the fair value was determined from market quotes obtained from financial institutions in active markets.

Foreign Exchange Contracts: We use foreign exchange contracts to hedge market risks relating to possible adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our foreign exchange contracts were measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs. Such inputs include foreign currency exchange spot and forward rates for similar transactions in actively quoted markets.

Interest Rate Swap: We use an interest rate swap to hedge market risk relating to possible adverse changes in interest rates. We have elected to use the income approach to value our interest rate swap contract, which uses observable Level 2 inputs at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount (discounted). Level 2 inputs for the swap contract valuation are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (specifically futures contracts on LIBOR, for the first two years) and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR cash and swap rates) at commonly quoted intervals, and credit risk. These key inputs, including the LIBOR cash rates for very short-term, futures rates for up to two years, and LIBOR swap rates beyond the derivative maturity are used to construct the swap yield curve and discount the future cash flows to present value at the measurement date. As the interest rate swap contract is a derivative asset, a credit default swap basis available at commonly quoted intervals has been collected from Bloomberg and applied to all cash flows. If the interest rate swap contract was determined to be a derivative liability, we would be required to reflect potential credit risk to lenders using a borrowing rate specific to our company. See Note 13 – Derivatives for more information regarding our derivative financial instruments.

Pension Assets: Our pension assets have been valued using Level 1 inputs as quoted prices in an active market exist for these assets.

Contingent Consideration: We used a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach (a form of the income approach) in determining the original fair value of the contingent consideration of $22.1 million related to the acquisition of MWM Acoustics. The principal inputs to the approach included our expectations of the specific business’ earnings before income taxes (“EBIT”) in fiscal 2014 and a discount rate of 12.6 percent, that began with our weighted average cost of capital related to this acquisition of 19.0 percent and adjusted for the risks associated with the underlying EBIT outcome, the functional form of the payout and our credit risk associated with making the payment. Given the use of significant inputs that are not observable in the market, the contingent consideration liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, we reassessed our expectations of the EBIT in fiscal year 2014 and revised our estimate of the contingent consideration liability and reduced the liability by $0 and $12.5 million, respectively, to a balance of $9.6 million at March 31, 2013, The gain was recognized within SG&A in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. In addition, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded a liability of $0 and $0.3 million, respectively, of contingent consideration related to the earn-out in the Interchain acquisition. Refer to Note 22 – Acquisitions for more information on the contingent consideration liability.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. These assets can include loans and long-lived assets that have been reduced to fair value when they are held for sale, impaired loans that have been reduced based on the fair value of the underlying

collateral, cost and equity method investments and long-lived assets that are written down to fair value when they are impaired and the remeasurement of retained investments in formerly consolidated subsidiaries upon a change in control that results in deconsolidation of a subsidiary if we sell a controlling interest and retain a non-controlling stake in the entity. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired and retained investments are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.

The following table provides the carrying value for assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis, all of which are measured under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no losses recognized in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.


Description of Assets	March 31, 2013		June 30, 2012
Goodwill	$	237,236	$	180,811
Long-lived assets		474,782		459,112

Total	$	712,018	$	639,923

The following describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure financial and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Goodwill: Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss may have been incurred.

Long-lived Assets: Long-lived assets include Property, plant and equipment, net and intangible assets, and are valued using the best information available, including quoted market prices or market prices for similar assets when available or internal cash flow estimates discounted at an appropriate interest rate or independent appraisals, as appropriate. For real estate, cash flow estimates are based on current market estimates that reflect current and projected lease profiles and available industry information about expected trends in rental, occupancy and capitalization rates.

Note 15 – Restructuring Program

Our restructuring program that is designed to improve our global footprint, cost structure, technology portfolio, human resources and internal processes continues.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we continued to refine and expand on activities launched in prior years. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, significant new programs were launched focused on achieving further productivity improvements by consolidating operations and relocating certain functions to lower cost countries. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, we continued to refine and expand on programs launched in prior years and initiated new programs to: (i) optimize certain research and development and supply chain functions; (ii) outsource certain manufacturing capabilities; and (iii) divest or sublease facilities no longer needed to support current operations, respectively.

A summary and components of our restructuring initiatives are presented below and include accruals for new programs as well as revisions to estimates, both increases and decreases, to programs accrued in prior periods:

Note 16 – Retirement Benefits

Plan Descriptions

Retirement savings plan

We provide a Retirement Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”) for certain employees in the United States. Under the Savings Plan, and subject to certain limitations: (i) employees may contribute up to 50 percent of their pretax compensation; (ii) each business unit will make a safe harbor non-elective contribution in an amount equal to three percent of a participant’s pre-tax compensation; and (iii) each business unit may also make a matching contribution of 50 percent of an employee’s tax-deferred compensation, up to the first six percent of a participant’s pre-tax compensation. Matching contributions vest at a rate of 25 percent for each year of service with the employer, beginning with the second year of service.

Pension benefits

We provide defined pension benefits to certain eligible employees. The measurement date used for determining pension benefits is the last day of our fiscal year, June 30^th. We have certain business units in Europe and Asia that maintain defined benefit pension plans for

many of our current and former employees. The coverage provided and the extent to which the retirees’ share in the cost of the program vary by business unit. Generally, plan benefits are based on age, years of service and average compensation during the final years of service. In the United States, we have a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) that provides retirement, death and termination benefits, as defined in the SERP, to certain key executives designated by our Board of Directors. The majority of our defined benefit plans do not have contractual or statutory provisions which specify minimum funding requirements. We are in compliance with all existing contractual obligations and statutory provisions.

The following table presents the components of net periodic benefit cost for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Service cost	$	550		$	391		$	1,624		$	1,204
Interest cost		1,786			1,956			5,312			5,963
Expected return on plan assets		(70	)		(60	)		(215	)		(179	)
Amortization of prior service cost		287			352			871			1,055
Amortization of net loss		968			448			2,904			1,345

Net periodic benefit cost	$	3,521		$	3,087		$	10,496		$	9,388

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we made contributions of $2.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, to the defined benefit pension plans, substantially all of which were paid to participants. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we made contributions of $6.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively, to the defined benefit pension plans, substantially all of which were paid to participants. We expect to make approximately $2.4 million in contributions for the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.

Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies

At March 31, 2013, we were subject to legal claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including the matters described below. The outcome of these legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty; however, management, based upon advice from legal counsel, believes such actions are either without merit or will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In re Harman International Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation

On October 1, 2007, a purported class action lawsuit was filed by Cheolan Kim (the “Kim Plaintiff”) against Harman and certain of our officers in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (the “Court”) seeking compensatory damages and costs on behalf of all persons who purchased our common stock between April 26, 2007 and September 24, 2007 (the “Class Period”). The original complaint alleged claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

The complaint alleged that the defendants omitted to disclose material adverse facts about Harman’s financial condition and business prospects. The complaint contended that had these facts not been concealed at the time the merger agreement with KKR and GSCP

was entered into, there would not have been a merger agreement, or it would have been at a much lower price, and the price of our common stock therefore would not have been artificially inflated during the Class Period. The Kim Plaintiff alleged that, following the reports that the proposed merger was not going to be completed, the price of our common stock declined, causing the plaintiff class significant losses.

On November 30, 2007, the Boca Raton General Employees’ Pension Plan filed a purported class action lawsuit against Harman and certain of our officers in the Court seeking compensatory damages and costs on behalf of all persons who purchased our common stock between April 26, 2007 and September 24, 2007. The allegations in the Boca Raton complaint are essentially identical to the allegations in the original Kim complaint, and like the original Kim complaint, the Boca Raton complaint alleges claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

On January 16, 2008, the Kim Plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint, which extended the Class Period through January 11, 2008, contended that, in addition to the violations alleged in the original complaint, Harman also violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by “knowingly failing to disclose “significant problems” relating to its PND sales forecasts, production, pricing, and inventory” prior to January 14, 2008. The amended complaint claimed that when “Defendants revealed for the first time on January 14, 2008 that shifts in PND sales would adversely impact earnings per share by more than $1.00 per share in fiscal 2008,” that led to a further decline in our share value and additional losses to the plaintiff class.

On February 15, 2008, the Court ordered the consolidation of the Kim action with the Boca Raton action, the administrative closing of the Boca Raton action, and designated the short caption of the consolidated action as In re Harman International Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation, civil action no. 1:07-cv-01757 (RWR). That same day, the Court appointed the Arkansas Public Retirement System as lead plaintiff (“Lead Plaintiff”) and approved the law firm Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld and Toll, P.L.L.C. to serve as lead counsel.

On March 24, 2008, the Court ordered, for pretrial management purposes only, the consolidation of Patrick Russell v. Harman International Industries, Incorporated, et al. with In re Harman International Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation.

On May 2, 2008, Lead Plaintiff filed a consolidated class action complaint (the “Consolidated Complaint”). The Consolidated Complaint, which extends the Class Period through February 5, 2008, contends that Harman and certain of our officers and directors violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by issuing false and misleading disclosures regarding our financial condition in fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2008. In particular, the Consolidated Complaint alleges that defendants knowingly or recklessly failed to disclose material adverse facts about MyGIG radios, personal navigation devices and our capital expenditures. The Consolidated Complaint alleges that when Harman’s true financial condition became known to the market, the price of our common stock declined significantly, causing losses to the plaintiff class.

On July 3, 2008, defendants moved to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint in its entirety. Lead Plaintiff opposed the defendants’ motion to dismiss on September 2, 2008, and defendants filed a reply in further support of their motion to dismiss on October 2, 2008. The motion is now fully briefed. As of March 31, 2013, the case remained open with no new developments.

Patrick Russell v. Harman International Industries, Incorporated, et al.

Patrick Russell (the “Russell Plaintiff”) filed a complaint on December 7, 2007 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and an amended purported putative class action complaint on June 2, 2008 against Harman and certain of our officers and directors alleging violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and seeking, on behalf of all participants in and beneficiaries of the Savings Plan, compensatory damages for losses to the Savings Plan as well as injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, restitution, and other monetary relief. The amended complaint alleges that from April 26, 2007 to the present defendants failed to prudently and loyally manage the Savings Plan’s assets, thereby breaching their fiduciary duties in violation of ERISA by causing the Savings Plan to invest in our common stock notwithstanding that the stock allegedly was “no longer a prudent investment for the Participants’ retirement savings.” The amended complaint further claims that, during the Class Period, defendants failed to monitor the Savings Plan fiduciaries, failed to provide the Savings Plan fiduciaries with, and to disclose to Savings Plan participants, adverse facts regarding Harman and our businesses and prospects. The Russell Plaintiff also contends that defendants breached their duties to avoid conflicts of interest and to serve the interests of participants in and beneficiaries of the Savings Plan with undivided loyalty. As a result of these alleged fiduciary breaches, the amended complaint asserts that the Savings Plan has “suffered substantial losses, resulting in the depletion of millions of dollars of the retirement savings and anticipated retirement income of the Savings Plan’s Participants.”

On March 24, 2008, the Court ordered, for pretrial management purposes only, the consolidation of Patrick Russell v. Harman International Industries, Incorporated, et al. with In re Harman International Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation.

Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint in its entirety on August 5, 2008. The Russell Plaintiff opposed the defendants’ motion to dismiss on September 19, 2008, and defendants filed a reply in further support of their motion to dismiss on October 20, 2008. The motion is now fully briefed. As of March 31, 2013, the case remained open with no new developments.

Infotainment Supply Arrangements

We have arrangements with our infotainment customers to provide products that meet predetermined technical specifications and delivery dates. In the event that we do not satisfy the performance obligations under these arrangements, we may be required to indemnify the customer. We accrue for any loss that we expect to incur under these arrangements when that loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2012, we did not incur any costs relating to delayed delivery of product to an infotainment customer. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, we incurred $4.6 million of costs relating to delayed delivery of product to an infotainment customer. An inability to meet performance obligations on infotainment platforms to be delivered in future periods could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition in future periods.

Note 20 – Related Party Transactions

From time to time, we enter into transactions with related parties. In December 2009, we entered into a three-year agreement for engineering and software development services with Neusoft Corporation (“Neusoft”), a Shanghai exchange listed technology solutions provider. A member of our Board of Directors is the Chairman and CEO of Neusoft. On April 20, 2010, our subsidiary, innovative Systems GmbH (“IS”) entered into an asset purchase and business transfer agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Neusoft Technology Solutions GmbH (“Neusoft Technology”), which is a subsidiary of Neusoft, for the sale of certain tangible assets located at IS’s facility in Hamburg, Germany. This transaction closed on June 1, 2010. As part of the Asset Purchase Agreement, IS and Neusoft Technology entered into a five-year agreement for engineering and software development services related to IS’s vehicle navigation business (the “Services Agreement”). Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, IS transferred at closing certain tangible assets and employment relationships to Neusoft Technology and received consideration of €6 million. Our subsidiary, Harman Becker Automotive Systems GmbH and Neusoft Europe AG, a subsidiary of Neusoft, are guarantors under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Services Agreement. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we entered into a contract with Neusoft to develop certain software to be integrated into certain infotainment platforms for a customer. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, we entered into a separate contract with Neusoft to develop digital map databases. As of March 31, 2013, we have paid Neusoft approximately $4.7 million (€3.7 million), which we have classified as a Current asset in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Upon acceptance of the purchased software, the asset will be reclassified as capitalized software and will be amortized over the future revenue stream of the products to which it relates. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred total expenses of $3.8 million and $8.2 million, respectively, for engineering and software development services with Neusoft Technology and Neusoft. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred total expenses of $19.3 million and $24.4 million, respectively, for engineering and software development services with Neusoft Technology and Neusoft.

Note 21 – Sale of Intellectual Property

Effective February 15, 2011, we entered into an agreement with a third party pursuant to which we monetized certain intellectual property rights. No income was recognized in connection with this transaction in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013. Income of $0 and $0.3 million was recognized in connection with this transaction, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, which is included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the caption Sale of intellectual property.

Note 22 – Acquisitions

Martin

On December 19, 2012, we entered into an agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Martin (the “Martin Acquisition”), a leading provider of dynamic lighting solutions for the entertainment, architectural and commercial sectors, for a purchase price of €110 million (the “Martin Purchase Price”), subject to both an estimated and final: (1) net interest bearing debt adjustment and (2) a working capital adjustment (the “Adjustments”). The final Adjustments are to be calculated within 45 business days of the closing date of the Martin Acquisition. The Martin Acquisition closed on February 28, 2013 (“the Martin Acquisition Date”) at which time the initial purchase price of €70.6 million, or $ 92.8 million was paid based on the estimated Adjustments. The purchase price included the assumption of approximately $50.5 million of debt, the majority of which was paid off during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. The final purchase price will be settled once the calculation of the final Adjustments is completed. The results of operations of Martin are included in our Professional segment.

The total cost of the Martin Acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the Martin Acquisition Date, as follows:


	February 28, 2013
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,382
Accounts receivable		26,203
Inventories		47,735
Deferred taxes, current, net		5,795
Other current assets		5,134

Current assets		87,249
Property, plant and equipment		9,420
Goodwill		57,660
Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries		1,932
Intangibles		36,299
Other noncurrent assets		1,902

Total current liabilities		84,683
Deferred tax liabilities, long-term, net		7,885
Long-term debt		9,080

Total liabilities		101,648

Net assets	$	92,814

Based on our preliminary valuation, goodwill and intangibles were recorded in connection with the acquisition based on third-party valuations and management’s estimates for those acquired intangible assets. The valuation of the acquired net assets is subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period. The primary areas of those purchase price allocations that are not yet finalized relate to identifiable intangible assets, certain legal matters and residual goodwill. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Of the $57.7 million of goodwill recognized, none is deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets included a non-amortized indefinite useful life tradename of $20.1 million, customer relationships of $13.2 million with approximate useful lives ranging from six to seven years, backlog of $2.3 million with a useful life of four months and technology of $0.7 million with an approximate useful life of two years. We also recorded adjustments of $3.7 million and $4.5 million to Inventories and Property, plant and equipment, net, respectively, to adjust the opening balances to fair value. These fair value adjustments will be amortized over their estimated lives of 12 months and four years, respectively, through Cost of Sales and depreciation expense within Cost of sales and SG&A, respectively. Expenses of $2.3 million were recognized in connection with this acquisition and are included in SG&A in our Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013. The operating results of Martin are included in our Professional segment. Pro-forma financial information has not been presented as the Martin Acquisition is not material to our results of operations.

Interchain

On July 31, 2012, we entered into an agreement to purchase certain assets and liabilities of Interchain (the “Interchain Acquisition”), a technology product company that specializes in developing telematics, fleet management, Android^® based in-vehicle infotainment and location-based solutions, for a purchase price of 45 million Indian Rupees or approximately $0.8 million, of which $0.3 million was paid on July 31, 2012 and $0.5 million was paid on October 13, 2012, which is the date the transaction closed (the “Interchain Acquisition Date”). The Interchain Acquisition is also subject to a 50 million Indian Rupee earn-out (approximately $0.9 million) which is payable upon the achievement of certain financial targets in the 12 month periods ending September 1, 2013 and September 2, 2014, which we recorded as a $0.3 million Non-current liability in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2013, based upon management’s estimate of its fair value. The total cost of the Interchain Acquisition including the fair value of the earn-out, was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the Interchain Acquisition Date. Goodwill of $0.6 million and intangibles of $0.4 million were recorded in connection with the acquisition. The operating results of the Interchain Acquisition are included in our Infotainment segment. Pro-forma financial information has not been presented as the Interchain Acquisition is not material to our results of operations.

MWM Acoustics

On July 22, 2011 (the “MWM Acquisition Date”), we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Harman Holding Limited (“Harman Holding”), entered into an equity securities purchase agreement with a group of sellers (the “MWM Sellers”), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of MWM Acoustics, a leading provider of high performance embedded acoustic solutions (the “MWM Acquisition”), for a purchase price of $80.0 million (the “Fixed Purchase Price”), plus a working capital adjustment of $0.1 million which was determined within 60 days of the MWM Acquisition Date and has been paid. On the MWM Acquisition Date, we and Harman Holding paid the MWM Sellers a total of $72.0 million. The remainder of the Fixed Purchase Price of $8.0 million was paid in December 2012. The MWM Acquisition is also subject to a $57.0 million earn-out, which is payable contingent upon the achievement of certain financial targets in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. Our preliminary valuation of the contingent consideration was originally valued at $22.1 million and was reduced to $9.6 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, based on revised management estimates. Refer to Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements for more information.

The total cost of the MWM Acquisition, including the fair value of the contingent consideration, was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the MWM Acquisition Date, as follows:

On April 10, 2013 (the “Schaidt Agreement Date”), Harman Becker Automotive Systems, GmbH (“HBAS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harman, entered into an agreement to transfer the ownership of an automotive manufacturing plant in Germany to a third party, Schaidt KG (“Schaidt KG”). Schaidt KG will manufacture and supply products for HBAS based on HBAS’s orders. As compensation for the assumption by Schaidt KG of certain of HBAS’s obligations, HBAS has agreed to pay Schaidt KG €37.6 million or approximately $48.2 million plus a bonus of €4.0 million or $5.1 million, if Schaidt KG meets certain supply obligations, as defined in the agreement. We have determined that Schaidt KG is a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary. As a result, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of Schaidt KG will be included in our consolidated financial statements from the Schaidt Agreement Date forward.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (our “2012 Annual Report”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements which are based on our current expectations and experience and our perception of historical trends, current market conditions, including customer acceptance of our new products, current economic data, expected future developments, foreign currency exchange rates, and other factors that we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested in the forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise indicated, “Harman,” “our company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” are used interchangeably to refer to Harman International Industries, Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Executive Overview

We believe we are a worldwide leader in the development, manufacturing and marketing of high quality, high fidelity audio products and electronic systems, as well as digitally integrated audio and infotainment systems for the automotive industry. We have developed a broad range of product offerings which we sell in our principal markets under our renowned brand names, including AKG^®, Crown^®, JBL^®, Infinity^®, Harman/Kardon^®, Lexicon^®, dbx^®, BSS^®, Studer^®, Soundcraft^®, Mark Levinson^®, Becker^®, Revel^®, Logic 7^®, Martin^® and Selenium^®. We have built these brands by developing our engineering, manufacturing and marketing competencies, and have employed these resources to establish our company as a leader in the markets we serve.

We report our business on the basis of four segments. Our Infotainment, Lifestyle and Professional segments are based on our strategic approach to the markets and customers we serve. Our fourth segment, Other, primarily includes compensation, benefit and occupancy costs for corporate employees, net of allocations and expenses associated with new technology innovation and our corporate brand identity campaign.

We believe that innovation is an important element to gaining market acceptance of our products and strengthening our market position. We have a history of leveraging our continuous technological innovation across all of the markets we serve. We have a well-deserved reputation for delivering premium audio and infotainment solutions across a full spectrum of applications. We believe that our technological innovation, the quality of our products and our reputation for on-time delivery have resulted in Harman being awarded a substantial amount of Infotainment and Lifestyle business. As of March 31, 2013, we have a cumulative estimated $15.7 billion of future awarded Infotainment and Lifestyle automotive business, which represents the estimated future lifetime net sales for all customers. This amount does not represent firm customer orders. We calculate our awarded business using various assumptions, which we update annually, including global vehicle production forecasts, customer take rates for our products, revisions to product life cycle estimates and the impact of annual price reductions, among other factors. We update our estimates quarterly by adding the value of new awards received and subtracting sales recorded during the quarter. We believe our currently awarded automotive business will position us well for follow-on and new business with these existing customers.

Our management uses the amount of our future awarded business for short—and long-term budgeting and forecasting, development of earnings guidance and for planning future corporate investment and other activities, such as capital expenditures and restructuring. Our future awarded business is also an input used to approximate our enterprise value. We believe our investors utilize this information for a number of reasons, including evaluating our future financial performance over time, to model our financial results of operations, to understand the risks inherent in our current operating plan, and as an input to approximate our enterprise value. However, our estimates of future awarded automotive business are forward-looking statements and may not actually be achieved. See the risk factor “We may not realize sales represented by awarded business” in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our 2012 Annual Report.

Our products are sold worldwide, with the largest markets located in the United States and Germany. In the United States, our primary manufacturing facilities are located in Kentucky, Indiana and Utah. Outside of the United States, we have manufacturing facilities in Austria, Brazil, China, Hungary, France, Germany, Mexico, Denmark and the United Kingdom.

Our sales and earnings may vary due to the production schedules and model year changeovers of our automotive customers, the holiday buying season for home audio products, customer acceptance of our products, the timing of new product introductions, product offerings by our competitors, fluctuations in the timing of contractual agreements for customer reimbursements for research, development and engineering expenses (“RD&E”) and general economic conditions. Since most of our businesses operate using local currencies, our reported sales and earnings may also fluctuate due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, especially with respect to the value of the Euro and the U.S. Dollar.

We believe significant opportunities exist to grow our business in all three of our business segments in emerging markets such as Brazil, Russia, India and China (“BRIC”). To execute on this strategy, we have hired dedicated country staff and managers in these markets. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, sales decreased in these emerging markets to $127.7 million, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 1.6 percent, over the prior year. Excluding China, the BRIC countries sales increased $8.7 million to $47.6 million, an increase of 22.4 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in the prior year. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013, sales increased in these emerging markets to $396.4 million, an increase of $15.0 million, or 3.9 percent, over the prior year. Excluding China, the BRIC countries sales increased $18.5 million to $128.3 million, an increase of 16.9 percent during the nine months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in the prior year. We expect our market share to continue to grow significantly in these countries.

We continue to roll out our global marketing campaign featuring some of the world’s most prominent artists and celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Sir Paul McCartney, Maroon 5, Linkin Park, Mariano Rivera and Tim McGraw, in order to increase brand awareness and support growth and market share gains across our entire business.

Critical Accounting Policies

Results of Operations

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $1.062 billion compared to $1.096 billion in the same period in the prior year, a decrease of 3.1 percent including and excluding foreign currency translation. Net sales decreased in our Infotainment and Lifestyle segments and increased in our Professional segment. The decrease in our Infotainment and Lifestyle segments was primarily due to the recession in Europe, which significantly impacted automotive production and lower neodymium surcharges, partially offset by sales growth in home and multimedia products. Sales in our Professional segment increased due to the acquisition of Martin Professional A/S (“Martin”) in February 2013. Refer to Note 22 – Acquisitions in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. This increase was partially offset by declines due to the recession in Europe and by delays in capital projects in the U.S. and China. Foreign currency translation was relatively flat.

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 were $3.116 billion compared to $3.273 billion in the same period in the prior year, a decrease of 4.8 percent or 1.8 percent excluding foreign currency translation. Net sales decreased in our Infotainment, Lifestyle and Professional segments. The decrease in our Infotainment and Lifestyle segments was primarily due to the recession in Europe which significantly impacted automotive production and lower neodymium surcharges, partially offset by sales growth in home and multimedia products. Sales in our Professional segment were similarly affected by the recession in Europe and by delays in capital projects in the U.S. and China. These declines were partially offset by an increase in sales due to the acquisition of Martin in February 2013. In addition, prior year sales were exceptionally robust due to the inability of a competitor to supply its customers as a result of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in the prior fiscal year. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of $100.7 million.

A summary of our net sales by business segment is presented below:


	Three Months Ended March 31,										Nine Months Ended March 31,

Infotainment – Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased $41.4 million, or 6.8 percent, compared to the same period in the prior year, and decreased 7.1 percent excluding foreign currency translation. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower European automotive production due to the lower demand in Western Europe, including Germany, partially offset by favorable foreign currency translation of $2.2 million.

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 decreased $143.7 million, or 7.9 percent, compared to the same period in the prior year, and decreased 4.3 percent excluding foreign currency translation. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower European automotive production due to the lower demand in Western Europe, including Germany, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $68.3 million. In addition, prior year sales were exceptionally robust due to the inability of a competitor to supply its customers as a result of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in fiscal year 2011.

Lifestyle – Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased $4.8 million, or 1.4 percent, compared to the same period in the prior year, and decreased 1.1 percent excluding foreign currency translation. The decrease in net sales was driven by lower sales in car audio due to lower European automotive production as a result of lower demand in Western Europe, including Germany, lower neodymium surcharges and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1.1 million, partially offset by robust demand for our new home and multimedia products.

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 decreased $10.1 million, or 1.0 percent, compared to the same period in the prior year, and increased 1.6 percent excluding foreign currency translation. The decrease in net sales was driven by lower sales in car audio due to lower European automotive production as a result of lower demand in Western Europe, including Germany, lower neodymium surcharges and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $25.4 million. These decreases were partially offset by robust demand for our new home and multimedia products.

Professional – Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $12.5 million, or 8.2 percent, compared to the same period in the prior year, and increased 9.2 percent excluding foreign currency translation. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the acquisition of Martin in February 2013. These increases were partially offset by delays in capital projects in the U.S. and China, the recession in Europe and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1.5 million.

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 decreased $6.2 million, or 1.4 percent, compared to the same period in the prior year, and increased 0.2 percent excluding foreign currency translation.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 1.3 percentage points to 25.4 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 26.7 percent of net sales in the same period in the prior year. The decrease in overall gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily in our Infotainment and Professional segments due to reduced leverage of fixed costs on lower sales.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 0.8 percentage points to 26.3 percent for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 27.1 percent of net sales in the same period in the prior year. The decrease in overall gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily in our Infotainment segment, due to reduced leverage of fixed costs on lower sales and unfavorable product mix related to the higher margin competitive substitution business related to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami recognized in the prior year, partially offset by improved mitigation of neodymium material cost impacts and productivity gains in our Lifestyle and Professional segments.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $230.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $232.8 million in the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $1.8 million. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased 0.5 percentage points in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to lower RD&E, as higher customer reimbursements more than offset higher gross spending, partially offset by higher restructuring expenses. Foreign currency translation was flat. RD&E decreased $20.5 million to $62.9 million, or 5.9 percent of net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $83.4 million, or 7.6 percent of net sales in the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher customer reimbursements, partially offset by higher gross spending.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded $0 and $79.8 million, respectively, of goodwill in our Lifestyle segment, associated with the acquisition of MWM Acoustics. Refer to Note 22 – Acquisitions in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

We did not recognize any impairment charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Operating Income

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $38.3 million, or 3.6 percent of net sales, compared to operating income of $59.9 million, or 5.5 percent of net sales, in the same period in the prior year. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower net sales and gross profit, partially offset by lower SG&A in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was $185.7 million, or 6.0 percent of net sales, compared to operating income of $229.4 million, or 7.0 percent of net sales, in the same period in the prior year. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower net sales and gross profit, partially offset by lower SG&A in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, was $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $5.4 million of interest expense, net, in the same period in the prior year. Interest expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 included interest income of $0.5 million and interest expense of $2.1 million, of which $1.6 million was cash interest and $0.5 million was noncash interest associated with the amortization of the debt issuance costs on the Multi-Currency Credit Agreement entered into on October 10, 2012 (the “New Credit Agreement”). Interest expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 included interest income of $1.3 million and interest expense of $6.7 million, of which $2.0 million was cash interest and $4.7 million was noncash interest associated with the amortization of the debt discount on the 1.25 percent convertible senior notes due October 15, 2012 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”) and the amortization of debt issuance costs on the Convertible Senior Notes and the Multi-Currency Credit Agreement, entered into on December 1, 2010, as amended on December 15, 2011 and July 2, 2012 (the “Credit Agreement”).

Interest expense, net, was $11.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $14.7 million of interest expense, net, in the same period in the prior year. Interest expense, net, for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 included interest income of $1.8 million and interest expense of $13.1 million, of which $5.2 million was cash interest and $7.9 million was noncash interest associated

with the amortization of the debt discount on the Convertible Senior Notes and amortization of debt issuance costs on the Convertible Senior Notes, the Credit Agreement and the New Credit Agreement (explained in more detail below under the caption “New Credit Agreement”). Interest expense, net, for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 included interest income of $5.5 million and interest expense of $20.2 million, of which $5.8 million was cash interest and $14.4 million was noncash interest associated with the amortization of the debt discount on the Convertible Senior Notes and amortization of debt issuance costs on the Convertible Senior Notes and the Credit Agreement.

Foreign Exchange Losses, Net

Foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of certain foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are included in Foreign exchange losses, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Effective July 1, 2011, we changed the functional currency of two of our foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. Dollar to reflect a change in the currency in which such subsidiaries primarily generate and expend cash. We also include gains and losses from forward points on certain derivative foreign currency forward contracts that are excluded from hedge effectiveness testing in Foreign exchange losses, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Refer to Note 13 – Derivatives in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Miscellaneous, Net

Net miscellaneous expenses consisting primarily of bank charges were $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $0.8 million in the same period in the prior year and were $3.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $4.2 million in the same period in the prior year.

Income Tax Expense, Net

Income tax expense (benefit) for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was a $34.2 million expense and an $81.5 million benefit, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was 20.0 percent, and (41.0) percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to same period in the prior year was primarily due to the release in the valuation allowance realized during the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. research and experimental tax credit that was signed into law on January 2, 2013 and the mix of income in certain key foreign jurisdictions.

We have net deferred tax assets of $332.7 million primarily consisting of deferred deductions, RD&E credits, and foreign tax credits. We have evaluated all available evidence, both positive and negative, and based on the weight of all available evidence we continue to believe that our net deferred tax assets are fairly reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the results of our operations do not meet our current expectations, our net deferred tax assets may become impaired.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We primarily finance our working capital requirements through cash generated by operations, borrowings under the New Credit Agreement and trade credit. Cash and cash equivalents were $422.2 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $617.4 million at June 30, 2012. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased $195.1 million. The decrease in cash was primarily due to $100.0 million of cash being used to repay a portion of the outstanding balance of $400.0 million on our Convertible Senior Notes, acquisitions of $99.3 million, net of cash received, the payment of $49.9 million of debt assumed in the acquisition of Martin, increases in inventory and accounts receivable and decreases in accounts, partially offset by sales of short-term investments. We also used cash to make investments in our manufacturing facilities, fund product development and meet the working capital needs of our business segments.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents of $422.2 million and our short-term investments of $10.0 million at March 31, 2013, together with our expected future operating cash flows, and our availability of $743.2 million under our New Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to cover our working capital needs, debt service, our share buy-back program, capital expenditures, including major investments related to manufacturing and research facilities in emerging markets, acquisitions, purchase commitments, restructuring projects and quarterly dividends for at least the next 12 months.

Our ability to maintain positive liquidity going forward depends on our ability to continue to generate cash from operations and maintain access to the financial markets, both of which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other market factors beyond our control. We earn a significant amount of our operating income outside the U.S., the majority of which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. For at least the next 12 months, we believe we have sufficient cash in the U.S., availability under our New Credit Agreement and forecasted domestic cash flow to sustain our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as quarterly dividends and repayment of debt. In addition, we expect existing foreign cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and cash flows from operations to continue to be sufficient to fund our foreign operating activities and cash commitments for investing activities, such as material capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2013, Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments of $205.3 million and $10.0 million, respectively, were held in the U.S. and Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments of $216.9 million and $0, respectively, were held by us in foreign jurisdictions.

Operating Activities

For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, our net cash used in operations was $37.3 million compared to net cash provided by operations of $32.9 million in the same period in the prior year. The decrease in operating cash flows compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to higher payments for inventories and accounts payable and lower accounts receivable and net income. At March 31, 2013, working capital, excluding cash, short-term investments and short-term debt, was $607.7 million, compared with $309.6 million at June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to higher receivable and inventory balances and lower accounts payable.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $30.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $40.5 million provided by investing activities in the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to higher payments for acquisitions, partially offset by lower capital expenditures. Short-term investments consist of commercial paper, short-term deposits and government bonds, time deposits, and treasury bills with original maturities of greater than three months and less than one year. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 were $66.2 million, in support of new Infotainment and Lifestyle awards, compared to $77.8 million for the same period in the prior year. We expect that our run rate for capital expenditures will slightly increase during fiscal year 2013.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $195.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $12.4 million used in financing activities in the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash used was primarily due to repayments of the Convertible Senior Notes (explained in more detail below), the payment of debt assumed in the acquisition of Martin, higher dividends to shareholders, repurchases of common stock and debt issuance costs, partially offset by proceeds from the new term loan facility and share-based payment arrangements.

New Credit Agreement

At March 31, 2013, long-term debt maturing in each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter is as follows:


2013	$	7,500
2014		30,469
2015		35,625
2016		43,125
2017		135,000
Thereafter		41,250

Total	$	292,969

Convertible Senior Notes

At March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we had $0 and $400 million of Convertible Senior Notes outstanding, which were originally issued on October 23, 2007 (the “Issuance Date”) and were due on October 15, 2012. The Convertible Senior Notes were issued at par and we paid interest at a rate of 1.25 percent per annum on a semiannual basis. On October 15, 2012, the maturity date for the Convertible Senior Notes, we repaid all of the outstanding $400 million principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes and accrued and unpaid interest thereon held by affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners and other investors. The repayment of principal was funded by $300 million of borrowings under the Term Facility and $100 million of cash on hand.

Our total debt, including short-term borrowings, at March 31, 2013 was $293.9 million, primarily comprised of outstanding borrowings under the Term Facility of $292.5 million. Also included in total debt at March 31, 2013 is short-term debt and long-term borrowings of $1.4 million.

Our total debt, including short-term borrowings, at June 30, 2012 was $400.7 million, or $395.7 million, net of discount, and was primarily comprised of $400.0 million of the Convertible Senior Notes, which are shown net of a discount of $5.0 million in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2012. Also included in total debt at June 30, 2012 is short-term debt and long-term borrowings of $0.6 million.

Credit Rating

On September 7, 2012, Standard & Poors Ratings Services (“S&P”) raised our corporate credit rating to the investment grade BBB–from BB+, citing improved margins and lower business risk. S&P also raised the issue rating on our senior unsecured notes to BB+ from BB. On October 11, 2012, Moody’s Investors Services raised our credit rating to Baa3 from Ba1, elevating us to investment-grade status, with the assignment of the Baa3 rating to the Facilities. We expect that the increase in our credit rating will enable us to continue to obtain credit in the future.

Equity

Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2013 was $1.639 billion compared with $1.529 billion at June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to higher net income. There were 145,866 shares of our common stock repurchased during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 at a cost of $5.4 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We utilize off-balance sheet arrangements in our operations when we enter into operating leases for land, buildings and equipment in the normal course of business, which are not included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we had outstanding letters of credit of $6.8 million and $8.7 million at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, that were not included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Business Outlook

Our future outlook has been negatively impacted due to changes in global economic conditions, in particular the European sovereign debt crisis and reduced rate of growth within the Chinese economy. This has driven a contraction in consumer discretionary spending, delays in capital expenditure projects and the accelerated ramp down of certain automotive customer programs, resulting in lower demand for our products. These unfavorable economic conditions are forecasted to remain in place for at least the next two quarters. We plan to continue our investment in RD&E and marketing programs, and productivity and restructuring programs during this recessionary period, which is intended to provide an accelerated rate of growth once more favorable economic conditions return.

We are implementing restructuring initiatives in the second half of fiscal year 2013, which will eliminate approximately 500 jobs in high cost countries, resulting in operational savings of approximately $30 to $35 million in fiscal year 2014. We expect to record a restructuring charge of $5 to $10 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 related to these programs.

Subsequent Events

Dividend Declaration

Acquisition of iOnRoad Technolognies, Ltd.

Transfer of Ownership of Manufacturing Facility

On April 10, 2013 (the “Schaidt Agreement Date”), Harman Becker Automotive Systems, GmbH (“HBAS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harman, entered into an agreement to transfer of ownership of an automotive manufacturing plant in Germany to a third party, Schaidt KG (“Schaidt KG”). Schaidt KG will manufacture and supply products for HBAS based on HBAS’s orders. Schaidt KG also intends to manufacture and supply products for certain unrelated customers on an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) basis. As compensation for the assumption by Schaidt KG of certain of HBAS’s obligations, HBAS has agreed to pay Schaidt KG €37.6 million or approximately $48.2 million plus a bonus of €4.0 million or $5.1 million, if Schaidt KG meets certain supply obligations, as defined in the agreement. We have determined that Schaidt KG is a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary. As a result, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of Schaidt KG will be included in our consolidated financial statements from the Schaidt Agreement Date forward. We will continue to monitor the activities of Schaidt KG in order to determine if changes in economic circumstances trigger a reconsideration event which would result in the discontinuance of our status as the primary beneficiary and the deconsolidation of the variable interest entity, when the equity investment at risk and activities of the entity become more closely aligned with the Schaidt KG.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are required to include information about potential effects of changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Since March 31, 2013, there have been no material changes in the quantitative or qualitative aspects of our market risk profile. See Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk included in our 2012 Annual Report.

Interest Rate Sensitivity/Risk

At March 31, 2013, interest on 100 percent of our borrowings was determined on a variable rate basis. The interest rates on the balances of our debt, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are subject to changes in U.S. and European short-term interest rates. To assess exposure to interest rate changes, we have performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates across all outstanding debt and investments. Our analysis indicates that the effect on net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 of such an increase or decrease in interest rates would be approximately $1.2 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

We maintain significant operations in Germany, Hungary, China, the Netherlands, Austria, the United Kingdom, France, Brazil Denmark and Mexico. As a result, we are subject to market risks arising from changes in these foreign currency exchange rates, principally the change in the value of the Euro versus the U.S. Dollar. Refer to Note 13 – Derivatives in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on our financial risk management.

Changes in currency exchange rates, principally the change in the value of the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar have an impact on our reported results when the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars. Over half our sales are denominated in Euros. The average exchange rate for the Euro versus the U.S. dollar for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 decreased 5.0 percent from the same period in the prior fiscal year.

To assess exposure to changes in currency exchange rates, we prepared an analysis assuming a hypothetical 10 percent change in currency exchange rates across all currencies used by our subsidiaries. This analysis indicated that a 10 percent increase in exchange rates would have increased income before income taxes by approximately $9.0 million and a 10 percent decrease in exchange rates would have decreased income before income taxes by approximately $9.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.

Competitive conditions in the markets in which we operate may limit our ability to increase prices in the event of adverse changes in currency exchange rates. For example, certain products made in Europe are sold in the U.S. Sales of these products are affected by the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro. Any weakening of the U.S. Dollar could depress the demand for these European manufactured products in the U.S. and reduce sales. However, due to the multiple currencies involved in our business and the netting effect of various simultaneous transactions, our foreign currency positions are partially offsetting. In addition, our foreign currency hedging program is designed to limit our exposure.

Actual gains and losses in the future may differ materially from the hypothetical gains and losses discussed above based on changes in the timing and amount of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate movements and our actual exposure and hedging transactions.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. We note that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) as promulgated by the SEC under the 1934 Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Share Repurchases

On October 26, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our common stock (the “Buyback Program”). The Buyback Program allows us to purchase shares of our common stock in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions, through October 25, 2012. We entered into an agreement with an external broker, which provided the structure under which the program may be facilitated. This agreement expired on October 25, 2012. On October 23, 2012, the Board of Directors approved an extension of the Buyback Program through October 25, 2013. The Buyback Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We will determine the timing and the amount of any repurchases based on an evaluation of market conditions, share price and other factors. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, we repurchased 0 shares and 145,866 shares, respectively, at a cost of $0.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively, under the Buyback Program for a total buyback of 3,392,275 shares at a cost of $129.3 million.
