HUBBELL INCORPORATED
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hubbell Incorporated
(Hubbell, the Company, or registrant) have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (U.S.) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented
have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial statements
at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements.
Certain prior year amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows have been
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Hubbell Incorporated Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2005.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN
48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return and provides guidance related to classification and disclosure matters. FIN 48 is effective
for the Company beginning on January 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating its tax positions
and the measurement criteria to determine the impact that this
pronouncement may have on the
financial statements and the related notes to financial statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (FASB No. 157). FASB No. 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair
value to measure assets and liabilities and expands disclosure with respect to fair value
measurements. This statement is applicable to the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact that this standard may have on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans- an amendment of
FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132 (R). This statement requires companies to recognize the
funded status of single employer defined benefit pension or other
postretirement plans as an asset or liability in
its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in
which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The Company is required to recognize the
funded status of its defined benefit pension or other postretirement
plans and provide disclosures as of December 31,
2006 as prescribed by the standard. The Company plans to adopt this standard in the fourth quarter
of 2006. In addition, the standard requires
that for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008 a company is required to measure the funded
status of single employer defined benefit pension or other
postretirement plans as of the date of its year-end
statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The Company is already using its year end
date of December 31 to measure the funded status of its defined benefit plans. The Company
performed a preliminary evaluation of the impact of this standard on
its financial statements using current interest rates and plan
assets. However, a change in interest rates or plan assets could significantly impact the amounts
required to be recorded. Based upon this preliminary evaluation, the Company estimates
it will be required to record a net, after-tax charge of approximately $54 million, to other comprehensive income within shareholders equity.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) No. 108 which provides interpretative guidance on how the effects of the carryover
or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year
misstatement. The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance
sheet and
6
an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a
misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is
material. The Company does not expect that this release will have any impact on its financial
statements.
2. Business Acquisition
On June 1, 2006, the Company purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Strongwell
Lenoir City, Inc. for $117.2 million in cash. Strongwell Lenoir City, Inc. (renamed Hubbell Lenoir
City, Inc.) has been added to the Power segment and the results of operations after June 1, 2006
are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The acquired business has
manufacturing facilities in Lenoir City, TN and San Jose, CA. Hubbell Lenoir City, Inc. designs and
manufactures precast polymer concrete products used to house
underground equipment and also has a line of surface drain products. These products are sold to the electrical utility and telecommunications
industries. Hubbell Lenoir City, Inc. complements the existing product lines of the Power segment
and shares a similar customer base to the existing businesses within the Power segment.
The Company is in the process of finalizing the allocation of fair value to the
underlying assets and liabilities and, as a result, the allocation of the purchase price could
change. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the estimated fair values of
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of June 1, 2006, in millions.

The
fair value allocated to net assets acquired primarily relates to inventory and fixed
assets. Intangible assets identified consist of $21 million of tradenames and $7.6 million
primarily comprised of customer lists. The tradenames are being amortized over a period of 30 years
and customer lists are being amortized over a period of 10 years. The excess of purchase price over
the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and identifiable intangible assets has been
allocated to goodwill. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
In the first nine months of 2005, the Company acquired five businesses through separate
transactions. Total cash expended in the first nine months of 2005 on these acquisitions, including
fees and expenses and net of cash acquired, was $53.2 million as outlined below.
A total of $23.5 million of purchase price including fees and expenses was attributable to the
purchase of two businesses in the third quarter of 2005 in the Industrial Technology segment; one
which manufactures pressure switches for industrial markets and the
other which manufactures contactors and switches used in the locomotive and industrial markets.
A total of $11.2 million of purchase price including fees and expenses was attributable to the
purchase in the third quarter of 2005 of a harsh and hazardous lighting company located in the
United Kingdom (UK), which was added to the Electrical segment.
A total of $18.5 million of purchase price including fees and expenses and net of cash
acquired and debt assumed in the first nine months of 2005 was attributable to the purchase of two
businesses in the Power segment; a civil anchor business and a Brazilian manufacturer of surge
arresters, cutouts and other products serving the utility industry.
The accounting for the purchase of these businesses acquired in 2005, including adjustments
made in the third quarter of 2006, is complete as of September 30, 2006. The following table
summarizes the final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of September 30,
2006.

Intangible assets identified consist primarily of tradenames and customer lists. The
tradenames are being amortized over a period of 30 years. The customer lists and other intangibles
are generally amortized over periods ranging from 7-15 years. The excess of purchase price over the
fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and identifiable intangible assets has been
allocated to goodwill. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
3. Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123 (R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123 (R)).
The standard requires expensing the value of all share-based payments, including stock options and
similar awards, based upon the awards fair value measurement on the grant date. SFAS 123 (R)
revises SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), and supersedes
APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). SFAS 123 (R) is
supplemented by SEC SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment. SAB No. 107 expresses the SEC staffs views
regarding the interaction between SFAS 123(R) and certain rules and regulations including the
valuation of share-based payment arrangements.
As of September 30, 2006, the Company had various stock-based awards outstanding which were
issued to executives and other key employees. The Company will recognize the cost of these
awards on a straight line attribution basis over their respective vesting periods, net of estimated
forfeitures. The Company adopted the modified prospective transition method as outlined in SFAS 123
(R) and, therefore, prior year amounts have not been restated.
In 2005, the Company issued restricted stock awards, performance based stock awards and stock
appreciation rights (SARs) on the Companys Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Hubbell
Incorporated 2005 Incentive Award Plan. In 2004 and 2003, the Company granted stock option awards
on the Companys Class B Common Stock under the Hubbell Incorporated Stock Option Plan for Key
Employees (Option Plan). In the second quarter of 2006, the Company issued a total of 2,800
shares of restricted stock. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized
total pretax stock-based compensation expense of $2.8 million, of which $2.6 million was recorded
in Selling & administrative expense and $0.2 million was recorded in Cost of goods sold in the
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. For the first nine months of 2006, total pretax
stock-based compensation expense of $8.2 million was recorded, of which $7.7 million was recorded
in Selling & administrative expense and $0.5 million was recorded in Cost of goods sold in the
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. Of the total $8.2 million of pretax stock-based
compensation expense recorded in the first nine months of 2006, $4.9 million relates to the
expensing of stock options which would not have been expensed but for the adoption of SFAS 123 (R).
Total stock-based compensation expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006
reduced both basic and diluted earnings per share by $.03 and $.08, respectively.
For the first nine months of 2006, the Company recorded $3.1 million of income tax benefit
related to stock-based compensation expense. The income tax benefit has been recorded as a deferred
tax asset in Deferred taxes and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September
30, 2006, there was $13.6 million, pretax, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to
non-vested share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized ratably
through November 2008.
Under
the Hubbell Incorporated 2005 Incentive Award Plan, the
Company may authorize up to 5.9 million shares of Class B
Common Stock in settlement of grants of stock options, restricted
stock, performance shares, or SARs. The Companys policy is to issue new shares for
settlement of any stock-based awards.
Each of the compensation arrangements is discussed below.
Restricted Stock
The restricted stock granted to date is not transferable and is subject to forfeiture in the
event of the recipients termination of employment prior to vesting. The restricted stock will
generally vest in one-third increments annually for three years on each anniversary of the date of grant or completely upon
a change in control, termination of employment by reason of death or disability or in certain other
instances. Recipients are entitled to receive dividends and voting rights on their restricted stock
regardless of vesting. The weighted average fair
8
value of
the 2005 restricted stock grants was $49.07 per share at the date of
grant. The fair values are measured
using the average between the high and low trading prices of the Companys Class B Common Stock on
the grant date. At December 31, 2005, the Company had issued 130,376 shares of restricted stock
of which 6,443 shares have been forfeited and 7,964 shares have vested in the first
nine months of 2006. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company issued 350 shares to each of the
eight non-management members of its Board of Directors for a total of 2,800 shares. These shares
vest over a one year period on the date of the next Annual Meeting, which is scheduled for May
2007. A total of 118,769 non-vested shares remain outstanding as of September 30, 2006.
Stock Appreciation Rights
The SARs granted to date entitle the recipient to the difference between the fair market value
of the Companys Class B Common Stock on the date of exercise and the grant price as determined
using the average between the high and the low trading prices of the Companys Class B Common Stock
on the measurement date. This amount is payable in shares of the Companys Class B Common Stock.
One-third of the SARs vest and become exercisable each year for three
years on the anniversary of the grant date
and expire ten years after the grant date. At December 31, 2005 the Company had 504,239 SARs
outstanding at a grant price of $49.76, of which none are vested as of September 30, 2006 and
23,760 have been forfeited. A total of 480,479 SARs remain outstanding as of September 30, 2006.
The fair value of the SARs was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
following table summarizes the assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model
to determine the 2006 expense with respect to SARs. Expected volatilities are based on historical
volatilities of the Companys stock, and other factors. The Company uses historical data as well as
other factors to estimate exercise behavior and employee termination. The expected term of SARs
granted is based upon historical trends of stock option behavior as well as future projections. The
risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant
for the expected term of the award.

Performance Shares
The performance shares granted to date vest and become deliverable based upon satisfaction of
performance criteria established by the Companys Compensation Committee. The criteria are based
upon the Companys cumulative growth in earnings per share compared to a peer group of the Standard
& Poors Electrical Equipment Index over a three-year period. Performance at target will result in
vesting and issuance of the performance shares. Performance below or above target can result in
payment in the range of 0%-250% of the number of shares granted. Performance shares are issued on
the third anniversary of the date of grant assuming the performance measures have been met. The
fair value of the performance shares is $46.23, which was measured using the average between the
high and low trading prices of the Companys Class B Common Stock on the measurement date,
discounted for the non-payment of dividends during the requisite period. At December 31, 2005, the
Company had 35,178 performance based shares outstanding of which none have vested and none have
been forfeited as of September 30, 2006. The Company accounts for the shares granted on the
current assumption that 100% of the target number of shares will meet the performance criteria.
Stock Option Awards
The Company granted options to officers and other key employees to purchase the Companys
Class B Common Stock in previous years. Options issued in 2004 and 2003 were partially vested on
January 1, 2006, the effective date of SFAS 123(R). All options granted had an exercise price equal
to the average between the high and low trading prices of the Companys Class B Common Stock on the
measurement date. These option awards generally vest annually over a three-year period and expire
after ten years.

There were 1.3 million and 0.9 million anti-dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. In addition, 0.5 million SARs
were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2006 as the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005 there were 1.4 million and 1.0 million anti-dilutive common stock equivalents
outstanding, respectively.

Included above in acquisitions in the Power segment is $61.5 million of goodwill from the
acquisition of Hubbell Lenoir City, Inc. and $0.2 million related to a final adjustment of
acquisition costs related to the 2005 acquisition of a Brazilian manufacturer serving the utility
industry. Included above in acquisitions in the Industrial Technology segment is a $2.1 million
adjustment to goodwill for the 2005 acquisition of a pressure switch business.
The
Companys policy is to perform its annual goodwill impairment testing in the second quarter of each
year, unless circumstances dictate the need for more frequent assessments. In 2006, this testing
resulted in implied fair values for each reporting unit which exceeded the reporting units
carrying value, including goodwill. Consequently, there were no impairments of goodwill. Similarly,
there were no impairments of indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Identifiable intangible assets are recorded in Intangible assets and other in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet and at September 30, 2006 include approximately $21.5 million of
indefinite-lived intangible assets not subject to amortization and $54.7 million of intangibles
with definite lives that are being amortized and are presented net of accumulated amortization of
$6.6 million. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $3.7 million per year over the
next two years and $3.4 million for the three
11
years thereafter. Indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily represent tradenames related to
the Lighting Corporation of America (LCA) acquisition. Definite-lived intangible assets primarily
represent trademarks, customer lists and patents of which $28.6 million relates to the acquisition
of Hubbell Lenoir City, Inc. (see Note 2).

actions taken in connection with the programs discussed below, all within the Electrical segment.
Lighting Business Integration and Rationalization Program
The Companys ongoing lighting business integration and rationalization program (the Program
or Lighting Program) was initiated in 2002 following the Companys acquisition of LCA and relates
to both the integration and rationalization of the Companys acquired and legacy lighting
operations. The Program consists of a series of actions related to the consolidation of
manufacturing, sales and administrative functions occurring throughout the lighting fixture
business and the relocation of the manufacturing and assembly of lighting fixture products to low
cost countries.
The 2006 third quarter charge consisted of $0.5 million of an asset impairment charge to
write-down to net realizable value certain equipment in the florescent lighting business and $0.2
million of transition and integration costs. The 2005 third quarter special charge consisted of
$0.3 million of severance and related benefit costs, $0.2 million of inventory write-downs and $0.7
million of facility exit
12
and transition costs. Special charges recorded in the first nine months of 2005 consisted of
$2.2 million of severance costs, $2.4 million of exit and integration costs and $0.4 million of
inventory write-downs.
Special charges for the first nine months of 2006 of $3.8 million are detailed in the table
below. The current year severance costs are being recorded as a result of actions initiated in
2005 and in the first quarter of 2006. The severance costs are being recorded ratably over the
affected employees remaining service period following the announcement of the programs. A total
reduction of approximately 580 employees is expected to occur as a result of actions related to
these programs, of which approximately 300 employees have left the Company as of September 30,
2006. Employee termination costs accrued through September 30, 2006
consist of severance costs and related benefits which are expected to
be paid out over the next eighteen months. As of December 31,
2005 and September 30, 2006, the Company also had $3.0 million
accrued related to a pension curtailment which is not reflected in the
table below.
Closure of a Wiring Device Factory
In the second quarter of 2004, the Company announced plans to close a wiring device factory in
Puerto Rico. The factory closed during the second quarter of 2005 and production activities were
transferred to existing facilities or outsourced. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company
recorded $0.9 million of special charges, of which $0.6 million was related to facility closure and
$0.3 million was for inventory write-downs. This action resulted
in the reduction of approximately 220 employees. All employees have left the Company and the remaining severance was paid in the first
quarter of 2006.
The following table sets forth activity with respect to special charges for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 and the status of amounts accrued at September 30, 2006 (in millions):

Employer Contributions
The Company expects to contribute approximately $15 million to its domestic, defined benefit
pension plans and $7 million to its international plans in 2006. As of September 30, 2006 the
Company had contributed approximately $1.5 million to its international plans.
12. Guarantees
The Company accrues for costs associated with guarantees when it is probable that a liability
has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The most likely cost to be incurred
is accrued based on an evaluation of currently available facts and, where no amount within a range
of estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued.
As of September 30, 2006, the Company had six individual forward exchange contracts
outstanding, each for the purchase of $1.0 million U.S. dollars which expire ratably each month
through March 2007. These contracts were entered into in order to hedge the exposure to fluctuating
rates of foreign currency exchange on inventory purchases. These contracts have been designated as
cash flow hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, as amended.
The Company offers a product warranty which covers defects on most of its products. These
warranties primarily apply to products that are properly used for their intended purpose, installed
correctly, and properly maintained. The Company generally accrues estimated warranty costs at the
time of sale. Estimated warranty expenses are based upon historical information such as past
experience, product failure rates, or the number of units to be repaired or replaced. Adjustments
are made to the product warranty cost accrual as claims are incurred or as historical experience
indicates. The product warranty cost accrual is reviewed for reasonableness on a quarterly basis
and is adjusted as additional information regarding expected warranty costs becomes known. Changes
in the accrual for product warranties in the first nine months of 2006 are set forth below (in
millions):

hazardous applications including material handling, conveyer control
and monitoring equipment, gas detection equipment, voice
communications systems, and emergency warning lights and sounders.
Austdac will be added to the Companys Industrial
Technology segment and is expected to have full year sales of
approximately $25 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary of Business Strategy
A more detailed description of our business strategy objectives is included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Our business strategy continues to incorporate the following objectives:
|
|
Transformation of business processes. The Company is committed to
a long-term initiative of applying lean process improvement
techniques throughout the enterprise to eliminate waste and
improve efficiency and reliability. |
|
|
|
Lighting integration and cost reduction. We continue to execute a
multi-year program to rationalize our lighting business. Actions
include facility consolidations, workforce reductions and product
rationalizations. |
|
|
|
Global sourcing. We continue to focus on expanding our global
product and component sourcing and supplier cost reduction program
through consolidation of suppliers, utilization of reverse
auctions, and partnering with vendors to shorten lead times,
improve quality and delivery and reduce costs. |
|
|
|
Acquisitions in our core markets. We continue to seek potential
acquisitions that would enhance our core electrical component
businesses wiring systems, lighting fixtures and controls,
rough-in electrical products, and utility products. |
|
|
|
Working capital efficiency. We remain committed to improving our
working capital efficiency which emphasizes improved inventory
management, faster collection of accounts receivable and
negotiation of more favorable supplier payment terms. |
|
|
|
Common, enterprise-wide information system. A multi-year program
which provides a common information system to meet the needs of
our business is substantially complete. SAP software has been
installed at almost all of the Companys domestic businesses,
excluding recent acquisitions, with the last substantial go-live
successfully completed in October 2006. |
OUTLOOK
Our outlook for full year 2006 in key areas is as follows:
Sales
We
currently expect overall sales growth in 2006 versus 2005 to be as
much as 15%. However, a certain amount of moderation is occurring in
our markets resulting from inventory levels industry-wide and other
factors which may detract from growth going forward. Sales
increases compared to 2005 are expected to be broad based, with each of our three segments
contributing. The full year impact of acquisitions is expected to contribute approximately four
percentage points of the overall sales increase, with price increases accounting for approximately
two percentage points.
Operating Results
Full year 2006 operating profit margin is expected to be slightly below the 10.8% operating
margin in 2005. The impact of expensing stock-based compensation in 2006 is expected to decrease
operating profit margins by approximately one-half of a percentage point. In addition, supply chain
and production inefficiencies in our Electrical segment, higher
selling and administrative expenses including SAP implementation costs and spending on
investments in new product development, are all expected to lower operating margins in 2006.
Lastly, we expect that the price increases enacted in 2005 and in the first nine months of 2006 as
well as additional planned increases will fall short of offsetting higher levels of raw material
commodity costs and higher energy related costs.
We expect to continue to integrate and streamline our operations, particularly within our
Lighting fixtures business. These actions are expected to result in full year charges being recorded
in 2006 related to severance, business integration costs and asset write-downs to consolidate
operations at amounts in the $7-$9 million range compared to the $11 million of special charges
recorded for the full year 2005. Amounts actually recorded in 2006 will depend on the nature and
timing of when plans are finalized and approved.
15
Our business information system initiative is expected to facilitate consolidation of business
support processes. We estimate total 2006 expenses directly related to the implementation of our
SAP enterprise-wide information system will be in a range of $6-$7 million and capitalized costs
will be in a range of $10-$12 million. In addition, non-cash amortization expenses associated with
capitalization will approximate $8 million.
Taxation
We
estimate the effective tax rate in 2006 will be approximately 30% compared with 23.5%
reported in 2005. The increase is primarily due to the absence of a tax settlement recorded in
2005, which lowered the rate in that year by approximately five percentage points, and an
anticipated higher level of U.S. taxable income at comparably higher tax rates. In addition,
Congress has yet to renew the research and development tax credit that expired on December 31,
2005 and, as such, we have not recognized a benefit this year that had been reflected in the prior
year effective tax rate.
Earnings Per Share
Overall, earnings per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2006 is currently
expected to be in the range of $2.80-$2.90, including the impact of special charges and stock-based
compensation expense.
Cash Flow
Cash flow provided by operating activities is estimated to be $150-$175 million. Free cash
flow (defined as cash flow from operations less capital spending) in 2006 is expected to range from
$70-$85 million. This will be below levels reported in the prior year primarily as a result of an
increase in working capital requirements to support higher sales levels, new product launches and
the impact of SAP.
Capital spending in 2006 is expected to be approximately $80-$90 million primarily as a result
of the construction of our new lighting headquarters facility, capitalized software costs, and
other strategic initiatives including equipment purchases. We expect total share repurchases in
2006 to approximate $100 million, however, total repurchases may vary depending upon the level of
financing and investing activities, and the market performance of the Companys shares.
Growth
Our growth strategy contemplates acquisitions in our core businesses. This is evidenced by our
2005 acquisitions as well as the acquisition of Hubbell Lenoir City, Inc. in the second quarter of
2006. Hubbell Lenoir City, Inc. is expected to contribute $70-$80 million to Power segment sales on
a full year basis with operating margins at or above the Power segment average. The rate and extent
to which appropriate acquisition opportunities become available, acquired companies are integrated
and anticipated cost savings are achieved can affect our future results.

Net Sales
Net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 increased 16% versus the
comparable periods in 2005. The majority of the year-over-year increase is due to strong end user
demand as a result of improved economic conditions in most of our served markets. The impact of
acquisitions accounted for five percentage points of the sales increase in the third quarter
and four percentage points in the first nine months. We estimate that selling price
increases accounted for approximately two
percentage points and one percentage point of the
16
year-over-year increase in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively. Currency
translation had no material impact on sales in the third quarter or in the first nine months of
2006 versus the comparable periods of 2005.
Sales to the retail and residential market decreased approximately 5% in the third quarter of
2006 compared to the same period in 2005 primarily due to lower demand associated with slowing
housing markets. However, sales to the retail and residential market increased approximately 5% in the first
nine months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 consistent
with overall market growth. Residential sales represented approximately 14% of the Companys
consolidated net sales for the first nine months of 2006.
Gross Profit
The consolidated gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2006 was 27.9%, a decline
compared to 29.3% in the third quarter of 2005. On a year-to-date basis, 2006 gross profit margin
also declined to 27.7% compared to 28.3% for the first nine months of 2005. Production and delivery
inefficiencies were experienced in certain of our Electrical and Power segment
businesses in the year-to-date results compared to the prior year. Further, higher year-over-year
costs throughout each segment in the areas of commodity raw materials and transportation negatively
impacted gross profit margins by approximately two percentage points through the first half of 2006
versus 2005, rising to closer to three percentage points in the third quarter of 2006 versus the
third quarter of 2005. These items were partially offset by increased sales volume in 2006 compared
to 2005, selling price increases, lower product costs from strategic sourcing initiatives and
completed actions within our Lighting Program.
Selling & Administrative (S&A) Expenses
S&A expenses increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 versus the
comparable periods in 2005 primarily due to higher selling and commission expenses associated with
increased sales, expenses associated with new product launches and stock-based compensation. As a
percentage of sales, S&A expenses were higher in the third quarter of 2006 versus the third quarter
of 2005 primarily due to higher expenses associated with the SAP implementation, stock-based
compensation and costs associated with new product development. However, for the first nine months
of 2006, S&A expenses as a percent of sales declined
year-over-year, despite costs associated with stock-based
compensation and new product launches, due to higher sales and efforts to manage costs. In addition, S&A costs
in the prior year included an unusual item consisting of $4.6 million, pretax, of transactional
expenses in support of our strategic growth initiatives.
Special Charges
Special charges recorded in the third quarter of 2006 of $0.7 million consisted of $0.2
million of exit and integration costs and $0.5 million of asset impairments in connection with the
write-down of certain equipment in the florescent lighting fixtures business. The 2005 third
quarter special charges of $1.2 million consisted of $0.3 million of severance, $0.7 million of
integration costs including facility closing costs and $0.2 million of inventory write-downs.
Special charges recorded for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005 were $3.8 million and $5.9
million, respectively, the components of which are summarized below. All charges recorded in 2006
pertain to actions associated with the Lighting Program. The 2005 year-to-date charge included $0.9
million of costs related to the Wiring device factory closure. The remaining 2005 charges pertained
to the Lighting Program. Both programs are discussed below.

Lighting Business Integration and Rationalization Program
The integration and streamlining of our lighting operations is a multi-year initiative.
Individual projects within the Program consist of factory, office and warehouse closures, personnel
realignments, and costs to streamline and combine product offerings. Total costs from the start of
the Program in 2002 through the expected completion of the substantial components of the Program in
2006 are expected to approximate $55 million. From inception of the Program through September 30,
2006, approximately $50 million has been spent. In addition, capital expenditures of $45-$55 million
are forecast, of which approximately $39 million has been spent. State and local tax incentives are expected to
be available to offset certain of these costs. Program costs related to severance, asset
impairments, and facility closures in conjunction with exit activities are generally reflected as
Special charges within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. Inventory write-downs
related to exit activities are recorded as a component of Cost of goods sold. Other costs
associated with the Program are recorded as Cost of goods sold or Selling & administrative expenses
depending on the nature of the cost.
The Program began in 2002 soon after the LCA acquisition
was completed. The Company is currently in its final phase of the Program which consists
of the consolidation and relocation of administrative functions and manufacturing activities of
commercial lighting facilities within the U.S. and Mexico. See further detail of these actions in
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2005.
Closure of a Wiring Device Factory
In the second quarter of 2004, the Company announced plans to close a Wiring device factory in
Puerto Rico. The factory closed during the second quarter of 2005 and production activities were
transferred to existing facilities or outsourced. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company
recorded $0.9 million of special charges, of which $0.6 million was related to facility closure
costs and $0.3 million was for inventory write-downs.
Other Income/Expense
In the third quarter of 2006, interest expense, net of investment income, increased versus the
comparable period in 2005. Interest expense was lower by $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2006 versus the third quarter of 2005 due to a lower level of fixed rate
indebtedness in 2006 compared to 2005 as we repaid $100 million of senior notes upon maturity in
October 2005. In addition, investment income decreased
by $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the
third quarter of 2005 due to lower average investment
balances partially offset by higher average interest rates received on cash and investments. The
lower average investment balances are due to the funding of several acquisitions in 2005 and the
Hubbell Lenoir City, Inc. acquisition in June 2006, as well as funding higher working capital. In the first nine
months of 2006, interest expense, net decreased versus the first nine
months of 2005 as interest expense decreased by $4.0 million and
investment income decreased by $2.9 million. Other expense, net was higher in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 versus the
comparable periods of 2005 primarily due to higher net foreign currency transaction losses.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2006 was 30.2% compared to 31.0% in the third
quarter of 2005. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2006 versus the
comparable period of 2005 is primarily due to the $1.9 million
provision recorded in the third quarter of
2005 related to a dividend repatriation in connection with the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2006 was 30.0% compared to 29.4% in the first
nine months of 2005 reflecting a higher year-over-year annual effective tax rate estimate as a
result of anticipated higher U.S.-based taxable income in 2006 which carries a higher tax rate than
the majority of the Companys non-U.S. income partially offset by taxes provided in 2005 in
connection with the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. In addition, Congress has yet to renew the
research and development tax credit that expired on December 31,
2005 and, as such, we have not recognized a benefit this
year that had been reflected in the prior year effective tax rate.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share
Net income and earnings per diluted share decreased in the third quarter of 2006 compared to
the third quarter of 2005 primarily due to a lower gross profit margin and higher S&A costs,
partially offset by a lower effective income tax rate. However, net income and earnings per diluted share
increased for the first nine months of 2006 versus the comparable period in 2005 due to higher
sales and higher operating income, lower interest expense, net and lower special charges. Average shares
outstanding-basic have decreased year-over-year by approximately 0.6 million shares due to shares
repurchased under our stock repurchase program in excess of shares issued in connection with
employee stock-based compensation.

Electrical segment sales increased 9% and 10%, respectively, in the third quarter and first
nine months of 2006 versus the comparable periods in 2005. Each of the businesses within the
segment wiring systems, electrical products and lighting fixtures experienced year-over-year
increases in the third quarter and in the first nine months of 2006. Selling price increases
accounted for approximately two percentage points and one percentage point of the increase in the
third quarter and first nine months of 2006, respectively, versus the comparable periods of 2005.
Lighting fixture sales represented in excess of 50% of total net sales reported in the
Electrical segment in both the third quarter and first nine months of
2006 and 2005. In the first nine months of 2006, sales of lighting fixtures increased in the commercial and industrial and
residential markets due to higher levels of commercial and residential construction throughout the
U.S. generating increases in lighting fixture project sales. In the
third quarter of 2006, sales to the commercial and industrial
markets increased, however, sales of residential products
decreased due to softening in the
U.S. residential housing market partially offset by market share gains.
Sales of wiring systems in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2006 increased
at percentages slightly above the segments average increase versus the comparable prior year
periods due to higher demand in both industrial and commercial markets. Rough-in electrical
products sales in the third quarter decreased from the previous
years third quarter primarily due to a slowdown in the retail market. Sales of harsh and hazardous products increased
well above the increases in the overall segment in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006
versus the comparable periods of 2005 primarily due to higher oil and gas project shipments related
to strong market conditions worldwide and the favorable impact of an acquisition completed in the
third quarter of 2005.
Operating income declined in the third quarter of 2006 versus the comparable period in the
prior year, despite higher sales, due to higher commodity costs in excess of selling price
increases in each business, higher costs related to new product offerings in wiring systems and
incremental SAP support costs in each business. Operating income increased in the first nine months
of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005 primarily due to higher sales. Special charges in
the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 were $0.7 million and $3.8 million compared to $1.2
million and $5.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2005, respectively.
Operating margin in the segment was lower in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 versus
the comparable periods of 2005 despite higher sales primarily due to production and delivery
inefficiencies in the lighting and wiring systems businesses, higher costs associated with new
products and SAP support costs as well as higher commodity raw
material and freight costs in excess of selling price increases, partially offset by savings from actions associated with special charges.

Net sales in the Power segment increased 27% in both the third quarter and first nine months
of 2006 versus the comparable periods in 2005. The increase in the quarter was driven by
acquisitions, increased volume and, to a lesser extent, selling price increases. Volume increased
in the quarter despite a reduction in year over year storm related product shipments. The
acquisition of Delmar in the third quarter of last year as well as the Hubbell Lenoir City, Inc.
acquisition completed in the second quarter of 2006 accounted for over half of the sales increase
in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Higher sales in the first nine
months of 2006 versus the prior year were primarily due to the impact
of acquisitions and higher levels of utility spending facilitated by higher levels of economic activity
in the U.S. and favorable weather conditions. Operating income increased in 2006 in both the third
quarter and year-to-date versus the same periods of 2005 as a result of higher sales and the impact
19
of acquisitions, partially offset by commodity cost increases above selling price increases.
However, operating margin declined in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of
2005 as a result of commodity cost increases in excess of realized selling price increases, higher
costs due to the SAP implementation and lower storm-related sales
volume. Operating margin
increased slightly in the first nine months of 2006 compared to the comparable period of 2005 as a
result of the increase in volume, productivity improvements from strategic sourcing and the
favorable impact of acquisitions, partially offset by commodity cost increases in excess of selling
price increases.

Net sales in the Industrial Technology segment increased 50% and 45%, respectively, in the
third quarter and first nine months of 2006 versus the comparable periods in 2005. The increase in
both the quarter and first nine months was primarily due to the improvement in industrial market
activity as evidenced by higher manufacturing output and rising capacity utilization rates. All
businesses within the segment reported increases in year-over-year sales. In addition, acquisitions
in the third quarter of 2005 accounted for over 20% of the segment sales increase in the quarter
and over one third of the nine month increase versus the comparable periods of 2005. Operating
margin improved significantly in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2006 versus the
comparable periods in 2005 as a result of increased volume, acquisitions and cost savings
associated with outsourcing and other productivity improvements.

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 decreased
from the comparable period in 2005 primarily as a result of higher working capital. Working
capital, net increased to a use of cash of $106.3 million compared to a use of cash of $26.9
million in the prior year. The higher working capital consists of increases in both accounts
receivable and inventory balances, offset by higher levels of accounts payable and current
liabilities. These increases are primarily the result of a combination of increased volume to
support higher levels of growth, increased inventory levels to support new product offerings
introduced in the fourth quarter of 2006 and inefficiencies
associated with the implementation of SAP.
Investing activities used cash of $17.3 million in the first nine months of 2006 compared to
cash provided by investing activities of $5.1 million in the first nine months of 2005. Included in
the first nine months of 2006 is $117.4 million of cash disbursed on acquisitions, $67.1 million of
capital expenditures and $164.9 million of net proceeds from sales/maturities of investments.
Included in the first nine months of 2005 was $53.2 million of cash disbursed for acquisitions,
$46.6 million of capital expenditures and $100.1 million of net proceeds from investment
sales/maturities. Financing activities used cash of $122.3 million in the first nine months of 2006
compared to cash used of $93.2 million in the first nine months of 2005. The $29.1 million increase
in cash used is primarily the result of $15.3 million of increased spending on share repurchases in the first
nine months of 2006 and $27.3 million of higher cash disbursed
for debt repayments, partially offset by higher borrowings and
20
higher proceeds from exercises of stock options.
Investments in the Business
We define investment in our business to include both normal expenditures required to maintain
the operations of our equipment and facilities as well as expenditures in support of our strategic
initiatives.
In
the first nine months of 2006, we recorded a total of
$71.6 million of capital expenditures, a total of $59.3 million was additions to property, plant and
equipment of which $21.5 million was spending in
connection with the new lighting headquarters and $12.3 million was
capitalized software primarily in connection with the enterprise-wide business system initiative.
Included in the $71.6 million of capital expenditures were $4.5 million of accrued amounts not yet
expended, resulting in total cash capital expenditures of
$67.1 million.
We continue to invest in process improvement through our long-term lean process improvement
initiatives. We have been actively engaged in the lean program for a few years although we still
consider ourselves in the early part of this initiative. We expect benefits from this investment
will improve our operating results primarily in the form of increased productivity at our
businesses.
In June 2005, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program which authorized the
repurchase of up to $60 million of the Companys Class A and Class B Common Stock. In February
2006, the Board of Directors approved an additional stock repurchase program and authorized the
purchase of up to $100 million of the Companys Class A and Class B Common Stock to be completed
over a three year period. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company completed the 2005 program and
began repurchasing from the 2006 program. Stock repurchases are being implemented through open
market and privately negotiated transactions. We have spent $74.4 million on the repurchase of
common shares in the first nine months of 2006. As of September 30, 2006, a total of $71.4 million
remains authorized for future repurchases under the 2006 program.
On August 3, 2006, in connection with our previously announced stock repurchase program, we
established a prearranged repurchase plan (the 10b5-1 Plan) intended to comply with the
requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Act).
The 10b5-1 Plan facilitates ongoing repurchases of our Class A and Class B Common Stock under
our repurchase programs by permitting us to repurchase shares during times when we otherwise might
be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout
periods. Pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan, a broker appointed by the Company has the authority to
repurchase, without further direction from the Company, up to 750,000 shares of our Class A Common
Stock and up to 750,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock during the period commencing on August
4, 2006 and expiring on August 3, 2007, subject to conditions specified in the 10b5-1 Plan and
unless earlier terminated. There is no guarantee as to the number of shares that will be
repurchased under the plan, and we may terminate the plan at any time. Depending upon market
conditions, we also expect to continue to conduct discretionary repurchases in privately negotiated
transactions during our normal trading windows.
Debt to Capital
Net Debt, as disclosed below, is a non-GAAP measure that may not be comparable to definitions
used by other companies. We consider Net Debt to be more appropriate than Total Debt for measuring
our financial leverage as it better measures our ability to meet our funding needs.

The
ratio of debt to total capital at September 30, 2006 decreased
approximately two percentage points
compared to December 31, 2005 due to a combination of payments made on short-term debt and higher
equity. Despite lower debt at September 30, 2006 compared with
21
December 31, 2005, net debt increased due to the decrease in cash and investments as the
Company used cash and investments primarily to fund the Hubbell Lenoir City, Inc. acquisition and
repurchase shares of its stock.
At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, Long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet consisted of $200 million, excluding unamortized discount, of senior notes which
mature in 2012. These notes are fixed rate indebtedness, are not callable and are only subject to
accelerated payment prior to maturity if we fail to meet certain non-financial covenants, all of
which were met at September 30, 2006. The most restrictive of these covenants limits our ability to
enter into mortgages and sale-leasebacks of property having a net book value in excess of $5
million without the approval of the Note holders.
At September 30, 2006, Short-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet consisted
of $12.0 million of commercial paper and $1.9 million of a money market loan issued by our U.K.
subsidiary. The money market loan represents a line of credit to borrow up to 5 million pounds
sterling entered into by our U.K. subsidiary (US $ equivalent at September 30, 2006 of $9.5
million). At September 30, 2006 all of our $200 million committed bank credit facility was
available for borrowing. Borrowings under credit agreements generally are available with an
interest rate equal to the prime rate or at a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate.
Although not the principal source of liquidity, we believe our credit facilities are capable
of providing significant financing flexibility at reasonable rates of interest. However, a
significant deterioration in the results of our operations or cash flows, leading to deterioration
in financial condition, could either increase our borrowing costs or restrict our ability to
borrow. We have not entered into any other guarantees, commitments or obligations that could give
rise to material unexpected cash requirements.
Liquidity
We measure liquidity on the basis of our ability to meet short-term and long-term operational
funding needs, fund additional investments, including acquisitions, and make dividend payments to
shareholders. Significant factors affecting the management of liquidity are cash flows from
operating activities, capital expenditures, cash dividend payments, stock repurchases, access to
bank lines of credit and our ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms.
Internal cash generation together with currently available cash and investments, available
borrowing facilities and an ability to access credit lines, if needed, are expected to be
sufficient to fund operations, the current rate of cash dividends, capital expenditures, and any
increase in working capital that would be required to accommodate a higher level of business
activity. We actively seek to expand by acquisition as well as through the growth of our current
businesses. While a significant acquisition may require additional debt and/or equity financing, we
believe that we would be able to obtain additional financing based on our favorable historical
earnings performance and strong financial position.
Critical Accounting Policies
A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. We believe that the application of these policies on a
consistent basis enables us to provide the users of our financial statements with useful and
reliable information about operating results and financial condition. There have been no changes to
these policies since December 31, 2005.
We are required to make estimates and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related
disclosures. We continually review these estimates and their underlying assumptions to ensure they
are appropriate for the circumstances. Changes in the estimates and assumptions we use could have a
significant impact on our financial results.
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the information included in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, contain forward-looking
statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include

reasonable current expectations. In addition, all statements regarding anticipated growth or

Any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performances and actual
results, developments and business decisions may differ from those contemplated by such
forward-looking statements.
The Company disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statement, all of which are expressly
qualified by the foregoing, other than as required by law.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the operation of its business, the Company has exposures to fluctuating foreign currency
exchange rates, availability of purchased finished goods and raw materials, changes in material
prices, foreign sourcing issues, and changes in interest rates. As noted throughout Managements Discussion
and Analysis, we have seen significant increases in the cost of certain metals used in our
products, along with higher energy and freight costs. In addition, the Companys procurement
strategy continues to emphasize an increased level of purchases from international locations,
primarily China and India, which subjects the Company to increased political and foreign currency
exchange risk. Changes in the Chinese governments policy regarding the value of the Chinese
currency versus the U.S. dollar has not had any significant impact on our financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows. However, strengthening of the Chinese currency could increase
the cost of the Companys products procured from this country. There has been no significant change
in the Companys strategies to manage these exposures during the first nine months of 2006. For a
complete discussion of the Companys exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ending December 31, 2005.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There
are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures.
Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable
assurance of achieving their control objectives.
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), as of the end of the period covered by this report on
Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, each of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2006, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures
were effective.
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the Companys most recently completed quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
In June 2005, the Companys Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program and
authorized the repurchase of up to $60 million of the Companys Class A and Class B Common Stock.
The June 2005 program was completed in August 2006. In February 2006, the Board of Directors
approved an additional stock repurchase program and authorized the purchase of up to $100 million
of the Companys Class A and Class B Common Stock to be completed over a three year period. The
repurchase program commenced in
24
August 2006 upon completion of the June 2005 program. The status of both plans is listed
below. Stock repurchases are being implemented through open market and privately negotiated
transactions.

On August 3, 2006, in connection with its previously announced stock repurchase program,
the Company established the 10b5-1 Plan intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and
Rule 10b-18 under the Act.
The 10b5-1 Plan facilitates the ongoing repurchase of the Companys Class A and Class B Common
Stock under its repurchase program during times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so
under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. Pursuant to the
10b5-1 Plan, a broker appointed by the Company has the authority to repurchase, without further
direction from the Company, up to 750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and up to 750,000 shares
of Class B Common Stock during the period commencing on August 4, 2006 and expiring on August 3,
2007, subject to conditions specified in the 10b5-1 Plan and unless earlier terminated. There is no
guarantee as to the number of shares that will be repurchased under the plan, and the Company may
terminate the plan at any time. Depending upon market conditions, the Company also expects to
continue to conduct discretionary repurchases in privately negotiated transactions during its
normal trading windows.

2005 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN
WHEREAS, this Corporation maintains the Hubbell Incorporated 2005 Incentive Award Plan
(the 2005 Plan); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 13.1 of the 2005 Plan, the Compensation Committee has the right
to amend the 2005 Plan subject to approval of the Board of Directors; and
WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of
this Corporation have determined that it is in the best interest of the Corporation to amend the
2005 Plan to comply with recently issued accounting guidance by providing for automatic adjustments
with respect to Class B Common Stock of the Corporation granted under the 2005 Plan following
certain corporate events affecting the Class B Common Stock or its share price;
NOW, THEREFORE, immediately upon passage hereof, the 2005 Plan is hereby amended as follows:
By substituting the following for Section 10.1 (a):
(a) In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or
exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off, recapitalization,
distribution of Company assets to stockholders (other than normal cash
dividends), or any other corporate event affecting the Stock or the share
price of the Stock, the Committee shall make such proportional and
equitable adjustments to reflect such changes with respect to (i) the
aggregate number and type of shares that may be issued under the Plan
(including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Sections
3.1 and 3.3); (ii) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards
(including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or
criteria with respect thereto); and (iii) the grant or exercise price per
share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan. Any adjustment affecting
an Award intended as Qualified Performance-Based Compensation shall be made
consistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.
I hereby certify that the foregoing amendment to the 2005 Incentive Award Plan was adopted by
the Board of Directors of this Corporation on September 13, 2006 at a duly held meeting thereof.

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of
this Corporation have determined that it is in the best interest of the Corporation to amend the
Plan to comply with recently issued accounting guidance by providing for automatic adjustments with
respect to Class B Common Stock of the Corporation which is subject to options under the Plan
following certain corporate events affecting the Class B Common Stock or its share price.
NOW, THEREFORE, effective immediately upon passage hereof, the Plan is hereby amended as
follows:
By substituting the following for the first paragraph of Paragraph (d):
If (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a transaction to
which Section 424(a) of the Code is applicable; (ii) the Company shall
declare a dividend payable in any class of shares, or shall subdivide or
combine, its shares; or (iii) any other event shall occur which
necessitates action by way of adjusting the terms of the outstanding
options, in order to prevent dilution or enhancement of outstanding
options, the Committee shall forthwith take such action to preserve the
participants rights substantially proportionate to the rights existing
prior to such event and to the extent that such action shall include an
increase or decrease in the number of shares subject to outstanding
options, the number of shares available under Paragraph 3 above shall be
increased or decreased, as the case may be, proportionately. The
actions of the Committee shall, with respect to any matter referred to
in this Paragraph, be conclusive and binding upon each participant.
I hereby certify that the foregoing amendment to the Stock Option Plan for Key Employees was
adopted by the Board of Directors of this Corporation on September 13, 2006 at a duly held meeting
thereof.
