Form 8-K for LENNOX INTERNATIONAL INC


5-Feb-2009

Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Costs Associated with Exi


Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 5, 2009, Lennox International Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is deemed to be furnished and shall not be deemed to be "filed" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.



Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On February 4, 2009, the Company announced that its Allied Air Enterprises Inc. subsidiary plans to consolidate operations from Blackville, South Carolina into its current operations in Orangeburg, South Carolina and the LII United Products facility in Saltillo, Mexico. The transition of production from Blackville to the other facilities will take place in phases starting in 2009 and is expected to be completed within two years. The Company believes consolidating its Blackville factory operations into Orangeburg and Saltillo is necessary to further improve its operating efficiency, eliminate redundant fixed costs, and provide its customers with improved service.

The Company expects to incur restructuring charges related to these activities of approximately $12 million, primarily in the first quarter of 2009, and expects annual savings of $5 million beginning 2011. Included in these charges are the following estimated costs:

• One-time employee termination expense of approximately $3.5 million consisting primarily of severance and related fringe benefits; and

• Other associated costs in the range of $8.5 million which include (i) loss on disposal of certain long-lived assets and relocation costs for equipment and inventory of approximately $6.5 million, and (ii) other associated costs of approximately $2.0 million.

The above estimated costs are currently expected to result in short-term cash outlays of approximately $6.6 million.
