NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been reflected.
For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The terms "Corporation," "Kimberly-Clark," "K-C," "we," "our" and "us" refer to Kimberly-Clark Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Highly Inflationary Accounting for Venezuelan Operations
Our Venezuelan subsidiary ("K-C Venezuela") accounts for its operations as highly inflationary, as required by GAAP. Under highly inflationary accounting, K-C Venezuela's functional currency became the U.S. dollar, and its income statement and balance sheet are measured into U.S. dollars using both current and historical rates of exchange. The effect of changes in exchange rates on bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities is reflected in earnings in Other (income) and expense, net. We determined that the Central Bank of Venezuela regulated currency exchange system rate of 5.4 bolivars per U.S. dollar was the appropriate exchange rate to measure K-C Venezuela's bolivar-denominated transactions into U.S. dollars during 2011 and through September 30, 2012.
Note 2. Fair Value Information
Fair Value Measurements
The following fair value information is based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels in the hierarchy used to measure fair value are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets accessible at the reporting date for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not considered active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are significant to the valuation and are unobservable.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and for full year 2011, there were no significant transfers among level 1, 2, or 3 fair value determinations.
Set forth below are the assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at fair value and the inputs used to develop those fair value measurements.

The COLI policies are a source of funding primarily for our nonqualified employee benefits and are included in other assets. Available-for-sale securities are included in other assets. See Note 8 for information on the classification of derivatives in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Level 1 Fair Values - The fair values of certain available-for-sale securities are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Unrealized losses on these securities were not significant at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and have been recorded in other comprehensive income until realized. The unrealized losses have not been recognized in earnings because we have both the intent and ability to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery of fair value to the cost of these securities.
Level 2 Fair Values - The fair value of the COLI policies is derived from investments in a mix of money market, fixed income and equity funds managed by unrelated fund managers. The fair values of derivatives used to manage interest rate risk and commodity price risk are based on LIBOR rates and interest rate swap curves and NYMEX price quotations, respectively. The fair value of hedging instruments used to manage foreign currency risk is based on published quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, which are converted into implied forward currency rates. Additional information on our use of derivative instruments is contained in Note 8.
Fair Value Disclosures
The following table includes the fair value of our financial instruments for which disclosure of fair value is required:

| |
(a) | Cash equivalents are comprised of certificates of deposit, time deposits and other interest-bearing investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. |
| |
(b) | Time deposits, included in Other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, are comprised of deposits with original maturities of more than 90 days but less than one year. Time deposits are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. |
| |
(c) | The note, monetization loan and redeemable preferred securities of subsidiary are not traded in active markets. Accordingly, their fair values were calculated using a floating rate pricing model that compared the stated spread to the fair value spread to determine the price at which each of the financial instruments should trade. The model used the following inputs to calculate fair values: face value, current LIBOR rate, unobservable fair value credit spread, stated spread, maturity date and interest payment dates. The difference between the carrying amount of the note and its fair value represents an unrealized loss position for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized in earnings because we have both the intent and ability to hold the note for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery of fair value to the carrying amount of the note. |
| |
(d) | Short-term debt is comprised of U.S. commercial paper and other similar short-term debt issued by non-U.S. subsidiaries, all of which are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. |
| |
(e) | Long-term debt excludes the monetization loan and includes the current portion ($721 million and $619 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively) of these debt instruments. Fair values were estimated based on quoted prices for financial instruments for which all significant inputs were observable, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
(f) | The fair value of the redeemable common securities of subsidiary was based on various inputs, including an independent third-party appraisal, adjusted for current market conditions. |
Note 3. Pulp and Tissue Restructuring Actions
On January 21, 2011, we initiated a pulp and tissue restructuring plan ("The Restructuring") in order to exit our remaining integrated pulp manufacturing operations and improve the underlying profitability and return on invested capital of our consumer tissue and K-C Professional ("KCP") businesses. The Restructuring involves the streamlining, sale or closure of six of our manufacturing facilities around the world. In conjunction with these actions, we exited certain non-strategic products, primarily non-branded offerings, and transferred some production to lower-cost facilities in order to improve overall profitability and returns.
In addition, on January 24, 2012, we announced our decision to streamline an additional manufacturing facility in North America ("Additional Streamlining") to further enhance the profitability of our consumer tissue business.
Both restructuring actions are anticipated to be substantially completed by the end of 2012. The restructuring actions are expected to result in cumulative pre-tax charges of approximately $550 to $600 million ($385 to $420 million after tax) over 2011 and 2012.
Cash costs related to the streamlining of operations, sale or closure, relocation of equipment, severance and other expenses are expected to account for approximately 30 to 40 percent of the charges. Noncash charges consist primarily of incremental depreciation.
Through September 30, 2012, cumulative pre-tax charges for the restructuring actions were $500 million ($345 million after tax), including cumulative pre-tax cash charges of $135 million. On a geographic basis, these cumulative pre-tax charges were incurred as follows: North America - $262 million; Australia - $160 million and Other - $78 million. On a business segment basis, these cumulative pre-tax charges were incurred as follows: Consumer Tissue - $437 million; K-C Professional & other - $61 million and Other (income) and expense, net - $2 million.
The following charges were incurred in connection with the restructuring actions:

We use the LIFO method of valuing inventory for financial reporting purposes for most U.S. inventories. Interim LIFO calculations are based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we made cash contributions of $95 million and $416 million, respectively, to our pension trusts. We currently anticipate contributing approximately $100 million for the full year 2012 to our pension trusts.
Note 6. Earnings Per Share ("EPS")
There are no adjustments required to be made to net income for purposes of computing basic and diluted EPS. The average number of common shares outstanding is reconciled to those used in the basic and diluted EPS computations as follows:

There were no significant outstanding options excluded from the computation of diluted EPS during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. Outstanding options during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 of 3.2 million and 4.8 million, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS mainly because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the periods.
The number of common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 was 392.3 million and 393.3 million, respectively.
Note 7. Stockholders' Equity
Set forth below are reconciliations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 of the carrying amount of total stockholders' equity from the beginning of the period to the end of the period. In addition, each of the reconciliations displays the amount of net income allocable to redeemable securities of subsidiaries.

Net unrealized currency gains or losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, except those in highly inflationary economies, are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"). For these operations, changes in exchange rates generally do not affect cash flows; therefore, unrealized translation adjustments are recorded in AOCI rather than net income. Upon sale or substantially complete liquidation of any of these subsidiaries, the applicable unrealized translation adjustment would be removed from AOCI and reported as part of the gain or loss on the sale or liquidation.
Also included in unrealized translation amounts are the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature and transactions designated as hedges of net foreign investments.
Note 8. Objectives and Strategies for Using Derivatives
As a multinational enterprise, we are exposed to financial risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and the value of investments of our defined benefit pension plans. We employ a number of practices to manage these risks, including operating and financing activities and, where deemed appropriate, the use of derivative instruments. Our policies allow the use of derivatives for risk management purposes and prohibit their use for speculation. Our policies also prohibit the use of any leveraged derivative instrument. Consistent with our policies, foreign currency derivative instruments, interest rate swaps and locks and the majority of commodity hedging contracts are entered into with major financial institutions.
On the date a derivative contract is entered into, we formally designate certain derivatives as cash flow, fair value or net investment hedges and establish how the effectiveness of these hedges will be assessed and measured. This process links the derivatives to the transactions or financial balances they are hedging. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in earnings as they occur.
Set forth below is a summary of the fair values of our derivative instruments classified by the risks they are used to manage:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The derivative assets are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in Other current assets and Other assets, as appropriate. The derivative liabilities are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in Accrued expenses and Other liabilities, as appropriate.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management
We have a centralized U.S. dollar functional currency international treasury operation ("In-House Bank") that manages foreign currency exchange risks by netting, on a daily basis, our exposures to recorded non-U.S. dollar assets and liabilities and entering into derivative instruments with third parties whenever our net exposure in any single currency exceeds predetermined limits. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings when they occur. The In-House Bank also records the gain or loss on the remeasurement of its non-U.S. dollar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities in earnings. Consequently, the net effect on earnings from the use of these non-designated derivatives is substantially neutralized by transactional gains and losses recorded on the underlying assets and liabilities. The In-House Bank's daily notional derivative positions with third parties averaged $1.4 billion in the first nine months of 2012 and its average net exposure for the same period was $1.3 billion. The In-House Bank used ten counterparties for its foreign exchange derivative contracts.
We enter into derivative instruments to hedge a portion of the net foreign currency exposures of our non-U.S. operations, principally for their forecasted purchases of pulp, which are priced in U.S. dollars, and imports of intercompany finished goods and work-in-process priced predominately in U.S. dollars and euros. The derivative instruments used to manage these exposures are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2012, outstanding derivative contracts of $920 million notional value were designated as cash flow hedges for the forecasted purchases of pulp and intercompany finished goods and work-in-process.
The foreign currency exposure on non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities managed outside the In-House Bank, primarily intercompany loans and accounts payable, is hedged with derivative instruments with third parties. At September 30, 2012, the notional amount of these predominantly undesignated derivative instruments was $580 million.
Foreign Currency Translation Risk Management
Translation adjustments result from translating foreign entities' financial statements to U.S. dollars from their functional currencies. The risk to any particular entity's net assets is reduced to the extent that the entity is financed with local currency borrowing. Translation exposure, which results from changes in translation rates between functional currencies and the U.S. dollar, generally is not hedged. However, consistent with other years, a portion of our net investment in our Mexican affiliate has been hedged. At September 30, 2012, we had in place net investment hedges of $67 million for a portion of our investment in our Mexican affiliate. Changes in the fair value of net investment hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income to offset the change in value of the net investment being hedged. There was no significant ineffectiveness related to net investment hedges as of September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Interest Rate Risk Management
Interest rate risk is managed using a portfolio of variable- and fixed-rate debt composed of short- and long-term instruments and interest rate swaps. From time to time, interest rate swap contracts, which are derivative instruments, are entered into to facilitate the maintenance of the desired ratio of variable- and fixed-rate debt. These derivative instruments are designated and qualify as fair value hedges or, to a lesser extent, cash flow hedges.
From time to time, we hedge the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt, using forward-starting swaps or "treasury locks" (e.g., a 10-year "treasury lock" hedging the anticipated underlying U.S. Treasury interest rate related to issuance of 10-year debt at a future date). These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.
At September 30, 2012, the aggregate notional values of outstanding interest rate contracts designated as fair value hedges and cash flow hedges were $300 million and $280 million, respectively.
Commodity Price Risk Management
We use derivative instruments to hedge a portion of our exposure to market risk arising from changes in the price of natural gas. Hedging of this risk is accomplished by entering into forward swap contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges of specific quantities of natural gas expected to be purchased in future months.
As of September 30, 2012, outstanding commodity forward contracts were in place to hedge forecasted purchases of about 25 percent of our estimated natural gas requirements for the next twelve months and a lesser percentage for future periods.
Effect of Derivative Instruments on Results of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income
Fair Value Hedges
Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are predominantly used to manage interest rate risk. The fair values of these instruments are recorded as an asset or liability, as appropriate, with the offset recorded in current earnings. The offset to the change in fair values of the related hedged items also is recorded in current earnings. Any realized gain or loss on the derivatives that hedge interest rate risk is amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt.
Fair value hedges resulted in no significant ineffectiveness in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, no gain or loss was recognized in earnings as a result of a hedged firm commitment no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge.
Cash Flow Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially recorded in AOCI, net of related income taxes, and recognized in earnings in the same period that the hedged exposure affects earnings.
Cash flow hedges resulted in no significant ineffectiveness in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, no gains or losses were reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges due to the original forecasted transaction no longer being probable of occurring. At September 30, 2012, $8 million of after-tax gains are expected to be reclassified from AOCI primarily to cost of products sold during the next twelve months, consistent with the timing of the underlying hedged transactions. The maximum maturity of cash flow hedges in place at September 30, 2012 is October 2014.

Note 9. Subsequent Events
European Strategic Changes
On October 23, 2012, we approved strategic changes related to our Western and Central European consumer and professional businesses to focus our resources and investments on stronger market positions and growth opportunities. We will be exiting the diaper category in that region, with the exception of the Italian market, and divesting or exiting some lower-margin businesses, mostly in consumer tissue, in certain markets. The changes will primarily affect our consumer businesses, with a modest impact on K-C Professional.
Restructuring actions related to the strategic changes will involve the sale or closure of five of our European manufacturing facilities and a streamlining of our administrative organization. In total, these actions will result in reducing our European workforce by approximately 1,300 to 1,500 positions.
The restructuring actions will commence in the fourth quarter of 2012 and are expected to be completed by December 2014. The restructuring is expected to result in cumulative charges of approximately $250 to $350 million after tax ($300 to $400 million pre-tax) over that period. We anticipate that the pre-tax charges will fall into the following categories and approximate dollar ranges: workforce reduction costs ($140 to $175 million); asset impairment charges ($120 to $150 million); incremental depreciation ($30 to $40 million) and other associated costs ($10 to $35 million). Cash costs related to severance and other expenses are expected to account for approximately 50 to 60 percent of the charges. Noncash charges will consist primarily of asset impairment charges and incremental depreciation.
U.S. Pension Plan Lump Sum Offering
In order to reduce the size and potential future volatility of our U.S. defined benefit pension plan obligation, we have offered approximately 10,000 former employees who have deferred vested pension plan benefits a one-time option to receive a lump sum distribution of their benefits by the end of 2012. The vested benefit obligation associated with these former employees is approximately $570 million, equivalent to about 15 percent of our benefit obligation for the U.S. qualified plan.
Eligible participants have until November 21, 2012 to make their election. If the percentage of eligible participants that choose the lump sum option exceeds approximately 45 percent, we will recognize a one-time, non-cash settlement charge in the fourth quarter. The lump sum payments will be funded from existing pension plan assets and will occur by the end of 2012.
Note 10. Description of Business Segments
We are organized into operating segments based on product groupings. These operating segments have been aggregated into four reportable global business segments: Personal Care, Consumer Tissue, K-C Professional & other, and Health Care. The reportable segments were determined in accordance with how our executive managers develop and execute global strategies to drive growth and profitability. These strategies include global plans for branding and product positioning, technology, research and development programs, cost reductions including supply chain management, and capacity and capital investments for each of these businesses. Segment management is evaluated on several factors, including operating profit. Segment operating profit excludes other (income) and expense, net and income and expense not associated with the business segments, including the charges related to the pulp and tissue restructuring actions described in Note 3.

| |
• | Results of Operations and Related Information |

• | Liquidity and Capital Resources |
Overview of Third Quarter 2012 Results
| |
• | Net sales decreased 2.5 percent primarily due to unfavorable currency effects partially offset by increases in net selling prices and sales volumes. |
| |
• | Operating profit and net income attributable to Kimberly-Clark Corporation increased 18.3 percent and 19.7 percent, respectively. |
| |
• | Net income includes $16 million in after tax charges ($31 million pre-tax) in 2012 and $66 million in after tax charges ($95 million pre-tax) in 2011 for the pulp and tissue restructuring actions. |
| |
• | Cash provided by operations was $844 million compared to $750 million in the prior year. The improvement was driven by higher cash earnings and a smaller increase in working capital than in the year-ago quarter, partially offset by higher defined benefit pension plan contributions. |
