REDDY ICE HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010

1. General

        Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. ("Reddy Holdings"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Reddy Ice Corporation ("Reddy Corp"), referred to collectively as the "Company", manufacture and distribute packaged ice products. The Company consists of a single operating segment. The common stock of Reddy Holdings is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "FRZ".

        This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report of the Company and Reddy Corp. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the condensed financial statements of Reddy Corp included herein are unaudited; however, balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 have been derived from the audited financial statements for that date, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Under the SEC's regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation, and all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been made and are of a normal and recurring nature. The financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated and Reddy Corp financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements apply to both the Company and Reddy Corp. Reddy Corp comprises all or substantially all of the Company's consolidated balances or activities unless otherwise noted. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year.

2. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

        In September of 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. ASU 2011-08 modifies the goodwill impairment test by allowing for an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, based on this assessment, the entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity may bypass performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. However, if the entity concludes otherwise, it is required to perform Step 1 of the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In June of 2011, the FASB issue ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim

periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and offers guidance on when to perform Step 2 of the testing. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists based upon factors such as unanticipated competition, the loss of key personnel and adverse regulatory changes. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, which updates the guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations, to clarify that pro forma disclosures should be presented as if a business combination occurred at the beginning of the prior annual period for purposes of preparing both the current reporting period and the prior reporting period pro forma financial information. These disclosures should be accompanied by a narrative description about the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. ASU 2010-29 is effective for business combinations consummated in periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and is required to be applied prospectively as of the date of adoption. The Company has reflected the adoption of ASU 2010-29 in the disclosures accompanying the consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions

        No acquisitions were completed during the three months ended September 30, 2011. Three acquisitions were completed during the three months ended September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company completed nine and eleven acquisitions, respectively. The total purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based upon estimates of their respective fair values as of the closing dates using valuations and other studies.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $10.1 million of revenue from the businesses acquired in 2011.

        The recorded purchase price allocation related to the acquisition completed during the three months ended June 30, 2011 is preliminary at September 30, 2011, pending further evaluation of market participant data and the fair values of certain equipment acquired. The Company recorded approximately $0.7 million of deferred tax liabilities in connection with this acquisition. In addition, as a result of the acquisition made during the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company entered into an earn-out agreement, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to pay the former stockholder of the acquired entity up to $0.8 million in additional consideration if certain revenue targets are achieved by the purchased entity during the twelve months immediately following the acquisition. As a result, the Company recorded a $0.4 million contingent liability during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The earn-out agreement is recorded at its fair value of $0.2 million at September 30, 2011. The fair value of the earn-out liability is estimated based on management's assessment of the weighted average probability that certain revenue targets will be achieved by the acquired entity.

        The Company recorded $1.9 million of tax deductible goodwill recognized in connection with the acquisitions completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Other intangible assets were comprised of customer lists and non-compete agreements, which are being amortized over useful lives of 2 to 30 years, with a weighted average useful life of 21.4 years. The acquisitions were funded out of the Company's operating cash flows, proceeds from debt offerings and borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

        In addition, Reddy Corp had $14.5 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2011.

        11.25% Senior Secured Notes.    On March 15, 2010, Reddy Corp issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the "First Lien Notes") in a private placement offering. The First Lien Notes were subsequently registered with the SEC effective August 2, 2010. Cash interest accrues on the First Lien Notes at a rate of 11.25% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15. The First Lien Notes mature on March 15, 2015. The proceeds of the offering were used to repay certain of Reddy Corp's preexisting debt (see "Old Senior Credit Facilities" below), pay fees and expenses related to the transactions and provide the Company with cash for future use.

        The First Lien Notes are senior secured obligations of Reddy Corp and are:

    guaranteed by Reddy Holdings;

    secured on a first-priority basis by liens on substantially all of the assets of Reddy Corp and Reddy Holdings;

    senior in right of payment to all of Reddy Corp's and Reddy Holdings' future subordinated indebtedness; and

    effectively senior to all of Reddy Corp's and Reddy Holdings' existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness.

        The First Lien Notes include customary covenants that restrict, among other things, Reddy Corp's and its future subsidiaries' ability to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock, pay dividends or redeem, repurchase or retire its capital stock or subordinated indebtedness, make certain investments, create liens, enter into arrangements that restrict dividends from its subsidiaries, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets or enter into various transactions with affiliates. From and after March 15, 2013, Reddy Corp may redeem any or all of the First Lien Notes by paying a redemption premium, which is initially 5.625% of the principal amount of the First Lien Notes and declines to 0%

6. Revolving Credit Facility and Long-Term Obligations (Continued)


for the period commencing on March 15, 2014 and thereafter. Prior to March 15, 2013, Reddy Corp may redeem any or all of the First Lien Notes by paying a "make-whole" redemption premium. If Reddy Corp experiences a change of control, Reddy Corp will be required to make an offer to repurchase the First Lien Notes at a price equal to 101% of their accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Reddy Corp may also be required to make an offer to purchase the First Lien Notes with proceeds of asset sales that are not reinvested in the Company's business or used to repay other indebtedness.

        The indenture governing the First Lien Notes restricts the amount of dividends, distributions and other restricted payments Reddy Corp may make. Under the indenture, Reddy Corp is restricted from paying dividends to Reddy Holdings unless, at the time of such payment:

    no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

    the first lien leverage ratio set forth in the indenture governing the First Lien Notes is less than or equal to 3.5 to 1.0; and

    there is sufficient capacity under the buildup amount under the indenture governing the First Lien Notes.

        The first lien leverage ratio under the indenture governing the First Lien Notes means the ratio of first lien indebtedness (as defined in the indenture) to EBITDA (as defined in the indenture) for the most recent four fiscal quarters. Reddy Corp is generally required to calculate its first lien leverage ratio on a pro forma basis to give effect to the incurrence and repayment of indebtedness as well as acquisitions and dispositions. As of September 30, 2011, the first lien leverage ratio was 6.0 to 1.0.

        The buildup amount equals 50% of the consolidated net income of Reddy Corp accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from April 1, 2010 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available (or, if such consolidated net income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus, the net cash proceeds to Reddy Corp of the issuance of capital stock, subject to certain exceptions, and any cash capital contribution received by Reddy Corp from its stockholder, in each case after April 1, 2010, plus the amount by which Reddy Corp indebtedness is reduced on its balance sheet as a result of the conversion or exchange of such indebtedness for capital stock, plus the net reduction in certain restricted investments made by Reddy Corp, less the amount of certain restricted payments made from time to time, including, among other things, the payment of cash dividends. Reddy Corp is not currently permitted to pay dividends under this provision.

        In addition, regardless of the leverage ratio or whether Reddy Corp could make any restricted payments under the buildup amount provision referred to above, Reddy Corp is permitted to make certain restricted payments including (1) dividend payments at any time in an aggregate amount of up to $25.0 million if no default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture, (2) the payment of interest when due on the remaining 101/2% Senior Discount Notes and the repayment, redemption or retirement of the remaining 101/2% Senior Discount Notes from the proceeds of certain indebtedness of Reddy Corp incurred after the date of issuance of the First Lien Notes, (3) the payment of dividends to Reddy Holdings in an amount per year not to exceed $1.0 million to pay franchise taxes and

overhead expenses of Reddy Holdings and (4) the payment of dividends to Reddy Holdings in an amount per year not to exceed 6.0% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by Reddy Corp from all public equity offerings after the date of issuance of the First Lien Notes subject to specified conditions. However, the amount of dividend payments permitted under this 6.0% provision will correspondingly reduce the amount otherwise available under the buildup amount for restricted payments, including dividends.

        13.25% Senior Secured Notes.    On March 15, 2010, Reddy Corp issued $137.6 million in aggregate principal amount of 13.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the "Second Lien Notes") in the initial settlement of a private placement exchange offer for the outstanding Discount Notes (the "Exchange Offer"). The Second Lien Notes were subsequently registered with the SEC effective August 2, 2010. On March 24, 2010, Reddy Corp issued an additional $1.8 million in aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes in the final settlement of the Exchange Offer. Reddy Corp received no cash proceeds from the issuance of the Second Lien Notes. Cash interest accrues on the Second Lien Notes at a rate of 13.25% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, with the first payment occurring on November 1, 2010. The Second Lien Notes mature on November 1, 2015. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company issued $0.6 million of Second Lien Notes to certain bondholders as an early tender premium (see "101/2% Senior Discount Notes" below for further information). These additional Second Lien Notes were not reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet upon issuance, but will be recognized as additional debt through interest expense over the term of the Second Lien Notes.

        The Second Lien Notes are senior secured obligations of Reddy Corp and are:

    guaranteed by Reddy Holdings;

    secured on a second-priority basis by liens on substantially all of the assets of Reddy Corp and Reddy Holdings;

    senior in right of payment to all of Reddy Corp's and Reddy Holdings' future subordinated indebtedness; and

    effectively senior to all of Reddy Corp's and Reddy Holdings' existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness.

        The Second Lien Notes include customary covenants that restrict, among other things, Reddy Corp's and its future subsidiaries' ability to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock, pay dividends or redeem, repurchase or retire its capital stock or subordinated indebtedness, make certain investments, create liens, enter into arrangements that restrict dividends from its subsidiaries, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets or enter into various transactions with affiliates. From and after March 1, 2013, Reddy Corp may redeem any or all of the Second Lien Notes by paying a redemption premium, which is initially 6.625% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes and declines to 0% for the period commencing on March 1, 2014 and thereafter. Prior to March 1, 2013, Reddy Corp may redeem any or all of the Second Lien Notes by paying a "make-whole" redemption premium. If Reddy Corp experiences a change of control, Reddy Corp will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Second Lien Notes at a price equal to 101% of their accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Reddy Corp may also be required to make an offer to

purchase the Second Lien Notes with proceeds of asset sales that are not reinvested in the Company's business or used to repay other indebtedness.

        The indenture governing the Second Lien Notes restricts the amount of dividends, distributions and other restricted payments Reddy Corp may make. Under the indenture, Reddy Corp is restricted from paying dividends to Reddy Holdings unless, at the time of such payment:

    no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

    the secured leverage ratio set forth in the indenture governing the Second Lien Notes is less than or equal to 6.0 to 1.0; and

    there is sufficient capacity under the buildup amount under the indenture governing the Second Lien Notes.

        The secured leverage ratio under the indenture governing the Second Lien Notes means the ratio of secured indebtedness (as defined in the indenture) to EBITDA (as defined in the indenture) for the most recent four fiscal quarters. Reddy Corp is generally required to calculate its secured leverage ratio on a pro forma basis to give effect to the incurrence and repayment of indebtedness as well as acquisitions and dispositions. As of September 30, 2011, the second lien leverage ratio was 8.7 to 1.0.

        The buildup amount equals 50% of the consolidated net income of Reddy Corp accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from April 1, 2010 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available (or, if such consolidated net income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus, the net cash proceeds to Reddy Corp of the issuance of capital stock, subject to certain exceptions, and any cash capital contribution received by Reddy Corp from its stockholder, in each case after April 1, 2010, plus the amount by which Reddy Corp indebtedness is reduced on its balance sheet as a result of the conversion or exchange of such indebtedness for capital stock, plus the net reduction in certain restricted investments made by Reddy Corp, less the amount of certain restricted payments made from time to time, including, among other things, the payment of cash dividends. Reddy Corp is not currently permitted to pay dividends under this provision.

        In addition, regardless of the leverage ratio or whether Reddy Corp could make any restricted payments under the buildup amount provision referred to above, Reddy Corp is permitted to make certain restricted payments including (1) dividend payments at any time in an aggregate amount of up to $25.0 million if no default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture, (2) the payment of interest when due on the remaining 101/2% Discount Notes and the repayment, redemption or retirement of remaining 101/2% Discount Notes from the proceeds of certain indebtedness of Reddy Corp incurred after the date of issuance of the Second Lien Notes, (3) the payment of dividends to Reddy Holdings in an amount per year not to exceed $1.0 million to pay franchise taxes and overhead expenses of Reddy Holdings and (4) the payment of dividends to Reddy Holdings in an amount per year not to exceed 6.0% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by Reddy Corp from all public equity offerings after the date of issuance of the Second Lien Notes subject to specified conditions. However, the amount of dividend payments permitted under this 6.0% provision will correspondingly reduce the amount otherwise available under the buildup amount for restricted payments, including dividends.

        101/2% Senior Discount Notes.    On October 27, 2004, Reddy Holdings issued $151 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of 101/2% Senior Discount Notes due 2012 (the "Discount Notes") in a private placement offering. The Discount Notes were subsequently registered with the SEC, effective August 26, 2005. Each Discount Note had an initial accreted value of $663.33 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity. The accreted value of each Discount Note increased from the date of issuance until November 1, 2008 at a rate of 101/2% per annum such that the accreted value equaled the stated principal amount on November 1, 2008. Thereafter, cash interest began accruing November 1, 2008 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 at a rate of 101/2% per annum. The Discount Notes mature and are payable on November 1, 2012. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, Reddy Corp paid cash dividends to Reddy Holdings in the amount of $6.7 million and $15.8 million, respectively, to fund the semi-annual interest payments on the Discount Notes. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, Reddy Corp paid cash dividends to Reddy Holdings in the amount of $0.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively, to fund the semi-annual interest payments on the Discount Notes.

        On February 22, 2010, Reddy Corp launched the Exchange Offer, offering $1,000 in aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes for each $1,000 of Discount Notes exchanged. In addition, for Discount Notes exchanged on or prior to March 5, 2010, Reddy Corp offered an early tender premium of $5 in aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes for each $1,000 of Discount Notes exchanged. In conjunction with the Exchange Offer, Reddy Corp solicited consents to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants from the indenture governing the Discount Notes. At the expiration of the Exchange Offer on March 19, 2010, approximately 92.2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Discount Notes had been tendered into the Exchange Offer. Following the final settlement of the Exchange Offer, $11.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the Discount Notes remain outstanding.

        The Discount Notes are unsecured obligations of Reddy Holdings and are:

    not guaranteed by Reddy Corp;

    senior in right of payment to all of Reddy Holdings' future subordinated indebtedness;

    equal in right of payment with any of Reddy Holdings' existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness;

    effectively subordinated to Reddy Holdings' existing and future secured debt, including the debt under the First Lien Notes, the Second Lien Notes and the credit facility, which are guaranteed on a secured basis by Reddy Holdings; and

    structurally subordinated to all obligations and preferred equity of Reddy Corp.

        As of November 1, 2010, Reddy Holdings may redeem any or all of the Discount Notes without paying any redemption premium.

        Senior Credit Facilities.    On March 15, 2010, Reddy Corp entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other entities as lenders, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the "March 2010 Credit Facility"). The March 2010 Credit Facility provided for a $35 million revolving credit facility. Under the March 2010 Credit Facility,

Reddy Corp had the right to request the aggregate commitments to be increased to $50 million provided certain conditions were met. On August 4, 2010, the aggregate commitments under the March 2010 Credit Facility were increased to $50 million.

        The March 2010 Credit Facility was an obligation of Reddy Corp and was guaranteed by Reddy Holdings. The March 2010 Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on January 31, 2014.

        Principal balances outstanding under the March 2010 Credit Facility bore interest per annum, at Reddy Corp's option, at the sum of the base rate or LIBOR plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for base rate loans was initially 3.75% and for LIBOR loans was initially 4.75%, with such applicable margins subject to reduction based upon the Company's net leverage ratio (as defined in the March 2010 Credit Facility). The Company also paid (i) a quarterly fee on the average availability under the revolving credit facility at an annual rate of 0.875%, with such availability fee subject to reduction based upon the Company's net leverage ratio, (ii) a $50,000 annual loan servicing fee, and (iii) an annual commitment fee of $0.2 million to one of the lenders.

        On October 22, 2010, Reddy Corp and the lenders party thereto amended and restated the March 2010 Credit Facility (the "New Credit Facility"). The New Credit Facility provides for a $50 million revolving credit facility. Macquarie Bank Limited ("Macquarie"), a lender under the March 2010 Credit Facility, is currently the sole lender under the New Credit Facility. On December 10, 2010, Macquarie became the successor administrative agent under the New Credit Facility.

        The New Credit Facility provides that outstanding loans will bear interest at rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 7.0% per annum or, at the option of Reddy Corp, the Base Rate, plus an applicable margin of 6.0% per annum, the relevant margin being the applicable margin. Swing line loans will bear interest at the Base Rate plus the applicable margin. LIBOR and Base Rates are subject to floors of 1.5% and 2.5%, respectively. Interest on LIBOR loans is payable upon maturity of the LIBOR loan or on the last day of the quarter if the term of the LIBOR loan exceeds 90 days. Reddy Corporation will pay an anniversary fee on each anniversary of the effectiveness of the New Credit Facility equal to 1.0% of the commitments under the New Credit Facility on the first anniversary and increasing on each subsequent anniversary by 0.5%, as well as a $50,000 quarterly loan servicing fee. Additionally, for each full calendar year beginning with 2011, if the average balance outstanding under the New Credit Facility is less than $12.5 million for the calendar year, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders an amount equal to (x) the difference between the average balance outstanding and $12.5 million multiplied by (y) the average interest rate for LIBOR Loans during that calendar year (determined based on average one month LIBOR rates as of the end of each quarter during such calendar year). The New Credit Facility will mature on October 22, 2014. At September 30, 2011, the Company had $14.5 million outstanding and $35.5 million of availability under the New Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under on the New Credit Facility as of September 30, 2011 was 7.4%.

        The obligations under the New Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Reddy Holdings and will also be guaranteed by any future domestic subsidiaries of Reddy Corp, subject to certain exceptions.

        The New Credit Facility does not require any scheduled principal payments prior to its stated maturity date. Subject to certain conditions, mandatory repayments of the New Credit Facility (and

mandatory commitment reductions of the New Credit Facility) are required to be made with portions of the proceeds from (1) asset sales, (2) the issuance of debt securities and (3) insurance and condemnation awards, subject to various exceptions. In the event of a change in control, as defined in the New Credit Facility, an event of default will occur under the New Credit Facility.

        The New Credit Facility also contains affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Reddy Corp and its future subsidiaries, subject to materiality and other qualifications, baskets and exceptions. The affirmative and negative covenants are substantially consistent with those contained in the March 2010 Credit Facility. The negative covenants, among other things, restrict the ability of Reddy Corp to:

    incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;

    create liens;

    make investments;

    pay dividends or make other restricted payments;

    consolidate or merge or acquire or dispose of assets;

    enter into transactions with affiliates;

    permit consensual encumbrances or restrictions on Reddy Corp's restricted subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends or make certain other payments to Reddy Corp; and

    prepay certain indebtedness, including the First Lien Notes and the Second Lien Notes.

        Under the restricted payments covenant in the New Credit Facility, Reddy Corp is generally prohibited from paying dividends and otherwise transferring assets to Reddy Holdings. Reddy Corp. is permitted to pay certain limited dividends to Reddy Holdings, the proceeds of which must be used for specific purposes, such as to maintain Reddy Holdings' corporate existence, repurchase the Discount Notes and pay interest on the Discount Notes. Reddy Corp may also distribute certain investments to Reddy Holdings.

        In addition, Reddy Corp may also pay dividends to Reddy Holdings for specified purposes, including the payment of cash interest on the Discount Notes. The New Credit Facility (and the March 2010 Credit Facility, while it was in effect) precludes Reddy Corp from declaring any dividends if an event of default under the credit facility has occurred and is continuing. In particular, it will be an event of default under the New Credit Facility if Reddy Corp's leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of the outstanding balance of the New Credit Facility on the last day of each quarter to EBITDA (as defined in the New Credit Facility) over the preceding four quarters) exceeds 2.50:1.00 as of the end of any quarter. The New Credit Facility requires the maintenance of a minimum liquidity amount of $5 million at all times. Liquidity for purposes of this covenant is defined as the sum of available borrowing capacity under the New Credit Facility and unrestricted cash held by Reddy Corp. The New Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. Reddy Holdings guarantees the New Credit Facility and such guarantee is collateralized by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of Reddy Holdings. At September 30, 2011, Reddy Corp was in compliance with the ratio requirements included in the New Credit Facility.

6. Revolving Credit Facility and Long-Term Obligations (Continued)

        Obligations under the New Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events of default as defined in the credit agreement, including failure to pay any principal when due and payable, failure to pay interest within five (5) days after due, failure to comply with any covenant, representation or condition of any loan document, any change of control, cross-defaults, and certain other events as set forth in the credit agreement, with grace periods in some cases.

        An acceleration of the indebtedness under the New Credit Facility would be an event of default under the First Lien Notes and Second Lien Notes if the outstanding balance of the New Credit Facility at the time of acceleration is over $10 million.

        Old Senior Credit Facilities.    On August 12, 2005, the Company amended and restated its credit facilities with a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other entities as lenders, including Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, as Administrative Agent, Wachovia Bank, N.A., JP Morgan Chase, N.A., CIBC World Markets Corp., Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc. and Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. (the "Old Credit Facilities"). The Old Credit Facilities provided for a $60 million revolving credit facility (the "Old Revolving Credit Facility") and a $240 million term loan (the "Old Term Loan"). The Old Credit Facilities were obligations of Reddy Corp and were guaranteed by Reddy Holdings. The Old Revolving Credit Facility and Old Term Loan were scheduled to mature on August 12, 2010 and August 12, 2012, respectively. On March 15, 2010, the Old Credit Facilities were terminated and all amounts owed thereunder were repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the First Lien Notes.

        Principal balances outstanding under the Old Credit Facility bore interest per annum, at the Company's option, at the sum of the base rate plus 0.75% or LIBOR plus 1.75%. The base rate was defined as the greater of the prime rate (as announced from time to time by the Administrative Agent) or the federal funds rate plus 0.5%. Interest on base rate loans was payable on the last day of each quarter. Interest on LIBOR loans was payable upon maturity of the LIBOR loan or on the last day of the quarter if the term of the LIBOR loan exceeded 90 days. Reddy Corp also paid a quarterly fee on the average availability under the revolving credit facility at an annual rate of 0.5%.

        The Old Revolving Credit Facility and Old Term Loan did not require any scheduled principal payments prior to their stated maturity dates. The Old Credit Facilities contained financial covenants, which include the maintenance of certain financial ratios, as defined in the Credit Facilities, and were collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets.

        Debt Refinance Costs.    During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded expense of $0.3 million and $6.5 million, respectively, for costs incurred in connection with refinancing activities related to its debt. Approximately $5.8 million of the expense incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to the exchange of the Discount Notes for the Second Lien Notes. The exchange was accounted for as a modification of debt.

        Letters of Credit.    The New Credit Facility does not provide for the issuance of standby letters of credit. In March 2010, Reddy Corp entered into a separate letter of credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "LC Facility"). Letters of credit issued under the LC Facility are cash collateralized at 102% of the amount of the letter of credit and are used primarily to secure certain insurance and operating lease obligations. The cash collateral

provided under the LC Facility is maintained in a restricted account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and is reported as "Restricted Cash" in the consolidated balance sheets.

        Fair Value of Debt Instruments.    At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of the Company's long-term debt, was $379.0 million and $437.0 million, respectively, while the book value was $450.8 million and $450.7 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company's debt is primarily based on quoted market prices for the debt.

7. Financial Derivative Instruments

        Diesel Hedging Agreement.    On March 25, 2011, the Company entered into a hedge to fix the price per gallon of a portion of the Company's diesel fuel requirements (the "Diesel Hedge"). The Diesel Hedge began April 1, 2011 and expires on December 28, 2011. The notional amount of gallons hedged changes on a monthly basis to match anticipated utilization and totals 1.2 million gallons. The Company will pay a weighted average fixed price of $3.17 per gallon (wholesale basis) and receive an amount equal to a wholesale index rate. Net payable or receivable amounts are settled monthly. On May 6, 2011, the Company entered into an additional hedge to fix the price per gallon of a portion of the Company's diesel fuel requirements (the "Second Diesel Hedge"). The Second Diesel Hedge began June 1, 2011 and expires on December 31, 2012. The notional amount of gallons hedged changes on a monthly basis to match anticipated utilization and totals 1.1 million gallons. The Company will pay a weighted average fixed price of $3.04 per gallon (wholesale basis) and receive an amount equal to a wholesale index rate. Net payable or receivable amounts are settled monthly. The Company uses the hedges to minimize the risk of rising fuel prices. The hedges are not for trading purposes and are accounted for as economic hedges and were not designated as hedging instruments.

        The Company carries the hedges at fair value on its balance sheet and considers its own credit risk in the valuation of the diesel hedges. Changes in the fair value of the hedge are recorded in "Cost of sales (excluding depreciation)" in the consolidated statements of operations and in the operating activities section of cash flows. Payments made or received under the hedges are included in the caption "Cost of Sales (excluding depreciation)" on the consolidated statements of operations and unrealized gains and losses are presented in the operating activities section of the statements of cash flows.

        The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification establishes a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1:   Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

 

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3:

 

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

7. Financial Derivative Instruments (Continued)

        The Diesel Hedges are a Level 2 fair value measure and are valued using the income approach to calculate the present value of the future cash flows expected to be paid under the hedge. The value of the fixed leg is the present value of the known fixed payments discounted at a market interest rate. The value of the floating leg is the present value of the projected floating payments based on the forward diesel prices discounted at a market interest rate.

        The following table presents the location of all liabilities associated with the Company's derivative instruments within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:

        Collateral Requirements and Counterparty Risk.    The diesel hedges required the Company to provide cash collateral in the amount of $0.6 million, which remained outstanding as of September 30, 2011. In addition, the Company is required to provide collateral if the market prices fall below the average hedge prices. As of September 30, 2011, the Company has provided cash collateral of $0.3 million related to this requirement.

        There were no derivative instruments outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

        The Company is exposed to risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the diesel hedges. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty.

8. Stock-based Compensation

        On August 8, 2005, the Board of Directors and stockholders of Reddy Holdings approved the Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. Long-Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (the "Plan"). On April 29, 2010 the stockholders of Reddy Holdings approved an amendment to the Plan, which increased the number of shares of common stock available to be issued to employees, directors and certain third parties in connection with various incentive awards, including stock options, restricted shares and restricted share units to 4,750,000 shares.

        The Plan provides for awards of restricted shares subject to restrictions on transferability and other restrictions, if any, imposed by the Compensation Committee. Such restrictions lapse under circumstances as determined by the Compensation Committee, including based upon a specified period of continued employment or upon the achievement of established performance criteria. Restricted shares have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote restricted shares and to receive dividends. Unvested restricted shares are generally forfeited upon termination of employment during the applicable restriction period as provided for in the related grant documents. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company granted 343,750 restricted shares to employees with a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.75. One-third of the restricted shares vest, contingent on the employee's continuous service to the Company, on each of the following dates: January 1, 2012, January 1, 2013, and January 1, 2014. No grants were made to employees during the three month period ended September 30, 2011. The fair value of each restricted share is equal the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The aggregate grant date fair value is recognized as compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period, adjusted for estimated forfeitures.

        The Plan provides for option grants with terms, including exercise price and the time and method of exercise, set by the Compensation Committee. However, the exercise price of options is not permitted to be less than the fair market value of the shares at the time of grant and the term is not permitted to be longer than ten years from the date of grant of the options. Stock options for 573,300 shares of common stock were granted during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. The options have seven-year terms and one-third of the options vest, contingent on the employee's continuous service to the Company, on each of the following dates: January 1, 2012, January 1, 2013, and January 1, 2014. The options granted during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 had weighted average exercise prices of $2.75 per share. No grants were made to employees during the three month period ended September 30, 2011.

8. Stock-based Compensation (Continued)

        The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized using a straight-line method over the shorter of the vesting period or required service period adjusted for estimated forfeitures. The following table sets forth the information about the weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the weighted average assumptions used for such grants.

 
  Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2011
 

Weighted average grant date fair value

    $1.81  

Weighted average assumptions used:

       
 

Expected volatility

    110.3%  
 

Expected lives

    3 years  
 

Risk-free interest rates

    1.21%  
 

Expected dividend yield

    0.00%  

        Expected volatility is based on an analysis of historical volatility of the Company's common stock. Expected lives of options are determined based on projections of option exercise patterns. Risk-free interest rates are determined using the implied yield currently available for zero coupon U.S. treasury issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options. The expected dividend yield is based on the September 15, 2008 announcement that the Company's quarterly cash dividends had been suspended indefinitely and the Company does not currently anticipate paying dividends in the future.

        Total compensation expense associated with the Plan was $0.6 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and $1.8 million and $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Such compensation expense was recorded in "Operating expenses" in the consolidated statements of operations. Compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes a $0.2 million expense for stock awards to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2011, 743,708 shares were available for grant under the Plan.

9. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

        The computation of net income (loss) per share is based on net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Restricted shares include rights to receive dividends that are not subject to the risk of forfeiture even if the underlying restricted shares on which the dividends were paid do not vest. Since restricted shares do not include an obligation to share in losses, they are excluded from the basic net income (loss) per share calculation for loss periods. Accordingly, 604,642 and 407,613 shares were excluded from the computation of basic net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. However, these restricted shares were included in the computation of basic net income per share for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

10. Income Taxes

        The Company's effective tax rate of (5.7%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 differs from the Federal statutory income tax rate of 35% due to state income and margin taxes, the effect of permanent differences and a change in the Company's valuation allowance recorded against certain federal and state deferred tax assets. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded an additional valuation allowance totaling $21.7 million relating to federal and state deferred assets. The total valuation allowance of $25.6 million is comprised of a $0.3 million of allowance against certain state NOL carryforwards and a $25.3 million allowance against the remaining federal and state deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the recorded deferred tax assets to the amount management believes the Company is more-likely-than-not to realize.

        Reddy Corp's effective tax rate of 35.7%, calculated on a stand-alone basis, differs from the Federal statutory tax rate of 35% due to state income and margin taxes and the effect of permanent differences.

        The amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions was $1.3 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and included accrued interest and penalties of $0.3 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The total amount of interest and penalties, net of federal benefit, recognized in the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was immaterial.

        As a result of net operating loss carryforwards, the Company's tax years from 1998 through 2010 remain open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and/or certain state taxing authorities.

11. Other Charges

        In connection with the Company's ongoing remediation efforts related to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting identified in 2010, we determined during the third quarter of 2011 that the recorded net book value of our equipment and machinery was overstated by approximately $1.9 million.

        We have considered the impact of this error, including the assessment of any potential impact on prior periods and loan covenants and concluded that the error was not material to our financial statements for any prior period. As the amounts involved are not material to the Company's projected annual results for the year ending December 31, 2011, or to the trend of earnings, the Company recorded the $1.9 million cumulative effect of this error as an out of period charge in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 as "Impairment of long-lived assets".

12. Related Parties

        The Company has entered into an agreement with an affiliate in which the Company has a cost method investment. Under the agreement the Company purchases equipment from a third party vendor on behalf of its affiliate and extends payment terms to the affiliate that are comparable to those the Company receives from its vendor. The Company has financed the purchase of approximately $2.6 million of equipment under this agreement, of which approximately $0.6 million has been repaid through September 30, 2011.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

        The following is a discussion of the Company's significant legal matters. The Company is involved in various claims, suits, investigations, and legal proceedings. The Company accrues a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no accruals had been made in connection with the matters discussed below.

Antitrust Matters

        In March 2008, the Company and certain of its employees, including members of its management, received subpoenas issued by a federal grand jury sitting in the Eastern District of Michigan seeking documents and information in connection with an investigation by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") into possible antitrust violations in the packaged ice industry. In addition, on March 5, 2008, federal officials executed a search warrant at the Company's corporate office in Dallas, Texas. Current and former employees were also subpoenaed to testify and testified before a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Michigan and before a federal grand jury in the Southern District of Ohio. On October 29, 2010, the Company was informed that the Antitrust Division of the DOJ would take no action against the Company or any of its employees in connection with its investigation of the packaged ice industry. In January 2011, counsel for the Company confirmed that the Antitrust Division of the DOJ has formally closed its investigation of the packaged ice industry.

        In March 2008, June 2008, and June 2009, the Company was served with antitrust civil investigative demands ("CIDs") by the Offices of the Attorneys General of the States of Florida, Arizona and Michigan, respectively, requesting the production of documents and information relating to an

investigation of agreements in restraint of trade and/or price fixing with respect to the market for packaged ice. The Company has been advised that these CIDs are related to a multi-state antitrust investigation of the packaged ice industry. The Company is cooperating with the investigation and has complied with all requests for documents and information regarding these matters. The Company may in the future receive additional civil investigative demands or similar information requests from states participating in the multi-state investigation or conducting their own investigations.

        At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of that investigation, the possible loss or possible range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of that investigation or any potential effect the investigation may have on the Company, its employees or operations.

        Beginning in 2008 a number of lawsuits, including putative class action lawsuits, were filed against the Company, Reddy Ice Corporation, Home City Ice Company, Arctic Glacier Income Fund, Arctic Glacier, Inc. and Arctic Glacier International, Inc., in various federal and state courts in multiple jurisdictions alleging violations of federal and state antitrust laws and related claims and seeking damages and injunctive relief. One of the state court cases filed against the Company was dismissed. Pursuant to an Order from the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, the other civil actions have been transferred and consolidated for pretrial proceedings in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Home City entered into a settlement agreement with the direct purchaser plaintiffs that was approved by the Court on February 22, 2011. On March 30, 2011, Arctic Glacier announced that it had entered into a proposed settlement agreement with the direct purchaser plaintiffs. Preliminary approval of that settlement was granted on July 20, 2011, and a final fairness hearing was held on October 28, 2011. The Court has taken the motion for final approval under advisement. Discovery is ongoing regarding the claims asserted on behalf of direct purchasers against the Company. On March 11, 2011, the Court entered an Order granting in part and denying in part motions to dismiss the indirect purchaser claims. On May 25, 2011, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint asserting violations of the antitrust laws of various states and related claims. The Company and the other defendants filed motions to dismiss the Consolidated Class Action Complaint. Those motions were heard on October 28, 2011, and were taken under advisement by the Court.

        On March 1, 2010, a putative class action Statement of Claim was filed against the Company in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Canada alleging violations of Part VI of the Competition Act and seeking general damages, punitive and exemplary damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and costs. On March 8, 2010, a putative class action Statement of Claim was filed against the Company in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary, in Canada, alleging violations of Part VI of the Competition Act and seeking general damages, special and pecuniary damages, punitive and exemplary damages, interest and costs.

        An agreement has been reached to resolve the class actions filed in Canada against Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier, Inc. The agreement provides that Arctic Glacier will pay CDN $2,000,000, all claims asserted against Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier in both Ontario and Alberta will be dismissed, and Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier will be granted full and final releases with regard to those claims. Reddy Ice is not making any payment in connection with this settlement. The agreement is subject to the execution of final settlement documents and court approval.

        One direct action lawsuit was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan asserting claims based on alleged violations of federal and state antitrust laws, RICO and tortious interference and seeking damages, civil penalties and injunctive relief. The defendants filed motions to dismiss that case. On May 29, 2009, the Court dismissed all claims against us in that lawsuit. On June 29, 2009, the plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration, and on July 17, 2009 the Court reversed, in part, its May 29, 2009 order, reinstating only the RICO claim against us. The dismissal of the remaining claims was not affected. On August 10, 2009, the Company filed an answer to the reinstated claim. Discovery is ongoing in that matter.

        On April 20, 2011, an Order was entered unsealing a Qui Tam complaint filed on June 25, 2008, by Martin McNulty, on behalf of the United States, against Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc., Reddy Ice Corporation, Arctic Glacier Income Fund, Arctic Glacier, Inc., Arctic Glacier International, Inc., and Home City Ice Company, Inc. The complaint alleges violations of the federal False Claims Act by presentation of false claims, making or using a false record or statement, and conspiracy to defraud, and seeks damages, civil penalties, attorney fees and costs. The Government has elected not to intervene in that case and the Company and the other defendants have filed motions to dismiss that complaint. Those motions are set to be heard on November 16, 2011.

        The Company intends to vigorously defend the pending lawsuits. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, the possible loss or possible range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of these lawsuits or any potential effect they may have on the Company or its operations.

Stockholder Litigation

        Beginning on August 8, 2008, putative class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan asserting claims under the federal securities laws against the Company and certain of its current or former senior officers. On July 17, 2009, the Court consolidated the actions and appointed a lead plaintiff and interim lead plaintiff's counsel. The lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint on November 2, 2009. That complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of an alleged class of purchasers of the Company's common stock and alleges that the defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose the existence of, and the Company's alleged participation in, an alleged antitrust conspiracy in the packaged ice industry. The Company and the other defendants have filed an answer in that case, a briefing schedule relating to class certification has been entered, and discovery is ongoing.

        Two stockholder derivative actions have been filed on the Company's behalf in state district court in Dallas County, Texas, naming as defendants, among others, certain current and former officers and members of the Company's Board of Directors. Those cases have been consolidated in the 68th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas. On August 1, 2011, the Court granted in part and denied in part Special Exceptions filed by the defendants. The Company filed a petition with the Court of Appeals seeking a writ of mandamus relating to the denial of certain Special Exceptions. On September 1, 2011, a Third Amended Consolidated Shareholder Derivative Petition was filed in that matter. That Third Amended Petition asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, and gross mismanagement and seeks damages, equitable relief, attorney fees, expenses and costs. On October 10, 2011, the petition for a writ of mandamus was conditionally granted by the

Court of Appeals and the trial court was ordered to grant the Special Exception relating to demand futility. The plaintiffs filed a Motion for Rehearing, which was denied on November 7, 2011. The trial of that case is currently set for March 20, 2012.

        The Company intends to vigorously defend the pending lawsuits. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, the possible loss or possible range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of these lawsuits or any potential effect they may have on the Company or its operations.

Other Matters

        The Company is also involved in various other claims, lawsuits and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including intellectual property matters. There are uncertainties inherent in the ultimate outcome of such matters and it is difficult to determine the ultimate costs that we may incur. We believe the resolution of such other ordinary course uncertainties and the incurrence of such costs will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        As a result of the decline in the Company's stock price and the reduction in its stockholders' equity resulting from its decline in earnings, the Company was notified by the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") in September of 2011 that it was not in compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards. On November 7th, 2011, the Company filed a plan with the NYSE to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards within 18 months. If the plan is accepted by the NYSE, the NYSE will monitor the Company's performance under the plan on a quarterly basis. To the extent (i) the NYSE does not accept the Company's plan, (ii) the Company cannot meet the applicable standards within the 18 month period if its plan is accepted, or (iii) the NYSE determines the Company is not satisfying its obligations under the plan to achieve compliance, the Company's stock could be delisted from NYSE.

Except as required by law, we are not obligated to publicly release any revisions to these forward looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations are discussed elsewhere in this report.

General

        Overview.    We are the largest manufacturer and distributor of packaged ice in the United States and currently serve a variety of customers in 34 states and the District of Columbia. Our business consists of:

    the traditional manufacture and delivery of ice from a central point of production to the point of sale; and

    the installation and operation of The Ice Factory®, our proprietary in-store bagging ("ISB") equipment located in high volume locations that produces, packages and stores ice through an automated, self-contained system.

        Seasonality.    The packaged ice business is highly seasonal, characterized by peak demand during the warmer months of May through September, with an extended peak selling season in the southern United States. Approximately 71%, 69% and 69% of our annual revenues occurred during the second and third calendar quarters in each of 2010, 2009 and 2008. As a result of seasonal revenue declines and a less than proportional decline in expenses during the first and fourth quarters, we typically experience lower margins resulting in losses during these periods.

        Revenues.    Our revenues primarily represent sales of packaged ice and packaged ice bags for use in our ISB equipment. There is no right of return with respect to these products. A portion of our revenues also represents fees earned under management agreements for ISB systems located outside our primary territories that are recognized as earned under contract terms.

        Cost of Sales (Excluding Depreciation).    Our cost of sales (excluding depreciation) consists of costs related to the manufacturing and distribution of our products, including, in particular:

    manufacturing and distribution labor costs;

    raw materials (primarily polyethylene-based plastic bags);

    product delivery expenses, including fuel and vehicle rental expense related to products delivered by our own distribution network, as well as fees paid to distributors who deliver ice to our customers on our behalf;

    utility expenses (primarily electricity used in connection with the manufacturing, storage and distribution processes); and

    ISB system costs associated with customer service representatives and machine technicians (ISB systems generally do not increase our plant occupancy, delivery or utility costs).

        Depreciation Expense Related to Cost of Sales and Depreciation and Amortization.    Depreciation and amortization are divided into two line items: depreciation expense related to cost of sales and depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation expense related to cost of sales consists of depreciation expense for our production and distribution equipment. Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation and amortization expense for our selling, general and administrative functions.

33


Table of Contents

        Operating Expenses.    Our operating expenses are costs associated with selling, general and administrative functions. These costs include executive officers' compensation, office and administrative salaries, insurance, legal and other professional services and costs associated with leasing office space. Labor costs, including associated payroll taxes and benefit costs, but excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense, included in operating expenses represented approximately 8% and 9% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

        Cost of antitrust investigations and related litigation.    Costs related to the current antitrust investigations and related litigation, net of insurance recoveries, are composed primarily of legal fees, document collection costs and the fees of other experts and consultants. These costs have been recognized and paid by Reddy Holdings.

        Facilities.    At September 30, 2011, we owned or operated 58 ice manufacturing facilities, 77 distribution centers and approximately 3,500 Ice Factories. As of the same date, we had an aggregate daily ice manufacturing capacity of approximately 17,000 tons.

        Revenues:    Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased $6.2 million from the three months ended September 30, 2010. The low single digits percentage increase in packaged ice volume sales is primarily due to acquisitions, as well as improved weather patterns in most of our Western and Mid-Western markets and the addition of new customers through organic growth, partially offset by adverse weather in our Eastern markets, and weakening economic conditions impacting same store sales.

        Cost of sales (excluding depreciation):    Cost of sales (excluding depreciation) for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased $6.0 million from the three months ended September 30, 2010.

This increase in cost of sales is primarily due to increased volume sales, as well as unit cost increases of fuel and plastic bags.

        Depreciation expense related to cost of sales:    Depreciation expense related to cost of sales increased $2.1 million as a result of a change in accounting estimate to eliminate salvage value on certain equipment in the fourth quarter of 2010, as well as new production and distribution equipment placed in service in 2010 and the first nine months of 2011, partially offset by dispositions and assets becoming fully depreciated.

        Operating expenses:    Operating expenses increased $0.4 million from the three months ended September 30, 2010 to the three months ended September 30, 2011. This increase is primarily due to a $0.6 million increase in employee labor costs related to acquired operations, $0.2 million increase in non-cash stock compensation, and $0.1 million increase in bad debt expense, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in miscellaneous operating expenses and a $0.3 million decrease in employee benefits costs.

        Depreciation and amortization expense:    Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.2 million as a result of dispositions and assets becoming fully depreciated, partially offset by new equipment placed in service and the recognition of certain intangible assets in connection with acquisitions in 2010 and the first nine months of 2011.

        Loss on dispositions of assets:    A $0.6 million loss on disposition of assets was recognized on the disposition of certain excess assets during the three months ended September 30, 2011. A $1.0 million loss on disposition of assets was recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2010. We are continuing to evaluate our facilities and other equipment assets and expect to make certain disposals in the future. Additional gains or losses on dispositions may occur in future periods.

        Impairment of long-lived assets:    Impairment charges of $2.0 million and $0.5 million were recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Approximately $1.9 million of the 2011 impairment charge relates to the correction of errors identified through our 2011 fixed asset inventory counts. Deterioration of current market conditions for our assets or changes in facility operations could trigger additional impairments in future periods.

        Acquisition expenses:    We incurred $1.7 million of acquisition expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2011. Substantially all of these expenses were in connection with the Company's evaluation of a strategic merger opportunity within the packaged ice industry. While this evaluation is ongoing, no agreement has been reached and there can be no assurance that an agreement will be reached. Acquisition expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.4 million.

Table of Contents

        Cost (insurance recoveries) related to antitrust investigations and related litigation:    During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of legal fees and other expenses associated with the antitrust investigation conducted by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice and the related litigation. We received a $5.0 million settlement in respect of claimed cost reimbursements from one of our insurance carriers during the three months ended September 30, 2010. We became aware of and began incurring expenses related to the investigation in March of 2008. These costs have been recognized and paid by Reddy Holdings.

        Interest expense, net:    Net interest expense increased $0.6 million from the three months ended September 30, 2010 to the three months ended September 30, 2011. This change is related to additional interest associated with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The amount of net interest expense recognized by Reddy Holdings was $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

        Debt refinance costs:    Costs of $0.3 million were incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2010 in connection with refinancing activities related to our debt. No such costs were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

        Income tax (expense) benefit:    The effective tax rate decreased from 34.2% during the three months ended September 30, 2010 to (16.6%) during the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily as a result of the effects of a valuation allowance recorded against certain federal and state deferred tax assets.

        Revenues:    Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $13.4 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The low single digits percentage increase in packaged ice volume sales is primarily due to acquisitions, as well as improved weather patterns in most of our markets and the addition of new customers through organic growth, partially offset by the effects of lost customers and reduced pricing as a result of increased competitive activity and weakening economic conditions impacting same store sales.

        Cost of sales (excluding depreciation):    Cost of sales (excluding depreciation) increased $13.0 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase in cost of sales is primarily due to increased volume sales, as well as unit cost increases of fuel and plastic bags.

        Significant expenses included in cost of sales include the following:

        Depreciation expense related to cost of sales:    Depreciation expense related to cost of sales increased $6.4 million as a result of a change in accounting estimate to eliminate salvage value on certain equipment in the fourth quarter of 2010, as well as new production and distribution equipment placed in service in 2010 and the first nine months of 2011, partially offset by dispositions and assets becoming fully depreciated.

        Operating expenses:    Operating expenses of $41.8 million incurred in the nine month ended September 30, 2011 were in line with those incurred in the same period of the prior year. A $0.9 million decrease in employee benefits costs, as well as $0.5 million decrease in professional services and $0.2 million decrease in customer relations expense was offset by a $0.7 million increase in labor expense related to acquired operations, a $0.4 million increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, as well as $0.2 million increase in building rents and a $0.2 million increase bad debt expense.

        Depreciation expense and amortization expense:    Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.7 million as a result of new equipment placed in service and the recognition of certain intangible assets in connection with acquisitions in 2010 and the first nine months of 2011, partially offset by dispositions and assets becoming fully depreciated.

        Loss on dispositions of assets:    A $0.5 million and $2.4 million loss on disposition of assets was recognized on the disposition of certain excess assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As a result of a sustained focus on operational efficiency, we are continuing to evaluate our facilities and other equipment assets and expect to dispose of certain assets in the future. Additional gains or losses on dispositions may occur in future periods.

Table of Contents

        Impairment of long-lived assets:    We recognized an impairment charge of $2.7 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 as a result of impairing certain fixed assets and real estate identified for disposition. Approximately $1.9 million of the 2011 impairment charge relates to the correction of errors identified through our 2011 fixed asset inventory counts. Impairment charges of $0.8 million were recognized during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 to adjust the carrying value of a facility which was held for sale to its estimated market value. As a result of a sustained focus on operational efficiency, we are continuing to evaluate our operating facilities and expect to dispose of additional real estate in the future. Deterioration of current market conditions for our assets or changes in facility operations could trigger additional impairments in future periods.

        Acquisition expenses:    We incurred $4.1 million of expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 in connection with our current acquisition activities and on-going negotiations. Approximately $3.7 million of these expenses were in connection with the Company's evaluation of a strategic merger opportunity within the packaged ice industry. While this evaluation is ongoing, no agreement has been reached and there can be no assurance that an agreement will be reached. Acquisition expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.6 million.

        Cost (insurance recoveries) of antitrust investigations and related litigation:    During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred $2.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of legal fees and other expenses associated with the antitrust investigation being conducted by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice and the related litigation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we received a $5.0 million settlement in respect of claimed cost reimbursements from our insurance carriers. These costs have been recognized and paid by Reddy Holdings.

        Interest expense, net:    Net interest expense increased $8.2 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This change is related to increased interest costs associated with our new 11.25% Senior Secured Notes and 13.25% Senior Secured notes, as well as additional interest associated with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The amount of net interest expense recognized by Reddy Holdings was $1.0 million and $4.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

        Debt refinance costs:    Costs of $6.5 million were incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 in connection with the refinancing of substantially all of our outstanding debt in March 2010 and consist of certain fees and expenses paid to third parties in connection with the transactions, as well as the write-off of $0.3 million of deferred debt issue costs associated with debt that was repaid in the transactions.

        Income tax (expense) benefit:    The effective tax rate increased from 34.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to (5.7%) during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of the effects of the valuation allowance recorded against certain federal and state deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        We intend to fund our ongoing capital and working capital requirements as well as debt service, including our internal growth and acquisitions, through a combination of cash flows from operations, and borrowings under our existing credit facilities, operating leases and other potential financing arrangements.

        We generate cash from the sale of packaged ice through traditional delivery methods, by which we manufacture, package and store ice at a central facility and transport it to our customers' retail locations when needed, and through Ice Factories, which manufacture, package and store ice in our customers' retail locations. Our primary uses of cash are (a) cost of sales, (b) operating expenses, (c) debt service, (d) capital expenditures related to replacing and modernizing the capital equipment in

38


Table of Contents


our traditional ice plants and acquiring and installing additional Ice Factories, (e) acquisitions, and (f) investments. We have been and may continue to be required to use substantial amounts of cash to pay expenses relating to the investigations by various state agencies and related civil litigation. See Part II—Item 1. Historically, we have financed our capital and working capital requirements, including our acquisitions, through a combination of cash flows from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and operating leases.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, capital expenditures totaled $13.2 million. During this period, reimbursements of the cost of equipment acquired in 2010 and 2011 and subsequently placed under operating leases, net of the cost of equipment acquired in 2011, equaled $1.3 million. As we consolidate acquisitions into the existing Company infrastructure, we have identified non-core and excess assets which can be disposed of, such as real estate and machinery and equipment. From time to time, we also dispose of other assets which are no longer useful in our operations. As a result of dispositions of these non-core and excess assets, we realized proceeds of approximately $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Our net capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $11.2 million.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we completed the acquisition of nine ice companies for a total cash purchase price of approximately $13.3 million. We will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities as they become available. In conjunction with these evaluations, we will consider our liquidity, availability under our credit facility, mandatory principal repayments under our debt agreements and availability of other capital resources.

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

        Net cash used in operating activities was $17.3 million for nine months ended September 30, 2011 versus net cash provided by operating activities of $18.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in cash used in operating activities of $35.8 million was a result of a $15.3 million increase in net loss, adjusted for non-cash and non-operating items, and a $20.5 million decrease in cash provided by working capital primarily due to a decrease in cash provided by changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses driven by changes in accrued interest, and an increase in accounts receivable associated with increased sales.

        Net cash used in investing activities was $28.6 million and $52.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to a $15.2 million decrease in net property and equipment additions and a $7.3 million decrease in the funding of the restricted cash balance used to collateralize our outstanding standby letters of credit subsequent to the termination of our old credit facilities in the first quarter of 2010, as well as a $2.2 million decrease in purchases of investments.

        Net cash provided by financing activities was $14.5 million and $41.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease of $27.2 million is due to the refinancing of substantially all of our debt in the first nine months of 2010, which resulted in the net issuance of $60.0 million of additional debt, as well as approximately $18.3 million of costs incurred for fees and expenses associated with the refinancing transactions. This decrease was partially offset by net draws of $14.5 million under our revolving credit facility in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We did not utilize our revolving credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Long-term Debt and Other Obligations

        Overview.    At September 30, 2011, we had $465.3 million of total debt outstanding as follows:

    $300.0 million of Reddy Corp's 11.25% senior secured notes due 2015;

39


Table of Contents

    $139.0 million of Reddy Corp's 13.25% senior secured notes due 2015 (net of unamortized early tender premium of $0.6 million);

    $11.7 million of Reddy Holdings' 101/2% senior discount notes due November 1, 2012;

    $14.5 million under Reddy Corp's revolving credit facility; and

    $0.1 million in other notes payable.

        11.25% Senior Secured Notes.    On March 15, 2010, Reddy Corp issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the "First Lien Notes") in a private placement offering. The First Lien Notes were subsequently registered within the SEC effective August 2, 2010. Cash interest accrues on the First Lien Notes at a rate of 11.25% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15. The First Lien Notes mature on March 15, 2015. The proceeds of the offering were used to repay certain of Reddy Corp's preexisting debt (see "Old Senior Credit Facilities" below), pay fees and expenses related to the transactions and provide the Company with cash for future use.

        The First Lien Notes are senior secured obligations of Reddy Corp and are:

    guaranteed by Reddy Holdings;

    secured on a first-priority basis by liens on substantially all of the assets of Reddy Corp and Reddy Holdings;

    senior in right of payment to all of Reddy Corp's and Reddy Holdings' future subordinated indebtedness; and

    effectively senior to all of Reddy Corp's and Reddy Holdings' existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness.

        The First Lien Notes include customary covenants that restrict, among other things, Reddy Corp's and its future subsidiaries' ability to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock, pay dividends or redeem, repurchase or retire its capital stock or subordinated indebtedness, make certain investments, create liens, enter into arrangements that restrict dividends from its subsidiaries, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets or enter into various transactions with affiliates. From and after March 15, 2013, Reddy Corp may redeem any or all of the First Lien Notes by paying a redemption premium, which is initially 5.625% of the principal amount of the First Lien Notes and declines to 0% for the period commencing on March 15, 2014 and thereafter. Prior to March 15, 2013, Reddy Corp may redeem any or all of the First Lien Notes by paying a "make-whole" redemption premium. If Reddy Corp experiences a change of control, Reddy Corp will be required to make an offer to repurchase the First Lien Notes at a price equal to 101% of their accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Reddy Corp may also be required to make an offer to purchase the First Lien Notes with proceeds of asset sales that are not reinvested in the Company's business or used to repay other indebtedness.

        The indenture governing the First Lien Notes restricts the amount of dividends, distributions and other restricted payments Reddy Corp may make. Under the indenture, Reddy Corp is restricted from paying dividends to Reddy Holdings unless, at the time of such payment:

    no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

    the first lien leverage ratio set forth in the indenture governing the First Lien Notes is less than or equal to 3.5 to 1.0; and

    there is sufficient capacity under the buildup amount under the indenture governing the First Lien Notes.

40


Table of Contents

        The first lien leverage ratio under the indenture governing the First Lien Notes means the ratio of first lien indebtedness (as defined in the indenture) to EBITDA (as defined in the indenture) for the most recent four fiscal quarters. Reddy Corp is generally required to calculate its first lien leverage ratio on a pro forma basis to give effect to the incurrence and repayment of indebtedness as well as acquisitions and dispositions. As of September 30, 2011, the first lien leverage ratio was 6.0 to 1.0.

        The buildup amount equals 50% of the consolidated net income of Reddy Corp accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from April 1, 2010 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available (or, if such consolidated net income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus, the net cash proceeds to Reddy Corp of the issuance of capital stock, subject to certain exceptions, and any cash capital contribution received by Reddy Corp from its stockholder, in each case after April 1, 2010, plus the amount by which Reddy Corp indebtedness is reduced on its balance sheet as a result of the conversion or exchange of such indebtedness for capital stock, plus the net reduction in certain restricted investments made by Reddy Corp, less the amount of certain restricted payments made from time to time, including, among other things, the payment of cash dividends. Reddy Corp is not currently permitted to pay dividends under this provision.

        In addition, regardless of the leverage ratio or whether Reddy Corp could make any restricted payments under the buildup amount provision referred to above, Reddy Corp is permitted to make certain restricted payments including (1) dividend payments at any time in an aggregate amount of up to $25.0 million if no default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture, (2) the payment of interest when due on the remaining 101/2% Senior Discount Notes and the repayment, redemption or retirement of remaining 101/2% Senior Discount Notes from the proceeds of certain indebtedness of Reddy Corp incurred after the date of issuance of the First Lien Notes, (3) the payment of dividends to Reddy Holdings in an amount per year not to exceed $1.0 million to pay franchise taxes and overhead expenses of Reddy Holdings and (4) the payment of dividends to Reddy Holdings in an amount per year not to exceed 6.0% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by Reddy Corp from all public equity offerings after the date of issuance of the First Lien Notes subject to specified conditions. However, the amount of dividend payments permitted under this 6.0% provision will correspondingly reduce the amount otherwise available under the buildup amount for restricted payments, including dividends.

        13.25% Senior Secured Notes.    On March 15, 2010, Reddy Corp issued $137.6 million in aggregate principal amount of 13.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the "Second Lien Notes") in the initial settlement of a private placement exchange offer for the outstanding Discount Notes (the "Exchange Offer"). The Second Lien Notes were subsequently registered within the SEC effective August 2, 2010. On March 24, 2010, Reddy Corp issued an additional $1.8 million in aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes in the final settlement of the Exchange Offer. Reddy Corp received no cash proceeds from the issuance of the Second Lien Notes. Cash interest accrues on the Second Lien Notes at a rate of 13.25% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, with the first payment occurring on November 1, 2010. The Second Lien Notes mature on November 1, 2015. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company issued $0.6 million of Second Lien Notes to certain bondholders as an early tender premium (see "101/2% Senior Discount Notes" below for further information). These additional Second Lien Notes were not reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet upon issuance, but will be recognized as additional debt through interest expense over the term of the Second Lien Notes.

        The Second Lien Notes are senior secured obligations of Reddy Corp and are:

    guaranteed by Reddy Holdings;

    secured on a second-priority basis by liens on substantially all of the assets of Reddy Corp and Reddy Holdings;

41


Table of Contents

    senior in right of payment to all of Reddy Corp's and Reddy Holdings' future subordinated indebtedness; and

    effectively senior to all of Reddy Corp's and Reddy Holdings' existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness.

        The Second Lien Notes include customary covenants that restrict, among other things, Reddy Corp's and its future subsidiaries' ability to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock, pay dividends or redeem, repurchase or retire its capital stock or subordinated indebtedness, make certain investments, create liens, enter into arrangements that restrict dividends from its subsidiaries, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets or enter into various transactions with affiliates. From and after March 1, 2013, Reddy Corp may redeem any or all of the Second Lien Notes by paying a redemption premium, which is initially 6.625% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes and declines to 0% for the period commencing on March 1, 2014 and thereafter. Prior to March 1, 2013, Reddy Corp may redeem any or all of the Second Lien Notes by paying a "make-whole" redemption premium. If Reddy Corp experiences a change of control, Reddy Corp will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Second Lien Notes at a price equal to 101% of their accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Reddy Corp may also be required to make an offer to purchase the Second Lien Notes with proceeds of asset sales that are not reinvested in the Company's business or used to repay other indebtedness.

        The indenture governing the Second Lien Notes restricts the amount of dividends, distributions and other restricted payments Reddy Corp may make. Under the indenture, Reddy Corp is restricted from paying dividends to Reddy Holdings unless, at the time of such payment:

    no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

    the secured leverage ratio set forth in the indenture governing the Second Lien Notes is less than or equal to 6.0 to 1.0; and

    there is sufficient capacity under the buildup amount under the indenture governing the Second Lien Notes.

        The secured leverage ratio under the indenture governing the Second Lien Notes means the ratio of secured indebtedness (as defined in the indenture) to EBITDA (as defined in the indenture) for the most recent four fiscal quarters. Reddy Corp is generally required to calculate its secured leverage ratio on a pro forma basis to give effect to the incurrence and repayment of indebtedness as well as acquisitions and dispositions. As of September 30, 2011, the second lien leverage ratio was 8.7 to 1.0.

        The buildup amount equals 50% of the consolidated net income of Reddy Corp accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from April 1, 2010 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available (or, if such consolidated net income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus, the net cash proceeds to Reddy Corp of the issuance of capital stock, subject to certain exceptions, and any cash capital contribution received by Reddy Corp from its stockholder, in each case after April 1, 2010, plus the amount by which Reddy Corp indebtedness is reduced on its balance sheet as a result of the conversion or exchange of such indebtedness for capital stock, plus the net reduction in certain restricted investments made by Reddy Corp, less the amount of certain restricted payments made from time to time, including, among other things, the payment of cash dividends. Reddy Corp is not currently permitted to pay dividends under this provision.

        In addition, regardless of the leverage ratio or whether Reddy Corp could make any restricted payments under the buildup amount provision referred to above, Reddy Corp is permitted to make certain restricted payments including (1) dividend payments at any time in an aggregate amount of up

Table of Contents


to $25.0 million if no default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture, (2) the payment of interest when due on the remaining Discount Notes and the repayment, redemption or retirement of remaining Discount Notes from the proceeds of certain indebtedness of Reddy Corp incurred after the date of issuance of the Second Lien Notes, (3) the payment of dividends to Reddy Holdings in an amount per year not to exceed $1.0 million to pay franchise taxes and overhead expenses of Reddy Holdings and (4) the payment of dividends to Reddy Holdings in an amount per year not to exceed 6.0% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by Reddy Corp from all public equity offerings after the date of issuance of the Second Lien Notes subject to specified conditions. However, the amount of dividend payments permitted under this 6.0% provision will correspondingly reduce the amount otherwise available under the buildup amount for restricted payments, including dividends.

        101/2% Senior Discount Notes.    On October 27, 2004, Reddy Holdings issued $151 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of 101/2% Senior Discount Notes due 2012 (the "Discount Notes") in a private placement offering. The Discount Notes were subsequently registered with the SEC, effective August 26, 2005. Each Discount Note had an initial accreted value of $663.33 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity. The accreted value of each Discount Note increased from the date of issuance until November 1, 2008 at a rate of 101/2% per annum such that the accreted value equaled the stated principal amount on November 1, 2008. Thereafter, cash interest began accruing November 1, 2008 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 at a rate of 101/2% per annum. The Discount Notes mature and are payable on November 1, 2012. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, Reddy Corp paid cash dividends to Reddy Holdings in the amount of $6.7 million and $15.8 million, respectively, to fund the semi-annual interest payments on the Discount Notes. No dividends were paid in the three month period ended September 30, 2011. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, Reddy Corp paid cash dividends to Reddy Holdings in the amount of $0.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively, to fund the semi-annual interest payments on the Discount Notes.

        On February 22, 2010, Reddy Corp launched the Exchange Offer, offering $1,000 in aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes for each $1,000 of Discount Notes exchanged. In addition, for Discount Notes exchanged on or prior to March 5, 2010, Reddy Corp offered an early tender premium of $5 in aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes for each $1,000 of Discount Notes exchanged. In conjunction with the Exchange Offer, Reddy Corp solicited consents to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants from the indenture governing the Discount Notes. At the expiration of the Exchange Offer on March 19, 2010, approximately 92.2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Discount Notes had been tendered into the Exchange Offer. Following the final settlement of the Exchange Offer, $11.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the Discount Notes remain outstanding.

        The Discount Notes are unsecured obligations of Reddy Holdings and are:

    not guaranteed by Reddy Corp;

    senior in right of payment to all of Reddy Holdings' future subordinated indebtedness;

    equal in right of payment with any of Reddy Holdings' existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness;

    effectively subordinated to Reddy Holdings' existing and future secured debt, including the debt under the First Lien Notes, the Second Lien Notes and the credit facility, which are guaranteed on a secured basis by Reddy Holdings; and

    structurally subordinated to all obligations and preferred equity of Reddy Corp.

        As of November 1, 2010, Reddy Holdings may redeem any or all of the Discount Notes without paying any redemption premium.

        Senior Credit Facilities.    On March 15, 2010, Reddy Corp entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other entities as lenders, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the "March 2010 Credit Facility"). The March 2010 Credit Facility provided for a $35 million revolving credit facility. Under the March 2010 Credit Facility, Reddy Corp had the right to request the aggregate commitments to be increased to $50 million provided certain conditions were met. On August 4, 2010, the aggregate commitments under the March 2010 Credit Facility were increased to $50 million.

        The March 2010 Credit Facility was an obligation of Reddy Corp and was guaranteed by Reddy Holdings. The March 2010 Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on January 31, 2014.

        Principal balances outstanding under the March 2010 Credit Facility bore interest per annum, at Reddy Corp's option, at the sum of the base rate or LIBOR plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for base rate loans was initially 3.75% and for LIBOR loans was initially 4.75%, with such applicable margins subject to reduction based upon the Company's net leverage ratio (as defined in the March 2010 Credit Facility). The Company also paid (i) a quarterly fee on the average availability under the revolving credit facility at an annual rate of 0.875%, with such availability fee subject to reduction based upon the Company's net leverage ratio, (ii) a $50,000 annual loan servicing fee, and (iii) an annual commitment fee of $0.2 million to one of the lenders.

        On October 22, 2010, Reddy Corp and the lenders party thereto amended and restated the March 2010 Credit Facility (the "New Credit Facility"). The New Credit Facility provides for a $50 million revolving credit facility. Macquarie Bank Limited ("Macquarie"), a lender under the March 2010 Credit Facility, is currently the sole lender under the New Credit Facility. On December 10, 2010, Macquarie became the successor administrative agent under the New Credit Facility.

        The New Credit Facility provides that outstanding loans will bear interest at rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 7.0% per annum or, at the option of Reddy Corp, the Base Rate, plus an applicable margin of 6.0% per annum, the relevant margin being the applicable margin. Swing line loans will bear interest at the Base Rate plus the applicable margin. LIBOR and Base Rates are subject to floors of 1.5% and 2.5%, respectively. Interest on LIBOR loans is payable upon maturity of the LIBOR loan or on the last day of the quarter if the term of the LIBOR loan exceeds 90 days. Reddy Corporation will pay an anniversary fee on each anniversary of the effectiveness of the New Credit Facility equal to 1.0% of the commitments under the New Credit Facility on the first anniversary and increasing on each subsequent anniversary by 0.5%, as well as a $50,000 quarterly loan servicing fee. Additionally, for each full calendar year beginning with 2011, if the average balance outstanding under the New Credit Facility is less than $12.5 million for the calendar year, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders an amount equal to (x) the difference between the average balance outstanding and $12.5 million multiplied by (y) the average interest rate for LIBOR Loans during that calendar year (determined based on average one month LIBOR rates as of the end of each quarter during such calendar year). The New Credit Facility will mature on October 22, 2014. At September 30, 2011, the Company had $14.5 million outstanding and $35.5 million of availability under the New Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the New Credit Facility as of September 30, 2011 was 7.4%.

        The obligations under the New Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Reddy Holdings and will also be guaranteed by any future domestic subsidiaries of Reddy Corp, subject to certain exceptions.

        The New Credit Facility does not require any scheduled principal payments prior to its stated maturity date. Subject to certain conditions, mandatory repayments of the New Credit Facility (and mandatory commitment reductions of the New Credit Facility) are required to be made with portions of the proceeds from (1) asset sales, (2) the issuance of debt securities and (3) insurance and condemnation awards, subject to various exceptions. In the event of a change in control, as defined in the New Credit Facility, an event of default will occur under the New Credit Facility.

Table of Contents

        The New Credit Facility also contains affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Reddy Corp and its future subsidiaries, subject to materiality and other qualifications, baskets and exceptions. The affirmative and negative covenants are substantially consistent with those contained in the March 2010 Credit Facility. The negative covenants, among other things, restrict the ability of Reddy Corp to:

    incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;

    create liens;

    make investments;

    pay dividends or make other restricted payments;

    consolidate or merge or acquire or dispose of assets;

    enter into transactions with affiliates;

    permit consensual encumbrances or restrictions on Reddy Corp's restricted subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends or make certain other payments to Reddy Corp; and

    prepay certain indebtedness, including the First Lien Notes and the Second Lien Notes.

        Under the restricted payments covenant in the New Credit Facility, Reddy Corp is generally prohibited from paying dividends and otherwise transferring assets to Reddy Holdings. Reddy Corp is permitted to pay certain limited dividends to Reddy Holdings, the proceeds of which must be used for specific purposes, such as to maintain Reddy Holdings' corporate existence, repurchase the Discount Notes and pay interest on the Discount Notes. Reddy Corp may also distribute certain investments to Reddy Holdings.

        In addition, Reddy Corp may also pay dividends to Reddy Holdings for specified purposes, including the payment of cash interest on the Discount Notes. The New Credit Facility (and the March 2010 Credit Facility, while it was in effect) precludes Reddy Corp from declaring any dividends if an event of default under the credit facility has occurred and is continuing. In particular, it will be an event of default under the New Credit Facility if Reddy Corp's leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of the outstanding balance of the New Credit Facility on the last day of each quarter to EBITDA (as defined in the New Credit Facility) over the preceding four quarters) exceeds 2.50:1.00 as of the end of any quarter. The New Credit Facility requires the maintenance of a minimum liquidity amount of $5 million at all times. Liquidity for purposes of this covenant is defined as the sum of available borrowing capacity under the New Credit Facility and unrestricted cash held by Reddy Corp. The New Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. Reddy Holdings guarantees the New Credit Facility and such guarantee is collateralized by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of Reddy Holdings. At September 30, 2011, Reddy Corp was in compliance with the ratio requirements included in New Credit Facility.

        Obligations under the New Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events of default as defined in the credit agreement, including failure to pay any principal when due and payable, failure to pay interest within five (5) days after due, failure to comply with any covenant, representation or condition of any loan document, any change of control, cross-defaults, and certain other events as set forth in the credit agreement, with grace periods in some cases.

        An acceleration of the indebtedness under the New Credit Facility would be an event of default under the First Lien Notes and Second Lien Notes if the outstanding balance of the New Credit Facility at the time of acceleration is over $10 million.

        At September 30, 2011, Reddy Holdings had $10.8 million of cash on hand that was not subject to restrictions under our New Credit Facility.

        EBITDA as defined in our New Credit Facility is hereafter referred to as "Adjusted EBITDA".

Table of Contents

        The following table presents Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2011 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the adjustments related to the acquisition or disposal of businesses which are permitted under the description of the definition of Leverage Ratio as set forth in the New Credit Facility. Adjusted EBITDA is different from EBITDA that is derived solely from GAAP components. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss), cash flows from operations or net cash from operating or investing activities as defined by GAAP, and it is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our cash needs as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, not all companies use identical calculations, and this presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA follows the table.

        Letters of Credit.    The New Credit Facility does not provide for the issuance of standby letters of credit. In March 2010, Reddy Corp entered into a separate letter of credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "LC Facility"). Letters of credit issued under the LC Facility are cash collateralized at 102% of the amount of the letter of credit and are used primarily to secure certain insurance and operating lease obligations. The cash collateral provided under the LC Facility is maintained in a restricted account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and is reported as "Restricted Cash" in the consolidated balance sheets.

        Old Senior Credit Facilities.    On August 12, 2005, the Company amended and restated its credit facilities with a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other entities as lenders, including Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, as Administrative Agent, Wachovia Bank, N.A., JP Morgan Chase, N.A., CIBC World Markets Corp., Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc. and Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. (the "Old Credit Facilities"). The Old Credit Facilities provided for a $60 million revolving credit facility (the "Old Revolving Credit Facility") and a $240 million term loan (the "Old Term Loan"). The Old Credit Facilities were obligations of Reddy Corp and were guaranteed by Reddy Holdings. The Old Revolving Credit Facility and Old Term Loan were scheduled to mature on August 12, 2010 and August 12, 2012, respectively. On March 15, 2010, the Old Credit Facilities were terminated and all amounts owed thereunder were repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the First Lien Notes.

        Principal balances outstanding under the Old Credit Facility bore interest per annum, at the Company's option, at the sum of the base rate plus 0.75% or LIBOR plus 1.75%. The base rate was defined as the greater of the prime rate (as announced from time to time by the Administrative Agent) or the federal funds rate plus 0.5%. Interest on base rate loans was payable on the last day of each quarter. Interest on LIBOR loans was payable upon maturity of the LIBOR loan or on the last day of the quarter if the term of the LIBOR loan exceeded 90 days. Reddy Corp also paid a quarterly fee on the average availability under the revolving credit facility at an annual rate of 0.5%.

        The Old Revolving Credit Facility and Old Term Loan did not require any scheduled principal payments prior to their stated maturity dates. The Old Credit Facilities contained financial covenants, which include the maintenance of certain financial ratios, as defined in the Credit Facilities, and were collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets.

Financial Derivative Instruments

        Diesel Hedging Agreement.    On March 25, 2011, the Company entered into a hedge to fix the price per gallon of a portion of the Company's diesel fuel requirements (the "Diesel Hedge"). The Diesel Hedge began April 1, 2011 and expires on December 28, 2011. The notional amount of gallons hedged changes on a monthly basis to match anticipated utilization and totals 1.2 million gallons. The Company will pay a weighted average fixed price of $3.17 per gallon (wholesale basis) and receive an amount equal to a wholesale index rate. Net payable or receivable amounts are settled monthly. On May 6, 2011, the Company entered into a hedge to fix the price per gallon of a portion of the Company's diesel fuel requirements (the "Second Diesel Hedge"). The Second Diesel Hedge began June 1, 2011 and expires on December 31, 2012. The notional amount of gallons hedged changes on a monthly basis to match anticipated usage and totals 1.1 million gallons, 0.5 million of which relates to expected 2012 usage. The Company will pay a weighted average fixed price of $3.04 per gallon (wholesale basis) and receive an amount equal to a wholesale index rate. Net payable or receivable amounts are settled monthly. The Company uses the hedges to minimize the risk of rising fuel prices. The hedges are not for trading purposes and are accounted for as economic hedges and were not designated as hedging instruments.

        Liquidity Outlook.    Due to the seasonal nature of our business, we record the majority of our revenues and profits during the months of May through September. The majority of the cash generated

48


Table of Contents


from those operations is received between July and November. We fully utilized the excess cash generated from our 2010 selling season during the winter of 2010 and spring of 2011 to fund our operations, debt service, capital expenditures and acquisitions. In March 2010, we refinanced substantially all of our outstanding debt. The March 2010 refinancing provided us with additional cash proceeds of $43.5 million, net of transaction costs, which allowed for additional acquisitions and capital expenditures. In August 2010, we increased the size of our revolving credit facility from $35 million to $50 million. In October 2010, we amended and restated our revolving credit facility to, among other changes, modify financial covenants and extend the maturity date from January 31, 2014 to October 22, 2014. The annual cash interest associated with our current long-term debt is approximately $53 million.

        Our capital expenditures are used to maintain and expand our traditional ice and ISB operations. In the normal course of our business, we dispose of obsolete, worn-out and unneeded assets and have historically applied those funds against capital expenditures. We currently expect our net capital expenditures in 2011 to approximate $11 to $13 million. This represents our capital expenditures for the maintenance of our traditional packaged ice and ISB operations net of proceeds from dispositions and expected net reimbursements of the cost of equipment purchased and placed under operating leases, and additional expenditures for key projects related to acquisitions and high return opportunities. We continue to evaluate opportunities to deploy additional capital expenditures for projects with attractive returns and/or acquisitions in the packaged ice and ice machine leasing businesses.

        Based on our expected level of operations, we believe that cash flows from operations, together with available borrowings under our revolving credit facility, will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. As of November 7, 2011, we had approximately $10.2 million of cash on hand at Reddy Holdings, approximately $1.1 million of unrestricted cash and $13.1 million of restricted cash at Reddy Corp and $32.0 million of availability under our revolving credit facility. Our cash flows from operations decline to their lowest point during March and April due to reduced sales in January and February, and we make interest payments on our outstanding notes in March and May. We incur a substantial portion of our annual capital expenditures prior to the summer selling season and we need to finance seasonal increases in accounts receivable and inventories as temperatures and sales volumes begin to increase in April and May. The utilization of our revolving credit facility reached its seasonal high point in June of 2011. Subject to the authorization of additional capital expenditures above the current budget and/or the completion of additional acquisitions, we expect that the amount currently outstanding under the revolving credit facility will be repaid or significantly reduced by early 2012 until additional borrowings are needed due to the onset of our seasonal liquidity needs, which begin to build again late in the first quarter of 2012.

        As noted previously, we record the majority of our sales and any profits during the months of May through September and the majority of the cash generated from those operations is received in July through November, by which time we expect to have repaid all or a substantial portion of the amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility in the spring, funded current capital expenditures and debt service and potentially built up cash balances. In 2012, we anticipate experiencing the seasonal low point in our liquidity in the May-June timeframe, but available cash balances and borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility are expected to meet our cash needs during this period. In addition, $11.7 million of discount notes are scheduled to mature on November 1, 2012 and we expect to have sufficient liquidity to repay these notes in cash. We are monitoring opportunities to refinance the discount notes and are also evaluating other potential avenues to raise capital to fund our strategic plans and provide additional liquidity. Potential sources of cash and liquidity include the incurrence of additional debt and/or the issuance of equity or equity linked securities, the timing of capital expenditures and the disposition of ancillary facilities, operations and investments. However, there can be no assurances that any of these potential sources of funds can be successfully accessed. We expect to be in compliance with our debt covenants over the next twelve months.

        Expenses in connection with the antitrust investigations and related civil litigation may require the use of cash on hand at Reddy Holdings or Reddy Corp. or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As of November 7, 2011, our cash on hand at Reddy Holdings, net of accrued expenses related to the antitrust investigations and related civil litigation, was approximately $7.9 million. Based on the current status of the investigation and related civil litigation and projected expenses, we believe Reddy Holdings' cash balance will be sufficient to fund these expenses for the next twelve months; however, this expectation includes assumptions regarding matters beyond our control or knowledge. If Reddy Holdings were to require additional cash to fund its expenses related to the antitrust investigations, Reddy Corp. has the ability under the credit facility to transfer $1 million to Reddy Holdings on an annual basis and an additional general restricted payment basket of $5 million over the remaining life of the credit facility. Reddy Holdings has no restrictions on its ability to raise additional debt. We have received reimbursements of $12.2 million to date from our insurance carriers as reimbursements of certain legal expenses. The settlements related to these reimbursements were final and we do not expect to receive any further reimbursements related the antitrust investigations and related civil litigation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

        In September of 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. ASU 2011-08 modifies the goodwill impairment test by allowing for an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, based on this assessment, the entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity may bypass performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. However, if the entity concludes otherwise, it is required to perform Step 1 of the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In June of 2011, the FASB issue ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and offers guidance on when to perform Step 2 of the testing. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists based upon factors such as unanticipated competition, the loss of key personnel and adverse regulatory changes. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, which updates the guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations, to clarify that pro forma disclosures should be presented as if a business combination occurred at the beginning of the prior annual period for purposes of preparing both the current reporting period and the prior reporting period pro forma financial information. These disclosures should be accompanied by a narrative description about the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. ASU 2010-29 is effective for business combinations consummated

in periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and is required to be applied prospectively as of the date of adoption. The Company has reflected the adoption of ASU 2010-29 in the disclosures accompanying the consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

General Economic Trends and Seasonality

        Our results of operations are generally affected by the economic trends in our market area. We believe end users of our products use packaged ice in many applications, including recreational activities, the construction industry, agriculture and special events. Weakness in the national economy combined with other factors including inflation, interest rate fluctuations, increases in fuel and other energy costs, labor and healthcare costs and the availability of financing, may negatively impact consumer confidence and the business prospects of our commercial customers. If consumer activities associated with the use of our products decline or the business activities of our commercial customers decrease, our revenues and sales volumes may decline.

        Our results to date have not been significantly impacted by inflation, other than costs directly related to energy prices, such as fuel, plastic bags and electricity. If we experience high inflation in these costs in the future, or inflationary pressures have significant effects on other cost categories, we may not be able to pass on all of these higher costs to our customers in the short term. We do believe that we will be able to pass on higher costs to our customers over longer periods of time; however there can be no assurance that we will be successful in such efforts.

        The ice business is highly seasonal, with the bulk of demand coming in the warmer spring and summer months. Accordingly, we experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and profitability. We make a disproportionate amount of our sales in the second and third calendar quarters. We also typically earn any net income in these same periods, whereas we typically experience net losses in the first and fourth calendar quarters. We believe that approximately two-thirds of our revenues will occur during the second and third calendar quarters when the weather conditions are generally warmer and demand is greater, while approximately one-third of our revenues will occur during the first and fourth calendar quarters when the weather is generally cooler. This belief is consistent with historical trends. As a result of seasonal revenue declines and the lack of proportional corresponding expense decreases, we will most likely experience lower profit margins and losses during the first and fourth calendar quarters. In addition, because our operating results depend significantly on sales during our peak season, our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly as a result of adverse weather during this peak selling period if the weather is unusually cool or rainy on a more national or regional basis.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

        Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the value of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our main market risk categories are fuel prices and interest rate risk.

        We are exposed to market risk due to fluctuations in the prices of fuel. From time to time we enter into hedging contracts to stabilize prices expected to be paid for diesel fuel used in our operations. These contracts are for quantities equal to or less than quantities expected to be consumed in our operations. As of September 30, 2011, we had two diesel fuel contracts that mature in December 2011 and 2012 which are recorded in Cost of Goods Sold and Other Assets at their fair value of

51


Table of Contents


approximately $0.2 million. The impact of a 10% change in fuel prices not covered under these contracts would result in a $1.0 million change in our results of operations on an annual basis, absent any other contravening actions.

        Our results of operations can be affected by changes in interest rates due to variable rates of interest on our revolving credit facilities. As of September 30, 2011, $14.5 million was outstanding under our revolving credit facility. A 1% increase in interest rates would have an insignificant impact on our results of operations.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

        Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.    We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" ("Disclosure Controls"), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of September 30, 2011, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report"). The Disclosure Controls evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). 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. Based upon this evaluation, and as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting disclosed by the Company in its 2010 annual report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report"), and as described below, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our Disclosure Controls were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2011.

        At December 31, 2010, management, including our CEO and our CFO, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in its Internal Control—Integrated Framework.

        A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

        Based on this assessment, management identified a material weakness related to our accounting for ice merchandiser equipment, as identified and disclosed in our 2010 Annual Report. Specifically, we did not maintain effective controls, including monitoring with respect to the accuracy, valuation, completeness, and existence of ice merchandiser equipment.

        Notwithstanding the existence of the material weakness described above, we performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These additional procedures included, among other things, expansion of our physical inventory procedures and dedication of significant internal resources to review our ice merchandiser and other plant and equipment balances at a detailed level.

        As a result of the additional analyses and other procedures performed as described above, the Company identified additional errors in its accounting for equipment and machinery balances. We have determined that these errors are an additional effect of the material weakness identified at December 31, 2010. Specifically, we did not maintain effective controls, including monitoring with respect to the accuracy, valuation, completeness, and existence of ice merchandiser equipment and other equipment and machinery.

        Although we have made substantial progress in our remediation efforts, we have not yet remediated the material weakness described above and cannot conclude when we will have remediated

52


Table of Contents


this material weakness. Until remediated, this deficiency could result in a material misstatement of the related accounts and disclosures contained in the consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

        Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness.    We have made and will continue to make improvements to our internal control over financial reporting, and management, with oversight from our Audit Committee, has identified and intends to execute the following actions that we believe will remediate the material weakness described above. Specifically, with regard to the accounting for ice merchandiser and plant and equipment assets, management intends to:

    Establish increased operational ownership and accountability for the Company's ice merchandiser, plant, and equipment assets;

    Upgrade the fixed asset system and related procedures to provide a more accurate and automated means of managing the Company's fixed assets, including its ice merchandiser, plant, and equipment assets, with specific focus on processes and controls governing the tracking and timely disposition and inventory of fixed assets; and

    Redesign and enhance inventory control procedures over our fixed assets including increased education, training, support and oversight of the Company's employees tasked with the completion of inventory procedures.

        Subsequent to filing its 2010 Annual Report on March 31, 2011, the Company has initiated a redesign of its fixed asset processes and procedures as well as the implementation of a new fixed asset system. The Company has made significant progress in its remediation efforts during the second and third quarters. Key milestones achieved in the second quarter included the selection of a new fixed asset system, the re-design of certain policies and procedures to ensure adequate internal controls over fixed assets are maintained, and the design and test of the 2011 fixed asset inventory and tagging procedures. During the third quarter the Company initiated the physical implementation of the selected fixed asset system, the training of employees on new and revised policies and procedures, the tagging of the Company's fixed assets with tags readable via a handheld barcode scanner, and execution of the 2011 physical fixed asset inventory. The newly re-designed procedures will be adopted in conjunction with the final implementation of the selected fixed asset system and execution of the Company's tagging and physical inventory activities will continue until fully complete. The Company anticipates completing these remediation activities in 2011.

        The foregoing notwithstanding, we continue to evaluate the appropriate remediation measures required in order to address the above-described material weakness and further progress relative to our remediation measures will be disclosed in our subsequent Exchange Act reports.

        Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.    There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

        The following is a discussion of the Company's significant legal matters. The Company is involved in various claims, suits, investigations, and legal proceedings. The Company accrues a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no accruals had been made in connection with the matters discussed below.

Antitrust Matters

        In March 2008, the Company and certain of its employees, including members of its management, received subpoenas issued by a federal grand jury sitting in the Eastern District of Michigan seeking documents and information in connection with an investigation by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") into possible antitrust violations in the packaged ice industry. In addition, on March 5, 2008, federal officials executed a search warrant at the Company's corporate office in Dallas, Texas. Current and former employees were also subpoenaed to testify and testified before a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Michigan and before a federal grand jury in the Southern District of Ohio. On October 29, 2010, the Company was informed that the Antitrust Division of the DOJ would take no action against the Company or any of its employees in connection with its investigation of the packaged ice industry. In January 2011, counsel for the Company confirmed that the Antitrust Division of the DOJ has formally closed its investigation of the packaged ice industry.

        In March 2008, June 2008, and June 2009, the Company was served with antitrust civil investigative demands ("CIDs") by the Offices of the Attorneys General of the States of Florida, Arizona and Michigan, respectively, requesting the production of documents and information relating to an investigation of agreements in restraint of trade and/or price fixing with respect to the market for packaged ice. The Company has been advised that these CIDs are related to a multi-state antitrust investigation of the packaged ice industry. The Company is cooperating with the investigation and has complied with all requests for documents and information regarding these matters. The Company may in the future receive additional civil investigative demands or similar information requests from states participating in the multi-state investigation or conducting their own investigations.

        At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of that investigation, the possible loss or possible range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of that investigation or any potential effect the investigation may have on the Company, its employees or operations.

        Beginning in 2008 a number of lawsuits, including putative class action lawsuits, were filed against the Company, Reddy Ice Corporation, Home City Ice Company, Arctic Glacier Income Fund, Arctic Glacier, Inc. and Arctic Glacier International, Inc., in various federal and state courts in multiple jurisdictions alleging violations of federal and state antitrust laws and related claims and seeking damages and injunctive relief. One of the state court cases filed against the Company was dismissed. Pursuant to an Order from the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, the other civil actions have been transferred and consolidated for pretrial proceedings in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Home City entered into a settlement agreement with the direct purchaser plaintiffs that was approved by the Court on February 22, 2011. On March 30, 2011, Arctic Glacier announced that it had entered into a proposed settlement agreement with the direct purchaser plaintiffs. Preliminary approval of that settlement was granted on July 20, 2011, and a final fairness hearing was held on October 28, 2011. The Court has taken the motion for final approval under advisement. Discovery is ongoing regarding the claims asserted on behalf of direct purchasers against the Company. On March 11, 2011, the Court entered an Order granting in part and denying in part motions to dismiss the indirect purchaser claims. On May 25, 2011, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint asserting violations of the antitrust laws of various states

and related claims. The Company and the other defendants filed motions to dismiss the Consolidated Class Action Complaint. Those motions were heard on October 28, 2011, and were taken under advisement by the Court.

        On March 1, 2010, a putative class action Statement of Claim was filed against the Company in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Canada alleging violations of Part VI of the Competition Act and seeking general damages, punitive and exemplary damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and costs. On March 8, 2010, a putative class action Statement of Claim was filed against the Company in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary, in Canada, alleging violations of Part VI of the Competition Act and seeking general damages, special and pecuniary damages, punitive and exemplary damages, interest and costs.

        An agreement has been reached to resolve the class actions filed in Canada against Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier, Inc. The agreement provides that Arctic Glacier will pay CDN $2,000,000, all claims asserted against Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier in both Ontario and Alberta will be dismissed, and Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier will be granted full and final releases with regard to those claims. Reddy Ice is not making any payment in connection with this settlement. The agreement is subject to the execution of final settlement documents and court approval.

        One direct action lawsuit was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan asserting claims based on alleged violations of federal and state antitrust laws, RICO and tortious interference and seeking damages, civil penalties and injunctive relief. The defendants filed motions to dismiss that case. On May 29, 2009, the Court dismissed all claims against us in that lawsuit. On June 29, 2009, the plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration, and on July 17, 2009 the Court reversed, in part, its May 29, 2009 order, reinstating only the RICO claim against us. The dismissal of the remaining claims was not affected. On August 10, 2009, the Company filed an answer to the reinstated claim. Discovery is ongoing in that matter.

        On April 20, 2011, an Order was entered unsealing a Qui Tam complaint filed on June 25, 2008, by Martin McNulty, on behalf of the United States, against Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc., Reddy Ice Corporation, Arctic Glacier Income Fund, Arctic Glacier, Inc., Arctic Glacier International, Inc., and Home City Ice Company, Inc. The complaint alleges violations of the federal False Claims Act by presentation of false claims, making or using a false record or statement, and conspiracy to defraud, and seeks damages, civil penalties, attorney fees and costs. The Government has elected not to intervene in that case and the Company and the other defendants have filed motions to dismiss that complaint. Those motions are set for hearing on November 16, 2011.

        The Company intends to vigorously defend the pending lawsuits. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, the possible loss or possible range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of these lawsuits or any potential effect they may have on the Company or its operations.

Stockholder Litigation

        Beginning on August 8, 2008, putative class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan asserting claims under the federal securities laws against the Company and certain of its current or former senior officers. On July 17, 2009, the Court consolidated the actions and appointed a lead plaintiff and interim lead plaintiff's counsel. The lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint on November 2, 2009. That complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of an alleged class of purchasers of the Company's common stock and alleges that the defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose the existence of, and the Company's alleged participation in, an alleged antitrust conspiracy in the packaged ice industry. The Company and the other defendants have filed an answer in that case, a briefing schedule relating to class certification has been entered and discovery is ongoing.

        Two stockholder derivative actions have been filed on the Company's behalf in state district court in Dallas County, Texas, naming as defendants, among others, certain current and former officers and members of the Company's Board of Directors. Those cases have been consolidated in the 68th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas. On August 1, 2011, the Court granted in part and denied in part Special Exceptions filed by the defendants. The Company filed a petition with the Court of Appeals seeking a writ of mandamus relating to the denial of certain Special Exceptions. On September 1, 2011, a Third Amended Consolidated Shareholder Derivative Petition was filed in that matter. That Third Amended Petition asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, and gross mismanagement and seeks damages, equitable relief, attorney fees, expenses and costs. On October 10, 2011, the petition for a writ of mandamus was conditionally granted by the Court of Appeals and the trial court was ordered to grant the Special Exception relating to demand futility. The plaintiffs filed a Motion for Rehearing, which was denied on November 7, 2011. The trial of that case is currently set for March 20, 2012.

        The Company intends to vigorously defend the pending lawsuits. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, the possible loss or possible range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of these lawsuits or any potential effect they may have on the Company or its operations.

Other Matters

        We are also involved in various other claims, lawsuits and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including intellectual property matters. There are uncertainties inherent in the ultimate outcome of such matters and it is difficult to determine the ultimate costs that we may incur. We believe the resolution of such other ordinary course uncertainties and the incurrence of such costs will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

        There have been no material changes to the factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, except as listed below.

Our common stock could be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.

        The continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") require the Company to maintain, among other things, a market capitalization or stockholders equity above a specified threshold. As a result of the decline in the Company's stock price and the reduction in its stockholders' equity resulting from our decline in earnings, the Company was notified by the NYSE in September that it is not in compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards. On November 7th, 2011, the Company filed a plan with the NYSE to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards within 18 months. If the plan is accepted by the NYSE, the NYSE will monitor the Company's performance under the plan on a quarterly basis. To the extent (i) the NYSE does not accept the Company's plan, (ii) the Company cannot meet the applicable standards within the 18 month period if its plan is accepted, or (iii) the NYSE determines the Company is not satisfying its obligations under the plan to achieve compliance, the Company's stock could be delisted from NYSE. A delisting of the Company's common stock could materially and adversely affect, among other things, the liquidity and market price of the Company's common stock; the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Company's common stock; and the Company's access to capital markets to raise capital in the future.
