Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements: Statements in this document that are not historical facts, including statements that: (i) are in the future tense; (ii) include the words "expects," "plans," "targets," "estimates," "believes," "anticipates," or similar words that referenceSnap-on Incorporated ("Snap-on" or "the company") or its management; (iii) are specifically identified as forward-looking; or (iv) describe Snap-on's or management's future outlook, plans, estimates, objectives or goals, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Snap-on cautions the reader that any forward-looking statements included in this document that are based upon assumptions and estimates were developed by management in good faith and are subject to risks, uncertainties or other factors that could cause (and in some cases have caused) actual results to differ materially from those described in any such statement. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results or regarded as a representation by the company or its management that the projected results will be achieved. For those forward-looking statements, Snap-on cautions the reader that numerous important factors, such as those listed below, the factors discussed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedDecember 28, 2019 , and in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period endedMarch 28, 2020 , and those discussed in this document, could affect the company's actual results and could cause its actual consolidated results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, Snap-on. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, uncertainties related to estimates, statements, assumptions and projections generally, and the timing and progress with which Snap-on can attain value through its Snap-on Value Creation Processes, including its ability to realize efficiencies and savings from its rapid continuous improvement and other cost reduction initiatives, improve workforce productivity, achieve improvements in the company's manufacturing footprint and greater efficiencies in its supply chain, and enhance machine maintenance, plant productivity and manufacturing line set-up and change-over practices, any or all of which could result in production inefficiencies, higher costs and/or lost revenues. These risks include the evolving impact and unknown duration of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which has the potential to amplify the impact of the other risks facing the company. These risks also include governmental actions related thereto on Snap-on's business, as well as uncertainties related to Snap-on's capability to implement future strategies with respect to its existing businesses, its ability to refine its brand and franchise strategies, retain and attract franchisees, further enhance service and value to franchisees and thereby help improve their sales and profitability, introduce successful new products, successfully pursue, complete and integrate acquisitions, as well as its ability to withstand disruption arising from natural disasters, planned facility closures or other labor interruptions, the effects of external negative factors, including adverse developments in world financial markets, developments related to tariffs and other trade issues or disputes, weakness in certain areas of the global economy (including as a result of theUnited Kingdom's exit from theEuropean Union and the COVID-19 pandemic), and significant changes in the current competitive environment, inflation, interest rates and other monetary and market fluctuations, changes in tax rates, laws and regulations, and the impact of energy and raw material supply and pricing, including steel (as a result ofU.S. tariffs imposed on certain steel imports or otherwise) and gasoline, the amount, rate and growth of Snap-on's general and administrative expenses, including health care and postretirement costs (resulting from, among other matters,U.S. health care legislation and its ongoing implementation or reform), continuing and potentially increasing required contributions to pension and postretirement plans, the impacts of non-strategic business and/or product line rationalizations, and the effects on business as a result of new legislation, regulations or government-related developments or issues, risks associated with data security and technological systems and protections, potential reputational damages and costs related to litigation as well as an inability to assure that costs will be reduced or eliminated on appeal, the impact of changes in financial accounting standards, and other world or local events outside Snap-on's control, including terrorist disruptions and other outbreaks of infectious diseases. Snap-on disclaims any responsibility to update any forward-looking statement provided in this document, except as required by law. In addition, investors should be aware that generally accepted accounting principles inthe United States of America ("GAAP") prescribe when a company should reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposures. Accordingly, results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when a reserve is established for a major contingency. Reported results, therefore, may appear to be volatile in certain accounting periods. 40

Table of ContentsSNAP-ON INCORPORATED MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Non-GAAP Measures References in this report to "organic sales" refer to sales from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding acquisition-related sales and the impact of foreign currency translation. Snap-on has significant international operations and is subject to risks inherent with foreign operations, including foreign currency translation fluctuations. Management evaluates the company's sales performance based on organic sales growth, which primarily reflects growth from the company's existing businesses as a result of increased output, customer base and geographic expansion, new product development and/or pricing, and excludes sales contributions from acquired operations the company did not own as of the comparable prior-year reporting period. The company's organic sales disclosures also exclude the effects of foreign currency translation as foreign currency translation is subject to volatility that can obscure underlying business trends. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure of organic sales is meaningful to investors as it provides them with useful information to aid in identifying underlying growth trends in our businesses and facilitates comparisons of our sales performance with prior periods. Recent Acquisitions OnJanuary 31, 2020 , Snap-on acquired substantially all of the assets of the TreadReader product line fromSigmavision Limited ("Sigmavision") for a cash purchase price of$5.9 million . Sigmavision designs and manufactures handheld devices and drive-over ramps that provide tire information for use in the automotive industry.

The acquisition enhanced and expanded Snap-on's capabilities in providing shop efficiency solutions through integrated upstream services to OEM customers in automotive, heavy duty, agricultural and recreational applications. OnApril 2, 2019 , Snap-on acquiredPower Hawk Technologies, Inc. ("Power Hawk") for a cash purchase price of$7.9 million . Power Hawk, based inRockaway, New Jersey , designs, manufactures and distributes rescue tools and related equipment for a variety of military, governmental, and fire, rescue and emergency operations. The acquisition of the Power Hawk product line complemented and increased Snap-on's existing product offering and broadened its established capabilities in serving critical industries.

Impact of COVID-19
During the second quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and associated government measures to limit the spread of the virus heavily impacted Snap-on's sales and earnings, and as anticipated resulted in substantially lower performance in the period as compared to a year ago. Moving through the quarter, the company accommodated its operations to the virus environment, implementing appropriate measures to ensure the health and safety of its personnel, continuing without disruption to serve its franchisees and other professional customers performing essential work. In turn, Snap-on provided assistance to its franchisees with their accommodations of the turbulence to enable continued service to technicians. As a result, the impact of the virus on our operations lessened as we moved through the quarter from April to May to June. During this period, the company has invested in offsetting the virus impact, including absorbing temporary closures of certain facilities, wages for quarantined associates, event cancellation fees, as well as other related costs (collectively "direct COVID-19-related costs" or "direct costs associated with COVID-19") . Snap-on has generally maintained its headcount, manufacturing capacity and product development, in anticipation of the return to pre-COVID-19 demand levels. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related length of its impact on the global economy, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. See Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors in Snap-on's 2020 first quarter Form 10-Q, for an additional discussion of risks related to COVID-19. 42

Net sales of$724.3 in the second quarter of 2020, reflecting a$214.9 million , or 22.9%, decrease in organic sales and$14.4 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by$2.3 million of acquisition-related sales, compared to$951.3 million in 2019. The decline in sales volume primarily reflects the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter of 2020. Gross profit of$341.2 million in the second quarter of 2020, including$3.1 million of direct costs associated with COVID-19,$2.0 million of exit and disposal ("restructuring") costs and$7.8 million of unfavorable foreign currency effects, compared to$473.8 million in 2019. Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) of 47.1% in the quarter declined 270 basis points (100 basis points ("bps") equals 1.0 percent) from last year primarily due to the impact of lower sales volumes, including costs to maintain manufacturing capacity, 40 bps of direct costs associated with COVID-19, 30 bps from costs related to restructuring actions outside ofthe United States and 10 bps of unfavorable foreign currency effects. These decreases in gross margin were partially offset by benefits from the company's "Rapid Continuous Improvement" or "RCI" initiatives. Snap-on's RCI initiatives employ a structured set of tools and processes across multiple businesses and geographies intended to eliminate waste and improve operations. Savings from Snap-on's RCI initiatives reflect benefits from a wide variety of ongoing efficiency, productivity and process improvements, including savings generated from product design cost reductions, improved manufacturing line set-up and change-over practices, lower-cost sourcing initiatives and facility optimization. Unless individually significant, it is not practicable to disclose each RCI activity that generated savings and/or segregate RCI savings embedded in sales volume increases. 43

Table of Contents SNAP-ON INCORPORATED MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Segment Results Snap-on's business segments are based on the organization structure used by management for making operating and investment decisions and for assessing performance. Snap-on's reportable business segments are: (i) theCommercial & Industrial Group ; (ii) theSnap-on Tools Group ; (iii) theRepair Systems & Information Group ; and (iv) Financial Services.The Commercial & Industrial Group consists of business operations serving a broad range of industrial and commercial customers worldwide, including customers in the aerospace, natural resources, government, power generation, transportation and technical education market segments (collectively, "critical industries"), primarily through direct and distributor channels.The Snap-on Tools Group consists of business operations primarily serving vehicle service and repair technicians through the company's worldwide mobile tool distribution channel.The Repair Systems & Information Group consists of business operations serving other professional vehicle repair customers worldwide, primarily owners and managers of independent repair shops and OEM dealership service and repair shops ("OEM dealerships"), through direct and distributor channels. Financial Services consists of the business operations of Snap-on's finance subsidiaries. Snap-on evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on segment revenues, including both external and intersegment net sales, and segment operating earnings. Snap-on accounts for intersegment sales and transfers based primarily on standard costs with reasonable mark-ups established between the segments. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets used in the respective reportable segment's operations. Corporate assets consist of cash and cash equivalents (excluding cash held at Financial Services), deferred income taxes and certain other assets. Intersegment amounts are eliminated to arrive at Snap-on's consolidated financial results.Commercial & Industrial Group Three Months Ended (Amounts in millions) June 27, 2020 June 29, 2019 Change External net sales$ 204.5 78.1 %$ 263.0 78.5 %$ (58.5) (22.2) % Intersegment net sales 57.4 21.9 % 72.0 21.5 % (14.6) (20.3) % Segment net sales 261.9 100.0 % 335.0 100.0 % (73.1) (21.8) % Cost of goods sold (171.7) (65.6) % (205.8) (61.4) % 34.1 16.6 % Gross profit 90.2 34.4 % 129.2 38.6 % (39.0) (30.2) % Operating expenses (67.3) (25.7) % (80.3) (24.0) % 13.0 16.2 % Segment operating earnings$ 22.9 8.7 %$ 48.9 14.6 %$ (26.0) (53.2) % Segment net sales of$261.9 million in the second quarter of 2020, reflecting a$66.2 million , or 20.2%, organic sales decline and$6.9 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation, compared to$335.0 million in the second quarter of 2019. The organic sales decrease includes mid-teen declines in both sales to customers in critical industries and in the segment's power tools operation. Segment gross margin in the second quarter of 2020 of 34.4% declined 420 bps from last year primarily due to the impact of lower sales volumes, including lower utilization of manufacturing capacity, 80 bps from$2.0 million of costs related to restructuring actions in the segment's European-based hand tools business, 70 bps of direct COVID-19-related costs and 50 bps of unfavorable foreign currency effects. These items were partially offset by material cost savings and benefits from the company's RCI initiatives. Segment operating expense margin in the second quarter of 2020 of 25.7% increased 170 bps as compared to last year primarily due to the impact of lower sales volumes and 50 bps for direct costs associated with COVID-19. These costs were partially offset by savings from cost containment actions. As a result of these factors, segment operating earnings of$22.9 million in the second quarter of 2020, including$3.0 million of direct costs associated with COVID-19,$2.0 million of restructuring charges and$1.9 million of unfavorable foreign currency effects, compared to$48.9 million in the second quarter of 2019.

The organic sales decrease primarily includes double-digit declines in sales in both the European-based hand tools business andAsia Pacific operations and a high single-digit decline in sales to customers in critical industries. Segment gross margin of 35.7% in the first six months of 2020 declined 380 bps from last year primarily due to the impact of lower sales volumes, including lower utilization of manufacturing capacity, 110 bps from$6.4 million of costs related to restructuring actions in the segment's European-based hand tools business, 60 bps for direct COVID-19-related costs and 30 bps of unfavorable foreign currency effects. These items were partially offset by material cost savings and by RCI initiatives.

Table of Contents SNAP-ON INCORPORATED MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Financial services expenses primarily include personnel-related and other general and administrative costs, as well as provisions for credit losses. These expenses are generally more dependent on changes in the size of the financial services portfolio than they are on the revenue of the segment. Financial services expenses in the second quarter of 2020 increased primarily due to higher provisions for credit losses and from non-recurring favorable loss experience in the second quarter of 2019. As a percentage of the average financial services portfolio, financial services expenses were 1.3% in the second quarter of 2020 and 1.1% in 2019.

In the first six months of 2020 and 2019 the respective average yields on contract receivables were 8.6% and 9.1%. The lower yield on contract receivables in the first six months of 2020 primarily reflects the impact of business operation support loans to franchisees in the COVID-19 environment. Originations of$511.4 million in the first six months of 2020 decreased$4.5 million , or 0.9%, from 2019 levels. Financial services expenses in the first six months of 2020 increased primarily due to higher provisions for credit losses related to the company's fiscal year 2020 adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), and$2.6 million , recorded in the first quarter of 2020, of higher credit reserve requirements associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Table of Contents SNAP-ON INCORPORATED MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Liquidity and Capital Resources Snap-on's growth has historically been funded by a combination of cash provided by operating activities and debt financing. Snap-on believes that its cash from operations and collections of finance receivables, coupled with its sources of borrowings and available cash on hand, are sufficient to fund its currently anticipated requirements for scheduled debt repayments, payments of interest and dividends, new receivables originated by our financial services businesses, capital expenditures, working capital, the funding of pension plans, and funding for share repurchases and acquisitions, if and as they arise. Due to Snap-on's credit rating over the years, external funds have been available at an acceptable cost. As of the close of business onJuly 24, 2020 , Snap-on's long-term debt and commercial paper were rated, respectively, A2 and P-1 by Moody's Investors Service; A- and A-2 byStandard & Poor's ; and A and F1 by Fitch Ratings. Snap-on believes that its current credit arrangements are sound and that the strength of its balance sheet affords the company the financial flexibility, including through access to financial markets for potential new financing, to respond to both internal growth opportunities and those available through acquisitions. However, based on current macroeconomic conditions resulting from the on-going uncertainty caused by COVID-19, Snap-on cannot provide any assurances of the availability of future financing or the terms on which it might be available, or that its debt ratings may not decrease. The following discussion focuses on information included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As ofJune 27, 2020 , working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of$1,943.0 million increased$510.1 million from$1,432.9 million as ofDecember 28, 2019 (fiscal 2019 year-end) primarily as a result of the net changes discussed below. The following represents the company's working capital position as ofJune 27, 2020 , andDecember 28, 2019 : June 27, December 28, (Amounts in millions) 2020 2019 Cash and cash equivalents$ 686.2 $ 184.5 Trade and other accounts receivable - net 563.5 694.6 Finance receivables - net 508.5 530.1 Contract receivables - net 97.7 100.7 Inventories - net 784.0 760.4 Prepaid expenses and other assets 132.5 110.2 Total current assets 2,772.4 2,380.5 Notes payable (12.1) (202.9) Accounts payable (186.2) (198.5) Other current liabilities (631.1) (546.2) Total current liabilities (829.4) (947.6) Total working capital$ 1,943.0 $ 1,432.9 Cash and cash equivalents of$686.2 million as ofJune 27, 2020 , increased$501.7 million from 2019 year-end levels primarily due to: (i)$489.9 million of net proceeds from theApril 30, 2020 issuance of$500 million of unsecured 3.10% notes that mature onMay 1, 2050 (the "2050 Notes"); (ii)$467.0 million of cash generated from operations; (iii)$357.5 million of cash from collections of finance receivables; and (iv)$13.8 million of cash proceeds from stock purchase and option plan exercises. These increases in cash and cash equivalents were partially offset by: (i) the funding of$414.6 million of new finance receivables; (ii)$190.0 million of net repayments on other short-term borrowings; (iii) dividend payments to shareholders of$117.7 million ; (iv) the repurchase of 349,000 shares of the company's common stock for$50.5 million ; (v) the funding of$29.0 million of capital expenditures; and (vi) the funding of$6.1 million for acquisitions. Of the$686.2 million of cash and cash equivalents as ofJune 27, 2020 ,$181.7 million was held outside ofthe United States . Snap-on maintains non-U.S. funds in its foreign operations to: (i) provide adequate working capital; (ii) satisfy various regulatory requirements; and/or (iii) take advantage of business expansion opportunities as they arise. Although the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") generally eliminatedU.S. federal taxation of dividends from foreign subsidiaries, such dividends may still be subject to state income taxation and foreign withholding taxes. Snap-on periodically evaluates its cash held outsidethe United States and may pursue opportunities to repatriate certain foreign cash amounts to the extent that it does not incur unfavorable net tax consequences. 56

Table of ContentsSNAP-ON INCORPORATED MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Trade and other accounts receivable - net of$563.5 million as ofJune 27, 2020 , decreased$131.1 million from 2019 year-end levels, primarily due to the impact of lower sales volume as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, collections and$8.2 million of foreign currency translation. Days sales outstanding (trade and other accounts receivable - net as of the respective period end, divided by the respective trailing 12 months sales, times 360 days) was 59 days atJune 27, 2020 , and 67 days atDecember 28, 2019 . The current portions of net finance and contract receivables of$606.2 million as ofJune 27, 2020 , compared to$630.8 million at 2019 year end. The long-term portions of net finance and contract receivables of$1,507.2 million as ofJune 27, 2020 , compared to$1,463.6 million at 2019 year end. The combined$19.0 million increase in net current and long-term finance and contract receivables over 2019 year-end levels is primarily due to the continued growth of the company's financial services portfolio, partially offset by$7.5 million of foreign currency translation,$8.1 million of provision charges resulting from the company's fiscal year 2020 adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and$2.6 million of higher credit reserve requirements as a result of the economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Inventories - net of$784.0 million as ofJune 27, 2020 , increased$23.6 million from 2019 year-end levels primarily to support critical industries, partially offset by$6.1 million of foreign currency translation. Inventory turns (trailing 12 months of cost of goods sold, divided by the average of the beginning and ending inventory balance for the trailing 12 months) were 2.3 turns and 2.6 turns as ofJune 27, 2020 , andDecember 28, 2019 , respectively. Inventories accounted for using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method approximated 58% of total inventories as of bothJune 27, 2020 , andDecember 28, 2019 , respectively. All other inventories are accounted for using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. The company's LIFO reserve was$84.5 million as of bothJune 27, 2020 , andDecember 28, 2019 . Notes payable of$12.1 million as ofJune 27, 2020 , represented other notes. There were no commercial paper borrowings outstanding as ofJune 27, 2020 . As of 2019 year end, notes payable of$202.9 million included$193.6 million of commercial paper borrowings and$9.3 million of other notes. Accounts payable of$186.2 million as ofJune 27, 2020 , decreased$12.3 million from 2019 year-end levels primarily due to the timing of payments and$0.3 million of foreign currency translation. Other accrued liabilities of$435.4 million as ofJune 27, 2020 , increased$64.6 million from 2019 year-end levels primarily due to higher income tax accruals, for which the payment due date was extended as a result of COVID-19, partially offset by$1.8 million of foreign currency translation. Long-term debt of$1,436.7 million as ofJune 27, 2020 , consisted of: (i)$250 million of unsecured 6.125% notes that mature in 2021 (the "2021 Notes"); (ii)$300 million of unsecured 3.25% notes that mature in 2027 (the "2027 Notes"); (iii)$400 million of unsecured 4.10% notes that mature in 2048 (the "2048 Notes"); and (iv)$500 million of the 2050 Notes, partially offset by$13.3 million from the net effects of debt amortization costs and fair value adjustments of interest rate swaps. Long-term debt of$946.9 million as of 2019 year end consisted of: (i)$250 million of the 2021 Notes; (ii)$300 million of the 2027 Notes; and (iii)$400 million of the 2048 Notes, partially offset by$3.1 million from the net effects of debt amortization costs and fair value adjustments of interest rate swaps. Snap-on has an$800 million multi-currency revolving credit facility that terminates onSeptember 16, 2024 (the "Credit Facility"); no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility as ofJune 27, 2020 . Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at varying rates based on either: (i) Snap-on's then-current, long-term debt ratings; or (ii) Snap-on's then-current ratio of consolidated debt net of certain cash adjustments ("Consolidated Net Debt") to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other adjustments for the preceding four fiscal quarters then ended (the "Consolidated Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio"). The Credit Facility's financial covenant requires that Snap-on maintain, as of each fiscal quarter end, either (i) a ratio not greater than 0.60 to 1.00 of Consolidated Net Debt to the sum of Consolidated Net Debt plus total equity and less accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (the "Leverage Ratio"); or (ii) a Consolidated Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio not greater than 3.50 to 1.00. Snap-on may, up to two times during any five-year period during the term of the Credit Facility (including any extensions thereof), elect to increase the maximum Leverage Ratio to 0.65 to 1.00 and/or increase the maximum Consolidated Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio to 4.00 to 1.00 for four consecutive fiscal quarters in connection with certain material acquisitions (as defined in the related credit agreement). As ofJune 27, 2020 , the company's actual ratios of 0.17 and 0.86 respectively, were both within the permitted ranges set forth in this financial covenant. Snap-on generally issues commercial paper to fund its financing needs on a short-term basis and uses the Credit Facility as back-up liquidity to support such commercial paper issuances. 57

Table of ContentsSNAP-ON INCORPORATED MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Snap-on believes it has sufficient available cash and access to both committed and uncommitted credit facilities to cover its expected funding needs on both a short-term and long-term basis, however, it is continuing to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and the credit and financial markets. Snap-on manages its aggregate short-term borrowings so as not to exceed its availability under the Credit Facility. Snap-on believes that it can access short-term debt markets, predominantly through commercial paper issuances and existing lines of credit, to fund its short-term requirements and to ensure near-term liquidity. Snap-on regularly monitors the credit and financial markets and, if it believes conditions are favorable, it may take advantage of such conditions to issue long-term debt to further improve its liquidity and capital resources. Near-term liquidity requirements for Snap-on include scheduled debt payments, payments of interest and dividends, funding to support new receivables originated by our financial services businesses, capital expenditures, working capital, the funding of pension plans, and funding for share repurchases and acquisitions, if and as they arise. Snap-on intends to make contributions of$8.7 million to its foreign pension plans and$2.9 million to its domestic pension plans in 2020, as required by law. Depending on market and other conditions, Snap-on may make discretionary cash contributions to its pension plans in 2020. Snap-on's long-term financing strategy is to maintain continuous access to the debt markets to accommodate its liquidity needs, including the potential use of commercial paper, additional fixed-term debt and/or securitizations. The following discussion focuses on information included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was$467.0 million and$346.8 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The$120.2 million year-over-year increase in net cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects an increase of$247.8 million from net changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by a$119.1 million decrease in net earnings. Investing Activities Net cash used by investing activities of$95.4 million in the first six months of 2020 included additions to finance receivables of$414.6 million , partially offset by collections of$357.5 million . Net cash used by investing activities of$103.9 million in the first six months of 2019 included additions to finance receivables of$431.1 million , partially offset by collections of$383.5 million . Finance receivables are comprised of extended-term installment payment contracts to both technicians and independent shop owners (i.e., franchisees' customers) to enable them to purchase tools and diagnostic and equipment products on an extended-term payment plan, generally with payment terms of approximately four years. Net cash used by investing activities in the respective first six months of 2020 and 2019 also included$6.1 million and$9.3 million for acquisitions. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about acquisitions. Capital expenditures were$29.0 million and$48.2 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Capital expenditures in both years included continued investments related to the company's execution of its strategic Value Creation Processes around safety, quality, customer connection, innovation and RCI. The lower capital spending as compared to the prior year was a result of decreased expenditures as a result of the economic uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities of$132.4 million in the first six months of 2020 included Snap-on's sale, onApril 30, 2020 , of$500 million of the 2050 Notes at a discount, from which Snap-on received$489.9 million of net proceeds, reflecting$4.4 million of transactions costs, partially offset by repayments of notes payable and other short-term borrowings of$190.0 million . Net cash used by financing activities of$220.7 million in the first six months of 2019 included repayments of notes payable and other short-term borrowings of$18.2 million . 58

Table of ContentsSNAP-ON INCORPORATED MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Proceeds from stock purchase and option plan exercises totaled$13.8 million and$24.6 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Snap-on has undertaken stock repurchases from time to time to offset dilution created by shares issued for employee and franchisee stock purchase plans, as well as stock options, and for other corporate purposes. In the first six months of 2020, Snap-on repurchased 349,000 shares of its common stock for$50.5 million under its previously announced share repurchase programs. In the first six months of 2019, Snap-on repurchased 660,000 shares of its common stock for$107.5 million under its previously announced share repurchase programs. As ofJune 27, 2020 , Snap-on had remaining availability to repurchase up to an additional$330.4 million in common stock pursuant to its Board's authorizations. The purchase of Snap-on common stock is at the company's discretion, subject to prevailing financial and market conditions. Snap-on believes that its cash generated from operations, available cash on hand, and funds available from its credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund the company's additional share repurchases, if any. Snap-on has paid consecutive quarterly cash dividends, without interruption or reduction, since 1939. Cash dividends totaled$117.7 million and$105.3 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. OnNovember 8, 2019 , the Board increased the quarterly cash dividend by 13.7% to$1.08 per share ($4.32 per share annualized). Snap-on believes that its cash generated from operations, available cash on hand, and funds available from its credit facilities, will be sufficient to pay dividends. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as ofJune 27, 2020 . Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Snap-on's disclosures of its critical accounting policies, which are contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedDecember 28, 2019 , and on Form 10-Q for the period endedMarch 28, 2020 , have not materially changed since those reports were filed. Outlook COVID-19 has spread across the globe during 2020 and is impacting economic activity worldwide. Snap-on experienced improving trends in the second quarter as our operations learned to accommodate the risks and safely pursue opportunities in the COVID-19 environment. In the near term, the company believes there will be continued sequential improvements, reflecting increasing levels of accommodations to the virus-related turbulence, though it cannot provide assurances on the rate of progress due to the uncertain and evolving nature and duration of the pandemic. Snap-on is responding to the global macroeconomic challenges by deepening its RCI, sourcing and other cost reduction initiatives. Snap-on recorded$4.0 million and$11.5 million of costs related to restructuring actions in the second quarter and first six months of 2020, respectively. Snap-on will continue to manage its cash flows and balance its capital allocation priorities, including investments and the need for further cost reduction actions; the COVID-19 pandemic makes it difficult to presently predict this balance as the company continually adjusts to the changing environment. Snap-on expects that capital expenditures in 2020 will be in a range of$75 million to$85 million , of which$29.0 million was incurred in the first six months of the year. Despite near term uncertainty, Snap-on expects to maintain focus on its defined runways for coherent growth, leveraging capabilities already demonstrated in the automotive repair arena and developing and expanding its professional customer base, not only in automotive repair, but in adjacent markets, additional geographies and other areas, including extending in critical industries, where the cost and penalties for failure can be high.
Snap-on currently anticipates that its full year 2020 effective income tax rate will be in the range of 23% to 25%.
