COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ---------------------------------------------------- (Dollars and Shares in Millions Except Per Share Amounts) (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in management's opinion, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for interim periods. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 may not be representative of results to be expected for a full year. 2. Provision for certain expenses, including income taxes, media advertising, consumer promotion and new product introductory costs, are based on full year assumptions. Such expenses are charged to operations in the year incurred and are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in proportion with the passage of time or with estimated annual tax rates or annual sales. 3. Sales Incentives and Promotional Expenses On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-14 "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives" and Issue No. 00-25 "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products" that relate to the classification of various types of sales incentives and promotional expenses. The new accounting resulted in the reclassification of certain sales incentives and promotional expenses from selling, general and administrative expenses to a reduction of net sales and cost of sales, but had no impact on the Company's net income or earnings per share. The financial information for the first quarter of 2001 reflects these reclassifications which reduced net sales and cost of sales by $80.4 and $1.0, respectively, with an offsetting reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses. 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" effective January 1, 2002. Under the new standard, goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, such as the Company's global brands, are no longer amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets with finite lives, such as non-compete agreements, will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The transitional impairment tests were completed and did not result in an impairment charge. In accordance with SFAS 142, prior period amounts were not restated. A reconciliation of the previously reported net income and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2001 to the amounts adjusted for the reduction of amortization expense, net of the related income tax effect, is as follows: Net Income Basic EPS Diluted EPS ---------- --------- ----------- Reported $ 267.9 $ .47 $ .44 Add: amortization adjustment 11.2 .02 .01 ----------- ------ ----- Adjusted $ 279.1 $ .49 $ .45 =========== ===== ===== 6

The net carrying value of goodwill as of March 31, 2002 by operating segment is as follows: North America $ 248.9 Latin America 549.3 Europe 346.6 Asia/Africa 100.2 ----------- Total Oral, Personal and Household Care 1,245.0 Total Pet Nutrition 15.0 ----------- $ 1,260.0 =========== Finite life intangible assets as of March 31, 2002, subject to amortization expense, are comprised of the following: Gross Carrying Accumulated Amount Amortization Net ------ ------------ --- Trademarks $ 367.8 $ (114.2) $ 253.6 Other 42.4 (37.7) 4.7 --------- ---------- --------- $ 410.2 $ (151.9) $ 258.3 ========= ========== ========= Amortization expense for trademarks and other intangible assets with finite lives was $3.2 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Annual estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is expected to approximate $12.0. 5. Inventories by major classes were as follows: March 31, December 31, 2002 2001 ---------- ------------ Raw materials and supplies $ 182.5 $ 188.0 Work-in-process 32.3 27.9 Finished goods 494.2 461.1 --------- --------- $ 709.0 $ 677.0 ========= ========= 7

COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL ------------------------------------------------- CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ----------------------------------- (Dollars in Millions Except Per Share Amounts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations - --------------------- Worldwide sales were $2,195.2 in the first quarter of 2002 reflecting unit volume gains of 2.5% offset by a decline in foreign currencies. Sales, excluding divestments, decreased 0.5% and would have risen 3% excluding the effect of foreign currency declines. First quarter sales in the Oral, Personal and Household Care segment were $1,925.2 down 1.0% from 2001 on volume growth of 2.5% offset by foreign currencies. Colgate-North America sales grew 3.5% in the first quarter of 2002 to $576.7 as volume gains of 3.0% were primarily driven by new product sales and market share gains. Volume and market share gains in the Oral Care category were attributable to recently introduced products including Colgate Total Plus Whitening and Colgate Fresh Confidence toothpastes and Colgate Motion battery-powered toothbrush. In the Personal Care category, Lady Speed Stick Invisible Dry and Speed Stick Power of Nature deodorants and Softsoap Vitamins with vitamin E body wash contributed to increased volume and market shares in the region. Colgate-Latin America sales decreased 5.0%, excluding divestments, to $535.3 due to volume declines of 1.0% and the impact of foreign currency. Volume gains in Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Peru were offset by volume declines in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, continuing sales would have risen 1%. Despite the volume declines in the region, recently introduced products such as Colgate Triple Action and Colgate Herbal White toothpastes and Colgate Active Flexible and Colgate Premier Ultra toothbrushes helped to strengthen our market share leadership in the Oral Care category. In the Personal and Household Surface Care categories, recently introduced products including Mennen Speed Stick Power of Nature deodorants, Fabuloso Lavender liquid cleaner and Axion Apple Fantasy dishwashing paste experienced volume gains in the region. Colgate-Europe sales decreased 1.0% to $444.7 as volume gains of 4.0% were negatively impacted by the weakened euro. Excluding currency, sales would have risen 3% largely due to volume gains in the United Kingdom, the Nordic Group, Russia, Poland, Portugal and Greece. Volume and market share gains within the region were primarily due to recently introduced products including Colgate Herbal and Colgate Total Plus Whitening toothpastes, Colgate Motion battery-powered toothbrush and Colgate Zig Zag manual toothbrush. Contributing to growth in the Personal and Household Surface Care categories in the region were recently introduced products including Palmolive Aromatherapy shower gel and bath foam, Palmolive Fruit Essentials translucent bar soap, Ajax glass and all purpose cleaner wipes, and Ajax Floral Fiesta powder scourer. Colgate-Asia/Africa sales decreased 3.0% to $368.5 as volume gains of 3.5% were negatively impacted by foreign currency. Excluding currency, sales would have risen 2%. The strongest volume gains were achieved in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Vietnam and South Africa. Volume gains were led by recently introduced products including Colgate Triple Action, Colgate Herbal White and Colgate Fresh Confidence toothpastes, Protex Herbal soap and talc, Palmolive Fresh soap and Softlan fabric conditioner. Sales in the Pet Nutrition segment increased 2.5% to $270.0 on volume gains of 4.0% with volume increases in North America and internationally. Excluding currency, sales would have risen 5%. Hill's experienced volume and market share growth in the North American specialty retail and veterinary channels led by recently introduced products including Science Diet Oral Care for cats and dogs, and Prescription Diet Canine b/d, a 10
COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL ------------------------------------------------- CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ----------------------------------- (Dollars in Millions Except Per Share Amounts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- clinically proven product that reduces the signs of canine brain aging. Internationally, volume gains in Europe, Asia and the South Pacific were partially offset by declines in Latin America, which was affected by the local economic conditions. Worldwide gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2002 increased to 54.8% from 53.4% in 2001 as the Company continued to benefit from continued streamlining of manufacturing, global sourcing and other cost reduction programs. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased slightly to 33.8% in 2002 from 33.4% in 2001. The non-cash benefit of reduced amortization expense from the adoption of SFAS 142 was offset by an increase in non-cash pension and benefit costs and unrealized losses on foreign currency contracts. These contracts are an economic hedge of certain foreign currency debt but do not qualify for hedge accounting. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased 4% to $460.7, and reached a level of 21.0% of sales versus 20.0% in the same year ago period. Interest expense, net of interest income decreased to $34.9 in the 2002 first quarter as compared with $43.6 in 2001 due to the effect of lower interest rates partially offset by higher debt levels in 2002. The effective tax rate was 32.0% and 32.7% in the first quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The 32.0% reflects the Company's current estimate of its full year effective income tax rate which is slightly higher than the 2001 full year rate of 31.3%. First quarter 2002 net income increased 8% to $289.7 while diluted earnings per share increased 11% to $0.49. If first quarter 2001 results were adjusted for the impact of SFAS 142, EBIT, net income and diluted earnings per share would have been $455.5, $279.1 and $.45, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Net cash provided by operations decreased 6% to $324.1 in the first quarter of 2002 compared with $344.2 in 2001. The decrease results from increased tax payments of $133.2 in 2002 versus $44.3 in 2001. The 2002 tax payments include $40.7 related to 2001 fourth quarter estimated tax payments that were deferred into the first quarter of 2002 under a U.S. Government relief granted to New York City based corporate taxpayers due to the September 11th terrorist attacks. The increased tax payments are also due to the Company's increasing profitability and proper application of estimated tax payment rules further deferring payments into 2002. Accordingly, total tax payments for the 2002 fiscal year are expected to exceed payments made in the prior year. At March 31, 2002, $623.4 of commercial paper was classified as long-term debt in accordance with the Company's intent and ability to refinance these obligations on a long-term basis. Reference should be made to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 for additional information regarding available sources of liquidity and capital. 11
