5 REGAL-BELOIT CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2000 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION --------------------- The condensed financial statements include the accounts of Regal-Beloit Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All adjustments which management believes are necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been reflected and are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested these statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. 2. INVENTORIES ----------- Cost for approximately 90% of the Company s inventory is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation method. The approximate percentage distribution between major classes of inventories is as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> <S> <C> <C> Sept. 30, 2000 December 31, 1999 -------------- ----------------- Raw Material 15% 14% Work-in Process 19% 26% Finished Goods 66% 60% </TABLE> 3. ACQUISITIONS ------------ On September 29, 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Leeson Electric Corporation, a private company, for approximately $260,000,000 in cash. The acquisition of Leeson had no impact on the third quarter 2000 Statement of Income. Leeson is a full line North American manufacturer and marketer of electric motors and related products. Its sales for the 12 months ended June 30, 2000 were $175,000,000. The Leeson acquisition was financed with loans obtained from a new $450,000,000, 5.25-year, multi-bank credit facility the Company entered into on September 28, 2000. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources under Item 2.) Leeson's assets and liabilities have been included in the September 30, 2000 Consolidated Balance Sheet on a preliminary valuation basis. Under the purchase accounting rules of generally accepted accounting principles, all assets and liabilities will be valued at fair market value. The valuation of assets and liabilities has not yet been completed. Accordingly, the value ascribed to goodwill is an interim value that will likely change as valuation work is completed in the coming months. The following are the preliminary values of the significant Leeson assets and liabilities included in the Condensed Balance Sheet at September 30, 2000: <TABLE> <CAPTION> <S> <C> Receivables $ 26,619,000 Inventories $ 42,200,000 Net Property, Plant and Equipment $ 34,610,000 Goodwill $ 168,530,000 Current Liabilities $ 16,335,000 </TABLE> The financial statements on pages 3-5 also incorporate the results of operations and the assets and liabilities of Thomson Technology Inc. ("TTI") after June 29, 2000, the date TTI was acquired by the Company at a
6 purchase price of approximately $10,000,000. TTI is a Vancouver, BC, Canada based manufacturer of power systems controls for the worldwide power generation market. The referenced financial statements also include the results of operations and the assets and liabilities of Lincoln Motors, after May 28, 1999, the date the business was acquired by the Company. 4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME -------------------- The Company's comprehensive income is solely impacted by the amount of the cumulative translation adjustments recorded to shareholders' equity. For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the impact was $447,000 of expense resulting in net comprehensive income of $7,997,000 for the quarter. The impact in the third quarter of 1999 was $515,000 of income resulting in net comprehensive income of $9,982,000. In the first nine months of 2000, the impact is an expense of $1,163,000 resulting in net comprehensive income of $26,160,000. The impact in the first nine months of 1999 was $273,000 of expense resulting in net comprehensive income of $28,037,000. 5. BUSINESS SEGMENTS ----------------- The Company operates two strategic businesses that are reportable segments: the Mechanical Group and the Electrical Group. <TABLE> <CAPTION> (In Thousands of Dollars) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Group Electrical Group ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ Third Quarter Nine Months Third Quarter Nine Months ---------------- ----------------- --------------- ------------------ 2000 1999 2000 1999 2000 1999 2000 1999 ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------ ------- -------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Net Sales $58,013 61,439 184,292 190,443 78,482 80,853 238,271 $216,172 Income from Operations $ 6,586 8,452 23,483 26,711 10,084 9,740 29,487 $ 27,406 Income from Operations as a % of Net Sales 11.4% 13.8% 12.7% 14.0% 12.8% 12.0% 12.4% 12.7% </TABLE> Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial ------------------------------------------------- Condition and Results of Operations ----------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Net sales of the Company in third quarter 2000 were $136,495,000, a 4.1% decrease from $142,292,000 in third quarter 1999. Mechanical Group third quarter 2000 sales were down 5.6% from comparable 1999 due to broad-based weakness in the agricultural equipment, transportation, marine, construction equipment and industrial machinery markets. The diversity of markets served by the Mechanical Group is considered by Management to be a key asset of the Company; however, this unusual broad-based slowdown could not be overcome by new products introduced and the market penetration that the Company achieved. Electrical Group sales in third quarter 2000 were 2.9% below comparable 1999 sales, primarily as a result of the same factors as for the Mechanical Group and to reduced sales to the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) market due to mild spring and summer months. Much of the general market reduction was offset through better market penetration by the Electrical Group's distributor network. (See Note 5. to Financial Statements for business segment data.) The Company's net sales for nine months 2000 were $422,563,000, a 3.9% increase from $406,615,000 in the previous year's nine months. While Mechanical Group nine months 2000 sales were 3.2% below comparable 1999 sales, Electrical Group sales for the same period increased 10.2% from the prior year. Sales of the Electrical Group's electric motors, other than its Lincoln motors product line, benefited substantially from several growth initiatives that resulted in approximately 5% internal growth from comparable
7 1999. This growth plus a full year of sales of the Electrical Group's Lincoln motors products yielded the overall 10.2% sales increase over nine months 1999. Gross profit for the Company was $38,115,000 in the third quarter and represented 27.9% of net sales, as compared to $38,728,000 and 27.2% a year previously. This increase in gross profit margin resulted primarily from increased Electrical Group gross profit margin during the quarter due to favorable product mix of sales and manufacturing variances. For nine months 2000, Company gross profit of $119,768,000 increased 6.1% from comparable 1999's $112,922,000 due primarily to increased sales. Gross profit margin for nine months 2000 was 28.3% as compared to 27.8% in comparable 1999, again due to increased Electrical Group gross profit margin, for the same reasons as for third quarter 2000 discussed above. Operating expenses as a percent of net sales increased to 15.7% in third quarter 2000 from 14.4% a year earlier. For nine months year-to-date, the same percentages for 2000 and 1999 were 15.8% and 14.5%, respectively. The increases in both time periods were due primarily to higher freight, fuel and other distribution costs this year versus last year. Both the Mechanical and Electrical Groups experienced higher operating expenses as a percent of net sales for both time periods. Income from operations for the Company was $16,670,000 (12.2% of sales) in third quarter 2000, an 8.4% decrease from $18,192,000 (12.8% of sales) a year ago. For nine months year-to-date, the comparable numbers were $52,970,000 (12.5% of sales) in 2000, a 2.1% decrease from $54,117,000 (13.3% of sales) in 1999. The increased operating expenses as a percent of net sales more than offset the improvement in gross profit margins in both time periods. Interest expense was $2,514,000 in the third quarter and $7,232,000 for nine months 2000, increases of 3.1% and 3.0% from comparable 1999 interest expense. Higher interest rates in the U.S. led to increased interest expense which was partly offset by lower average outstanding long-term debt. The Company's effective tax rate in 2000 is slightly higher than in 1999 due primarily to a slight increase in the effective overall state tax rate. Net income earned in 2000's third quarter of $8,444,000 was 10.8% lower than net income of $9,467,000 in comparable 1999. Nine months 2000 net income of $27,323,000 reflects a 3.5% decrease from year-to-date 1999 net income of $28,310,000. Earnings per share (diluted) were $.40 versus $.45 for the third quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $1.30 versus $1.34 for nine months 2000 and 1999, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- Working capital at September 30, 2000 was $184,860,000, a 41% increase from $131,370,000 at December 31, 2000, due primarily to the assets and liabilities acquired in the Leeson Electric acquisition. (See Note 3. to Financial Statements.) The Company's cash flow from operations in the third quarter 2000 was $10,351,000. Coupled with $264,802,000 in cash flow from financing activities in the quarter, these two positive cash amounts were used to fund the Leeson Electric acquisition and capital expenditures during the third quarter, which were reflected in cash flows from investing activities. Outstanding commitments at September 30, 2000 for future capital expenditures were approximately $825,000. Outstanding long-term debt at September 30, 2000 was $397,038,000, an increase of $253,975,000 from June 30, 2000 and $248,872,000 from December 31, 1999. The increase was due entirely to borrowings needed to fund the Leeson Electric acquisition. On September 28, 2000, the Company entered into a new $450,000,000, unsecured, 5.25 year, revolving credit facility with 20 banks (the "Facility") under which $396,000,000 of debt was outstanding at September 30, 2000. Including approximately $2,000,000 of standby letters of credit, the Company had $52,000,000 of available borrowing capacity under the Facility at September 30, 2000. The Facility provides for interest to be paid at an interest rate which varies based upon LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus a variable margin based upon the Company's leverage ratio at the end of a calendar quarter. The Company's initial interest rate under the Facility at September 30, 2000 was approximately 7.9%. The Facility also has several financial covenants with
8 which the Company is in compliance. Management believes that the credit facilities it has in place provide sufficient borrowing capacity for the Company to finance its operations for the foreseeable future, to make selected acquisitions and to accomplish the stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in 2000.
