Ross & Company for approximately $350 million in Atlanta, Georgiacash. The results of operations of Lees Carpet have been included with the Mohawk segment results and Dallas, Texas, where customers of local builders, remodelers, architects, designers and contractors may view and select ceramic tile and natural stonein the Company's consolidated financial statements since that date. The primary reason for their building projects. The Company recently acquired a significant portion of its ceramic tile businessthe acquisition was to expand the Company's presence in its merger with Dal-Tile.

Industry

      The floorcovering industry has grown from $12.4 billion in sales in 1992 to $20.1$20.3 billion in 2000.2002. In 2000,2002, the primary categories of the United States floorcovering industry were carpet and rugs (63%(65%), ceramic tile (11%(12%), vinyl and rubber (14%(10%), hardwood (8%(9%) and laminate (4%). Each of these categories has been positively impacted by: .

  • U.S. population growth, requiring new and renovated housing and commercial space; .
  • increasing average house size (up approximately 30% since 1980);size; and .
  • growth in vacation homes.housing starts and housing resales.

      Compound average growth rates for units sold (measured by square yards) for each of the floorcovering categories above for the period from 1992 through 20002002, with the exception of the vinyl and rubber category, have met or exceeded the growth rate offor both the gross domestic product of the United States and housing starts over the same period. During this period, the compound average growth rate was 4.4%3.6% for carpet and rugs, 10.6%10.3% for ceramic tile, 5.0%1.3% for vinyl and rubber and 9.1%8.0% for hardwood. Laminate, which is a relatively new product, experienced a compound average growth rate of 39.9%41.5% from 1996 through 2000.2002.

      According to the most recent figures available from the United States Department of Commerce, worldwide carpet and rug sales volume of American manufacturers and their domestic divisions was 2.01.9 billion square yards in 2000.2002. This volume represents a market in excess of approximately $12 billion. The overall level of sales in the carpet industry is influenced by a number of factors, including consumer confidence, spending for durable goods, interest rates, turnover in housing, the condition of the residential and commercial construction industries and the overall strength of the economy.

      Broadloom carpet, defined as carpet over six feet by nine feet in size, represented 80%73% of the amounts shipped by the industry in 2000.2002. Tufted broadloom carpet, a category that refers to the manner of construction in 3 addition to size, represented 83.5%86.0% of the broadloom industry volume shipped in 2000.2002. The broadloom carpet industry has two primary markets, residential and commercial, with the residential market making up approximately 69%75% of industry amounts shipped in 20002002 and the commercial market comprising approximately 31%25%. An estimated 47%50% of industry shipments are made in response to replacement demand, which usually involves exact yardage, or "cut order," shipments that typically provide higher profit margins than sales of carpet sold in full rolls. Because the replacement business generally involves higher quality carpet cut to order by the manufacturer, rather than the dealer, this business tends to be more profitable for manufacturers than the new construction business.

      The United States ceramic tile industry shipped 2.32.6 billion square feet, or $2.1$2.3 billion, in 2000, which represents an 8.1% and 5.9% growth rate over 1999, respectively.2002. The compound average growth rate of dollar shipments was 9.5%8.0% from 19961992 through 20002002 for ceramic tile. Sales in the ceramic tile industry are influenced by the same factors that influence the carpet industry, including consumer confidence, spending for durable goods, interest rates, turnover in housing, the condition of the residential and commercial construction industries and the overall strength of the economy. Glazed floor and wall tile represented 86% of the total industry dollars shipped in 2000. The balance of the industry 2000 dollar shipments are represented by unglazed mosaic and porcelain, 11.0% of total, and quarry tile, 3.0% of total.

      The ceramic tile industry's two primary markets, residential applications and commercial applications, represent 67.6%62.0% and 32.0%36.0% of the industry total, respectively. Of the total residential market, 62%67% of the dollar shipments are for new construction. Competitive Strengths


Sales and Business Strategies Competitive Strengths The Company's competitive strengths include: Strong Brand Equity. The Company's collection of national brands represents one of the strongest portfolios in the floorcovering industry. The Company has built strong brand equity by being a leader in service, quality and product innovation in its industry. The Company's established brands also provide it with a powerful platform for growth through new products and product line extensions. Position as Market Leader. The Company is the second largest carpet and rug manufacturer in the United States and, as a result of its recent acquisition of Dal-Tile, it is now a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of ceramic tile and natural stone in the United States. Superior Distribution System. The Company believes it provides superior product availability and faster delivery for customers of its carpet and rug business through its hub-and-spoke distribution network consisting of nine regional warehouses and over 40 smaller satellite distribution centers. The Company's distribution centers are supplied and serviced by its transportation fleet, which operates over 750 trucks and trailers. The Company's use of advanced management information systems allows it to monitor a transaction from the customer order through manufacturing to shipment of the finished product and to operate its separate facilities in a more integrated fashion, resulting in faster delivery times, lower costs and increased operational efficiencies. The Company's acquisition of Dal-Tile added over 200 customer service centers, as well as three regional distribution centers, located strategically throughout the United States, which provides it with opportunities to expand its distribution capabilities. Strong Customer Service. The Company is focused on building and maintaining long-term relationships with its customers. The Company assists its customers in selling its products and expanding their businesses by providing differentiated products and presentations. The Company also provides additional services that enhance its relationships with its customers, such as merchandising, training and administrative support programs.

In addition, in 2001, commercial designers gave

Combining Dal-Tile's extensive ceramic and stone product offerings with Mohawk's products will provide the Company's customers with one of the broadest product offerings in the industry. This broad range of product offerings provides a foundation for the Company's goal of becoming the one-stop supplier of floorcovering products for residential and commercial applications. Experienced Management. The Company's experienced management team has driven its successful performance by emphasizing customer satisfaction, operating efficiency, cost control, acquisition integration and product design. In 2002, the Company was named Fortune magazine's Most Admired Company in the Textiles category. Business Strategies The Company's business strategies are designed to take advantage of its competitive strengths while maintaining its focus on meeting or exceeding its customers' requirements. As a part of the Company's overall strategy, it has implemented the following marketing, operations and acquisition strategies designed to increase market share and achieve profitable growth through a focus on high-quality, low-cost production offered with superior service at competitive prices. Marketing Strategy. The Company's marketing strategy includes initiatives designed to more fully develop and support its independent dealer base in order to increase the demand for its products. Key elements of the Company's marketing strategy include: . continuing to offer high-value, quality products; . using advertising and marketing programs to leverage the substantial brand equity of the Company's products, with a particular focus on high-growth product categories; . seeking to develop marketing programs with the Company's customers; . dedicating separate sales forces to each of the Company's major distribution channels; and . offering merchandising, training and administrative support programs to the Company's customers on a national level to support product sales and assist in expanding their businesses. Operations Strategy. The Company's operating strategy is to capitalize on its competitive strengths to be both highly efficient and cost effective in its manufacturing, marketing, distribution and administrative services. To this end, the Company has structured its manufacturing operations to include the vertical integration of production facilities using low-cost manufacturing techniques with a superior distribution network. The Company's carpet and rug operations are vertically integrated from the extrusion of resin into fiber, to the conversion of fiber into yarn and to the manufacture and distribution of finished carpet and rugs. The Company's ceramic tile operations are vertically integrated from the production of frit and manufacturing supplies to the manufacture of ceramic tile at modern facilities in both the United States and Mexico to the distribution of finished ceramic tile through its three separate distribution channels. The Company continues to evaluate enhancements in manufacturing technology, operational procedures and management information systems and to its hub-and-spoke distribution system where the Company believes the investments will allow it to improve operating efficiencies or otherwise reduce costs or improve customer service. Acquisition Strategy. The Company's acquisition strategy is to continue to explore growth through acquisition opportunities in an effort to expand its product offerings, reduce its costs of production through vertical integration, and maintain its position as a leading producer of floorcovering products for residential and commercial applications. The Company regularly evaluates acquisition opportunities that would help it meet these goals. 5 The Company's management team has considerable experience in completing acquisitions. Since the Company's initial public offering in 1992 (the "Initial Public Offering"), and prior to its merger with Dal-Tile, the Company completed and integrated twelve acquisitions that collectively have (i) broadened price points; (ii) increased the Company's vertical integration; (iii) expanded distribution capabilities; (iv) facilitated entry into niche or complementary businesses, such as rugs, decorative throws, bedspreads, coverlets and ceramic tile and (v) added to the depth of the Company's management team. Sales and Distribution Carpet and Rug Business. The Company designs, manufactures and markets hundreds of styles of carpet and rugs in a broad range of colors, textures and patterns. In addition, the Mohawk segment markets and distributes ceramic tile, laminate, hardwood and vinyl floor covering. The carpet and rug divisionMohawk segment positions its products in all price ranges and emphasizes quality, style, performance and service.

The Company markets and distributes carpet and rugs through over 30,00034,000 customers, which include independent carpetfloor covering retailers, home centers, mass merchandisers, department stores, commercial dealers, and commercial end users. Some products are also marketed through private labeling programs. Sales to residential customers represent a significant portion of the total industry and the majority of the Company's carpet and rug sales. The Company currently markets approximately 650 residential products to its customers, which include independent retailers, department stores, mass merchandisers, buying groups and building and tenant improvement contractors.

      The Company has positioned its premier residential carpet and rug brand names across all price ranges. "Mohawk," "Custom Weave," "WundaWeve," "Bigelow," "Galaxy," "Horizon," "Helios" and "Karastan" are positioned to sell primarily in the medium-to-high retail price range in the residential broadloom market, and these lines are also sold under private labels. These lines have substantial brand name recognition among carpet dealers and retailers with the "Karastan," "Mohawk" and "Bigelow""Mohawk" brands having the highest consumer recognition in the industry. "Karastan" is the leader in the exclusive high-end market. The "Aladdin" and "World" brand names compete primarily in the low-to-medium retail price range.

      The Company offers intensive marketing and advertising support through dealer programs like Karastan Gallery, Mohawk ColorCenter and Mohawk Floorscapes. These programs offer varying degrees of support to dealers in the form of sales and management training, merchandising systems, exclusive promotions and assistance in certain administrative functions such as consumer credit, advertising and insurance.

      The Company's carpet and rug business generally markets its residential products through its residential sales forces that reportare generally organized based on product type and sales channels in order to common managementbest serve each type of customer. A hub-and-spoke distribution network accomplishes the product distribution on a regional basis. All of the regional vice presidents report to one senior vice president of sales. Each region has responsibility for sales, distribution and inventory management in its region, all of which is coordinated by the senior vice president of sales at a national level. The inventory management on a regional level is accomplished by a hub-and-spoke distribution network. In this system, the Company's trucks generally deliver carpetproduct from millmanufacturing and central distribution sites to regional warehouses. From there, it is shipped to retailers or to local distribution warehouses, then to retailers.

      The commercial customer base is divided into several groups:channels: educational institutions, corporate office space, hospitality facilities, retail space and health care facilities. In addition, the Company produces and sells carpet for the export market, the federal government and other niche businesses. Different purchase decision makers and decision-making processes exist for each group.channel.

      The sales distribution channels for theCompany's "Aladdin" commercial products have been divided into five groups based upon traditional marketing paths: main street, dealer negotiated, performance specified, fashion specified and hospitality and lodging. 6 The main street channel traditionally offers lower price point carpetsbrand is sold primarily through retail dealers underto customers in the "Aladdin" brandretail space, corporate office and is distributed through the residentialother channels. This sales force. Products sold into this channel are service driven and price sensitive. The dealer-negotiated channel is serviced through thealso commonly referred to as "Main Street." These customers are more price conscious in their purchase decisions. The "Bigelow Commercial" brand. In this channel, large commercial flooring contractors play the most important role in product selection on negotiated project work such as leasedbrand is sold primarily to commercial office and retail space. This channel is relationship driven and service oriented where top performers are rewarded with a higher percentage of a contractor's discretionary business.channels through commercial flooring contractors. The performance specified channel is serviced through the "Mohawk Commercial" brand is marketed to customers in the educational institutional and "Mohawk Modular" brands, where long-term appearance retention and durability are key buyer criteria for more demanding project environments such as auditoriums, airports, schools, institutional buildings and high traffic retail outlets. Woven products are strategically advantaged over tufted products in this market channel due to differentiated performance characteristicshealth care facility channels that are more highly valued in high traffic installations.performance oriented. The "Lees" brand is positioned at the higher price points within each sales channel. The "Dura-Color" stain resistant technology and "Unibond" performance backing system enables the "Lees" brand to provide a differentiated product within each sales channel. Additionally, the Company markets its modular (carpet tile) product lines under the "Lees" brand. The "Karastan Contract" and "Durkan Commercial" brands are sold intopositioned primarily to service the medium to high-end fashion specified channel where distinctive styling and custom product variations are more commonly required for project work. This market channel, almost entirely specified through architects and designers, includes end use installations such as higher end corporate offices, law firms, boutiqueconscious customer in both the retail and high profile institutional projects. Because of the distinctive styling and tailored pattern detail that can be achieved through the weaving process, woven styling is highly valued among the design community. Both the performance and fashion specified sales groups also solicit business from large end user accounts that typically make product selections centrally for their company through internal facilities managers and purchasing agents.corporate office channels. The hospitality and lodging channel markets the "Durkan Hospitality" brand that specializes in complex printed carpets commonly seen in higher end hotels, resort facilities and casinos. This channel is generally specified through a designer but ultimatelycarpet sold through independent purchasing agents that consolidate interior furnishings purchase decisions for hotel property owners. Durkan Hospitality has historically offered a premium print product duethe hospitality channel to an extensive pattern offering distinguished by visually sharperhotels, resorts and cleaner color separation in the final product.casinos.

      The Company believes its ability to make woven carpet under the Mohawk Commercial"Mohawk Commercial" and Karastan Contract"Karastan Contract" brand names in large volume for commercial applications differentiates it from other manufacturers, most of which produce tufted carpet almost exclusively. Woven carpet, and specifically the Company's woven interlock products, sell at higher prices than tufted carpetprovides unique characteristics that delivers a better value to the customer and generally produce higher profit margins.the Company. The Company believes that it is one of the largest producers of woven carpet in the United States and that it has several carpet weaving machines and processes that no other manufacturer has, thereby allowing it to create carpet to meet specifications that its competitors cannot duplicate.


      The machine-made rug marketMohawk Home Division, markets its product lines under two major brand names, "Mohawk Home" and "Karastan." Mohawk Home's affordable price points strategy for the mainstream retailers and home centers is currently the fastest growing product line of the U.S. carpet and rug industry with an annual growth rate estimated to be approximately 5% in 2000. Much of this growth has occurreddirected at the low-to-medium retail price ranges. The distribution channels for the rug market primarily include department stores, mass merchants, floorcovering stores, catalog stores, home centersmid and furniture stores. The Company's product lines include a broad array of rugs. The Karastan brand name rugs represent the higher retail price ranges with one of the most valued brand names in the industry and are distributed through specialty stores, along with department and furniture stores. These are higher quality woven wool rugs manufactured primarily on Axminster looms. The Company emphasizes the fast growing lower retail price ranges, throughwhile the Mohawk Home Division. The"Karastan" brand is directed at upscale retail and flooring stores.

In addition, these regionalThese distribution centers also enhance the Company's ability to plan and schedule production and to manage inventory requirements. The Company has state-of-the-art showrooms and design centers in Atlanta, Georgia and Dallas, Texas. These showrooms are dedicated primarily to the residential business and provide a place for customers of local builders, remodelers, architects, designers and contractors to view and select ceramic tile for their building projects. The showroom is staffed with design professionals knowledgeable in wall and floor tile applications, as well as current design and decorating trends. Company-Operated Sales Centers.

      The Company's network of over 200 company-operated240 sales service centers located in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico distributes primarily the daltileDaltile brand product, serving customers in all 50 states and portions of Canada and Puerto Rico. In 2001, a majority of the Company's ceramic tile and natural stone sales were made through company-operated sales centers. In addition to sales center staff, this distribution channel is supported by approximately 131 sales associates servicing both commercial and residential markets. The daltile brand also has a group of 44 sales representatives dedicated exclusively to the architectural community. The architectural community exercises significant influence over the specification of products utilized in commercial applications.

      The Company has designed each sales center to serveserves as a "one-stop" source that provides customers with one of the ceramic tile industry's broadest product lines--alines-a complete selection of glazed floor tile, glazed wall tile, glazed and unglazed ceramic mosaic tile, porcelain tile, quarry tile and stone products, as well as allied products. In addition to products manufactured by the Company's ceramic tile business, the sales centers carryCompany carries a selection of products purchased from other manufacturers to provide customers with a broader product line. The sales centers generally range in size from 6,000 to 30,000 square feet, with a typical center occupying approximately 12,000 square feet. The sales centers consist of a showroom dedicated to displaying the product offerings together with office space and a warehouse in which inventory is stocked. Sales center displays and inventories are designed to reflect local consumer preferences. The sales centers generally are located in light industrial areas rather than retail areas and generally occupy moderately priced lease space under 3 to 10 year leases. As of March 1, 2002, the sales center distribution system included 217 Dal-Tile sales centers and five American Olean sales centers, four stone slab operations and two residential showrooms, which provide sales and merchandising support to the sales centers. In the future, the Company may open additional sales centers in areas where factors such as population, construction activity, local economic conditions and usage of tile create an attractive environment for a sales center. From time to time, sales centers are closed in locations where economic and competitive conditions have changed. 8 Independent Distributors.

      The independent distributor channel is serviced throughoffers a dedicated business unit that includes 10 regional sales managers to serveunique product line under the particular requirements of its customers."American Olean" brand. Currently, the American Olean"American Olean" brand is distributed through approximately 200 independent distributor locations and five company-owned sales centers that service a variety of residential and commercial customers. The Company is focused on increasing its presence in the independent distributor channel, particularly in tile products that are most commonly used in flooring applications. Home-Center Retailers.

      The Company believes its Dal-Tile divisionsegment is one of the U.S. ceramic tile industry's largest suppliers to the do-it-yourself and buy-it-yourself markets through home center retailers, such as The Home Depot and Lowe's, serving more than 2,000 home center retail outlets nationwide.Lowe's. The home center retailer channel has provided this segment with new sources of sales over the past five years and is expected to continue presenting important growth opportunities. Brands and Marketing Programs.

      The Company believes that it has two of the leading brand names in the U.S. ceramic tile industry--daltileindustry-"Daltile" and American"American Olean." The roots of the daltile"Daltile" and American Olean"American Olean" brand names date back approximately fifty and seventy-five years, respectively.

The brand isBoth these brands are supported by a fully integrated marketing program, including public relations efforts, displays, merchandising (sample boards, chip chests), literature/catalogs and an Internet website.

Advertising and Promotion

      The Company promotes its productsbrands through national advertising in both television and print media as well as in the form of co-operativecooperative advertising, point-of-sale displays and marketing literature provided to assist in marketing various carpet and ceramic tile styles. The Company also continues to rely on the substantial brand name identificationrecognition of its product lines. The cost of producing display samples, a significant promotional expense, is partially offset by sales of samples and support from raw materials suppliers in the carpet and rug business.


Manufacturing and Operations

Carpet and Rugs Business. The Company's manufacturing operations are vertically integrated and include the extrusion of resin and post-consumer plastics into polypropylene, polyester and nylon fiber, yarn processing, tufting, weaving, dyeing, coating and finishing. Capital expenditures are primarily focused on increasing capacity, improving productivity and reducing costs. Over the past three years, the Company has incurred significant capital expenditures that have helped increase manufacturing efficiency and capacity, and improve overall cost competitiveness.

Ceramic Tile Business. The Company operates nine tile manufacturing facilities with an aggregate annual manufacturing capacity of 527 million square feet. Over the past three years, the CompanyDal-Tile segment has invested significantly in capital expenditures, principally for new plants and state-of-the-art fast-fire equipment to increase manufacturing capacity, improve efficiency and develop new capabilities. OperatingIn addition, the Company has added a porcelain tile manufacturing plant, which will significantly expand its production capacity has expanded from 378 million square feet to 527 million square feet during the same period.in 2004.

      The ceramic tile business commenced operations in Mexico at the Company's Monterrey facility in 1955 and since then has been manufacturingcurrently manufactures products at this facility primarily for U.S. and Mexican consumption. The Monterrey location contains five distinct manufacturing facilities, three of which produceproduces ceramic tile, one of which produces frit (ground glass) and one of which produces refractories. 9

      The Company believes that its manufacturing organization offers competitive advantages due to its ability to manufacture a differentiated product line consisting of one of the industry's broadest product offerings of colors, textures and finishes, as well as the industry's largest offering of trim and angle pieces and its ability to utilize the industry's newest technology. The Company seeks to maximize production at its lowest cost manufacturing facilities, continue ongoing improvements by implementing demonstrated best practices and continue to invest in manufacturing technology to lower its costs and develop new capabilities.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

Carpet and Rugs Business. The principal raw materials the carpet and rug business uses are nylon, staple fibers, nylon filament fibers, rawpolypropylene, polyester and wool, polypropylene filament fibers, polyester staple fibers, polypropylene, nylon and polyester resins and post-consumer plastics,fibers, synthetic backing materials, polyurethane and latex and various dyes and chemicals. The Company obtains all of its major raw materials from independent sources and all of its externally purchased nylon fibers from fourthree major suppliers: E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company,Koch Industries, Inc., Solutia, Inc., BASF Corporation and Honeywell, Inc. Most of the fibers the Company uses in carpet production are treated with stain-resistant chemicals. The carpet and rug business has not experienced significant shortages of raw materials in recent years. The Company believes that the lossthere is an adequate supply of any one supplier to its carpetall grades of resin and rug business would not have a material effect on its businessfiber and that an alternative supply arrangement could be made inall are readily available from a relatively short periodnumber of time. independent sources.

Ceramic Tile Business. In the Company's ceramic tile business, the Company manufactures wall tile primarily from talc, clay and clay; floor tile and glazed mosaic tile primarily from impure nepheline syenite and clay; unglazed ceramic tile primarily from pure nepheline syenite and clay; and unglazed quarry tile from clay. During the fourth quarter of 1999, Dal-Tile sold its talc mining operation, along with the related mineral rights, to Wold Talcsyenite. The Company Inc. In conjunction with the sale, Dal-Tilehas entered into a long-term supply agreement for most of its talc requirements with Wold Talc.one supplier.

      The Company owns long-term clay mining rights in Alabama, Kentucky and Mississippi that satisfy nearly all of its clay requirements for producing unglazed quarry tile. The Company purchases a number of different grades of clay for the manufacture of its non-quarry tile. The Company believes that there is an adequate supply of all grades of clay and that all are readily available from a number of independent sources.

      The Company purchases all ofhas a single source supplier for its impure nepheline syenite requirements. If this supplier were unable to satisfy the Company's requirements, from Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. Thethe Company believes however, that there is an adequatealternative supply of impure nepheline syenite, which canarrangements would be obtained from other sources. Pure nepheline syenite is purchased from Unimin Corporation, which is the only major supplier of this raw material in North America. If there were a supply interruption of pure nepheline syenite, feldspar could be used in the production of mosaic tile. Feldspar can be purchased from a number of sources at comparable cost to pure nepheline syenite.available.

      Glazes are used on a significant percentage of the Company's manufactured tile. Glazes consist of frit (ground glass), zircon, stains and other materials, with frit being the largest ingredient. The Company manufactures approximately 56%57% of its frit requirements.

Competition

Carpet and Rugs Business.    The carpet and rugs industry is highly competitive. Based on industry publications, the top 20 North American carpet and rug manufacturers (including their American and foreign divisions) in 20002002 had worldwide sales in excess of $16.8$13.0 billion, and the top 20 manufacturers in 1990 had sales in excess of $6 billion. In 2000,2002, the top five manufacturers had worldwide sales in excess of $11.8$10.2 billion. With 2001 net sales of approximately $3.5 billion, theThe Company believes it is the second largest producer of carpet and rugs (in terms of sales volume). in the world.


Ceramic Tile Business.    The Company estimates that over 100 tile manufacturers, more than half of which are based outside the United States, compete for sales of ceramic tile to customers located in the United States. Although the U.S. ceramic tile industry is highly fragmented at both the manufacturing and distribution levels, the Company believes it is the largest manufacturer, distributor and marketer of ceramic tile in the United States and one of the largest in the world. 10

      The principal methods of competition within the carpet and rugs and ceramic tile industries are price, style, quality and service. In each of the Company's markets, price competition and market coverage are particularly important because there is relatively little perceivedlimited differentiation among competing product lines. The Company's recent investments in modernized, advanced manufacturing and data processing equipment, the extensive diversity of equipment in which the Company has invested, and its marketing strategy and its distribution system contribute to its ability to compete primarily on the basis of performance, quality, style and service, rather than just price.

      In each of the Company's carpet and rug and ceramic tile businesses, the Company faces competition from a large number of domestic and foreign manufacturers and independent distributors of floorcovering products. Some of the Company's existing and potential competitors may be larger and have greater resources and access to capital than the Company does. Maintaining the Company's competitive position may require it to make substantial investments in its product development efforts, manufacturing facilities, distribution network and sales and marketing activities. Competitive pressures may also result in decreased demand for the Company's products and in the loss of market share. In addition, the Company faces, and will continue to face, pressure on sales prices of its products from competitors, as well as from large customers. As a result of any of these factors, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's sales and profitability.

Trademarks

      The Company uses several trademarks that it considers important in the marketing of its products, including "Aladdin," "American Olean(R)," "Alexander Smith(R)," "Bigelow(R)Olean®," "Bigelow, Commercial," "Custom Weave" "daltile(R)"Dal-Tile®," "Dal-Monte,"Durkan," "Durkan Commercial," "Durkan Patterned Carpets,"Galaxy," "Goodwin Weavers," "Helios(R)"Helios®," "Home Source," "Horizon(R)," "Karastan(R)"Horizon®," "Karastan Contract,®," "Mohawk(R)"Lees®," "Mohawk ColorCenter(R)®," "Mohawk Commercial," "Mohawk Floorscape," "Mohawk Home," "Tommy Mohawk(R),"Portico," "Townhouse(R)," "World(R)"World®" and "WundaWeve(R)"WundaWeve®."

Sales Terms and Major Customers

      The Company's sales terms are the same as those generally available throughout the industry. The Company generally permits its customers to return broadloom carpet and ceramic tile purchased from it within 30 days from the date of sale, if the customer is not satisfied with the quality of the product. This return policy is consistent with the Company's emphasis on quality, style and performance and promotes customer satisfaction without generating enough returns to affect materially its operating results or financial position.

      During 2001,2003, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of Mohawk's total net sales. The Company believes the loss of one or a few major customers would not have a material adverse effect on its business.

Employees

      As of March 1, 2002, after the merger with Dal-Tile,2, 2004, the Company employed approximately 31,35033,300 persons, of which approximately 700635 of its employees in the United States and approximately 3,0003,100 of its employees in Mexico are members of unions. Other than with respect to these employees, the Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. Additionally, the Company has not experienced any strikes or work stoppages for over 20 years. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good. 11

The Company also believes its principal plants are generally adequate to meet its production plans pursuant to its long-term sales goals. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company monitors the condition of its facilities to ensure that they remain adequate to meet long-term sales goals and production plans.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

      The Company is involved in routine litigation from time to time in the regular course of its business. Except as noted below, there are no material legal proceedings pending or known to be contemplated to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject. The Company is a party to two consolidated lawsuits captioned Gaehwiler v. Sunrise Carpet Industries, Inc. et al. and Patco Enterprises, Inc. v. Sunrise Carpet Industries, Inc. et al., both of which were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, City and County of San Francisco, in 1996. Both complaints were brought on behalf of a purported class of indirect purchasers of polypropylene carpet in the State of California and seek damages for alleged violations of California antitrust and unfair competition laws. In February 1999, a similar complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, City and County of San Francisco, on behalf of a purported class based on indirect purchasers of nylon carpet in the State of California and alleges violations of California antitrust and unfair competition laws. The complaints described above do not specify any specific amount of damages but do request injunctive relief and treble damages plus reimbursement for fees and costs. The Company has reached an agreement to settle the lawsuits and is in the process of finalizing documentation to be presented to the court for approval. The settlement amount has been recorded in accrued expenses. 13

Environmental Matters

      The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, storage, treatment and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, and the cleanup of contamination associated therewith. Because of the nature of the Company's business, the Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, costs relating to compliance with such laws and regulations. The Company is involved in various proceedings relating to environmental matters and is currently engaged in environmental investigation, remediation and post-closure care programs at certain sites. The Company has provided reserves for such activities that it has determined to be both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not expect that the ultimate liability with respect to such activities will have a material adverse effect on it. Two

      Three sites near Mohawk's Dallas facility in its Dal-Tile divisionsegment are involved in Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") Part B post-closure careenvironmental cleanup projects proceeding under the oversight of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission ("TNRCC"). In 1991, Dal-Tile and the predecessor to the TNRCC agreed to an administrative order (the "1991 Order") relating principally to the disposal or alleged disposal by Dal-Tile of waste materials containing lead compounds in a gravel pit ("Elam") near the City of Mesquite's landfill in Dallas County and at a Dal-Tile-operated landfill located on Pleasant Run Road ("Pleasant Run") in Dallas County.compounds. Dal-Tile's approved closure plans for Elamhave been implemented and Pleasant Run were approved by the TNRCC, and remediation and other activities associated with the closures implemented. The TNRCC issued post-closure care permits for Elam and Pleasant Run in 2000. The Company expects to incur future costs in connection with post-closure at Elam and Pleasant Run. The Company believes that any such amounts will not have a material adverse effect on it. In October 1994, Dal-Tile, Master-Halco, Inc. ("Master-Halco") (a manufacturing company not affiliated with Dal-Tile), certain third party individuals and the TNRCC agreed to an administrative order (the "1994 Order") relating to, among other things, investigation and remediation in connection with the alleged disposal of waste materials containing lead compounds at a gravel pit on Kleburg Road ("Walton") in Dallas. Pursuant to the 1994 Order, among other things, an administrative penalty of $213,200 was deferred pending timely and satisfactory completion of the requirements in the 1994 Order. Dal-Tile has completed certain required remediation and closure activities and in 2000 submitted a Closure Certification Report to the TNRCC for approval. Approval of the Closure Certification Report was received in June 2001. The TNRCC has informed the Company that a formal Post Closure Care Permit is not required. The Companyeach site is now performing Post Closure activities of the Walton site and expects to incur future costs in connection with this activity. The Company believes that any such amounts will not have a material adverse effect on it. Dal-Tile has reported that the Texas environmental proceedings described above followed a related criminal investigation which led to the indictments and, in 1993, the convictions of a former owner and a former officer of Dal-Tile on federal charges of violating environmental laws, and that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas, which obtained the indictments, informed Dal-Tile on April 22, 1992 that, based on information in their possession, it had decided not to prosecute Dal-Tile for violations of environmental criminal statutes.undergoing post-closure care.  Dal-Tile has been named as a potentially responsible party under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and similar state statutes with respect tofor the disposal of certain hazardous substances at various other sites in the United States including, without limitation, the Salford Quarry Superfund Site and the North Penn 6 Superfund Site. Based on currently available information, theStates.  The Company believesdoes not believe that the ultimate allocation ofany future costs associated with the investigation and remediation offor these pending sites will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on it. Numerous aspects of the Company's manufacturing operations require expenditures for environmental compliance. For example, the manufacture of carpet and tile require expenditures for compliance with laws and regulations governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, and the generation of solid and hazardous waste. Many of these manufacturing processes also require expenditures in order to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") regulations with respect to potential employee exposure including operations that result in the accumulation of dust that contains silica. Expenditures required for compliance activities associated with environmental and OSHA compliance have not had, and are not expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Company. 14 In addition, in light of the lengthy manufacturing history of the Company's facilities, it is possible that additional environmental issues and related matters may arise relating to past activities which the Company cannot now reliably predict, including tort liability and liability under environmental laws. For example, a number of the Company's facilities in the Dal-Tile division located in the United States used lead compounds in glaze materials. The Company's Mexican facilities continue to use lead compounds in their glaze materials on certain specially ordered tiles. Significant exposure to lead compounds may have adverse health effects. Although it is impossible to quantify the Company's liability, if any, in respect of these matters, including liability to individuals exposed to lead compounds, no claims relating to use of lead compounds or waste disposal matters are pending against it except as set forth above. In addition, the Company cannot now reliably predict the effect which future environmental regulation in the United States, Mexico and Canada could have on it. As a result of a voluntary audit, the air operating permits for three of Mohawk's facilities in its Dal-Tile division located in Texas are in the process of being modified and voluntary Compliance Agreements with the TNRCC have been entered into. In conjunction with this activity, it was determined that air pollution control equipment will be required for certain emission sources at the Dallas and El Paso facilities. Further, in November 2001 the TNRCC issued a Notice of Violation ("NOV") to the El Paso facility alleging failure to install air pollution control equipment during a recent expansion. The NOV will be addressed as part of the permit modification process for the El Paso facility. The Company believes the expenditures associated with obtaining the permit modifications in Texas, including installation of the air pollution control equipment, will not have a material adverse effect on it.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General During

Overview

      The Company is the three-year period ended December 31, 2001,leading producer of floorcovering products for residential and commercial applications in the United States. The Company continued to experience growth both internallyis the second largest carpet and through acquisitions. On January 29, 1999, the Company acquired certain assets of Image for approximately $192 million, including acquisition costsrug manufacturer, and the assumption of $30 million of tax-exempt debt,a leading manufacturer, marketer and on March 9, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Durkan for approximately 3.1 million shares of the Company's common stock valued at $116.5 million based on the closing stock price the day the letter of intent was executed. The Image acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and the Durkan acquisition was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. On November 14, 2000, the Company acquired certain assets of Crown Crafts. Under the agreement, the Company paid approximately $37 million in cash for substantially all of the fixed assets and inventory of the division. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. On March 20, 2002, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Dal-Tile International Inc. ("Dal-Tile") for a purchase price of approximately $1,545 million, consisting of approximately 12.9 million shares of the Company's common stock, options to purchase approximately 2.1 million shares of the Company's common stock and $720 million in cash. The Company's common stock and options were valued at $825 million based on the measurement date stock price. The transaction will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting These acquisitions have created opportunities to enhance the Company's operations by (i) broadening price points, (ii) increasing vertical integration efforts, (iii) expanding distribution capabilities and (iv) facilitating entry into niche businesses, such as rugs, decorative throws, bedspreads, coverlets and ceramic tile. Effective November 1, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with Congoleum Corporation, Inc., to become a national distributor of their vinyl products. This agreement gave the Company access to a complete line of softceramic tile and hard floorcovering products to supply to customers throughoutnatural stone, in the United States. Annual floorcovering sales within the United States in 2002 were approximately $20.3 billion. The Company had annual net sales in 2003 in excess of $5.0 billion.

      The primary categories of the floorcovering industry include carpet and rugs (63%(65%), ceramic tile (11%(12%), vinyl and rubber (14%(10%), hardwood (8%(9%) and laminate (4%).  Compound average growth rates in units sold (measured in square yards) for each of theseall categories, except the vinyl and rubber category, for the period from 1992 through 20002002 have met or exceeded Gross Domestic Productthe growth rate for both the gross domestic product of the United States and housing starts over the same period.  During this period, the compound average growth rate was 4.4%3.6% for carpet and rugs, 10.6%10.3% for ceramic tile, 5.0%1.3% for vinyl and rubber and 9.1%8.0% for hardwood.  Laminate, which is a relatively new product, experienced a compound average growth rate of 39.9%41.5% from 1996 through 2000.2002.  Although beginning from a smaller base, the growth rates for hard floorcoverings may indicate increasing consumer preference for these products for certain applications.  In response to this increasing demand, the Company has increased its distribution of hard surface products, including ceramic tile, vinyl, hardwood and laminate. The acquisition of Dal-Tile providesprovided a unique opportunity to help the Company achieve its strategic goal of becoming one of the world's leading floorcovering manufacturers and distributors.

      The Company considerscontinues to experience growth both internally and through acquisitions.

      On March 20, 2002, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Dal-Tile, a leading manufacturer and distributor of ceramic tile in the United States, for approximately $1,469 million in stock and cash. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of Dal-Tile have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from March 20, 2002. The primary reason for the acquisition was to expand the Company's presence in the ceramic tile and stone markets.

      On November 10, 2003, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the commercial carpet division of Burlington Industries, Inc., known as Lees Carpet, from W.L. Ross & Company for approximately $350 million in cash. The results of operations for Lees Carpet have been included with the Mohawk segment results and in the Company's consolidated financial statements since that date. The primary reason for the acquisition was to expand the Company's presence in the commercial carpet market.

      The Company has two operating segments, the Mohawk segment and the Dal-Tile segment. The Mohawk segment sells and distributes its most critical accounting policies toproduct lines, which include its accounts receivablebroadloom carpet, rugs, pad, ceramic tile, hardwood, vinyl and revenue recognition, inventorieslaminate through independent floor covering retailers, home centers, mass merchandisers, department stores, commercial dealers and income tax policies because they are most important to thecommercial end users. The Dal-Tile segment product lines include ceramic tile, porcelain tile and stone products sold through company-operated sales service centers, independent distributors and home centers.

Critical Accounting Policies

      The Company's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on its consolidated financial statements that were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

      The Company makes estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect various matters, including:

  • reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at the dates of the financial statements,
  • disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and

  • reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the reporting periods. These estimates involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic factors that are difficult to predict and are beyond management's control. As a result, actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

      The SEC issued disclosure guidance for accounting policies that management believes are most "critical." The SEC defines these critical accounting policies as those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and results and require management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments.judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

      The Company believes the following accounting policies require it to use judgments and estimates in preparing its consolidated financial statements and could represent critical accounting policies as defined by the SEC. The Company discusses its significant accounting policies, including those that do not require management to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments or estimates, in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

  • Accounts receivable and revenue recognition. Revenues are recognized when goods are shipped which is when theand legal title passes to the customer. The Company provides allowances for expected cash discounts, returns, claims and doubtful accounts based upon historical bad debt and claims experience and periodic evaluation of specific customer accounts and the aging of accounts receivable. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
  • Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value). Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method (LIFO) predominantly within the Mohawk segment, which matches current costs with current revenues, for substantially all inventories and the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method for(FIFO), which is used to value inventory within the remaining inventories. Income taxesDal-Tile segment. Inventories on hand are accounted for undercompared against anticipated future usage, which is a function of historical usage and anticipated future selling price, in order to evaluate obsolescence, excessive quantities, and expected sales below cost. Actual results could differ from assumptions used to value obsolete, excessive inventory or inventory expected to be sold below cost and additional reserves may be required.
  • Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are subject to annual impairment testing. The impairment tests are based on determining the assetfair value of the specified reporting units and liability method. indefinite life intangible assets based on management judgments and assumptions using estimated future cash flows. These judgments and assumptions could materially change the value of the specified reporting units and indefinite life intangible assets and, therefore, could materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.
  • Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the 19 years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Additionally, taxing jurisdictions could retroactively disagree with the Company's tax treatment of certain items, and some historical transactions have income tax effects going forward. Accounting rules require these future effects to be evaluated using current laws, rules and regulations, each of which can change at any time and in an unpredictable manner.

      During 2003, specifically the first half of 2003, the Company and industry performance as a whole was impacted negatively by the overall weak conditions in the U.S. economy and cautious consumer and commercial spending. The Company believes that the residential replacement business is recovering in response to improved economic conditions. The Company believes that the commercial business is also beginning to show signs of improvement at certain price points and anticipates the higher end business will improve later in 2004. The Company is implementing a price increase in both the Mohawk and Dal-Tile segment during the first quarter of 2004 to compensate for increased raw material prices resulting from higher oil and natural gas prices and higher import prices.

The Dal-Tile results are not included in the Company's consolidated financial statements prior to the March 20, 2002, acquisition. However, when the Dal-Tile net sales for the year ended December 31, 2003, are compared to the Dal-Tile pro forma net sales of $1,134.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 (derived by combining Dal-Tile net sales of $236.0 million prior to the March 20, 2002, acquisition date, after reclassifications to conform to Mohawk's presentation, with reported Dal-Tile net sales of $898.2 million for the period ending December 31, 2002), an increase of approximately 11.8% for the period was realized. The growth was primarily attributable to growth within residential products.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

            In June 2001,January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFASFASB Interpretation No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires51," which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities ("VIEs") either: (1) that do not have sufficient equity investment at risk to permit the purchase methodentity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (2) in which the equity investors lack an essential characteristic of 22 accounting be used for all business combinations initiateda controlling financial interest. In December 2003, the FASB issued modifications to FIN 46 ("Revised Interpretations") resulting in multiple effective dates based on the nature as well as the creation date of the VIE. VIEs created after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized,January 31, 2003, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. The Company was requiredprior to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 141 effective June 30, 2001, and SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Furthermore, any goodwill that was acquired in a purchase business combination completed2004, may be accounted for either based on the original interpretation or the Revised Interpretations. However, the Revised Interpretations must be applied no later than the first quarter of 2004. VIEs created after June 30, 2001 will notJanuary 1, 2004 must be amortized.

Non-Special Purpose Entities created prior to February 1, 2001 is2003, should be accounted for under the revised interpretation's provisions no longer being amortized after December 31, 2001.later than the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company has evaluated its existing goodwill that was acquired in prior purchase business combinations for impairmentadopted FIN 46, which did not have, and has concluded that no adjustment to the Company's consolidated financial statements is required. In April 2001, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 00-25 "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration to a Purchaser of the Vendors Products or Services." This issuance provides guidance primarily on income statement classification of consideration from a vendor to a purchaser of the vendor's products. Generally, cash consideration is to be classified as a reduction of revenue, unless specific criteria are met regarding goods or services that the vendor may receive in return for this consideration. The Company believes that its current accounting policies are in conformity with EITF 00-25, and does not believe that EITF 00-25 willexpect the Revised Interpretations to have, a material effectimpact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 provides new guidance on the recognition and measurement of an asset retirement obligation and its associated asset retirement cost. It also provides accounting guidance for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning in 2003 and is not expected to materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 provides new guidance on the recognition of impairment losses on long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of and also broadens the definition of what constitutes discontinued operations and how the results of discontinued operations are to be measured and presented. SFAS No. 144 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning in 2002 and is not expected to materially change the methods used by the Company to measure impairment losses on long-lived assets, but may result in more matters being reported as discontinued operations than was permitted under the previous accounting principles.

Impact of Inflation

      Inflation affects the Company's manufacturing costs and operating expenses. The carpet and tile industry has experienced inflation in the prices of raw materials and fuel-related costs. In the past, the Company has generally passed along these price increases to its customers and has been able to enhance productivity to offset increases in costs resulting from inflation in both the United States and Mexico.

The Company may be unable to pass on to its customers increases in the costs of - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- raw materials and energy, which could have a material adverse effect on its - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- profitability. - ------------- Significant increases in the costs

      The prices of raw materials and natural gas used in the manufacture of the Company's products could have a material adverse effect on its operating margins and its business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company purchases nylon fiber, polypropylene resin, talc, clay, impure nepheline syenite, pure nepheline syenite, frit, zircon, stains and other materials from third party suppliers. The cost of some of these materials, like nylon and polypropylene resin, is related to oil prices. The Company also purchases significant amounts of natural gas to supply the energy required in some of its production processes. The prices of these raw materials and of natural gas vary with market conditions. Although the Company generally attempts to pass on increases in the costs of raw materials and natural gas to its customers, the Company's ability to do so is, to a large extent, dependent upon the rate and magnitude of any increase, competitive pressures and market conditions for its products.  There have been in the past, and may be in the future, periods of time during which increases in these costs cannot be recovered.  During such periods of time, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's profitability. 25

      The Company's operations are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, and the use, storage, treatment and disposal of hazardous materials.  The applicable requirements under these laws are subject to amendment, to the imposition of new or additional requirements and to changing interpretations of agencies or courts.

Changes in environmental, health, and safetyinternational trade laws and regulations, enforcement of existing or new requirements or other unanticipated events could give rise to expendituresin the business, political and liabilities, including fines or penalties, thatregulatory environment in Mexico could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results or financial condition. The Company relies on its Monterrey, Mexico plant for a significant portion of - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ its ceramic tile manufacturing capacity and any disruption in the plant's - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- operations could negatively affect the Company's business. - ---------------------------------------------------------

      The Company's Monterrey, Mexico manufacturing facility represents a significant portion of the Company's total manufacturing capacity for ceramic tile. This facility contains five distinct manufacturing plants, three of which produce ceramic tile, one of which produces frit used in the production of manufactured tile and one of which produces refractories. Any disruption in the operations of this facility could result in a material adverse effect on the Company's ceramic tile business and the Company's operations as a whole. Changes in international trade laws and in the business, political and - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- regulatory environment in Mexico could have a material adverse effect on the - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Company's business. - ------------------ The Company's operations in Mexico include its Monterrey facility. Accordingly, an event that has a material adverse impact on the Company's Mexican operations could have a material adverse effect on itsthe tile operations as a whole. The business, regulatory and political environments in Mexico differ from those in the United States, and the Company's Mexican operations are exposed to a number of inherentlegal, currency, tax, political, and economic risks, including: . changes in international trade laws, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, affecting the Company's import and export activities in Mexico; . changes in Mexican labor laws and regulations affecting the Company's abilityspecific to hire and retain employees in Mexico; . currency exchange restrictions and fluctuations in the value of foreign currency; . potentially adverse tax consequences; . local laws concerning repatriation of profits; . political conditions in Mexico; . unexpected changes in the regulatory environment in Mexico; and . changes in general economic conditions in Mexico. Future exchange rate fluctuations or inflation could have a material adverse - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- effect on the Company's results of operations. - --------------------------------------------- The Company's Mexican facility, which is considered an extension of its U.S. operations, primarily provides ceramic tile to the Company's U.S. distribution network, and to a more limited extent, sells ceramic tile in Mexico. The facility has more peso-denominated expenses than revenues. This means that the Company realizes a benefit when the peso devalues against the U.S. dollar, although this benefit may be offset by Mexican 26 inflation. Any future increases in the Mexican inflation rate, which are not offset by devaluation of the peso, may negatively impact the Company's results of operations. The Mexican peso has been and may in the future be, subject to significant fluctuations. To the extent that the peso appreciates against the U.S. dollar, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company could face increased competition as a result of the General - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ("GATT") and the North American Free Trade Agreement. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Agreement ("NAFTA").

      The United StatesCompany is party to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ("GATT"). Under GATT, the United States currently imposesuncertain what effect reduced import duties on ceramic tile imported from countries outside North America at no more than 13%, to be reduced ratably to no less than 8.5% by 2004. Accordingly, as these duties decrease,under GATT may have on its operations, although these reduced rates may stimulate additional competition from manufacturers in these countries, which now export, or may seek tothat export ceramic tile to the United States. The Company is uncertain what effect GATT may have on its operations. The North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") was entered into by Canada, Mexico and the United States and over a transition period will remove most customs duties imposed on goods traded among the three countries. In addition, NAFTA will remove or limit many investment restrictions, liberalize trade in services, provide a specialized means for settlement of, and remedies for, trade disputes arising under its laws and will result in new laws and regulations to further these goals.

      Although NAFTA lowers the tariffs imposed on the Company's ceramic tile manufactured in Mexico and sold in the United States and will eliminate such tariffs entirely on January 1, 2008, it may also stimulate competition in the United States and Canada from manufacturers located in Mexico, which could negatively affect the Company's business.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk To

      Financial exposures are managed as an integral part of the Company's risk management program, which seeks to reduce the riskpotentially adverse effect that the volatility of the interest rate, fluctuations,exchange rate and natural gas markets may have on its operating results. The Company does not regularly engage in speculative transactions, nor does it regularly hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.


Natural Gas Risk Management

      The Company uses a combination of natural gas futures contracts and long-term supply agreements to manage unanticipated changes in natural gas prices. The contracts are based on forecasted usage of natural gas measured in Million British Thermal Units ("MMBTU").

      The Company has designated the Company engagesnatural gas futures contracts as cash flow hedges. The outstanding contracts are valued at market with the offset going to other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes and any hedge ineffectiveness. Any gain or loss is recognized in cost of goods sold in the use of interest rate swap agreements.same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  At December 31, 2001,2003, the Company held one interest rate swap agreement under which the Company pays a fixed percent of interest times thehad natural gas contracts that mature from January 2004 to December 2004 with an aggregate notional principal amount of $100approximately 3.9 million and receives in return an amount equal to a specified variable rate of interest times the same notional principal amount.MMBTU's. The 27 fixed interest rate per the agreement is 5.82%, which expires January 2, 2006. The average rate as of December 31, 2001 was 4.0%. This agreement is considered highly effective as of December 31, 2001. The cumulative fair value of the agreement asthese contracts was an asset of $3.6 million. At December 31, 20012002, the Company had natural gas contracts outstanding with a notional amount of approximately 1.4 million MMBTU's. The fair value of these contracts was a liabilityan asset of $2.8 million,$1.9 million. The offset to these assets is recorded in other comprehensive income, net of taxes,applicable income taxes.

      The Company's natural gas long-term supply agreements are accounted for under the normal purchases provision within SFAS No. 133 and its amendments. At December 31, 2003, the Company has normal purchase commitments of approximately 3.1 million MMBTU's for periods maturing from January 2004 through September 2005. The contracted value of these commitments was approximately $13.8 million and the fair value of these commitments was approximately $17.0 million, at December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2002, the Company had normal purchase commitments of approximately 4.6 million MMBTU's. The contracted value of these commitments was approximately $17.4 million and the fair value of these commitments was approximately $19.7 million.

Foreign Currency Rate Management

      The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge costs associated with its operations in Mexico. The objective of these transactions is to reduce volatility of exchange rates where these operations are located by fixing a portion of their costs in U.S. currency. Gains and losses are recognized in cost of goods sold in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Accordingly, these contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. The Company had forward contracts to purchase approximately 145.3 million and 357.5 million Mexican pesos at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The aggregate U.S. Dollar value of these contracts at December 31, 2003 and 2002 was recordedapproximately $12.7 million and $34,581, respectively. The contracts are marked to market in long-termother current liabilities with the offset to other comprehensive loss,income, net of applicable income taxes. 28 Unrealized losses at December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively, were not significant.

Interest Rate Management

      In 2002, the Company determined that its $100 million interest rate swap was ineffective. Consequently, the $10.7 million unrealized loss associated with the swap was recorded as a realized loss in interest expense during the fourth quarter of 2002. The Company continues to carry the liability on its consolidated balance sheets and the interest rate swap is marked to market at the end of each reporting period. The change in fair value for the year ended December 31, 2003 was not significant.

MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC.  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2001, 20002003,  2002 and 1999 (In2001

(In thousands, except per share data)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mohawk Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Mohawk").  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On March 9, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Durkan Patterned Carpets, Inc. ("Durkan") for 3,150 shares of the Company's common stock ("Durkan Merger"). The historical consolidated financial statements have been restated to give retroactive effect to the Durkan Merger. The Durkan Merger was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(b) Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition

      The Company is principally a broadloom carpet, rug and rugceramic tile manufacturer and sells carpet, rugs, ceramic tile and other floorcovering materials throughout the United States principally for residential and commercial use.  The Company grants credit to customers, most of whom are retail carpetretail-flooring dealers and commercial end users, under credit terms that are customary in the industry.

      Revenues are recognized when goods are shipped, which is when the legal title passes to the customer. The Company provides allowances for expected cash discounts, returns, claims and doubtful accounts based upon historical bad debt and claims experience and periodic evaluations of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable.

(c) Inventories

      Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value).  Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, which matches current costs with current revenues, for substantially all inventories within the Mohawk segment and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for the remainingDal-Tile segment inventories.

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment

      Property, plant and equipment isare stated at cost, including interest on funds borrowed to finance the acquisition or construction of major capital additions.capitalized interest.  Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives, which are 35 years for buildings and improvements, 15 years for extrusion equipment, 10 years for tufting equipment, the shorter of the estimated useful life or life of the lease for leasehold improvements, five years for vehicles and seven years for other equipment and furniture and fixtures.

(e) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

      In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" the Company tests goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment on an annual basis (or on an interim basis if an event occurs that might reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value). The Company conducts testing for impairment during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. Intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives are amortized based on weighted average lives.


MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC.  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(f) Income Taxes

      Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary 35 MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. (f)

(g) Financial Instruments

      The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of accounts receivable,receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and long-term debt.  The carrying amount of accounts receivable,receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of such instruments.  Interest rates that are currently available to the Company for issuance of long-term debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of the Company's long-term debt.  The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt at December 31, 20012003 and 20002002 was $311,617$1,095,590 and $590,786,$894,462, compared to a carrying amount of $308,433$1,012,413 and $589,828,$820,427, respectively. (g)

(h) Derivative Instruments

      Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting StandardsSFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,"Activities" ("SFAS No.133"No. 133") and its amendments which require the Company to recognize all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income.earnings. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in its fair value are either offset against the change in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The Company engages in activities that expose it to market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates.rates, exchange rates and changes in natural gas prices. Financial exposures are managed as an integral part of the Company's risk management program, which seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effect that the volatility of the interest rate, marketexchange rate and natural gas markets may have on operating results. The Company does not regularly engage in speculative transactions, nor does it regularly hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption of SFAS No.133. The Company maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that uses interest rate swaps to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by volatility in interest rates.No. 133.

      The Company formally documents all hedging instruments and hedging items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedged items. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value and cash flow hedges to specific assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet or to forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective, the derivative expires, or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or the derivative is discontinued because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting for that specific hedge instrument. (h) Fiscal Year The Company ends its fiscal year on December 31. Each

(i) Shipping and Handling

      Costs related to shipping and handling are included in cost of the first three quarters in the fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest the calendar quarter end. (i) Goodwill Goodwill arises in connection with business combinations accountedsales for as purchases. Goodwill is amortized primarily on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Amortization charged to earnings was $3,209 in 2001, $3,184 in 2000 and $2,808 in 1999. Accumulated amortization was $19,564 and $16,355 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Goodwill increased in 2000 by $2,000 as a result of an earnout payment made to the former owners of Newmark & James, a company acquired in 1998, after certain earnings thresholds were reached by Newmark & James. 36 all periods presented.


MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC.  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (j)

(j) Advertising Costs and Vendor Consideration

      Advertising and promotion expenses are charged to earnings during the period in which they are incurred.  Advertising and promotion expenses included in selling, administrative and general expenses were $26,990 in 2003, $31,829 in 2002 and $28,845 in 2001.

      In 2001, $25,526the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 01-09 "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer" ("EITF 01-09"). This issuance provides guidance primarily on income statement classification of consideration from a vendor to a purchaser of the vendor's products. Generally, cash consideration is to be classified as a reduction of net sales, unless specific criteria are met regarding goods or services that the vendor may receive in 2000return for this consideration. The Company makes various payments to customers, including slotting fees, advertising allowances, buy-downs and $25,152co-op advertising. All of these payments reduce gross sales with the exception of co-op advertising. Co-op advertising is classified as a selling, general and administrative expense. Co-op advertising expenses, a component of advertising and promotion expenses, were $9,355 in 1999. 2003, $14,090 in 2002 and $11,803 in 2001.

(k) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

      In 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance withadoption of SFAS No. 144 did not affect the provisions of FASCompany's financial statements. SFAS No. 144 replaced SFAS No. 121, Accounting"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-LivedLong Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. Under FASbe disposed of." SFAS No. 121,144 establishes a single accounting model for the Company evaluates impairment or disposal of long-lived assets on a business unit basis, rather than on an aggregate entity basis, whenever events orincluding discontinued operations.  In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets and intangibles subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assetsthe asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows of the asset, an impairment losscharge is recognized. Measurementrecognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows. Assets to be disposed of an impairment loss for long-lived assets is based onare reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs of disposal and are no longer depreciated.

(l) Foreign Currency Translation

      The Company's subsidiaries that operate outside the United States use their local currency as the functional currency, with the exception of operations carried out in Mexico, in which case the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Other than Mexico, the functional currency is translated into U.S. dollars for balance sheet accounts using the month end rates in effect as of the asset. (l)balance sheet date and average exchange rate for revenue and expense accounts for each respective period. The translation adjustments are deferred as a separate component of shareholders' equity, within other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income or expense, within the consolidated statements of earnings. The assets and liabilities of the Company's Mexico operations are re-measured using a month end rate, except for non-monetary assets and liabilities, which are re-measured using the historical exchange rate. Income and expense accounts are re-measured using an average monthly rate for the period, except for expenses related to those balance sheet accounts that are re-measured using historical exchange rates. The resulting re-measurement adjustment is reported in the consolidated statements of operations when incurred.

(m) Earnings per Share ("EPS")

      The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") FASSFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires companies to present basic EPS and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

(n) Stock Based Compensation

      Effective January 1, 2003, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 00-25 "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration to a Purchaser ofCompany adopted the Vendors Products or Services." This issuance provides guidance primarily on income statement classification of consideration from a vendor to a purchaser of the vendor's products. Generally, cash consideration is to be classified as a reduction of net sales, unless specific criteria are met regarding goods or services that the vendor may receive in return for this consideration. The Company believes that its current accounting policies are in conformity with EITF 00-25, and does not believe that EITF 00-25 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. The Company makes various payments to customers, including slotting fees, advertising allowances, buydowns and co-op advertising. All of these payments reduce gross sales with the exception of co-op advertising. Co-op advertising is classified as a selling, general and administrative expense. Co-op advertising expenses were $11,803 in 2001, $11,570 in 2000 and $9,603 in 1999. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with thedisclosure provisions of SFAS No. 142. The Company was required to adopt the provisions of148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." This statement amends SFAS No. 141 effective June 30, 2001,123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation and requires prominent disclosure in both the annual and interim financial statements of the method of accounting used and the financial impact of stock-based compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Furthermore, any goodwill that was acquired in a purchase business combination completed after June 30, 2001 will not be amortized. Goodwill acquired in business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 is no longer being amortized after December 31, 2001. 38 123, the Company accounts for stock options granted as prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," which recognizes compensation cost based upon the intrinsic value of the award.

      If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the fair value at the grant dates for awards under its plans, the Company's net earnings per share would have been reduced as follows:

("Image") for approximately $192,000, including acquisition costs and the assumption of $30,000 of tax-exempt debt. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The estimated fair values were $205,366 for assets acquired and $42,903 for liabilities assumed. On March 9, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Durkan for approximately 3,150 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $116,500 based on the closing price the day the letter of intent was executed.

None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The primary reason for the acquisition was to expand the Company's presence in the ceramic tile and stone markets.

      Mohawk considered whether identifiable intangible assets, such as customer relationships, patents, covenants not to compete, software, production backlog, marketing agreements, unpatented technology and trade secrets, might exist and none were identified other than trademarks, during the purchase price negotiations and during the subsequent purchase price allocation evaluation. Accordingly, the valuation resulted in the recognition of goodwill and trademarks.

      In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"), goodwill recorded in the Dal-Tile acquisition will not be amortized. Additionally, the Company determined that the trademark intangible assets have indefinite useful lives because they are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely.

      In connection with the Dal-Tile acquisition during 2002, the Company entered into a 364 day364-day term loan facility (the "Bridge Facility") to finance a portion of the acquisition. On April 2, 2002, the Company sold $300,000 of its 6.50% senior notes due 2007, Series A and $400,000 of its 7.20% senior notes due 2012, Series B through institutional private placements and used the proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness of approximately $601,000 under the Bridge Facility and approximately $90,000 under the Company's revolving asset financingcredit facility. On June 13, 2002, the Company exchanged $294,965 of its registered 6.50% senior notes due 2007, Series C for an equal amount of its Series A senior notes and $397,800 of its registered 7.20% senior notes due 2012, Series D for an equal amount of its Series B senior notes. Interest on each series is payable semiannually.

      On August 4, 2003, the Company entered into an on-balance sheet trade accounts receivable securitization agreement enabling("Securitization Facility") replacing two previous facilities were due to expire in October 2003. The Securitization Facility allows the Company to sellborrow up to $205,000 of an undivided interest in a defined pool of trade$350,000 based on available accounts receivable. The agreement, which has been recorded as an on-balance sheet financing transaction, may be extended in one-year terms and has been extended to October 24, 2002. The Company believes the securitization program provides low cost of financing and is an additional source of debt capital with diversification from other alternatives. The Company sold an initial ownership interest insells, on a defined pool of tradenon-recourse revolving basis, its accounts receivable limitedto a special purpose entity, which in turn obtains loan advances that are secured by eligible accounts receivable. As collections reduce the receivable pool the Company sells participating interests in new receivables to bring the amount in the pool up to the maximum permitted under the agreement. The receivables are sold atfrom a discount, which approximates the purchasers' financing cost of the program. Receivables secured under the agreement were $461,072 and $381,700 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The net proceeds were used to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Interest rates under the facility vary with thethird-party commercial paper rates for the Blue Ridge Asset Funding Corporation plus an applicable margin.conduit sponsored by financial institutions. The Company uses an interest rate swap contract to adjust the proportion of total debt thatSecuritization Facility is subject to variable interest rates as compared to fixed interest rates. Under an interest rate swap contract, the Company agrees to pay an amount equal to a fixed-rate of interest times a notional principal amount, and to receive in return an amount equal to a specified variable-rate of interest times the same notional principal amount of $100,000. The notional amounts of the contracts are not exchanged, and no other cash payments are made. The contract fair value is reflected on the balance sheet and related gains or losses are deferred in other comprehensive income. These deferred gains and losses are recognized in income as an adjustment to interest expense over the same period in which the related interest payments being hedged are recognized in income. However, to the extent that any of these contracts are not considered to be 100% effective in offsetting the change in the value of the interest payments being hedged, any changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion of these contracts is immediately recognized in income. As ofannual renewal. At December 31, 2001,2003, the Company had an interest rate swap agreementapproximately $182,000 outstanding for a notional amountsecured by approximately $649,018 of $100,000, which will be in effect until January 3, 2006. Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 5.82 %. As of December 31, 2001, the cumulative loss and fair value of the swap agreement was $4,503 or $2,837, net of applicable income taxes.trade receivables.

      The Company uses a combination of natural gas futures contracts and long-term supply agreements to manage unanticipated changes in natural gas prices. The contracts are based on forecasted usage of natural gas measured in Million British Thermal Units ("MMBTU").

      The Company has designated the natural gas futures contracts as cash flow hedges. The outstanding contracts are valued at market with the offset going to other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes and any hedge ineffectiveness. Any gain or loss is recognized in cost of goods sold in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  At December 31, 2003, the Company had natural gas contracts that mature from January 2004 to December 2004 with an aggregate notional amount of approximately 3,950 MMBTU's. The fair value of these contracts was an asset of  $3,565. At December 31, 2002, the Company had natural gas contracts outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of approximately 1,450 MMBTU's. The fair value of these contracts was an asset of $1,911. The offset to these assets is recorded in other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes, respectively.

      The Company's long-term natural gas supply agreements are accounted for under the normal purchases provision within SFAS No. 133 and its amendments. At December 31, 2003, the Company has normal purchase commitments of approximately 3,095 MMBTU's for periods maturing from January 2004 through September 2005.

At December 31, 2002, the Company had normal purchase commitments of approximately 4,560 MMBTU's. The contracted value of these commitments was approximately $17,441 and the fair value of these commitments was approximately $19,694.

Foreign Currency Rate Management

      The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge costs associated with its operations in Mexico. The objective of these transactions is to reduce volatility of exchange rates where these operations are located by fixing a portion of their costs in U.S. currency. Gains and losses are recognized in cost of goods sold in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Accordingly, these contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. The Company had forward contracts to purchase approximately 145,284 and 357,522 Mexican pesos at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The aggregate U.S. Dollar value of these contracts at December 31, 2003 and 2002 was approximately $12,665 and $34,581, respectively. The contracts are marked to market in other current liabilities with the offset to other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes.

Executive Compensation Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Mohawk Industries, Inc. 51 Executive Compensation Philosophy. The Committee believes that a compensation program that enables the Company to attract and retain outstanding executives will assist the Company in meeting its long-range objectives, thereby serving the interest of the Company's stockholders. The compensation program of the Company is designed to achieve the following objectives: 1. Provide compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of companies of a similar size. 2. Create a strong link between the executive's compensation and the Company's annual and long-term financial performance. 3. Include above average elements of financial risk through performance-based incentive compensation which offers an opportunity for above average financial reward to the executives. The Company's executive compensation program has three components: base salaries, annual incentives and long-term incentives. Base Salaries. The Company's executive officers receive base salaries as compensation for the skills, knowledge and experience that they bring to their positions. Base salaries paid to the Company's executive officers are intended to be maintained at a competitive level with companies of a similar size. In order to assess competitive rates, in 2001, the committee used compensation surveys produced by a nationally recognized compensation consulting firm of executives with similar job functions and responsibilities in public companies engaged in nondurable goods manufacturing in the same net sales range. The group of companies included in the surveys used was typically broader than the peer group used in the Performance Graph following this report because the competitive marketplace for executive talent has been viewed by the Committee as national in scope and not restricted to the carpet and textile industries. With respect to base salaries, the Committee has tried to achieve competitive rates by targeting the approximate midpoint of the range of base salaries for comparable positions. Within this overall policy, the Committee has preserved the flexibility to make exceptions where performance over several years dictates a higher base salary. Annual Incentive Bonuses. Annual incentive bonuses under the executive incentive program are provided in addition to base salaries to create total annual compensation. Using the compensation surveys discussed above, the Committee has targeted the upper quartile of total annual compensation for similarly situated executives in companies of similar size. By placing a significant portion of an executive's annual pay "at risk," the Committee believes that compensation is more directly related to performance and will more closely link the financial interests of the executives and those of the stockholders. Given the Company's aggressive business objectives, the Committee believes this policy to be appropriate and fair for both the executives and the stockholders. The 2001 Executive Incentive Program (the "Plan") was designed to provide incentive bonus opportunities for 29 key executives of the Company, including the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. For those executives who were classified as Corporate Participants, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the Chief Financial Officer, to be eligible for any bonus the total corporation must have attained in 2001 a threshold level of earnings per share ("EPS") established by the Committee. For those executives who were classified as Residential Business Participants, Karastan Business Participants, Commercial Business Participants, Home Products Participants or Hospitality Business Participants to be eligible for any bonus their business unit must have attained in 2001 a threshold level of EPS contribution established by the Committee. The factors considered in establishing the thresholds in the Plan were the previous year's EPS for the total corporation and EPS contribution by each business unit. If the threshold is attained, then the bonus calculation is based on the attainment of increasing levels of improvement of (i) 2001 EPS over 2000 EPS and (ii) 2001 Earnings After Capital Charge ("EAC") (after tax operating earnings less a cost of capital charge) over EAC targets established by the Committee using 2000 results as a base. The bonus calculation is weighted 75% to the EPS level attained and 25% to the EAC level attained. The bonus attainable at various levels in the Plan is calculated as a percentage of 2001 compensation payments excluding all bonus, deferred bonus and other non-salary amounts ("Base Compensation")"-Audit Committee". The percentages of Base Compensation for which individual participants become eligible at the various levels vary and were set for the CEO by the Committee and for the other executives by the CEO (subject to the approval of the Committee) in order to relate performance goals to a targeted level of total annual compensation. 52 A portion of each award ranging from 20% to 26% is paid as follows: one-half is paid in shares of the Common Stock purchased in the market and issued to the participant as restricted shares underCompany has adopted the Mohawk Industries, Inc. 1997 Long-Term Incentive PlanStandards of Conduct and one-half is used to pay withholding tax on the award. One-half of the shares granted will be restricted for one year and the other half for two years. The number of restricted shares to be granted is calculated using the average monthly closing stock price of the Common Stock during 2001. The balance of the award is paid in cash to the participant in 2002. The Committee has the authority to interpret the Plan, make changes therein or grant special bonuses for exceptional performance as it determines appropriate. Long-Term Incentives. The Company provides long-term incentives to its executives through stock option programs designed to encourage executives to acquire and hold shares of Common Stock. The stock option plans are designed to retain executives and motivate them to improve the market value of the Common Stock over a number of years. The Committee believes that equity ownership by executives furthers the Committee's compensation policy objective of aligning long-term financial interests of executives with those of the stockholders. The Committee considers the amount and terms of options previously awarded to and held by executive officers in determining the size of option grants. In 2001, options were grantedEthics, which applies to all of its directors, officers and employees. The standards of conduct and ethics are publicly available on our website at http://mohawkind.com. If the executive officers named inCompany makes any substantive amendments to the Summary Compensation Table. These options all vest in 20% annual increments. Other Compensation Plans. The Company maintains several broadly-based employee benefit plans in which the executive officers are permitted to participate on the same terms as other employees. These include the retirement savings plan (designed to qualify under section 401(k)standards of conduct and ethics, or grants any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Internal Revenue Code), a supplemental executive retirement plan which provides certain supplemental retirement and other benefits to a certain executive who has completed an aggregate of 60 months employment with the Company, and a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for highly compensated employees which permits deferral of income on a portion of the employee's compensation. To the extent readily determinable and as one of the factors in its consideration of the various components of executive compensation, the Committee considers the anticipated tax treatment to the Company and to the executives of various payments and benefits. Some types of compensation payments and their deductibility (e.g., the spread on exercise of non-qualified options) depend upon the timing of an executive's vesting or exercise of previously granted rights. Further, interpretations of and changes in the tax laws and other factors beyond the Committee's control also affect the deductibility of compensation. For these and other reasons, the Committee will not necessarily and in all circumstances limit executive compensation tostandards, that deductible under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee will consider various alternatives for preserving the deductibility of compensation payments and benefits to the extent reasonably practicable and to the extent consistent with its other compensation objectives. Chief Executive Officer Compensation. In accordance with the compensation philosophy and process described above, the Committee set Mr. Lorberbaum's base salary for 2001 at $575,000, which was below the midpoint for CEO's of similar sized companies in the surveys used by the Committee. Mr. Lorberbaum's total annual cash compensation is linkedapplies to the Company's performance by his participation inchief executive officer, chief financial officer or chief accounting officer, the 2001 Executive Incentive Program. UnderCompany will disclose the Plan, he would earn no bonus unless 2001 EPS exceeded the threshold level established in the Plan. In 2001, Mr. Lorberbaum earned a bonus equal to approximately 100% of his Base Compensation based upon an improvement in EPS for the total corporation of 18 percent over 2000 EPS and an improvement in EAC for the total corporation of 16 percent over 2000 EAC. This bonus will be paid in cash and restricted shares as described above. In 2001, Mr. Lorberbaum was awarded stock options to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at fair market value on the datesnature of the grants. These options vestamendment or waiver on its website. The Company may elect to also disclose the amendment or waiver in 20% annual increments.a report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

The Company has established a Retirement Savings Plan (the "Retirement Savings Plan"), which is a combination 401(k)/profit-sharing plan that provides for employee pre-tax contributions under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, Company matching contributions, and, if profits are sufficient, a Company profit sharing contribution. The Company has also established the SERP, a non-qualified plan designed to supplement the benefits payable under the Retirement Savings Plan and certain other plans. The SERP provides such benefits to Mr. Swift. Benefits under the SERP generally vest after the participant has sixty months of employment with the Company and generally can begin once the participant attains age 60. The retirement benefit payable at age 65 to Mr. Swift (and prior to reduction as described below) is 40% of Mr. Swift's average annual compensation (as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence). Benefits under the SERP are reduced if the participant begins to receive SERP benefits prior to age 65. 57 Benefits payable under the SERP as shown in the foregoing table are reduced by (i) one-half of the participant's Social Security benefits; (ii) certain other Company benefit plans; and (iii) the annuity benefit to the participant from a subsequent employer's pension plan. Upon retirement, the normal form of SERP benefit is a life annuity for the life of the participant, but the Board and the participant may approve payment in an alternate form. There are also certain death benefits and medical benefits that are payable under the SERP. Mr. Swift had an average five-year compensation of $458,728 and 17 years of creditable service. Messrs. Lorberbaum, Thornton, Polley and Kilbride do not participate in the SERP. MeetingsDirectors-Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors General.

The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. The Compensation Committee consists of Mr. Benatar, Mr. Pokelwaldt and Mr. McCurdy.

Employees of the Company or its subsidiaries who are also directors do not receive any fee or remuneration for services as members of the Board of Directors or any Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company pays non-employee directors an annual retainer of $20,000 and a fee of $2,000 for each Board meeting and $1,000 for each Committee meeting attended. In lieu of this retainer and fees, Mr. Kolb receives an annual retainer of $30,000 for his services as Chairman of the Board of Directors and a fee of $3,000 for each Board meeting and $2,000 for each Committee meeting attended. Committee Chairmen also receive an annual retainer of $2,500. Pursuant to the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan and the 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan, directors who are not employees of the Company are initially granted a non-qualified stock option to purchase 11,250 shares of Common Stock as of the date they commence service as a director. On January 1 of each year, eligible directors who are directors on such date receive an option to purchase 2,250 shares of Common Stock. The exercise prices for all such option grants are based on a formula that with respect to initial grants relates to the closing sale price of the underlying Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant and with respect to subsequent grants is the average of the closing sale prices of the underlying Common Stock on the last business day of each of the Company's four fiscal quarters during the preceding fiscal year. The Company reimburses all directors for expenses the directors incur in connection with attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or Committees. In December 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the Mohawk Industries, Inc. 1997 Non-Employee Director Stock Compensation Plan (the "Director Stock Compensation Plan") to promote the long-term growth of the Company by providing a vehicle for its non-employee directors to increase their proprietary interest in the Company and to attract and retain highly qualified and capable non-employee directors. Under the Director Stock Compensation Plan, non-employee directors may elect to receive their annual cash retainer fees (excluding any meeting fees) in shares of Common Stock of the Company, based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the quarterly payment date. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be granted under the plan is 37,500 shares, which shares may not be original issue shares. In 1997, the Director Stock Compensation 58 Plan was amended by the Board of Directors to include an optional income deferral feature using a book entry (phantom stock) account that would fluctuate in value based on the performance of the Common Stock of the Company over the deferral period. The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate the Director Stock Compensation Plan at any time.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Financial Information Of Registrant Mohawk Industries, Inc. December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (In thousands, except per share data) (1) Long-Term Debt The Company's revolving credit agreement provides for an interest rate of either (i) LIBOR plus 0.2% to 0.5%, depending upon the Company's performance measured against certain financial ratios, or (ii) the prime rate less 1.0% and has a termination date of January 28, 2004. At December 31, 2001, the Company had credit facilities of $450,000 under its revolving credit line and $70,000 under various short-term uncommitted credit lines. At December 31, 2001, a total of $448,933 was unused under these lines. All of these lines are unsecured. The credit agreement contains customary financial and other covenants. The Company must pay an annual facility fee ranging from .0015 to .0025 of the total credit commitment, depending upon the Company's performance measured against specific coverage ratios, under the revolving credit line. The Company uses an interest rate swap contract to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable interest rates as compared to fixed interest rates. Under an interest rate swap contract, the Company agrees to pay an amount equal to a fixed-rate of interest times a notional principal amount, and to receive in return an amount equal to a specified variable-rate of interest times the same notional principal amount of $100,000. The notional amounts of the contracts are not exchanged, and no other cash payments are made. The contract fair value is reflected on the balance sheet and related gains or losses are deferred in other comprehensive income. These deferred gains and losses are recognized in income as an adjustment to interest expense over the same period in which the related interest payments being hedged are recognized in income. However, to the extent that any of these contracts are not considered to be 100% effective in offsetting the change in the value of the interest payments being hedged, any changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion of these contracts is immediately recognized in income. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had an interest rate swap agreement outstanding for a notional amount of $100,000, which will be in effect until January 3, 2006. Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 5.82 %. As of December 31, 2001, the cumulative loss and fair value of the swap agreement was $4,503 or $2,837, net of applicable income taxes. Long-term debt consists of the following:
