WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION REPORTS RECORD RESULTS
Strong International Earnings Growth
BENTON HARBOR, MICH., JULY 20, 2007—Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE: WHR) announced today that second-quarter 2007 net sales increased 3 percent to $4.9 billion. Net earnings from continuing operations were $161 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, up approximately 60 percent from the $100 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, reported in the same period last year.
Earnings from continuing operations for the second quarter reflect strong operating profit improvement within each of the company’s international business segments, the benefit from efficiencies associated with last year’s acquisition of Maytag, productivity improvements, strong cost controls, favorable currency and a lower effective tax rate. Results were adversely affected by significantly higher material costs, lower industry shipments within the United States, increased brand investment and a pension curtailment charge. Each regional business increased year-over-year operating profit margins during the quarter.
“Our international businesses continue to execute extremely well and we are pleased with their financial performance through the first half of 2007,” said Jeff M. Fettig, chairman and chief executive officer of Whirlpool Corporation. “While weak industry demand and significantly higher material prices in the United States have unfavorably impacted our results for the past year, we are positive about the trends exiting the second quarter and believe demand will begin returning to moderate growth levels in the second half of this year.”
During the quarter, the company repurchased $101 million of common stock. Approximately $365 million remains under the company’s $500 million share repurchase program.

SECOND-QUARTER REGIONAL REVIEW*
Whirlpool North America reported second-quarter revenue of $3.0 billion, down approximately 6 percent versus the year-ago period primarily due to lower OEM shipments and industry demand. As expected, industry unit shipments of major appliances (T7)** declined approximately 1 percent for the quarter and 5 percent for the first half of 2007. Industry shipment trends began to improve during the quarter, following six months of high single-digit, year-over-year declines.
Operating profit of $179 million for the quarter improved over the prior year despite significant material cost increases, primarily for base metals, component parts and steel, lower industry demand, increased brand investment in support of theMaytag launch of new innovative products and a pension curtailment charge. Acquisition efficiencies, cost-based price increases and lower administrative expense mitigated the higher costs.
Based on current economic conditions, the company continues to expect full-year 2007 U.S. industry unit shipments to decline approximately 2 to 3 percent.
Whirlpool Europereported record second-quarter revenue and operating profit. Revenue increased 10 percent to $900 million driven by strongWhirlpool brand sales performance and the impact from innovative new product offerings. Excluding currency translation, sales increased by 3 percent. Industry demand during the quarter was estimated to have increased 2 to 3 percent.
Operating profit of $51 million increased 20 percent for the quarter and margins expanded as a favorable mix, productivity improvements and reduced benefit expenses offset higher material costs during the quarter.
Based on current economic conditions in Europe, the company continues to expect full-year industry unit shipments to increase approximately 2 to 3 percent.
Whirlpool Latin Americareported record second-quarter revenue and operating profit. Revenue of $822 million grew 29 percent from last year driven by strong industry growth in appliances, favorable economic conditions in Brazil, cost-based price adjustments, and strong demand for the region’s top-selling innovative brands. Excluding currency translations, sales for appliances and compressors increased approximately 18 percent. Regional unit shipments of appliances grew by 22 percent while industry unit shipments were estimated to have increased 18 percent during the quarter.
Record operating profit of $95 million increased significantly from the prior year. Higher industry demand within the region, strong productivity and price increases implemented to mitigate higher material costs drove the year-over-year improvement and increased operating profit margins to 11.6 percent.
Based on the current economic environment in Brazil, the company continues to expect full-year 2007 appliance industry shipments to increase 15 to 20 percent.
Whirlpool Asiareported sales of $163 million, an increase of 23 percent from the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of currency, sales increased approximately 13 percent. Increased operating profit during the quarter was led by very strong growth in India. The region benefited from successful new product introductions, an improved product mix and cost-based price increases implemented to mitigate higher material costs.
Based on current economic conditions in Asia, the company continues to expect 2007 industry unit shipments to increase 5 to 10 percent.
*During the first quarter of 2007, the company adopted changes to its segment reporting consistent with the methodology the chief executive officer now uses to evaluate each segment’s operating and financial results. The company previously included the financial results for its Caribbean operations and exports of certain portable appliances to Europe within its North America business segment. The results for these businesses are now being reported within the Latin America and Europe segments, respectively. In addition, the company has reallocated certain costs previously included within corporate administrative expense to each of the respective regions. Regional results for 2006 have been reclassified to reflect these changes.
Outlook
For the balance of the year, Whirlpool continues to expect strong performance within its international businesses. Increasing U.S. industry demand, acquisition efficiencies, productivity improvements and innovativeMaytag product launches are expected to improve performance within North America during the second half of the year.
“We are addressing current U.S. industry demand trends and heightened global material costs with continued new product innovation, increased productivity throughout our global operations, as well as improving our overall mix of business and realizing implemented cost-based price adjustments,” said Fettig. “We now expect to realize efficiencies in excess of $400 million from the Maytag acquisition during 2007 and continue to execute plans to revitalize Maytag’s product offering and growth. Due to rising oil prices, the company now expects the combination of material and oil-related costs to increase approximately $570 million for the year.”
Whirlpool continues to expect full-year 2007 earnings per diluted share from continuing operations to be in the $8.00 to $8.50 range and anticipates generating between $600 million to $650 million in free cash flow.
Cash Flow Reconciliation
The table below reconciles projected 2007 cash provided by continuing operations determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States to free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure. Management believes that free cash flow provides shareholders with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing the company’s ability to fund its activities and obligations. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures, including the difficulty associated with comparing companies that use similarly named non-GAAP measures whose calculations may differ from the company’s calculations. As defined by the company, free cash flow is cash provided by continuing operations after capital expenditures and proceeds from the sale of assets/businesses. Free cash flow does not include proceeds from the sale of Maytag businesses. The projections shown here are based upon many estimates and are inherently subject to change based on future decisions made by management and the board of directors of the company, and significant economic, competitive and other uncertainties and contingencies.

Whirlpool Additional Information:
This document contains forward-looking statements that speak only as of this date. Whirlpool disclaims any obligation to update these statements. Forward-looking statements in this document include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expected earnings per share, cash flow, productivity and material and oil-related prices, as well as expectations as to the integration with Maytag Corporation. Many risks, contingencies and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from Whirlpool Corporation’s forward-looking statements. Among these factors are: (1) intense competition in the home appliance industry reflecting the impact of both new and established global competitors, including Asian and European, manufacturers and the strength of trade customers; (2) Whirlpool’s ability to continue its strong relationship with Sears Holding Corporation in North America (accounting for approximately 14% of Whirlpool’s 2006 consolidated net sales of $18.1 billion) and other significant trade customers, and the ability of these trade customers to maintain or increase market share; (3) Whirlpool’s ability to complete the integration of Maytag Corporation on a timely basis and fully realize the anticipated benefits of the merger while remaining within the current cost estimates; (4) demand for Whirlpool’s products, including the strength of the U.S. building industry and the level of interest rates; (5) the ability of Whirlpool to achieve its business plans, including productivity improvements, cost control, leveraging of its global operating platform, acceleration of the rate of innovation and realization of cost-based price increases; (6) fluctuations in the cost of key materials (including steel, oil, plastic, resins, copper and zinc) and components, and the ability of Whirlpool to offset cost increases; (7) the ability of suppliers of critical parts, components and manufacturing equipment to deliver sufficient quantities to Whirlpool in a timely and cost-effective manner; (8) our ability to attract, develop and retain executives and other qualified employees; (9) changes in market conditions, health care cost trends and regulatory changes that could increase future funding obligations for pension and postretirement benefit plans; (10) the cost of compliance with environmental and health and safety regulations, including regulations in Europe regarding appliance disposal; (11) potential exposure to product liability claims, including claims that may
arise through Whirlpool’s regular investigations of potential quality issues as part of its ongoing effort to provide quality products to consumers; (12) the impact of labor relations; (13) Whirlpool’s ability to obtain and protect intellectual property rights; (14) volatility in Whirlpool’s effective tax rate; (15) the ability of Whirlpool to manage foreign currency fluctuations; (16) global, political and/or economic uncertainty and disruptions, especially in Whirlpool’s significant geographic regions, including uncertainty and disruptions arising from natural disasters or terrorist attacks; and (17) risks associated with operations outside the United States.
