Federal-Mogul Announces Second Quarter 2003 Results
Southfield, Michigan, July 29, 2003...Federal-Mogul Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: FDMLQ) today reported financial results for the second quarter 2003.
Second-Quarter Highlights:
| • | Net sales were $1,445 million |
| • | Net cash provided from operating activities was $168 million, an improvement of $93 million over 2002 |
| • | Chip McClure appointed chief executive officer and president |
| • | Federal-Mogul honored by both IAPA and Uni-Select as Vendor of the Year |
| • | Opened a Technical Training Institute for customers in Burscheid, Germany |
For the second quarter of 2003, Federal-Mogul posted sales of $1,445 million, up slightly compared to $1,442 million in 2002. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange and divestitures, second quarter 2003 sales were down five percent.
Federal-Mogul reported a second quarter net loss of $5 million, compared to net earnings of $16 million in the second quarter of 2002. Excluding the effects of Chapter 11 and Administration related reorganization expenses and business divestitures, Federal-Mogul reported pretax results from operations of $48 million in the second quarter 2003 compared to $60 million in the second quarter 2002 (a reconciliation of pretax results from operations to reported net income is provided in the attached supplemental data).
Operating cash flows for the second quarter of 2003 were $168 million, compared to $75 million in the second quarter of 2002. The company’s strong cash flow was used to pay down the Debtor-in-Possesion (DIP) financing by $90 million. 2003 year-to-date cash flow from operating activities was $201 million compared to $107 million for the same period in 2002.

“We continue to make steady operational progress in a difficult market. Pricing continues to place pressure on the supplier community and we are working closely with our customers to identify mutually beneficial cost savings opportunities,” said Chip McClure, chief executive officer and president. “We remain on course with our strategic plan and I’m pleased with our execution, especially in the areas of cash flow and productivity. Through productivity, we have been able to mostly offset industry volume declines, pricing pressures, increased pension expense and inflation.”
“We’ve also launched a renewed focus on innovation to drive organic growth,” added McClure. “This initiative is backed by an energized team dedicated to developing new products and creating value by differentiating the products and services we provide to our customers.”
Aftermarket Sales
Sales of replacement parts to aftermarket customers totaled 45 percent of Federal-Mogul’s second quarter 2003 sales. Second quarter 2003 aftermarket sales were $655 million, compared to $660 million for second quarter 2002. Weak market conditions in Venezuela, Mexico and the Middle East as well as softness in retail sales in North America impacted aftermarket sales. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange, aftermarket sales were down five percent compared to 2002. By geographic region, second quarter 2003 aftermarket sales were 75 percent in the Americas and 25 percent in Europe.
“We are very proud to have been honored as Vendor of the Year from two significant aftermarket customers, IAPA and Uni-Select,” said McClure. “We have also just completed the expansion of our web order management system which is now serving more than 800 customers with over 24,000 transactions per month.”
New product launches for the second quarter include the Anco® Hydroclear wiper blade in North America and the Ferodo® DS Performance aftermarket brake pad in Europe. Federal-Mogul continues to experience success with the Wagner ThermoQuiet™ brake pad securing in the second quarter $10 million of annual new business for that product line.

Second quarter OE sales in all other product lines (which consists primarily of OE Lighting and Asia Pacific) were $39 million compared with $62 million in 2002.
