(3) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
In December 2001, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of
the Consumer Products segment. The segment was comprised of the following
businesses: Precor specialty exercise equipment, West Bend appliances and
premium cookware, and Florida Tile ceramic tile. The consolidated financial
statements present these businesses as discontinued operations in accordance
with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. On October 31, 2002 the sales
of Precor and West Bend were completed, resulting in cash proceeds of
$211,193,000. The Company is actively marketing and intends to dispose of
Florida Tile through a sale transaction in 2003.

(4) GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
Goodwill represents the excess cost over fair value of the net assets of
purchased businesses.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). Under SFAS
142, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill and intangibles that have
indefinite lives. SFAS 142 also requires that the Company assess goodwill and
intangibles with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually, based on the
fair value of the related reporting unit or intangible asset. The Company will
perform its annual impairment assessment in the first quarter of each year.
As the first step in the SFAS 142 implementation process, the Company assigned
its recorded goodwill and intangibles to approximately 300 of its 600 reporting
units based on the operating unit which includes the business acquired. Then,
the fair value of each reporting unit was compared to its carrying value. Fair
values were determined by discounting estimated future cash flows at the
Company's estimated cost of capital of 10%. Estimated future cash flows were
based either on current operating cash flows or on a detailed cash flow forecast
prepared by the relevant operating unit. If the fair value of an operating unit
is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded for the
difference between the fair value of the unit's goodwill and intangible assets
and the carrying value of those assets.
Based on the Company's initial impairment testing, goodwill was reduced by
$254,582,000 and intangible assets were reduced by $8,234,000, and a net
after-tax impairment charge of $221,890,000 ($0.72 per diluted share) was
recognized as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the first
quarter of 2002. The impairment charge was related to approximately 40
businesses and primarily resulted from evaluating impairment under SFAS 142
based on discounted cash flows, instead of using undiscounted cash flows as
required by the previous accounting standard.
In the first quarter of 2003, the Company performed its annual impairment
evaluation under SFAS 142, which resulted in goodwill impairment expense of
$702,000. This impairment charge was mainly related to a U.S. welding components
business.
Intangible expense was $8,608,000 for the first quarter of 2003 and $4,872,000
for the first quarter of 2002. Included in intangible expense in the first
quarter of 2003 are impairment charges of $3,761,000 for trademarks and brands
related to several U.S. welding components businesses and a U.S. business that
manufactures clean room mats.
(5) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:
Stock options have been issued to officers and other management employees under
ITW's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan and Premark's 1994 Incentive Plan. The stock
options generally vest over a four-year period.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, using
the intrinsic value method, which does not require that compensation cost be
recognized.
The Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the
amounts shown below if compensation cost had been determined based on fair value
at the grant dates in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123").
The pro forma net income effect of applying SFAS 123 was as follows:

On January 2, 2003, the Company granted 792,158 shares of restricted stock to
domestic officers and other key management employees. This grant was made in
lieu of the normal 2002 stock option grant. Annual compensation expense of
$17,487,000 related to this grant will be recorded over the three-year vesting
period.
(6) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No.
46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51
("FIN 46"). The Company is required to adopt FIN 46 in the third quarter of
2003. FIN 46 requires consolidation of entities in which the Company does not
have a majority voting interest but is deemed to be the party which has the
majority of the benefits or risk of loss in the entity. The Company is in the
process of reviewing its investments to determine if any of them would be
impacted by the adoption of FIN 46. Although this FIN 46 analysis has not yet
been completed, the Company expects that the adoption of FIN 46 will result in
the deconsolidation of the Company's mortgage-related investments and the
consolidation of its property development partnership investments. The Company's
risk of loss related to these investments is generally limited to the carrying
value of these investments at December 31, 2002.
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's consolidated results of operations for the first quarter of 2003
and 2002 were as follows:
(Dollars in thousands)
Three months ended
March 31
--------------------------------
2003 2002
---------- ----------
Operating revenues $2,313,790 $2,204,654
Operating income 321,000 309,899
Margin % 13.9% 14.1%
Operating revenues increased 5% in the 2003 first quarter versus the 2002
comparable period mainly due to a 5% increase from favorable currency
translation and a 2% increase from acquisitions. These increases were partially
offset by a 2% decline in base business revenues, which resulted from a 4%
decline in North America and 3% growth internationally. In North America,
industrial production remained at depressed levels and, as a result, capacity
utilization and capital spending remained weak. Consequently, many of the North
American end markets that the Company's businesses serve continued to be weak.
Internationally, economic conditions continued to be stronger than in North
America, particularly in the automotive and construction markets. However,
international capital spending was still fairly weak.
Operating income increased 4% in the first quarter of 2003. This increase
was the net effect of the following factors. First, favorable currency
translation increased income 4%. Second, the 2% decline in base business
revenues reduced income 5% due to operating leverage. Third, higher
corporate-related expenses associated with pensions, restricted shares, and
goodwill and intangible impairment reduced income by 6% (see below). Fourth,
operational cost savings increased income by 9%. Lastly, acquisitions net of
divestitures increased income 1%.
Pension expense increased $11.3 million primarily due to the lowering of the
asset return (from 11% to 8%) and discount rate (from 7.25% to 6.60%)
assumptions for the principal domestic plans. Compensation expense increased
$4.4 million due to the granting of restricted shares to domestic management
employees on January 2, 2003 in lieu of the normal annual stock option grant.
Intangible impairment charges of $4.5 million were the result of the Company's
annual impairment testing of its $2.6 billion of goodwill and intangibles. The
impaired assets reflect diminished expectations of future cash flows, and
primarily related to several U.S. welding components businesses.
Operational cost savings mainly resulted from the benefits of the last four
quarters of restructuring activity, which amounted to $55.1 million in expense
related to 70 different projects. In addition, a $5 million fixed asset
impairment charge was incurred in the first quarter of 2002, which was not
repeated in the current quarter.
Operating margins declined 20 basis points due to the above factors. Base
business revenue declines reduced margins by 50 basis points, operational cost
savings in excess of higher corporate-related expenses increased margins 40
basis points and acquisitions diluted margins 10 basis points.

(Dollars in thousands)

--------------------------------
2003 2002
---------- ----------
Operating revenues $748,785 $736,461
Operating income 111,146 124,778
Margin % 14.8% 16.9%
Operating revenues increased 2% in the first quarter of 2003 mainly due
to a 3% increase from acquisitions, partially offset by a base business revenue
decline of 2%. The base business revenue decline was a result of a 5% decline in
construction revenues resulting from continued weakness in commercial
construction and slowing residential construction activity. Although automotive
revenues grew 3% in the first quarter, this growth rate was slower than the past
quarters due to reduced automotive production. Revenues from the other
businesses in this segment declined 1% due to continued sluggishness in the
broad array of industrial and commercial markets that these businesses serve.
Operating income declined 11% in the first quarter of 2003, mainly due to
the following factors. First, higher restructuring costs reduced income 5%.
Second, the 2% decline in base business revenues reduced income 4% due to
operating leverage. Third, higher corporate-related expenses of $5.4 million
associated with pensions, restricted shares and intangible impairment charges
reduced income by 4%. Fourth, operational cost savings increased income by 2%
mainly due to the first quarter benefits from the last four quarters of
restructuring activity, which amounted to $6.4 million in expense for this
segment. Lastly, acquisitions increased income 1%.
Operating margins declined 210 basis points due to the above factors.
Higher restructuring costs reduced margins by 80 basis points, base business
revenue declines reduced margins 50 basis points, higher corporate-related
expenses net of operational cost savings lowered margins 40 basis points and
acquisitions diluted margins 40 basis points.

Operating revenues $405,512 $332,033
Operating income 42,327 28,226
Margin % 10.4% 8.5%
Operating revenues increased 22% in the first quarter of 2003 versus the prior
year mainly due to a 15% increase from favorable currency translation, a 2%
increase from acquisitions and a base business revenue increase of 5%. The base
business revenue increase was a result of a 3% increase in construction
revenues, mainly resulting from higher commercial construction activity in the
Australasia region. Although automotive revenues grew 4% in the first quarter of
2003, this growth rate was slower than past quarters due to reduced European
automotive production. Other businesses in this segment serve a broad array of
industrial and commercial markets, and revenues from these businesses increased
9%.
Operating income increased 50% in the first quarter of 2003 mainly due to the
following factors. First, favorable currency translation increased income 21%.
Second, the 5% growth in base business revenues increased income 23% due to
operating leverage. Third, higher restructuring costs reduced income 5%. Fourth,
higher corporate-related expenses of $2.4 million related to higher pension and
restricted share expenses reduced income 9%. Fifth, operational cost savings
increased income 19%. These operational cost savings were mainly due to a $5
million fixed asset impairment reflected in last year's results and cost
reductions related to the last four quarters of restructuring activity, which
amounted to $2.4 million in expense for this segment. Lastly, acquisitions
increased income 1%.
Operating margins increased 190 basis points due to the above factors. Higher
base business revenues increased margins by 150 basis points, operational cost
savings net of higher corporate-related expenses increased margins 80 basis
points, currency translation increased margins 20 basis points, higher
restructuring expense reduced margins 40 basis points and acquisitions diluted
margins 10 basis points.

-------- --------
Operating revenues $785,716 $827,184
Operating income 111,340 111,127
Margin % 14.2% 13.4%
Operating revenues decreased 5% in the first quarter of 2003 over the
prior year, mainly due to a 6% decline in base business revenues partially
offset by a revenue increase of 1% from acquired companies. The 6% decline in
base business revenues was a result of continued low capacity utilization in the
various markets this segment serves, which has resulted in slow demand for
capital equipment, and continued low industrial production activity, which has
reduced demand for consumable products. This lower market demand was reflected
in declines in food equipment revenues of 12%, welding revenues of 5% and
marking and decorating revenues of 11%. Industrial packaging revenues were even
with the prior year.
Operating income in the first quarter of 2003 was even with the prior
year as a result of the following factors. First, lower restructuring costs in
2003 increased income 10%. Second, the 6% decline in base business revenues
reduced income 19% due to operating leverage. Third, higher corporate-related
expenses of $9.0 million associated with pensions, restricted shares and
impairments of goodwill and intangible assets reduced income by 8%. Fourth,
operational cost savings increased income 16% mainly due to cost savings related
to the last four quarters of restructuring activity, which amounted to $30.4
million in expense for this segment. Lastly, acquisitions increased income 2%.
Operating margins increased 80 basis points due to the above factors.
Lower restructuring costs increased margins by 140 basis points, base business
revenue declines reduced margins by 180 basis points, operational cost savings
in excess of higher corporate-related expenses increased margins 110 basis
points and acquisitions increased margins 10 basis points.

Operating revenues $425,394 $365,594
Operating income 38,759 28,976
Margin % 9.1% 7.9%
Operating revenues increased 16% in the first quarter of 2003 primarily due to a
16% increase from favorable currency translation. Base business revenues
increased by 1% primarily as a result of improved European industrial production
activity. However, low European capacity utilization continued to dampen
equipment demand. Industrial packaging revenues increased 6%, food equipment
revenues were flat and specialty equipment revenues declined 5%.
Operating income increased 34% in the first quarter of 2003, mainly due to the
following factors. First, currency translation increased income 22%. Second, the
1% increase in base business revenues increased income 2% due to operating
leverage. Third, higher restructuring expense reduced income 6%. Fourth, higher
corporate-related expenses of $2.8 million resulting from higher pension and
restricted share expenses reduced income 10%. Fourth, operational cost savings
of 23% offset the above increases. These operational cost savings were mainly
due to cost reductions related to the last four quarters of restructuring
activity, which amounted to $15.9 million in expense in this segment. Lastly,
acquisitions net of divestitures increased income 2%.
Operating margins increased 120 basis points due to the above factors. Higher
base business revenues increased margins by 10 basis points, operational cost
savings net of higher corporate-related expenses increased margins 110 basis
points, currency translation increased margins 30 basis points, higher
restructuring expense reduced margins 50 basis points and acquisitions enhanced
margins 20 basis points.
LEASING AND INVESTMENTS
Businesses in this segment make opportunistic investments in mortgage-related
assets, leveraged and direct financing leases of telecommunications, aircraft
and other equipment, properties and property developments, affordable housing,
and a venture capital fund. As a result of the Company's strong cash flow, the
Company has historically had excess funds to make opportunistic investments that
meet the Company's desired financial returns. In connection with some of these
investment transactions, the Company may be contractually required to make
future cash payments related to affordable housing contributions, venture fund
capital contributions or the redemption of preferred stock of subsidiaries. See
page 29 of the Company's 2002 Annual Report to Stockholders for further
information regarding these cash contractual obligations as of December 31,
2002.

Income from mortgage investments decreased primarily due to lower swap income as
a result of lower market interest rates. Income from leases increased due to
income from telecommunications leases which were entered into at the end of the
first quarter of 2002. Operating income from other investments increased
primarily due to lower interest expense related to affordable housing
investments.

AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). Under SFAS
142, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill and intangibles that have
indefinite lives. SFAS 142 also requires that the Company assess goodwill and
intangibles with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually, based on the
fair value of the related reporting unit or intangible asset. The Company will
perform its annual impairment assessment in the first quarter of each year.
As the first step in the SFAS 142 implementation process, the Company assigned
its recorded goodwill and intangibles to approximately 300 of its 600 reporting
units based on the operating unit which includes the business acquired. Then,
the fair value of each reporting unit was compared to its carrying value. Fair
values were determined by discounting estimated future cash flows at the
Company's estimated cost of capital of 10%. Estimated future cash flows were
based either on current operating cash flows or on a detailed cash flow forecast
prepared by the relevant operating unit. If the fair value of an operating unit
is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded for the
difference between the fair value of the unit's goodwill and intangible assets
and the carrying value of those assets.
Based on the Company's initial impairment testing, goodwill was reduced by
$254.6 million and intangible assets were reduced by $8.2 million, and a net
after-tax impairment charge of $221.9 million ($0.72 per diluted share) was
recognized as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the first
quarter of 2002. The impairment charge was related to approximately 40
businesses and primarily resulted from evaluating impairment under SFAS 142
based on discounted cash flows, instead of using undiscounted cash flows as
required by the previous accounting standard.
In addition to the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle recorded
in 2002, goodwill and intangible expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2003
and 2002 was as follows:

------- -------
Total $9,310 $4,872
======= =======
In the first quarter of 2003, the Company performed its annual impairment
testing of its goodwill and intangible assets, which resulted in impairment
charges of $4.5 million. The 2003 goodwill impairment charge of $0.7 million was
related to a U.S. welding components business and primarily resulted from lower
estimated future cash flows than previously expected. Also in the first quarter
of 2003, intangible impairment charges of $3.8 million were recorded to reduce
to estimated fair value the carrying value of trademarks and brands related to
several U.S. welding components businesses and a U.S. business which
manufactures clean room mats.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was essentially flat in the first three months of 2003 versus
the first three months of 2002 as higher interest expense from the 6.55%
preferred debt securities issued in the second quarter of 2002 was offset by
lower interest expense at international operations resulting from lower
international debt levels.
OTHER INCOME
Other income increased to $3.3 million for the first three months of 2003 from
$2.1 million in 2002. This increase is primarily due to gains in 2003 versus
losses in 2002 on the sale of operations and affiliates and higher interest
income in 2003, partially offset by translation losses in 2003 versus gains in
2002 on foreign currency transactions.
INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Income from continuing operations of $199.5 million ($0.65 per diluted share) in
the first three months of 2003 was 2.6% higher than the 2002 first quarter
income from continuing operations of $194.4 million ($0.63 per diluted share).
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In December 2001, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of
the Consumer Products segment. These businesses were acquired by ITW in 1999 as
part of the Company's merger with Premark International Inc. ("Premark").
Subsequent to the Premark merger, the Company determined that the consumer
characteristics of the businesses in this segment were not a good long-term fit
with the Company's other industrially-focused businesses. Businesses in this
segment are located primarily in North America and manufacture household
products that are used by consumers, including Precor specialty exercise
equipment, West Bend small appliances and premium cookware, and Florida Tile
ceramic tile. On October 31, 2002 the sales of Precor and West Bend were
completed, resulting in net cash proceeds of $211.2 million. The Company is
actively marketing and intends to dispose of Florida Tile through a sale
transaction in 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow
The Company's primary source of liquidity is free operating cash flow.
Management continues to believe that such internally generated cash flow will be
adequate to service existing debt and to continue to pay dividends that meet its
dividend payout objective of 25-30% of the last three years' average net income.
In addition, free operating cash flow is expected to be adequate to finance
internal growth, small-to-medium sized acquisitions and additional investments.
The Company uses free operating cash flow to measure normal cash flow generated
by its operations, which is available for dividends, acquisitions, debt
repayment and additional investments. Free operating cash flow is a measurement
that is not the same as net cash flow from operating activities per the
statement of cash flows and may not be consistent with similarly titled measures
used by other companies.
