(Unaudited)

5. There have been no significant changes to the components of comprehensive
income from those noted on the 2000 Form 10-K. Total comprehensive income
in 2001 was $17.8 million in the third quarter and $47.8 million
year-to-date. In 2000, comprehensive income was $16.9 million for the
third quarter and $49.6 million for the nine-month period.
6. The adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" on
December 30, 2000, resulted in no transition adjustment. See Note A to
financial statements included in the Company's 2000 Form 10-K for a
description of the Company's use of derivative instruments and hedging
activities.
7. On March 19, 2001, the Company purchased ASM Company, Inc. ("ASM") for $16
million cash. ASM manufactures and markets spray tips, guns, poles and
other accessories for the professional painter, and had sales of
approximately $11 million in 2000.
The Company used the purchase method to account for the acquisition. Based
on the results of an independent appraisal, the purchase price was
allocated to net tangible assets of $5 million (net of assumed liabilities
totaling $2 million), identifiable intangible assets of $3 million and
goodwill of $8 million. Identifiable intangible assets include patents,
proprietary technologies, trade names, trademarks, customer list and a
non-compete agreement. Intangibles and goodwill are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over useful lives ranging from 2 to 10 years.
8. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which will be effective for
the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2002. Upon adoption of SFAS
No. 142, goodwill amortization of approximately $800,000 on an annualized
basis will cease. Based on a preliminary assessment, management believes
that other provisions of SFAS No. 142 will not have a material impact on
the Company's financial position or results of operations, however results
of initial goodwill impairment testing required upon adoption are not
currently determinable.
9. Upon the acquisition of ASM, the Company began implementing a plan to move
ASM operations from California to expanded facilities in Sioux Falls,
South Dakota. Estimated incremental costs associated with the plan that
would not benefit continuing activities were recognized as liabilities
assumed in the acquisition and included in the allocation of acquisition
cost.
During the third quarter of 2001, the Company also announced plans to
restructure the operations of its German subsidiary, Graco
Verfahrenstechnik (GV), including termination of approximately 50
employees, termination of leases, consolidation of product lines, and
relocation of operations to other Company facilities in Belgium and the
U.S.
Third quarter general and administrative expense includes a $1.4 million
charge to establish a restructuring accrual for incremental costs
associated with relocating GV operations. There were no significant
payments charged against the accrual during the quarter.
Item 2. GRACO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Net earnings are down from prior year due to lower sales. Sales are down due to
reduced demand resulting from economic weakness and the adverse impacts of
foreign currency exchange rates.
The following table sets forth items from the Company's Consolidated Statements
of Earnings as percentages of net sales:
Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
---------------------------- ----------------------------

Net Earnings 14.1% 14.7% 13.4% 13.6%
============= ============= ============= =============
Net Sales
- ---------
Sales in the Industrial / Automotive segment were down due to reduced demand
resulting from weak economic conditions, particularly in North America. In the
Contractor segment, third quarter sales increased compared to prior year on the
strength of sales in the home center channel, which increased 21 percent.
Year-to-date, Contractor sales were even with last year. Sales in the
Lubrication segment exceeded 2000 sales for both the three-month and nine-month
periods due mostly to large sales to key customers and increased market share.
Price increases have not had a significant impact on sales in 2001.
Sales by geographic area were as follows:
Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
----------------------------- ----------------------------
Sep. 28, 2001 Sep. 29, 2000 Sep. 28, 2001 Sep. 29,2000
------------- ------------- ------------- ------------
Americas $ 86,513 $ 89,613 $262,601 $278,655
Europe 20,851 21,355 62,430 64,351
Asia Pacific 11,287 12,132 34,307 35,089
------------- ------------- ------------- -------------
Consolidated $118,651 $123,100 $359,338 $378,095
============= ============= ============= =============
Year-to-date translated at consistent exchange rates, Europe would have shown a
2 percent increase in sales compared to last year, and Asia Pacific region would
have shown a 5 percent increase over prior year sales. For the third quarter,
the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates was not as great as it was in
the first two quarters of 2001 due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in
Europe.
Gross Profit
- ------------
Gross profit percentages of sales for the quarter and year-to-date were down
compared to the prior year due to lower sales volume, product mix and the
negative impact of changes in exchange rates.
Operating Expenses
- ------------------
Year-to-date product development expenses were up due to spending for
significant new product launches in the first part of the year, but are down for
the third quarter due to lower product-launch-related expenses and management
actions to reduce the product development expense running rate. Selling,
marketing and distribution expenses were down from prior year due in part to
lower sales-based incentives. In addition, the first half of last year included
costs related to the launch of Contractor products in the home center channel.
The Company estimates that costs related to relocating GV and ASM will total
approximately $4 million over a twelve month period, including the $1.4 million
restructuring charge to general and administrative expense in the third quarter.
Excluding the restructuring charge, general and administrative expenses
decreased due mostly to reduced information systems spending and lower
sales-and-earnings-based incentives.
Year-to-date operations include a $2.5 million pension credit related to the
Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plan, compared to a $3.6 million credit
in the same period last year. These credits resulted from recognition of
investment gains attributable to pension plan assets, and are included in cost
of products sold and operating expenses based on salaries and wages.
Interest Expense and Other Expense
- ----------------------------------
Interest expense decreased due to reduced debt levels.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company generated $60 million of cash flow from operating activities in the
first nine months of 2001, compared to $62 million for the same period last
year. Significant uses of cash in 2001 include the construction of expanded
manufacturing, warehouse and office facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota and
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the acquisition of ASM, and reduction of debt.
The Company had unused lines of credit available at September 28, 2001 totaling
$74 million. The available credit facilities and internally generated funds
provide the Company with the financial flexibility to meet liquidity needs.
Outlook
- -------
The Company remains concerned about the weak North American economy and an
economic slowdown in Europe. While internal sales growth will be challenged by
difficult economic conditions, management believes the Company is positioned to
perform at high levels of profitability in both good and difficult times.
