NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. The consolidated balance sheet of Graco Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company)
as of March 29, 2002 and the related statements of earnings and cash flows
for the thirteen weeks then ended have been prepared by the Company without
being audited.
In the opinion of management, these consolidated statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position of Graco Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
March 29, 2002, and the results of operations and cash flows for all
periods presented.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's 2001 Form 10-K.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results that will be realized for the full fiscal year.
2. Major components of inventories were as follows (in thousands):

3. The Company has three reportable segments; Industrial/Automotive,
Contractor and Lubrication. The Company does not identify assets by
segment. Sales and operating earnings by segment for the thirteen weeks
ended March 29, 2002 and March 30, 2001 were as follows (in thousands):

4. Total comprehensive income for the quarter was $15.6 million in 2002 and
$12.4 million in 2001. There have been no significant changes to the
components of comprehensive income from those noted on the 2001 Form 10-K
except as described in note 6 below, with respect to translation gains and
losses.
5. Effective at the beginning of fiscal year 2002, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets." Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, amortization of
goodwill ceased, and results of initial goodwill impairment testing
indicated no impairment. Had SFAS No. 142 been effective at the beginning
of 2001, the non-amortization provisions would have had no effect on first
quarter results.

(Unaudited)
Components of intangible assets were (in thousands):
March 29, 2002 Dec. 28, 2001
-------------- -------------
Goodwill $ 7,939 $ 7,939
Other identifiable intangibles, net of
accumulated amortization of $7,000 and
$6,400 5,694 6,335
-------------- -------------
$13,633 $14,274
============== =============
Amortization of intangibles during the first quarter of 2002 was $642,000.
Estimated annual amortization is as follows: $2,400,000 in 2002, $1,600,000
in 2003, $800,000 in 2004, $400,000 in 2005 and $300,000 in 2006.
6. During the third quarter of 2001, the Company announced plans to relocate
the operations of its German subsidiary, Graco Verfahrenstechnik (GV) to
other Company facilities in Belgium and the U.S. This included termination
of approximately 50 employees, termination of leases and consolidation of
product lines.
General and administrative expense in the third quarter of 2001 included a
$1.4 million charge to establish a restructuring accrual for incremental
costs associated with relocating GV operations. Through the end of the
first quarter of 2002, there were no significant payments charged against
the accrual, but the Company expects that all amounts accrued will be paid
by the end of 2002.
The economic facts and circumstances considered in determining the
functional currency of GV changed as a result of relocating GV operations.
Consequently, the Company determined that the functional currency of GV
changed from the euro to the U.S. dollar. Effective at the beginning of
2002, adjustments resulting from the translation of GV financial statements
into U.S. dollars are no longer charged or credited to shareholders'
equity, but are now included in other expense (income).
7. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" was effective for the
Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2002. This standard provides for a
single accounting model to be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of,
and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more
disposal transactions. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 had no effect on the
Company's first quarter financial position or operating results.
Item 2. GRACO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Sales are down compared to the prior year, but net earnings are up due to an
improved gross margin rate and lower expenses.
The following table sets forth items from the Company's Consolidated Statements
of Earnings as percentages of net sales:
Thirteen Weeks Ended
--------------------
March 29, 2002 March 30, 2001
-------------- --------------
Net Sales 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of products sold 48.9 49.8
Product development 3.9 5.7
Selling, marketing and distribution 18.3 18.8
General and administrative 7.1 7.0
-------------- --------------
Operating Earnings 21.8 18.7
Interest expense 0.2 0.4
Other (income) expense, net 0.0 0.2
-------------- --------------
Earnings Before Income Taxes 21.6 18.1
Income taxes 7.2 6.1
-------------- --------------
Net Earnings 14.4% 12.0%
============== ==============
Net Sales
- ---------
Sales in the Industrial / Automotive segment were down 3 percent compared to
last year, and continue to be affected by weak economic conditions in North
America, Europe and Japan. Contractor segment sales are up 2 percent, mostly
from home center channel and ASM products. The Company acquired ASM at the end
of the first quarter of 2001. Lubrication segment sales were down, as large
orders received in 2001 were not repeated in 2002.
Sales by geographic area were as follows (in thousands):
Thirteen Weeks Ended
--------------------
March 29, 2002 March 30, 2001
-------------- --------------
Americas $ 78,578 $ 78,993
Europe 19,802 20,722
Asia Pacific 9,477 10,099
-------------- --------------
Consolidated $107,857 $109,814
============== =============-
Sales in Europe declined 4 percent, but would have been flat if translated at
consistent exchange rates. Sales in the Asia Pacific region were down 6 percent,
but were down only 2 percent when translated at consistent exchange rates.
Gross Profit
- ------------
Gross profit percentage of sales increased to 51.1 percent from 50.2 percent due
to manufacturing efficiencies, cost reduction initiatives, price increases and
product mix.
Operating Expenses
- ------------------
Total operating expenses decreased by 9 percent compared to last year. The
largest part of the decrease came from reduced product development expenses,
which dropped by 34 percent due to actions taken during 2001. Actions to contain
spending were also successful in reducing selling and general and administrative
expenses from the prior year. General and administrative expenses included a
$700,000 contribution to the Graco Foundation. No similar contribution was made
in the first quarter of 2001.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Cash generated from operations and from issuance of common stock in the first
quarter of 2002 increased cash and cash equivalent balances by $18 million,
after cash dividend payments of $3 million. In the first quarter of 2001, the
primary uses of cash included the acquisition of ASM Company and fixed asset
additions. Accounts receivable increased during the first quarter due to
extended terms on selected accounts.
The Company had unused lines of credit available at March 29, 2002 totaling $41
million. The available credit facilities and internally generated funds provide
the Company with the financial flexibility to meet liquidity needs.
Outlook
- -------
Predictions of a general economic recovery have not yet translated into
incremental sales in the Industrial / Automotive segment, but management
believes that a broad-based economic recovery would have a positive effect on
its business. While internal sales growth may be challenged by continued
difficult economic conditions, management remains committed to high
profitability while funding the Company's long-term growth strategies of
introducing new products, entering new markets, expanding distribution coverage
and pursuing strategic acquisitions. Management is cautiously optimistic that
2002 will be a year of higher net earnings for the Company.
SAFE HARBOR CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
- --------------------------------
A forward-looking statement is any statement made in this report and other
reports that the Company files periodically with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, as well as in press or earnings releases, analyst briefings and
conference calls, which reflects the Company's current thinking on market trends
and the Company's future financial performance at the time they are made. All
forecasts and projections are forward-looking statements.
The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 by making cautionary statements
concerning any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company.
The Company cannot give any assurance that the results forecasted in any
forward-looking statement will actually be achieved. Future results could differ
materially from those expressed, due to the impact of changes in various
factors. These risk factors include, but are not limited to: economic conditions
in the United States and other major world economies, currency fluctuations,
political instability, changes in laws and regulations, and changes in product
demand. Please refer to Exhibit 99 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for fiscal year 2001 for a more comprehensive discussion of these and other risk
factors.
