(A definitive proxy statement has been filed with the Commission since the close of the fiscal year). PART I Item 1. BUSINESS Ingersoll-Rand Company (the company) was organized in 1905 under the laws of the State of New Jersey as a consolidation of Ingersoll-Sergeant Drill Company and the Rand Drill Company, whose businesses were established in the early 1870's. Over the years, the company has supplemented its original business, which consisted primarily of the manufacture and sale of rock drilling equipment, with additional products which have been developed internally or obtained through acquisition. The following acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, each purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The results of operations since the dates of acquisition are included in the consolidated financial statements. o On August 27, 1996, the company acquired for $34.3 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities, substantially all of the assets of Zimmerman International Corp. (Zimmerman). Zimmerman manufactures equipment and systems that assist in handling or lifting tools, components and materials for a variety of industrial operations. o On January 31, 1996, the company acquired for $95.4 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities, the Steelcraft Division of MascoTech, Inc. Steelcraft manufactures a wide range of cold-rolled and galvanized steel doors for use primarily in nonresidential construction. o In May 1995, the company acquired Clark Equipment Company (Clark) for approximately $1.5 billion in cash. Clark's business is the design, manufacture and sale of skid-steer loaders, compact excavators, agricultural equipment, asphalt paving equipment, transmissions for off-highway equipment (subsequently sold), golf cars and light utility vehicles. Dispositions that the company has made in recent years are as follows: o On February 14, 1997, the company sold Clark-Hurth Components Group to Dana Corporation. At December 31, 1996, the net assets subject to sale totalled $265.7 million and have been classified as current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Clark-Hurth Components had been reported as part of the Engineered Equipment Segment. o In August 1996, the company agreed to sell the remaining assets of the Process Systems Group to Gencor Industries,Inc. The sale was completed during the fourth quarter of 1996 at a price of approximately $58 million in cash for a pretax gain of approximately $10 million. The Process Systems Group had been reported as part of the Engineered Equipment Segment. o On March 26, 1996, the company sold the assets of the Pulp Machinery Division (the largest unit in the Process Systems Group) for approximately $122.3 million to Beloit Corporation, a subsidiary of Harnischfeger Industries, Inc., for a pretax gain of $45 million. In addition, in March 1996, the company sold an investment for a gain of $4.8 million. o In May 1995, the company sold the domestic paving equipment business to Champion Road Machinery Limited of Canada. The sale was a preacquisition requirement, in order to satisfy concerns of the United States Justice Department, prior to the Clark acquisition. The company incurred a $7.1 million pretax loss associated with this sale. During March 1997, the company was notified by regulatory authorities involved with the company's January 27, 1997, offer to acquire Newman Tonks Group PLC (Newman Tonks), that they would not challenge the proposed acquisition, valued at approximately $376 million (230 million pounds sterling). The company expects to complete its acquisition of Newman Tonks in April 1997. Products The company manufactures and sells primarily nonelectrical machinery and equipment. Principal products include the following: Agricultural sprayers Foundation drills Air balancers Golf cars Air compressors & accessories Hoists Air dryers Industrial pumps Air logic controls Lubrication equipment Air motors Material handling equipment Air tools Monitoring drills Architectural hardware trim Needle roller bearings Asphalt compactors Paving equipment Automated-parts washing Pneumatic cylinders systems Pneumatic valves Automated production systems Portable compressors Automotive components Portable generators Ball bearings Portable light towers Blasthole drills Road-building machinery Compact hydraulic excavators Rock drills Construction equipment Rock stabilizers Diaphragm pumps Roller bearings Door closers Rotary drills Door hardware Rough-terrain forklifts Door locks Skid-steer loaders Engineered pumps Soil compactors Engine-starting systems Spray-coating systems Exit devices Utility vehicles Extrusion pump systems Waterjet-cutting systems Fastener-tightening systems Water well drills Fluid-handling equipment Winches These products are sold primarily under the company's name and also under other names including ABG, Aro, Blaw-Knox, Bobcat, Centac, Charles Maire, Club Car, Ecoair, Fafnir, Ingersoll-Dresser Pumps, Jeumont-Schneider Pumps, Klemm, LCN, McCartney, Melroe, Montabert, NREC, Pacific, Pleuger, Schlage, Spra-Coupe, Steelcraft, Torrington, Von Duprin, Worthington and Zimmerman. During the past three years, the division of the company's sales between capital goods and expendables has been in the approximate ratio of 58 percent and 42 percent, respectively. The company generally defines as expendables those products which are not capitalized by the ultimate user. Examples of such products are parts sold for replacement purposes, power tools and needle bearings. Additional information on the company's business and financial information about industry segments is presented in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the company's Annual Report to Shareowners for 1996, incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K Annual Report. Distribution The company's products are distributed by a number of methods which the company believes are appropriate to the type of product. Sales are made domestically through branch sales offices and through distributorships and dealers across the United States. International sales are made through approximately 60 subsidiary sales and service companies with a supporting chain of distributors in over 100 countries. Working Capital The working capital requirements of the company vary with respect to the many products and industries in which it is involved. In general, the requirements of its Engineered Equipment Segment, which manufactures machinery for specialized customer needs, involve a relatively long lead time and, at times, more significant company investment with respect to the particular product or order. Historically, these orders are generally covered by progress payments, which reduce the company's investment in the amount of inventory maintained by this segment. The products manufactured by the company's Standard Machinery and Bearings, Locks and Tools segments are more in the nature of standard equipment. Consequently, a wider variety must usually be more readily available to meet rapid delivery requirements. Such working capital requirements are not, however, in the opinion of management, materially different from those experienced by the company's major competitors. Customers No material part of the company's business is dependent upon a single customer or very few customers, the loss of any one of which would have a material adverse effect on the company's operations. Competitive Conditions The company's products are sold in highly competitive markets throughout the world against products produced by both foreign and domestic corporations. The principal methods of competition in these markets relate to price, quality and service. The company believes that it is one of the leading manufacturers in the world of a broad line of air compression systems, anti-friction bearings, construction equipment, air tools, pumps (through the IDP joint venture), golf cars and utility vehicles. In addition, the company believes it is a leading supplier in domestic markets for locks, other door hardware products, skid-steer loaders and asphalt paving equipment. International Operations Sales to customers outside the United States, including domestic sales for export, accounted for approximately 41 percent of the consolidated net sales in 1996. Information as to operating income by geographic area is set forth in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the company's Annual Report to Shareowners for 1996, incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K Annual Report. Sales outside of the United States are made in more than 100 countries; therefore, the attendant risks of manufacturing or selling in a particular country, such as nationalization and establishment of common markets, would not have a significant effect on the company's international operations. Raw Materials The company manufactures many of the components included in its products. The principal raw materials required for the manufacture of the company's products are purchased from numerous suppliers, and the company believes that available sources of supply will generally be sufficient for its needs for the foreseeable future. Backlog The company's approximate backlog of orders at December 31, 1996, believed by it to be firm, was $335 million for the Standard Machinery Segment, $369 million for the Engineered Equipment Segment and $638 million for the Bearings, Locks and Tools Segment as compared to $389 million, $636 million and $564 million, respectively, at December 31, 1995. These backlog figures are based on orders received. While the major portion of the company's products are built in advance of order and either shipped or assembled from stock, orders for specialized machinery or specific customer application are submitted with extensive lead time and are often subject to revision, deferral, cancellation or termination. The company estimates that approximately 90 percent of the backlog will be shipped during the next twelve months. Research, Engineering and Development The company maintains extensive research, engineering and development facilities for experimenting, testing and developing high quality products. The company employs approximately 2,000 professional employees for its research, engineering and development activities. The company spent $209 million in 1996, $190 million in 1995 and $155 million in 1994 on research, engineering and development. Patents and Licenses The company owns numerous patents and patent applications and is licensed under others. While it considers that in the aggregate its patents and licenses are valuable, it does not believe that its business is materially dependent on its patents or licenses or any group of them. In the company's opinion, engineering and production skills, and experience are more responsible for its market position than patents or licenses. Environmental Matters The company has been and continues to be dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, the company currently is engaged in site investigations and remedial activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities, including the facilities added through the Clark acquisition. During 1996, the company spent approximately $8 million on capital projects for pollution abatement and control and an additional $6 million for environmental remediation expenditures at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by the company. It should be noted that these amounts are difficult to estimate because environmental improvement costs are generally a part of the overall improvement costs at a particular plant, and the accurate estimate of which portion of an improvement or a capital expenditure relates to an environmental improvement is difficult to ascertain. The company believes that these expenditure levels will continue and may increase over time. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain. The company is a party to environmental lawsuits and claims, and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. It is identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at approximately 39 federal Superfund and state remediations sites (including Clark- acquired PRP locations), excluding sites as to which the company's records disclose no involvement or as to which the company's liability has been fully determined. For all sites there are other PRPs and in most instances, the company's site involvement is minimal. In estimating its liability, the company has not assumed it will bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based generally on the parties' financial condition and probable contribution on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future. Although uncertainties regarding environmental technology, state and federal laws and regulations and individual site information make estimating the liability difficult, management believes that the total liability for the cost of remediation and environmental lawsuits and claims will not have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations liquidity or cash flows of the company for any year. It should be noted that when the company estimates its liability for environmental matters, such estimates are based on current technologies and the company does not discount its liability or assume any insurance recoveries. Employees There are approximately 40,100 employees of the company throughout the world, of whom approximately 26,300 work in the United States and 13,800 in foreign countries. Approximately 29 percent of the company's United States production and maintenance employees, who work in 12 plants, are represented by 7 unions. The company believes relations with its employees are good. Item 2. PROPERTIES The company's executive offices are located at Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. Manufacturing and assembly operations are conducted in 49 plants in the United States; 5 plants in Canada; 25 plants in Europe; 7 plants in Asia; 6 plants in Latin America and 1 plant in Africa. The company also maintains various warehouses, offices and repair centers in the United States, Canada and abroad. Substantially all plant facilities are owned by the company and the remainder are under long-term lease. The company believes that its plants and equipment have been well-maintained and are generally in good condition. The company has several closed facilities that it is actively marketing with the intent of selling them at their net realizable value. The operating segments for which the facilities are primarily used are as described below. Facilities that produce products in several operating segments are classified by the products which they primarily manufacture. Facilities under long-term lease are included below and are not significant to each operating segment's total number of plants or square footage. Standard Machinery This segment's products include machinery regularly used in general manufacturing and in industries such as mining and construction. Products range from blasthole drills used in mining and construction, small air compressors found worldwide in auto service stations, skid-steer loaders and golf cars.
