2000 1999

Depreciation (associated with
cost of goods sold) 10.8 10.5
------ ------
Gross profit $148.4 $141.7
====== ======
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $563.9 million,
compared to $533.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999, an increase
of $30.0 million or 5.6%. The improved sales performance occurred at each
operating company and reflected a strong order flow throughout the period.
Shipments at selective locations were negatively impacted in late January due to
severe winter weather.
Cost of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $404.7 million
compared to $381.7 million for the comparable prior year period. Cost of
operations as a percentage of net sales increased from 71.5% for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 to 71.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
The increase reflects manufacturing inefficiencies caused by severe winter
weather in late January.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March
31, 2000 were $87.0 million compared with $84.0 million in the prior year. As a
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 15.4%
and 15.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999,
respectively. The decrease reflects tight control of selling, general and
administrative expenses.
Interest expense totaled $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000
compared to $9.9 million in the prior year comparable period. The decrease in
interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulted from lower
long-term debt levels partially offset by higher interest rates.
The effective income tax rate was 36.0% and 37.0% for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, respectively. The effective tax rates for
each period were adversely impacted by certain nondeductible expenses incurred
and provisions for state and local taxes.
Net earnings per common share for basic and diluted were $0.62 and $0.61,
respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared with $0.54 and
$0.52, respectively, for the same period last year. Average common and common
equivalent shares outstanding used in the calculation of net earnings per common
share on a basic and diluted basis were 49,374,000 and 50,351,000, respectively,
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 51,561,000 and 53,127,000,
respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Working Capital
- ---------------
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2000 amounted to $10.7 million, compared
with $7.4 million at December 31, 1999. During the three months ended March 31,
2000, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $45.9 million, net cash
used by investing activities totaled $9.7 million and net cash used by financing
activities totaled $32.9 million.
Working capital was $521.0 at March 31, 2000, compared with $518.0 million at
December 31, 1999. The current ratio was 3.7-to-1 at March 31, 2000, compared to
4.4-to-1 at December 31, 1999.
FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
As of March 31, 2000, long-term debt consisted of the following, in millions:
Secured credit agreement:
Revolving credit facility $285.2
Term loan facility 200.0
Other 16.8
------
$502.0
======
To meet short-term capital and other financial requirements, the Company
maintains a $600.0 million revolving credit facility as part of its Secured
Credit Agreement with a group of financial institutions. The revolving credit
facility allows for both issuance of letters of credit and cash borrowings.
Letter of credit outstandings are limited to no more than $60.0 million. Cash
borrowings are limited only by the facility's maximum availability less letters
of credit outstanding. At March 31, 2000, there were $285.2 million of cash
borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $41.3 million in
letters of credit outstanding, leaving an excess of $273.5 million available
under the revolving credit facility.
The Company believes its Secured Credit Agreement, together with cash generated
from operations, will be adequate to meet liquidity requirements for the
foreseeable future.

Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or by the Securities and Exchange Commission in
