Definitive Proxy Statement for the 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 27, 1995 --- Part III. PART I Item I. Business Shaw Industries, Inc. ("Shaw" or the "Company") is the world's largest carpet manufacturer based on both revenue and volume of production. Shaw designs and manufactures approximately 2,500 styles of tufted and woven carpet for residential and commercial use under the PHILADELPHIA, TRUSTMARK, CABIN CRAFTS, SHAW COMMERCIAL CARPETS, STRATTON, NETWORX, SHAWMARK, EVANS BLACK, SALEM, SUTTON, KOSSET, CROSSLEY, ABINGDON, REDBOOK, MINSTER, INVICTA and TERZA trade names and under certain private labels. The Company's manufacturing operations are fully integrated from the processing of yarns through the finishing of carpet. The Company's carpet is sold in a broad range of prices, patterns, colors and textures with the majority of its sales in the medium to high retail price range. Shaw sells its products to retailers, distributors and commercial users throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia and the United Kingdom and, to a lesser degree, exports to additional overseas markets. On May 31, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to form a joint venture with Grupo Industrial Alfa, S.A. de C.V. of Monterrey, Mexico ("Alfa"), for the manufacture, distribution and marketing of carpets, rugs and related products in Mexico and South America. The Company acquired a fifty-one percent interest in Terza, S.A. de C.V., and accordingly, the subsidiary is included in consolidation at December 31, 1994 and the results of operations of Terza are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since May 31, 1994. On January 9, 1995, the Company announced that it had acquired through its wholly owned subsidiary, Carpets International (U.K.) Plc, substantially all of the operating assets of the Carpet Division of Coats Viyella Plc for approximately $29.4 million. On March 1, 1995, the Company announced that a joint venture earlier formed with Versax, S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary and successor in-interest to Alfa, had acquired some of the carpet manufacturing assets of Tapetes Luxor, S.A. de C.V. and Corporacion Santa Rosa, S.A. de C.V. The Company, based upon its international acquisitions, is now positioned to supply the Australian, Pacific Rim and European markets with high quality products. For 1994 and 1993, international operations accounted for 10.4 percent and 3.9 percent of the Company's net sales, respectively. As a result of its foreign expansion, the Company has limited exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on its intercompany payables and on certain 1 other U.S. dollar denominated net liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company may employ foreign exchange contracts when, in the normal course of business, they are determined to effectively manage and reduce such exposure. Geographical information about the Company's sales, operating profit and identifiable assets is incorporated by reference to page 18 of Exhibit 13 to this report. The results of the acquired operations in fiscal 1994 did not have a material effect on the Company's net income. Products and Marketing Substantially all carpet manufactured by the Company is tufted carpet made from nylon and polypropylene yarn. In the tufting process, yarn is inserted by multiple needles into a synthetic backing, forming loops which may be cut or left uncut, depending on the desired texture or construction. According to industry estimates, tufted carpet accounted for over 91% of unit volume shipments of carpet manufactured in the United States during 1994. Substantially all carpet manufactured in the United States is made from synthetic fibers, with nylon accounting for 65.2% of the total, polypropylene 24.9%, polyester 9.4% and wool 0.5%. During 1994, the Company processed approximately 95% of its requirements for carpet yarn in its own yarn processing facilities. The Company believes that its significant investment in modern, state-of-the-art equipment has been an important factor in achieving and maintaining its leadership position in the marketplace. During the past five fiscal years, the Company has invested approximately $718 million in property additions (including acquisitions). The Company continually seeks opportunities for increasing its sales volume and market share. For example, the Company continues to expand its product lines of carpet manufactured from polypropylene fiber, including fibers produced by the Company's own extrusion equipment. The Company also has a manufacturing facility for the production of carpet tiles for the commercial market. The overall level of sales in the carpet industry is influenced by a number of factors, including consumer confidence and spending for durable goods, interest rates, turnover in housing, the condition of the residential construction industry and the overall strength of the economy. The marketing of carpet is influenced significantly by current trends in style and fashion, principally color trends. The Company believes it has been a leader in the development of color technology in the carpet industry and that its dyeing facilities are among the most modern and versatile in the industry. The Company maintains an in-house product development department to identify developing color and style trends which are expected to affect its customers' buying decisions. In 1994, this department was further strengthened by the completion of the Shaw Industries Research and Development Center. This 2 state-of-the-art complex includes a 75,000 square foot pilot plant featuring sample extrusion, yarn processing, tufting, dyeing, coating and shearing equipment, and three fiber and dye development laboratories. Sales and Distribution The Company's products are marketed domestically by approximately 950 salaried sales personnel in its various marketing divisions directly to retailers and distributors and to large national accounts through the Company's National Accounts Division. The Company's ten (10) regional warehouse facilities and seven (7) redistribution centers, along with its centralized management information system, enable it to provide prompt delivery of its products to both its retail customers and wholesale distributors. The Company's substantial investment in management information systems permits efficient production scheduling and control of inventory levels. The Company sells to approximately 42,000 retailers, distributors and national accounts located throughout the United States and Canada. Retailers and national accounts, on a combined basis, accounted for approximately 86% of the Company's carpet sales for 1994. Shaw also sells to approximately 100 wholesale distributors. Approximately 4% of the Company's carpet sales in 1994 were to distributors. Sales of Shaw products in foreign markets, including the sales of foreign subsidiaries, accounted for approximately 10% of total sales in 1994. No single customer accounted for more than 2% of the Company's sales during 1994. Competition The carpet industry is highly competitive with more than 200 companies engaged in the manufacture and sale of carpet in the United States. Carpet manufacturers also face competition from the hard surface floorcovering industry. The principal methods of competition within the carpet industry are quality, style, price and service. The Company believes its strategically located regional warehouse facilities and redistribution centers provide a competitive advantage by enabling it to supply carpet on a timely basis to customers. The Company's long-standing practice in investing in modern, state-of-the-art equipment contributes significantly to its ability to compete effectively on the basis of quality, style and price. Raw Materials The principal raw materials used by the Company are nylon fiber and filament, and synthetic backing; additional raw materials include polyester, polypropylene and wool fibers and filaments, jute, latex and dye. During 1994, the Company experienced no significant shortages of raw materials. 3 Employees At December 31, 1994, the Company had approximately 24,600 full-time employees. In the opinion of management, employee relations are good. Employees are involved in the Quality Improvement Process which began in 1985. This program was designed to improve the Company's products and services through education and training. None of the Company's employees in the United States are represented by unions. Employees of foreign subsidiaries are represented by unions. Environmental Matters Management believes the Company is currently in compliance in all material respects with applicable federal, state and local statutes and ordinances regulating the discharge of materials into the environment and otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. Management does not believe the Company will be required to expend any material amounts in order to remain in compliance with these laws and regulations or that compliance will materially affect its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. During 1994, the Company continued its commitment to the environment. The Company's Research and Design Center was opened successfully in 1994 and was the first commercial application of concrete produced using carpet by-products. In this recycling process, a portion of the conventional concrete substrate is replaced with shredded carpet remnants. Laboratory tests indicate that this product is equal to, and in some ways superior to, conventional concrete. Because of its commitment to finding new ways of using mill waste, the Company is aggressively pursuing a situation where all its waste products can be used in an environmentally friendly way. Future possibilities for use of the fiber reinforced concrete include road and bridge construction, military applications, building foundations, tile, brick and concrete blocks. Patents, Trademarks, etc. Patent protection has not been significant to the Company's business, although the Company does hold several patents covering machinery used in a specific carpet coloring process and has several patent applications pending. 4 Item 2.

Management of the Company believes all of its properties are generally well maintained, suitable and adequate for its current and anticipated future operations, and are substantially utilized. 7 Item 3. Legal Proceedings From time to time the Company is subject to claims and suits arising in the course of its business. In April 1993, the Company became a defendant in certain litigation alleging personal injury resulting from personal exposure to volatile organic compounds found in carpet produced by the Company. The complaints seek injunctive relief and unspecified money damage on all claims. The Company has denied any liability. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and that the litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In June 1994, the Company and several other carpet manufacturers received grand jury subpoenas from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice relating to an investigation of the industry. The Company believes that once this investigation is completed it will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. At the end of fiscal year 1994, there were no other pending legal proceedings to which the Company was a party or to which any of its property was subject which, in the opinion of management, were likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
