Non-recurring Charges
During the fourth quarter 1999, the Company recorded non-recurring charges
totaling $13,500,000 ($7,671,000 net of tax benefits) for termination benefits.
These termination benefits cover the company-wide reduction of 175 employees
through a combination of voluntary early retirements, the closing of a North
American tread rubber manufacturing facility and other position eliminations.
The early retirement program announced in the fourth quarter of 1999 offered
unreduced retirement benefits to employees over the
Page 7
BANDAG, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
age of 55 and who have accumulated 65 points (points = age + years of service).
The early retirement program charges primarily represent a $4,906,000 increase
in the pension benefit obligation which resulted when 62 employees elected this
program. Of the total number of employees affected by postion eliminations,
benefit payments of $2,161,000 were made in 1999 for 56 employees. In the first
quarter of 2000, the Company paid $3,284,000 relating to the termination of an
additional 57 employees and continued termination benefits for two employees.
Further employee termination costs of $3,078,000 are accrued at March 31, 2000,
which reflects a $71,000 reduction in the original provision due to exchange
rate changes. The majority of these payments will be made in 2000. No charge
related to the manufacturing facility has been expensed as the Company expects
to use the facility in the future for general Corporate purposes.
During 1998, the Company recorded net non-recurring charges totaling $4,205,000
($1,174,000 net of tax benefits). The net non-recurring charges included a
provision of $7,502,000 ($4,471,000 net of tax benefits) for facility closures,
personnel reductions, and other exit costs. Additionally, the net non-recurring
charges include a gain of $3,297,000 consisting of the non-taxable recognition
of accumulated translation gains due to the exit of operations in Indonesia.
Included in the non-recurring charges is $4,845,000 related to personnel
reductions. In 1998, the Company paid $1,035,000 related to the termination of
13 employees. In 1999, the Company paid $2,950,000 related to the termination of
99 employees. In the first quarter of 2000, the Company paid $411,000 related to
the termination of 18 employees. Remaining employee termination costs of
$267,000 have been accrued at March 31, 2000, which reflects a $23,000 reduction
due to changes in exchange rates. Included in the non-recurring charge is
$2,657,000 for facility closure and other exit costs which contains $642,000 for
the write down of assets. In 1999, the Company paid $905,000 for facility
closure and other exit costs and reduced the original provision by $192,000 due
to costs lower than original estimates. In the first quarter of 2000, the
Company paid $9,000 for facility closure and other exit costs and reduced the
original provision by $35,000 due to costs lower than original estimates and
$36,000 due to changes in exchange rates. The Company's remaining obligation for
facility closure and other exit costs as of March 31, 2000 is $838,000.

TDS. The Traditional Business manufactures precured tread rubber, equipment and
supplies for retreading tires and operates on a worldwide basis. TDS operates
franchised retreading locations and commercial, retail, and wholesale outlets
throughout the United States for the sale and maintenance of new and retread
tires to principally commercial and industrial customers. Other includes results
of operations for the Tire Management Solutions Inc. (TMS) pilot program and
other corporate items.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based primarily on
profit or loss before interest and income taxes. Intersegment sales and

Item 2 -Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
General
- -------
Results include the Company's Traditional Business, Tire Distribution Systems,
Inc. (TDS), and Tire Management Solutions, Inc., a pilot operation (TMS). The
comparability of operating results between years is affected by TDS acquisitions
of a tire dealership in the prior year and the first quarter of 2000.
Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 remained even with
the prior year period but included a 6% decrease in Traditional Business net
sales. The decrease in Traditional Business net sales resulted from a 4% decline
in retread material unit volume and the lower translated value of the Company's
foreign-currency-denominated sales. The decline in Traditional Business sales
volume was primarily due to competitive pressures and industry consolidation in
the United States, which is expected to continue throughout 2000. The Company
anticipates that future sales volume may be negatively impacted by dealer
separations due to the competitive pressures within the market. However, the
Company has not received any notices of separations that would have a
significant impact on operating results. The decline in Traditional Business
sales was offset by a 6% increase in TDS sales over the prior year period and
sales for TMS. The Company's seasonal sales pattern, which is tied to trucking
activity, was similar to the first quarter in previous years in that it is
seasonally the slowest for both sales and earnings. Both segments were similarly
affected.
A 10% increase in average raw material costs in the U.S. was offset by improved
manufacturing efficiencies due to the closure of a domestic manufacturing
facility in fourth quarter 1999, leaving the Traditional Business gross profit
margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 even with the prior year period.
Consolidated gross profit margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 decreased
by .7 percentage points from the prior year period due to a higher portion of
consolidated sales coming from TDS and TMS, which operate at lower gross profit
margins.
Consolidated operating and other expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
decreased 1% from the prior year period. Operating and other expenses for the
Traditional Business decreased 9% from the prior year period benefiting from the
prior year restructurings in North America and Europe. This decrease was offset
by a 17% increase in TDS operating and other expenses over the prior year period
due in part to acquisitions. Earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
remained even with the prior year period but diluted earnings per share improved
to $.48, up from diluted earnings per share of $.46 in the prior year period.
The improvement in diluted earnings per share is wholly attributable to the
decrease in the average diluted shares outstanding from the prior year period.
Page 10
BANDAG, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
TRADITIONAL BUSINESS
The Company's Traditional Business operations located in the United States and
Canada are integrated and managed as one unit, which is referred to internally
as North America. Net sales in North America for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 were 7% below the prior year period primarily due to 7% lower retread
material unit volume. The North American sales decline was primarily due to
competitive pressures and industry consolidation in the United States, which is
expected to continue throughout 2000. An increase in average raw material costs
in the U.S. was offset by improved manufacturing efficiencies due to the closure
of a domestic manufacturing facility in the fourth quarter of 1999 yielding a
slight improvement in North America's gross margin. North American operating and
other expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were 7% lower than the prior
year period due to reduced R&D spending and lower marketing and
personnel-related costs. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, lower sales were
offset by reduced operating and other expenses to yield a slight increase in
earnings before income taxes over the prior year period. Tread rubber prices in
the U.S. and Canada were raised, effective April 1, 2000, to cover anticipated
cost increases for the remainder of the year.
The Company's operations located in Europe principally service markets in
European countries, but also export to certain other countries in the Middle
East and Northern and Central Africa. This collection of countries is under one
management group and is referred to internally as Europe. Net sales in Europe
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 declined 13% from the prior year period on
a retread material unit volume increase of 3%. The spread between the net sales
decrease and the retread material unit volume increase is due to the lower
translated value of the euro and lower equipment sales. Gross profit margin for
the quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased 2.3 percentage points over the prior
year period due to higher production volume and improved margins on service
revenue. Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 decreased 20%
from the prior year period due to the lower translated value of the euro and
lower personnel related and marketing program costs. Principally as a result of
lower operating expenses, earnings before income taxes for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 increased 27% over the prior year period.
The Company's exports from North America to markets in the Caribbean, Central
America and South America, along with operations in Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela
and South Africa are combined under one management group referred to internally
as Latin America. Net sales in Latin America for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 increased 7% over the prior year period on a retread material unit volume
increase of 5%. The increase in net sales was greater than the increase in
retread material unit volume due to a price increase in Brazil which was
partially offset by the lower translated value of the Brazilian real. The
increase in retread material unit volume was driven by higher shipments in
Brazil, Mexico and South Africa. The gross profit margin for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 decreased by 2.4 percentage points from the prior year period due
to increased lower margin equipment
Page 11
BANDAG, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
sales in Brazil and higher production costs coupled with lower tread production
in South Africa. Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
decreased 11% from the prior year period. A lower translated value of Brazil
operating expenses and lower bad debts in Mexico were partially offset by an
increase in promotional and marketing program costs and higher bad debts in
South Africa. Primarily as a result of the lower gross margin and higher foreign
exchange transaction costs, earnings before income taxes for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 decreased 20% from the prior year period.
The Company's exports from North America to markets in Asian countries, along
with operations in New Zealand, Indonesia and Malaysia and a licensee in
Australia, are combined under one management group referred to internally as
Asia. Net sales in Asia for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 declined 10% from
the prior year period as a result of a 12% decrease in retread material unit
volume and reduced new tire sales in New Zealand, offset slightly by higher
equipment sales in Malaysia. Gross profit margin in Asia for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 increased 8.4 percentage points over the prior year period due to
the lower cost of imported retread materials in New Zealand, lower cost on
export sales to Asia, and higher margins on equipment sales in Malaysia.
Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 declined 18% from the
prior year period, benefiting from prior year restructurings which reduced
personnel-related costs and managerial and administrative support costs in New
Zealand. Earnings before income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
showed significant improvement over the prior year period principally due to
higher gross margins and lower operating expenses.
TIRE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS, INC.
Net sales for TDS for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased 6% over
the prior year period. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, TDS sales for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 remained approximately even with the prior year
period, $85,008,000 compared to $84,613,000, respectively. TDS's operating
expenses, excluding the effect of acquisitions, for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2000 were 12% over the prior year period reflecting added resources
for anticipated business growth. During the current quarter, TDS management took
steps to rationalize current expense levels in order to bring those expenses
more in line with current operating needs. The decrease in earnings before
interest and taxes from the prior year period reflect these higher expense
levels.
Financial Condition:
- -------------------
Operating Activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
was $5,964,000 less than the amount for the same period last year, primarily due
to decreases in deferred taxes and noncurrent assets offset
Page 12
BANDAG, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
by an increase in inventory and other working capital items.
Investing Activities.
The Company spent $5,859,000 on capital expenditures through March 31, 2000,
compared to $9,908,000 spent for the same period last year. The Company
typically funds its capital expenditures from operating cash flow. The Company
spent $1,613,000 on a tire dealership acquisition in the first quarter ended
March 31, 2000, compared to $1,698,000 spent for the same period last year.
The Company's excess funds are invested in financial instruments with various
maturities, but only instruments with an original maturity date of over 90 days
are classified as investments for balance sheet purposes. The Company's
purchases of investments exceeded maturities by $1,409,000 during the three
months, bringing total investments to approximately $10,870,000 as of March 31,
2000.
Financing Activities.
Cash dividends totaled $6,127,000 for the first quarter, compared to $6,245,000
for the same period last year. The Company purchased 2,170 shares of its
outstanding Common and Class A Common stock, at prevailing market prices, for
$50,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2000. Cash dividends and stock
purchases were funded from operational cash flows.
As of March 31, 2000, the Company had $106,000,000 in funds available under
unused lines of credit.
