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 covered 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 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 position eliminations, benefit payments of
$2,161,000 were made in 1999 for 56 employees. In the year-to-date period ended
June 30, 2000, the Company paid $3,508,000 relating to the termination of an
additional 57 employees and continued termination benefits for 2 employees.
Further employee termination costs of $2,799,000 are accrued at June 30, 2000,
which reflects a $72,000 reduction in the original provision due to exchange
rate changes and a $54,000 reduction due to costs being lower than original
estimates. 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 included 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 year-to-date period ended June 30, 2000, the Company paid
$483,000 related to the termination of 18 employees. Remaining employee
termination costs of $189,000 have been accrued at June 30, 2000, which reflects
a $29,000 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 being lower than original estimates. In the
year-to-date period ended June 30, 2000, the Company paid $38,000 for facility
closure and other exit costs and reduced the original provision by $54,000 due
to costs being lower than original estimates and $86,000 due to changes in
exchange rates. The Company's remaining obligation for facility closure and
other exit costs as of June 30, 2000 is $740,000.

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), Tire Management Solutions, Inc., a pilot operation (TMS), and
Quality Design Systems, Inc. (QDS). The comparability of operating results
between years is affected by TDS acquisitions of tire dealerships in the current
and prior year.
Consolidated net sales for the quarter and the year-to-date periods ended June
30, 2000 were both 1% lower than the prior year periods, but included a 7% and
6% decrease in Traditional Business net sales, respectively. The decrease in
Traditional Business net sales resulted from a 7% and 6% decline in retread
material unit volume for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30,
2000, respectively. Net sales were also unfavorably affected by the lower
translated value of the Company's foreign-currency-denominated sales,
particularly the euro and Brazilian real. However, this negative translation
effect was offset by an April price increase in the U.S. along with an increase
in equipment sales. The Company continues to see a slowing in North American
retread sales which can be attributed to low new-truck demand which encourages
the movement of new tires into the replacement market and low-priced new tires
from overseas. The decline in Traditional Business sales volume is also due to
competitive pressures and industry consolidation in the United States, which is
expected to continue throughout 2000. The decline in Traditional Business sales
was offset by an 8% and 7% increase in TDS sales over the prior year quarter and
year-to-date period and a full six months of sales for TMS. The Company's
seasonal sales pattern, which is tied to trucking activity, was similar to the
second quarters in previous years in that it is seasonally stronger than the
first quarter for both sales and earnings. Both segments were similarly
affected.
A 14% increase in average raw material costs in the U.S. for the second quarter
was partially offset by an April price increase in the U.S. and improved margins
on equipment sales, leaving the Traditional Business and consolidated gross
profit margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 1.7 and 1.1 percentage points
lower than the prior year period, respectively. The consolidated and Traditional
Business gross profit margin for the year-to-date period both decreased .9
percentage points from the prior year periods reflecting the 9% increase in
average raw material costs in the U.S for the year. Given softer demand, the
Company anticipates that it will be more difficult to recover future increases
in raw material costs through further price increases.
Consolidated operating and other expenses for the quarter and year-to-date
periods ended June 30, 2000 decreased 6% and 3% from the prior year periods,
respectively. Traditional Business operating and other expenses
Page 10
BANDAG, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2000 decreased 14% and
11% from the prior year periods, respectively, benefiting from the prior year
restructurings in North America and Europe and cost control measures. This
decrease was offset by an 8% and 12% increase in TDS operating and other
expenses over the prior year quarter and year-to-date periods due in part to
acquisitions. Earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 were up 9% from the
prior year period and diluted earnings per share improved to $.85, up from
diluted earnings per share of $.73 in the prior year period. Earnings for the
year-to-date period ended June 30, 2000 were up 6% from the prior year period
and diluted earnings per share improved to $1.33, up from diluted earnings per
share of $1.19 in the prior year period. For the quarter and year-to-date
periods, the combined effect of a lower tax rate and a decrease in the diluted
shares outstanding added $.08 to diluted earnings per share for both periods.
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 and year-to-date
periods ended June 30, 2000 were 6% and 7% below the prior year periods,
respectively, primarily due to a 10% lower retread material unit volume for both
periods. The decrease in net sales was less than the shortfall in retread
material unit volume due to a price increase in April of 2000 in the U.S. and an
increase in equipment sales. The Company continues to see a softness in North
American sales trends due to competitive pressures and industry consolidation in
the United States. However, the Company is beginning to see an increased
stability in the North American distribution channel. An increase in average raw
material costs in the U.S. was partially offset by improved manufacturing
efficiencies and an April price increase in the U.S., resulting in a .6
percentage point decrease in North America's gross margin for the year-to-date
period. North American operating and other expenses for the quarter and
year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2000 were 27% and 17% lower than the prior
year periods due to lower professional, promotional, and personnel-related
costs. For the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2000, lower sales
were offset by reduced operating and other expenses, resulting in a slight
increase in earnings before income taxes over the prior year periods.
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 and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2000 declined 11% and
12% from the prior year periods, respectively. Retread material unit volume
decreased 3% from the prior year quarter but remained even with the prior
year-to-date period. The spread between the net sales decrease and the retread
material unit volume decrease is primarily due to the lower translated value of
the euro. Gross profit

margin for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2000 was up slightly over the
prior year period due to improved margins on equipment sales and service
revenue, but was 1.5 percentage points lower than the prior year quarter due to
higher material costs. Operating expenses for the quarter and year-to-date
periods ended June 30, 2000 decreased 25% and 22% from the prior year periods,
respectively, due to the lower translated value of the euro and lower
personnel-related costs. Principally as a result of lower operating expenses,
earnings before income taxes for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June
30, 2000 increased 10% and 18% over the prior year periods, respectively.
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 and year-to-date
periods ended June 30, 2000 increased 1% and 4% over the prior year periods,
respectively, as retread material unit volume remained even and increased 3%,
respectively. 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 for the year-to-date period was driven by higher
shipments in Brazil and Mexico. The gross profit margin for the quarter and
year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2000 both decreased approximately 2.4
percentage points from the prior year periods due to higher raw materials and
production costs. An increase in Brazil's marketing and professional costs was
partially offset by a lower translated value of Brazil operating expenses,
resulting in a 7% increase in Latin American operating expenses for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 over the prior year period. Primarily as a result of lower
gross margins, earnings before income taxes for the quarter and year-to-date
periods ended June 30, 2000 decreased 9% and 14% from the prior year periods,
respectively.
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 and year-to-date periods ended June 30,
2000 declined 37% and 23% from the prior year periods as a result of a 33% and
22% decrease in retread material unit volume, respectively, and reduced new tire
sales in New Zealand. Gross profit margin in Asia for the quarter ended June 30,
2000 increased 4.1 percentage points over the prior year period due to the lower
cost of imported retread materials in New Zealand and improved margins on new
tire sales in New Zealand. Operating expenses for the quarter and year-to-date
periods ended June 30, 2000 declined 25% and 22% from the prior year periods,
respectively, benefiting from prior year restructurings which reduced
personnel-related costs and managerial and administrative support costs in New
Zealand and Indonesia. Earnings before income taxes for the quarter ended June
30, 2000 decreased 20% from the prior year period due to the reduction in sales.

TDS net sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2000
increased 8% and 7% over the prior year periods, respectively. Excluding the
effect of acquisitions, TDS sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended
June 30, 2000 were 2% and 1% higher than the prior year periods, respectively.
TDS's operating expenses, excluding the effect of acquisitions, for the quarter
and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2000 were 3% and 7% higher than the
prior year periods, respectively, reflecting added resources for anticipated
business growth. During the first quarter, TDS management took steps to
rationalize current expense levels in order to bring those expenses more in line
with current operating needs. Earnings before income taxes for the quarter and
year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2000 increased 123% and 4% over the prior
year periods, respectively. The profit improvement can be attributed to TDS's
ability to utilize purchase discounts in the current year and management
initiatives to control expenses.
