SNAP-ON INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. This report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes included in Snap-on Incorporated's ("Snap-on")
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2001.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments and adjustments related to restructuring and other
non-recurring charges) necessary to a fair statement of financial condition
and results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2002, have
been made. Management also believes that the results of operations for the
thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year. Certain prior-year amounts have
been reclassified to conform with the current-year presentation.
2. On December 30, 2001, the beginning of Snap-on's 2002 fiscal year, Snap-on
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." This Statement is required to be
applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized by the
corporation as of December 30, 2001, and it changes the subsequent
accounting for these assets in the following significant respects:
Accounting standards in place prior to December 30, 2001, concluded that
goodwill and all other intangible assets were wasting assets and therefore
amounts assigned to these assets were amortized in determining net income.
SFAS No. 142 does not presume that these assets are wasting assets. The
provisions of this statement requires that i) goodwill no longer be
amortized, ii) negative goodwill be recorded as a cumulative effect of an
accounting change as of the beginning of the 2002 fiscal year, iii) other
intangible assets be evaluated to determine whether they have finite or
indefinite useful lives, and iv) goodwill be evaluated for impairment.
Intangible assets determined to have finite lives are amortized over those
estimated lives, and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives
are not amortized.
SFAS No. 142 sets forth a number of factors to be considered in
establishing the useful life of intangible assets. These factors include
product life cycles, market competition and other economic trends, as well
as the level of maintenance required to obtain future cash flows. The
useful lives of all intangible assets as of December 30, 2001, were
assessed using these criteria. In accordance with the adoption provisions
of SFAS No. 142, Snap-on has completed the transitional assessment of its
other intangible assets in evaluating and assigning a finite or indefinite
useful life status. Snap-on is evaluating its goodwill for potential
impairment and will conclude this evaluation during the second quarter of
2002.
As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, Snap-on recorded a cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle transition adjustment that
increased net income in the first quarter of 2002 by $2.8 million, on both
a pretax and after tax basis, for the recognition of unamortized negative
goodwill.

3. Snap-on announced in the second quarter of 2001 that it was taking
significant action to (i) reduce costs companywide to adjust to the slower
sales environment and (ii) improve operational performance in businesses
not earning acceptable financial returns. As a result of selective
rationalization and consolidation actions, Snap-on recorded $62.0 million
in pretax restructuring and other non-recurring charges in 2001 for actions
that include the consolidation or closure of 35 facilities, asset
write-downs and severance costs to effect a 6% reduction in workforce. The
$62.0 million charge includes restructuring charges of $40.3 million and
non-recurring charges of $21.7 million. The restructuring charge of $40.3
million includes $27.1 million for severance costs associated with the
planned elimination of 796 salaried and hourly positions, $6.0 million for
non-cancelable lease agreements, $5.9 million for facility asset
write-downs, and $1.3 million for exit-related legal and professional
services. The $21.7 million of other non-recurring charges includes $12.6
million for restructuring-related inventory write-downs and additional
inventory write-downs and warranty costs associated with Snap-on's exiting
of an unprofitable segment of the emissions-testing business, $8.4 million
for management transition costs associated with the appointment of Dale F.
Elliott as successor to the CEO position, and $.7 million for equipment and
employee relocation costs associated with the facility consolidations.
9
SNAP-ON INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Snap-on expects to incur an estimated $7 million to $8 million in
restructuring-related transition costs in the first half of 2002 for the
completion of its 2001 restructuring and other activities. Transition costs
do not qualify for restructuring accrual treatment and are therefore
expensed when incurred.
In the first quarter of 2002, Snap-on recorded transition charges of $3.4
million, consisting of $3.0 million for costs related to the 2002
resignation of Snap-on's former CFO and $.4 million for
restructuring-related transition costs for employee and equipment
relocation.
The composition of Snap-on's restructuring charge activity for the thirteen
weeks ended March 30, 2002, was as follows:
Restructuring Reserve Restructuring Reserve
As of December 29, 2001 Usage as of March 30, 2002
----------------------- ----- ---------------------
(Amounts in millions)
Severance costs $21.1 $ (7.4) $13.7
Facility consolidation
or closure costs 2.0 (.3) 1.7
----- ------ -----
Total restructuring reserves $23.1 $ (7.7) $15.4
===== ====== =====
The restructuring reserve usage for the thirteen weeks ended March 30,
2002, of $7.7 million represents $7.4 million for severance payments
related to the separation of 176 employees and $.3 million for facility
consolidation or closure costs. Of the $40.3 million of restructuring
reserves established in 2001, $24.9 million has been used to date,
consisting of $13.4 million for severance payments related to the
separation of 448 of the 796 identified employees, $5.6 million for
facility consolidation or closure costs related to 20 of the 35 facilities
identified, and $5.9 million for asset write-downs. Snap-on expects to fund
cash requirements of its 2001 restructuring activities with cash flows from
operations and borrowings under the company's existing credit facilities.
The specific restructuring measures and estimated costs were based on
management's best business judgment under prevailing circumstances. Snap-on
believes that the restructuring reserve balance of $15.4 million as of
March 30, 2002, is adequate to complete all announced activities and
anticipates that all actions will be completed by the end of 2002.
4. Snap-on accounts for its hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No.
138. These standards require that all derivative instruments be reported in
the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Changes in the fair
value of derivatives are to be recorded each period in earnings or
"Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)," depending on the type of
hedged transaction and whether the derivative is designated and effective
as part of a hedged transaction. Gains or losses on derivative instruments
reported in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" must be
reclassified as earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by
the underlying hedged item, and the ineffective portion of all hedges must
be recognized in earnings in the current period.
10
SNAP-ON INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Snap-on recorded a
transition adjustment on December 31, 2000, the beginning of Snap-on's 2001
fiscal year, to recognize its derivative instruments at fair value, and to
recognize the difference between the carrying values and fair values of
related hedged assets and liabilities upon adoption of these standards. The
cumulative effect of this transition adjustment was to decrease reported
net income in the first quarter of 2001 by $2.5 million after tax related
to a hedge strategy that did not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS
No. 133. Snap-on also recorded in the first quarter of 2001 a transition
adjustment of $1.2 million, after tax, in accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) to recognize previously deferred net gains on derivatives
designated as cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS
No. 133.
Snap-on uses derivative instruments to manage well-defined interest rate
and foreign currency exposures. Snap-on does not use derivative instruments
for speculative or trading purposes. The criteria used to determine if
hedge accounting treatment is appropriate are (i) the designation of the
hedge to an underlying exposure, (ii) whether or not overall risk is being
reduced, and (iii) if there is a correlation between the value of the
derivative instrument and the underlying obligation. On the date a
derivative contract is entered into, Snap-on designates the derivative as
either a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, a hedge of a net investment
in a foreign operation, or a natural hedging instrument whose change in
fair value is recognized as an economic hedge against changes in the values
of the hedged item.
Foreign Currency Derivative Instruments: Snap-on has operations in a number
of countries that have transactions outside their functional currencies
and, as a result, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
In addition, Snap-on hedges the anticipated repayment of intercompany loans
to foreign subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies. Snap-on manages
most of these exposures on a consolidated basis, which allows for netting
of certain exposures to take advantage of natural offsets. To the extent
the net exposures are hedged, forward exchange contracts are used. Gains
and/or losses on these foreign currency hedges are intended to offset
losses and/or gains on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce the
earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange
rates.
At March 30, 2002, Snap-on had net outstanding foreign exchange forward
contracts totaling $188.4 million comprised of buy contracts of $57.5
million in Swedish kronor and sell contracts of $109.2 million in euros,
$71.3 million in British pounds, $35.8 million in Canadian dollars, $7.1
million in Singapore dollars, $5.1 million in Danish kronor, $4.8 million
in Australian dollars and $12.6 million in other currencies. At December
29, 2001, Snap-on had net outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts
totaling $191.3 million comprised of buy contracts of $55.1 million in
Swedish kronor and sell contracts of $113.6 million in euros, $73.8 million
in British pounds, $31.2 million in Canadian dollars, $8.8 million in
Singapore dollars, $4.9 million in Danish kronor, $4.4 million in
Australian dollars and $9.7 million in other currencies.
11
SNAP-ON INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Snap-on's forward exchange contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting
treatment under SFAS No. 133 and are therefore excluded from the assessment
of effectiveness. The fair value changes of these contracts are reported in
earnings as foreign exchange gain or loss, which is included in "Other
income (expense) - net" on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Earnings. Those forward exchange contracts that qualify for hedge
accounting treatment are accounted for as cash flow hedges where the
effective portion of the changes in fair value of the derivative is
recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)." When the
hedged item is realized in income, the gain or loss included in
"Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" is reclassified to income
in the same financial statement caption as the hedged item. The ineffective
portion of changes in fair value of the cash flow hedges are reported in
earnings as foreign exchange gain or loss, which is included in "Other
income (expense) - net" and which were not material.
Non-Derivative Instruments Designated in Hedging Relationships: Snap-on
uses non-U.S. dollar financing transactions as net investment hedges of
long-term investments in the corresponding foreign currency. Hedges that
meet the effectiveness requirements are accounted for under net investment
hedging rules. The effective portion of the net investment hedge of a
foreign operation is recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss)" as a cumulative translation adjustment. When applicable, the
ineffective portion of the net investment hedge is recorded in earnings as
foreign exchange gain or loss, which is included in "Other income (expense)
- net" and which were not material. At March 30, 2002, net gains of $.1
million arising from effective hedges of net investments have been
reflected in the cumulative translation adjustment account as a component
of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)."
Interest Rate Swap Agreements: Snap-on enters into interest rate swap
agreements to manage interest costs and risks associated with changing
interest rates. Interest rate swap agreements are accounted for as either
cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. The differentials paid or received
on interest rate swap agreements are accrued and recognized as adjustments
to interest expense. For fair value hedges the effective portion of the
change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in "Long-term Debt"
while any ineffective portion is recorded as an adjustment to interest
expense. For cash flow hedges the effective portion of the change in fair
value of the derivative is recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss)," while any ineffective portion is recorded as an adjustment
to interest expense. The notional amount of interest rate swaps was $50.0
million at March 30, 2002 and $25.0 million at December 29, 2001.
For all derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, the
net accumulated derivative gain at March 30, 2002, was $2.1 million, after
tax, and is reflected in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)."
At March 30, 2002, the maximum maturity date of any cash flow hedge and
fair value hedge was approximately 36 months and 9.4 years, respectively.
During the next 12 months, Snap-on expects to reclassify into earnings net
gains from "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" of approximately
$.4 million after tax at the time the underlying hedged transactions are
realized.
During the first quarter ended March 30, 2002, cash flow hedge and fair
value hedge ineffectiveness was not material.
12
5. During the first quarter of 2002, Snap-on incurred acquisition costs of $.8
million for the full ownership of a business operation and the finalization
of a prior acquisition. Pro forma financial information has not been
presented, as the effects of these businesses, individually and in the
aggregate, were not material.
6. Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed by dividing net earnings
by the corresponding weighted-average common shares outstanding for the
period. The dilutive effect of the potential exercise of outstanding
options to purchase shares of common stock is calculated using the treasury
stock method.
7. On December 30, 2001, the beginning of the 2002 fiscal year, Snap-on
adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," which supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of." The statement provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets
to be disposed of. The effect of this change in accounting is not material
to Snap-on's financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses
financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets. The statement requires that the
fair value of a liability for an asset's retirement obligation be
recognized in the period in which it is incurred and capitalized as part of
the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The statement will be
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The effect of
this pronouncement will not be material to Snap-on's financial position or
results of operations.
8. Total comprehensive income for the thirteen week periods ended March 30,
2002, and March 31, 2001, was as follows:

9. Snap-on is involved in various legal matters that are being defended and
handled in the ordinary course of business, and Snap-on maintains accruals
for such costs that are expected to be incurred. Although it is not
possible to predict the outcome of these matters, management believes that
the results will not have a material impact on Snap-on's financial
statements.
During 2001, Snap-on entered into a binding arbitration process with SPX
Corporation related to infringement of patents. The arbitrator ruled in
favor of SPX and Snap-on paid damages of $44.0 million in January 2002 to
SPX.

10. Snap-on has two reportable segments: the Snap-on Dealer Group and the
Commercial and Industrial Group. These segments are based on the
organization structure used by management for making operating and
investment decisions and for assessing performance. The Snap-on Dealer
Group consists of Snap-on's business operations serving the worldwide
dealer van channel. The Commercial and Industrial Group consists of the
business operations serving the worldwide non-dealer tool and equipment
products businesses. These two segments derive revenues primarily from the
sale of tools and equipment.
Snap-on evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on
segment net sales and operating earnings. Snap-on defines operating
earnings for segment reporting purposes as Net Sales less Cost of Goods
Sold and Operating Expenses, excluding restructuring and non-recurring
charges. Snap-on accounts for intersegment sales and transfers based
primarily on standard costs established between the segments. Snap-on
allocates shared service expenses to those segments that utilize the
services based on their percentage of revenues from external sources.
Restructuring and other non-recurring charges are not allocated to the
reportable segments. Had it been Snap-on's policy to allocate restructuring
and other non-recurring charges to its reportable segments, such charges of
$3.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2002, would have been
allocated to the segments as follows: Snap-on Dealer Group - $1.6 million
and Commercial and Industrial Group - $1.8 million. There were no
restructuring and other non-recurring charges for the thirteen weeks ended
March 31, 2001.
Neither Snap-on nor any of its segments depends on any single customer,
small group of customers or government for more than 10% of its sales.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated
- ------------
Net sales were $510.0 million in the first quarter of 2002, a 3.3% decline from
the $527.4 million in the prior-year period. A 2% sales increase in the U.S.
dealer business was more than offset by continued soft demand for equipment and
a decline in sales of tools in the commercial and industrial sector. Currency
translation had a negative impact of 2% on 2002 consolidated sales.
Net earnings, before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle,
were $21.7 million or $.37 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2002, as
compared with $29.4 million or $.51 per diluted share in 2001. The
quarter-over-quarter decrease in earnings is primarily due to the decline in net
finance income, lower sales volumes and non-recurring transition costs,
partially offset by a reduction in operating expenses as a result of
cost-cutting savings and the elimination of goodwill and certain other
intangible amortization related to the fiscal-year 2002 adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets."
First quarter 2002 net earnings were $24.5 million or $.42 per diluted share,
compared with $26.9 million, or $.46 per diluted share in 2001. Snap-on's net
earnings for the first quarter of 2002 included a net gain of $2.8 million, or
$.05 per diluted share, for the cumulative effect of an accounting change
associated with Snap-on's adoption, on December 30, 2001, (the beginning of
Snap-on's fiscal 2002 year) of SFAS No. 142. Snap-on ceased amortizing goodwill
and certain other intangibles at the beginning of its 2002 fiscal year as
prescribed by this standard. Had SFAS No. 142 been in effect for the first
quarter of 2001, earnings from continuing operations would have been $0.56 per
diluted share. For more information on SFAS No. 142, refer to Note 2. In 2001,
Snap-on incurred a charge of $2.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the
cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." For more information on SFAS No. 133, refer
to Note 4.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2002 was $235.7 million, down 3.3% from
$243.7 million in the prior-year period. As a percentage of sales, gross profit
margin was 46.2% for both periods. The year-over-year savings from restructuring
actions initiated in 2001, particularly in Europe, benefits from cost controls
and continuous improvements in manufacturing operations were more than offset by
lower production utilization, as a result of inventory reduction initiatives and
the lower sales, and from having sourcing platforms principally in strong
currency countries.
16
SNAP-ON INCORPORATED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2002 were $197.9 million, or 38.8%
of sales, as compared to $202.5 million, or 38.4%, in the prior-year period. The
$4.6 million improvement in year-over-year operating expenses includes $3.7
million for the elimination of goodwill and certain other intangible
amortization, as well as savings from the fiscal 2001 restructuring actions,
reduced discretionary spending and other cost-cutting initiatives. These
operating expense improvements were partially offset by a $2.6 million non-cash
charge for the write-down of a receivable related to the closure of auto service
centers associated with a major retailer's bankruptcy. Operating expenses for
the first quarter of 2002 were also adversely impacted by higher year-over-year
pension costs and increased costs related to the "More Feet on the Street"
dealer expansion program, as well as the unfavorable leverage from lower sales.
Segment Results
- ---------------
Snap-on Dealer Group
In the worldwide Snap-on Dealer Group segment, net sales for the first quarter
of 2002 of $256.0 million were essentially flat with the $256.4 million reported
in the prior year. A 2% increase in U.S. sales, particularly from higher sales
of tools and tool storage, was offset by a decline in non-U.S. dealer
operations, principally from unfavorable currency translations. A net increase
of 61 dealers in the United States, primarily reflecting the increasing use of
second vans by franchised U.S. dealers, contributed to the sales increase. The
sale of big-ticket items through the U.S. tech rep organization has stabilized
compared with the prior year. In dollar terms, dealer operations outside the
United States declined 7%, principally from currency translation.
Segment earnings increased 7.4% to $30.0 million in the first quarter of 2002,
as compared to the prior-year period of $27.9 million. Segment earnings as a
percentage of net sales improved to 11.7%, up from 10.9% in the prior-year
period. Productivity savings and tight control on discretionary spending offset
higher costs associated with Snap-on's "More Feet on the Street" program.
Commercial and Industrial Group
In the Commercial and Industrial Group segment, net sales for the first quarter
decreased 6.3% over the prior-year period to $254.0 million, reflecting the weak
demand for big-ticket capital goods equipment and industrial tools and a
negative 3% impact from unfavorable currency translation. Sales of professional
tools in the European and U.S. industrial and commercial marketplace declined
5%, reflecting the continued softness in many industry sectors, such as
automotive, electronics and aerospace. The diagnostics and information business
increased 2%, primarily reflecting the continued growth in information-based
products, while equipment sales declined 16%.
17
SNAP-ON INCORPORATED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Segment earnings in the Commercial and Industrial Group were $7.8 million in the
first quarter of 2002, as compared to $13.3 million in the prior-year period.
Savings from restructuring actions, particularly in European operations, and the
discontinuance of goodwill amortization and certain other intangible assets,
were more than offset by the $2.6 million non-cash special charge for the
receivable write-off and from the unfavorable operating leverage related to
lower sales and inventory reduction, the effect of having manufacturing
operations based in strong currency countries, and continued high investment
spending on new product research and development activities.
Restructuring and Non-Recurring Charges
- ---------------------------------------
Snap-on announced in the second quarter of 2001 that it was taking significant
action to (i) reduce costs companywide to adjust to the slower sales environment
and (ii) improve operational performance in businesses not earning acceptable
financial returns. As a result of selective rationalization and consolidation
actions, Snap-on recorded $62.0 million in pretax restructuring and other
non-recurring charges in 2001 for actions that include the consolidation or
closure of 35 facilities, asset write-downs and severance costs to effect a 6%
reduction in workforce. The $62.0 million charge includes restructuring charges
of $40.3 million and non-recurring charges of $21.7 million. The restructuring
charge of $40.3 million includes $27.1 million for severance costs associated
with the planned elimination of 796 salaried and hourly positions, $6.0 million
for non-cancelable lease agreements, $5.9 million for facility asset
write-downs, and $1.3 million for exit-related legal and professional services.
The $21.7 million of other non-recurring charges includes $12.6 million for
restructuring-related inventory write-downs and additional inventory write-downs
and warranty costs associated with Snap-on's exiting of an unprofitable segment
of the emissions-testing business, $8.4 million for management transition costs
associated with the appointment of Dale F. Elliott as successor to the CEO
position, and $.7 million for equipment and employee relocation costs associated
with the facility consolidations.
Snap-on expects to incur an estimated $7 million to $8 million in
restructuring-related transition costs in the first half of 2002 for the
completion of its 2001 restructuring and other activities. Transition costs do
not qualify for restructuring accrual treatment and are therefore expensed when
incurred.
In the first quarter of 2002, Snap-on recorded transition charges of $3.4
million, consisting of $3.0 million for costs related to the 2002 resignation of
Snap-on's former CFO and $.4 million for restructuring-related transition costs
for employee and equipment relocation.
The composition of Snap-on's restructuring charge activity for the thirteen
weeks ended March 30, 2002, was as follows:
Restructuring Reserve Restructuring Reserve
As of December 29, 2001 Usage as of March 30, 2002

(Amounts in millions)
Severance costs $21.1 $(7.4) $13.7

----- ----- -----
Total restructuring reserves $23.1 $(7.7) $15.4
===== ===== =====
18
SNAP-ON INCORPORATED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
The restructuring reserve usage for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2002, of
$7.7 million represents $7.4 million for severance payments related to the
separation of 176 employees and $.3 million for facility consolidation or
closure costs. Of the $40.3 million of restructuring reserves established in
2001, $24.9 million has been used to date, consisting of $13.4 million for
severance payments related to the separation of 448 of the 796 identified
employees, $5.6 million for facility consolidation or closure costs related to
20 of the 35 facilities identified, and $5.9 million for asset write-downs.
Snap-on expects to fund cash requirements of its 2001 restructuring activities
with cash flows from operations and borrowings under the company's existing
credit facilities. The specific restructuring measures and estimated costs were
based on management's best business judgment under prevailing circumstances.
Snap-on believes that the restructuring reserve balance of $15.4 million as of
March 30, 2002, is adequate to complete all announced activities and anticipates
that all actions will be completed by the end of 2002.
Other
- -----
Net finance income was $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2002, down $4.8
million from $12.1 million in the prior-year period. Although credit
originations increased year over year, reflecting the growth in the U.S. dealer
business, the prior-year results benefited from a highly favorable interest-rate
environment.
Interest expense decreased $1.1 million to $7.8 million in the first quarter of
2002 from $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2001. The decline is due to lower
debt levels resulting from improved free cash flow during the past year and from
lower interest rates relative to a year ago.
Other income (expense)-net was an expense of $.1 million for the first quarter
compared to income of $1.9 million in the comparable 2001 period. This line item
includes the impact of all non-operating items such as interest income, license
fees, adjustment for minority interests, disposal of fixed assets, hedging and
exchange rate transaction gains and losses, and other miscellaneous
non-operating items.
Snap-on's effective income tax rate was 36.0% in the first quarter of 2002 and
36.5% in the first quarter of 2001.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash and cash equivalents were $5.4 million at the end of the first quarter,
down $1.3 million from $6.7 million at year-end 2001. Net cash provided by
operating activities was $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2002, compared
with $10.9 million in the prior year. The year-over-year decline in net cash
provided by operating activities is due to a $44.0 million payment ($39.0
million after tax) for the December 2001 resolution of an arbitration matter,
largely offset by improvements in working capital management. Working capital
was $621.2 million at the end of first quarter of 2002, an increase of $31.2
million from $590.0 million at year-end 2001, and a decrease of $39.5 million
from $660.7 million in the first quarter of 2001.
19
SNAP-ON INCORPORATED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
The total-debt-to-total-capital ratio at the end of the first quarter of 2002
was 38.3%, as compared to 39.6% in the prior-year period, and 38.0% at year-end
2001. Total short-term and long-term debt was $488.2 million at the end of the
first quarter of 2002, down $58.6 million from $546.8 million at the end of the
first quarter of 2001. Despite the $44.0 million payment in 2002 for the
resolution of the arbitration matter, total first-quarter debt was up only $13.6
million from year-end 2001. Total capital was $1,273.9 million, down $106.6
million from $1,380.5 million in the prior-year period, and up $23.5 million
from year-end 2001.
At March 30, 2002, Snap-on had $458 million of multi-currency revolving credit
facilities to support its commercial paper programs. In August 2001, Snap-on
issued $200 million of unsecured notes pursuant to a $300 million shelf
registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in
1994. In October 1995, Snap-on issued $100 million of unsecured notes to the
public under this shelf registration statement. The August 2001 notes require
semiannual interest payments at the rate of 6.25% and mature in their entirety
on August 15, 2011. The October 1995 notes require semiannual interest payments
at a rate of 6.625% and mature in their entirety on October 1, 2005. The
proceeds from these issuances were used to repay a portion of Snap-on's
outstanding commercial paper and for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
Accounts receivable at the end of the first quarter were $633.1 million, up
$17.9 million from $615.2 million at year-end 2001, due to a slight increase in
days outstanding in certain markets.
Inventories were seasonally up $11.6 million to $386.8 million at the end of the
first quarter from $375.2 million at the end of 2001, but down $43.5 million
from a year ago, reflecting progress in Snap-on's efforts to reduce inventory
and increase inventory turns.
Capital expenditures were $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2002, compared
with $10.3 million in the comparable prior-year period. Investments primarily
included ongoing replacements and upgrades of manufacturing and distribution
facilities and equipment, restructuring-related and new product-related capital
investments. For the full-year, Snap-on anticipates 2002 capital expenditures
will be in the range of $50 million to $55 million. Full year capital
expenditures were $53.6 million in 2001.
Snap-on believes that its sources of borrowings, coupled with cash from
operations, are sufficient to support its working capital requirements, finance
capital expenditures and restructuring activities, make acquisitions, repurchase
common stock and pay dividends.
Share repurchase: Snap-on has undertaken stock repurchases from time to time to
prevent dilution created by shares issued for employee and dealer stock purchase
plans, stock options, and other corporate purposes, as well as to repurchase
shares when market conditions are favorable. During the first quarter of 2002,
Snap-on repurchased 100,000 shares of common stock for $3.2 million under its
previously announced share repurchase programs. As of the end of the first
quarter of 2002, Snap-on has remaining availability to repurchase up to an
additional $138 million in common stock pursuant to the board's authorizations.
The purchase of Snap-on common stock is at the company's discretion, subject to
prevailing financial and market conditions. Since 1995, Snap-on has repurchased
10,089,583 shares for $311.5 million.
20
SNAP-ON INCORPORATED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Outlook: Snap-on remains cautious about the expected market recovery. Even so,
with savings from its cost-cutting initiatives, the company expects to realize
both sequential and year-over-year improvements in profitability in the second
quarter. Based on flat sales year over year, Snap-on expects to earn $.49 to
$.54 per share in the second quarter, while continuing to invest in its growth
initiatives for the longer term. Snap-on also expects to incur charges of
approximately $4 million for the remaining transition costs related to its
previously announced restructuring actions. For the balance of the year, Snap-on
expects to achieve its targeted $40 million in savings, with approximately
one-half of these savings to be reinvested to support increased development of
innovative new products and initiatives for profitable growth.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements and related notes contain information that
is pertinent to management's discussion and analysis. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
In December 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial
Reporting Release No. 60 ("FRR 60"), "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure
About Critical Accounting Policies," suggesting that companies provide
additional disclosure and commentary on those accounting policies considered
most critical in their Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations. The FRR 60 considers an accounting policy
to be critical if it is important to the company's financial condition and
results of operations and requires significant judgment and estimates on the
part of management in its application.
Snap-on believes that the following represent the critical accounting policies
of the company:
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Snap-on's bad debt reserve is an estimate that
is regularly evaluated by management for adequacy and is established through a
charge to operating expenses. The evaluations take into consideration various
financial and qualitative factors that may affect the customers' ability to pay.
These factors may include the customers' financial condition, collateral,
debt-servicing capacity, past payment experience and credit bureau information.
Snap-on regularly reviews the estimation process and adjusts the reserves as
appropriate. It is possible, however, that the accuracy of Snap-on's estimation
process could be adversely impacted if the financial condition of its customers
were to deteriorate.
21
SNAP-ON INCORPORATED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Inventory Reserves: Snap-on's inventories consist of manufactured products and
merchandise for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or market.
Manufactured products include the costs of materials, labor and manufacturing
overhead. Inventories accounted for using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method
approximated 65% and 63% of total inventory as of year-end 2001 and 2000. All
other inventories are generally determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
cost method. Snap-on values its inventory at the lower of cost or market, and
regularly reviews the book value of discontinued product lines and stock keeping
units (SKUs) to determine if these items are properly valued. If market value is
less than cost, the company establishes inventory reserves to write down the
related inventory to the lower of market or net realizable value. Snap-on
regularly evaluates the composition of its inventory to determine slow-moving
and obsolete inventories to determine if additional reserves are required.
Changes in consumer purchasing patterns, however, could result in the need for
additional reserves.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits: Snap-on has significant pension and
postretirement benefit liabilities and costs that are developed from actuarial
valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumption including discount
rates, expected return on plan assets and medical trend rates. Changes in these
assumptions are primarily influenced by factors outside of Snap-on's control and
can have a significant effect on the amounts reported in the financial
statements.
Commitments and Contingencies: Snap-on is subject to lawsuits and other claims
related to product and other matters that are being defended and handled in the
ordinary course of business. Snap-on maintains reserves for such costs that may
be incurred, which are determined on a case by case basis, taking into
consideration the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the
potential range of probable loss. The reserves are monitored on an ongoing basis
and are updated for new developments or new information as appropriate.
Valuation of long-lived assets: Snap-on periodically evaluates its long-lived
assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, for potential
impairment. If impairment exists, an impairment loss is recognized and the
carrying amount of the asset is adjusted to its new accounting basis. Judgments
regarding the existence of impairment are based on legal factors, market
conditions and operational performance. Future events could cause Snap-on to
conclude that impairment exists. Snap-on uses the discounted cash flows method
to determine if impairment exists. This requires management to make estimates
and assumptions regarding future income, working capital and discount rates,
which affect the impairment calculation.

Safe Harbor: Statements in this document that are not historical facts,
including statements (i) that include the words "expects," "targets,"
"believes," "anticipates," or "estimates" or similar words that reference
Snap-on or its management; (ii) specifically identified as forward-looking; or
(iii) describing Snap-on's or management's future outlook, plans, objectives or

make similar forward-looking statements from time to time orally or in writing.
Snap-on cautions the reader that these statements are subject to risks,
uncertainties or other factors that could cause (and in some cases have caused)
actual results to differ materially from those described in any such statement.
Some of those factors are discussed below, as well as elsewhere in this
document, and in Snap-on's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Those
important factors include the validity of the assumptions set forth above and
the timing and progress with which Snap-on can continue to achieve further cost
reductions and achieve savings from its restructuring initiatives; Snap-on's
ability to retain and attract dealers and to withstand external negative factors
including terrorist disruptions on business; consequences of a potential change
in public accounting firms; changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws
and regulations, or other activities of governments or their agencies; and the
absence of significant changes in the current competitive environment,
inflation, energy supply or pricing, legal proceedings, supplier disruptions,
currency fluctuations or the material worsening of credit markets, economic
conditions and political situations around the world. These factors may not
constitute all factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those discussed in any forward-looking statement. Snap-on operates in a
continually changing business environment and new factors emerge from time to
time. Snap-on cannot predict such factors nor can it assess the impact, if any,
of such factors on Snap-on's financial position or its results of operations.
Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a
prediction of actual results. Snap-on disclaims any responsibility to update any
forward-looking statement provided in this document.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market, Credit and Economic Risks
- ---------------------------------
Market risk is the potential economic loss that may result from adverse changes
in the fair value of financial instruments. Snap-on is exposed to market risk
from changes in both foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Snap-on
monitors its exposure to these risks and manages the underlying economic
exposures through the use of financial instruments such as forward exchange
contracts and interest rate swap agreements. Snap-on does not use derivative
instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Snap-on's broad-based business
activities help to reduce the impact that volatility in any particular area or
related areas may have on its operating earnings as a whole. Snap-on's
management takes an active role in the risk management process and has developed
policies and procedures that require specific administrative and business
functions to assist in the identification, assessment and control of various
risks.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT: Snap-on has significant international
operations. Foreign exchange risk exists to the extent that Snap-on has payment
obligations or receipts denominated in currencies other than the functional
currency. To manage these exposures, Snap-on identifies naturally offsetting
positions and then purchases hedging instruments to protect the residual net
anticipated exposures. For additional information, refer to Note 4.
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT: Snap-on's interest rate risk management policies
are designed to reduce the potential volatility of earnings that could arise
from changes in interest rates. Through the use of interest rate swaps, Snap-on
aims to stabilize funding costs by managing the exposure created by the
differing maturities and interest rate structures of Snap-on's assets and
liabilities. For additional information, refer to Note 4.
Snap-on utilizes a Value-at-Risk ("VAR") model to determine the potential
one-day loss in the fair value of its interest rate and foreign
exchange-sensitive financial instruments from adverse changes in market factors.
The VAR model estimates were made assuming normal market conditions and a 95%
confidence level. Snap-on's computations are based on the inter-relationships
among movements in various currencies and interest rates (variance/co-variance
technique). These inter-relationships were determined by observing interest rate
and foreign currency market changes over the preceding quarter.
The estimated maximum potential one-day loss in fair value, calculated using the
VAR model, at March 30, 2002, was $.6 million on interest rate-sensitive
financial instruments and $2.5 million on foreign currency-sensitive financial
instruments. The VAR model is a risk management tool and does not purport to
represent actual losses in fair value that will be incurred by Snap-on, nor does
it consider the potential effect of favorable changes in market factors.
24
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (continued)
CREDIT RISK: Credit risk is the possibility of loss from a customer's failure to
make payments according to contract terms. Prior to granting a loan, each
customer is evaluated, taking into consideration the borrower's financial
condition, collateral, debt-servicing capacity, past payment experience, credit
bureau information and numerous other financial and qualitative factors that may
affect the borrower's ability to repay. Specific credit reviews and standard
industry credit scoring models are used in performing this evaluation. Loans
that have been granted are typically monitored through an asset-quality-review
process that closely monitors past due accounts and initiates collection actions
when appropriate. In addition to credit risk exposure from its on-balance-sheet
receivables, Snap-on also has credit risk exposure for certain loan originations
with recourse provisions from the LLC. At March 30, 2002, $43.2 million of loans
originated by the LLC have a recourse provision to Snap-on if the receivables
become more than 90 days past due. In addition, there were $26.1 million of
dealers' customer-originated loans that have a primary recourse provision
directly to the dealer, with secondary recourse to Snap-on in the event of
dealer default.
ECONOMIC RISK: Economic risk is the possibility of loss resulting from economic
instability in certain areas of the world. Economic instability from time to
time may cause Snap-on to react to such market conditions. The economic
uncertainty in Argentina prompted Snap-on to resize its operations there in
2001, shifting a portion of its manufacturing to other existing Snap-on
facilities. The Bahco Argentina facility will continue to operate with about
one-half of its previous workforce, manufacturing product at a level to support
its local market. Snap-on will continue to assess Argentina's economic situation
to determine if any future actions or impairment write-downs are warranted.
As a result of the above market, credit and economic risks, net income and
revenues in any particular period may not be representative of full-year results
and may vary significantly from year to year and from quarter to quarter.
