BUSINESS GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS. The Company was incorporated in 1901 as the successor to a partnership formed in 1883 at Carthage, Missouri. That partnership was a pioneer in the manufacture and sale of steel coil bedsprings. Products produced and sold for the furnishings industry constitute the largest portion of the Company's business. These include primarily components used by companies making furniture and bedding for homes, offices and institutions. Also in the furnishings area, the Company produces and sells some finished furniture and carpet cushioning materials. In addition, a group of diversified products is produced and sold. The Company believes it is the largest producer of a diverse range of furniture and bedding components in the United States. The term "Company," unless the context requires otherwise, refers to Leggett & Platt, Incorporated and its majority owned subsidiaries. The Company completed several acquisitions during 1993, primarily businesses engaged in manufacturing components for the furnishings industry and raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its products. In September 1993 the Company acquired Hanes Holding Company ("Hanes"), headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Hanes is a converter and distributor of woven and nonwoven construction fabrics, primarily in the furnishings industry. Hanes also is a commission dye/finisher of nonfashion fabrics for the furnishings and apparel industries. Immediately following the Company's acquisition of Hanes, the Company (through Hanes) completed the acquisition of VWR Textiles & Supplies, Inc., which converts and distributes woven and nonwoven construction fabrics and manufactures other soft goods components for sale to manufacturers of furniture and bedding. Also, in September 1993 the Company acquired full ownership of several wire drawing mills which had been previously jointly owned. For further information concerning acquisitions reference is made to Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. PRODUCTS AND MARKET. The Company is engaged primarily in the manufacture and distribution of components used by companies that manufacture furniture and bedding for homes, offices and institutions. Manufacturers of finished furniture and bedding use many component parts which can be standardized and more efficiently produced in volumes beyond the individual needs of most such manufacturers. It is this market for component parts which the Company serves through its furniture and bedding component product lines. The Company's components customers manufacture bedding (mattresses and boxsprings), upholstered furniture and other finished products for sale to wholesalers, retailers, institutions and others. Historically, the furnishings industry has been highly fragmented and included many relatively small companies, widely dispersed geographically. Although there has been a trend toward consolidation in the furnishings industry, the industry as a whole remains fragmented to a substantial degree. The Company's component products are sold and distributed primarily through the Company's sales personnel. In addition to components, the Company manufactures and sells finished products for the furnishings industry. These finished products include sleep-related finished furniture and carpet cushioning materials. Some of the finished furniture products are sold to bedding and furniture manufacturers which resell the finished furniture under their own labels to wholesalers or retailers. Certain finished furniture such as bed frames, fashion beds, daybeds and other select items are also sold by the Company directly to retailers. The Company's carpet cushioning materials are sold primarily to floor covering distributors with some direct contract sales. 1 The following list is representative of the principal products produced by the Company in the furnishings industry: BEDDING COMPONENTS Lectro-LOK-R-, Web-LOK-TM-, LOK-Fast-TM-, Flex-Deck-TM-, and Semiflex-TM- boxspring components Edge and corner stabilizer spring supports Foam and fiber cushioning materials Gribetz computerized single needle (Class V) and multi-needle chain stitch (Class I-IV) quilting machinery, material handling systems, panel cutters, tape edge and border serging machines Hanes construction fabrics Mira-Coil-R-, Super-Lastic-R-, Lura-Flex-TM-, Hinge Flex-TM-, and Ever-Flex-TM- innerspring assemblies for mattresses Mounted and crated boxsprings and foundation units Nova-Bond-R- and other insulator pads for mattresses and boxsprings Perm-A-Lator-R-, Plasteel-R-, Posturizer-TM-, Flexnet-TM- and other mattress insulators Spring and basic wire Synthetic, wool, cotton, and silk cushioning materials Wood frames and dimension lumber for boxspring frames FINISHED PRODUCTS Bed frames Bunk beds made of wood and steel Daybeds made of brass and wood Electric beds Genuine Brass, Lustre Brass-R- and other metal fashion beds and headboards Pedestal bed bases DURAPLUSH-TM-, Permaloom-R- and other carpet cushioning materials Rollaway beds Trundle beds Wood headboards FURNITURE COMPONENTS Chair controls, casters and other components for office furniture ClassicTouch-TM- and Modular Wallhugger-R- mechanisms for motion upholstered groups Coil-Flex-TM- and ModuCoil-R- spring assemblies for upholstered furniture Components for office panel systems Die cast aluminum, fabricated steel, and injection molded plastic bases for office furniture and dinettes Flex-Cord-R- paper covered wire Hanes construction fabrics Mechanisms for adjustable height work tables MPI/No-Sag-R- and other foam cushioning No-Sag-R- seating systems and clips Metal bed rails for bedroom suites Molded plastic recliner handles and other plastic furniture components No-Sag-R- rocker springs Perm-A-Lator-R- wire seating insulators Perma-eze-R- seat and back springs PETCO weltcord and furniture edgings Ring-Flex-R- polyethylene foam edgings SOFA PLUS-TM-, MAX-R-, and Classic-TM- Series sofa sleeper mechanisms Spring wire Swivel, rocker and glider components for motion furniture Synthetic fiber, densified fiber batting, seat pads and other cushioning materials System Seating-TM-, Seat Pleaser-R- and other furniture coils and accessories Tackit-TM- tackstrips Wallhugger-R- and Concept-TM- mechanisms for reclining chairs Webline-TM- seating systems Welded steel tubing Outside the furnishings industry, the Company produces and sells for home, industrial and commercial uses a diversified line of components and other products made principally from steel, steel wire, aluminum, plastics, textile fibers and woven and nonwoven fabrics. The Company's diversified products require manufacturing technologies similar to those used in making furniture and bedding components and certain raw materials which the Company produces for its own use. 2 The following list is representative of the Company's principal diversified products: DIVERSIFIED PRODUCTS Aluminum die cast custom products and aluminum ingot Cyclo-Index-R- motion controls for manufacturing equipment Flex-O-Lators-R- and No-Sag-R- automotive seat suspension systems Gribetz single needle quilters, multi-needle chain stitch quilters, and panel cutters Hanes industrial and apparel fabrics Industrial wire Injection molded plastic products Mechanical springs Metal and wire shelving for utility vehicles and consumer products Point-of-purchase display racks Sound insulation materials Specialty foam products Textile fiber wiping cloths and other products Welded steel tubing The table below sets out further information concerning sales of each class of the Company's products: LEGGETT & PLATT, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES SUMMARY OF SALES 1993-1988 1993 1992 1991 1990 1989 1988 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS) AMOUNT Furnishings Products Bedding Components.............. $ 471.1 $ 409.8 $ 364.9 $ 358.4 $ 323.4 $ 257.3 Furniture Components............ 405.4 345.5 326.9 357.6 332.7 256.5 Finished Products............... 271.3 258.8 250.9 244.4 198.7 152.3 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- Total Furnishings Products.......... 1,147.8 1,014.1 942.7 960.4 854.8 666.1 Diversified Products.............. 378.9 300.9 278.7 270.9 262.6 193.2 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- Net Sales..................... $ 1,526.7 $ 1,315.0 $ 1,221.4 $ 1,231.3 $ 1,117.4 $ 859.3 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- PERCENT OF TOTAL Furnishings Products Bedding Components.............. 30.9% 31.1% 29.9% 29.1% 28.9% 29.9% Furniture Components............ 26.5 26.3 26.8 29.0 29.8 29.9 Finished Products............... 17.8 19.7 20.5 19.9 17.8 17.7 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- Total Furnishings Products.......... 75.2 77.1 77.2 78.0 76.5 77.5 Diversified Products.............. 24.8 22.9 22.8 22.0 23.5 22.5 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- Net Sales..................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- <FN> - ------------------------ Previously reported amounts have been restated to reflect pooling of interests acquisitions. Reference is also made to Note I of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further segment information. The Company's international division is involved primarily in the sale of machinery and equipment designed to manufacture the Company's Mira-Coil-R- (Continuous Coil) innersprings and certain other spring products and the licensing of patents owned and presently maintained by the Company in a number of foreign countries. The Company also sells quilting machines and similar equipment and certain other component products in some foreign countries. Foreign sales are a minor portion of the Company's business. 3 CUSTOMERS. The Company has several thousand customers, most of which are engaged in manufacturing finished bedding and furniture products. None of the Company's customers account for as much as 10% of sales and, in management's opinion, the loss of any single customer would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business as a whole. SOURCES OF RAW MATERIALS. Steel rod (from which steel wire is drawn) and coil steel are the Company's most important raw materials. Other raw materials used by the Company include aluminum ingot, aluminum scrap, angle steel, sheet steel, various woods, textile scrap, foam chemicals, foam scrap, woven and nonwoven fabrics and plastic. Substantially all of the Company's requirements for steel wire, an important component in many of the Company's products, are supplied by Company-owned wire drawing mills. A substantial portion of the steel rod used by these wire drawing mills is purchased pursuant to a rod supply agreement with a major steel rod producer. The Company also produces, at various locations, for its own consumption and for sale to customers not affiliated with the Company, slit coil steel, welded steel tubing, textile fibers, dimension lumber and aluminum ingot. Numerous supply sources for the raw materials used by the Company are available. The Company did not experience any significant shortages of raw materials during the past year. PATENTS: RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. The Company holds numerous patents concerning its various product lines. No single patent or group of patents is material to the Company's business as a whole. The Company's more significant trademarks include those listed with the Company's principal products. The Company maintains research, engineering and testing centers at Carthage, Missouri, and also does research and development work at several of its other facilities. The Company is unable to precisely calculate the cost of research and development since the personnel involved in product and machinery development also spend portions of their time in other areas. However, the Company believes that the cost of research and development approximated $5 million in each of the last three years. EMPLOYEES. The Company has approximately 13,000 employees of whom approximately 10,000 are engaged in production. Approximately 40% of the Company's production employees are represented by labor unions. The Company did not experience any material work stoppage related to the negotiation of contracts with labor unions during 1993. Management is not aware of any circumstance which is likely to result in a material work stoppage related to the negotiations of any contracts expiring during 1994. COMPETITION. The markets for components and other products the Company produces are highly competitive in all aspects. There are numerous companies offering products which compete with those products offered by the Company. The Company believes it is the largest supplier in the United States of a diverse range of furniture and bedding components to the furnishings industry. GOVERNMENT REGULATION. The Company's various operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to the protection of the environment, worker safety, and other matters. Environmental regulations include those relating to air and water emissions, underground storage tanks, waste handling, and the like. While the Company cannot forecast policies that may be adopted by various regulatory agencies, management believes that compliance with these various laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company. From time to time, the Company is involved in proceedings, or takes remedial or other actions, relating to environmental matters. In one instance, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has directed one of the Company's subsidiaries to investigate potential releases into the environment and, if necessary, to perform corrective action. The subsidiary appealed the EPA's action. On February 4, 1994, the EPA Environmental Appeals Board 4 remanded the matter to the EPA for further proceedings. One-half of any costs associated with any such investigation or corrective action would be reimbursed to the Company under a contractual obligation of a former joint owner of the subsidiary. The outcome of this matter cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, no provision for the cost of performing any required investigation and corrective action has been recorded on the books of the Company. Management believes the cost to perform any investigation and corrective action, if eventually required, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company owns or leases approximately 150 facilities throughout the United States and Canada. Its corporate headquarters is located in Carthage, Missouri. The Company's most important physical properties are its owned or leased manufacturing plants. Such plants include five wire drawing mills in Missouri, Florida, Kentucky, Indiana and Massachusetts; welded steel tubing mills in Mississippi and Tennessee; and an aluminum smelting plant in Alabama. All of these mills manufacture some products which are either transferred to and used by the Company's other manufacturing plants, or are sold to others. Other major manufacturing plants are located in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, and Canada. In addition, the Company owns or leases a large number of other facilities located in approximately 30 states utilized mainly for assembly, warehousing and distribution of Company products. Most of the Company's major manufacturing plants are owned by the Company or are held under operating leases. Leases expire at various dates through 2010. For additional information regarding lease obligations, reference is made to Note E of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's machinery, equipment and buildings are maintained in good condition and are suitable for its current operations. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is a defendant in numerous ordinary, routine workers' compensation, product liability, vehicle accident, employment termination, and other claims and legal proceedings, the resolution of which Management believes will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The Company is presently party to a small number of proceedings in which a governmental authority is a party and which involve provisions enacted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment. These proceedings deal primarily with waste disposal site remediation. Management believes that potential monetary sanctions, if imposed in any or all of these proceedings, or any capital expenditures or operating expenses attributable to these proceedings, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The EPA has alleged that two of the Company's facilities in Grafton, Wisconsin violated wastewater pretreatment requirements under the Clean Water Act. No action is pending. The EPA has not requested any specific relief, but has indicated it intends to bring an action. Management believes the cost to resolve this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company. ITEM 4.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's previously issued financial statements have been restated to reflect pooling of interests acquisitions. Therefore, the following discussion and analysis reflects the Company's capital resources and liquidity and results of operations as restated for these acquisitions. 6 CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY The Company's financial position reflects several important principles and guidelines of management's capital policy. These include management's belief that corporate liquidity must always be adequate to support the Company's projected internal growth rate. At the same time, liquidity must assure management that the Company will be able to withstand any amount of financial adversity that can reasonably be anticipated. Management also intends to direct capital to strategic acquisitions and other investments that provide additional opportunities for expansion and enhanced profitability. Financial planning to meet these needs reflects management's belief that the Company should never be forced to expand its capital resources, whether debt or equity, at a time not of its choosing. Management also believes that financial flexibility is more important than maximization of earnings through excessive leverage. The Company's primary source of capital to meet these objectives is from internally generated funds. Operating activities provided $349.1 million in cash during the last three years. An additional $3.5 million in cash was generated from the issuance of the Company's common stock. Cash dividends paid on the stock were $57.2 million and repurchases of stock for the Company's treasury totaled $3.2 million during the three year period. Management continuously provides for available credit in excess of the Company's worst-case projections. Policy guidelines provide that long-term debt, composed of two "layers", will normally be maintained in a range of 30% to 40% of total capitalization. Obligations having scheduled maturities are the base "layer" of debt capital. At the end of 1993, these obligations totaled $122.3 million, consisting primarily of privately placed institutional loans and tax-exempt industrial development bonds. At the end of 1992, debt with scheduled maturities totaled $112.5 million, which was down from $135.4 million a year earlier. Near the end of the third quarter of 1993, the Company issued $50 million in unsecured privately placed debt under a medium-term note program. These notes were issued with average lives of approximately nine years and fixed interest rates averaging 5.8%. Debt of a company acquired in a September pooling of interests transaction was repaid with the majority of the proceeds from these notes. In 1992, the Company also issued approximately $26 million of medium-term notes near the beginning of the fourth quarter. These notes were issued with average lives of approximately five years and fixed interest rates averaging 6.15%. Proceeds from the notes issued in 1992 were used to repay debt outstanding under the Company's revolving bank credit agreements. Standard & Poor's and Moody's, the nations two leading debt rating agencies, both increased their ratings of the Company's senior debt in July 1992. Standard & Poor's increased its rating to A- from BBB+, and Moody's increased its rating to A3 from Baa1. In March 1992, substantially all of the $40 million of 6 1/2% convertible subordinated debentures, which had been outstanding at the end of 1991, were converted into 2.1 million shares of the Company's common stock. The resulting increase in shareholders' equity enhanced the Company's flexibility in capital management and increased yearly after-tax cash flow by approximately $.7 million. The Company's second "layer" of debt capital consists of revolving credit agreements with six banks. Over the years, management has renegotiated these bank credit agreements to keep pace with the Company's projected growth and to maintain a highly flexible source of debt capital. When utilized, the credit under these agreements is a long-term obligation. At the same time, however, the credit is available for short-term borrowings and repayments. In 1993, there was $43.5 million in revolving debt outstanding at the end of the year, up from $35.4 million in 1992. At the end of 1991, $97.3 million in revolving debt was outstanding. The 1993 increase in revolving debt reflected a portion of funds borrowed to finance cash acquisitions in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter of 1993 and prior to recent acquisitions, revolving bank debt was reduced with internally generated funds. Additional details of long-term debt outstanding, including scheduled maturities and the revolving credit, are discussed in Note D of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 7 Net capital investments to modernize and expand manufacturing capacity internally totaled $109.0 million in the last three years. During this period, acquisitions accounted for by the purchase method of accounting involved a net cash investment of $93.3 million, plus an assumption of $5.7 million in long-term debt of the acquired businesses. In addition, the Company issued 1.8 million shares of common stock in three acquisitions accounted for as poolings of interests during this period. The largest acquisitions were completed during the third quarter of 1993. On September 1, the Company acquired Hanes Holding Company for 1.6 million shares of common stock, in a pooling of interests, and purchased VWR Textiles & Supplies, Inc. (through Hanes) for $26 million in cash. The Company also purchased full ownership of several wire drawing mills, which previously had been jointly owned. This transaction involved $33 million, plus the assumption of $3.6 million in long-term debt. Additional details of acquisitions are discussed in Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table shows, in millions, the Company's capitalization at the end of the three most recent years. It also shows the amount of additional capital available through the revolving bank credit agreements and the Company's commercial paper program. The amount of cash and cash equivalents is also shown. 1993 1992 1991 --------- --------- --------- Long-term debt outstanding: Scheduled maturities.......................................... $ 122.3 $ 112.5 $ 135.4 Revolving credit.............................................. 43.5 35.4 97.3 --------- --------- --------- Total long-term debt........................................ 165.8 147.9 232.7 Shareholders' equity............................................ 515.6 441.6 346.3 Unused committed credit......................................... 116.5 139.6 77.7 Cash and cash equivalents....................................... .4 5.2 12.6 The Company has the additional availability of short-term uncommitted credit from several banks. However, there was no short-term debt outstanding at the end of any of the last three years. The Company has substantial capital resources to support additional capital investments at or above recent levels. Working capital increased $32.5 million in the last three years. To gain additional flexibility in capital management and to improve the rate of return on shareholders' equity, the Company continuously seeks efficient use of working capital. The following table shows the annual turnover on average year-end working capital, trade receivables and inventories. 1993 1992 1991 ---------- ---------- ---------- Working capital turnover (excluding cash and cash equivalents)...... 6.1x 5.8x 5.4x Trade receivables turnover.......................................... 8.3 8.3 8.2 Inventory turnover.................................................. 5.7 5.4 5.0 Future commitments under lease obligations are described in Note E and contingent obligations in connection with environmental matters are discussed in Note J of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The results of operations during the last three years reflect various elements of the Company's long-term growth strategy, along with general trends in the economy and the furnishings industry. The Company's growth strategy continues to include both internal programs and acquisitions, which broaden product lines and provide for increased market penetration and operating efficiencies. With a continuing emphasis on the development of new and improved products and advancements in production technology, the Company is able to consistently offer high quality products, competitively priced. 8 Trends in the general economy were favorable during the last two years. Economic growth increased in the fourth quarter of 1993, following more modest growth during most of the year. Consumer confidence also improved near the end of the year, and final demand for durable goods, including furniture and bedding, generally remained stronger than the demand for non-durable goods. Consumers reacted favorably to lower long-term interest rates and increased availability of credit. In 1992, a post-election recovery in consumer confidence quickly led to increased consumer spending and accelerated growth in the economy. However, compared with previous first year recoveries from recessionary lows, economic improvement was modest during most of 1992. During 1991, the economy began to recover from recessionary lows early in the year, when the war in the Middle East ended and consumer confidence temporarily improved. Consumer confidence soon turned back down and the pace of overall business remained depressed at the end of 1991. Demand in the furnishings industry followed a pattern similar to the general economy during the last three years. Annual growth in retail sales and manufacturers' shipments of bedding and furniture was somewhat stronger in 1993 than in 1992. Increased consumer spending near the end of the last two years helped offset some of the seasonal slowdown in demand for bedding, furniture and other furnishings the industry normally experiences. In 1991, industry sales and shipments reached recessionary lows in the first quarter, and recovered slowly during the remainder of the year. Management is anticipating further modest growth in the economy and the markets the Company serves in 1994. Severe winter weather and the California earthquake have impacted overall business activity at the beginning of the year, in several parts of the country. However, these are temporary adversities. Management is cautious in its outlook for business generally, primarily because of concerns about higher income tax rates, proposals for governmental health care programs, and inflationary trends. Inflation in the United States generally remained modest during the last three years. However, the Company experienced renewed inflation in prices for raw materials, principally steel and wire, throughout 1993. Modest price increases were implemented on some Company products during the second and third quarters of 1993 to help offset earlier cost increases and the renewed inflation in prices for raw materials. However, some of this inflation has not yet been reflected in the Company's selling prices. Therefore, the Company is continuing to experience cost/price pressures in affected product lines. In 1992, the Company was able to refrain from raising prices, as previously weaker economic conditions had reduced inflation for most raw materials. During 1991, the Company implemented modest price increases on some products in the second quarter. Prices for urethane foam products were raised more than others, in response to the 1990 acceleration in prices for petrochemicals. The Company's consolidated net sales in 1991 were modestly reduced after the mid-year divestiture of certain urethane foam operations. At the same time, the Company's profitability improved through the partial elimination of the operating losses these operations experienced in 1990. The operating results of the Company's restructured Fashion Bed Group, which manufactures sleep-related finished furniture, also began to improve near the end of 1992. In 1993, the Company's overall profitability reflected improved efficiencies in the remaining foam operations. The Fashion Bed Group also attained improved efficiencies in 1993, but continues to perform below management's expectations. The Company's consolidated net sales in 1993 increased 16% over the prior year. Excluding acquisitions accounted for as purchases, sales increased 10%, reflecting higher unit volumes and modestly higher prices on some products. In 1992, consolidated net sales increased 8% over 1991, due almost entirely to higher unit volumes. Sales, excluding purchase acquisitions and divestitures, also increased 8% in 1992. 9 The following table shows various measures of earnings as a percentage of sales for the last three years. It also shows the effective income tax rate and the coverage of interest expense by pre-tax earnings plus interest. 1993 1992 1991 ----------- ----------- ----------- Gross profit margin............................................... 22.9% 22.8% 21.4% Pre-tax profit margin............................................. 9.2 8.1 5.4 Net profit margin................................................. 5.6 5.0 3.3 Effective income tax rate......................................... 39.1 38.5 39.4 Interest coverage ratio........................................... 14.8x 8.9x 4.3x The Company's profit margins, like sales, continued to improve since 1991. In 1993, the gross profit margin was substantially unchanged from 1992. Operating efficiencies resulting from increased sales and production, cost cutting, and constant attention to cost containment were largely offset by inflation in prices for some key raw materials. Reflecting this inflation, LIFO expense reduced the gross profit margin by 0.2% in 1993. This experience was in contrast to the previous two years, when LIFO income slightly increased gross profit margins. The replacement cost of the LIFO inventory is discussed in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The 1993 pre-tax profit margin increased to 9.2% of sales. This improvement primarily reflected a 0.7% reduction in selling, distribution and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales. Increased efficiencies and reduced bad debt expense contributed to the improvement in operating expense ratios. These factors and a slight increase in other income more than offset one time charges related to recent acquisitions and the Company's implementation of new accounting statements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The new accounting statements are mentioned separately at the end of this discussion, and in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Interest expense, as a percentage of sales, was reduced 0.4% in 1993 and further improved the pre-tax profit margin. Reduced debt outstanding (before recent acquisitions) and lower interest rates were reflected in this improvement. The effective income tax rate was 39.1% in 1993, up from 38.5% in 1992. In the third quarter of 1993, corporate federal income tax rates were increased from 34% to 35%, retroactive to January 1, 1993. Additional details of income taxes for the last three years are discussed in Note H of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In 1992, the gross profit margin increased to 22.8% of sales. This 1.4% increase over 1991 primarily reflected an improvement in operating efficiencies and earlier cost cutting at many locations. The 1992 pre-tax profit margin increased to 8.1% of sales. In addition to the improvement in the gross profit margin, the pre-tax margin benefitted from a 0.7% reduction in selling, distribution and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales. Improved operating efficiencies and reduced bad debt expense were reflected in the lower 1992 operating expense ratios. Interest expense, as a percentage of sales, was reduced 0.6% in 1992 and further improved the pre-tax profit margin. Reduced debt outstanding and lower interest rates both contributed to this improvement, which was partially offset by an increase in other deductions, net of other income. The 1992 earnings contribution from associated (50% owned) companies was down modestly from 1991. STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED The Company adopted three accounting statements in 1993 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The new statements included Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions;" SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes;" and SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment 10 Benefits." The Company fully expensed any previously unrecorded liabilities related to these accounting statements in 1993. The Company's financial statements, contrary to those of many other companies, have not been impacted in any significant way by the implementation of the new accounting rules. All new accounting statements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that could impact the Company were fully implemented by the end of 1993. ITEM 8.

The Company's previously issued financial statements have been restated to reflect pooling of interests acquisitions as discussed in Note B. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents include cash in excess of daily requirements which is invested in various financial instruments with maturities of three months or less. INVENTORIES: All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost includes materials, labor and production overhead. Cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for approximately 70% of the inventories at December 31, 1993 and 1992. The first-in, first-out (FIFO) method is used for the remainder. The FIFO cost of inventories at December 31, 1993 and 1992 approximated replacement cost. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION: Property, plant and equipment and other intangibles are depreciated or amortized over their estimated lives, principally by the straight-line method. Accelerated methods are used for tax purposes. The excess cost of purchased companies over net assets acquired is amortized by the straight-line method over forty years. COMPUTATIONS OF EARNINGS PER SHARE: Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents result from the assumed issuance of shares under stock option plans. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK: The Company specializes in manufacturing, marketing and distributing components and other related products for the furnishings industry and diversified markets. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial conditions and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers, some of which are highly leveraged. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses and such losses generally have been within management's expectations. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments approximates market value. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED: During 1993, the Company adopted three new statements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. These statements were: 1) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions;" 2) SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes;" and 3) SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." The adoption of these statements did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1993 presentation. B -- ACQUISITIONS In September 1993, the Company issued 1,579,354 shares of common stock to acquire Hanes Holding Company (Hanes) in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. Options to purchase an additional 45,743 shares of common stock were also extended by the Company in substitution for previously existing options. Hanes' business consists of converting and distributing woven and nonwoven construction fabrics, primarily in the furnishings industry. In addition, Hanes is a 20 LEGGETT & PLATT, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) B -- ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) commission dye/finisher of non-fashion fabrics for the furnishings and apparel industries. In another pooling of interests transaction, the Company issued 68,788 shares of common stock to acquire a company whose business is manufacturing furniture components for the furnishings industry. Previously issued financial statements have been restated to reflect the poolings. Separate results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 are as follows: 1993 1992 1991 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net sales: Leggett & Platt................................................ $ 1,350.8 $ 1,170.5 $ 1,081.8 Pooled Companies............................................... 175.9 144.5 139.6 ---------- ---------- ---------- Combined................................................... $ 1,526.7 $ 1,315.0 $ 1,221.4 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net earnings: Leggett & Platt................................................ $ 82.8 $ 62.5 $ 39.4 Pooled Companies............................................... 3.1 2.9 .6 ---------- ---------- ---------- Combined................................................... $ 85.9 $ 65.4 $ 40.0 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- In September 1993, the Company acquired VWR Textiles & Supplies, Inc. (through Hanes) which converts and distributes construction fabrics and manufactures and distributes other soft goods components to the furnishings industry. The purchase price of this acquisition was approximately $26.0. Also in 1993, the Company acquired full ownership of several wire drawing mills which previously had been jointly owned. This transaction involved $33.0 in cash and the assumption of approximately $3.6 of long term debt. In addition, the Company acquired several smaller companies during 1993 which primarily manufacture and distribute products to the furnishings industry. The following unaudited pro forma information shows the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 as though the 1993 acquisitions accounted for as purchases had occurred on January 1 of each year presented. These pro forma amounts reflect purchase accounting adjustments, interest on incremental borrowings and the tax effects thereof. This pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of either results of operations that would have occurred had the purchases been made on January 1 of each year or of future results of the combined companies. 1993 1992 ---------- ---------- Net sales.................................................................... $ 1,620.5 $ 1,471.5 Net earnings................................................................. 88.6 69.6 Earnings per share........................................................... 2.15 1.75 During 1992, the Company acquired the assets of one small company that primarily manufactures bedding and furniture components for the furnishings industry. The purchase price of this acquisition was approximately $5.8. Assuming this acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the year, it would not have had a material impact on net sales, net earnings or earnings per share. Also during 1992, the Company acquired a business accounted for as a pooling of interests. The business primarily manufactures bedding and furniture components for the furnishings industry. In exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of the business, the Company issued 100,903 shares of its common stock. The Company elected not to restate prior year's financial statements as the effect was immaterial. During 1991, the Company acquired the assets of two small companies that primarily manufacture bedding and furniture components for the furnishings industry. The purchase price of these acquisitions was approximately $10.0. Assuming these acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the year, they would not have had a material impact on net sales, net earnings or earnings per share. 21 LEGGETT & PLATT, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) B -- ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) The above acquisitions, except for the 1993 and 1992 poolings, have been accounted for as purchases, and, where applicable, the excess of the total acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired is being amortized by the straight-line method over forty years. The results of operations of these companies since the dates of acquisition have been included in the consolidated financial statements. The purchase prices as originally reported represent the initial amounts of cash and common stock of the Company issued at the time of the acquisitions. Some purchase agreements also contain provisions for additional payments if certain minimum earnings requirements are met. All such provisions expired during 1993.

For any revolving credit agreement, the Company may elect to pay interest based on 1) the bank's base lending rate, 2) LIBOR, 3) an adjusted certificate of deposit rate, or 4) the money market rate, as specified in the revolving agreements. Any outstanding balances at the end of the third year of the revolving credit agreements may be converted into term loans payable in ten equal semi-annual installments. Commitment fees during the revolving agreement period are 3/16 of 1% per annum of the unused credit line, payable on a quarterly basis. The revolving credit agreements and certain other long-term debt contain restrictive covenants which, among other restrictions, limit the amount of additional debt, require working capital to be maintained at specified amounts and restrict payments of dividends. Unrestricted retained earnings available for dividends at December 31, 1993 were approximately $137.1. Maturities of long-term debt for each of the five years following 1993 are: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994................................................................................. $ 1.4 1995................................................................................. 6.8 1996................................................................................. 12.4 1997................................................................................. 34.7 1998................................................................................. 21.8 E -- LEASE OBLIGATIONS The Company conducts certain of its operations in leased premises and also leases most of its automotive and trucking equipment and some other assets.

In 1989, the Company declared a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right (a Right) for each share of common stock. The Rights are attached to and traded with the Company's common stock. The Rights may only become exercisable under certain circumstances involving actual or potential acquisitions of the Company's common stock. Depending upon the circumstances, if the Rights become exercisable, the holder may be entitled to purchase shares of Series A junior preferred stock of the Company, shares of the Company's common stock or shares of common stock of the acquiring entity. The Rights remain in existence until February 15, 1999, unless they are exercised, exchanged or redeemed at an earlier date. On May 12, 1993 the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation increasing authorized Common Stock to 300,000,000 shares from 100,000,000 shares and reducing the par value of Common Stock to $.01 from $1.00. The amendment provided that the stated capital of the Company would not be affected as of the date of the amendment. Accordingly, stated capital of the Company exceeds the amount reported as common stock in the financial statements by approximately $39.0. G -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company sponsors contributory and non-contributory pension and retirement plans. Substantially all employees, other than union employees covered by multiemployer plans under collective bargaining agreements, are eligible to participate in the plans. Retirement benefits under the contributory plans are based on career average earnings. Retirement benefits under the non-contributory plans are based on years of service, employees' average compensation and social security benefits. It is the Company's policy to fund actuarially determined costs as accrued. 24 LEGGETT & PLATT, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) G -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED) Information at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 as to the funded status of Company sponsored defined benefit plans, net pension income from the plans for the years then ended and weighted average assumptions used in the calculations are as follows: 1993 1992 1991 ----------- ----------- ----------- Funded Status Actuarial present value of benefit obligations Vested benefits............................................. $ (46.3) $ (37.2) $ (31.9) Nonvested benefits..........................................

Contributions to union sponsored, multiemployer pension plans were $.2, $.2 and $.4 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. These plans are not administered by the Company and contributions are determined in accordance with provisions of negotiated labor contracts. As of 1993, the actuarially computed values of vested benefits for these plans were equal to or less than the net assets of the plans. Therefore, the Company would have no withdrawal liability. However, the Company has no present intention of withdrawing from any of these plans, nor has the Company been informed that there is any intention to terminate such plans. Net pension income (expense), including Company sponsored defined benefit plans, multiemployer plans and other plans, was $.7, $.8 and $(.4) in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. The Company also has a contributory stock purchase/stock bonus plan (SPSB Plan), a non-qualified executive stock purchase program (ESPP) and an employees' discount stock plan (DSP). The SPSB Plan provides Company pre-tax contributions of 50% of the amount of employee contributions. The ESPP provides cash payments of 50% of the employees' contributions, along with an additional payment to assist employees in paying taxes on the cash payments. These contributions to the ESPP are invested in the Company's common stock through the DSP. In addition, the Company matches its 25 LEGGETT & PLATT, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) G -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED) contributions when certain profitability levels, as defined in the SPSB Plan and the ESPP, have been attained. The Company's total contributions to the SPSB Plan and the ESPP were $2.5, $2.2 and $2.0 for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Under the DSP, eligible employees may purchase a maximum of 4,000,000 shares of Company common stock. The purchase price per share is 85% of the closing market price on the last business day of each month. Shares purchased under the DSP were 181,306, 237,713 and 267,212 during 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Purchase prices ranged from $12 to $43 per share. Since inception of the DSP in 1982, a total of 2,120,413 shares have been purchased by employees.

These tax benefits became available during 1992 and were recognized accordingly. I -- INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company's operations principally consist of the manufacturing of components and related finished products for the furnishings industry. In addition, the Company supplies a diversified group of industries with products which are similar in manufacturing technology to its furnishings operations. Other than furnishings, no industry segment is significant. The Company's products are sold primarily through its own sales personnel to customers in all states of the United States. Foreign sales are a minor portion of the Company's business. No single customer accounts for as much as 10% of sales. Operating profit is determined by deducting from net sales the cost of goods sold and the selling, distribution, administrative and other expenses attributable to the segment operations. Corporate expenses not allocated to the segments include corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense and certain other income and deduction items which are incidental to the Company's operations. Capital expenditures, as defined herein, include amounts relating to acquisitions as well as internal expenditures. The identifiable assets of industry segments are those used in the Company's 27 LEGGETT & PLATT, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) I -- INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED) operations of each segment. Corporate identifiable assets include cash, land, buildings and equipment used in conjunction with corporate activities, and sundry assets. Financial information by segment is as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, --------------------------------------------------- FURNISHINGS PRODUCTS DIVERSIFIED CORPORATE CONSOLIDATED ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------ 1993 Net sales...................................................... $ 1,147.8 $ 378.9 $ -- $ 1,526.7 Operating profit............................................... 126.8 36.1 (21.9) 141.0 Capital expenditures........................................... 63.3 22.0 3.0 88.3 Depreciation and amortization expense.......................... 35.3 8.6 1.4 45.3 Identifiable assets............................................ 684.3 177.9 39.7 901.9 1992 Net sales...................................................... $ 1,014.1 $ 300.9 $ -- $ 1,315.0 Operating profit............................................... 103.8 27.8 (25.2) 106.4 Capital expenditures........................................... 31.2 6.4 3.0 40.6 Depreciation and amortization expense.......................... 33.5 7.4 1.7 42.6 Identifiable assets............................................ 576.9 140.4 54.7 772.0 1991 Net sales...................................................... $ 942.7 $ 278.7 $ -- $ 1,221.4 Operating profit............................................... 73.6 22.1 (29.7) 66.0 Capital expenditures........................................... 29.9 5.2 7.7 42.8 Depreciation and amortization expense.......................... 31.8 8.1 1.5 41.4 Identifiable assets............................................ 555.2 125.8 65.7 746.7 ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------ J -- CONTINGENCIES From time to time, the Company is involved in proceedings related to environmental matters. In one instance, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has directed one of the Company's subsidiaries to investigate potential releases into the environment and, if necessary, to perform corrective action. The subsidiary appealed the EPA's action and the outcome cannot be reasonably predicted. Costs to perform the actions directed by the EPA, if the outcome is unfavorable, cannot be reasonably estimated. One-half of any such costs would be reimbursed to the Company under a contractual obligation of a former joint owner of the subsidiary. No provision for costs of performing investigation and corrective action, if ultimately required, have been recorded in the Company's financial statements. If any such investigation and corrective action is required, management believes the possibility of incurring unreimbursed costs, with a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations, is remote. 28 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Leggett & Platt, Incorporated: In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Leggett & Platt, Incorporated and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
