7. Commitments and contingencies
The Company is involved in routine litigation from time to time in the
regular course of its business. Except as noted below, there are no material
legal proceedings pending or known to be contemplated to which the Company is a
party or to which any of its property is subject.
The Company is a party to two consolidated lawsuits captioned Gaehwiler v.
Sunrise Carpet Industries, Inc. et al. and Patco Enterprises, Inc. v. Sunrise
Carpet Industries, Inc. et al., both of which were filed in the Superior Court
of the State of California, City and County of San Francisco, in 1996. Both
complaints were brought on behalf of a purported class of indirect purchasers of
polypropylene carpet in the State of California and seek damages for alleged
violations of California antitrust and unfair competition laws. In February
1999, a similar complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of
California, City and County of San Francisco, on behalf of a purported class
based on indirect purchasers of nylon carpet in the State of California and
alleges violations of California antitrust and unfair competition laws. The
complaints described above do not specify any specific amount of damages but do
request injunctive relief and treble damages plus reimbursement for fees and
costs. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to
vigorously defend against these actions.
8. Earnings per share
The Company's basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net
earnings by the weighted-average common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings
per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average common
and dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive common stock options

9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 will require
that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS No. 142.
The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 141
immediately, and SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Furthermore, any
goodwill determined to have an indefinite useful life that was acquired in a
purchase business combination completed after June 30, 2001 will not be
amortized. Goodwill acquired in business combinations completed before July 1,
2001 will discontinue being amortized after December 31, 2001.
The Company is currently evaluating its existing goodwill that was acquired
in prior purchase business combinations for impairment and believes such
evaluation will not result in an adjustment that is material to the consolidated
financial statements.
As of the date of adoption, the Company expects to have unamortized
goodwill in the amount of $109,161. Amortization expense related to goodwill was
$3,184 and $2,407 for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the nine months ended
September 29, 2001, respectively.

(Unaudited)
In August 2001, the Financial Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144
provides new guidance on the recognition of impairment losses on long-lived
assets to be held and used or to be disposed of and also broadens the definition
of what constitutes a discontinued operation and how the results of a
discontinued operation are to be measured and presented. SFAS 144 is effective
for the Company's fiscal year beginning in 2002 and is not expected to
materially change the methods used by the Company to measure impairment losses
on long-lived assets, but may result in more matters being reported as
discontinued operations than is permitted under current accounting principles.
11
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations
Quarter Ended September 29, 2001 as Compared with Quarter Ended September 30,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000
----
Net sales for the quarter ended September 29, 2001 were $869.7 million,
reflecting an increase of $31.2 million, or approximately 3.7%, over the $838.5
million reported in the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The Company believes
that the increase was attributable to growth in soft non-carpet products and
hard surface products.
Gross profit for the third quarter of the current year was $220.6 million
(25.4% of net sales) and represented a $6.4 million increase over the gross
profit of $214.2 million (25.5% of net sales) for the prior year's quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the current quarter were
$128.2 million (14.7% of net sales) compared to $127.2 million (15.2% of net
sales) for the prior year's third quarter. The decreased percentage was
attributable to cost containment and leveraging of expenses against a higher
sales volume in the current quarter.
In the third quarter of 2000, the Company reached an agreement to settle
two antitrust class actions. The Company contributed $13.5 million to the
settlement fund to resolve price fixing claims. During the quarter in 2000, the
Company recorded a charge of $7 million in connection with the settlement.
Interest expense for the current quarter was $6.9 million compared to $10.2
million in the third quarter of 2000. The decrease was due to a reduction in
debt levels and a decrease in the weighted average borrowing rate compared to
the third quarter of 2000.
Income tax expense was $28.8 million, or 34.0% of earnings before income
taxes in the current quarter compared to $26.9 million, or 39% of earnings
before income taxes for the prior year's third quarter. The reduction in the
effective income tax rate was primarily due to tax credits.
Nine months Ended September 29, 2001 as Compared with Nine months Ended
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 2000
------------------
Net sales for the first nine months ended September 29, 2001 were $2,441.7
million, reflecting a decrease of $14.7 million, or approximately .6%, from the
$2,456.4 million reported in the nine month period ended September 30, 2000. The
Company believes that the decrease was attributable to the cyclical downturn in
the overall economy, which led to declining industry shipments.
Gross profit for the first nine months of the current year was $615.4
million (25.2% of net sales) and represented a $5.3 million decrease from the
gross profit of $620.7 million (25.3% of net sales) for the first nine months of
2000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the current period were
$385.8 million (15.8% of net sales) compared to $379.0 million (15.4% of net
sales) for the prior year's first nine months. The increased percentage was
primarily due to costs of rolling out the hard surface product lines.
In the third quarter of 2000, the Company reached an agreement to settle
two antitrust class actions. The Company contributed $13.5 million to the
settlement fund to resolve price fixing claims. During the quarter the Company
recorded a charge of $7 million in connection with the settlement.
Interest expense for the current period was $24.1 million compared to $28.6
million in the prior year's first nine months. The decrease was due to a
reduction in debt levels, and a decrease in the weighted average borrowing rate
compared to the first nine months of 2000.
12
Income tax expense was $72.0 million, or 35.8% of earnings before income
taxes in the current period compared to $79.9 million, or 39.3% of earnings
before income taxes for the prior year's first nine months. The reduction in the
effective income tax rate was primarily due to tax credits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital
expenditures and acquisitions. The Company's capital needs are met through a
combination of internally generated funds, bank credit lines, securitization of
accounts receivable and credit terms from suppliers.
The level of accounts receivable increased from $358.8 million at the
beginning of 2001 to $432.7 million at September 29, 2001. The $73.9 million
increase was attributable to seasonal fluctuation. Inventories increased from
$574.6 million at the beginning of 2001 to $576.2 million at September 29, 2001,
due primarily to the rollout of the hard surface products, Ralph Lauren and
Crown Crafts product lines, partially offset by a reduction in broadloom carpet
inventories.
Capital expenditures totaled $40.9 million for the first nine months of
2001, and were incurred primarily to modernize and expand manufacturing
facilities and equipment. The Company's capital projects are primarily focused
on increasing capacity, improving productivity and reducing costs. Capital
spending for the remainder of 2001 is expected to range from $35.8 million to
$45.8 million, the majority of which will be used to purchase equipment to
increase production capacity and productivity.
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 15
million shares of its outstanding common stock. Since the inception of the
program, a total of approximately 9.0 million shares have been repurchased at an
aggregate cost of approximately $200.8 million. All of these repurchases have
been financed through the Company's operations and banking arrangements.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation affects the Company's manufacturing costs and operating expenses.
The carpet industry has experienced significant inflation in the prices of raw
materials and fuel-related costs, beginning in the third quarter of 1999, but
such cost pressures have lessened during the last half of 2000 and first three
quarters of 2001. The Company has generally passed along nylon fiber price
increases to its customers.
Seasonality
The carpet business is seasonal, with the Company's second, third and
fourth quarters typically producing higher net sales and operating income. By
comparison, results for the first quarter tend to be the weakest. This
seasonality is primarily attributable to consumer residential spending patterns
and higher installation levels during the spring and summer months.
Certain factors affecting the Company's performance
In addition to the other information provided in this Form 10-Q, the
following risk factors should be considered when evaluating an investment in
shares of Mohawk common stock.
A failure by Mohawk to complete acquisitions and successfully integrate acquired
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
operations could materially and adversely affect its business.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Management intends to pursue acquisitions of complementary businesses as
part of its business and growth strategies. Although management regularly
evaluates acquisition opportunities, it cannot offer assurance that it will be
able to:
. successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates;
. obtain sufficient financing on acceptable terms to fund acquisitions;
. complete acquisitions;
. integrate acquired operations into Mohawk's existing operations; or
. profitably manage acquired businesses.
Acquired operations may not achieve levels of sales, operating income or
productivity comparable to those
13
of Mohawk's existing operations, or otherwise perform as expected. Acquisitions
may also involve a number of special risks, some or all of which could have a
material adverse effect on Mohawk's business, results of operations and
financial condition, including, among others:
. possible adverse effects on Mohawk's operating results;
. diversion of Mohawk management's attention and its resources; and
. dependence on retaining and training acquired key personnel.
The carpet industry is cyclical and a downturn in the overall economy could
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
lessen the demand for Mohawk's products and impair growth and profitability.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The carpet industry is cyclical and is influenced by a number of general
economic factors. Prevailing interest rates, consumer confidence, spending for
durable goods, disposable income, turnover in housing and the condition of the
residential and commercial construction industries (including the number of new
housing starts and the level of new commercial construction) all have an impact
on Mohawk's growth and profitability. In addition, sales of Mohawk's principal
products are related to construction and renovation of commercial and
residential buildings. Any adverse cycle could lessen the overall demand for
Mohawk's products and could, in turn, impair Mohawk's growth and profitability.
The carpet business is seasonal and this seasonality causes Mohawk's results of
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
operations to fluctuate on a quarterly basis.
---------------------------------------------
Mohawk is a calendar year end company and its results of operations for the
first and fourth quarters tend to be the weakest. Mohawk's second and third
quarters typically produce higher net sales and operating income. These results
are primarily due to consumer residential spending patterns and more carpet
being installed in the spring and summer months.
Mohawk's business is competitive and a failure by Mohawk to compete effectively
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
could have a material and adverse impact on Mohawk's results of operations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mohawk operates in a highly competitive industry. Mohawk and other
manufacturers in the carpet industry compete on the basis of price, style,
quality and service. Some of Mohawk's competitors may have greater financial
resources at their disposal. If competitors substantially increase production
and marketing of competing products, then Mohawk might be required to lower its
prices or spend more on product development, marketing and sales, which could
adversely affect Mohawk's profitability.
An increase in the cost of raw materials could negatively impact Mohawk's
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
profitability.
--------------
The cost of raw materials has a significant impact on the profitability of
Mohawk. In particular, Mohawk's business requires it to purchase large volumes
of nylon fiber and polypropylene resin, which is used to manufacture fiber. The
cost of these raw materials is related to oil prices. Mohawk does not have any
long-term supply contracts for any of these products. While Mohawk generally
attempts to match cost increases with price increases, large increases in the
cost of such raw materials could adversely affect its business, results of
operations and financial condition if it is unable to pass these costs through
to its customers.
Mohawk may be responsible for environmental cleanup, which could negatively
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
impact profitability.
---------------------
Various federal, state and local environmental laws govern the use of
Mohawk's facilities. Such laws govern:
. discharges to air and water;
. handling and disposal of solid and hazardous substances and waste;
and
. remediation of contamination from releases of hazardous substances in
Mohawk's facilities and off-site disposal locations.
Mohawk's operations are also governed by the laws relating to workplace
safety and worker health, which, among other things, establish asbestos and
noise standards and regulate the use of hazardous chemicals in the workplace.
Mohawk has taken and will continue to take steps to comply with these laws.
Based upon current available information, Mohawk believes that complying with
environmental and safety and health requirements will not require material
capital expenditures in the foreseeable future. However, Mohawk cannot
14
provide assurance that complying with these environmental or health and safety
laws and requirements will not adversely affect its business, results of
operations and financial condition. Future laws, ordinances or regulations could
give rise to additional compliance or remediation costs, which could have a
material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 will require
that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS No. 142.
The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 141
immediately, and SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Furthermore, any
goodwill determined to have an indefinite useful life that was acquired in a
purchase business combination completed after June 30, 2001 will not be
amortized. Goodwill acquired in business combinations completed before July 1,
2001 will discontinue being amortized after December 31, 2001.
The Company is currently evaluating its existing goodwill that was acquired
in prior purchase business combinations for impairment and believes such
evaluation will not result in an adjustment that is material to the consolidated
financial statements.
As of the date of adoption, the Company expects to have unamortized
goodwill in the amount of $109.2 million. Amortization expense related to
goodwill was $3.2 million and $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000
and the nine months ended September 29, 2001, respectively.
In August 2001, the Financial Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144
provides new guidance on the recognition of impairment losses on long-lived
assets to be held and used or to be disposed of and also broadens the definition
of what constitutes a discontinued operation and how the results of a
discontinued operation are to be measured and presented. SFAS 144 is effective
for the Company's fiscal year beginning in 2002 and is not expected to
materially change the methods used by the Company to measure impairment losses
on long-lived assets, but may result in more matters being reported as
discontinued operations than is permitted under current accounting principles.
Forward-Looking Information
Certain of the matters discussed in the preceding pages, particularly
regarding anticipating future financial performance, business prospects, growth
and operating strategies, proposed acquisitions, new products and similar
matters, and those preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words
"believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "estimates" or similar
expressions constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. For those statements,
Mohawk claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements
contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Those
statements are based on assumptions regarding the Company's ability to maintain
its sales growth and gross margins and to control costs. These or other
assumptions could prove inaccurate and therefore, there can be no assurance that
the "forward-looking statements" will prove to be accurate. Forward-looking
statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The following important
factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this document, affect the
future results of Mohawk and could cause those results to differ materially from
those expressed in the forward-looking statements: materially adverse changes in
economic conditions generally in the carpet, rug and floor covering markets
served by Mohawk; competition from other carpet, rug and floor covering
manufacturers; raw material prices; timing and level of capital expenditures;
the successful integration of acquisitions, including the challenges inherent in
diverting Mohawk management's attention and resources from other strategic
matters and from operational matters for an extended period of time; the
successful introduction of new products; the successful rationalization of
existing operations; and other risks identified from time to time in the
Company's SEC reports and public announcements. Any forward-looking statements
represent Mohawk's estimates only as of the date of this
15
report and should not be relied upon as representing Mohawk's estimates as of
any subsequent date. While Mohawk may elect to update forward-looking statements
at some point in the future, Mohawk specifically disclaims any obligation to do
so, even if Mohawk's estimates change.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
To reduce the risk of interest rate fluctuations, the Company engages in
the use of interest rate swap agreements. At September 29, 2001, the Company
held one interest rate swap agreement under which the Company pays a fixed
percent of interest times the notional principal amount and receives in return
an amount equal to a specified variable rate of interest times the same notional
principal amount. The fixed interest rate per the agreement is 5.82%, which
expires January 2, 2006. The average rate as of September 29, 2001 was 3.1%.
This agreement is considered highly effective as of September 29, 2001. The
cumulative fair value of the agreement as of September 29, 2001 was a liability
of $4.6 million, which was recorded in long-term liabilities with the offset to
other comprehensive loss, net of applicable income taxes.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in routine litigation from time to time in the
regular course of its business. Except as noted below, there are no material
legal proceedings pending or known to be contemplated to which the Company is a
party or to which any of its property is subject.
The Company is a party to two consolidated lawsuits captioned Gaehwiler v.
Sunrise Carpet Industries, Inc. et al. and Patco Enterprises, Inc. v. Sunrise
Carpet Industries, Inc. et al., both of which were filed in the Superior Court
of the State of California, City and County of San Francisco, in 1996. Both
complaints were brought on behalf of a purported class of indirect purchasers of
polypropylene carpet in the State of California and seek damages for alleged
violations of California antitrust and unfair competition laws. In February
1999, a similar complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of
California, City and County of San Francisco, on behalf of a purported class
based on indirect purchasers of nylon carpet in the State of California and
alleges violations of California antitrust and unfair competition laws. The
complaints described above do not specify any specific amount of damages but do
request injunctive relief and treble damages plus reimbursement for fees and
costs.
