PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Mohawk Industries, Inc. ("Mohawk" or the "Company," a term which includes
the Company and its subsidiaries, including its primary operating subsidiaries,
Mohawk Carpet Corporation, Aladdin Manufacturing Corporation and Dal-Tile
International Inc. ("Dal-Tile")) is the leading producer of floorcovering
products for residential and commercial applications in the United States. The
Company is the second largest carpet and rug manufacturer, and a leading
manufacturer, marketer and distributor of ceramic tile and natural stone, in the
United States. On a pro forma basis after giving effect to the merger with
Dal-Tile, the Company had annual net sales in 2001 of approximately $4.5
billion.
Through the Company's carpet and rug business, the Company designs,
manufactures and markets carpet and rugs in a broad range of colors, textures
and patterns and is a leading producer of woven and tufted broadloom carpet and
rugs for principally residential applications. The Company positions its
products in all price ranges and emphasizes quality, style, performance and
service. The Company is widely recognized through its premier brand names, which
include "Mohawk," "Aladdin," "Mohawk Home," "Bigelow," "Bigelow Commercial,"
"Custom Weave," "Durkan Commercial," "Durkan Patterned Carpets," "Goodwin
Weavers," "Helios," "Horizon," "Karastan," "Karastan Contract," "Mohawk
ColorCenter," "Mohawk Commercial," "Mohawk Floorscapes," "Newmark Rug,"
"Townhouse," "World" and "WundaWeve." The Company markets and distributes its
carpet and rug products through over 30,000 customers, which include primarily
independent carpet retailers, home centers, mass merchandisers, department
stores, commercial dealers and commercial end users. Some products are also
marketed through private labeling programs. The Company's carpet and rug
operations are vertically integrated from the extrusion of resin and
post-consumer plastics into fiber, to the conversion of fiber into yarn and to
the manufacture and shipment of finished carpet and rugs.
Through the Company's ceramic tile business, it designs, manufactures and
markets a broad line of wall, floor, quarry and mosaic tile products used in the
residential and commercial markets for both new construction and remodeling.
Most of the Company's ceramic tile products are marketed under the "daltile" and
"American Olean" brand names. The Company's ceramic tile business is organized
into three strategic business units: company-operated sales and service centers,
independent distributors and home center retailers. The Company's
company-operated sales center unit maintains over 200 sales and service centers
in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The Company's independent
distributor unit distributes the American Olean brand through approximately 200
independent distributor locations and five company-operated sales and service
centers serving a variety of residential and commercial customers. The Company's
home center retailer unit supplies products to more than 2,000 home center
retail outlets operating in the do-it-yourself and buy-it-yourself markets. Each
business unit has a dedicated sales force supporting that unit. Additionally,
the Company has showroom and design centers in Atlanta, Georgia and Dallas,
Texas, where customers of local builders, remodelers, architects, designers and
contractors may view and select ceramic tile and natural stone for their
building projects.
The Company recently acquired a significant portion of its ceramic tile
business in its merger with Dal-Tile. Initially, the Company will operate its
ceramic tile business as a stand-alone entity and will not make significant
changes to integrate the operations with its existing operations. The Company's
management has begun to study the many opportunities to assimilate Dal-Tile's
ceramic tile business and realize synergies. The Company will continue to review
operations, systems and procedures to establish the most efficient operation
possible.
The Dal-Tile Acquisition
On March 20, 2002, the Company completed its acquisition of Dal-Tile and
Dal-Tile merged with and into Maverick Merger Sub, Inc., the Company's wholly
owned subsidiary. Maverick Merger Sub was the surviving corporation of the
merger and was renamed Dal-Tile International Inc. The aggregate consideration
paid to Dal-Tile stockholders at closing, including holders of options to
purchase Dal-Tile common stock, consisted of approximately $692 million in cash,
approximately 12.9 million shares of the Company's common stock and options to
purchase approximately 2.1 million shares of the Company's common stock. In
connection with the merger, the Company also paid costs of approximately $21
million and repaid or assumed approximately $198 million of Dal-Tile's
outstanding debt.
2
The Company believes that the acquisition of Dal-Tile will give it the
opportunity to:
. combine Mohawk's current efforts in the hard-flooring business with
Dal-Tile's larger, more established ceramic tile and natural stone
business;
. use Mohawk and Dal-Tile's existing distribution channels to increase
sales of both carpets and hard floorcoverings;
. further develop Mohawk's various brands and increase sales by
distributing its products through Dal-Tile's distribution network;
. reduce overhead and other costs by adding Dal-Tile's distribution
network to Mohawk's logistical and distribution system;
. reduce manufacturing costs and increase quality by identifying
manufacturing best practices; and
. reduce general, administrative, overhead and other miscellaneous costs
by spreading fixed costs over a larger business.
The Company financed the Dal-Tile acquisition with $600 million of
borrowings under a bridge credit facility, borrowings of approximately $126
million under its existing revolving credit facility and $110 million under its
on-balance sheet asset financing securitization facility and the assumption of
Dal-Tile's existing $75 million on-balance sheet receivables securitization
facility.
Industry
The floorcovering industry has grown from $12.4 billion in sales in 1992 to
$20.1 billion in 2000. In 2000, the primary categories of the United States
floorcovering industry were carpet and rugs (63%), ceramic tile (11%), vinyl and
rubber (14%), hardwood (8%) and laminate (4%). Each of these categories has been
positively impacted by:
. U.S. population growth, requiring new and renovated housing and
commercial space;
. increasing average house size (up approximately 30% since 1980); and
. growth in vacation homes.
Compound average growth rates for units sold (measured by square yards) for each
of the floorcovering categories above for the period from 1992 through 2000 have
exceeded the growth rate of the gross domestic product of the United States over
the same period. During this period, the compound average growth rate was 4.4%
for carpet and rugs, 10.6% for ceramic tile, 5.0% for vinyl and rubber and 9.1%
for hardwood. Laminate, which is a relatively new product, experienced a
compound average growth rate of 39.9% from 1996 through 2000.
According to the most recent figures available from the United States
Department of Commerce, worldwide carpet and rug sales volume of American
manufacturers and their domestic divisions was 2.0 billion square yards in 2000.
This volume represents a market in excess of approximately $12 billion. The
overall level of sales in the carpet industry is influenced by a number of
factors, including consumer confidence, spending for durable goods, interest
rates, turnover in housing, the condition of the residential and commercial
construction industries and the overall strength of the economy.
Broadloom carpet, defined as carpet over six feet by nine feet in size,
represented 80% of the amounts shipped by the industry in 2000. Tufted broadloom
carpet, a category that refers to the manner of construction in
3
addition to size, represented 83.5% of the broadloom industry volume shipped in
2000. The broadloom carpet industry has two primary markets, residential and
commercial, with the residential market making up approximately 69% of industry
amounts shipped in 2000 and the commercial market comprising approximately 31%.
An estimated 47% of industry shipments are made in response to replacement
demand, which usually involves exact yardage, or "cut order," shipments that
typically provide higher profit margins than sales of carpet sold in full rolls.
Because the replacement business generally involves higher quality carpet cut to
order by the manufacturer, rather than the dealer, this business tends to be
more profitable for manufacturers than the new construction business.
The United States ceramic tile industry shipped 2.3 billion square feet, or
$2.1 billion, in 2000, which represents an 8.1% and 5.9% growth rate over 1999,
respectively. The compound average growth rate of dollar shipments was 9.5% from
1996 through 2000 for ceramic tile. Sales in the ceramic tile industry are
influenced by the same factors that influence the carpet industry, including
consumer confidence, spending for durable goods, interest rates, turnover in
housing, the condition of the residential and commercial construction industries
and the overall strength of the economy.
Glazed floor and wall tile represented 86% of the total industry dollars
shipped in 2000. The balance of the industry 2000 dollar shipments are
represented by unglazed mosaic and porcelain, 11.0% of total, and quarry tile,
3.0% of total. The ceramic tile industry's two primary markets, residential
applications and commercial applications, represent 67.6% and 32.0% of the
industry total, respectively. Of the total residential market, 62% of the dollar
shipments are for new construction.
Competitive Strengths and Business Strategies
Competitive Strengths
The Company's competitive strengths include:
Strong Brand Equity. The Company's collection of national brands represents
one of the strongest portfolios in the floorcovering industry. The Company has
built strong brand equity by being a leader in service, quality and product
innovation in its industry. The Company's established brands also provide it
with a powerful platform for growth through new products and product line
extensions.
Position as Market Leader. The Company is the second largest carpet and rug
manufacturer in the United States and, as a result of its recent acquisition of
Dal-Tile, it is now a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of ceramic
tile and natural stone in the United States.
Superior Distribution System. The Company believes it provides superior
product availability and faster delivery for customers of its carpet and rug
business through its hub-and-spoke distribution network consisting of nine
regional warehouses and over 40 smaller satellite distribution centers. The
Company's distribution centers are supplied and serviced by its transportation
fleet, which operates over 750 trucks and trailers. The Company's use of
advanced management information systems allows it to monitor a transaction from
the customer order through manufacturing to shipment of the finished product and
to operate its separate facilities in a more integrated fashion, resulting in
faster delivery times, lower costs and increased operational efficiencies. The
Company's acquisition of Dal-Tile added over 200 customer service centers, as
well as three regional distribution centers, located strategically throughout
the United States, which provides it with opportunities to expand its
distribution capabilities.
Strong Customer Service. The Company is focused on building and maintaining
long-term relationships with its customers. The Company assists its customers in
selling its products and expanding their businesses by providing differentiated
products and presentations. The Company also provides additional services that
enhance its relationships with its customers, such as merchandising, training
and administrative support programs. As a result of the Company's efforts, it
was honored to be voted "Best Overall Carpet Manufacturer" and "Best Overall
Tile Manufacturer" by floorcovering retailers in the Floor Covering News Award
of Excellence as part of Surfaces 2001, a floorcovering industry tradeshow. In
addition, in 2001, commercial designers gave the Company's Mohawk commercial
brands a strong rating by placing them in one of the top three places for
4
service, quality, design, value and performance. No other commercial carpet
manufacturer achieved as high a rating in all categories.
Total Floorcovering Supplier. The Company's product selections include
hundreds of styles of carpets and rugs and ceramic tile in a broad range of
colors, textures and patterns in all price ranges. Combining Dal-Tile's
extensive ceramic and stone product offerings with Mohawk's products will
provide the Company's customers with one of the broadest product offerings in
the industry. This broad range of product offerings provides a foundation for
the Company's goal of becoming the one-stop supplier of floorcovering products
for residential and commercial applications.
Experienced Management. The Company's experienced management team has
driven its successful performance by emphasizing customer satisfaction,
operating efficiency, cost control, acquisition integration and product design.
In 2002, the Company was named Fortune magazine's Most Admired Company in the
Textiles category.
Business Strategies
The Company's business strategies are designed to take advantage of its
competitive strengths while maintaining its focus on meeting or exceeding its
customers' requirements. As a part of the Company's overall strategy, it has
implemented the following marketing, operations and acquisition strategies
designed to increase market share and achieve profitable growth through a focus
on high-quality, low-cost production offered with superior service at
competitive prices.
Marketing Strategy. The Company's marketing strategy includes initiatives
designed to more fully develop and support its independent dealer base in order
to increase the demand for its products. Key elements of the Company's marketing
strategy include:
. continuing to offer high-value, quality products;
. using advertising and marketing programs to leverage the substantial
brand equity of the Company's products, with a particular focus on
high-growth product categories;
. seeking to develop marketing programs with the Company's customers;
. dedicating separate sales forces to each of the Company's major
distribution channels; and
. offering merchandising, training and administrative support programs
to the Company's customers on a national level to support product
sales and assist in expanding their businesses.
Operations Strategy. The Company's operating strategy is to capitalize on
its competitive strengths to be both highly efficient and cost effective in its
manufacturing, marketing, distribution and administrative services. To this end,
the Company has structured its manufacturing operations to include the vertical
integration of production facilities using low-cost manufacturing techniques
with a superior distribution network. The Company's carpet and rug operations
are vertically integrated from the extrusion of resin into fiber, to the
conversion of fiber into yarn and to the manufacture and distribution of
finished carpet and rugs. The Company's ceramic tile operations are vertically
integrated from the production of frit and manufacturing supplies to the
manufacture of ceramic tile at modern facilities in both the United States and
Mexico to the distribution of finished ceramic tile through its three separate
distribution channels. The Company continues to evaluate enhancements in
manufacturing technology, operational procedures and management information
systems and to its hub-and-spoke distribution system where the Company believes
the investments will allow it to improve operating efficiencies or otherwise
reduce costs or improve customer service.
Acquisition Strategy. The Company's acquisition strategy is to continue to
explore growth through acquisition opportunities in an effort to expand its
product offerings, reduce its costs of production through vertical integration,
and maintain its position as a leading producer of floorcovering products for
residential and commercial applications. The Company regularly evaluates
acquisition opportunities that would help it meet these goals.
5
The Company's management team has considerable experience in completing
acquisitions. Since the Company's initial public offering in 1992 (the "Initial
Public Offering"), and prior to its merger with Dal-Tile, the Company completed
and integrated twelve acquisitions that collectively have (i) broadened price
points; (ii) increased the Company's vertical integration; (iii) expanded
distribution capabilities; (iv) facilitated entry into niche or complementary
businesses, such as rugs, decorative throws, bedspreads, coverlets and ceramic
tile and (v) added to the depth of the Company's management team.
Sales and Distribution
Carpet and Rug Business.
The Company designs, manufactures and markets hundreds of styles of carpet
and rugs in a broad range of colors, textures and patterns. The carpet and rug
division positions its products in all price ranges and emphasizes quality,
style, performance and service. The Company is widely recognized through its
premier brand names, including "Mohawk," "Aladdin," " Mohawk Home," "Bigelow,"
"Bigelow Commercial," "Custom Weave," "Durkan Commercial," "Durkan Patterned
Carpets," "Goodwin Weavers," "Helios," "Horizon," "Karastan," "Karastan
Contract," "Mohawk ColorCenter," "Mohawk Commercial," "Mohawk Floorscapes,"
"Newmark Rug," "Townhouse," "World" and "WundaWeve." The Company markets and
distributes carpet and rugs through over 30,000 customers, which include
independent carpet retailers, home centers, mass merchandisers, department
stores, commercial dealers, and commercial end users. Some products are also
marketed through private labeling programs.
Sales to residential customers represent a significant portion of the total
industry and the majority of the Company's carpet and rug sales. The Company
currently markets approximately 650 residential products to its customers, which
include independent retailers, department stores, mass merchandisers, buying
groups and building and tenant improvement contractors.
The Company has positioned its premier residential carpet and rug brand
names across all price ranges. "Mohawk," "Custom Weave," "WundaWeve," "Bigelow,"
"Galaxy," "Horizon," "Helios" and "Karastan" are positioned to sell primarily in
the medium-to-high retail price range in the residential broadloom market, and
these lines are also sold under private labels. These lines have substantial
brand name recognition among carpet dealers and retailers with the "Karastan,"
"Mohawk" and "Bigelow" brands having the highest consumer recognition in the
industry. "Karastan" is the leader in the exclusive high-end market. The
"Aladdin" and "World" brand names compete primarily in the low-to-medium retail
price range.
The Company offers intensive marketing and advertising support through
dealer programs like Karastan Gallery, Mohawk ColorCenter and Mohawk
Floorscapes. These programs offer varying degrees of support to dealers in the
form of sales and management training, merchandising systems, exclusive
promotions and assistance in certain administrative functions such as consumer
credit, advertising and insurance.
The Company's carpet and rug business generally markets its residential
products through its residential sales forces that report to common management
on a regional basis. All of the regional vice presidents report to one senior
vice president of sales. Each region has responsibility for sales, distribution
and inventory management in its region, all of which is coordinated by the
senior vice president of sales at a national level. The inventory management on
a regional level is accomplished by a hub-and-spoke distribution network. In
this system, the Company's trucks generally deliver carpet from mill sites to
regional warehouses. From there, it is shipped to local distribution warehouses,
then to retailers.
The commercial customer base is divided into several groups: educational
institutions, corporate office space, hospitality facilities, retail space and
health care facilities. In addition, the Company produces and sells carpet for
the export market, the federal government and other niche businesses. Different
purchase decision makers and decision-making processes exist for each group.
The sales distribution channels for the commercial products have been
divided into five groups based upon traditional marketing paths: main street,
dealer negotiated, performance specified, fashion specified and hospitality and
lodging.
6
The main street channel traditionally offers lower price point carpets sold
through retail dealers under the "Aladdin" brand and is distributed through the
residential sales force. Products sold into this channel are service driven and
price sensitive.
The dealer-negotiated channel is serviced through the "Bigelow Commercial"
brand. In this channel, large commercial flooring contractors play the most
important role in product selection on negotiated project work such as leased
commercial office and retail space. This channel is relationship driven and
service oriented where top performers are rewarded with a higher percentage of a
contractor's discretionary business.
The performance specified channel is serviced through the "Mohawk
Commercial" and "Mohawk Modular" brands, where long-term appearance retention
and durability are key buyer criteria for more demanding project environments
such as auditoriums, airports, schools, institutional buildings and high traffic
retail outlets. Woven products are strategically advantaged over tufted products
in this market channel due to differentiated performance characteristics that
are more highly valued in high traffic installations.
The "Karastan Contract" and "Durkan Commercial" brands are sold into the
fashion specified channel where distinctive styling and custom product
variations are more commonly required for project work. This market channel,
almost entirely specified through architects and designers, includes end use
installations such as higher end corporate offices, law firms, boutique retail,
and high profile institutional projects. Because of the distinctive styling and
tailored pattern detail that can be achieved through the weaving process, woven
styling is highly valued among the design community.
Both the performance and fashion specified sales groups also solicit
business from large end user accounts that typically make product selections
centrally for their company through internal facilities managers and purchasing
agents.
The hospitality and lodging channel markets the "Durkan Hospitality" brand
that specializes in complex printed carpets commonly seen in higher end hotels,
resort facilities and casinos. This channel is generally specified through a
designer but ultimately sold through independent purchasing agents that
consolidate interior furnishings purchase decisions for hotel property owners.
Durkan Hospitality has historically offered a premium print product due to an
extensive pattern offering distinguished by visually sharper and cleaner color
separation in the final product.
The Company believes its ability to make woven carpet under the Mohawk
Commercial and Karastan Contract brand names in large volume for commercial
applications differentiates it from other manufacturers, most of which produce
tufted carpet almost exclusively. Woven carpet, and specifically the Company's
woven interlock products, sell at higher prices than tufted carpet and generally
produce higher profit margins. The Company believes that it is one of the
largest producers of woven carpet in the United States and that it has several
carpet weaving machines and processes that no other manufacturer has, thereby
allowing it to create carpet to meet specifications that its competitors cannot
duplicate.
The machine-made rug market is currently the fastest growing product line
of the U.S. carpet and rug industry with an annual growth rate estimated to be
approximately 5% in 2000. Much of this growth has occurred at the low-to-medium
retail price ranges. The distribution channels for the rug market primarily
include department stores, mass merchants, floorcovering stores, catalog stores,
home centers and furniture stores.
The Company's product lines include a broad array of rugs. The Karastan
brand name rugs represent the higher retail price ranges with one of the most
valued brand names in the industry and are distributed through specialty stores,
along with department and furniture stores. These are higher quality woven wool
rugs manufactured primarily on Axminster looms.
The Company emphasizes the fast growing lower retail price ranges through
the Mohawk Home Division. The rugs sold are primarily woven and tufted
polypropylene area rugs, tufted border rugs and decorative mats. These products
are distributed primarily through mass merchants and home centers under the
brands Mohawk Home and American Weavers. Mohawk Home also distributes blankets,
pillows, bedspreads and throws to mass merchants and home centers.
7
The Company also sells bath mats, washable scatter rugs and other woven
textile products to the rug market through its Townhouse, Newmark, Goodwin
Weavers and Aladdin brand names. The Aladdin products are tufted nylon and
polyester products, which are distributed through department stores and mass
merchants. Both the Townhouse and Newmark products are high-end washable cotton
bath rugs that are distributed to the luxury market of department stores,
specialty stores, and catalog businesses. The Goodwin Weavers products include
blankets, pillows, bedspreads and throws, which are distributed through catalogs
and trade shows.
Ceramic Tile Business.
The Company's ceramic tile and natural stone products are distributed
through three separate distribution channels consisting of company-operated
sales centers, independent distributors and home center retailers. The business
is organized into three strategic business units to address the specific
customer needs of each distribution channel. Each strategic business unit is
supported by a dedicated sales force.
The Company has three regional distribution centers strategically located
in California, Maryland and Texas. These centers help the Company maintain
high-quality customer service in each distribution channel by focusing on
shorter lead times, increased order fill rates and improved on-time deliveries
to its customers. In addition, these regional distribution centers enhance the
Company's ability to plan and schedule production and to manage inventory
requirements.
The Company has state-of-the-art showrooms and design centers in Atlanta,
Georgia and Dallas, Texas. These showrooms are dedicated primarily to the
residential business and provide a place for customers of local builders,
remodelers, architects, designers and contractors to view and select ceramic
tile for their building projects. The showroom is staffed with design
professionals knowledgeable in wall and floor tile applications, as well as
current design and decorating trends.
Company-Operated Sales Centers. The Company's network of over 200
company-operated sales centers located in the United States, Canada and Puerto
Rico distributes primarily the daltile brand product, serving customers in all
50 states and portions of Canada and Puerto Rico. In 2001, a majority of the
Company's ceramic tile and natural stone sales were made through
company-operated sales centers.
In addition to sales center staff, this distribution channel is supported
by approximately 131 sales associates servicing both commercial and residential
markets. The daltile brand also has a group of 44 sales representatives
dedicated exclusively to the architectural community. The architectural
community exercises significant influence over the specification of products
utilized in commercial applications.
The Company has designed each sales center to serve as a "one-stop" source
that provides customers with one of the ceramic tile industry's broadest product
lines--a complete selection of glazed floor tile, glazed wall tile, glazed and
unglazed ceramic mosaic tile, porcelain tile, quarry tile and stone products, as
well as allied products. In addition to products manufactured by the Company's
ceramic tile business, the sales centers carry a selection of products purchased
from other manufacturers to provide customers with a broader product line. The
sales centers generally range in size from 6,000 to 30,000 square feet, with a
typical center occupying approximately 12,000 square feet. The sales centers
consist of a showroom dedicated to displaying the product offerings together
with office space and a warehouse in which inventory is stocked. Sales center
displays and inventories are designed to reflect local consumer preferences. The
sales centers generally are located in light industrial areas rather than retail
areas and generally occupy moderately priced lease space under 3 to 10 year
leases.
As of March 1, 2002, the sales center distribution system included 217
Dal-Tile sales centers and five American Olean sales centers, four stone slab
operations and two residential showrooms, which provide sales and merchandising
support to the sales centers. In the future, the Company may open additional
sales centers in areas where factors such as population, construction activity,
local economic conditions and usage of tile create an attractive environment for
a sales center. From time to time, sales centers are closed in locations where
economic and competitive conditions have changed.
8
Independent Distributors. The independent distributor channel is serviced
through a dedicated business unit that includes 10 regional sales managers to
serve the particular requirements of its customers. Currently, the American
Olean brand is distributed through approximately 200 independent distributor
locations and five company-owned sales centers that service a variety of
residential and commercial customers. The Company is focused on increasing its
presence in the independent distributor channel, particularly in tile products
that are most commonly used in flooring applications.
Home-Center Retailers. The Company believes its Dal-Tile division is one of
the U.S. ceramic tile industry's largest suppliers to the do-it-yourself and
buy-it-yourself markets through home center retailers, such as The Home Depot
and Lowe's, serving more than 2,000 home center retail outlets nationwide. The
home center retailer channel has provided this segment with new sources of sales
over the past five years and is expected to continue presenting important growth
opportunities.
Brands and Marketing Programs. The Company believes that it has two of the
leading brand names in the U.S. ceramic tile industry--daltile and American
Olean. The roots of the daltile and American Olean brand names date back
approximately fifty and seventy-five years, respectively.
The company-operated sales centers distribute primarily the daltile brand,
which includes a fully integrated marketing program, emphasizing a focus on
fashion. The product offering is based on the Company's assessment of the needs
of professional installers, designers, architects and builders, as well as a
review of competitive products. The marketing program includes public relations
support, merchandising (displays/sample boards, chip chests),
literature/catalogs and an Internet website.
The American Olean brand consists of a full product offering and is
distributed primarily through independent distributors. The brand is supported
by a fully integrated marketing program, including public relations efforts,
displays, merchandising (sample boards, chip chests), literature/catalogs and an
Internet website.
Advertising and Promotion
The Company promotes its products in the form of co-operative advertising,
point-of-sale displays and marketing literature provided to assist in marketing
various carpet and ceramic tile styles. The Company also continues to rely on
the substantial brand name identification of its product lines. The cost of
producing display samples, a significant promotional expense, is partially
offset by sales of samples and support from raw materials suppliers in the
carpet and rug business.
Manufacturing and Operations
Carpet and Rugs Business. The Company's manufacturing operations are
vertically integrated and include the extrusion of resin and post-consumer
plastics into polypropylene, polyester and nylon fiber, yarn processing,
tufting, weaving, dyeing, coating and finishing. Capital expenditures are
primarily focused on increasing capacity, improving productivity and reducing
costs. Over the past three years, the Company has incurred significant capital
expenditures that have helped increase manufacturing efficiency and capacity,
and improve overall cost competitiveness.
Ceramic Tile Business. The Company operates nine tile manufacturing
facilities with an aggregate annual manufacturing capacity of 527 million square
feet. Over the past three years, the Company has invested significantly in
capital expenditures, principally for new plants and state-of-the-art fast-fire
equipment to increase manufacturing capacity, improve efficiency and develop new
capabilities. Operating capacity has expanded from 378 million square feet to
527 million square feet during the same period.
The ceramic tile business commenced operations in Mexico at the Company's
Monterrey facility in 1955 and since then has been manufacturing products at
this facility for U.S. and Mexican consumption. The Monterrey location contains
five distinct manufacturing facilities, three of which produce ceramic tile, one
of which produces frit (ground glass) and one of which produces refractories.
9
The Company believes that its manufacturing organization offers competitive
advantages due to its ability to manufacture a differentiated product line
consisting of one of the industry's broadest product offerings of colors,
textures and finishes, as well as the industry's largest offering of trim and
angle pieces and its ability to utilize the industry's newest technology. The
Company seeks to maximize production at its lowest cost manufacturing
facilities, continue ongoing improvements by implementing demonstrated best
practices and continue to invest in manufacturing technology to lower its costs
and develop new capabilities.
Raw Materials and Suppliers
Carpet and Rugs Business. The principal raw materials the carpet and rug
business uses are nylon staple fibers, nylon filament fibers, raw wool,
polypropylene filament fibers, polyester staple fibers, polypropylene, nylon and
polyester resins and post-consumer plastics, synthetic backing materials,
polyurethane and latex and various dyes and chemicals. The Company obtains all
of its major raw materials from independent sources and all of its externally
purchased nylon fibers from four major suppliers: E.I. du Pont de Nemours and
Company, Solutia, Inc., BASF Corporation and Honeywell, Inc. Most of the fibers
the Company uses in carpet production are treated with stain-resistant
chemicals. The carpet and rug business has not experienced significant shortages
of raw materials in recent years. The Company believes that the loss of any one
supplier to its carpet and rug business would not have a material effect on its
business and that an alternative supply arrangement could be made in a
relatively short period of time.
Ceramic Tile Business. In the Company's ceramic tile business, the Company
manufactures wall tile primarily from talc and clay; floor tile and glazed
mosaic tile primarily from impure nepheline syenite and clay; unglazed ceramic
tile primarily from pure nepheline syenite and clay; and unglazed quarry tile
from clay. During the fourth quarter of 1999, Dal-Tile sold its talc mining
operation, along with the related mineral rights, to Wold Talc Company, Inc. In
conjunction with the sale, Dal-Tile entered into a long-term supply agreement
for talc requirements with Wold Talc.
The Company owns long-term clay mining rights in Alabama, Kentucky and
Mississippi that satisfy nearly all of its clay requirements for producing
unglazed quarry tile. The Company purchases a number of different grades of clay
for the manufacture of its non-quarry tile. The Company believes that there is
an adequate supply of all grades of clay and that all are readily available from
a number of independent sources.
The Company purchases all of its impure nepheline syenite requirements from
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. The Company believes, however, that
there is an adequate supply of impure nepheline syenite, which can be obtained
from other sources. Pure nepheline syenite is purchased from Unimin Corporation,
which is the only major supplier of this raw material in North America. If there
were a supply interruption of pure nepheline syenite, feldspar could be used in
the production of mosaic tile. Feldspar can be purchased from a number of
sources at comparable cost to pure nepheline syenite.
Glazes are used on a significant percentage of the Company's manufactured
tile. Glazes consist of frit (ground glass), zircon, stains and other materials,
with frit being the largest ingredient. The Company manufactures approximately
56% of its frit requirements.
Competition
Carpet and Rugs Business. The carpet and rugs industry is highly
competitive. Based on industry publications, the top 20 North American carpet
and rug manufacturers (including their American and foreign divisions) in 2000
had worldwide sales in excess of $16.8 billion, and the top 20 manufacturers in
1990 had sales in excess of $6 billion. In 2000, the top five manufacturers had
worldwide sales in excess of $11.8 billion. With 2001 net sales of approximately
$3.5 billion, the Company believes it is the second largest producer of carpet
and rugs (in terms of sales volume).
Ceramic Tile Business. The Company estimates that over 100 tile
manufacturers, more than half of which are based outside the United States,
compete for sales of ceramic tile to customers located in the United States.
Although the U.S. ceramic tile industry is highly fragmented at both the
manufacturing and distribution levels, the Company believes it is the largest
manufacturer, distributor and marketer of ceramic tile in the United States and
one of the largest in the world.
10
The principal methods of competition within the carpet and rugs and ceramic
tile industries are price, style, quality and service. In each of the Company's
markets, price competition and market coverage are particularly important
because there is relatively little perceived differentiation among competing
product lines. The Company's recent investments in modernized, advanced
manufacturing and data processing equipment, the extensive diversity of
equipment in which the Company has invested and its marketing strategy
contribute to its ability to compete primarily on the basis of performance,
quality, style and service, rather than just price.
In each of the Company's carpet and rug and ceramic tile businesses, the
Company faces competition from a large number of domestic and foreign
manufacturers and independent distributors of floorcovering products. Some of
the Company's existing and potential competitors may be larger and have greater
resources and access to capital than the Company does. Maintaining the Company's
competitive position may require it to make substantial investments in its
product development efforts, manufacturing facilities, distribution network and
sales and marketing activities. Competitive pressures may also result in
decreased demand for the Company's products and in the loss of market share. In
addition, the Company faces, and will continue to face, pressure on sales prices
of its products from competitors, as well as from large customers. As a result
of any of these factors, there could be a material adverse effect on the
Company's sales and profitability.
Trademarks
The Company uses several trademarks that it considers important in the
marketing of its products, including "Aladdin," "American Olean(R)," "Alexander
Smith(R)," "Bigelow(R)," "Bigelow Commercial," "Custom Weave" "daltile(R),"
"Dal-Monte," "Durkan Commercial," "Durkan Patterned Carpets," "Goodwin Weavers,"
"Helios(R)," "Home Source," "Horizon(R)," "Karastan(R)," "Karastan Contract,"
"Mohawk(R)," "Mohawk ColorCenter(R)," "Mohawk Commercial," "Mohawk Floorscape,"
"Mohawk Home," "Tommy Mohawk(R)," "Townhouse(R)," "World(R)" and "WundaWeve(R)."
Sales Terms and Major Customers
The Company's sales terms are the same as those generally available
throughout the industry. The Company generally permits its customers to return
broadloom carpet and ceramic tile purchased from it within 30 days from the date
of sale if the customer is not satisfied with the quality of the product. This
return policy is consistent with the Company's emphasis on quality, style and
performance and promotes customer satisfaction without generating enough returns
to affect materially its operating results or financial position.
During 2001, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of Mohawk's
total net sales. The Company believes the loss of one or a few major customers
would not have a material adverse effect on its business.
Employees
As of March 1, 2002, after the merger with Dal-Tile, the Company employed
approximately 31,350 persons, of which approximately 700 of its employees in the
United States and approximately 3,000 of its employees in Mexico are members of
unions. Other than with respect to these employees, the Company is not a party
to any collective bargaining agreements. Additionally, the Company has not
experienced any strikes or work stoppages for over 20 years. The Company
believes that its relations with its employees are good.

_______________
(1) Include renewal options exercisable by the Company.
The Company's properties are in good condition and adequate for its
requirements. The Company also believes its principal plants are generally
adequate to meet its production plans pursuant to its long-term sales goals. In
the ordinary course of its business, the Company monitors the condition of its
facilities to ensure that they remain adequate to meet long-term sales goals and
production plans.
Item 3. 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. The Company has reached an agreement to settle the lawsuits and is in the
process of finalizing documentation to be presented to the court for approval.
The settlement amount has been recorded in accrued expenses.
13
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign
environmental health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing
air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, storage, treatment and disposal
of solid and hazardous materials, and the cleanup of contamination associated
therewith. Because of the nature of the Company's business, the Company has
incurred, and will continue to incur, costs relating to compliance with such
laws and regulations. The Company is involved in various proceedings relating to
environmental matters and is currently engaged in environmental investigation,
remediation and post-closure care programs at certain sites. The Company has
provided reserves for such activities that it has determined to be both probable
and reasonably estimable. The Company does not expect that the ultimate
liability with respect to such activities will have a material adverse effect on
it.
Two sites near Mohawk's Dallas facility in its Dal-Tile division are
involved in Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") Part B post-closure
care cleanup projects proceeding under the oversight of the Texas Natural
Resource Conservation Commission ("TNRCC"). In 1991, Dal-Tile and the
predecessor to the TNRCC agreed to an administrative order (the "1991 Order")
relating principally to the disposal by Dal-Tile of waste materials containing
lead compounds in a gravel pit ("Elam") near the City of Mesquite's landfill in
Dallas County and at a Dal-Tile-operated landfill located on Pleasant Run Road
("Pleasant Run") in Dallas County. Dal-Tile's closure plans for Elam and
Pleasant Run were approved by the TNRCC, and remediation and other activities
associated with the closures implemented. The TNRCC issued post-closure care
permits for Elam and Pleasant Run in 2000. The Company expects to incur future
costs in connection with post-closure at Elam and Pleasant Run. The Company
believes that any such amounts will not have a material adverse effect on it.
In October 1994, Dal-Tile, Master-Halco, Inc. ("Master-Halco") (a
manufacturing company not affiliated with Dal-Tile), certain third party
individuals and the TNRCC agreed to an administrative order (the "1994 Order")
relating to, among other things, investigation and remediation in connection
with the alleged disposal of waste materials containing lead compounds at a
gravel pit on Kleburg Road ("Walton") in Dallas. Pursuant to the 1994 Order,
among other things, an administrative penalty of $213,200 was deferred pending
timely and satisfactory completion of the requirements in the 1994 Order.
Dal-Tile has completed certain required remediation and closure activities and
in 2000 submitted a Closure Certification Report to the TNRCC for approval.
Approval of the Closure Certification Report was received in June 2001. The
TNRCC has informed the Company that a formal Post Closure Care Permit is not
required. The Company is now performing Post Closure activities of the Walton
site and expects to incur future costs in connection with this activity. The
Company believes that any such amounts will not have a material adverse effect
on it.
Dal-Tile has reported that the Texas environmental proceedings described
above followed a related criminal investigation which led to the indictments
and, in 1993, the convictions of a former owner and a former officer of Dal-Tile
on federal charges of violating environmental laws, and that the U.S. Attorney's
Office for the Northern District of Texas, which obtained the indictments,
informed Dal-Tile on April 22, 1992 that, based on information in their
possession, it had decided not to prosecute Dal-Tile for violations of
environmental criminal statutes.
Dal-Tile has been named as a potentially responsible party under the
federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
("CERCLA") and similar state statutes with respect to the disposal of certain
hazardous substances at various other sites in the United States including,
without limitation, the Salford Quarry Superfund Site and the North Penn 6
Superfund Site. Based on currently available information, the Company believes
that the ultimate allocation of costs associated with the investigation and
remediation of these pending sites will not, in the aggregate, have a material
adverse effect on it.
Numerous aspects of the Company's manufacturing operations require
expenditures for environmental compliance. For example, the manufacture of
carpet and tile require expenditures for compliance with laws and regulations
governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, and the generation of solid and
hazardous waste. Many of these manufacturing processes also require expenditures
in order to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA")
regulations with respect to potential employee exposure including operations
that result in the accumulation of dust that contains silica. Expenditures
required for compliance activities associated with environmental and OSHA
compliance have not had, and are not expected to have, a material adverse effect
on the Company.
14
In addition, in light of the lengthy manufacturing history of the Company's
facilities, it is possible that additional environmental issues and related
matters may arise relating to past activities which the Company cannot now
reliably predict, including tort liability and liability under environmental
laws. For example, a number of the Company's facilities in the Dal-Tile division
located in the United States used lead compounds in glaze materials. The
Company's Mexican facilities continue to use lead compounds in their glaze
materials on certain specially ordered tiles. Significant exposure to lead
compounds may have adverse health effects. Although it is impossible to quantify
the Company's liability, if any, in respect of these matters, including
liability to individuals exposed to lead compounds, no claims relating to use of
lead compounds or waste disposal matters are pending against it except as set
forth above. In addition, the Company cannot now reliably predict the effect
which future environmental regulation in the United States, Mexico and Canada
could have on it.
As a result of a voluntary audit, the air operating permits for three of
Mohawk's facilities in its Dal-Tile division located in Texas are in the process
of being modified and voluntary Compliance Agreements with the TNRCC have been
entered into. In conjunction with this activity, it was determined that air
pollution control equipment will be required for certain emission sources at the
Dallas and El Paso facilities. Further, in November 2001 the TNRCC issued a
Notice of Violation ("NOV") to the El Paso facility alleging failure to install
air pollution control equipment during a recent expansion. The NOV will be
addressed as part of the permit modification process for the El Paso facility.
The Company believes the expenditures associated with obtaining the permit
modifications in Texas, including installation of the air pollution control
equipment, will not have a material adverse effect on it.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders of the Company
during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2001.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
General
During the three-year period ended December 31, 2001, the Company continued
to experience growth both internally and through acquisitions.
On January 29, 1999, the Company acquired certain assets of Image for
approximately $192 million, including acquisition costs and the assumption of
$30 million of tax-exempt debt, and on March 9, 1999, the Company acquired all
of the outstanding capital stock of Durkan for approximately 3.1 million shares
of the Company's common stock valued at $116.5 million based on the closing
stock price the day the letter of intent was executed. The Image acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and the Durkan
acquisition was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting.
On November 14, 2000, the Company acquired certain assets of Crown Crafts.
Under the agreement, the Company paid approximately $37 million in cash for
substantially all of the fixed assets and inventory of the division. The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
On March 20, 2002, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of Dal-Tile International Inc. ("Dal-Tile") for a purchase price of
approximately $1,545 million, consisting of approximately 12.9 million shares of
the Company's common stock, options to purchase approximately 2.1 million shares
of the Company's common stock and $720 million in cash. The Company's common
stock and options were valued at $825 million based on the measurement date
stock price. The transaction will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting
These acquisitions have created opportunities to enhance the Company's
operations by (i) broadening price points, (ii) increasing vertical integration
efforts, (iii) expanding distribution capabilities and (iv) facilitating entry
into niche businesses, such as rugs, decorative throws, bedspreads, coverlets
and ceramic tile.
Effective November 1, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with
Congoleum Corporation, Inc., to become a national distributor of their vinyl
products. This agreement gave the Company access to a complete line of soft and
hard floorcovering products to supply to customers throughout the United
States.
The primary categories of the floorcovering industry include carpet and
rugs (63%), ceramic tile (11%), vinyl and rubber (14%), hardwood (8%) and
laminate (4%). Compound average growth rates in units (measured in square yards)
for each of these categories for the period from 1992 through 2000 have exceeded
Gross Domestic Product of the United States over the same period. During this
period, the compound average growth rate was 4.4% for carpet and rugs, 10.6% for
ceramic tile, 5.0% for vinyl and rubber and 9.1% for hardwood. Laminate, which
is a relatively new product, experienced a compound average growth rate of 39.9%
from 1996 through 2000. Although beginning from a smaller base, the growth rates
for hard floorcoverings may indicate increasing consumer preference for these
products for certain applications. In response to this increasing demand, the
Company has increased its distribution of hard surface products, including
ceramic tile, vinyl, hardwood and laminate. The acquisition of Dal-Tile provides
a unique opportunity to help the Company achieve its strategic goal of becoming
one of the world's leading floorcovering manufacturers and distributors.
The Company considers its most critical accounting policies to include its
accounts receivable and revenue recognition, inventories and income tax policies
because they are most important to the Company's financial condition and results
of operations and involve difficult subjective or complex judgments. Revenues
are recognized when goods are shipped, which is when the legal title passes to
the customer. The Company provides allowances for expected cash discounts,
returns, claims and doubtful accounts based upon historical bad debt and claims
experience and periodic evaluation of the aging of accounts receivable.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value).
Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method, which matches
current costs with current revenues, for substantially all inventories and the
first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method for the remaining inventories. Income taxes
are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the
19
years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the
tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment
date.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2001 as Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $3,445.9 million,
reflecting an increase of $41.9 million, or approximately 1.2%, over the
$3,404.0 million reported in the year ended December 31, 2000. The Company
believes that the 2001 net sales increase was attributable primarily to internal
growth in carpet, rugs, padding and hard surface products.
Quarterly net sales and the percentage changes in net sales by quarter for
2001 versus 2000 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
2001 2000 Change
---------------- ---------------- ------------
First quarter.......................... $ 777,339 799,403 (2.8)%
Second quarter......................... 864,958 890,980 (2.9)
Third quarter.......................... 907,850 875,765 3.7
Fourth quarter......................... 895,798 837,886 6.9
---------------- ---------------- ------------
Total year...................... $ 3,445,945 3,404,034 1.2 %
================ ================ ============
Gross profit was $832.9 million (24.2% of net sales) for 2001 and $822.8
million (24.2% of net sales) for 2000. Gross profit dollars for 2001 were
impacted by favorable material and fuel costs and an improved product mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2001 were $505.7 million
(14.7% of net sales) compared to $505.7 million (14.9% of net sales) for 2000.
Interest expense for 2001 was $29.8 million compared to $38.0 million in
2000. The primary factors contributing to the decrease were lower debt levels
compared to 2000.
Income tax expense for 2001 was $102.8 million or 35.3% of earnings before
income taxes. In 2000, income tax expense was $105.0 million, representing 39.2%
of earnings before income taxes. The reduction in the effective income tax rate
was primarily due to tax credits and other tax strategies.
Year Ended December 31, 2000 as Compared with Year Ended December 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $3,404.0 million,
reflecting an increase of $192.4 million, or approximately 6%, over the $3,211.6
million reported in the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company believes that
the 2000 net sales increase was attributable primarily to internal growth.
Quarterly net sales and the percentage changes in net sales by quarter for
2000 versus 1999 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
2000 1999 Change
---------------- ---------------- ------------
First quarter.......................... $ 799,403 732,536 9.1 %
Second quarter......................... 890,980 825,623 7.9
Third quarter.......................... 875,765 842,870 3.9

Gross profit was $822.8 million (24.2% of net sales) for 2000 and $776.9
million (24.2% of net sales) for 1999. Gross profit dollars for 2000 were
impacted by favorable product mix and the change in depreciable lives of fixed
assets as of the beginning of the year and offset by higher material and fuel
costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2000 were $505.7 million
(14.9% of net sales) compared to $482.1 million (15% of net sales) for 1999.
In the third quarter of 2000, the Company reached an agreement in principle
to settle two antitrust class actions. The Company contributed $13.5 million to
a settlement fund to resolve these claims. The court approved the settlement on
February 5, 2001. During the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a
charge of $7 million in connection with the settlement. This amount was in
addition to $6.5 million accrued in earlier periods.
Interest expense for 2000 was $38.0 million compared to $32.6 million in
1999. The primary factors contributing to the increase were higher debt levels,
attributable to the stock repurchase program and capital expenditures, and an
increase in the weighted average borrowing rate compared to 1999.
In 2000, income tax expense was $105.0 million, or 39.2% of earnings before
income taxes. In 1999, income tax expense was $102.7 million, representing 39.5%
of earnings before income taxes.
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 primarily
through a combination of internally generated funds, bank credit lines, term and
senior notes, the sale of receivables and credit terms from suppliers.
The level of accounts receivable increased from $358.8 million at the
beginning of 2001 to $404.9 million at December 31, 2001. The $46.1 million
increase was primarily attributable to strong sales growth. Inventories
decreased from $574.6 million at the beginning of 2001 to $531.4 million at
December 31, 2001, due primarily to improved inventory management.
The outstanding checks in excess of cash represent trade payables checks
that have not yet cleared the bank. When the checks clear the bank, they are
funded by the revolving credit facility. This policy does not impact any liquid
assets on the balance sheet.
Capital expenditures totaled $52.9 million during 2001. The capital
expenditures made during 2001 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 expenditures, including $199.3 million for acquisitions, have
totaled $471.3 million over the past three years. Capital spending during 2002
for both Mohawk and Dal-Tile combined, excluding acquisitions, is expected to
range from $125 million to $145 million, and will be used primarily to purchase
equipment to increase production capacity and productivity.
The Company's revolving credit agreement provides for an interest rate of
either (i) LIBOR plus 0.2% to 0.5%, depending upon the Company's performance
measured against certain financial ratios, or (ii) the prime rate less 1.0%, and
has a termination date of January 28, 2004. At December 31, 2001, the Company
had credit facilities of $450 million under its revolving credit line and $70
million under various short-term uncommitted credit lines. All of these lines
are unsecured. At December 31, 2001, a total of approximately $449 million was
unused under these lines. The credit agreement contains customary financial and
other covenants. The Company must pay an annual facility fee ranging from .0015
to .0025 of the total credit commitment, depending upon the Company's
performance measured against specific coverage ratios, under the revolving
credit line.
On October 25, 2000, the Company entered into a 364-day revolving asset
financing securitization agreement enabling the Company to sell up to $205
million of an undivided interest in a defined pool of trade accounts receivable.
The agreement, which has been recorded as an on-balance sheet financing
transaction, may be extended in one-year terms and has been extended to October
24, 2002. The Company believes the securitization program provides a low cost of
financing and is an additional source of debt capital with diversification from
other alternatives. The Company sold an initial ownership interest in a defined
pool of trade
21
accounts receivable. As collections reduce the pool, the Company sells
participating interests in new receivables to bring the amount in the pool up to
the maximum permitted under the agreement. The receivables are sold at a
discount, which approximates the purchasers' financing cost of the program.
Receivables secured under the agreement were $461.1 million and $381.7 million
at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The net proceeds were used to
reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Interest rates under the
facility vary with the commercial paper rates for the Blue Ridge Asset Funding
Corporation plus an applicable margin.
The Company's debt structure also includes a combination of variable rate
industrial revenue bonds and fixed rate term notes and senior notes with
interest rates ranging from 2.87% up to 8.48%. The industrial revenue bonds
mature beginning in 2004 through 2019 and the term and senior notes mature
through 2005. The industrial revenue bonds are backed by unsecured letters of
credit. The term and senior notes are also unsecured. The aggregate principal
amount of industrial revenue bonds, term and senior notes was $149.5 million at
December 31, 2001.
On January 3, 2001, the Company entered into a five-year interest rate
swap, which converted a notional amount of approximately $100 million of its
variable rate debt to a fixed rate. Under the agreement, payments are made based
on a fixed rate of 5.82% and received on a LIBOR based variable rate.
Differentials received or paid under the agreement will be recognized as
interest expense.
The Company's Board of Directors previously authorized the repurchase of up
to 15 million shares of its outstanding common stock. Management believes that
there are times when the repurchase of the Company's common stock provides a
more attractive return on investment of the Company's resources than other
investment alternatives. The Company may repurchase stock from time to time when
conditions and circumstances warrant. 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 repurchases have been financed through
the Company's operations and revolving line of credit.
The total amount of cash and borrowings required to complete the Mohawk and
Dal-Tile merger, including the cash merger consideration, payment in respect of
the maximum cash-out of one-half of the Dal-Tile options, refinancing or
assuming the existing indebtedness of Dal-Tile and transaction fees and
expenses, was approximately $911 million. The Company has entered into a 364-day
term loan facility permitting the Company to borrow up to $700 million (the
"bridge credit facility") under which the Company has borrowed $600 million to
finance a portion of the merger costs. The bridge credit facility provides for
an interest rate of either (i) LIBOR plus 1.375% to 2.0% or (ii) the prime rate
plus 0% to 2% based upon certain conditions. The bridge credit facility is
unsecured and contains customary financial and other covenants. The remaining
$311 million of financing needs associated with the merger were met using
approximately (i) $126 million under the Company's revolving credit facility,
(ii) $110 million under the Company's on-balance sheet asset financing
securitization facility and (iii) the assumption of Dal-Tile's existing $75
million on-balance sheet receivables securitization facility.
The Company's total financing needs at the closing of the Dal-Tile merger
were approximately $1,224 million. The Company has currently addressed these
financing needs using a combination of approximately (i) $600 million of the
bridge credit facility, (ii) $194 million of its revolving credit facility,
(iii) $205 million of its on-balance sheet asset financing securitization, (iv)
$75 million of an on-balance sheet receivables securitization facility of
Dal-Tile, and (v) $150 million of the Company's existing industrial revenue
bonds, term notes and senior notes. Approximately $223 million of the Company's
revolving credit facility and $44 million of various short-term uncommitted
credit lines remain unused immediately after closing the merger. The Company
intends to replace Dal-Tile's existing $75 million receivables securitization
facility with a new $100 million receivables securitization facility through a
multi-selling conduit. In addition, the Company intends to refinance the bridge
credit facility prior to the twelfth business day following the closing of the
merger. A failure to repay the bridge credit facility within such 12 business
day period will subject the Company to an additional fee of $3.5 million under
the bridge credit facility.
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
22
accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
SFAS No. 142 requires 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 was required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 141 effective
June 30, 2001, and SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Furthermore, any
goodwill 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 is no longer being amortized after December 31,
2001.
The Company has evaluated its existing goodwill that was acquired in prior
purchase business combinations for impairment and has concluded that no
adjustment to the Company's consolidated financial statements is required.
In April 2001, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 00-25 "Vendor Income
Statement Characterization of Consideration to a Purchaser of the Vendors
Products or Services." This issuance provides guidance primarily on income
statement classification of consideration from a vendor to a purchaser of the
vendor's products. Generally, cash consideration is to be classified as a
reduction of revenue, unless specific criteria are met regarding goods or
services that the vendor may receive in return for this consideration. The
Company believes that its current accounting policies are in conformity with
EITF 00-25, and does not believe that EITF 00-25 will have a material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 provides new guidance
on the recognition and measurement of an asset retirement obligation and its
associated asset retirement cost. It also provides accounting guidance for legal
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. SFAS
No. 143 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning in 2003 and is not
expected to materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No.
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 discontinued operations and how the results of discontinued
operations are to be measured and presented. SFAS No. 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 was permitted under the previous accounting principles.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation affects the Company's manufacturing costs and operating expenses.
The carpet and tile industry has experienced inflation in the prices of raw
materials and fuel-related costs. In the past, the Company has generally passed
along these price increases to its customers and has been able to enhance
productivity to offset increases in costs resulting from inflation in both the
United States and Mexico.
Seasonality
The Company is a calendar year-end company and its results of operations
for the first quarter tend to be the weakest. The second, third and fourth
quarters typically produce higher net sales and operating income. These results
are primarily due to consumer residential spending patterns for floorcovering
which historically have decreased during the first two months of each year
following the holiday season.
Certain factors affecting the Company's performance
In addition to the other information provided in this Form 10-K, the
following risk factors should be considered when evaluating an investment in
shares of Mohawk common stock.
23
If any of the events described in these risks were to occur, it could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
The failure to integrate Mohawk and Dal-Tile successfully by managing the
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
challenges of that integration may result in the Company not achieving the
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
anticipated potential benefits of the merger.
- --------------------------------------------
The Company will face challenges in consolidating functions, integrating
its organizations, procedures, operations and product lines in a timely and
efficient manner and retaining key personnel.
These challenges will result principally because the two companies
currently:
. maintain executive offices in different locations;
. manufacture and sell different types of products through
different distribution channels;
. conduct their businesses from various locations;
. maintain different operating systems and software on different
computer hardware; and
. have different employment and compensation arrangements for their
employees.
In addition, Dal-Tile has a significant manufacturing operation in Mexico,
and the Company has not previously operated a manufacturing facility outside of
the United States. As a result, the integration will be complex and will require
additional attention from members of management. The diversion of management
attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration
process could have a material adverse effect on the Company's revenues, level of
expenses and operating results.
The floorcovering industry is cyclical and prolonged declines in residential or
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
commercial construction activity could have a material adverse effect on the
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company's business.
- ------------------
The U.S. floorcovering industry is highly dependent on residential and
commercial construction activity, including new construction as well as
remodeling. New construction activity and remodeling to a lesser degree, are
cyclical in nature and a prolonged decline in residential or commercial
construction activity could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. Construction activity
is significantly affected by numerous factors, all of which are beyond the
Company's control, including:
. national and local economic conditions;
. interest rates;
. housing demand;
. employment levels;
. changes in disposable income;
. financing availability;
. commercial rental vacancy rates;
. federal and state income tax policies; and
. consumer confidence.
The U.S. construction industry has experienced significant downturns in the
past, which have adversely affected suppliers to the industry, including
suppliers of floorcoverings. The industry could experience similar downturns in
the future, which could have a negative impact on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
The Company faces intense competition in its industry, which could decrease
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
demand for its products and could have a material adverse effect on its
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
profitability.
- -------------
The industry is highly competitive. The Company faces competition from a
large number of domestic and foreign manufacturers and independent distributors
of floorcovering products. Some of its existing and potential competitors may be
larger and have greater resources and access to capital than it does.
Maintaining the Company's competitive position may require it to make
substantial investments in its product development efforts, manufacturing
facilities, distribution network and sales and marketing activities. Competitive
pressures may also result in decreased demand for its products and in the loss
of market share. In addition, the Company faces, and will continue to face,
pressure on sales prices of its products from competitors, as well as from large
24
customers. As a result of any of these factors, there could be a material
adverse effect on the Company's sales and profitability.
A failure to identify suitable acquisition candidates, to complete acquisitions
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and to integrate successfully the acquired operations could have a material
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
adverse effect on the Company's business.
- ----------------------------------------
As part of its business strategy, the Company intends to pursue
acquisitions of complementary businesses. Although it regularly evaluates
acquisition opportunities, it may not be able to:
. successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates;
. obtain sufficient financing on acceptable terms to fund
acquisitions;
. complete acquisitions; or
. profitably manage acquired businesses.
Acquired operations may not achieve levels of sales, operating income or
productivity comparable to those of its 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 and adverse effect on the Company's
business, results of operations and financial condition, including, among
others:
. the Company's inability to integrate operations, systems and
procedures and to eliminate redundancies and excess costs
effectively;
. diversion of management's attention and resources; and
. difficulty retaining and training acquired key personnel.
The Company may be unable to obtain raw materials on a timely basis, which could
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
have a material adverse effect on its business.
- ----------------------------------------------
The Company's business is dependent upon a continuous supply of raw
materials from third party suppliers. The principal raw materials used in its
manufacturing operations include: nylon fiber and polypropylene resin, which are
used exclusively in its carpet and rug business; talc, clay, impure nepheline
syenite, pure nepheline syenite and various glazes, including frit (ground
glass), zircon and stains, which are used exclusively in its ceramic tile
business; and other materials. The Company purchases all of its impure nepheline
syenite requirements from Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company and all of
its pure nepheline syenite requirements from Unimin Corporation. Unimin is the
only major supplier of pure nepheline syenite in North America. An extended
interruption in the supply of these or other raw materials used in the Company's
business or in the supply of suitable substitute materials would disrupt the
Company's operations, which could have a material adverse effect on its
business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company may be unable to pass on to its customers increases in the costs of
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
raw materials and energy, which could have a material adverse effect on its
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
profitability.
- -------------
Significant increases in the costs of raw materials and natural gas used in
the manufacture of the Company's products could have a material adverse effect
on its operating margins and its business, financial condition and results of
operations. The Company purchases nylon fiber, polypropylene resin, talc, clay,
impure nepheline syenite, pure nepheline syenite, frit, zircon, stains and other
materials from third party suppliers. The cost of some of these materials, like
nylon and polypropylene resin, is related to oil prices. The Company also
purchases significant amounts of natural gas to supply the energy required in
some of its production processes. The prices of these raw materials and of
natural gas vary with market conditions. Although the Company generally attempts
to pass on increases in the costs of raw materials and natural gas to its
customers, the Company's ability to do so is, to a large extent, dependent upon
the rate and magnitude of any increase, competitive pressures and market
conditions for its products. There have been in the past, and may be in the
future, periods of time during which increases in these costs cannot be
recovered. During such periods of time, there could be a material adverse effect
on the Company's profitability.
25
The Company has been, and in the future may be subject to claims and liabilities
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
under environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, which could be
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
significant.
- -----------
The Company's operations are subject to various federal, state, local and
foreign environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those
governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, and the use, storage, treatment
and disposal of hazardous materials. The applicable requirements under these
laws are subject to amendment, to the imposition of new or additional
requirements and to changing interpretations of agencies or courts. New or
additional requirements could be imposed, and the Company could incur material
expenditures to comply with new or existing regulations.
The nature of the Company's operations and previous operations by others at
real property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Company and the
disposal of waste at third party sites exposes the Company to the risk of claims
under environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. The Company could
incur material costs or liabilities in connection with such claims. The Company
has been, and will continue to be, subject to these claims.
The discovery of presently unknown environmental conditions, changes in
environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, enforcement of existing
or new requirements or other unanticipated events could give rise to
expenditures and liabilities, including fines or penalties, that could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results or
financial condition.
The Company relies on its Monterrey, Mexico plant for a significant portion of
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
its ceramic tile manufacturing capacity and any disruption in the plant's
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
operations could negatively affect the Company's business.
- ---------------------------------------------------------
The Company's Monterrey, Mexico manufacturing facility represents a
significant portion of the Company's total manufacturing capacity for ceramic
tile. This facility contains five distinct manufacturing plants, three of which
produce ceramic tile, one of which produces frit used in the production of
manufactured tile and one of which produces refractories. Any disruption in the
operations of this facility could result in a material adverse effect on the
Company's ceramic tile business and the Company's operations as a whole.
Changes in international trade laws and in the business, political and
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
regulatory environment in Mexico could have a material adverse effect on the
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company's business.
- ------------------
The Company's operations in Mexico include its Monterrey facility.
Accordingly, an event that has a material adverse impact on the Company's
Mexican operations could have a material adverse effect on its operations as a
whole. The business, regulatory and political environments in Mexico differ from
those in the United States, and the Company's Mexican operations are exposed to
a number of inherent risks, including:
. changes in international trade laws, such as the North American
Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, affecting the Company's import
and export activities in Mexico;
. changes in Mexican labor laws and regulations affecting the
Company's ability to hire and retain employees in Mexico;
. currency exchange restrictions and fluctuations in the value of
foreign currency;
. potentially adverse tax consequences;
. local laws concerning repatriation of profits;
. political conditions in Mexico;
. unexpected changes in the regulatory environment in Mexico; and
. changes in general economic conditions in Mexico.
Future exchange rate fluctuations or inflation could have a material adverse
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
effect on the Company's results of operations.
- ---------------------------------------------
The Company's Mexican facility, which is considered an extension of its
U.S. operations, primarily provides ceramic tile to the Company's U.S.
distribution network, and to a more limited extent, sells ceramic tile in
Mexico. The facility has more peso-denominated expenses than revenues. This
means that the Company realizes a benefit when the peso devalues against the
U.S. dollar, although this benefit may be offset by Mexican
26
inflation. Any future increases in the Mexican inflation rate, which are not
offset by devaluation of the peso, may negatively impact the Company's results
of operations. The Mexican peso has been and may in the future be, subject to
significant fluctuations. To the extent that the peso appreciates against the
U.S. dollar, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
The Company could face increased competition as a result of the General
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and the North American Free Trade Agreement.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
The United States is party to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
("GATT"). Under GATT, the United States currently imposes import duties on
ceramic tile imported from countries outside North America at no more than 13%,
to be reduced ratably to no less than 8.5% by 2004. Accordingly, as these duties
decrease, GATT may stimulate competition from manufacturers in these countries,
which now export, or may seek to export, ceramic tile to the United States. The
Company is uncertain what effect GATT may have on its operations.
The North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") was entered into by
Canada, Mexico and the United States and over a transition period will remove
most customs duties imposed on goods traded among the three countries. In
addition, NAFTA will remove or limit many investment restrictions, liberalize
trade in services, provide a specialized means for settlement of, and remedies
for, trade disputes arising under its laws and will result in new laws and
regulations to further these goals. Although NAFTA lowers the tariffs imposed on
the Company's ceramic tile manufactured in Mexico and sold in the United States,
it may also stimulate competition in the United States and Canada from
manufacturers located in Mexico, which could negatively affect the Company's
business.
Forward-Looking Information
Certain of the matters discussed in the preceding pages, particularly
regarding anticipation of 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 and Section 21E of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, 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, ceramic tile and other
floorcovering markets served by Mohawk; the successful integration of Dal-Tile
into Mohawk's business; competition from other carpet, rug, ceramic tile and
floorcovering manufacturers; raw material prices; declines in residential or
commercial construction activity; 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 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 7A. 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 December 31, 2001, the Company held
one interest rate swap agreement under which the Company pays a fixed percent of
interest times the notional principal amount of $100 million and receives in
return an amount equal to a specified variable rate of interest times the same
notional principal amount. The
27
fixed interest rate per the agreement is 5.82%, which expires January 2, 2006.
The average rate as of December 31, 2001 was 4.0%. This agreement is considered
highly effective as of December 31, 2001. The cumulative fair value of the
agreement as of December 31, 2001 was a liability of $2.8 million, net of taxes,
which was recorded in long-term liabilities with the offset to other
comprehensive loss, net of applicable income taxes.

MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
(In thousands, except per share data)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mohawk
Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Mohawk"). All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
On March 9, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of Durkan Patterned Carpets, Inc. ("Durkan") for 3,150 shares of the Company's
common stock ("Durkan Merger"). The historical consolidated financial statements
have been restated to give retroactive effect to the Durkan Merger. The Durkan
Merger was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and 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.
(b) Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition
The Company is principally a broadloom carpet and rug manufacturer and
sells carpet, rugs and other floorcovering materials throughout the United
States principally for residential use. The Company grants credit to customers,
most of whom are retail carpet dealers, under credit terms that are customary in
the industry.
Revenues are recognized when goods are shipped which is when the legal
title passes to the customer. The Company provides allowances for expected cash
discounts, returns, claims and doubtful accounts based upon historical bad debt
and claims experience and periodic evaluations of the aging of the accounts
receivable.
(c) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable
value). Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, which
matches current costs with current revenues, for substantially all inventories
and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for the remaining inventories.
(d) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, including interest on
funds borrowed to finance the acquisition or construction of major capital
additions. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the
estimated remaining useful lives, which are 35 years for buildings and
improvements, 15 years for extrusion equipment, 10 years for tufting equipment,
the life of the lease for leasehold improvements, five years for vehicles and
seven years for other equipment, and furniture and fixtures.
(e) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
35
MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
(f) Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and long-term debt. The carrying
amount of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses
approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of such
instruments. Interest rates that are currently available to the Company for
issuance of long-term debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used
to estimate the fair value of the Company's long-term debt. The estimated fair
value of the Company's long-term debt at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $311,617
and $590,786, compared to a carrying amount of $308,433 and $589,828,
respectively.
(g) Derivative Instruments
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," ("SFAS No.133") and its amendments which require the Company to
recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that
are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative
is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in its fair value are
either offset against the change in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm
commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until
the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The Company engages in activities
that expose it to market risks, including the effects of changes in interest
rates. Financial exposures are managed as an integral part of the Company's risk
management program, which seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effect that
the volatility of the interest rate market may have on operating results. The
Company does not regularly engage in speculative transactions, nor does it
regularly hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. There was no
impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption of SFAS No.133.
The Company maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that uses
interest rate swaps to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations
caused by volatility in interest rates. The Company formally documents all
hedging instruments and hedging items, as well as its risk management objective
and strategy for undertaking hedged items. This process includes linking all
derivatives that are designated as fair value and cash flow hedges to specific
assets or liabilities on the balance sheet or to forecasted transactions. The
Company also formally assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing basis,
whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly
effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of hedged items.
When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective, the derivative
expires, or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or the derivative is discontinued
because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur, the Company
discontinues hedge accounting for that specific hedge instrument.
(h) Fiscal Year
The Company ends its fiscal year on December 31. Each of the first three
quarters in the fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest the calendar quarter
end.
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill arises in connection with business combinations accounted for as
purchases. Goodwill is amortized primarily on a straight-line basis over 40
years. Amortization charged to earnings was $3,209 in 2001, $3,184 in 2000 and
$2,808 in 1999. Accumulated amortization was $19,564 and $16,355 at December 31,
2001 and 2000, respectively. Goodwill increased in 2000 by $2,000 as a result of
an earnout payment made to the former owners of Newmark & James, a company
acquired in 1998, after certain earnings thresholds were reached by Newmark &
James.
36
MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(j) Advertising Costs
Advertising and promotion expenses are charged to earnings during the
period in which they are incurred. Advertising and promotion expenses included
in selling, administrative and general expenses were $28,845 in 2001, $25,526 in
2000 and $25,152 in 1999.
(k) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the
provisions of FAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. Under FAS No. 121, the Company
evaluates impairment of long-lived assets on a business unit basis, rather than
on an aggregate entity basis, whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the
sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of an
impairment loss for long-lived assets is based on the fair value of the asset.
(l) Earnings per Share ("EPS")
The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") FAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires companies to present
basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.
Dilutive common stock options are included in the diluted EPS calculation
using the treasury stock method. Common stock options that were not included in
the diluted EPS computation because the options' exercise price was greater than
the average market price of the common shares for the periods presented are
immaterial.

(m) Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2001, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 00-25 "Vendor Income
Statement Characterization of Consideration to a Purchaser of the Vendors
Products or Services." This issuance provides guidance primarily on income
statement classification of consideration from a vendor to a purchaser of the
vendor's products. Generally, cash consideration is to be classified as a
reduction of net sales, unless specific criteria are met regarding goods or
services that the vendor may receive in return for this consideration. The
Company believes that its current accounting policies are in conformity with
EITF 00-25, and does not believe that EITF 00-25 will have a material effect on
its consolidated financial statements. The Company makes various payments to
customers, including slotting fees, advertising allowances, buydowns and co-op
advertising. All of these payments reduce gross sales with the exception of
co-op advertising. Co-op advertising is classified as a selling, general and
administrative expense. Co-op advertising expenses were $11,803 in 2001, $11,570
in 2000 and $9,603 in 1999.
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 was required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 141 effective
June 30, 2001, and SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Furthermore, any
goodwill 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 is no longer being amortized after December 31,
2001.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 provides new guidance
on the recognition and measurement of an asset retirement obligation and its
associated asset retirement cost. It also provides accounting guidance for legal
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. SFAS
No. 143 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning in 2003 and is not
expected to materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No.
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 discontinued operations and how the results of discontinued
operations are to be measured and presented. SFAS No. 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 previous accounting principles.
(n) Shipping and Handling Costs
The Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on issue EITF
00-10 in September 2000, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs."
The Company has analyzed the implications EITF 00-10 and accordingly,
re-classified shipping and handling costs from net sales to cost of sales. The
impact of this reclassification was to increase net sales and cost of sales by
$148,921, $148,188 and $128,311 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
(o) Reclassifications
Certain prior period financial statement balances have been reclassified to
conform with the current period's classification.
(2) Acquisitions
On January 29, 1999, the Company acquired certain assets of Image
Industries, Inc. ("Image") for approximately $192,000, including acquisition
costs and the assumption of $30,000 of tax-exempt debt. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the
purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The estimated
fair values were $205,366 for assets acquired and $42,903 for liabilities
assumed.
On March 9, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of Durkan for approximately 3,150 shares of the Company's common stock valued at
$116,500 based on the closing price the day the letter of intent was executed.
The Durkan acquisition has been accounted for under the pooling-of-interests
method of accounting and, accordingly, the Company's historical consolidated
financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and results of
operations of Durkan.
On November 14, 2000, the Company acquired certain fixed assets and
inventory of Crown Crafts, Inc., using the purchase method of accounting and
accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
The estimated fair values were $37,284 for assets acquired and $440 for
liabilities assumed.
On March 20, 2002, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of Dal-Tile International Inc., for approximately $1,545,000, consisting
of approximately 12,900 shares of the Company's common stock, options to
purchase approximately 2,100 shares of the Company's common stock and $720,000
in cash. The Company's common stock and options were valued at $825,000 based on
the measurement date stock price.

Effective January 1, 2000, the Company extended the estimated useful lives
on certain property, plant and equipment. The impact of the change was to
increase net earnings for fiscal 2000 by approximately $14,600, or $0.27 per
share.
(6) Long-Term Debt
The Company's revolving line of credit agreement provides for an interest
rate of either (i) LIBOR plus 0.2% to 0.5%, depending upon the Company's
performance measured against certain financial ratios, or (ii) the prime rate
less 1.0% and has a termination date of January 28, 2004. At December 31, 2001,
the Company had credit facilities of $450,000 under its revolving credit line
and $70,000 under various short-term uncommitted credit lines. At December 31,
2001, a total of $448,933 was unused under these lines. All of these lines are
unsecured. The credit agreement contains customary financial and other
covenants. The Company must pay an annual facility fee ranging from .0015 to
.0025 of the total credit commitment, depending upon the Company's performance
measured against specific coverage ratios, under the revolving credit line.
40
MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
On October 25, 2000, the Company entered into a 364 day revolving asset
financing securitization agreement enabling the Company to sell up to $205,000
of an undivided interest in a defined pool of trade accounts receivable. The
agreement, which has been recorded as an on-balance sheet financing transaction,
may be extended in one-year terms and has been extended to October 24, 2002. The
Company believes the securitization program provides low cost of financing and
is an additional source of debt capital with diversification from other
alternatives. The Company sold an initial ownership interest in a defined pool
of trade accounts receivable limited by eligible accounts receivable. As
collections reduce the pool, the Company sells participating interests in new
receivables to bring the amount in the pool up to the maximum permitted under
the agreement. The receivables are sold at a discount, which approximates the
purchasers' financing cost of the program. Receivables secured under the
agreement were $461,072 and $381,700 at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.
The net proceeds were used to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit
facility. Interest rates under the facility vary with the commercial paper rates
for the Blue Ridge Asset Funding Corporation plus an applicable margin.
The Company uses an interest rate swap contract to adjust the proportion of
total debt that is subject to variable interest rates as compared to fixed
interest rates. Under an interest rate swap contract, the Company agrees to pay
an amount equal to a fixed-rate of interest times a notional principal amount,
and to receive in return an amount equal to a specified variable-rate of
interest times the same notional principal amount of $100,000. The notional
amounts of the contracts are not exchanged, and no other cash payments are made.
The contract fair value is reflected on the balance sheet and related gains or
losses are deferred in other comprehensive income. These deferred gains and
losses are recognized in income as an adjustment to interest expense over the
same period in which the related interest payments being hedged are recognized
in income. However, to the extent that any of these contracts are not considered
to be 100% effective in offsetting the change in the value of the interest
payments being hedged, any changes in fair value relating to the ineffective
portion of these contracts is immediately recognized in income. As of December
31, 2001, the Company had an interest rate swap agreement outstanding for a
notional amount of $100,000, which will be in effect until January 3, 2006.
Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of
5.82 %. As of December 31, 2001, the cumulative loss and fair value of the swap
agreement was $4,503 or $2,837, net of applicable income taxes.
The Company guarantees the Industrial Revenue Bonds with various letters of
credit, which were in aggregate $55,600 at December 31, 2001 and 2000.

(8) Stock Options, Stock Compensation and Treasury Stock
Under the Company's 1992, 1993 and 1997 stock option plans, options may be
granted to directors and key employees through 2002, 2003 and 2007 to purchase a
maximum of 2,250, 675 and 2,550 shares of common stock, respectively. During
2001, 2000, and 1999 options to purchase 704, 187 and 809 shares respectively,
were granted under these plans. Options granted under each of these plans expire
10 years from the date of grant and become exercisable at such dates and at
prices as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors.
During 1996, the Company adopted the 1997 Non-Employee Director Stock
Compensation Plan. The plan provides for awards of common stock of the Company
for non-employee directors to receive in lieu of cash for their annual
retainers. During 2001, 2000, and 1999 a total of two, four, and three shares,
respectively were awarded to the non-employee directors under the plan.

As allowed under FAS No. 123, the Company accounts for stock options
granted as prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, which
recognizes compensation cost based upon the intrinsic value of the award.
Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the consolidated
statement of earnings for any stock options granted in 2001, 2000 and 1999. The
following table represents pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share
had the Company elected to account for stock option grants using the fair value
based method.

machinery and equipment, at a cost of $5,010, $7,480 and $8,899 for the periods
ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The amortization of these
capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Accumulated amortization was
$2,038, $3,312 and $3,619 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Rental expense under operating leases was $39,072, $36,392 and $28,407 in
2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
In December 1995, the Company and four other carpet manufacturers were
added as defendants in a purported class action lawsuit, In re Carpet Antitrust
Litigation, pending in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Georgia, Rome Division. The amended complaint alleges price-fixing
regarding polypropylene products in violation of Section One of the Sherman Act.
In September 1997, the Court granted the plaintiffs' motion to certify the
class. In October 1998, two plaintiffs, on behalf of an alleged class of
purchasers of nylon carpet products, filed a complaint in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against the Company and two
of its subsidiaries, as well as certain competitors. The complaint alleges that
the Company acted in concert with other carpet manufacturers to restrain
competition in the sale of certain nylon carpet products. The Company has filed
an answer, denied the allegations in the complaint and set forth its defenses.
On August 11, 2000, the Company presented to the Court the terms of an
agreement in principle to settle these two cases. On February 5, 2001, the Court
dismissed all claims against the Company and granted final approval to the
settlement. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company contributed
$13,500 to a settlement fund to resolve price-fixing claims brought by a class
of purchasers of polypropylene carpet and a
46
MOHAWK INDUSRTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial statements (Continued)
proposed settlement class of purchasers of nylon carpet. The Company recorded a
charge of $7,000 in the third quarter of 2000, in connection with the lawsuit.
This was in addition to $6,500 accrued in earlier periods. The Company denies
all liability and wrongdoing and has agreed to settle these claims in order to
avoid the costs of further litigation.
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 has reached an agreement to settle the lawsuits and is in the
process of finalizing documentation to be presented to the court for approval.
The settlement amount has been recorded in accrued expenses.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Mohawk
Industries, Inc.
51
Executive Compensation Philosophy. The Committee believes that a compensation
program that enables the Company to attract and retain outstanding executives
will assist the Company in meeting its long-range objectives, thereby serving
the interest of the Company's stockholders. The compensation program of the
Company is designed to achieve the following objectives:
1. Provide compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of
companies of a similar size.
2. Create a strong link between the executive's compensation and the
Company's annual and long-term financial performance.
3. Include above average elements of financial risk through
performance-based incentive compensation which offers an opportunity
for above average financial reward to the executives.
The Company's executive compensation program has three components: base
salaries, annual incentives and long-term incentives.
Base Salaries. The Company's executive officers receive base salaries as
compensation for the skills, knowledge and experience that they bring to their
positions. Base salaries paid to the Company's executive officers are intended
to be maintained at a competitive level with companies of a similar size. In
order to assess competitive rates, in 2001, the committee used compensation
surveys produced by a nationally recognized compensation consulting firm of
executives with similar job functions and responsibilities in public companies
engaged in nondurable goods manufacturing in the same net sales range. The group
of companies included in the surveys used was typically broader than the peer
group used in the Performance Graph following this report because the
competitive marketplace for executive talent has been viewed by the Committee as
national in scope and not restricted to the carpet and textile industries. With
respect to base salaries, the Committee has tried to achieve competitive rates
by targeting the approximate midpoint of the range of base salaries for
comparable positions. Within this overall policy, the Committee has preserved
the flexibility to make exceptions where performance over several years dictates
a higher base salary.
Annual Incentive Bonuses. Annual incentive bonuses under the executive
incentive program are provided in addition to base salaries to create total
annual compensation. Using the compensation surveys discussed above, the
Committee has targeted the upper quartile of total annual compensation for
similarly situated executives in companies of similar size. By placing a
significant portion of an executive's annual pay "at risk," the Committee
believes that compensation is more directly related to performance and will more
closely link the financial interests of the executives and those of the
stockholders. Given the Company's aggressive business objectives, the Committee
believes this policy to be appropriate and fair for both the executives and the
stockholders.
The 2001 Executive Incentive Program (the "Plan") was designed to provide
incentive bonus opportunities for 29 key executives of the Company, including
the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. For those
executives who were classified as Corporate Participants, including the Chief
Executive Officer ("CEO") and the Chief Financial Officer, to be eligible for
any bonus the total corporation must have attained in 2001 a threshold level of
earnings per share ("EPS") established by the Committee. For those executives
who were classified as Residential Business Participants, Karastan Business
Participants, Commercial Business Participants, Home Products Participants or
Hospitality Business Participants to be eligible for any bonus their business
unit must have attained in 2001 a threshold level of EPS contribution
established by the Committee. The factors considered in establishing the
thresholds in the Plan were the previous year's EPS for the total corporation
and EPS contribution by each business unit. If the threshold is attained, then
the bonus calculation is based on the attainment of increasing levels of
improvement of (i) 2001 EPS over 2000 EPS and (ii) 2001 Earnings After Capital
Charge ("EAC") (after tax operating earnings less a cost of capital charge) over
EAC targets established by the Committee using 2000 results as a base. The bonus
calculation is weighted 75% to the EPS level attained and 25% to the EAC level
attained. The bonus attainable at various levels in the Plan is calculated as a
percentage of 2001 compensation payments excluding all bonus, deferred bonus and
other non-salary amounts ("Base Compensation"). The percentages of Base
Compensation for which individual participants become eligible at the various
levels vary and were set for the CEO by the Committee and for the other
executives by the CEO (subject to the approval of the Committee) in order to
relate performance goals to a targeted level of total annual compensation.
52
A portion of each award ranging from 20% to 26% is paid as follows:
one-half is paid in shares of the Common Stock purchased in the market and
issued to the participant as restricted shares under the Mohawk Industries, Inc.
1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan and one-half is used to pay withholding tax on the
award. One-half of the shares granted will be restricted for one year and the
other half for two years. The number of restricted shares to be granted is
calculated using the average monthly closing stock price of the Common Stock
during 2001. The balance of the award is paid in cash to the participant in
2002.
The Committee has the authority to interpret the Plan, make changes therein
or grant special bonuses for exceptional performance as it determines
appropriate.
Long-Term Incentives. The Company provides long-term incentives to its
executives through stock option programs designed to encourage executives to
acquire and hold shares of Common Stock. The stock option plans are designed to
retain executives and motivate them to improve the market value of the Common
Stock over a number of years. The Committee believes that equity ownership by
executives furthers the Committee's compensation policy objective of aligning
long-term financial interests of executives with those of the stockholders. The
Committee considers the amount and terms of options previously awarded to and
held by executive officers in determining the size of option grants. In 2001,
options were granted to all of the executive officers named in the Summary
Compensation Table. These options all vest in 20% annual increments.
Other Compensation Plans. The Company maintains several broadly-based
employee benefit plans in which the executive officers are permitted to
participate on the same terms as other employees. These include the retirement
savings plan (designed to qualify under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code), a supplemental executive retirement plan which provides certain
supplemental retirement and other benefits to a certain executive who has
completed an aggregate of 60 months employment with the Company, and a
nonqualified deferred compensation plan for highly compensated employees which
permits deferral of income on a portion of the employee's compensation.
To the extent readily determinable and as one of the factors in its
consideration of the various components of executive compensation, the Committee
considers the anticipated tax treatment to the Company and to the executives of
various payments and benefits. Some types of compensation payments and their
deductibility (e.g., the spread on exercise of non-qualified options) depend
upon the timing of an executive's vesting or exercise of previously granted
rights. Further, interpretations of and changes in the tax laws and other
factors beyond the Committee's control also affect the deductibility of
compensation. For these and other reasons, the Committee will not necessarily
and in all circumstances limit executive compensation to that deductible under
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee will consider various
alternatives for preserving the deductibility of compensation payments and
benefits to the extent reasonably practicable and to the extent consistent with
its other compensation objectives.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation. In accordance with the compensation
philosophy and process described above, the Committee set Mr. Lorberbaum's base
salary for 2001 at $575,000, which was below the midpoint for CEO's of similar
sized companies in the surveys used by the Committee. Mr. Lorberbaum's total
annual cash compensation is linked to the Company's performance by his
participation in the 2001 Executive Incentive Program. Under the Plan, he would
earn no bonus unless 2001 EPS exceeded the threshold level established in the
Plan. In 2001, Mr. Lorberbaum earned a bonus equal to approximately 100% of his
Base Compensation based upon an improvement in EPS for the total corporation of
18 percent over 2000 EPS and an improvement in EAC for the total corporation of
16 percent over 2000 EAC. This bonus will be paid in cash and restricted shares
as described above. In 2001, Mr. Lorberbaum was awarded stock options to
purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at fair market value on the dates of the
grants. These options vest in 20% annual increments.
The Committee's objectives in setting Mr. Lorberbaum `s compensation for
2001 were to be competitive with other companies in the carpet industry and with
other public companies of a similar size and to provide Mr. Lorberbaum with
appropriate incentives to achieve the Company's short-term and long-term
objectives.

calculated based on cumulative total return, assuming the value of the
investment in the Company's Common Stock and in each index on December 31, 1996
was $100 and that all dividends were reinvested. The Company is not included in
the peer group because management believes that, by excluding the Company,
investors will have a more accurate view of the Company's performance relative
to certain other carpet and textile companies.

The Company has established a Retirement Savings Plan (the "Retirement
Savings Plan"), which is a combination 401(k)/profit-sharing plan that provides
for employee pre-tax contributions under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code, Company matching contributions, and, if profits are sufficient, a Company
profit sharing contribution. The Company has also established the SERP, a
non-qualified plan designed to supplement the benefits payable under the
Retirement Savings Plan and certain other plans. The SERP provides such benefits
to Mr. Swift.
Benefits under the SERP generally vest after the participant has sixty
months of employment with the Company and generally can begin once the
participant attains age 60. The retirement benefit payable at age 65 to Mr.
Swift (and prior to reduction as described below) is 40% of Mr. Swift's average
annual compensation (as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence).
Benefits under the SERP are reduced if the participant begins to receive SERP
benefits prior to age 65.
57
Benefits payable under the SERP as shown in the foregoing table are reduced
by (i) one-half of the participant's Social Security benefits; (ii) certain
other Company benefit plans; and (iii) the annuity benefit to the participant
from a subsequent employer's pension plan. Upon retirement, the normal form of
SERP benefit is a life annuity for the life of the participant, but the Board
and the participant may approve payment in an alternate form. There are also
certain death benefits and medical benefits that are payable under the SERP.
Mr. Swift had an average five-year compensation of $458,728 and 17 years
of creditable service. Messrs. Lorberbaum, Thornton, Polley and Kilbride do not
participate in the SERP.
Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors
General. During fiscal 2001, the Board of Directors held seven meetings.
All members of the Board of Directors attended at least 86% of the total number
of Board of Directors and Committee meetings that they were eligible to attend.
The Audit Committee consists of Mr. Bruckmann, Mr. McCurdy and Mr.
Pokelwaldt. The Audit Committee met three times during 2001. The Audit Committee
oversees management's conduct of the financial reporting process, the system of
internal, financial and administrative controls and the annual independent audit
of the Company's financial statements. In addition, the Audit Committee makes
recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the Company's employment of
independent auditors, reviews the independence of such auditors, approves the
scope of the annual activities of the independent and internal auditors and
reviews audit results. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for
the Audit Committee.
The Compensation Committee consists of Mr. Benatar, Mr. Pokelwaldt and
Mr. McCurdy. The Compensation Committee met five times during 2001. The
Compensation Committee is responsible for deciding, recommending and reviewing
the compensation, including benefits, of the executive officers and directors of
the Company and for administering the Company's incentive compensation plans.
See also "Executive Compensation--Report of the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of Mohawk Industries, Inc."
The Company has no nominating committee.
Director Compensation. Employees of the Company or its subsidiaries who are
also directors do not receive any fee or remuneration for services as members of
the Board of Directors or any Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company
pays non-employee directors an annual retainer of $20,000 and a fee of $2,000
for each Board meeting and $1,000 for each Committee meeting attended. In lieu
of this retainer and fees, Mr. Kolb receives an annual retainer of $30,000 for
his services as Chairman of the Board of Directors and a fee of $3,000 for each
Board meeting and $2,000 for each Committee meeting attended. Committee Chairmen
also receive an annual retainer of $2,500. Pursuant to the Company's 1993 Stock
Option Plan and the 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan, directors who are not
employees of the Company are initially granted a non-qualified stock option to
purchase 11,250 shares of Common Stock as of the date they commence service as a
director. On January 1 of each year, eligible directors who are directors on
such date receive an option to purchase 2,250 shares of Common Stock. The
exercise prices for all such option grants are based on a formula that with
respect to initial grants relates to the closing sale price of the underlying
Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant and
with respect to subsequent grants is the average of the closing sale prices of
the underlying Common Stock on the last business day of each of the Company's
four fiscal quarters during the preceding fiscal year. The Company reimburses
all directors for expenses the directors incur in connection with attendance at
meetings of the Board of Directors or Committees.
In December 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the Mohawk Industries,
Inc. 1997 Non-Employee Director Stock Compensation Plan (the "Director Stock
Compensation Plan") to promote the long-term growth of the Company by providing
a vehicle for its non-employee directors to increase their proprietary interest
in the Company and to attract and retain highly qualified and capable
non-employee directors. Under the Director Stock Compensation Plan, non-employee
directors may elect to receive their annual cash retainer fees (excluding any
meeting fees) in shares of Common Stock of the Company, based on the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the quarterly payment date. The maximum number of
shares of Common Stock which may be granted under the plan is 37,500 shares,
which shares may not be original issue shares. In 1997, the Director Stock
Compensation
58
Plan was amended by the Board of Directors to include an optional income
deferral feature using a book entry (phantom stock) account that would fluctuate
in value based on the performance of the Common Stock of the Company over the
deferral period. The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate the Director
Stock Compensation Plan at any time.
In connection with the merger of Dal-Tile International Inc., Mr. Wellborn
entered into an agreement with the Company whereby he agreed to serve as

cause he would receive his annual salary, currently $400,000, for the remainder
of the term plus annual bonuses based on the greater of his target bonus or the

Mohawk Industries, Inc.
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
(In thousands, except per share data)
(1) Long-Term Debt
The Company's revolving credit agreement provides for an interest rate of either
(i) LIBOR plus 0.2% to 0.5%, depending upon the Company's performance measured
against certain financial ratios, or (ii) the prime rate less 1.0% and has a
termination date of January 28, 2004. At December 31, 2001, the Company had
credit facilities of $450,000 under its revolving credit line and $70,000 under
various short-term uncommitted credit lines. At December 31, 2001, a total of
$448,933 was unused under these lines. All of these lines are unsecured. The
credit agreement contains customary financial and other covenants. The Company
must pay an annual facility fee ranging from .0015 to .0025 of the total credit
commitment, depending upon the Company's performance measured against specific
coverage ratios, under the revolving credit line.
The Company uses an interest rate swap contract to adjust the proportion of
total debt that is subject to variable interest rates as compared to fixed
interest rates. Under an interest rate swap contract, the Company agrees to pay
an amount equal to a fixed-rate of interest times a notional principal amount,
and to receive in return an amount equal to a specified variable-rate of
interest times the same notional principal amount of $100,000. The notional
amounts of the contracts are not exchanged, and no other cash payments are made.
The contract fair value is reflected on the balance sheet and related gains or
losses are deferred in other comprehensive income. These deferred gains and
losses are recognized in income as an adjustment to interest expense over the
same period in which the related interest payments being hedged are recognized
in income. However, to the extent that any of these contracts are not considered
to be 100% effective in offsetting the change in the value of the interest
payments being hedged, any changes in fair value relating to the ineffective
portion of these contracts is immediately recognized in income. As of December
31, 2001, the Company had an interest rate swap agreement outstanding for a
notional amount of $100,000, which will be in effect until January 3, 2006.
Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of
5.82 %. As of December 31, 2001, the cumulative loss and fair value of the swap
agreement was $4,503 or $2,837, net of applicable income taxes.
Long-term debt consists of the following:
