EXHIBIT 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Introduction Illinois Tool Works Inc. is a multinational manufacturer of highly engineered components and industrial systems with two business segments: Engineered Components, and Industrial Systems and Consumables. These segments are described below. Overall, the Company believes that the majority of the increase in operating revenues is due to higher sales volume rather than increased sales prices. Engineered Components Segment Businesses in this segment manufacture short lead-time plastic and metal components, fasteners and assemblies; industrial fluids and adhesives; fastening tools and welding products. This segment primarily serves the construction, automotive and general industrial markets. Dollars in millions Operating Revenues 1995 1994 1993 - --------------------------------------------------- Domestic $1,356 $1,204 $1,083 International 751 624 560 ------ ------ ------ Total $2,107 $1,828 $1,643 ====== ====== ====== Operating 1995 1994 1993 Income Income Margin Income Margin Income Margin - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Domestic $226 16.7% $189 15.7% $147 13.6% International 97 12.9 77 12.3 51 9.1 ---- ---- ---- Total $323 15.3 $266 14.6 $198 12.1 ===== ==== ==== Domestic Successful penetration in the automotive markets largely contributed to the increased domestic revenues in 1995 compared with 1994. Miller Electric's revenue growth from welding equipment and accessories was attributable to new product introductions and a stronger U.S. economy. The construction businesses also contributed to revenue growth due to increased distribution efficiency, continued penetration with new products and a steady commercial construction market throughout the year. Operating income and margins were up due to a reduction of manufacturing costs and revenue growth in the construction businesses and revenue growth in the automotive businesses. In 1994, the automotive businesses contributed to the growth in domestic revenues compared with 1993 as a result of improved penetration with the "Big Three" automotive companies and a stronger domestic car market. Construction markets were stronger in 1994 versus 1993 which resulted in increased sales volume. Operating income and margins increased primarily due to revenue gains in both the automotive and construction businesses. Miller also contributed to the overall improved financial performance due to strengthening welding markets and cost reductions. International Strong performance in the European automotive markets in 1995 resulted in increased international revenues and operating income versus 1994. Revenue growth was moderated due to soft Australian and German construction markets. Operating income and margins increased as a result of volume gains in the European automotive businesses, partially offset by lower operating income in the international construction businesses as a result of lower revenues. Foreign currency fluctuations in 1995 versus 1994 increased revenues by $51 million and operating income by $8 million. Seventy-seven percent of international revenues are from European operations. The European automotive businesses mainly contributed to the international revenue growth in 1994 over 1993 due to increased market penetration and an 11% increase in European car builds for the year. Operating income and margins in 1994 were higher versus 1993 primarily due to the increase in sales volume coupled with improved productivity in the automotive operations. Significant cost reductions and product mix in the European construction markets also contributed to operating income and margin growth. Industrial Systems and Consumables Segment Businesses in this segment manufacture longer lead-time systems and related consumables for consumer and industrial packaging; marking, labeling and identification systems; industrial spray coating equipment and systems; and quality assurance equipment and systems. The largest markets served by this segment are general industrial, food and beverage, and industrial capital goods.

Approximately 50% of the increase in domestic revenues was attributed to 1995 acquisitions, primarily in the consumer packaging and finishing systems groups. New products for the finishing systems operations resulted in higher revenues but lower margins as a result of product mix. The industrial packaging businesses' margins increased due to process improvements and new product introductions. Domestic revenues, operating income and margins increased in 1994 versus 1993 due to improved results in the industrial packaging and the finishing systems businesses as a result of new product introductions and higher sales volume. The quality measurement businesses, which serve the capital goods markets, slightly moderated operating income growth. International In 1995, international industrial packaging businesses led in the revenue and operating income growth followed by the consumer packaging operations. Acquisitions accounted for approximately 40% of the revenue growth, mainly in the industrial packaging businesses. The finishing systems businesses showed continued growth as well due to market share gains in the European automotive and general industrial markets and increased revenue in the Japanese market. Margins increased due to new product introductions and cost reductions for the industrial packaging businesses and European finishing systems operations. Foreign currencies also increased revenues by $65 million and operating income by $8 million. Seventy-eight percent of international revenues are from European operations. International revenue growth in 1994 versus 1993 was primarily due to higher sales in the industrial packaging businesses. The consumer packaging group also contributed to the revenue growth as beverage markets picked up in Europe. While the industrial packaging businesses showed revenue growth in operating income and margins declined due to price relief given to customers during the soft economic period in Europe. The decline in operating income and margins for the industrial packaging businesses was more than offset by improved profitability in the finishing systems operations related to new products and cost reductions. Cost of Revenues Cost of Revenues as a percentage of revenues was 65.4% in 1995 compared with 66.2% in 1994 and 67.2% in 1993. The decreases in 1995 and 1994 versus the previous years were due to increased sales volume coupled with finding new, more efficient manufacturing methods. Selling, Administrative and R&D Expenses Selling, administrative, and research and development expenses were 18.7% of revenues in 1995 versus 19.3% in 1994 and 20.2% in 1993. This ratio continues to decline because of expense reductions as a result of a Company-wide objective to reduce administrative costs. Interest Expense Interest expense increased to $31.6 million in 1995, versus $26.9 million in 1994, primarily due to debt assumed from acquisitions. Interest expense declined in 1994 from $35.0 million in 1993 mainly as a result of reduced commercial paper and foreign borrowings. Other Income Other income increased to $28.8 million in 1995 versus $1.9 million in 1994 and $1.4 million in 1993. The increased income in 1995 versus the prior years is primarily due to an increase in investment and interest income. Income Taxes The effective tax rate was 37.9% in 1995, 38.3% in 1994 and 38.5% in 1993. See the Provision for Income Taxes footnote for a reconciliation of the Federal statutory rate to the effective tax rate. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, was adopted in 1993 and had no material impact on earnings. Net Income Net income in 1995 of $387.6 million ($3.29 per share) was 39.5% higher than the 1994 net income of $277.8 million($2.45 per share). Net income for 1994 was 34.5% higher than 1993 net income of $206.6 million ($1.83 per share). 21 Foreign Currency The weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies in 1995 (primarily European currencies) resulted in increased operating revenues of $116 million and increased net income per share of approximately 10 cents per share. Foreign currency fluctuations had no material impact on revenues or earnings in 1994 versus 1993. As the Company and its subsidiaries do not have significant assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies, no material transactions to hedge foreign currency exposures occurred in 1995, 1994, or 1993. Financial Position Net working capital at December 31, 1995 and 1994 is summarized as follows: Dollars Increase in thousands 1995 1994 (Decrease) - ------------------------------------------------------------ Current Assets: Cash and equivalents $ 116,600 $ 76,867 $ 39,733 Trade receivables 741,327 612,638 128,689 Inventories 518,964 439,486 79,478 Other 155,599 133,942 21,657 ---------- ---------- -------- 1,532,490 1,262,933 269,557 ---------- ---------- -------- Current Liabilities: Short-term debt 176,188 67,002 109,186 Accounts payable and accrued expenses 613,199 491,779 121,420 Other 61,545 69,652 (8,107) ---------- ---------- -------- 850,932 628,433 222,499 ---------- ---------- -------- Net Working Capital $ 681,558 $ 634,500 $ 47,058 ========== ========== ======== Current Ratio 1.80 2.01 ==== ==== The increase in trade receivables at December 31, 1995 was primarily due to higher operating revenues in the fourth quarter of 1995 versus 1994 and 1995 acquisitions. Inventories increased $79.5 million in 1995 mainly as a result of acquisitions. Short-term debt increased at December 31, 1995, primarily due to increased short-term commercial paper borrowings of $93.7 million. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased at December 31, 1995 versus year-end 1994 due to overall business growth and acquisitions. Long-term debt at December 31, 1995 consisted of $125 million of 7.5% notes,$125 million of 5.875% notes, a $256 million nonrecourse 6.28% note,$75 million of commercial paper borrowings and $43 million of capitalized lease obligations and other debt. Long-term debt increased $343 million from December 31, 1994, principally as a result of the issuance of the 6.28% note and commercial paper borrowings during 1995. The percentage of total debt to total capitalization increased to 29.2% at December 31, 1995 from 18.1% at December 31, 1994. Stockholders' equity was $1.924 billion at December 31, 1995 compared with $1.542 billion at December 31, 1994. Affecting equity were earnings of $388 million, dividends declared of $75 million, the effect of pooling of interests acquisitions of $43 million and favorable currency translation adjustments of $15 million, primarily related to stronger European currencies. The Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 is summarized below: Dollars in thousands 1995 1994 - ---------------------------------------------------- Net income $ 387,608 $ 277,783 Depreciation and amortization 151,931 132,149 Acquisitions (212,426) (43,365) Additions to plant and equipment (150,176) (131,055) Cash dividends paid (71,783) (61,162) Net proceeds (repayments) of debt 136,087 (152,167) Purchase of investments (126,300) -- Other, net (75,208) 19,289 --------- --------- Net increase in cash and equivalents $ 39,733 $ 41,472 ========= ========= Net cash provided by operating activities of $437 million in 1995 was primarily used for acquistions, for additions to plant and equipment and for cash dividends. Net cash generated by operations in 1994 of $387 million was used mainly for repayment of commercial paper borrowings, for additions to plant and equipment and for cash dividends. Commercial paper borrowings in 1995 were primarily used to fund investment purchases and acquisitions. Dividends paid per share increased 14.8% to $.62 per share in 1995 from $.54 in 1994. The Company expects to continue to meet its dividend payout objective of 25-30% of the average of the last three years' net income. Management continues to believe that internally generated funds will be adequate to service existing debt and maintain appropriate debt to total capitalization and earnings to fixed charge ratios. Internally generated funds are also expected to be adequate to finance internal growth, small-to-medium sized acquisitions and additional investments. The Company has additional debt capacity to fund larger acquisitions. The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures at December 31, 1995 or 1994. The Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, will not have a material effect on the financial statements. The Company anticipates that its leasing and investments business may become significant enough to begin reporting as a separate segment in 1996. 22 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Statement of Income Illinois Tool Works Inc. and Subsidiaries For the Years Ended December 31 -------------------------------------- In thousands except for per share amounts 1995 1994 1993 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Operating Revenues $4,152,170 $3,461,315 $3,159,181 Cost of revenues 2,717,076 2,290,117 2,122,286 Selling, administrative, and research and development expenses 776,583 666,576 638,560 Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets 25,031 22,344 21,874 Amortization of retiree health care 6,968 6,968 6,968 ---------- ---------- ---------- Operating Income 626,512 475,310 369,493 Interest expense (31,581) (26,943) (35,025) Other income 28,777 1,916 1,402 ---------- ---------- ---------- Income Before Income Taxes 623,708 450,283 335,870 Income taxes 236,100 172,500 129,300 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net Income $ 387,608 $ 277,783 $ 206,570 ========== ========== ========== Net Income Per Share of Common Stock $3.29 $2.45 $1.83 ===== ===== ===== - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Statement of Income Reinvested in the Business Illinois Tool Works Inc. and Subsidiaries For the Years Ended December 31 -------------------------------------- In thousands 1995 1994 1993 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balance, Beginning of Year $1,344,172 $1,129,435 $1,201,537 Net income 387,608 277,783 206,570 Cash dividends declared (74,789) (63,546) (56,443) Effect of pooling of interests acquisitions 16,329 500 (222,229) ---------- ---------- ---------- Balance, End of Year $1,673,320 $1,344,172 $1,129,435 ========== ========== ========== The Comments on Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Report of Independent Public Accountants To the Board of Directors of Illinois Tool Works Inc.: We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Illinois Tool Works Inc.

The adoption of SFAS No. 109 had no material impact on the Company's results of operations in 1993. SFAS No. 109 utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of the enacted tax laws. The components of the provision for income taxes were as shown below: In thousands 1995 1994 1993 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ U.S. Federal income taxes: Current $156,166 $120,606 $ 95,406 Deferred 943 (3,665) (14,383) Investment tax credits (637) (810) (727) -------- -------- -------- 156,472 116,131 80,296 -------- -------- -------- Foreign income taxes: Current 61,864 40,290 28,239 Deferred (8,488) (5,314) 4,515 -------- -------- -------- 53,376 34,976 32,754 -------- -------- -------- State income taxes: Current 27,448 24,349 18,383 Deferred (1,196) (2,956) (2,133) -------- -------- -------- 26,252 21,393 16,250 -------- -------- -------- $236,100 $172,500 $129,300 ======== ======== ======== Income before income taxes for domestic and foreign operations was as follows: In thousands 1995 1994 1993 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Domestic $449,508 $318,368 $253,068 Foreign 174,200 131,915 82,802 -------- -------- -------- $623,708 $450,283 $335,870 ======== ======== ======== The reconciliation between the Federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate was as follows: 1995 1994 1993 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Federal statutory tax rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% State income taxes, net of Federal tax benefit 2.7 3.1 3.2 Amortization of nondeductible goodwill .8 .8 1.1 Differences between Federal statutory and foreign tax rates .6 (.4) 1.1 Other, net (1.2) (.2) (1.9) ---- ---- ---- Effective tax rate 37.9% 38.3% 38.5% ==== ==== ==== 28 Deferred U.S. Federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on approximately $489,900,000 of undistributed earnings of international affiliates as of December 31, 1995.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $135,400,000 available to offset future taxable income in certain foreign jurisdictions which expire as follows: In thousands - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1996 $ 36,000 1997 5,700 1998 4,700 1999 3,500 2000 5,600 2007 700 Do not expire 79,200 -------- $135,400 ======== - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Income Per Share of Common Stock is computed on the basis of the average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The dilutive effect of shares of common stock subject to issuance under stock option plans are excluded from the computation since the effect is not material. The average number of shares outstanding was 117,989,000, 113,387,000 and 112,979,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash and Equivalents included interest-bearing deposits of $40,021,000 at December 31, 1995 and $18,702,000 at December 31, 1994. lnterest-bearing deposits have maturities of 90 days or less and are stated at cost, which approximates market. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trade Receivables as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 were net of allowances for uncollectible accounts of $23,500,000 and $19,600,000, respectively. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 29 Inventories at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were as follows: In thousands 1995 1994 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raw material $140,302 $126,730 Work-in-process 84,981 66,505 Finished goods 293,681 246,251 -------- -------- $518,964 $439,486 ======== ======== Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include material, labor and factory overhead. The last-in, first-out (LIFO) method is used to determine the cost of the inventories of the majority of domestic operations. Inventories priced at LIFO were 39% and 43% of total inventories as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The first-in, first-out (FIFO) method is used for all other inventories. Under the FIFO method, which approximates current cost, total inventories would have been approximately $42,300,000 and $40,700,000 higher than reported at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plant and Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Renewals and improvements that increase the useful life of plant and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The range of useful lives used to depreciate plant and equipment is as follows: Buildings and improvements 10 - 40 years Machinery and equipment 3 - 12 years Equipment leased to others Term of lease - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investments as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of the following: In thousands 1995 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Properties held for sale $ 14,275 $18,217 Property developments 7,575 9,045 Commercial mortgage loans and properties 285,262 -- Net swap receivable 70,738 -- Mortgage-backed securities 27,815 -- Leveraged and direct financing leases of equipment 89,441 55,413 Low-income housing 6,420 802 Other 3,294 3,589 -------- ------- $504,820 $87,066 ======== ======= In the first quarter of 1995, the Company exchanged preferred stock of a subsidiary of $40,000,000 for investments in mortgage-backed securities of $32,000,000 and corporate debt securities of $8,000,000 in a noncash transaction. The preferred stock was subsequently redeemed for $40,000,000 cash in the fourth quarter of 1995. The mortgage-backed securities of $27,815,000 at December 31, 1995 are recorded at fair value which approximates cost and are classified as available-for-sale securities. In December 1995, the Company acquired a pool of mortgage-related assets in exchange for a nonrecourse note payable of $256,000,000, preferred stock of a subsidiary of $20,000,000 and cash of $80,000,000. The mortgage-related assets relate to commercial real estate located throughout the U.S. and include 26 subperforming, variable rate, balloon loans and five foreclosed properties. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company simultaneously entered into a ten-year swap agreement and other related agreements whereby the Company will pay a third party the portion of the interest and net operating cash flow from the mortgage-related assets in excess of $9,000,000 per year and a portion (estimated to be $197,000,000 at December 31, 1995) of the proceeds from the disposition of the mortgage-related assets and principal repayments, in exchange for the third party making payments to the Company equal to the contractual principal and interest payments on the nonrecourse note payable. In addition, in the event that the pool of mortgage-related assets does not generate income of $9,000,000 a year, the Company has a collateral right against the cash flow generated by a separate pool of mortgage-related assets (owned by a third party in which the Company has a minimal interest) which currently has a fair value of approximately $719,000,000. The Company entered into the swap and other related agreements in order to reduce its credit and interest rate risks relative to the mortgage-related assets. The Company expects to recover its net investment in the mortgage-related assets and net swap receivable of $100,000,000 (net of the related nonrecourse note payable) through its expected net cash flow of $9,000,000 per year for ten years and its estimated share of the proceeds from disposition of the mortgage-related assets and principal repayments of $118,000,000. The Company evaluates whether the mortgage loans have been impaired by reviewing the discounted estimated future cash flows of the loans versus the carrying value of the loans. If the carrying value exceeds the discounted cash flows, an impairment loss would be recognized through income. The estimated fair value of the commercial mortgage loans and properties, based on discounted future cash flows, approximates cost at December 31, 1995. The net swap receivable is recorded at fair value, based on the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market interest rate. Any adjustments to the carrying value of the net swap receivable due to changes in expected future cash flows or interest rates are recorded through income. The Company's investment in leveraged and direct financing leases relates to equipment used primarily in the transportation, mining and paper processing industries. The components of the investment in leveraged and direct financing leases at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were as shown below: In thousands 1995 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lease contracts receivable (net of principal and interest on nonrecourse financing) $102,625 $ 46,798 Estimated residual value of leased assets 25,601 21,548 Unearned and deferred income (38,785) (12,933) -------- ------- Investment in leveraged and direct financing leases 89,441 55,413 Deferred income taxes related to leveraged and direct financing leases (38,978) (40,656) -------- -------- Net investment in leveraged and direct financing leases $ 50,463 $ 14,757 ======== ======== In 1995, the Company had a gain on the sale of equipment previously covered under leveraged leases of $4,115,000. 30 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodwill represents the excess cost over fair value of the net assets of purchased businesses. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 to 40 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of unamortized goodwill and the other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such assets may be impaired by reviewing the sufficiency of future undiscounted cash flows of the related entity to cover the amortization or depreciation over the remaining useful life of the asset. For any long-lived assets which are determined to be impaired, a loss would be recognized for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value for assets to be held or the net realizable value for assets to be disposed of. This policy is consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of. Amortization expense was $16,335,000 in 1995, $14,031,000 in 1994, and $13,268,000 in 1993. Accumulated goodwill amortization was $100,242,000 and $79,672,000, at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other Assets as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of the following: In thousands 1995 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other intangible assets $126,418 $134,083 Accumulated amortization of other intangible assets (59,727) (64,455) Cash surrender value of life insurance policies 35,923 19,211 Investment in unconsolidated affiliates 30,849 25,481 Prepaid pension assets 32,994 28,566 Other 54,950 52,145 -------- -------- $221,407 $195,031 ======== ======== Other intangible assets represent patents, noncompete agreements and other assets acquired with purchased businesses and are being amortized primarily on a straight-line basis over three to 17 years.

The Company's contributions to these plans were $9,900,000 in 1995, $8,400,000 in 1994 and $6,900,000 in 1993. The Company provides the majority of its employees with pension benefits. The Company's principal domestic plan provides benefits based on years of service and compensation levels during the latter years of employment. Other domestic and foreign plans provide benefits similar to the principal domestic plan. Subject to the limitation on deductibility imposed by Federal income tax laws, the Company's policy has been to contribute funds to the plans annually in amounts required to maintain sufficient plan assets to provide for accrued benefits. No contributions to the principal plan were made in 1995, 1994 or 1993. Contributions to international and other domestic plans were minimal in 1995, 1994 and 1993. Domestic plan assets consist primarily of listed common stocks and debt securities. The components of net pension expense for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were as shown below: In thousands 1995 1994 1993 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service cost $ 24,369 $ 21,622 $ 21,757 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 33,972 32,800 29,832 Actual return on plan assets (99,364) (4,655) (48,002) Net amortization and deferral 49,102 (38,278) 7,879 -------- -------- -------- Net pension expense $ 8,079 $ 11,489 $ 11,466 ======== ======== ======== The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 1995 and 1994: 1995 1994 --------------------- --------------------- In thousands Domestic Foreign Domestic Foreign - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Vested $(269,601) $(72,237) $(244,931) $(65,919) Non-vested (54,992) (14,130) (43,866) (13,389) --------- -------- --------- -------- Accumulated benefit obligation (324,593) (86,367) (288,797) (79,308) Effect of projected wage increases (38,550) (15,332) (36,099) (14,013) --------- -------- --------- -------- Projected benefit obligation (363,143) (101,699) (324,896) (93,321) Plan assets at fair value 443,910 103,631 375,632 97,771 --------- -------- --------- -------- Plan assets in excess of projected benefit obligation 80,767 1,932 50,736 4,450 Unrecognized net gain (84,421) (6,379) (56,385) (6,909) Unrecognized prior service cost 35,299 32 40,620 29 Unrecognized transition asset (20,389) (8,314) (24,461) (9,073) Adjustment to recognize minimum liability (3,448) (492) (1,140) (587) --------- -------- --------- -------- Prepaid (accrued) pension asset (liability) $ 7,808 $(13,221) $ 9,370 $(12,090) ========= ======== ========= ======== The significant actuarial assumptions at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were as follows: 1995 1994 1993 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Domestic plans: Discount rate 7.75% 8.50% 7.60% Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets 10.00% 10.00% 9.00% Rate of increase in future compensation levels 4.00% 4.30% 4.30% Foreign plans: Discount rate 5.50-9.00% 5.50-9.00% 5.50-9.00% Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets 5.50-9.00% 5.50-9.00% 5.50-9.00% 32 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Postretirement Health Care Benefits- The Company provides health care benefits to the majority of domestic employees and their covered dependents. Generally, employees who have reached age 55 and rendered 10 years of service are eligible for these benefits, which are subject to retiree contributions, deductibles, copayment provisions and other limitations. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. This standard requires that the expected cost of health care benefits be charged to expense during the service lives of employees rather than the cash basis method previously used. The Company has elected to amortize the unfunded accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO) of $145,500,000 as of January 1, 1993 over 20 years. A one-percentage point increase in the health care cost trend rate would increase the APBO as of December 31, 1995 by approximately $13,698,000 and the sum of the 1995 annual service and interest cost by approximately $1,597,000. The costs of postretirement health care benefits under SFAS No. 106 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were as shown below: In thousands 1995 1994 1993 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Service cost $ 2,110 $ 2,187 $ 2,312 Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 10,077 10,715 11,912 Net amortization and deferral 5,581 7,519 6,968 ------- ------- ------- Net postretirement benefit cost $17,768 $20,421 $21,192 ======= ======= ======= The following table sets forth the amounts recognized in the Company's Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 1995 and 1994: In thousands 1995 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Retirees $(90,504) $(91,691) Active employees (31,952) (29,661) -------- -------- (122,456) (121,352) Unrecognized transition obligation 122,555 129,764 Unrecognized net gain (27,284) (28,689) -------- -------- Accrued postretirement benefit cost $(27,185) $(20,277) ======== ======== The significant actuarial assumptions at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were as follows: 1995 1994 1993 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discount rate 7.75% 8.50% 7.60% Health care cost trend rate: Current rate 7.00% 8.00% 10.00% Ultimate rate in 1998 5.00% 5.00% 5.00% 33 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accrued Expenses as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of accruals for: In thousands 1995 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compensation and employee benefits $196,002 $161,728 Taxes, other than income taxes 19,202 17,727 Customer deposits 24,966 20,019 Other 151,532 117,557 -------- -------- $391,702 $317,031 ======== ======== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-Term Debt at December 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of the following: In thousands 1995 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.5% notes due December 1, 1998 $125,000 $125,000 5.875% notes due March 1, 2000 125,000 125,000 6.28% nonrecourse note due semiannually through December 31, 2005 256,000 -- Commercial paper 75,000 -- Other, including capitalized lease obligations 42,506 24,996 -------- -------- 623,506 274,996 Current maturities (7,949) (2,009) -------- -------- $615,557 $272,987 ======== ======== In 1991, the Company issued $125,000,000 of 7.5% notes due December 1, 1998 at 99.892% of face value. The notes may not be redeemed by the Company prior to maturity. The effective interest rate of the notes is 7.6%. In 1993, the Company issued $125,000,000 of 5.875% notes due March 1, 2000 at 99.744% of face value. The notes may not be redeemed by the Company prior to maturity. The effective interest rate of the notes is 5.9%. The quoted market prices of the 7.5% and 5.875% notes exceeded the carrying values by approximately $6,000,000 at December 31, 1995, and were less than the carrying values by approximately $14,000,000 at December 31, 1994. In December 1995, the Company issued a $256,000,000 6.28% note at face value. The note has a nonrecourse provision relative to the commercial mortgage loans and properties and the net swap receivable, which are included in investments. In 1992, the Company entered into a $300,000,000 revolving credit facility (RCF) expiring on August 14, 1997, which provides for borrowing under a number of options and which may be reduced or canceled at any time at the Company's option. In July 1994, the Company canceled $150,000,000 of the RCF. In August 1995, the Company entered into another RCF for $175,000,000 expiring on August 21, 1996, which provides for borrowings under a number of options and which may be reduced or canceled at any time at the Company's option. There were no amounts outstanding under these facilities as of December 31, 1995. Each RCF contains financial covenants establishing a maximum total debt to total capitalization percentage and a minimum consolidated tangible net worth. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 1995. Commercial paper is issued at a discount and generally matures 30 to 90 days from the date of issue. The Company maintains unused commitments under the RCF's equal to any commercial paper borrowings. The weighted average interest rate on commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 1995 was 5.85%. No commercial paper was outstanding at December 31, 1994. The commercial paper balance expected to remain outstanding beyond one year has been classified as long-term in the accompanying Statement of Financial Position, reflecting the Company's intent and ability to finance the borrowings on a long-term basis. The remaining commercial paper balance has been classified as short-term. 34 Other debt bears interest at rates ranging from 2.2% to 14.2%, with maturities through the year 2015. Scheduled maturities of long-term debt for the years ended December 31 are as follows: In thousands - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1997 $103,068 1998 148,097 1999 18,140 2000 142,092 2001 and future years 204,160 -------- $615,557 ======== - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preferred Stock, without par value, of which 300,000 shares are authorized, is issuable in series.
