BUSINESS On August 30, 1998, The Genlyte Group Incorporated ("Genlyte") and Thomas Industries Inc. ("Thomas") completed the combination of the business of Genlyte with the lighting business of Thomas ("Thomas Lighting"), in the form of a limited liability company named Genlyte Thomas Group LLC ("GTG"). Genlyte contributed substantially all of its assets and liabilities to GTG and received a 68% interest in GTG. Thomas contributed substantially all of the assets and certain related liabilities of Thomas Lighting and received a 32% interest in GTG. Throughout this Form 10-K, the term "Company" as used herein refers to The Genlyte Group Incorporated, including the consolidation of The Genlyte Group Incorporated and all majority-owned subsidiaries. The Company designs, manufactures, markets, and sells lighting fixtures and controls for a wide variety of applications in the commercial, residential, and industrial markets. The Company operates in these three industry segments through the following divisions: Lightolier, Day-Brite, Crescent, Capri/Omega, Chloride Systems, Controls, Hadco, Gardco, Wide-Lite, Stonco, and Thomas Residential in the United States, and Canlyte, Thomas Lighting Canada, Lumec, and Ledalite in Canada. The Company markets its products under the following brand names: In the U.S. -- Bronzelite, Capri, Chloride Systems, Crescent, Day-Brite, Electro/Connect, Emco, ExceLine, Fibre Light, Forecast, Gardco, Hadco, Ledalite, LightGuard, Lightolier, Lightolier Controls, Lumec, Lumec-Schreder, Matrix, mcPhilben, Omega, Starlight, Stonco, Thomas, Translite Sonoma, Wide-Lite, and ZED. In Canada -- All of the above plus C&M, CFI Fluorescent, Horizon, Keene-Widelite, Lite-Energy, Prodel, and Uniglo. The Company's products primarily utilize incandescent, fluorescent, and high-intensity discharge (HID) light sources and are marketed primarily to distributors who resell the products for use in new commercial, residential, and industrial construction as well as in remodeling existing structures. 2 Because the Company does not principally sell directly to the end-user of its products, management cannot determine precisely the percentage of its revenues derived from the sale of products installed in each type of building or the percentage of its products sold for new construction versus remodeling. The Company's sales, like those of the lighting fixture industry in general, are partly dependent on the level of activity in new construction and remodeling. PRODUCTS AND DISTRIBUTION The Company designs, manufactures, markets, and sells the following types of products: Indoor Fixtures: Incandescent, fluorescent, and HID lighting fixtures and lighting controls for commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, medical, and sports markets, and task lighting for all markets. Outdoor Fixtures: HID and incandescent lighting fixtures and accessories for commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and sports markets. The Company's products are marketed by independent sales representatives and Company direct sales personnel who sell to distributors, electrical wholesalers, mass merchandisers, and national accounts. In addition, the Company's products are promoted through architects, engineers, contractors, and building owners. The fixtures are principally sold throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. RAW MATERIALS SOURCES & AVAILABILITY The Company purchases large quantities of raw materials and components -- mainly steel, aluminum, ballasts, sockets, wire, plastic, lenses, glass, and corrugated cartons -- from multiple sources. No significant supply problems have been encountered in recent years. Relationships with vendors have been satisfactory. SEASONAL EFFECT ON BUSINESS There are no predictable significant seasonal effects on the Company's results of operations. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS The Company has a number of United States and foreign mechanical patents, design patents, and registered trademarks. The Company maintains such protections by periodic renewal of trademarks and payments of maintenance fees for issued patents. The Company vigorously enforces its intellectual property rights. The Company does not believe that a loss of any presently held patent or trademark is likely to have a material adverse impact on its business. 3 WORKING CAPITAL There are no unusual significant business practices at the Company that affect working capital. The Company's terms of collection vary by division but are generally consistent with general practices within the lighting industry. The Company attempts to keep inventory levels at the minimum required to satisfy customer requirements. BACKLOG Backlog was $95,887,000 as of December 31, 2000; $102,080,000 as of December 31, 1999; and $90,474,000 as of December 31, 1998. Substantially all the backlog at December 31, 2000 is expected to be shipped in 2001. COMPETITION The Company's products are sold in competitive markets, in which are numerous producers of each type of fixture. The principal measures of competition in indoor and outdoor fixtures for the commercial, residential, and industrial markets are price, service, design, and product performance. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Company continues to develop new products to provide innovative lighting solutions to meet the needs of its customers. Costs incurred for research and development activities, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, were $8,510,000; $8,086,000; and $7,237,000 during 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. EMPLOYEES At December 31, 2000, the Company employed 3,317 union and nonunion production workers and 2,257 engineering, administrative, and sales personnel. Approximately 15% of the production workers are covered by collective bargaining agreements that expire in 2001. Relationships with unions have been satisfactory. Negotiation of collective bargaining agreements is not expected to have a significant impact on 2001 production. 4 INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS The Company has international operations in Canada and Mexico. Information on the Company's operations by geographical area for the last three fiscal years is set forth in note 18 in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" section of Genlyte's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders (Exhibit 13 hereto), which is incorporated herein by reference. DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward looking statements. Certain information in Items 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8 of this Form 10-K include information that is forward looking. The matters referred to in such information could be affected by the risks and uncertainties involved in the Company's business. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the effect of economic and market conditions, new building construction cycles, the impact of seasonal weather conditions on construction activity, currency exchange rates, the level and volatility of interest rates, economic and political conditions in international markets, including civil unrest, government changes, and restrictions on the ability to transfer capital across borders, the impact of legislative enactments, regulatory action and changes in accounting standards and taxation requirements, environmental laws in domestic and foreign jurisdictions, as well as certain other risks described in this Form 10-K. 5 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The leased Corporate office of the Company is located in Louisville, Kentucky. Because of the large number of individual locations and the diverse nature of the operating facilities, specific description of each property owned and leased by the Company is not necessary to an understanding of the Company's business. All of the buildings are of steel, masonry, or concrete construction, are generally in good condition, provide adequate and suitable space for the operations of each location, and provide sufficient capacity for present and foreseeable future needs. A summary of the Company's property follows: 23 Owned Facilities 52 Leased Facilities Combined Facilities Nature of Facilities Total Square Feet Total Square Feet Total Square Feet - -------------------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- Manufacturing Plants 1,895,000 410,000 2,305,000 Warehouses 1,211,000 559,000 1,770,000 Administrative Offices 341,000 170,000 511,000 Sales Offices -- 56,000 56,000 Other 99,000 4,000 103,000 --------- --------- --------- Total 3,546,000 1,199,000 4,745,000 ========= ========= ========= ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Genlyte was named as one of a number of corporate and individual defendants in an adversary proceeding filed on June 8, 1995, arising out of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing of Keene Corporation ("Keene"). Except for the last count, as discussed below, the claims and causes of action set forth in the June 8, 1995 complaint (the "complaint") are substantially the same as were brought against Genlyte in the U.S. District Court in New York in August 1993 (which original proceeding was permanently enjoined as a result of Keene's reorganization plan). The complaint is being prosecuted by the Creditors Trust created for the benefit of Keene's creditors (the "Trust"), seeking from the defendants, collectively, damages in excess of $700 million, rescission of certain asset sale and stock transactions, and other relief. With respect to Genlyte, the complaint (some of the claims of which have since been restricted, as noted below) principally maintains that certain lighting assets of Keene were sold to a predecessor of Genlyte in 1984 at less than fair value, while both Keene and Genlyte were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Bairnco Corporation ("Bairnco"). The complaint also challenges Bairnco's spin-off of Genlyte in August 1988. Other allegations are that Genlyte, as well as other corporate defendants, are liable as corporate successors to Keene. The complaint fails to specify the amount of damages sought against Genlyte. The complaint also alleges a violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"). 6 Following confirmation of the Keene reorganization plan, the parties moved to withdraw the case from bankruptcy court to the Southern District of New York Federal District Court. The case is now pending before the Federal District Court. On October 13, 1998, the Court issued an opinion dismissing certain counts as to Genlyte and certain other corporate defendants. In particular, the Court dismissed the count of the complaint against Genlyte that alleged the 1988 spin-off was a fraudulent transaction, and the count alleging a violation of RICO. The Court also denied a motion to dismiss the challenge to the 1984 transaction on statute of limitations grounds and ruled that the complaint should not be dismissed for failure to specifically plead fraud. On January 5 and 6, 1999, the Court rendered additional rulings further restricting the claims by the Trust against Genlyte and other corporate defendants, and dismissing the claims against all remaining individual defendants except one. The primary effect of the rulings with respect to claims against Genlyte was to require the Trust to prove that the 1984 sale of certain lighting assets of Keene was made with actual intent to defraud present and future creditors of Genlyte's predecessor. Discovery, which was stayed since commencement of the action, is now ongoing. Genlyte has filed its answer to the complaint, denying liability, and is in the process of responding to and requesting discovery. Genlyte believes that it has meritorious defenses to the adversary proceeding and will defend said action vigorously. Additionally, the Company is a defendant and/or potentially responsible party, with other companies, in actions and proceedings under state and Federal environmental laws including the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, as amended. Management does not believe that the disposition of the lawsuits and/or proceedings will have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to legal proceedings and claims. When costs can be reasonably estimated, appropriate liabilities or reserves for such matters are recorded. While management currently believes the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not materially affect the financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. Were an unfavorable outcome to occur, the impact could be material to the Company. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None 7 PART II ITEM 5.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The information required for this item is included in Genlyte's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders (Exhibit 13 hereto), which is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Reference is made to the "Management's Discussion and Analysis" section of Genlyte's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders (Exhibit 13 hereto), which is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company is exposed to market risk for interest rates, prices of raw materials and component parts, and foreign currency exchange rates in the operation of its business. Each of these risks is discussed below. 8 The Company earns interest income on its cash and cash equivalents and pays interest expense on its short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Because of variable interest rates, the Company is exposed to risk of interest rate fluctuations. However, because of its relatively low level of net debt, management currently believes this risk is not material to the Company's operating results. The Company does not use derivative financial products such as interest rate hedges or swaps. Based upon December 31, 2000 debt levels, a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would result in an annualized increase of approximately $693,000 in interest expense, and a partially offsetting increase in interest income. The estimated increase is based upon no change in the volume or composition of debt at December 31, 2000. A significant increase in debt could make the risk of interest rate fluctuations material to the Company's operating results. The Company purchases large quantities of raw materials and components -- mainly steel, aluminum, ballasts, sockets, wire, plastic, lenses, glass, and corrugated cartons. The Company's operating results could be affected by the availability and price fluctuations of these materials. The Company uses multiple suppliers, has alternate suppliers for most materials, and has no significant dependence on any single supplier. No consequential supply problems have been encountered in recent years. Price risk for these materials is related to increases in commodity items that effect all users of the materials, including our competitors. In recent years, few of these materials have had volatile prices, and the primary price trend has been slightly downward. Historically, significant price increases in these materials have been passed along in industry-wide price adjustments to customers, mitigating the Company's exposure to supplier price fluctuations. The Company does not actively hedge or use derivative instruments to manage its risk in this area. In 2000, approximately 14% of the Company's net sales were generated from operations in Canada, the majority of which were products manufactured and sold within Canada. As of December 31, 2000, approximately 20% of the Company's total assets were in Canada. The Company's financial condition and operating results are affected by changes in Canadian dollar exchange rates, but management does not regard this risk as material and, therefore, does not actively hedge or use derivative instruments to manage risk in this area. 9 ITEM 8.
