BASIS OF PRESENTATION Throughout this Form 10-Q, the term "Company" as used herein refers to The Genlyte Group Incorporated, including the consolidation of The Genlyte Group Incorporated and Genlyte Thomas Group LLC ("Genlyte Thomas"). The term "Genlyte" as used herein refers only to The Genlyte Group Incorporated. The financial information included is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. These results include the operations of Genlyte Thomas for the first nine months of 1999 but only for the month of September in 1998. See Note 5 regarding the formation of Genlyte Thomas. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended October 2, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. 2. USE OF ESTIMATES Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME During the first quarter of 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income." The Statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. For the three months ended October 2, 1999 and October 3, 1998, total comprehensive income was $8,926 and $39,999, respectively. For the nine months ended October 2, 1999 and October 3, 1998, total comprehensive income was $24,815 and $52,256, respectively. Total comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods in 1998 included a $34,217 after-tax gain on the formation of Genlyte Thomas. 5 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE The calculation of the average common shares outstanding assuming dilution for the three months ended October 2, 1999 and October 3, 1998 follows: 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- Average common shares outstanding 13,891 13,723 Incremental common shares issuable: Stock option plans 38 5 ----------- ----------- Average common shares outstanding assuming dilution 13,929 13,728 =========== =========== The calculation of the average common shares outstanding assuming dilution for the nine months ended October 2, 1999 and October 3, 1998 follows: 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- Average common shares outstanding 13,814 13,652 Incremental common shares issuable: Stock option plans 17 22 ----------- ----------- Average common shares outstanding assuming dilution 13,831 13,674 =========== =========== 5. FORMATION OF GENLYTE THOMAS GROUP LLC On August 30, 1998, 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 ("Genlyte Thomas"). Genlyte Thomas manufactures, sells, markets and distributes consumer, commercial, industrial and outdoor lighting fixtures and controls. Genlyte contributed substantially all of its assets and liabilities to Genlyte Thomas and received a 68% interest in Genlyte Thomas. Thomas contributed substantially all of its assets and certain related liabilities comprising Thomas Lighting and received a 32% interest in Genlyte Thomas. On an unaudited pro forma basis, assuming the business combination described above had occurred at the beginning of the nine-month period ended October 3, 1998, the results would have been: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------------------ ----------------------------- Oct. 2, 1999 Oct. 3, 1998 Oct. 2, 1999 Oct. 3, 1998 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net sales $ 257,811 $ 240,639 $ 738,932 $ 699,657 Net income 9,258 7,203 24,073 18,522 Earnings per share $ 0.66 $ 0.52 $ 1.73 $ 1.35 The pro forma results do not purport to state exactly what the Company's results of operations would have been had the business combination in fact been consummated as of the assumed date. 6 6. ACQUISITION OF LEDALITE ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS INC. AND INVESTMENT IN FIBRE LIGHT On June 30, 1999, Genlyte Thomas acquired the assets and liabilities of privately held Ledalite Architectural Products Inc., located in Vancouver Canada. For accounting purposes, the assets and liabilities acquired are valued at their fair values, which result from management's preliminary determination of purchase accounting adjustments and are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management considers reasonable under the circumstances. Consequently, the determination of these fair values as reflected in the balance sheet is subject to change. On May 10, 1999, Genlyte Thomas acquired a 2% interest (with rights to acquire an additional 6%) in Fibre Light International, based in Burleigh Heads, Queensland, Australia. The two companies then formed a jointly owned limited liability company named Fibre Light U.S. LLC, of which Genlyte Thomas owns 80%. The purchase price of these acquisitions was approximately $31.5 million, consisting of $8.5 million in cash payments and $23 million in borrowings. 7. PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS On September 13, 1999, Genlyte declared a dividend, as of the expiration (September 18, 1999) of the rights issued under the Stockholder Rights Plan dated as of August 29, 1989, of one preferred stock purchase right for each outstanding share of Genlyte's common stock. Under certain conditions, each right may be exercised to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of junior participating cumulative preferred stock at a price of $105.00 per share. The preferred stock purchased upon exercise of the rights will have a minimum preferential quartely dividend of $25.00 per share and a minimum liquidation payment of $100.00 per share. Each share of preferred stock will have one hundred votes. Rights become exercisable when a person, entity, or group of persons or entities (Acquiring Person) acquires, or 10 business days following a tender offer to acquire, ownership of 20% or more of Genlyte's outstanding common stock. In the event that any person becomes an Acquiring Person, each right holder will have the right to receive the number of shares of common stock having a then current market value equal to two times the aggregate exercise price of such rights. If Genlyte were to enter into certain business combination or disposition transactions with an Acquiring Person, each right holder will have the right to receive shares of common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the aggregate exercise price of the rights. Genlyte may redeem these rights in whole at a price of $.01 per right. The rights expire on September 12, 2009. 7 8. SEGMENT REPORTING During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No. 131). The Company's reportable operating segments include the Commercial Segment, the Residential Segment, and the Industrial and Other Segment. Inter-segment sales are eliminated in consolidation and therefore are not presented in the table below. For the three months ended October 2, 1999 and October 3, 1998: Industrial Commercial Residential and Other Total ----------------- ------------------ --------------- --------------- 1999 Net sales $ 190,364 $ 33,141 $ 34,306 $ 257,811 Operating profit 19,611 1,702 2,963 24,276 1998 Net sales $ 127,539 $ 24,579 $ 22,060 $ 174,178 Operating profit 12,950 1,379 2,001 16,330 For the nine months ended October 2, 1999 and October 3, 1998: Industrial Commercial Residential and Other Total ----------------- ------------------ --------------- --------------- 1999 Net sales $ 533,927 $ 103,326 $ 101,679 $ 738,932 Operating profit 50,106 5,192 8,934 64,232 1998 Net sales $ 325,325 $ 61,403 $ 47,901 $ 434,629 Operating profit 32,025 3,654 4,615 40,294 8 The Company has operations throughout North America.

United States Foreign Total ---------------- --------------- --------------- 1999 Net sales $ 648,276 $ 90,656 $ 738,932 Operating profit 55,390 8,842 64,232 Assets 490,997 97,701 588,698 1998 Net sales $ 376,617 $ 58,012 $ 434,629 Operating profit 35,009 5,285 40,294 Assets 434,318 67,284 501,602 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF THIRD QUARTER 1999 TO THIRD QUARTER 1998 Net sales for the third quarter of 1999 were $257.8 million, an increase of 48.0 percent from the third quarter of 1998. Net income for the third quarter of 1999 was $9.3 million ($.66 per share), a 34.2 percent increase over the third quarter 1998 net income of $6.9 million ($.50 per share). Sales and earnings for the third quarter of 1999 included the consolidated results of Genlyte Thomas for three months, compared to only one month in the third quarter of 1998, and included the results of Ledalite, following the June 30, 1999 acquisition. Net sales on a comparable division basis grew 4.8 percent for the third quarter over last year as the commercial construction markets that the Company serves continued their year-to-year growth for 1999. The formation of Fibre Light U.S. LLC and the acquisition of Ledalite are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's earnings in 1999, but they are expected to contribute to earnings in 2000 and beyond. Cost of sales for the third quarter of 1999 was 65.9 percent of net sales, compared to 64.4 percent in the third quarter of 1998. This increase results from the higher mix of commodity fluorescent products in the 1999 third quarter from Genlyte Thomas sales compared to the former Genlyte divisions. Selling and administrative expenses decreased to 24.6 percent of sales in the third quarter of 1999 from 26.2 percent in the third quarter of 1998 because expenses of the former Genlyte divisions decreased with increasing sales, and because of synergies related to corporate headquarters expenses. Operating profit increased 48.7 percent to $24.3 million in the third quarter of 1999 from $16.3 million in the third quarter of 1998 because of the consolidated results of Genlyte Thomas. Interest expense was $1.4 million in the third quarter of 1999 and 1998. Minority interest of $6.9 million represents the 32 percent interest of Thomas in the earnings of Genlyte Thomas for the third quarter of 1999, versus $2.9 million in the third quarter of 1998. The effective tax rate was approximately 42.1 percent and 43.0 percent for the 1999 and 1998 third quarters, respectively. COMPARISON OF FIRST NINE MONTHS 1999 TO FIRST NINE MONTHS 1998 Net sales for the first nine months of 1999 were $738.9 million, an increase of 70.0 percent from the first nine months of 1998. Net income for the first nine months of 1999 was $24.1 million ($1.73 per share), a 23.3 percent increase over 1998 net income of $19.5 million ($1.42 per share) for the comparable period. Sales and earnings for the first nine months of 1999 included the consolidated results of Genlyte Thomas for nine months, compared to only one month in the first nine months of 1998, and included the results of Ledalite, following the June 30, 1999 acquisition. 10 Net sales on a comparable division basis grew 4.8 percent for the first nine months over last year as the commercial construction markets that the Company serves continued their year-to-year growth for 1999. Cost of sales for the first nine months of 1999 was 66.9 percent of net sales, compared to 65.0 percent in the first nine months of 1998. This increase resulted from the higher mix of commodity fluorescent products in the 1999 first nine months from Genlyte Thomas sales compared to the former Genlyte divisions. Selling and administrative expenses decreased to 24.4 percent of sales in the first nine months of 1999 from 25.7 percent in the first nine months of 1998 because expenses of the corporate headquarters were lower in 1999 and sales were 70.0 percent higher. Operating profit increased 59.4 percent to $64.2 million in the first nine months of 1999 from $40.3 million in the first nine months of 1998 because of the consolidated results of Genlyte Thomas. Interest expense was $3.7 million in the first nine months of 1999, compared to $3.2 million in the first nine months of 1998, primarily due to an increase in short-term borrowings during the first quarter of 1999 over 1998 to fund increased working capital. This increase was offset somewhat by a reduction in interest rates compared to the same period last year. Minority interest of $18.6 million represents the 32 percent interest of Thomas in the earnings of Genlyte Thomas for the first nine months of 1999, versus $2.9 million in the first nine months of 1998. The effective tax rate was approximately 42.7 percent and 43.0 percent for the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents were $9.1 million at October 2, 1999, compared to $8.6 million at December 31, 1998. Total debt increased to $74.9 million at October 2, 1999, compared to $62.8 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in borrowings is due to the additional debt relating to the Ledalite and Fibre Light acquisitions. Working capital at October 2, 1999 was approximately $183.5 million, compared to $180.0 million at December 31, 1998. Cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months was $33.6 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $10.8 million in the first nine months last year. This increase was due mainly to the inclusion of Genlyte Thomas for the full nine months in 1999, compared to one month in 1998. Cash used in investing activities was $46.3 million, primarily for the Ledalite acquisition as well as for normal plant and equipment purchases. Cash provided by financing activities was $12.2 million, primarily from increased debt referenced above. The Company believes that currently available cash and borrowing facilities, combined with internally generated funds, should be sufficient to fund capital expenditures as well as any increase in working capital required to accommodate business needs in the foreseeable future. Effective October 7, 1999, Genlyte Thomas exercised its option to increase its revolving credit facility to $150 million from $125 million. This credit facility matures in August 2003. Total borrowings under this facility at October 2, 1999 were $22.0 million, classified as long-term. The Company's remaining long-term debt at October 2, 1999 consisted of $22.3 million payable to Thomas, $10.5 million in industrial revenue bonds, and $20.1 million in separate bank financing. 11 YEAR 2000 ISSUES The Company has substantially completed executing its plans to prepare its information technology (IT) systems and non-information technology systems with embedded technology (ET) for the year 2000 issue. Both internal and external resources were utilized to identify, correct, and test systems for year 2000 readiness. External resources included nationally recognized consulting firms and other specialized technology resource providers. The Company has identified and documented all IT and ET components believed to be affected by the year 2000 issue. This inventory includes mainframe hardware and software, personal computer hardware and software, communications hardware and software, and various other devices controlled by ET (security systems, telephone systems, HVAC systems, manufacturing machinery, etc.) which may contain date processing functions. The assessment of this inventory with regard to year 2000 readiness is also complete. The Company has determined the status of these components with regard to year 2000 readiness by contacting third party providers of these components or performing analyses utilizing internal or external resources. All components identified to date as non-year 2000 compliant have either been made compliant or are in the process of being replaced or upgraded to be made compliant. All core business systems are believed to be compliant. The only items remaining to be replaced or upgraded are non-critical to the core business processes. The Company has also been addressing the year 2000 readiness of third parties whose business interruption could have a material negative impact on the Company's business. These parties include raw material vendors, other service providers, and customers. Vendors, service providers, and selected customers have been contacted to determine their readiness. Through October 2, 1999 the Company has spent approximately $3.0 million on external resources, hardware and software required to address the year 2000 issue. Of this amount, approximately $1.1 million was spent in the first nine months of 1999. Management expects no significant additional external costs will be incurred in the remainder of 1999 to attain year 2000 readiness. Although numerous employees have also been used to address the year 2000 issue, the Company does not track their time and costs related to this effort. Despite diligent preparation, unanticipated third-party failures, more general public infrastructure failures, or other unforeseen issues within the Company's systems could have a material adverse impact on results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows in the fourth quarter of 1999 and beyond. However, management believes through execution of its plan, year 2000 processing will not cause significant disruptions in the Company's business. The statements contained in the foregoing year 2000 readiness disclosure are subject to certain protection under the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act. 12 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The statements in this document with respect to future results, future expectations, and plans for future activities may be regarded as forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and actual results may differ materially from those currently expected. The Company makes no commitment to disclose any revision to forward-looking statements, or any facts, events or circumstances after the date hereof that may bear upon forward-looking statements.
