accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 7 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION ----------------------------- (Dollars Stated in Thousands) (Except for Share and Per Share Data) Note 1 - ------ The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Company, the quarterly report includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements presented. Such interim financial information is subject to year-end adjustments and independent audit. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications of prior year presentations have been made to conform to the 2003 presentation.

The securitization program provides for the sale of certain of the Company's trade receivables on a revolving basis to Graybar Commerce Corporation (GCC), a wholly owned, bankruptcy remote, special purpose subsidiary. GCC sells an undivided interest in the receivables to an unrelated multi-seller commercial paper conduit. The Company accounts for the securitization as an on-balance sheet financing arrangement because the Company has maintained effective control of the accounts receivable through a call option that gives GCC the unilateral right to repurchase the undivided interests. Accordingly, the accounts receivable and related debt are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. GCC has granted a security interest in its trade receivables to the commercial paper conduit. There were no borrowings outstanding under the securitization program at June 30, 2003. Note 4 - ------ In January 2003 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." The interpretation requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns, or both. The Company has two operating lease arrangements with an independent lessor which have provided $63,684 of off-balance sheet financing for eight of the Company's zone distribution facilities. Each of the agreements carries a five-year term. The Company has the option, with the consent of the lenders to the lessor, to renew the leases for up to two additional five-year terms or to purchase the property for a price including the outstanding lease balance. If the Company elects not to renew the lease or purchase the property, or such lenders refuse to consent to a renewal, the Company may elect to remarket the property and arrange for its sale to a third party. The leasing structures used in these two lease arrangements qualify as variable interest entities under Interpretation No. 46 and the Company's interests in the variable interest entities are required to be consolidated in the Company's financial statements beginning in the fourth quarter of 2004. As of June 30, 2003 the Company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the two lease arrangements is $62,456, the amount guaranteed by the Company as the residual fair value of the property in accordance with the lease arrangements. 9 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------------------------------- (Dollars Stated in Thousands) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- The following table sets forth certain information relating to the operations of the Company expressed as a percentage of net sales: Six Months Ended June 30: 2003 2002 ---- ---- Net Sales 100.0% 100.0% Cost of Merchandise Sold (80.5) (81.5) ---------- ---------- Gross Margin 19.5 18.5 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (18.0) (16.9) Depreciation and amortization (.9) (.8) ---------- ---------- Income from operations .6 .8 Other Income, net .3 .1 Interest Expense (.7) (.7) ---------- ---------- Income Before Provision for Income Taxes .2 .2 Provision for Income Taxes (.1) (.1) ---------- ---------- Net Income .1% .1% ========== ========== Net sales in the first six months of 2003 decreased $202,670, or 10.1%, to $1,811,326 compared to $2,013,996 in the first six months of 2002. The lower net sales resulted from the generally depressed economic conditions that continue to be prevalent on an industry-wide basis in the electrical and communications market sectors in which the Company operates. The general slowdown in new construction projects and the reduction in capital spending by commercial and industrial customers that began in 2001 has continued throughout 2002 and the first six months of 2003. Communications market activity remains severely depressed as a result of excess infrastructure and plant and network capacity in the marketplace. Electrical market sales decreased 8.2% and communications market sales decreased 16.8% when comparing the first six months of 2003 to the first six months of 2002. Gross margin decreased $18,719, or 5.0%, from $372,345 in the first six months of 2002 to $353,626 in the first six months of 2003 primarily due to the lower sales in the electrical and communications markets. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $14,267, or 4.2%, when comparing the first six months of 2003 to the first six months of 2002 primarily due to reductions in the Company's employment levels which resulted in lower salary expenses of approximately $18,000. The decrease in these expenses was partially offset by an increase in expenses related to the implementation of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system of approximately $4,300. The Company expects that the decrease in employment levels will be sustainable until such time as there is a significant growth in sales. Depreciation and amortization increased from $16,566 in the first six months of 2002 to $17,785 in the first six months of 2003 primarily due to additional amortization expenses as a result of the implementation of the ERP system during the second quarter of 2003. Other income, net includes gains on sale of property of $3,038 and $0 and accounts receivable interest charges to customers of $644 and $784 in the first six months of 2003 and the first six months of 2002, respectively. Interest expense decreased $3,117, or 20.9%, when comparing the first six months of 2003 to the first six months of 2002 primarily due to lower interest rates on short-term borrowings 10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------------------------------- (Dollars Stated in Thousands) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) - --------------------- and decreased levels of short-term borrowings required to finance lower levels of inventory and receivables. The combined effect of the decrease in gross margin and the increase in other income, together with the increase in depreciation and amortization and decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense, resulted in a decrease in pretax earnings of $64 in the first six months of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY - --------------------------------- At June 30, 2003, current assets exceeded current liabilities by $404,229, down $41,404 from December 31, 2002. The increase in accounts receivable from December 31, 2002 to June 30, 2003 resulted primarily from higher sales volume in May and June of 2003 compared to sales for November and December of 2002. The average number of days of sales in accounts receivable has increased slightly during the first six months of 2003. Merchandise inventory decreased when comparing June 30, 2003 to December 31, 2002 due largely to continuing reductions in specific inventory carried to support customer contract agreements and lower inventory levels required to support the overall decrease in sales volume. The increase in trade accounts payable resulted primarily from additional dating taken on supplier payments. The Company is converting its existing computer systems to an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Implementation of the new system began in April 2003. The total project costs are expected to be approximately $92,000. The Company is funding the project through a combination of equipment leases and working capital. Project costs through June 30, 2003 are approximately $89,000, of which $74,739 has been capitalized. The Company expects that conversion to the new ERP system will provide future benefits to its results of operations. The Company does not have any other plans or commitments that would require significant amounts of additional working capital. At June 30, 2003, the Company had available to it unused lines of credit amounting to $436,055. These lines are available to meet short-term cash requirements of the Company. Short-term borrowings outstanding during 2003 through June 30 ranged from a minimum of $0 to a maximum of $162,539. The Company has funded its capital requirements from operations, stock issuances to its employees and long-term debt. During the first six months of 2003, cash provided by operations amounted to $60,882 compared to $94,570 cash provided by operations in the first six months of 2002. Cash provided from the sale of common stock and proceeds received on stock subscriptions amounted to $252 in the first six months of 2003. Additional cash of approximately $250 will be provided in the remainder of 2003 as a result of payments to be made for stock subscribed to by employees under the 2001 Common Stock Purchase Plan. 11 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY (Continued) - --------------------------------------------- Capital expenditures for property for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were $40,258 and $28,401, respectively. Purchases of treasury stock for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were $3,639 and $3,185, respectively. Dividends paid for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were $10,423 and $10,111, respectively. Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ----------------------------- There have been no material changes in the policies, procedures, controls or risk profile from that provided in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES ----------------------- An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2003. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. On April 1, 2003, the Company implemented the first phase of its conversion to a new ERP platform. In connection therewith, certain of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures have been modified at certain locations to reflect the new system environment. 12 PART II: OTHER INFORMATION Item 4.
