First-quarter Business Review

During the first quarter IR realigned its businesses to reflect its change to a market-focused organization.

The Climate Control Sector includes Thermo King(R) transport temperature control equipment. The sector's first quarter revenues totaled $320.4 million, an increase of 10% compared to last year, reflecting improved results for the North American North American

 increased by 2% to $38.7 million. Operating margins declined primarily because of unfavorable currency comparisons. Without the impact of currency operating earnings would have increased 20%.

The Industrial Productivity Sector is composed of a diverse group of businesses focused on providing solutions for customers to enhance industrial efficiency. First-quarter revenues on a comparable basis increased approximately 1%. Reported revenues of $741.4 million declined slightly, compared to last year, as a result of the sale of the Automation Division in the fourth quarter of 1999. Operating earnings increased by 22% to $88.6 million. All businesses in the sector reported improved operating margins. The Industrial Productivity Sector consists of three segments:

Air Solutions, which provides equipment and services for compressed air compressed air, air whose volume has been decreased by the application of pressure. Air is compressed by various devices, including the simple hand pump and the reciprocating, rotary, centrifugal, and axial-flow compressors.  systems, had revenues in the first quarter of $188.9 million, an improvement of 9% compared to 1999. Earnings improved by 18% to $19.8 million, reflecting ongoing cost reduction and efficiency programs.

Bearings and Components provides motion control technologies to the automotive and industrial markets. Revenues for the quarter declined by 7% to $304.8 million, as lower revenues for industrial bearings and automotive components, related to the loss of the camshaft business in 1999, more than offset gains made in automotive bearings. Earnings and margins improved because of better product mix and ongoing cost and expense reduction activities.

Industrial Products includes Club Car(R) golf cars and utility vehicles; tools; and related industrial production equipment. First-quarter revenues on a comparable basis increased by 7%. Reported revenues of $247.7 million in the first quarter declined by 5%, compared to the first quarter of 1999, reflecting the absence of revenues related to the sale of the Automation Division, which had been part of the Industrial Products businesses. Club Car revenues improved by more than 10% and tool revenues improved slightly. Operating earnings of $36.2 million increased by 33% because of improved volume for continuing businesses, cost reduction activities, and the absence of the Automation Division.

The Infrastructure Development Sector includes Bobcat bobcat: see lynx.
bobcat

Bobtailed, long-legged North American cat (Lynx rufus) found in forests and deserts from southern Canada to southern Mexico. It is a close relative of the lynx and caracal.
(R) compact equipment; road pavers and compactors; portable power products; and drilling equipment. This sector's revenues totaled $581.4 million, an increase of 6% over last year's first-quarter. Operating earnings of $96.9 million increased by 9% and the operating margin was 16.7% of sales. Revenues of Bobcat and U.S. paving equipment increased by approximately 10%, while portable power and drill revenues increased modestly. Operating earnings increased in all the businesses because of higher revenues and ongoing productivity actions.

The Security and Safety Sector includes architectural hardware products and electronic access-control technologies. For this sector, revenues increased by 15% to $333.5 million, compared to the prior year. Operating earnings increased by 17% to $62.9 million. Revenues and earnings were strong in both residential and commercial markets during the quarter.

Comparison of Other Quarterly Income Statement Items

Other income/(expense) totaled $2.9 million of income for the first quarter of 2000, an improvement of $6.0 million, compared to last year's first quarter. This change is primarily attributable to the gain on the sale of NASTECH, the company's steering-column assembly joint ventures with NSK NSK Not Specified By Kind
NSK North Side Kings (band)
NSK Noril'sk (Russia)
NSK Neue Slovenische Kunst (German: New Slovenian Art; art collective) 
. Interest expense for the quarter of $48.2 million was $4.3 million below last year's first quarter because of lower average debt balances. Minority interest charges of $7.5 million increased slightly, compared to last year, and primarily represent payments on the company's equity-linked securities. The company's effective tax rate was 35.5% in the first quarters of 2000 and 1999.

"We are already involved in several programs to increase our e-business presence in our four market sectors. The new unit will accelerate our involvement and allow us to identify additional growth opportunities for launching new e-business initiatives throughout IR.

"Also during the first quarter, we made three bolt-on acquisitions. These acquisitions improved our product line and geographic coverage. Two of the acquisitions are in the Infrastructure Development Sector.

This acquisition solidifies our position in the Japanese market and, with our existing production facility in China, strengthens our ability to serve the growing Asian markets.

"Even though these businesses are modest in size we expect them to contribute approximately three cents to earnings in 2000.

"We also entered two new supply agreements in the first quarter. We signed a five-year global supply agreement with Aggreko plc to supply all of their future oil-free air equipment requirements. Aggreko, based in Glasgow, Scotland, is a leading supplier of temporary power and oil-free compressed air services through an international network of 108 locations in 24 countries. With this agreement we will increase our participation in the growing worldwide market for oil-free compressed air services.

, and we expect our ongoing focus on manufacturing excellence, working capital management and aggressive corporate development activities to drive our earnings and cash flow growth," Henkel said. "We are in a good position to achieve diluted earnings per share of around $4.00 in 2000. Our operating earnings strength and excellent working capital management have put us on course to generate more than $500 million in free cash flow, after capital expenditures and dividends, for 2000. In addition, we expect to invest $150 million to $200 million of the gain from the sale of IDP to accelerate productivity initiatives throughout the company. This will include plant rationalizations, organizational realignments consistent with our new market-based structure and consolidation of our "back office" business processes. The savings from these programs should add 8 to 12 cents of earnings per share to year 2000 results."
