The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and the Company's description of critical accounting policies, included in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109") to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" ("FSP 109-1"). The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "Jobs Act"), enacted October 22, 2004, provides a tax deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities. FSP 109-1 provides the treatment for the deduction as a special deduction as described in SFAS No. 109. FSP 109-1 is effective prospectively as of January 1, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the manufacturer's deduction will have on future results. and has completed a preliminary evaluation of the impact of the deduction for qualified production activities will have on its effective tax rate for 2005. Currently, the Company projects that the qualified production deduction will result in a benefit of approximately one-half of one percent, which has been reflected in the Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2005. The Company will finalize its analysis of the benefits of the qualified activities production deduction when final regulations are issued by the U.S. Treasury Department. Those regulations are expected to be issued in the next 12 to 18 months.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 109-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" ("FSP 109-2"), which provides guidance under SFAS No. 109 with respect to recording the potential impact of the repatriation provisions of the Jobs Act on enterprises' income tax expense and deferred tax liability. FSP 109-2 states that an enterprise is allowed time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Jobs Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying FASB Statement No. 109. The Company has not yet completed evaluating the impact of the repatriation provisions and has not adjusted its tax expense or deferred tax liability to reflect the repatriation provisions of the Jobs Act.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs-An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4" ("SFAS 151"). SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage). Among other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and re-handling costs be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal" as stated in ARB No. 43. Additionally, SFAS 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS 151 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and

supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Transition may be accomplished using either the prospective or retrospective method. The Company currently measures compensation costs related to share-based payments under APB Opinion No. 25. The Company is currently evaluating the transition methods under SFAS 123R. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that the effective date of SFAS 123R should be no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value). Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, which matches current costs with current revenues, for approximately 64% of the inventories at April 2, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for the remaining inventories.

Effective January 1, 2003 the Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." This statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation and requires prominent disclosure in both the annual and interim financial statements of the method of accounting used and the financial impact of stock-based compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 123 the Company accounts for stock options granted as prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," which recognizes compensation cost based upon the intrinsic value of the award.

If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the fair value at the grant dates for awards under these plans, the Company's net earnings per share would have been reduced as follows:

The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which requires companies to present basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

Dilutive common stock options are included in the diluted EPS calculation using the treasury stock method. Options to purchase common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive were 7 and 7 shares for the three month period ended April 2, 2005 and April 3, 2004, respectively.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company is a leading producer of floorcovering products for residential and commercial applications in the United States. The Company is the second largest carpet and rug manufacturer, and a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of ceramic tile and natural stone, in the United States. The Company has two reporting segments, the Mohawk segment and the Dal-Tile segment. The Mohawk segment distributes its product lines, which include broadloom carpet, rugs, pad, ceramic tile, hardwood, resilient and laminate, through its network of approximately 52 regional distribution centers and satellite warehouses using its fleet of company-operated trucks, common carrier or rail transportation. The segment products are purchased by independent floor covering retailers, home centers, mass merchandisers, department stores, independent distributors, commercial dealers, and commercial end users. The Dal-Tile segment product lines include ceramic tile, porcelain tile and stone products distributed through approximately 252 company-operated sales service centers and regional distribution centers using primarily common carriers and rail transportation. The segment products are purchased by tile specialty dealers, tile contractors, floor covering retailers, commercial end users, independent distributors, and home centers.

The Company reported net earnings of $70.0 million or diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $1.03, up 5.1%, for the first quarter of 2005 compared to net earnings of $66.3 million or $.98 EPS for the first quarter of 2004. The improvement in EPS resulted primarily from price increases and internal sales growth from certain products in both the Mohawk and Dal-Tile segments and better leveraging of selling, general and administrative costs, offset by higher raw material and energy costs.

The Company believes its financial condition remained strong in the first quarter of 2005 as evidenced by the Company's debt to capitalization ratio of 25.1%.

Net sales for the quarter ended April 2, 2005 were $1,493.2 million, reflecting an increase of $103.5 million, or approximately 7.4%, from the $1,389.7 million reported in the quarter ended April 3, 2004. The increased net sales are primarily attributable to price increases and volume growth. The Mohawk segment recorded net sales of $1,091.3 million in the current quarter compared to $1,030.4 million in the first quarter of 2004, representing an increase of $60.9 million or approximately 5.9%. The increase was primarily attributable to price increases in certain product lines and volume growth within the hard surface product lines. The Dal-Tile segment recorded net sales of $401.9 million in the current quarter, reflecting an increase of $42.6 million or approximately 11.9%, from the $359.3 million reported in the first quarter of 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to price increases, internal growth and improved product mix.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2005 was $384.7 million (25.8% of net sales) and represented an increase of $19.2 million from gross profit of $365.5 million (26.3% of net sales) for the prior year's first quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the current quarter was unfavorably impacted by increased raw material, energy and distribution costs caused by increased natural gas, oil and commodity prices and lower volume in soft surface product categories when compared to the first quarter of 2004.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2005 were $261.1 million (17.5% of net sales) compared to $246.5 million (17.7% of net sales) for the prior year's first quarter. The decrease in percentage was attributable to both the Mohawk and Dal-Tile segments leveraging selling, general and administrative expenses over increased net sales.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2005 was $123.6 million (8.3% of net sales) compared to $119.0 million (8.6% of net sales) in the first quarter of 2004. Operating income as a percentage of net sales in the current quarter was unfavorably impacted by increased raw material and energy costs, offset by selling price increases, the leveraging of selling, general and administrative costs (as a percent of net sales) and the growth in volume within the hard surface product categories. Operating income attributable to the Mohawk segment

was $65.6 million (6.0% of segment net sales) in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $71.8 million (7.0% of segment net sales) in the first quarter of 2004. Operating income attributable to the Dal-Tile segment was $58.5 million (14.5% of segment net sales) in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $49.4 million (13.8% of segment net sales) for the first quarter of 2004.

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2005 was $11.9 million compared to $14.0 million in the first quarter of 2004. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to lower average debt levels and higher capitalized interest offset by higher average interest rates in the current quarter when compared to the first quarter of 2004.

Income tax expense was $39.7 million, or 36.2% of earnings before income taxes for the first quarter of 2005 compared to $37.4 million, or 36.0% of earnings before income taxes for the prior year's first quarter.

The Company's primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures, and acquisitions. The Company's capital needs are met primarily through a combination of internally generated funds, bank credit lines, term and senior notes, the sale of trade receivable and credit terms from suppliers.

Cash flows generated by operations for the first three months of 2005 were $50.7 million compared to $3.2 million for the first three months of 2004. Contributing to the improved cash flow was the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, which increased from $623.1 million at the beginning of 2005 to $756.9 million at April 2, 2005. The increase was offset by an increase in accounts receivable, which increased from $660.7 million at the beginning of 2005 to $739.8 million at April 2, 2005 and inventories, which increased from $1,018.0 million at the beginning of 2005 to $1,145.7 million at April 2, 2005.

Net cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2005 was $85.1 million compared to $13.2 million for the first three months of 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to increased capital and acquisition related expenditures in the first three months of 2005 when compared to the first three months of 2004. Capital expenditures were incurred primarily to modernize, add, and expand manufacturing and distribution facilities and equipment. Capital spending during the remainder of 2005 for both the Mohawk and Dal-Tile segments combined, excluding acquisitions, is expected to range from $205 million to $225 million, and will be used primarily to purchase equipment and to add manufacturing capacity.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first three months of 2005 and 2004 was $34.4 million and $9.9 million, respectively. The primary reason for the change was an increase in debt to finance an acquisition and capital expenditures. The Company's debt to capitalization ratio was 25.1% at April 2, 2005.

At April 2, 2005, the Company had credit facilities of $300 million under its revolving credit line and $50 million under various short-term uncommitted credit lines. All of these lines are unsecured. At April 2, 2005, a total of approximately $237.9 million was available under both the credit facility and uncommitted credit lines. The amount used consisted of $34.9 million under the Company's five-year revolving credit facility and unsecured credit lines, $55.6 million standby letters of credit guaranteeing the Company's industrial revenue bonds and $21.6 million standby letters of credit related to various insurance contracts and foreign vendor commitments.

The Company has an on-balance sheet trade accounts receivable securitization agreement ("Securitization Facility"). The Securitization Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $350 million based on available accounts receivable. At April 2, 2005, the Company had approximately $120.0 million outstanding secured by approximately $675.2 million of trade receivables.

As of April 2, 2005, the Company's contractual obligations have increased by approximately $65.6 million related to operating leases that the Company entered into since December 31, 2004. There have been no further significant changes to the Company's contractual obligation table as disclosed in the Company's 2004 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

There were no significant changes to the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates during the period. The Company's critical accounting policies and estimates are described in the Company's 2004 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109") to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" ("FSP 109-1").

The Company will finalize its analysis of the benefits of the qualified activities production deduction when final regulations are issued by the U.S. Treasury Department. Those regulations are expected to be issued in the next 12 to 18 months.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Transition may be accomplished using either the prospective or retrospective method. The Company currently measures compensation costs related to share-based payments under APB Opinion No. 25. The Company is currently evaluating the transition methods under SFAS 123R. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that the effective date of SFAS 123R should be no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005.

Inflation affects the Company's manufacturing costs, distribution costs and operating expenses. The carpet and tile industry has experienced significant inflation in the prices of raw materials and fuel-related costs beginning in the first quarter of 2004. For the period from 1999 through 2004 the carpet and tile industry

experienced moderate inflation in the prices of raw materials and fuel-related costs. In the past, the Company has generally passed along these price increases to its customers and has been able to enhance productivity to offset increases in costs resulting from inflation in both the United States and Mexico.

The Company is a calendar year-end company and its results of operations for the first quarter tend to be the weakest. The second, third and fourth quarters typically produce higher net sales and operating income. These results are primarily due to consumer residential spending patterns for floorcovering, which historically have decreased during the first two months of each year following the holiday season.

Certain of the statements in this Form 10-Q, particularly those anticipating future performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies, proposed acquisitions, and similar matters, and those that include the words "believes," "anticipates," "forecast," "estimates" or similar expressions constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For those statements, Mohawk claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will be accurate because they are based on many assumptions, which involve risks and uncertainties. The following important factors could cause future results to differ: changes in industry conditions; competition; raw material prices; energy costs; timing and level of capital expenditures; integration of acquisitions; introduction of new products; rationalization of operations; and other risks identified in Mohawk's SEC reports and public announcements.

The Company's exposures to market risk have not changed significantly since December 31, 2004.

Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls and procedures were effective for the period covered by this report. No change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Company is involved in routine litigation from time to time in the regular course of its business. There are no material legal proceedings pending or known to be contemplated to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.
