PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Mohawk Industries, Inc. ("Mohawk" or the "Company", a term which includes the
Company and its subsidiaries, including its primary operating subsidiaries,
Mohawk Carpet Corporation ("Mohawk Carpet") and Aladdin Manufacturing
Corporation ("Aladdin Manufacturing", formerly known as Mohawk Manufacturing
Corporation)) is a leading producer of woven and tufted broadloom carpet and
rugs for residential and commercial applications. The Company is the second
largest carpet and rug manufacturer in the United States, with 1996 net sales of
approximately $1.8 billion. The Company designs, manufactures and markets carpet
and rugs in a broad range of colors, textures and patterns. The Company is
widely recognized through its premier brand names, some of which are "Mohawk,"
"Alexander Smith," "Horizon," "Mohawk Commercial," "Harbinger," "Helios,"
"American Rug Craftsmen," "Karastan," "Bigelow," "Aladdin" and "Galaxy," and
markets its products primarily through retailers and commercial dealers.
Mohawk's operations are vertically integrated from the extrusion of olefin resin
into fibers to the shipment of finished products.
History
The Company was organized in Delaware in 1988 to acquire Aladdin Manufacturing
from its predecessor owner, Mohasco Corporation, in a leveraged buy-out
transaction. The Company completed its initial public offering of common stock
in April 1992, raising approximately $42.5 million in proceeds, which were used
to retire indebtedness and redeem preferred stock outstanding at that time.
Mohawk acquired Horizon Industries, Inc. ("Horizon") in October 1992 for cash of
approximately $63.9 million and 2,673,000 shares of Common Stock valued at
approximately $22.5 million. Mohawk purchased American Rug Craftsmen, Inc.
("American Rug Craftsmen") in April 1993 for approximately $32.0 million in cash
and Karastan Bigelow in July 1993 for approximately $155.5 million, which was
substantially all cash. In May 1993, the Company completed an offering of
3,150,000 shares of Common Stock. Of the total number of shares, 2.4 million
were sold by the Company and 750,000 shares were sold by selling stockholders.
The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $46.0 million. On February
25, 1994, Mohawk acquired all of the common stock of Aladdin Mills, Inc.
("Aladdin") in exchange for approximately 13.6 million shares of Common Stock,
valued at $386.5 million, based upon the closing stock price at the date the
agreement was executed. On January 13, 1995, Mohawk acquired all of the capital
stock of Galaxy for $42.2 million in cash. On January 27, 1997, the Company
entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets of Diamond Rug & Carpet
Mills, Inc. through a pre-packaged plan of organization under the Bankruptcy
Code.
Industry
According to the most recent figures available from the United States
Department of Commerce, worldwide carpet and rug sales volume of American
manufacturers and their domestic divisions was 1.6 billion square yards in 1995.
This volume represents a market in excess of approximately $9.5 billion at the
"mill level", which management believes, based on standard industry mark-ups,
translates into approximately $15 billion to $17 billion at the retail level.
Based upon data obtained from recent industry publications, the worldwide carpet
and rug sales volume of American manufacturers in 1996 was approximately 1.6
billion square yards and $9.7 billion. The overall level of sales in the carpet
industry is influenced by a number of factors, including consumer confidence in
spending for durable goods, interest rates, turnover in housing, the condition
of the residential and commercial construction industries and the overall
strength of the economy.
Broadloom carpet (defined as carpet over six feet by nine feet in size)
represented 84% of the volume shipped by the industry in 1995. Tufted broadloom
carpet (a category that refers to the manner of construction in addition to
size) represented 81% of the broadloom industry volume shipped in 1995. The
broadloom carpet industry has two primary markets, residential and commercial,
with the residential market making up approximately 75% of industry volume
shipped and the commercial market comprising approximately 25% in 1995. An
estimated 62% of industry shipments is made in response to replacement demand,
which usually involves exact yardage (or "cut order") shipments that typically
1
provide higher profit margins than sales of carpet sold in full rolls. Because
the replacement business generally involves higher quality carpet cut to order
by the manufacturer, rather than the dealer, this business tends to be more
profitable for manufacturers than the new construction business.
Products and Markets
The Company designs, manufactures and markets hundreds of styles of carpet,
rugs and mats in a broad range of colors, textures and patterns. Mohawk
positions its products in all price ranges and emphasizes quality, style,
performance and service. The Company is widely recognized through its premier
brand names, "Mohawk," "Alexander Smith," "Horizon," "Mohawk Commercial,"
"Karastan Contract," "Bigelow Commercial," "Harbinger," "Helios," "American Rug
Craftsmen," "Karastan," "Bigelow," "Aladdin," "Townhouse," "Ciboney," "Modesto,"
"Hamilton," "New Visions" and "Galaxy," and markets its products primarily
through retailers, mass merchandisers, home centers, department stores,
boutiques and commercial dealers. Some products are also marketed through
private labeling programs.
Mohawk markets certain of its products outside the United States, but does not
consider sales of such products to be material.
Residential Broadloom Market
The residential market is the largest segment of the industry and represents a
significant portion of the Company's sales. The Company currently markets
approximately 350 residential products to more than 25,000 customers which
include independent retailers, department stores, mass merchandisers, buying
groups, and building and tenant improvement contractors.
The Company has positioned its premier residential brand names across all
price ranges with the Company product retail prices ranging from below $3 to
above $80 per square yard. "Mohawk," "Alexander Smith," "Horizon," "Galaxy,"
"New Visions," "Karastan" and "Bigelow" are positioned to sell primarily in the
medium-to-high retail price range in the residential broadloom market and these
lines are also sold under private labels. These lines have substantial brand
name recognition among carpet dealers and retailers with the "Karastan,"
"Mohawk," and "Bigelow" brands having the highest consumer recognition in the
industry. "Karastan" is the leader in the exclusive high end market. The
"Aladdin," "Townhouse," "Ciboney," "Modesto" and "Hamilton" brand names compete
in the low-to-medium retail price range.
Based on a recent industry survey, the Company is considered a leader within
the industry of U.S. carpet manufacturers providing marketing support. Through
dealer programs like Karastan Gallery, Mohawk Brand Excellence, New Visions,
Hamilton, Ciboney and Mohawk Carpet Color Center, the Company offers intensive
marketing and advertising support. These programs offer varying degrees of
support to dealers in such areas of sales and management training, display
racks, exclusive promotions and assistance in certain administrative functions
such as computer systems, accounting and insurance.
During 1996, the Company completed its realignment of the Aladdin, Galaxy and
Mohawk sales forces. Although these sales forces have maintained their separate
identities, they now report to common management on a regional basis. All of the
regional vice presidents report to one senior vice president of sales. Each
region has responsibility for sales, distribution and inventory management in
its region, all of which is coordinated by the senior vice president of sales at
a national level. The inventory management on a regional level is accomplished
by a hub-and-spoke warehouse network. In this system, Company trucks generally
deliver carpet from mill sites to regional warehouses. From there, it is shipped
to local distribution warehouses, then to retailers. The Company believes that
the current structure of the residential sales group has contributed to a more
efficient and profitable organization.
Commercial Market
The commercial market is divided into several segments: educational
institutions, corporate office space, hospitality facilities, retail space and
health care facilities. In addition, Mohawk produces and sells carpet for the
2
export market, the federal government and other niche businesses. Different
purchase decision makers and decision-making processes exist for each segment.
For example, in the corporate office segment, decisions are usually made by
architects or specifiers, whose responsibility is to manage the project budget
and coordinate interior design. In the institutional segment, by comparison,
decisions are often made by purchasing agents employed by the end user who have
longstanding relationships with carpet manufacturers. The commercial market is
generally a more complex market in which to sell than the residential market.
The Company's participation in the commercial market allows it to offset
partially the cyclical nature of its residential business.
In the commercial market, the Company markets its products under the brand
names "Mohawk Commercial," "Harbinger," "Aladdin," "Karastan Contract" and
"Bigelow Commercial." The marketing strategy of the Mohawk Commercial, Karastan
Contract and Bigelow Commercial brands is to leverage the brands' traditional
sales strength in the educational institution segment of the market to the
office, hospitality, retail and health care segments. These brands are comprised
of specialized products for these segments that emphasize product quality and
specification rather than just price.
The Harbinger brand is a specialized line of commercial carpet generally
specified by architects and designers for end users in the hospitality,
corporate, health care and institutional market sectors. Harbinger products are
largely custom designed and colored and are marketed through its sales
organization of commercial carpet sales specialists. The Harbinger brand is
considered to be an industry leader in product quality, styling and innovation
for the high-end commercial market. Harbinger products were the first to
introduce "graphics" tufting technology to the industry and have maintained
their product development leadership by employing tufting and dyeing
technologies that produce intricate multicolored patterns.
The Aladdin brand is marketed primarily to the "mainstreet" segment of the
commercial market. The "mainstreet" segment is generally comprised of the
low-to-medium price range styles and is distributed primarily through retail
dealers for smaller installations.
Woven commercial products accounted for a significant portion of the Company's
net sales of commercial product in 1996, including the Mohawk Commercial brand's
exclusive woven interlock products, which are manufactured by a unique weaving
process that increases performance, wear and durability. The Company's ability
to make woven carpet under the Mohawk Commercial, Karastan Contract and Bigelow
Commercial brand names in large volume for commercial applications
differentiates it from other manufacturers, most of which produce tufted carpet
almost exclusively. Woven carpet and specifically the Company's woven interlock
products sell at higher prices than tufted carpet and generally produce higher
profit margins. Management believes that the Company is the largest producer of
woven carpet in the United States and that the Company has several carpet
weaving machines and processes that no other manufacturer has, thereby allowing
the Company to create carpet to meet specifications that its competitors cannot
duplicate.
Residential Rug Market
The machine-made rug market is currently the fastest growing segment of the U.
S. carpet and rug industry with an annual growth rate estimated to be
approximately 11% in 1996. Much of this growth has occurred at the low-to-
medium retail price ranges. The distribution channels for the rug market
primarily include department stores, mass merchants, floorcovering stores,
catalog stores, home centers and furniture stores.
The Company's product lines include a broad array of rugs. The Karastan brand
name rugs represent the higher retail price ranges with one of the most valued
brand names in the industry and are distributed through specialty stores, along
with department and furniture stores. These are higher quality woven wool rugs
manufactured primarily on Axminster looms.
The Company emphasizes the fast growing lower retail price ranges through its
American Rug Craftsmen brand name. The rugs sold under this brand are primarily
woven polypropylene area rugs, tufted border rugs and decorative mats, which are
made from purchased matting material that is cut, serged and screen printed by
the Company. These products are distributed primarily through mass merchants and
home centers.
3
The Company also sells to the bath mat and washable bath rug segments of the
rug market through its Aladdin brand name. These are tufted nylon products which
are distributed through department stores and mass merchants.
Advertising and Promotion
The Company promotes its products in the form of co-operative advertising,
point-of-sale displays and marketing literature provided to assist in marketing
various carpet styles. Mohawk also continues to rely on the substantial brand
name identification of its "Mohawk," "Alexander Smith," "Horizon," "Mohawk
Commercial," "Harbinger," "Helios," "Karastan," "Bigelow," "Aladdin," "American
Rug Craftsmen" and "Galaxy" lines. The cost of producing display samples, a
significant promotional expense, is partially offset by sales of samples and
support from raw materials suppliers.
In 1997, the Carpet and Rug Institute approved a four-year national industry
advertising campaign with a $25 million annual budget. Funding for the program
will be raised from contributions from individual manufacturers in the carpet
industry, including suppliers of fiber, backing, latex and finished carpet and
rugs. Mohawk will be a participant in the campaign. The purpose of the program
is to advance consumer confidence, satisfaction and preference of carpet as the
floorcovering of choice.
Manufacturing and Operations
The Company's manufacturing operations are vertically integrated and include
the extrusion of resin into polypropylene and nylon fiber, yarn processing,
tufting, weaving, dyeing, coating and finishing. Capital expenditures are
primarily focused on increasing capacity, improving productivity and reducing
costs. Mohawk incurred $180.3 million in capital expenditures over the past
three years, including the $21.2 million purchase of polypropylene extrusion
equipment from Fiber One, primarily to modernize and expand manufacturing
equipment and facilities. These expenditures increased manufacturing efficiency
and capacity, while improving overall cost competitiveness.
Raw Materials and Suppliers
The principal raw materials the Company uses are nylon staple fibers; nylon
filament fibers; raw wool; polypropylene filament fibers; polyester staple
fibers; olefin resins; synthetic backing materials, polyurethane and latex; and
various dyes and chemicals. Mohawk obtains all of its major raw materials from
independent sources and all of its externally purchased nylon fibers from four
major suppliers: E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Monsanto Company, BASF
Corporation and AlliedSignal, Inc. Most of the fibers the Company uses in carpet
production are treated with stain-resistant chemicals. The Company has not
experienced significant shortages of raw materials in recent years.
Competition
All of the markets in which the Company does business are highly competitive,
with approximately 100 companies engaged in the manufacture and sale of carpet
in the United States. Carpet manufacturers also face competition from the hard
surface floorcovering industry. Based on industry publications, the top twenty
North American carpet and rug manufacturers (including their American and
foreign divisions) in 1995 had worldwide sales in excess of $10 billion, and the
top twenty manufacturers in 1990 had sales in excess of $6 billion. Mohawk, with
1996 net sales of approximately $1.8 billion, is the second largest domestic
producer of carpet and rugs (in terms of sales volume).
Certain of the Company's competitors have greater financial and other
resources than the Company. In particular, the industry has one large
competitor, Shaw Industries, Inc. ("Shaw"), whose fiscal 1996 domestic wholesale
net sales were $2.4 billion representing approximately one fourth of the
estimated total industry sales for calendar 1996. Shaw's size could permit
significant raw material purchasing power and certain other manufacturing cost
advantages compared with the rest of the industry.
4
The principal methods of competition within the industry are price, style,
quality and service. In both the residential and commercial markets, price
competition and market coverage are particularly important because there is
relatively little perceived differentiation among competing product lines.
Mohawk's recent investments in modernized, state-of-the-art manufacturing and
data processing equipment, the extensive diversity of equipment in which it has
invested and its marketing strategy contribute to its ability to compete
primarily on the basis of performance, quality, style and service, rather than
just price.
Trademarks
Mohawk uses several trademarks that it considers important in the marketing of
its products, including "Mohawk(R)," "Tommy Mohawk(R)," "Mohawk Color
Center(R)," "Alexander Smith(R)," "Horizon(R)," "Mohawk Commercial,"
"Harbinger(R)," "Helios(R)," "Commercial Horizons(R)," "Karastan(R),"
"Bigelow(R)," "Aladdin," "American Rug Craftsmen," "Townhouse," "Ciboney(R),"
"Hamilton(R)" and "Galaxy(R)."
Sales Terms and Major Customers
The Company's sales terms are the same as those generally available throughout
the industry. The Company generally permits its customers to return broadloom
carpet purchased from it within 30 days from the date of sale if the customer is
not satisfied with the quality of the carpet. This return policy is consistent
with the Company's emphasis on quality, style and performance and promotes
customer satisfaction without generating enough returns to affect materially the
Company's operating results or financial position.
During 1996, no single customer accounted for more than 4% of Mohawk's total
net sales. The Company believes the loss of one or a few major customers would
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
Backlog
Backlog of orders is generally insignificant in the carpet manufacturing
business because most residential orders are filled within several days and
commercial backlogs reflect the terms of the relevant contracts, which generally
require delivery within four to six weeks.
Employees
As of December 31, 1996, the Company employed approximately 12,000 persons.
Approximately 290 Mohawk employees are members of the Union of Needletrades,
Industrial and Textile Employees, AFL-CIO, CLC with which the Company is party
to a collective bargaining agreement. Other than with respect to these
employees, the Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreements.
Additionally, the Company has not experienced any strikes or work stoppages. The
Company believes that its relations with its employees are good.
Environmental Matters
The Company's operations must meet federal, state and local regulations
governing the discharge of materials into the environment. All of the plants
operated by the Company were built or have been upgraded to meet current
environmental standards. The Company believes it is in material compliance with
all applicable regulations. The Company estimates that any expenses incurred in
maintaining compliance with these regulations will not materially affect
earnings.
Cyclical Nature of Industry; Current Economic Conditions
The carpet industry is a cyclical business, influenced by a number of general
economic factors, including consumer confidence and spending for durable goods,
disposable income, interest rates, turnover in housing and the condition of the
residential and commercial construction industries (including the number of new
housing starts and the level of commercial construction). During economic
downturns, the carpet industry can be expected to experience a general decline
in sales and profitability.

(2) Includes a number of separately leased adjoining or adjacent buildings
with varying lease terms. The expiration date shown in the table is the
earliest expiration date of the respective group of leases.
The Company's properties are in good condition and adequate for its
requirements. The Company also believes its principal plants are generally
adequate to meet its production plans pursuant to its long-term sales goals. In
the ordinary course of its business, the Company monitors the condition of its
facilities to ensure that they remain adequate to meet long-term sales goals and
production plans.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in routine litigation from time to time in the regular
course of its business. Except as noted below, 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.
In June 1994, the Company and several other carpet manufacturers received
subpoenas to produce documents from a grand jury of the United States District
Court in Atlanta. The subpoenas were requested by the Antitrust Division of the
U. S. Department of Justice in connection with an investigation of the industry.
The Company believes that the results of this investigation will not have a
material adverse impact on the financial condition of the Company.
In December 1995, the Company and four other carpet manufacturers were added
as defendants in a purported class action lawsuit, In re Carpet Antitrust
Litigation, pending in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Georgia, Rome Division. The amended complaint alleges price fixing
regarding polypropylene products in violation of Section One of the Sherman Act.
The Company is a party to two consolidation lawsuits captioned Gaehwiler v.
Sunrise Carpet Industries, Inc. et. al. and Patco Enterprises, Inc. v. Sunrise
Carpet Industries, Inc. et. al.; both of which were filed in the Superior Court
of the State of California, City and County of San Francisco in early 1996. Both
complaints were brought on behalf of a purported class of indirect purchasers of
7
carpet in the State of California and seek damages for alleged violations of
California antitrust and unfair competition laws. The Company believes both of
these lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders of the Company during

(a) Certain of the Company's facilities suffered damage during the March 1993
blizzard, and the Company finalized settlement of the insurance claim during
the first quarter of 1994. The Company recorded reductions of $6.0 million
in cost of sales in each of the years 1993 and 1994 for reimbursements of
business interruption costs and $4.7 million in other income in 1993 related
to gains on fixed asset replacements.
(b) During 1995 and 1996, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring costs of
$8.4 million and $.7 million, respectively, related to certain mill closings
whose operations have been consolidated into other Mohawk facilities. During

related to the closing of a woven carpet manufacturing operation and the
relocation and consolidation of this operation with a facility acquired in
the purchase of Karastan Bigelow.
(c) During 1995, the Company adopted FAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," as of
January 1, 1995. A charge of $23.7 million was recorded for the reduction of
the carrying value of property, plant and equipment at certain mills. During
1996, the Company recorded a charge of $3.1 million arising from the write
down of property, plant and equipment to be disposed of related to the
closing of a manufacturing facility in 1996 and a revision in the estimate
of fair value of certain property, plant and equipment based on current
market conditions related to mill closings in 1995.
(d) A one-time charge of $4.0 million was recorded for income tax reimbursements
to be made to certain executives related to the exercise of stock options
granted in 1988 and 1989 in connection with the Company's 1988 leveraged
buy-out.
(e) The Company recorded a one-time charge of $10.2 million in 1994 for
transaction expenses related to the acquisition of Aladdin that were
incurred during the first quarter of 1994.
(f) During 1994, the Company reduced income tax expense by $2.0 million to
reflect a reduction in its effective tax rate and certain other changes in
the Company's federal and state income tax status.
(g) The extraordinary charge in 1992 relates to (i) redemption premiums and
prepayment penalties on certain indebtedness that was redeemed or repaid
with the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering and (ii) the
write-off of deferred loan costs associated with the former credit
agreement, which was replaced with a new credit agreement after the initial
public offering.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
General
During the three-year period ended December 31, 1996, the Company continued
to experience significant growth both internally and through acquisitions. In
February 1994, the Company exchanged approximately 13.6 million shares of Common
Stock, valued at $386.5 million (based upon the closing price of the Common
Stock at December 3, 1993, the date the agreement was entered into by Mohawk,
Aladdin and the shareholders of Aladdin), for all of the outstanding shares of
Aladdin common stock in a merger accounted for using the pooling-of-interests
basis of accounting. All financial data included in the Company's historical
consolidated financial statements were restated to include the accounts and
results of operations of Aladdin. In January 1995, the Company acquired all of
the issued and outstanding capital stock of Galaxy for $42.2 million in cash in
a business combination accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
These acquisitions have created other opportunities to enhance Mohawk's
operations by (i) expanding the Company's product lines to include many of the
most recognized brand names in the industry, (ii) increasing the Company's
ability to obtain volume discounts from suppliers, (iii) increasing production
efficiencies due to economies of scale and (iv) reducing the fixed cost
10
structure of the combined entities by eliminating redundant costs.
On January 27, 1997, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to
acquire certain assets of Diamond Rug & Carpet Mills, Inc. The proposed purchase
price will be a maximum of $43.0 million in cash, subject to adjustment based on
the level of inventory at closing. Under the asset purchase agreement, Mohawk
has agreed to purchase selected facilities owned by Diamond's principal
shareholders. If completed, the acquisition will be accomplished through a
prepackaged or other plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code and will be primarily financed through existing credit
facilities.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 1996 As Compared With Year Ended December 31, 1995
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 1996 were $1,795.1 million,
reflecting an increase of $146.5 million, or 9%, over the $1,648.5 million
reported in the year ended December 31, 1995. This sales increase was
attributable to an improvement in the Company's market share which the Company
believes primarily resulted from competitive changes in the retail segment of
the industry, Mohawk's realignment of its residential sales forces under a
regional structure, and Mohawk's strong product lines. The Company experienced a
significant increase in unit shipments as a result of these factors with average
net selling prices remaining flat as compared to 1995.
Quarterly net sales and the percentage changes in net sales by quarter for
1996 versus 1995 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
1996 1995 Change
---- ---- ------
First Quarter......................... $ 383,667 378,761 1.3%
Second Quarter........................ 474,552 429,241 10.6
Third Quarter......................... 471,199 425,594 10.7
Fourth Quarter........................ 465,638 414,921 12.2
----------- --------- ----
Total Year.......................... $ 1,795,056 1,648,517 8.9%
=========== ========= ====
Gross profit for 1996 was $426.7 million (23.8% of net sales) and represented
an increase over the gross profit of $366.6 million (22.2% of net sales) for
1995. Gross profit dollars for the current year were impacted favorably by
manufacturing improvements from restructuring and consolidating the residential
operations, higher production levels resulting in better absorption of fixed
costs, a reduction in certain raw material prices and manufacturing improvements
in other divisions. The manufacturing consolidations include the closing of five
residential manufacturing facilities during 1995 as well as the realignment of
the remaining residential mills to better utilize the strengths of each mill.
The Company's integration of its manufacturing, distribution and information
systems areas is progressing as planned and continues to contribute to the
margin improvement.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for 1996 were $303.3 million
(16.9% of net sales) compared to $282.5 million (17.1% of net sales) for 1995.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
decreased primarily due to better control of discretionary spending and better
leveraging of costs on strong sales growth.
During 1996, the Company recorded nonrecurring charges of (i) $3.1 million
which included $0.9 million, primarily to reduce the carrying value of certain
assets, related to the decision to close a spinning mill in Belton, South
Carolina and $2.2 million primarily arising from a revision in the estimate of
the fair value of certain land and buildings that were recently sold and (ii)
$0.7 million related to restructuring costs for the Belton spinning mill
closing.
The Company recorded restructuring costs of $8.4 million during 1995 related
to certain mill closings whose operations have been consolidated into other
Mohawk facilities. The after-tax effect of these costs was $5.2 million or $0.15
per share.
During 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of" (FAS No. 121) as of January 1, 1995. An impairment
loss of $23.7 million was recorded for the write-down of property, plant and
equipment at certain mills. The after-tax effect of the impairment loss was
$14.5 million, or $0.43 per share.
11
A one-time charge of $4.0 million was recorded during 1995 for income tax
reimbursements to be made to certain executives for the exercise of stock
options. The income tax reimbursements were recorded in connection with stock
options granted in 1988 and 1989 related to the Company's 1988 leveraged buyout.
The agreements allow the Company to receive an income tax benefit on its tax
return for the tax effect of the taxable compensation provided to the
individuals upon exercise of these options. Such income tax benefit resulted in
a direct increase in stockholders' equity.
Interest expense for the current year was $31.5 million compared to $35.0
million in 1995. The primary factors contributing to the decrease were a
reduction in debt levels and lower interest rates on the Company's revolving
credit agreement.
In the current year, income tax expense was $33.7 million, or 40.7% of
earnings before income taxes. In 1995, income tax expense was $4.0 million,
representing 38.7% of earnings before income taxes. The primary reason for the
lower effective tax rate in 1995 was certain nonrecurring deductions that were
treated as permanent differences in 1995.
Year Ended December 31, 1995 As Compared With Year Ended December 31, 1994
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $1,648.5 million,
reflecting an increase of $211.0 million, or 14.7%, over the $1,437.5 million
reported in the year ended December 31, 1994. This sales increase was
attributable primarily to increased unit shipments of broadloom carpet and rugs
during 1995 as a result of the acquisition of Galaxy as well as internal growth
by Aladdin and American Rug Craftsmen. The sales volume increase was partially
offset by a decrease in average net selling prices resulting from soft market
conditions, related to slow housing starts and resales in 1995, all of which
increased competitive pressures in the industry.
Quarterly net sales and the percentage changes in net sales by quarter for
1995 versus 1994 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
1996 1995 Change
---- ---- ------
First Quarter.......................... $ 378,761 327,025 15.8%
Second Quarter......................... 429,241 370,749 15.8
Third Quarter.......................... 425,594 377,484 12.7
Fourth Quarter......................... 414,921 362,282 14.5
---------- --------- ----
Total Year......................... $1,648,517 1,437,540 14.7%
Gross profit for 1995 was $366.6 million (22.2% of net sales) and
represented an increase over the gross profit of $329.7 million (22.9% of net
sales) for 1994. Gross profit dollars for the current year were impacted
favorably by the acquisition of Galaxy and the internal growth of Aladdin and
American Rug Craftsmen. The Company's gross profit was negatively impacted
during 1995 as a result of industry-wide raw material price increases in
polypropylene-based materials. In addition to the cost pressures, soft market
conditions increased competitive pressures in the industry during 1995. The
Company recorded a pre-tax reduction of $6.0 million in cost of sales in 1994
for the final reimbursement of business interruption costs related to the
insurance claim for property damage suffered in the March 1993 blizzard.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for 1995 were $282.5 million
(17.1% of net sales) compared to $231.2 million (16.1% of net sales) for 1994.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in dollars and as a percentage of
net sales increased primarily due to higher bad debt expense resulting from the
write-off of some large customers that filed for protection under bankruptcy
laws in 1995, and increased sample costs.
The Company recorded restructuring costs of $8.4 million during 1995 related
to certain mill closings whose operations have been consolidated into other
Mohawk facilities. The after-tax effect of these costs was $5.2 million or $0.15
per share.
During 1995, the Company adopted FAS No. 121 as of January 1, 1995. An
impairment loss of $23.7 million was recorded for the write-down of property,
plant and equipment at certain mills. The after-tax effect of the impairment
loss was $14.5 million, or $0.43 per share.
A one-time charge of $4.0 million was recorded during 1995 for income tax
reimbursements to be made to certain executives for the exercise of stock
options. The income tax reimbursements were recorded in connection with stock
12
options granted in 1988 and 1989 related to the Company's 1988 leveraged buyout.
The agreements allow the Company to receive an income tax benefit on its tax
return for the tax effect of the taxable compensation provided to the
individuals upon exercise of these options. Such income tax benefit resulted in
a direct increase in stockholders' equity.
Interest expense for the current year was $35.0 million compared to $27.1
million in 1994. Factors causing the increased interest expense were additional
debt required to finance capital expenditures in 1995 to expand production
capacity, and additional debt that was incurred in January 1995 to finance the
acquisition of Galaxy.
During 1994, the Company recorded a one-time non-operating charge of $10.2
million for transaction expenses related to the acquisition of Aladdin.
In 1995, income tax expense was $4.0 million, or 38.7% of earnings before
income taxes. In 1994, income tax expense was $25.2 million, representing 43.3%
of earnings before income taxes. The Company did not record an income tax
benefit for a significant portion of the $10.2 million one-time charge resulting
in a higher effective tax rate during 1994. During 1994, the Company reduced
income tax expense by $2.0 million to reflect a reduction in its effective tax
rate and certain other changes in the Company's federal and state income tax
status.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital
expenditures and acquisitions. The Company's working capital needs are met
through a combination of internally-generated funds, bank credit lines and
credit terms from suppliers.
The level of accounts receivable increased from $177.8 million at the
beginning of 1996 to $215.1 million at December 31, 1996. The $37.3 million
increase is attributable to strong sales growth. Inventories rose from $299.2
million at the beginning of 1996 to $302.7 million at December 31, 1996, due
primarily to the increased sales.
Capital expenditures totaled $63.3 million during 1996, which includes $21.2
million of equipment used primarily for the extrusion of polypropylene yarn that
was acquired in a noncash transaction in exchange for a promissory note due in
April 1997. The promissory note pays interest at a variable rate that ranges
from 0.25% to 0.875% above LIBOR and was paid in full in January 1997. The
capital expenditures made during 1996 were incurred primarily to modernize and
expand manufacturing facilities and equipment. The Company's capital projects
are primarily focused on increasing capacity, improving productivity and
reducing costs. Capital expenditures for Mohawk including the $21.2 million of
polypropylene extrusion equipment from Fiber One, have totaled $180.3 million
over the past three years. Capital spending during 1997 is expected to range
from $65 million to $70 million, the majority of which will be used to purchase
equipment to increase production capacity and productivity.
On June 6, 1996, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit
agreement to decrease its credit availability from $300 million to $250 million
due to decreasing external financing needs. At December 31, 1996, the Company
had $127.2 million of unused credit availability under its revolving credit
line. The credit agreement's interest rate either (i) ranges from 0.25% to
0.875% above LIBOR, depending upon the Company's performance measured against
specific coverage ratios, or (ii) is the prime rate. The credit agreement
contains customary financial and other covenants and restricts cumulative
dividend payments to $10.0 million as adjusted based on the Company's
performance and dividend payments. The Company must pay an annual facility fee
ranging from .0015 to .0025 of the total credit commitment, depending upon the
Company's performance measured against specific coverage ratios, under the
revolving credit line.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation affects the Company's manufacturing costs and operating expenses.
The carpet industry has experienced moderate inflation in the prices of raw
materials and outside processing for the last three years. The Company has
generally passed along nylon fiber increases to its customers.
Seasonality
The carpet business is seasonal, with the Company's second, third and fourth
quarters typically producing higher net sales and operating income. By
comparison, results for the first quarter tend to be the weakest. This
13
seasonality is primarily attributable to consumer residential spending patterns
and higher installation levels during the spring and summer months.
Forward-Looking Information
Certain of the matters discussed in the preceding pages, particularly
regarding anticipating financial performance, business prospects, proposed
acquisitions, new products and similar matters, constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
(In thousands, except per share data)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mohawk
Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Mohawk"). All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(b) Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition
The Company is a broadloom carpet and rug manufacturer and sells
carpet and rugs throughout the United States for residential and commercial use.
The Company grants credit to customers, most of whom are retail carpet dealers,
under credit terms that are customary in the industry.
Revenues are recognized when goods are shipped. The Company provides
allowances for expected cash discounts, returns, claims and doubtful accounts
based upon historical bad debt and claims experience and periodic evaluations of
the aging of the accounts receivable.
(c) Inventories
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 substantially all inventories
and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for the remaining inventories.
(d) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, including interest
on funds borrowed to finance the acquisition or construction of major capital
additions. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the
estimated remaining useful lives of the respective assets.
(e) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
(f) Earnings Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
The Company's earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings
by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding.
Dilutive common stock options are included in the earnings per share calculation
using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares outstanding for the
fourth quarter of 1995 (912 equivalent shares) and the first quarter of 1994
(1,358 equivalent shares) are excluded from the earnings per share computation
for 1995 and 1994 as the effect on loss per share for such quarters would have
been anti-dilutive.
20
MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)
In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("FAS No. 123"), which establishes a new method of accounting for
stock-based compensation arrangements with an entity's employees. The new method
is a fair value based method rather than the intrinsic value based method
prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("Opinion No. 25"). FAS No. 123 allows entities to retain the current approach
set forth in Opinion No. 25 for recognizing stock-based compensation expense in
the basic financial statements. Entities electing to apply the provisions of
Opinion No. 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net earnings and
earnings per share as if the fair value based method had been used. The Company
continues to apply the provisions of Opinion No. 25 for purposes of measuring
compensation cost in adopting FAS No. 123. The disclosure requirements of FAS
No. 123 are effective for 1996, but the effect of the pro forma disclosures on
the Company's comparative results of operations for 1995 and 1996 was
immaterial.
(g) Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and long-term debt. The
carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable
approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of such
instruments. Interest rates that are currently available to the Company for
issuance of long-term debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used
to estimate the fair value of the Company's long-term debt. The estimated fair
value of the Company's long-term debt at December 31, 1996 was $371,736,
compared to a carrying amount of $366,380.
(h) Fiscal Year
The Company ends its fiscal year on December 31. Each of the first
three quarters in the fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest the calendar
quarter end.
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill arises in connection with business combinations accounted for
as purchases. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.
Amortization charged to earnings was $1,481 in 1996 and 1995 and $1,506 in 1994.
(j) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of "("FAS No. 121"), as of January 1, 1995.
Under FAS No. 121, the Company evaluates impairment of long-lived assets on a
business unit basis, rather than on an aggregate entity basis, whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may
not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is
less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.
Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets is based on the fair
value of the asset.
(k) Reclassifications
Certain prior years' financial statement balances have been
reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.
(2) Acquisitions
On February 25, 1994, the Company acquired all of the common stock of
Aladdin in exchange for 13,562 shares of the Company's common stock. Aladdin
designs, manufactures and sells broadloom carpet and rugs. The acquisition of
Aladdin was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests basis of accounting
and, accordingly, the Company's historical consolidated financial statements
were restated to include the accounts and results of operations of Aladdin. The
Company incurred a one-time charge of $10,201 during the first quarter of 1994
for transaction expenses related to the acquisition of Aladdin, and such charge
is included as a non-operating expense for the year ended December 31, 1994.
21
MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)
On January 13, 1995, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Galaxy Carpet Mills, Inc. ("Galaxy") for $42,232 in
cash, including acquisition costs. Galaxy is a manufacturer and distributor of
broadloom carpet, primarily for the residential market. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the
purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair values
allocated were $112,583 for the assets acquired and $70,351 for the liabilities
assumed. Galaxy's results of operations are included in the Company's 1995
consolidated statement of earnings from the date of acquisition.
On January 27, 1997, the Company entered into an asset purchase
agreement to acquire certain assets of Diamond Rug & Carpet Mills, Inc.
("Diamond"). The proposed purchase price will be a maximum of $43,000 in cash,
subject to adjustment based on the level of inventory at closing. Under the
asset purchase agreement, Mohawk has agreed to purchase selected facilities
owned by Diamond's principal shareholders. If completed, the acquisition will be
accomplished through a prepackaged or other plan of reorganization under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

$2,169 and $1,382 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
During 1996, the Company recorded a charge of $3,060 arising from (a) the
write-down of property, plant and equipment to be disposed of related to the
closing of a manufacturing facility in 1996 and (b) a revision in the estimate
of fair value of certain property, plant and equipment based on current market
conditions related to mill closings in 1995 (see Note 12). The after-tax effect
of the charge for the year was $1,815, or $0.05 per share.
22
MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)
In connection with the adoption of FAS No. 121 in 1995, the Company
recorded impairment losses of $21,000 for the write-down of property, plant and
equipment to be held and used at certain mills and $2,711 for the write-down of
property, plant and equipment to be disposed of related to these mill closings.
The after-tax effect of these impairment losses for the year was $14,535, or
$0.43 per share. The Company primarily used a discounted cash flow analysis to
estimate the fair value of these assets.

(7) Note Payable and Long-Term Debt
In June 1996, the Company acquired certain equipment, primarily used for
the extrusion of polypropylene yarn, valued at $21,200 in exchange for a
promissory note due in April 1997. The promissory note pays interest at a
variable rate that ranges from 0.25% to 0.875% above LIBOR. The note was paid in
full in January 1997.
On June 6, 1996, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit
agreement to decrease its credit availability from $300,000 to $250,000 due to
decreasing external financing needs. At December 31, 1996, the Company had
$127,200 of unused credit availability under its revolving credit line. The
credit agreement's interest rate either (i) ranges from 0.25% to 0.875% above
LIBOR, depending upon the Company's performance measured against specific
coverage ratios, or (ii) is the prime rate. The credit agreement contains
customary financial and other covenants and restricts cumulative dividend
payments to $10,000 as adjusted based on the Company's performance and dividend
payments. The Company must pay an annual facility fee ranging from .0015 to
.0025 of the total credit commitment, depending upon the Company's performance
measured against specific coverage ratios, under the revolving credit line.
The capital stock of each of the Company's subsidiaries has been pledged
as collateral under the credit agreement, the term loans and the senior notes.
Long-term debt consists of the following:

A one-time charge of $4,000 was recorded in the fourth quarter of 1995
for income tax reimbursements to be made to certain executives for the exercise
of stock options. The income tax reimbursements were recorded in accordance with
the stock option agreements in 1988 and 1989 in connection with the Company's
1988 leveraged buyout. The agreements allow the Company to receive an income tax
benefit on its tax return for the tax effect of the taxable compensation
provided to the individuals upon the exercise of these options. Such income tax
benefit resulted in a direct increase in stockholders' equity of $7,606 in 1996
primarily from the exercise of these options.

(10) Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan (the "Plan") open to
in excess of 55% of its employees who have completed one year of eligible
service. The Company contributes $0.50 for every $1.00 of employee contributions
up to a maximum of 4% of the employee's salary. Employee and employer
contributions to the Plan were $6,308 and $2,061 in 1996, $6,970 and $2,225 in
1995 and $7,073 and $2,214 in 1994, respectively.
Substantially all of the remaining employees are eligible to
participate in a defined contribution profit sharing plan. Contributions are
discretionary and the Company expensed $2,130, $1,875 and $2,441 for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
(11) Insurance Claim
Certain of the Company's facilities located in Calhoun, Georgia
suffered damage during the blizzard that hit the Eastern United States on March
13, 1993, resulting in temporary interruptions to the operations of these
facilities. All of the damage was fully insured against (both on a business
interruption and property basis), and the Company finalized settlement of the
insurance claim during the first quarter of 1994. The Company recorded a
reduction of $6,005 in cost of sales for reimbursements of business interruption
costs for the year ended December 31, 1994.
(12) Restructuring Costs
During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company decided to close a
spinning mill in Belton, South Carolina, the operations of which are being
consolidated into other Mohawk facilities. For the year ended December 31, 1996,
the Company recorded restructuring costs of $700 related to employee termination
benefits, environmental clean-up and other costs associated with the mill
closing. The after-tax effect of the restructuring costs for the year was $415,
or $0.01 per share.
During 1995, the Company closed five residential manufacturing
facilities, the operations of which are being consolidated into other Mohawk
facilities. During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company recorded
restructuring costs of $8,439 related to employee termination benefits,
relocating inventories and equipment and other costs associated with the mill
closings. The amount of termination benefits accrued and charged to expense was
$2,250 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The benefits accrued were for 945
employees, who were principally involved in manufacturing operations. The amount
of actual termination benefits paid and charged against the liability as of
December 31, 1995 was $2,186, covering approximately 930 employees. The after-
tax effect of the restructuring costs for the year was $5,173, or $0.15 per
share. All of these costs have been paid as of December 31, 1996.
(13) Income Taxes
Income tax expense attributable to earnings before income taxes for

MOHAWK INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)
In June 1994, the Company and several other carpet manufacturers
received subpoenas to produce documents from a grand jury of the United States
District Court in Atlanta. The subpoenas were requested by the Antitrust
Division of the U.S. Department of Justice in connection with an investigation
of the industry. The Company believes that the results of this investigation
will not have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of the
Company.
In December 1995, the Company and four other carpet manufacturers were
added as defendants in a purported class action lawsuit, In re Carpet Antitrust
Litigation, pending in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Georgia, Rome Division. The amended complaint alleges price fixing
regarding polypropylene products in violation of Section One of the Sherman Act.
The Company is a party to two consolidation lawsuits captioned Gaehwiler v.
Sunrise Carpet Industries, Inc. et. al. and Patco Enterprises, Inc. v. Sunrise
Carpet Industries, Inc. et. al.; both of which were filed in the Superior Court
of the State of California, City and County of San Francisco in early 1996. Both
complaints were brought on behalf of a purported class of indirect purchasers of
carpet in the State of California and seek damages for alleged violations of
California antitrust and unfair competition laws. The Company believes both of
these lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.
