Maxtek Components Corporation. Maxtek
Components Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tektronix, manufactures sophisticated hybrid circuits for internal use and for external sale
primarily to customers in the automated test equipment industry, the medical equipment industry and for military applications.
Manufacturing
The Company’s manufacturing activities
primarily consist of assembling and testing products to customer orders. Many major sub-assemblies and peripheral devices are acquired from numerous
third party suppliers. Most product design, manufacturing and testing is performed in-house. Although supply shortages are experienced from time to
time, the Company currently believes that it will be able to acquire the required materials and components as needed. Because some of these components
are unique, disruptions in supply could have an adverse effect on the Company’s manufacturing operations.
5
Tektronix’ primary manufacturing activities
occur at facilities located in Beaverton, Oregon. Some products, components and accessories are assembled and manufactured in the People’s
Republic of China. Protocol analysis products are manufactured at a plant in Berlin, Germany with additional minor activities in Padova, Italy. Signal
source products and certain spectrum analyzer products are currently manufactured in Gotemba, Japan.
Tektronix’ manufacturing strategy is to
concentrate its efforts in three central locations, Beaverton, China, and Berlin, with each location’s focus on specific capabilities and
expertise. Consistent with this strategy, the Company intends to consolidate manufacturing activities from Japan to the U.S. and China over the next 18
months and has entered into an agreement to sell its facilities in Gotemba, Japan.
Sales and Distribution
Tektronix maintains its own direct sales and field
maintenance organization, staffed with technically trained personnel throughout the world. Sales to end customers are made through the Company’s
direct sales organization and local subsidiaries, or independent distributors and resellers located in principal market areas. Certain of the
Company’s independent distributors also sell products manufactured by the Company’s competitors.
Tektronix’ principal customers are electronic
and computer equipment component manufacturers and service providers, semiconductor manufacturers, communications and networking companies, private
industrial concerns engaged in commercial or governmental projects, military and nonmilitary agencies of the United States and of foreign countries,
public utilities, educational institutions, and radio and television stations and networks. Certain products are sold to both equipment users and
original equipment manufacturers.
Tektronix’ distribution strategy is to align
the sales channel with its customer base, concentrating direct selling efforts in large or strategic geographies and markets, and utilizing
distributors or other third party partners to expand geographic and customer reach.
Most Tektronix products are sold as standard catalog
items.
At May 29, 2004, Tektronix’ unfilled product
orders amounted to approximately $142 million, as compared with approximately $108 million for unfilled product orders at May 31, 2003. Tektronix
expects that substantially all unfilled product orders at May 29, 2004 will be fulfilled during the ensuing fiscal year, except for those cancelled
during the year. Orders received by the Company are subject to cancellation by the customer. Most orders are subject to cancellation or rescheduling by
customers with little or no penalty, and accordingly, backlog on any particular date is not necessarily a reliable indicator of actual sales for any
subsequent period. The Company maintains a general target for product backlog levels of 6 to 8 weeks of product sales.
Geographic Areas of Operations
Tektronix conducts operations worldwide on a
geographic regional basis, with those regions known as the Americas, Europe, the Pacific and Japan. The Company’s headquarters are located at its
Beaverton, Oregon campus. The Americas region is based in Beaverton, and covers the United States and Other Americas, which includes Mexico, Canada and
South America. The European region, which is based in Bracknell, England, covers the European countries, Russia, and also some countries in the Middle
East and Africa. The Pacific region is based in Shanghai, China, and includes China, India, Korea, and Singapore. The Japan operation is based in
Tokyo. International sales include both export sales from United States subsidiaries and sales by non-U.S. subsidiaries. See “Business
Segments” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, containing information on sales based upon the location of the purchaser and
long-lived assets by geographic area.
Fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates and
other factors beyond the control of Tektronix, such as the stability of international monetary conditions, tariff and trade policies and domestic and
foreign tax and economic policies, affect the level and profitability of international sales. The Company does not believe it is materially exposed to
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation, although the Company is unable to predict the effect of these factors on its business. The Company hedges
certain foreign currency exchange rate exposures in order to minimize their impact.

Research and Development
Tektronix operates in an industry characterized by
rapid technological change, and research and development are important elements in its business. The Company devotes a significant portion of its
resources to design and develop new and enhanced products that can be manufactured cost effectively and sold at competitive prices. To focus these
efforts, the Company seeks to maintain close relationships with its customers to develop products that meet their needs. Research and design groups and
specialized product development groups conduct research and development activities. These activities include: (i) research on basic devices and
techniques, (ii) the design and development of products, components and specialized equipment and (iii) the development of processes needed for
production. The vast majority of Tektronix’ research and development is devoted to enhancing and developing its own products.
Research and development activities occur primarily
in Beaverton, Oregon. Additional software and product development occurs in Berlin, Germany, Bangalore, India, Tokyo, Japan, Cambridge, England and
Padova, Italy.
Expenditures for research and development during the
fiscal years ended May 29, 2004, May 31, 2003 and May 25, 2002 amounted to approximately $130.4 million, $101.1 million, and $112.4 million,
respectively. Substantially all of these funds were generated by the Company.
Patents and Intellectual Property
The Company holds approximately 654 patents in the
U.S., which cover a wide range of products and technologies and have various expiration dates. While Tektronix’ intellectual property rights are
important to its success, the Company believes that its business as a whole is not materially dependent on any patent, trademark, license or other
intellectual property right. It is Tektronix’ strategy to seek patents in the United States and appropriate other countries for its significant
patentable developments. However, electronic equipment as complex as most of Tektronix’ products generally are not patentable in their entirety.
The Company also seeks to protect significant trademarks and software through trademark registration and copyright. As with any company whose business
involves intellectual property, Tektronix is subject to claims of infringement and there can be no assurance that any of the Company’s proprietary
rights will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that these rights will provide significant competitive advantage.
Employees
At May 29, 2004, Tektronix had 3,834 employees, of
whom 1,553 were located in countries other than the United States. At May 31, 2003, Tektronix had 4,142 employees, of whom 1,696 were located in
countries other than the United States. Tektronix employees in the United States and most other countries are not covered by collective bargaining
agreements. The Company believes that relations with its employees are good.
Environment
The Company’s facilities and operations are
subject to numerous laws and regulations concerning the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to protection of the
environment. The Company previously operated a licensed hazardous waste management facility at its Beaverton campus. The Company has entered into a
consent order with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality permitting closure of the facility, and requiring the Company to engage in ongoing
monitoring and cleanup activities, primarily in the nature of remediation of subsurface contamination occurring over many years. For additional
information, see “Critical Accounting Estimates—Contingencies” in Item 7 of this Form 10-K. Although the sources of that contamination
have been remedied and agreement has been reached with environmental authorities for its clean-up, no assurances can be given the Company will not, as
a result of changes in the law or the regulatory environment in general, be required to incur significant additional expenditures. The Company believes
that its operations and facilities comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and worker health and safety laws, and although
future regulatory actions cannot be predicted with certainty, compliance with environmental laws has not had and is not expected to have a material
effect upon capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the Company.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
On April 28, 2003, the Company filed an action in
the United States District Court for the District of Oregon against LeCroy Corporation alleging infringement of the Company’s U.S. Patents No.
5,032,801, 4,672,306, 4,766,425, 4,812,996, 4,868,785, 5,124,597, 5,155,836, and 6,232,764, and requesting injunctive relief, money damages, costs and
attorney’s fees. On August 2, 2003, Lecroy filed an answer and counterclaims denying the allegations and seeking declarations from the court that
the asserted patents are not infringed and are invalid. LeCroy also asserts that the Company infringes LeCroy U.S. Patents No. 6,112,160, 6,151,010,
6,195,617, and 6,311,138 and seeks injunctive relief, money damages, costs and attorney’s fees. The Company answered the counterclaim, denying
infringement, and seeking declarations from the court that the asserted patents are not infringed and are invalid. The parties have resolved the
dispute regarding LeCroy’s U.S. Patent No. 6,151,010, but otherwise the dispute continues and is being vigorously contested by both
parties.
Tektronix is involved in various other litigation
matters, claims and investigations that occur in the normal course of business, including but not limited to patent, commercial, personnel and
environmental matters. While the results of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that their final outcome will not have
a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

*Financial data
in this year includes the results of operations and the financial position of the Video
and Networking Division, which was sold in September 1999.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Introduction and Overview
This management’s discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations is intended to provide investors with an understanding of the Company’s operating performance and
its financial condition. A discussion of the Company’s business, including its strategy, products and competition is included in Part I of this
Form 10-K.
The Company’s results of operations and
financial condition may be affected by a variety of factors. In management’s opinion, the most significant of these factors include the economic
strength of the technology markets into which the Company sells its products, the ability of the Company to develop compelling technology solutions and
deliver these to the marketplace in a timely manner, and the actions of competitors. These significant factors are discussed further
below.
The markets that the Company serves are very diverse
and include a cross-section of the technology industries. Accordingly, the Company’s business is cyclical and tends to correlate to the overall
performance of the technology sector. During fiscal years 2000 and 2001, the Company experienced considerable growth and profitability resulting from
the overall growth in the technology markets and successful new product introductions. However, the Company began to experience weakening demand in the
latter part of fiscal year 2001 and subsequently experienced a dramatic decline in demand during fiscal year 2002. During fiscal year 2002, the
Company’s product orders declined 38% from fiscal year 2001. The technology markets continued to be depressed into fiscal year 2003. During the
latter part of fiscal year 2003, the Company began to experience the stabilization of certain markets. Fiscal year 2004 saw a broader-based recovery in
the technology sector from the downturn of preceding years.
During fiscal years 2002 and 2003, the Company
engaged in a variety of efforts to reduce the cost structure to better align to the lower sales levels. These costs continued to be incurred into
fiscal year 2004 as many of the actions identified took considerable time to execute. In addition to incurring costs to realign the Company’s cost
structure during fiscal year 2003 and 2004, the Company also incurred costs to restructure the operations
12
of the Japan subsidiary acquired through acquisition of Sony/Tektronix Corporation
and also recognized certain costs and credits directly associated with the integration of this subsidiary.
The Company faces significant competition in many of
the markets in which it sells its products. The Company competes on many factors including product performance, technology, product availability and
price. To compete effectively, the Company must deliver compelling products to the market in a timely manner. Accordingly, the Company makes
significant investments into the research and development of new products and the selling channels necessary to deliver products to the market. Even
during periods where economic conditions have reduced the Company’s revenues, such as those experienced in fiscal years 2002 and 2003, the Company
continued to invest significantly in the development of new products and selling channels. A discussion of the Company’s competitors and products
is included in Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
A component of the Company’s strategy includes
focusing investments in certain product categories to expand its existing market positions. Expansion in these certain product categories may come
through internal growth or from acquisitions. On June 29, 2004, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement to purchase Inet. This
acquisition is anticipated to close during in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. Subsequent to the close of this transaction, the Company must
integrate the operation of Inet into the operations of the Company. Management believes that the success of this integration will have a significant
impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. A broader discussion of the Company’s strategy is included in Item 1
of this Form 10-K. The agreement to acquire Inet is described below in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
For a discussion of risk factors affecting the
Company, see the Risks and Uncertainties section below.
Acquisitions
Inet Technologies, Inc.
Subsequent to fiscal year 2004, the Company and Inet
announced on June 29, 2004 that they have signed a definitive agreement for Tektronix to acquire Inet, a leading global provider of communications
software solutions that enable network operators to more strategically and profitably operate their businesses. Inet’s products address
next-generation networks, including 2.5G and 3G mobile data and voice-over-packet (also referred to as voice over Internet protocol or VoIP)
technologies, and traditional networks.
Inet has approximately 500 employees worldwide and
had 2003 sales of $104 million. When combined with Tektronix’ mobile protocol test business, Tektronix will be one of the largest global providers
of these solutions.
Tektronix anticipates that the acquisition will
accelerate the delivery of products and solutions for network operators and equipment manufacturers seeking to implement next-generation technologies
such as General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS) and VoIP.
Tektronix will acquire all of Inet’s
outstanding stock for approximately $12.50 per share consisting of $6.25 per share in cash and approximately $6.25 per share in Tektronix’ common
stock. The stock portion of the consideration is subject to a 10 percent collar. The midpoint of the 10 percent collar is $31.66 per share, which
represents the average closing price of Tektronix’ common stock during the 10 trading days prior to the announcement of the transaction on June
29, 2004. Since the number of shares of Tektronix’ common stock to be issued will not be known until shortly before the completion of the
transaction, the measurement date for the valuation of the shares of Tektronix’ common stock, for accounting purposes, has not yet been
determined. As of March 31, 2004, Inet had approximately 39.2 million shares of common stock outstanding. The transaction, which has been approved by
both companies’ Boards of Directors, is subject to customary closing conditions, including Inet stockholder approval and certain regulatory
approvals. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. On July 16, 2004, Tektronix filed a Form S-4 with the
SEC which provides additional information on this proposed transaction. The Form S-4 has not yet been declared effective by the SEC and is subject to
completion based on the SEC’s review.

Sony/Tektronix Redemption
Prior to September 30, 2002, Tektronix and Sony
Corporation (“Sony”) were equal owners of Sony/Tektronix Corporation (“Sony/Tektronix”), a joint venture originally established to
distribute Tektronix products in Japan. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Company acquired from Sony its 50% interest in
Sony/Tektronix through redemption of Sony’s shares by Sony/Tektronix for 8 billion Yen (“Sony/Tektronix Acquisition”), or approximately
$65.7 million at September 30, 2002. This transaction closed on September 30, 2002, at which time the Company obtained 100% ownership of
Sony/Tektronix. Subsequent to the close of this transaction, this subsidiary is referred to as “Tektronix Japan” within this management
discussion and analysis. This transaction is a long-term strategic investment that will provide the Company stronger access to the Japanese market and
the ability to leverage the engineering resources in Japan. Prior to the redemption, the Company accounted for its investment in Sony/Tektronix under
the equity method. Prior to the close of this transaction, the Sony/Tektronix entity entered into an agreement to borrow up to 9 billion Yen, or
approximately $73.9 million at an interest rate of 1.75% above the Tokyo Inter Bank Offering Rate (“TIBOR”). Sony/Tektronix used $53.1
million of this credit facility to fund a portion of the redemption of shares from Sony and the remainder was available for operating capital for this
Japan subsidiary. The transaction was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, beginning on the date of acquisition the
results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Sony/Tektronix were consolidated in the Company’s financial
statements.
During fiscal year 2004, the Company incurred $5.0
million in costs specifically associated with integrating the operations of this subsidiary. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company
offered voluntary retention bonuses to certain employees in Gotemba, Japan as an incentive to remain with the Company through August 2005 while the
Company completes its plan to transition manufacturing operations to other locations. Accordingly, the Company will recognize a liability for retention
bonuses for 48 employees of approximately $3.7 million ratably through August 2005. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company
recognized an expense of $0.6 million for the retention bonuses which are included in Acquisition related (credits) costs, net on the Consolidated
Statements of Operations. During fiscal year 2003, subsequent to the close of the acquisition, the Company incurred $3.5 million in transition costs
associated with integrating the operations of this subsidiary. These costs are included in Acquisition related (credits) costs, net on the Consolidated
Statements of Operations. The Company also incurred severance costs of $11.2 million during fiscal year 2003 in Japan which are discussed further in
the Business Realignment Costs section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
During fiscal year 2004, the Company restructured
the Japan pension plans (see Note 27) and recorded a net gain from the restructuring of $36.7 million. Also during fiscal year 2004, the Company sold
property located in Shinagawa, Japan, which resulted in a net gain of $22.5 million, and the Company recognized an impairment loss of $3.1 million on
assets held for sale located in Gotemba, Japan. The sale and impairment are discussed in more detail in Note 11. These net gains and losses are
included in Acquisition related (credits) costs, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. After the sale of the property in Shinagawa, Japan
described above, the Company repaid 6.5 billion Yen or approximately $60.9 million of the outstanding principal on the TIBOR+1.75% debt facility during
fiscal year 2004. This facility was terminated on May 28, 2004.
Discontinued Operations
Sale of Color Printing and
Imaging
On January 1, 2000, the Company sold substantially
all of the assets of the Color Printing and Imaging Division (“CPID”). The Company accounted for CPID as a discontinued operation in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.” The sales price was $925.0
million in cash, with certain liabilities of the division assumed by the buyer. During fiscal year 2000, Tektronix recorded a net gain of $340.3
million on this sale. The net gain was calculated as the excess of the proceeds received over the net book value of the assets transferred, $198.5
million in income tax expense, $60.0 million of contingencies related to the sale and $14.4 million in
14
transaction and related costs. For additional discussion of the CPID sale
transaction and subsequent resolution of the related contingencies see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form
10-K.
Sale of VideoTele.com
On November 7, 2002, the Company completed the sale
of the VideoTele.com (“VT.c”) subsidiary. VT.c was sold to Tut Systems, Inc (“Tut”), a publicly traded company, for 3,283,597
shares of Tut common stock valued on the sale date at $4.2 million and a note receivable for $3.1 million due in November 2007. The common stock is
classified as an available-for-sale security and both the common stock and the note receivable are included in Other long-term assets in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the terms of the sale agreement, the Company was restricted from selling the common stock for a period of 1 year.
The Company holds less than 20% of the outstanding common stock of Tut and does not have the ability to significantly influence the operations of Tut.
The note receivable accrues interest at an annual rate of 8%. As a result of this transaction, employees of VT.c on the transaction date became
employees of the post-merger entity at the time of the closing. The Company’s reason for divesting the VT.c business was that the VT.c product
offering was not consistent with Company’s strategy of focusing on the test, measurement and monitoring markets, which ultimately resulted in the
sale of this business to Tut. The sale of VT.c has been accounted for as a discontinued operation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets.” Accordingly, the results of VT.c operations prior to the transaction date, and the loss on this sale, have been excluded from
continuing operations and recorded as discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Sale of Optical Parametric Test
Business
The optical parametric test business was acquired in
April 2002 for $23.2 million. The purchase included $2.0 million of intangible assets, $4.3 million of other net assets and $16.9 million of goodwill.
The optical parametric test business was a technology innovator in optical test and measurement components. During the third quarter of fiscal year
2003, management approved and initiated an active plan for the sale of its optical parametric test business. This business was accounted for as a
discontinued operation in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Accordingly, the
results of operations of the optical parametric test business have been excluded from continuing operations and recorded as discontinued operations.
The net carrying value of assets, primarily goodwill and other intangible assets, was adjusted to estimated selling price less costs to sell which
resulted in a $15.3 million write-down, net of income tax benefit of $8.4 million, included in loss on sale of the optical parametric test business in
the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. The market for optical parametric test equipment was dramatically affected by the economic conditions that
negatively impacted many technology sectors, which began in the second half of fiscal year 2001 and continued into fiscal year 2003 (see additional
discussion under the Economic Conditions section in Results of Operations in Management’s Discussion and Analysis below). The reduction in the
value of the optical parametric test business during the period it was owned by the Company was a direct result of the impact of these economic
conditions. On May 27, 2003, the Company sold its optical parametric test business for $1.0 million. The Company recognized an additional loss on the
sale of $1.7 million, net of income tax benefit of $0.9 million, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003. Loss from discontinued operations during
the current fiscal year includes an additional net loss from the sale of the optical parametric test business due to settlement of additional costs
arising after the sale.
Sale of Gage Applied
Sciences
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003,
management of the Company approved and initiated an active plan for the sale of Gage Applied Sciences (“Gage”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company. Gage, located in Montreal, Canada, produced PC-based instruments products. The divestiture of this entity was consistent with the
Company’s strategy of concentrating its resources in core product areas and de-emphasizing products which are determined to be less strategic.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company sold the operations of Gage to a third party. This business has been accounted for as a
discontinued operation in accordance with SFAS No. 144. The Company recorded an after-tax loss of $0.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal year
2004 to reflect adjustments to the previously estimated after-tax loss of $2.2 million on the
15
disposition of this discontinued operation which was recorded during the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2003 to write-down the net assets, primarily goodwill, of Gage to net realizable value less estimated selling costs.
Business Realignment Costs
Business realignment costs represent actions to
realign the Company’s cost structure in response to significant events and primarily include restructuring actions and impairment of assets
resulting from reduced business levels. Business realignment actions taken during fiscal year 2004 and in fiscal years 2002 and 2003 were intended to
reduce the Company’s worldwide cost structure across all major functions in response to the dramatic economic decline, which severely impacted
markets into which the Company sells its products. Major operations impacted include manufacturing, engineering, sales, marketing and administrative
functions. In addition to severance, the Company incurred other costs associated with restructuring its organization, which primarily represent
facilities contracts and other exit costs associated with aligning the cost structure to appropriate levels. The Company anticipates that the actions
taken have or will result in reduced operating costs in periods following the period in which the costs were incurred, primarily through reductions in
labor costs. Management believes that the restructuring actions implemented in fiscal years 2002, 2003 and 2004 have resulted in the costs savings
anticipated for those actions.
Costs incurred during fiscal year 2004 primarily
related to restructuring actions planned by the Company during fiscal year 2003, which were executed in fiscal year 2004. Many of the restructuring
actions planned by the Company take significant time to execute, particularly if they are being conducted in countries outside the United States. The
Company anticipates incurring significantly lower levels of business realignment costs in fiscal year 2005, as most of the previously planned actions
have been executed.
Business realignment costs of $22.8 million during
fiscal year 2004 included $16.7 million of severance related costs for 274 employees mostly located in Europe and adjustments to estimates in prior
years, $2.6 million for accumulated currency translation losses, net, related to the substantial closure of subsidiaries in Brazil, Australia and
Denmark and a surplus facility in China, $1.9 million for contractual obligations for leased facilities in Europe and the United States, and $1.6
million for accelerated depreciation and write-down of assets in Europe and the United States. Expected future annual salary cost savings from actions
taken during fiscal year 2004 to reduce employee headcount are estimated to be $14.7 million. At May 29, 2004, remaining liabilities of $5.3 million,
$0.3 million and $0.2 million for employee severance and related benefits for actions taken in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were
maintained for 117, 3 and 2 employees, respectively.
The Company incurred $34.6 million of business
realignment costs in fiscal year 2003 for employee severance, impairment of an intangible asset, a facility lease obligation and closure of other
facilities. The Company incurred $26.5 million of severance and related costs for the termination of 524 employees resulting from actions to align the
Company’s cost structure with the reduced sales levels resulting from the recent economic conditions discussed above, actions taken to align the
cost structure of Tektronix Japan and adjustments to estimates in prior years. These severance costs included $11.2 million for 155 former employees of
Tektronix Japan and $3.3 million for pension curtailment and settlement losses for the employees terminated in Japan. An impairment charge of $9.1
million was recognized to write-down an intangible asset for acquired Bluetooth technology. The closure of certain foreign and domestic operations
resulted in credits totaling $1.3 million for accumulated translation gains and $0.3 million primarily for other asset write-downs and contractual
obligations. The Company reversed $2.0 million for a facility lease obligation due to the sale of the Company’s optical transmission test product
line in the second quarter of fiscal year 2003. The Company accrued $2.0 million during fiscal year 2003 associated with the exiting of facilities
previously utilized for optical transmission test. See Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on business
realignment costs.
During fiscal year 2002, business realignment costs
of $27.0 million included $20.9 million of severance related costs for 592 employees worldwide across all major functions, $3.9 million for contractual
obligations, including $3.1 million for lease cancellations and $0.8 million for termination of a service contract in India, $0.9 million for write-off
of leasehold improvements and other assets and $2.7 million of accumulated currency translation losses related to substantial closure of subsidiaries

Critical Accounting Estimates
Management has identified the Company’s
“critical accounting estimates,” which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the financial condition and operating results of
the Company and require difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of net sales and expenses include
contingencies, intangible asset valuation, inventory valuation, pension plan assumptions and the assessment of the valuation of deferred income taxes
and income tax contingencies.
Contingencies
The Company is subject to claims and litigation
concerning intellectual property, environmental and employment issues, and settlement of contingencies related to prior dispositions of assets.
Accruals have been established based upon management’s best estimate of the ultimate outcome of these matters. The Company reviews the status of
its claims, litigation and other contingencies on a regular basis and adjustments are made as information becomes available. As of May 29, 2004, the
Company had $19.8 million of contingencies recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, which included $10.4
million of contingencies relating to the sale of CPID, $3.5 million for environmental exposures and $5.9 million for other contingent liabilities. It
is reasonably possible that management’s estimates of contingencies could change in the near term and that such changes could be material to the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
At the time of the sale of CPID on January 1, 2000,
the Company deferred the recognition of $60.0 million of gain on sale and recorded contingencies of $60.0 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 5,
“Accounting for Contingencies”, it is the Company’s policy to defer recognition of a gain where it is believed that contingencies exist
that may result in that gain being recognized prior to realization. The Company analyzes the amount of deferred gain in relation to outstanding
contingencies, and recognizes additional gain when objective evidence indicates that such contingencies are believed to be resolved. The $60.0 million
of contingencies represents the deferral of a portion of the gain on sale that management of the Company believed was not realizable due to certain
contingencies contained in the final sale agreement. Of the original $60.0 million of contingencies, $22.6 million has been utilized to settle claims
and $27.0 million was recognized in subsequent periods. As of May 29, 2004 and May 31, 2003, the balance of the contingencies related to the CPID
disposition was
17
$10.4 million, a significant portion of which may take several years to resolve.
The Company continues to monitor the status of the CPID related contingencies based on information received. If unforeseen events or circumstances
arise subsequent to the balance sheet date, changes in the estimate of these contingencies could be material to the financial statements. For
additional discussion of the CPID related contingencies, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Included in contingent liabilities is $3.5 million
specifically associated with the closure and cleanup of a licensed hazardous waste management facility at the Company’s Beaverton, Oregon campus.
The Company established the initial liability in 1998 and bases ongoing estimates on currently available facts and presently enacted laws and
regulations. Costs for tank removal and cleanup were incurred in fiscal year 2001. Costs currently being incurred primarily relate to ongoing
monitoring and testing of the site. Management’s best estimate of the range of remaining reasonably possible cost associated with this
environmental cleanup, testing and monitoring could be as high as $10.0 million. Management believes that the recorded liability represents the low end
of the range. These costs are estimated to be incurred over the next several years. If events or circumstances arise that are unforeseen to the Company
as of the balance sheet date, actual costs could differ materially from this estimate.
The remaining $5.9 million of contingency accruals
include amounts related to intellectual property and employment issues, as well as contingencies related to dispositions of assets other than CPID. If
events or circumstances arise that are unforeseen to the Company as of the balance sheet date, actual costs could differ materially from this
estimate.
Intangible assets
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible
assets in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”
Accordingly, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill from acquisitions, but continues to amortize other acquisition-related intangibles and costs. As
of May 29, 2004, the Company had $79.8 million of goodwill, net recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment
analysis during the second quarter of fiscal year 2004 and identified no impairment. The impairment review is based on a discounted cash flow approach
that uses estimates of future market share and revenues and costs for the reporting units as well as appropriate discount rates. The estimates used are
consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company uses to manage the underlying businesses. However, if the Company fails to deliver new
products for these reporting units, if the products fail to gain expected market acceptance, or if market conditions in the related businesses are
unfavorable, revenue and cost forecasts may not be achieved, and the Company may incur charges for impairment of goodwill.
During fiscal year 2003, management approved and
initiated an active plan for the sale of its optical parametric test business. This business was accounted for as a discontinued operation in
accordance with SFAS No. 144. Accordingly, the results of operations of the optical parametric test business have been excluded from continuing
operations and recorded as discontinued operations. The net carrying value of assets, primarily goodwill and other intangible assets, was adjusted to
estimated selling price less costs to sell which resulted in a $15.3 million write-down, net of income tax benefit of $8.4 million, included in loss on
sale of the optical parametric test business in fiscal year 2003. The optical parametric test business was sold in the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2003.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003,
management approved and initiated an active plan for the sale of Gage. This business was accounted for as a discontinued operation in accordance with
SFAS No. 144. Accordingly, the results of operations of Gage have been excluded from continuing operations and recorded as discontinued operations. The
Company recognized an impairment charge in discontinued operations of $2.2 million, net of income tax benefit of $1.2 million, in fiscal year 2003 to
write-down the net assets, primarily for goodwill, of Gage to net realizable value less estimated selling costs. The operations of Gage were sold in
the first quarter of fiscal year 2004.
For intangible assets with definite useful lives,
the Company amortizes the cost over the estimated useful lives and assesses any impairment by estimating the future cash flow from the associated asset
in accordance
18
with SFAS No. 144. As of May 29, 2004, the Company had $2.7 million of non-goodwill
intangible assets recorded in Other long-term assets, which includes patents and licenses for certain technology. If the estimated undiscounted cash
flow related to these assets decreases in the future or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company may incur charges to impair
these assets. The impairment would be based on the estimated discounted cash flow associated with each asset. Impairment could result if the underlying
technology fails to gain market acceptance, the Company fails to deliver new products related to these technology assets, the products fail to gain
expected market acceptance or if market conditions in the related businesses are unfavorable.
During fiscal year 2003, the Company impaired an
intangible asset related to acquired Bluetooth technology resulting in an expense of $9.1 million, which is included in Business realignment costs in
the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
market. Cost is determined based on currently-adjusted standard costs, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. The
Company’s inventory includes raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods and demonstration equipment totaling $102.1 million as of May 29,
2004. The Company reviews its recorded inventory and estimates a write-down for obsolete or slow-moving items. These write-downs reduce the inventory
value of these obsolete or slow-moving items to their net realizable value. Such estimates may become difficult to make under volatile economic and
market conditions as the write-down is based on current and forecasted demand. Therefore, if actual demand and market conditions are less favorable
than those projected by management, additional write-downs may be required. In addition, excessive amounts of used equipment in the marketplace can
negatively impact the net realizable value of the Company’s demonstration equipment. If actual market conditions are different than anticipated,
the Company may incur additional charges for impairment of inventory in the period in which more information becomes available. The Company recorded
charges for inventory obsolescence of approximately $3.3 million, $11.7 million and $20.5 million during fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The considerably larger write-down in fiscal year 2002 was due to the large and unanticipated decrease in fiscal year 2002 sales volumes
when compared with prior year sales volumes.
Pension plans
The Company maintains certain defined benefit
pension plans to provide pension benefits to employees in certain countries. The largest of the Company’s pension plans is the Cash Balance plan
in the United States. Effective August 1, 2004, the U.S. Cash Balance Plan will not be offered to new employees hired after July 31, 2004. As a result
of the acquisition of the Sony/Tektronix joint venture, the Company had a significant defined benefit pension plan in Japan which was substantially
settled in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. The Company maintains less significant defined benefit plans in other countries including the United
Kingdom, Germany, Holland and Taiwan.
Effective September 30, 2003, the Company
substantially settled its liability for the existing defined benefit pension plans in Japan and established new plans to provide retirement benefits to
Japan employees. The settlement and curtailment of the existing defined benefit plans were made in accordance with the applicable plan provisions and
local statutory requirements. The Company has established a defined contribution plan as the principal plan to provide retirement benefits to employees
in Japan. Local regulations limit the benefit that the Company can provide to an individual employee through use of a defined contribution plan. To the
extent the Company provides retirement benefits to an individual in an amount greater than that allowed, the excess will be reflected as a benefit in a
newly created defined benefit pension plan. As the amount of statutory limit for benefits under the defined contribution plan increases, benefits
provided through the defined benefit component will decrease. The impact of the settlement and curtailment of the existing defined benefit pension
plans and initial funding of the new defined contribution plan was as follows:

The increase of $3.9 million for the new defined
contribution plan, was necessary to adjust the initial liability for future funding of the new defined contribution plan to $21.0 million effective
September 30, 2003. As of May 29, 2004, the balance of this funding commitment was $14.6 million, which will be paid in annual installments through
February 2011.
Benefit plans are a significant cost of doing
business and yet represent obligations that will be settled far in the future and therefore are subject to certain estimates. Pension accounting is
intended to reflect the recognition of future benefit costs over the employee’s approximate service period based on the terms of the plans and the
investment and funding decisions made by the Company. The accounting standards require that management make assumptions regarding such variables as the
expected long-term rate of return on the assets of the plan and the discount rate used to determine pension obligations.
The Company applies the long-term rate of return on
plan assets assumption to a market related value of plan assets to estimate income recognized by the pension plan assets. This income from return on
pension assets is a component of net periodic pension cost. The cost components of net periodic pension costs primarily include the interest cost on
participants’ accumulated benefits, service cost for benefits earned during the period and the amortization of unrecognized gains and losses. The
income component of net periodic pension cost is primarily driven by the amount of return on plan assets recorded by the Company. In prior periods, the
income recognized on plan assets has exceeded the periodic pension costs, thereby resulting in net pension income being recognized by the Company. The
amount of income recognized is affected by the rate of return assumption employed and the amount of plan assets that the return assumption is applied
to. The amount of net pension income recognized by the Company has declined from prior periods due primarily to the Company beginning to amortize
previously unrecognized losses on the decline in value of plan assets, decline in the return on plan assets assumption employed by the Company,
reduction in the market related value of the plan assets, and increased pension costs due to a decrease in the discount rate used to calculate pension
benefits (see discount rate discussion below). In prior periods, net periodic pension income recognized by the Company has differed materially from the
actual experience of the plan assets and liabilities. As of May 29, 2004, the Company had recorded an unrecognized loss of $173.7 million, net of
income tax benefit of $107.9 million, as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a result of the
additional minimum pension liability discussed below. To the extent this unrecognized loss is not offset by future unrecognized gains, there will
continue to be a negative impact to net earnings as this amount is amortized to net periodic pension cost.
The Company’s estimated weighted average
long-term rate of return on plan assets for fiscal year 2004 was approximately 8.1%. A one percent change in the estimated long-term rate of return on
plan assets would have resulted in a change in operating income of $5.8 million for fiscal year 2004, which excludes the impact of assets in the
benefit plans in Japan that were settled during the year.
Assumed discount rates are used in measurements of
the projected, accumulated, and vested benefit obligations and the service and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost. Management makes
estimates of discount rates to reflect the rates at which the pension benefits could be effectively settled. In making those estimates, management
evaluates rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of
the pension benefits. The weighted average of discount rates used in determining the Company’s pension obligation as of May 29, 2004 was
6.1%.
At May 29, 2004, the accumulated benefit obligation
exceeded the fair value of plan assets for certain pension plans. In accordance with SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions,”
a minimum pension
20
liability was recognized for the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation.
Recognition of an additional minimum liability is required if an unfunded accumulated benefit obligation exists and (a) an asset has been recognized as
prepaid pension cost, (b) the liability already recognized as unfunded accrued pension cost is less than the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation,
or (c) no accrued or prepaid pension cost has been recognized. The Company has recognized an additional minimum liability in accordance with SFAS No.
87. Since the additional minimum liability exceeded unrecognized prior service cost, the excess (which would represent a net loss not yet recognized as
net periodic pension cost) is reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of applicable income tax benefit. The Company
initially recorded an additional pension liability at the end of fiscal year 2002, the first measurement date where the accumulated benefit obligation
exceeded the fair value of plan assets. As of May 29, 2004, the cumulative additional minimum pension charge included in Accumulated other
comprehensive loss was $173.7 million, net of income tax benefit of $107.9 million. The implication of the additional minimum pension liability is that
it may reduce net income in future years by reducing the market related value of plan assets, thereby reducing the asset base upon which the Company
recognizes a return. The Company may find it necessary to fund additional pension assets, which would increase the market related value of plan assets
upon which the Company recognizes a return but would reduce operating cash and future interest earnings on that cash. Subsequent to the current fiscal
year, the Company made a voluntary contribution of $46.5 million to the U.S. Cash Balance Plan in June 2004.
Management will continue to assess the expected
long-term rate of return on plan assets and discount rate assumptions based on relevant market conditions as prescribed by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, and will make adjustments to the assumptions as appropriate. Net pension expense was $6.0 million
in fiscal year 2004, which included the effect of the recognition of service cost, interest cost, the assumed return on plan assets and amortization of
a portion of the unrecognized loss noted above. Net pension income or expense is allocated to Cost of sales, Research and development and Selling,
general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income Taxes
The Company is subject to taxation from federal,
state and international jurisdictions. The Company’s annual provision for income taxes and the determination of the resulting deferred tax assets
and liabilities involve a significant amount of management judgment and is based on the best information available at the time. The actual income tax
liabilities to the jurisdictions with respect to any fiscal year are ultimately determined long after the financial statements have been published. The
Company maintains reserves for estimated tax exposures in jurisdictions of operation. These tax jurisdictions include federal, state and various
international tax jurisdictions. Significant income tax exposures include potential challenges of research and experimentation credits, export-related
tax benefits, disposition transactions and intercompany pricing. Exposures are settled primarily through the settlement of audits within these tax
jurisdictions, but can also be affected by changes in applicable tax law or other factors, which could cause management of the Company to believe a
revision of past estimates is appropriate. Management believes that an appropriate liability has been established for estimated exposures; however,
actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The liabilities are frequently reviewed for their adequacy and appropriateness. As of May
29, 2004, the Company was subject to income tax audits for fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003. The liabilities associated with these years will
ultimately be resolved when events such as the completion of audits by the taxing jurisdictions occur. To the extent the audits or other events result
in a material adjustment to the accrued estimates, the effect would be recognized in Income tax expense (benefit) in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations in the period of the event.
Judgment is also applied in determining whether
deferred tax assets will be realized in full or in part. When it is more likely than not that all or some portion of specific deferred tax assets such
as foreign tax credit carryovers or net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized, a valuation allowance must be established for the amount of
the deferred tax assets that are determined not to be realizable. As of May 29, 2004, the Company had established a valuation allowance against
deferred tax assets, primarily foreign tax credit carryforwards. During fiscal year 2004, the valuation allowance decreased by $1.8 million due to
expected utilization of foreign tax credit carryforwards. The Company has not established valuation allowances against other deferred tax assets based
on tax strategies planned to mitigate the risk of impairment to these assets. Accordingly, if the Company’s facts or financial results were to
change thereby impacting the likelihood of
21
realizing the deferred tax assets, judgment would have to be applied to determine
changes to the amount of the valuation allowance required to be in place on the financial statements in any given period. The Company continually
evaluates strategies that could allow the future utilization of its deferred tax assets.

Fiscal Year 2004 Compared to Fiscal Year 2003
Fiscal year 2004 included 52 weeks, while fiscal
year 2003 included 53 weeks. In addition, the Sony/Tektronix redemption was effective on September 30, 2002. Accordingly, the Company did not
consolidate the results of the Japan subsidiary during the first quarter of the prior fiscal year, and consolidated only two months of the second
quarter of the prior fiscal year. For the remainder of fiscal year 2003 and during the current fiscal year, the results of the Japan subsidiary were
consolidated in all months. As a result, balances for fiscal year 2004 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations are higher due in part to the
consolidation of more operating periods.
22
Economic Conditions
Beginning in the second half of fiscal year 2001,
and continuing through fiscal year 2002, economic conditions had a significant negative impact on many markets into which the Company sold products
including, but not limited to, optical design and manufacturing, mobile handset manufacturing, automated test equipment, telecommunications and
semiconductor design and manufacturing. During fiscal year 2003, these economic conditions continued to affect many of the markets into which the
Company sold products, although the impact was less severe than in prior years and certain markets appeared to begin to stabilize towards the end of
that fiscal year. From a geographical perspective, the Company began to see the economic environment stabilize in the United States and Japan. The
stabilization of certain markets that began at the end of fiscal year 2003 continued into fiscal year 2004. During fiscal year 2004, the Company
continued to experience a phased recovery of its end markets, with growth across all regions and most product lines throughout the current fiscal year.
There can be no assurance that the Company’s underlying end markets will continue to improve or that the recent increased levels of business
activity will continue as a trend into the future.
In response to the reduced level of orders and
associated sales in fiscal year 2002 and 2003, the Company incurred significant business realignment costs. The Company continued to incur business
realignment costs during fiscal year 2004 to further reduce the Company’s cost structure in order to provide an amount of operating income that
management believed was appropriate at the current sales levels. Many of the costs incurred during fiscal year 2004 were associated with actions that
were identified during prior fiscal years, but for which sufficient action had not yet been taken to support the recognition of the associated expense.
Many of the business realignment actions planned by the Company take significant time to execute, particularly if they are being conducted in countries
outside the United States.
Discontinuation of Rohde and Schwarz Distribution
Agreement
On March 18, 2004, the Company announced the
discontinuation of an existing distribution agreement with Rohde and Schwarz, under which the Company served as the exclusive distributor for Rohde and
Schwarz’ communication test products in the United States and Canada. The discontinuation of this distribution agreement was effective June 1,
2004. The Company had served in this distribution role for Rohde and Schwarz since October 1993. During fiscal year 2004 and 2003, the Company
generated revenue of $87.3 million and $58.2 million, respectively, from Rohde and Schwarz distributed products. As of May 29, 2004, the Company had
product backlog of approximately $23.0 million related to Rohde and Schwarz distributed product. The Company anticipates that substantially all of this
backlog will be shipped and subsequently recognized as revenue during the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. As the Company was merely a distributor of
these products, the corresponding sales generated lower gross margins compared to sales of products manufactured by the Company. During fiscal year
2004 and 2003, gross margins on these distribution sales were 22.3% and 26.0%, respectively. The Company incurred selling, general and administrative
expenses in connection with its efforts to distribute these products. For fiscal years 2004 and 2003, distribution of these products resulted in a
nominal loss on a fully allocated basis. As a result of the discontinuation of this distribution agreement, the Company has reduced and redirected
selling, general and administrative resources in response to the related reduction in gross profit.
Product Orders
Product orders consist of cancelable commitments to
purchase currently produced products by customers with delivery scheduled generally within six months of being recorded. During fiscal year 2004,
product orders increased $157.5 million or 21.0% from the prior year. The growth in product orders was primarily driven by strength in the overall
markets, demonstrated by year over year growth in all of the Company’s product categories and geographical regions. Additional factors
contributing to the growth included good response to new products, the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, and the
consolidation of four more months of results from the Company’s Japan subsidiary during fiscal year 2004 as compared with the prior fiscal
year.
Geographically, product orders increased 24% in the
United States and 19% internationally. From a regional perspective, growth in international regions was primarily driven by Japan, which grew
approximately 50% and Europe, which grew approximately 14%. The growth in the Japan region was driven by growth in
23
the local economy, the consolidation of the Japan subsidiary for more periods
during the current fiscal year, as discussed above, good response to new products and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations. The growth in the Europe region was driven partially by the stabilization of certain economies and markets within that region as well as
good response to new products, but also from the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The favorable impact of foreign
currency exchange rates was attributable for total year over year growth of approximately $16.5 million, or 2%, mostly attributable to currency
fluctuation in European and Japan. Growth in the United States was driven by the continued economic recovery of the markets into which the Company
sells its products.
During fiscal years 2004 and 2003, the Company
generated product orders of $96.2 million and $62.6 million, respectively, from distribution of Rohde and Schwarz products. As noted above, the Company
discontinued acting as the distributor of these products in the United States and Canada effective June 1, 2004. The year over year growth from the
distribution of these products was primarily in the United States.
Net Sales
Consolidated net sales during fiscal year 2004
increased $129.6 million, or 16%, over the previous year. International net sales increased 17% compared to the prior fiscal year, while net sales in
the United States increased 16%. The increase in net sales in both the United States and internationally was primarily due to increased product orders
in these geographies during fiscal year 2004, as discussed above. The increase in net sales attributable to higher product orders was partially offset
by the increase in product backlog in the current fiscal year as compared to the prior year. In the current fiscal year, the Company increased product
backlog by $34.3 million as compared with a $27.0 million increase in product backlog in the prior fiscal year. In addition to product sales, net sales
also include revenues from service and component sales. As noted above, during the current fiscal year the Company increased product backlog, and
therefore the increase in product orders was greater than the increase in product sales. The geographical distribution of sales is directly correlated
to the geographical distribution of orders. However, as the Company increases or decreases the level of product backlog within any given fiscal year,
this direct correlation may vary.
Product backlog at May 29, 2004 was $142.2 million,
an increase of $34.3 million from product backlog of $107.9 million at May 31, 2003. Ending product backlog as of May 29, 2004 was approximately 8
weeks of product sales. Product backlog levels are affected by the timing of product orders received within the quarter. The Company maintains a
general target for product backlog levels of 6 to 8 weeks of product sales.
During fiscal years 2004 and 2003, the Company
generated revenue of $87.3 million and $58.2 million respectively, from Rohde and Schwarz distributed products and had related product backlog of
approximately $23.0 million as of May 29, 2004. As noted above, the Company discontinued acting as the distributor of these products in the United
States and Canada effective June 1, 2004.
Gross Profit and Gross
Margin
Gross profit for fiscal year 2004 was $523.0
million, an increase of $117.3 million from gross profit of $405.7 million for the prior year. The increase in gross profit was attributable to the
increase in sales volume during the current fiscal year as well as the increase in gross margin on those sales.
Gross margin is the measure of gross profit as a
percentage of net sales. Gross margin for fiscal year 2004 was 56.8%, an increase of 5.5 points over the prior year gross margin of 51.3%. Gross margin
is affected by a variety of factors including, among other items, sales volumes, mix of product shipments, product pricing, inventory impairments and
other costs such as warranty repair and sustaining engineering. The improvement in gross margin during the current fiscal year was primarily
attributable to higher sales volumes, which spread additional revenue over a partially fixed manufacturing cost structure, and favorable mix resulting
from the shipment of higher margin products. Also contributing to the year over year increase was the positive impact of the Company’s explicit
program to increase gross margin, whereby the Company reviewed all cost drivers within gross margin and created a focused effort on reducing these
costs where appropriate. Additionally, gross margin was also impacted by consolidation of four more months of the Japan operations in the current
fiscal year as compared with the prior year.
24
During fiscal year 2004 and 2003, gross margins on
Rohde and Schwarz distribution sales were 22.3% and 26.0%, respectively. As noted above, the Company discontinued acting as the distributor of these
products in the United States and Canada effective June 1, 2004.
Operating Expenses
In the current fiscal year, operating expenses
included research and development expenses, selling general and administrative expenses, business realignment costs, net acquisition related credits
and costs and net gains and losses from the sale of fixed assets. In prior years, operating expenses included the Company’s portion of the income
or loss of Sony/Tektronix classified as Equity in business ventures’ loss in the Consolidated statement of operations. As noted above, this former
joint venture is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and therefore the operating results are consolidated. Each of these categories of
operating expenses is discussed further below. It should be noted that although a portion of operating expenses is variable and therefore will
fluctuate with operating levels, many costs are fixed in nature and are therefore subject to increase due to inflation and annual labor cost increases.
Additionally, the Company must continue to invest in the development of new products and the infrastructure to market and sell those products even
during periods where operating results reflect only nominal growth, are flat or declining. Accordingly, as the Company makes cost reductions in
response to changes in business levels or other specific business events, these reductions can be partially or wholly offset by these other increases
to the fixed cost structure.
Research and development expenses are incurred for
the design and testing of new products, technologies and processes, including pre-production prototypes, models and tools. Such costs include labor and
employee benefits, contract services, materials, equipment and facilities. Research and development expenses increased $29.2 million, or 29%, during
fiscal year 2004 as compared with the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to higher labor related expense and elevated levels of
spending on new product development, as well as the impact of consolidating four more months of the Japan operations in the current fiscal year as
compared with the prior year. Labor related spending increased approximately $10.3 million, of which $9.2 million was associated with increased
variable incentive expense. The remaining difference is the net effect of annual salary increases offset by reduced headcount and one less week of
operations in the current fiscal year. The Company continuously invests in the development of new products and technologies, and the timing of these
costs varies depending on the stage of the development process. At times, the Company may focus certain engineering resources on the maintenance of the
current product portfolio, (sustaining engineering), which is expensed in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated statements of operations. During the
current year the Company used proportionally more of these engineering resources in new product development, thereby increasing research and
development expense. Additionally, the Company incurred higher expenses associated with engineering materials as a result of the current projects’
stages of development. As the Company was a distributor of Rohde and Schwarz products, there was no research and development expense associated with
the sale of these products.
Selling, general and administrative
(“SG&A”) expenses increased $30.4 million, or $12% in the current fiscal year as compared with the prior year. This increase in SG&A
was primarily attributable to increased labor related expense, increased sales commissions and additional expense associated with the consolidation of
the Japan subsidiary for more periods in the current fiscal year than in the prior year. Labor related expense increased approximately $17.4 million,
primarily driven by $12.5 million of higher variable incentives expense as well as additional increases for annual salary raises. These increases were
partially offset by cost savings of $4.9 million from headcount reduction actions as well as savings associated with one less week in the current
fiscal year as compared with the prior fiscal year. Sales commissions increased $6.6 million over the prior year as a result of the increased order
rate in the current fiscal year as discussed above. The consolidation of the Japan subsidiary for more periods in the current fiscal year resulted in
approximately $9.1 million of additional SG&A expense.
As noted above, the Company incurred selling,
general and administrative expenses to distribute Rohde and Schwarz produced products. These costs included direct expenses to market and sell these
products as well as the allocation of corporate overhead. Upon discontinuation of this distribution agreement, the Company has reduced and redirected
selling, general and administrative expenses in response to the related reduction in gross profit.
25
Equity in business venture’s loss in fiscal
year 2003 represented the Company’s 50% share of net loss from the Sony/Tektronix joint venture. The Company completed the acquisition of
Sony/Tektronix in the second quarter of fiscal year 2003 and results subsequent to the acquisition date have been consolidated in the operating results
of the Company.
Business realignments costs represent actions to
realign the Company’s cost structure in response to dramatic changes in operating levels or a significant acquisition or divestiture. These costs
primarily comprise severance costs for reductions in employee headcount and costs associated with the closure of facilities and subsidiaries. In recent
years, business realignment costs have primarily been associated with the realignment of the Company’s cost structure in response to the dramatic
economic decline experienced in the technology sector beginning during fiscal years 2001, and continuing into fiscal year 2003, as well as
restructuring costs associated with the Company’s acquisition of Sony/Tektronix. In many cases, and especially in foreign countries, these actions
may take significant time to execute. Accordingly, the Company has continued to experience business realignment costs throughout fiscal year 2004 for
actions planned in response to the reductions in operating levels experienced in fiscal year 2002 and 2003. During fiscal year 2004 the Company
incurred business realignment costs of $22.8 million, a reduction from expense of $34.6 million in the prior fiscal year. The reduction from the prior
year is the result of the previously planned actions being executed and recognized with fewer additional actions needing to be planned as business
levels stabilized. Business realignment costs associated with the acquisition of Sony/Tek were $0.1 million in fiscal year 2004 for severance related
costs and $14.5 million in fiscal year 2003 which included $11.2 million for severance related costs and $3.3 million for pension curtailment and
settlement losses for 155 former employees. For a full description of the components of business realignment costs please refer to the Business
Realignment Costs section above in this Management Discussion and Analysis.
Acquisition related (credits) costs, net included
incremental credits and costs incurred as a direct result of the integration of significant acquisitions. The acquisition related credits and costs for
fiscal years 2004 and 2003 are solely related to the Company’s acquisition of Sony/Tektronix discussed above. During fiscal year 2004, the Company
recognized net credits resulting from two significant gains, which were partially offset by certain costs. A tabular summary of the activity is as

The gain on pension restructuring resulted from the
substantial settlement of the defined benefit pension plans in Japan during the second quarter of the current fiscal year, which is further described
in Note 27 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The gain on sale of Shinagawa, Japan property resulted from sale of the previous Japan
headquarters building during the third quarter of the current fiscal year. The Company is currently actively marketing a second property located in
Gotemba, Japan, and incurred the $3.1 million impairment charge of this property in the third quarter of the current fiscal year to properly reflect
its carrying amount at the estimated net selling price. Transition costs represent incremental costs incurred to integrate the operations of the
acquired entity into the on-going operations of the Company. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company offered voluntary retention bonuses
to certain employees in Gotemba, Japan as an incentive to remain with the Company through August 2005 while the Company completes its plan to
transition manufacturing operations to other locations. Accordingly, the Company will recognize a liability for retention bonuses for 48 employees of
approximately $3.7 million ratably through August 2005. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company recognized an expense of $0.6
million for the retention bonuses, which are included in Acquisition related (credits) costs, net on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
26
Non-Operating Income/Expense
Interest income during fiscal year 2004 decreased
$6.4 million from the prior fiscal year. The decrease in interest income was due to a lower average balance of invested cash as well as lower yields on
invested cash.
Interest expense during fiscal year 2004 decreased
$4.7 million as compared with fiscal year 2003. The decrease in interest expense was largely due to a lower average balance of outstanding debt due to
the Company’s retirement of $56.3 million of outstanding debt in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 on the scheduled payment date of August 1,
2003. In addition, the Company paid the outstanding principal balance in full on the TIBOR+1.75% debt facility during fiscal year 2004. For additional
discussion of the Company’s borrowing activity please refer to the Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources section
below.
Other non-operating income (expense), net of $6.2
million during fiscal year 2004, included a net realized gain of $7.3 million recorded during the third quarter in conjunction with the sale of 400,000
shares of common stock of Merix Corporation as discussed further in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for fiscal year 2004 was $49.1
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29%. During the prior fiscal year, the Company realized an overall tax benefit of $1.8 million due to a
$12.5 million benefit resulting from the settlement of the IRS audit of the Company’s fiscal year 1998, 1999 and 2000. This benefit in fiscal year
2003 was offset in part by income tax expense of $10.7 million, which was recorded at an effective tax rate of 32%. The decrease in the effective tax
rate from 32% in the prior fiscal year to 29% during the current fiscal year was due to the resolution of certain tax contingencies as well as the net
utilization of previously impaired foreign tax credits. The effective tax rate was impacted by a variety of estimates, including the amount of income
during fiscal year 2004 and the mix of that income between foreign and domestic sources. To the extent the estimates of these and other amounts change,
the effective tax rate may change accordingly.
Discontinued Operations
During fiscal year 2003, management of the Company
approved and initiated an active plan for the sale of Gage Applied Sciences (“Gage”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Gage, located
in Montreal, Canada, produced PC-based instruments products. The divestiture of this entity was consistent with the Company’s strategy of
concentrating its resources in core product areas and de-emphasizing products which are determined to be less aligned with strategic objectives. This
business was accounted for as a discontinued operation in accordance with SFAS No. 144. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company sold
the operations of Gage to a third party. The Company classified this subsidiary as held-for-sale during fiscal year 2003 and recorded an after-tax
impairment charge of $2.2 million to write-down the carrying value of assets to the net realizable value less estimated selling costs. Upon sale of
this entity in the current fiscal year, the Company recorded an after-tax loss on sale of $1.3 million.
Loss from discontinued operations in the current
fiscal year also included an additional net loss from the sale of the optical parametric test business due to settlement of additional costs arising
after the sale, which closed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. Loss from discontinued operations in the prior fiscal year included operating
losses from Gage and the optical parametric test business, as well as operating losses from VideoTele.com, which was sold during the second quarter of
fiscal year 2003. Offsetting these losses in the prior fiscal year is a $13.0 million gain resulting from resolution of certain estimated liabilities
related to the sale of the Company’s Color Printing and Imaging Division, which is discussed in more detail in Note 6.
Net Earnings (Loss)
For fiscal year 2004, the Company recognized
consolidated net earnings of $116.1 million, an increase of $90.8 million from net earnings of $25.3 million for fiscal year 2003. The current year
increase was largely due to overall increased sales, higher gross profit, the $36.7 million pension gain in Japan recorded during the second quarter of
the current fiscal year, as well as the gain of $22.5 million from the sale of property in Japan recorded in the third quarter. These increases were
partially offset by additional operating expenses from the consolidation of the Japan subsidiary.
27
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The increase in earnings per share is a result of
the increased net earnings discussed above, and to a lesser extent, decreased weighted average shares outstanding in the current year as a result of
shares repurchased by the Company.
Fiscal Year 2003 Compared to Fiscal Year 2002
Economic Conditions
Beginning in the second half of fiscal year 2001,
and continuing through fiscal year 2002, economic conditions had a significant negative impact on many markets into which the Company sold products
including, but not limited to, optical design and manufacturing, mobile handset manufacturing, automated test equipment, telecommunications and
semiconductor design and manufacturing. During fiscal year 2003, these economic conditions continued to affect many of the markets into which the
Company sold products, although the impacts were less severe than in the prior years and certain markets appeared to begin to stabilize. From a
geographical perspective, the Company began to see the economic environment stabilize in the United States and Japan. These regions experienced large
declines in the prior year.
In response to reduced levels of orders and
associated sales, the Company incurred significant business realignment costs during fiscal years 2002 and 2003. The Company incurred business
realignment costs of $34.6 million during fiscal year 2003 to reduce the Company’s cost structure in order to provide an amount of operating
income that management believed was appropriate at the current sales levels and to adjust the cost structure of the newly acquired Japan
subsidiary.
Product Orders
Product orders for fiscal year 2003 were $750.3
million, an increase of $62.9 million or 9% from product orders of $687.4 million for fiscal year 2002. This increase was primarily due to the
incremental impact of $35.0 million from acquisition of the Japan subsidiary. To a lesser extent, the increase was also due to favorable customer
acceptance of recently introduced products, an extra week of operations in fiscal year 2003, which had 53 weeks as compared with 52 weeks in the prior
year, as well as higher than average cancellations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, which resulted from the impact of the economic conditions
noted above.
Orders from the Americas for fiscal year 2003 were
$321.6 million, a decrease of $8.0 million or 2% from the prior year. This decrease was largely due to orders from the Other Americas, which decreased
to $20.4 million, or 26% from orders of $27.4 million in the prior year. Orders from the United States for fiscal year 2003 were $301.2 million, a
decrease of $0.9 million from orders of $302.1 million in the prior year. The slight decrease in orders in the Americas was a result of the economic
conditions noted above, which continued to impact the Company during fiscal year 2003. Orders from Japan were $99.1 million, an increase of $44.5
million or 82% from fiscal year 2002. This increase in Japan orders was primarily due to the $35 million incremental impact from inclusion of orders
from the newly acquired Japan subsidiary. The Company completed the acquisition of the subsidiary in the second quarter of fiscal year 2003. For an
additional discussion of this acquisition, see the Acquisition section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Orders from the Pacific,
excluding Japan, were $169.6 million, up $24.5 million or 17% from the prior year. This growth was primarily due to strong demand in China, Korea and
Taiwan for general purpose products. As noted above, the economic conditions had a less severe impact on operations in the Pacific region. Orders from
Europe increased slightly to $160.0 million, an increase of $1.9 million or 1% from fiscal year 2002, which benefited from favorable currency impact
offset by continued difficult economic conditions in that region.
Net Sales
Net sales for fiscal year 2003 were $791.0 million,
a decrease of $19.3 million from net sales of $810.3 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in net sales was the net result of two
primary factors. First, the Company entered fiscal year 2002 with a substantial amount of order backlog, which was then reduced by $71.9 million during
fiscal year 2002 to generate sales. Accordingly, sales for fiscal year 2002 were
28
comparatively large when compared to the orders for that fiscal year. Second, the
decline in sales from fiscal year 2002 to 2003 was partially offset by the acquisition of the Japan subsidiary, which provided approximately $42
million of additional sales.
Net sales from the Americas for fiscal year 2003
were $353.0 million, a decrease of $70.5 million or 17% from the prior year. This decrease comprised the United States, which decreased to $332.7
million, down 15%, from $393.0 million in the prior year and the Other Americas, which decreased to sales of $20.3 million, down 34% from $30.5 million
in the prior year. The decrease in the Americas was primarily the result of lower backlog levels, which constrained the Company’s ability to
generate sales through the reduction of backlog as noted above. Net sales from Japan were $107.1 million, an increase of $39.8 million or 59% from
sales in fiscal year 2002, primarily due to a $42 million increase resulting from the incremental impact of consolidation of the newly acquired Japan
subsidiary. In addition, sales from the Pacific, excluding Japan, were $163.2 million, up $20.0 million or 14% from the prior year. This increase in
the Pacific region was the result of increased orders in this region during these comparative periods. Sales from Europe declined to $167.7 million, a
decrease of $8.6 million or 5% from fiscal year 2002 largely due to lower backlog levels in fiscal year 2003 as compared to fiscal year
2002.
Gross Profit and Gross
Margin
Gross profit for fiscal year 2003 was $405.7
million, an increase of $5.1 million or 1% from gross profit in fiscal year 2002. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 51% in fiscal year 2003
compared to 49% in the preceding year. The improvement in gross margin was attributable to the positive impact of consolidating Tektronix Japan since
the second quarter of the current year. In addition, charges associated with the impairment of inventory were approximately $11.7 million in fiscal
year 2003, a decrease of $8.8 million as compared with charges of approximately $20.5 million during the prior year. Inventory impairment activity in
fiscal year 2002 was abnormally high due to the dramatic decline in orders from fiscal year 2001 levels. The Company’s gross margin was also
favorably impacted by actions taken to reduce the cost structure in the manufacturing areas to better align with the lower order
levels.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for fiscal year 2003, including
business realignment and acquisition related costs, were $389.8 million, an increase of $20.7 million from $369.1 million for fiscal year 2002.
Operating expenses in fiscal year 2003 included $36.1 million of incremental operating expenses resulting from the consolidation of Tektronix Japan.
Business realignment costs and acquisition related costs were $38.1 million, an increase of $11.1 million from $27.0 million for fiscal year 2002.
These increases were partially offset by the favorable impact of cost reduction actions implemented by the Company. Cost reductions were primarily
being achieved through reductions of headcount and to a lesser extent, through lower discretionary spending. This resulted in operating income of $15.9
million, or 2% of net sales during fiscal year 2003, compared with operating income of $31.5 million, or 4% of net sales in the preceding
year.
Research and development expenses for fiscal year
2003 were $101.1 million or 13% of net sales, as compared with $112.4 million or 14% of net sales in fiscal year 2002. The $11.3 million decrease was
the net result of higher spending in the preceding year associated with the timing of new product development, partially offset by an extra week of
operations in fiscal year 2003 and $6.8 million of incremental expense from the consolidation of Tektronix Japan. The Company had initiated many
actions to reduce its cost structure during fiscal years 2002 and 2003, but the approach to research and development expenses had been very targeted to
preserve critical product development in core strategic product categories.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for
fiscal year 2003 were $247.6 million or 31% of net sales, an increase of $26.8 million, as compared with $220.8 million or 27% of net sales during
fiscal year 2002. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2003 reflected $28.7 million of incremental expense from
the consolidation of Tektronix Japan and an extra week of operations in fiscal year 2003. These increases were partially offset by the impact of
headcount reductions and other cost restructuring actions enacted by the Company.
Equity in business venture’s loss represented
the Company’s 50% share of net loss from Sony/Tektronix. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of
Sony/Tektronix.
29
Results prior to the date of acquisition were included in Equity in business
venture’s loss at Tektronix’ ownership percentage. Results subsequent to the acquisition date had been consolidated in the operating results
of the Company. See the discussion in the Acquisitions section of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis for further information on this
acquisition. Equity in business venture’s loss was $2.9 million for fiscal year 2003, compared with equity losses of $4.0 million in fiscal year
2002.
The Company incurred $34.6 million of business
realignment costs in fiscal year 2003 for employee severance, impairment of an intangible asset, a facility lease obligation and closure of other
facilities. The Company incurred $26.5 million of severance and related costs for the termination of 524 employees resulting from actions to align the
Company’s cost structure with the reduced sales levels resulting from the recent economic conditions discussed above, actions taken to align the cost structure of
Tektronix Japan and adjustments to estimates
in prior years. These severance costs included $11.2 million for 155 former employees of Tektronix Japan and $3.3 million for pension curtailment and
settlement losses for the employees terminated in Japan. An impairment charge of $9.1 million was recognized to write-down an intangible asset for
acquired Bluetooth technology. The closure of certain foreign and domestic operations resulted in credits totaling $1.3 million for accumulated
translation gains and $0.3 million primarily for other asset write-downs and contractual obligations. The Company reversed $2.0 million for a facility
lease obligation due to the sale of the Company’s optical transmission test product line in the second quarter of fiscal year 2003. The Company
accrued $2.0 million during fiscal year 2003 associated with the exiting of facilities previously utilized for optical transmission test.
See the Business Realignment Costs section of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further information on business realignment costs.
The Company incurred acquisition related costs of
$3.5 million in fiscal year 2003. These costs represented direct incremental costs incurred as a result of the Sony/Tektronix Acquisition completed
during the second quarter of fiscal year 2003. See the discussion in the Acquisitions section of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis for
further information on this acquisition.
The Company recognized a loss on disposal of fixed
assets of $0.1 million in fiscal year 2003. This compared with a loss on sale of fixed assets of $5.8 million in fiscal year 2002. The change from the
prior year was largely due to the $3.2 million impairment of a building in the second quarter of fiscal year 2002.
Non-Operating Income/Expense
Interest expense was $6.9 million for fiscal year
2003 as compared with $10.2 million in fiscal year 2002. The overall decrease in interest expense was due to a reduction in the average balance of
outstanding debt primarily from the extinguishment of $41.8 million of long-term debt on the scheduled payment date of August 15,
2002.
Interest income was $28.0 million for fiscal year
2003 as compared with $34.6 million in fiscal year 2002. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a lower average rate of return on
invested cash in fiscal year 2003 as compared to average returns in fiscal year 2002. This reduction in average returns was due to decreases in
interest rates during these periods. The decrease in interest income was also partially attributable to a lower average balance of cash and marketable
investments during fiscal year 2003 as compared to fiscal year 2002.
Other expense, net was $3.7 million for fiscal year
2003 as compared with $4.3 million in fiscal year 2002. This included items such as foreign currency exchange and other miscellaneous fees and
expenses.
Income Taxes
Income tax (benefit) expense from continuing
operations was a net benefit of $1.8 million for fiscal year 2003 as compared with an expense of $18.1 million in fiscal year 2002. In the first
quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Company recorded a $12.5 million tax benefit resulting from the favorable settlement of IRS audits for the
Company’s fiscal years 1998, 1999 and 2000. Before the impact of this $12.5 million tax benefit, the Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal
year 2003 was 32% as compared with 35% for the fiscal year 2002. The reduction in effective tax rate was the result of effective tax planning
strategies employed by the Company.
30
Income from Continuing
Operations
Income from continuing operations was $35.1 million,
or 4% of sales for fiscal year 2003, compared with $33.6 million, or 4% of sales for fiscal year 2002.
Discontinued Operations
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2003, management
approved and initiated an active plan for the sale of the optical parametric test business. The loss from sale of the optical parametric test business
of $17.1 million, net of income taxes, for fiscal year 2003 included a $15.3 million write down, net of income taxes, of the carrying value of net
assets which were adjusted to estimated selling price less costs to sell. Loss from operations of the optical parametric test business was $2.6
million, net of income taxes, in fiscal year 2003 compared to $0.2 million in fiscal year 2002.
During fiscal year 2003, the Company reversed
accrued liabilities totaling $16.3 million, net of income taxes, which were originally recorded in connection with the sale of CPID in January 2000.
These amounts were reversed as new information became available to the Company. For additional discussion of the CPID divestiture see the Discontinued
Operations section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
As discussed in the Discontinued Operations section
above, the Company sold the VT.c subsidiary on November 7, 2002. The VT.c subsidiary was treated as a discontinued operation. Loss from discontinued
operations of VT.c was $2.6 million for fiscal year 2003 compared to a net loss of $1.9 million in fiscal year 2002. In fiscal year 2003, the Company
incurred additional transaction-related fees and other costs of $0.6 million, net of income taxes, related to this sale.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003,
management approved and initiated an active plan for the sale of its Gage subsidiary. The Company recognized an impairment charge of $2.2 million, net
of income taxes, in fiscal year 2003 to write down the net assets of Gage to net realizable value less estimated selling costs. Loss from operations of
Gage was $0.9 million, net of income taxes, in fiscal year 2003 compared to $1.0 million, net of income taxes, in fiscal year 2002.
Net Earnings/Loss
The Company recognized net earnings of $25.3 million
for fiscal year 2003, a decrease of $7.4 million from $32.7 million recognized in fiscal year 2002. This decrease was due to a number of factors, which
included an $11.1 million pre-tax increase in business realignment costs and acquisition related costs over the preceding year and a $17.1 million net
loss on the sale of the optical parametric test business. These charges were partially offset by a $16.3 million reversal of liabilities, net of tax,
related to the sale of CPID discussed above; and the $12.5 million income tax benefit from favorable settlement of the IRS audit recorded in fiscal
year 2003.
Earnings Per Share
The Company recognized basic and diluted earnings
per share of $0.29 for fiscal year 2003. For fiscal year 2002, the Company recognized basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.36 and $0.35,
respectively. The decrease in earnings per share was a result of decreased net earnings discussed above which was offset by a decrease in the weighted
average basic and diluted shares outstanding due to shares repurchased by the Company during fiscal years 2003 and 2002.

Operating Activities. Cash provided by
operating activities for fiscal year 2004 increased $63.1 million in fiscal year 2004 as compared with the prior fiscal year. The most significant
factor contributing to this increase was the $90.8 million increase in net earnings in the current fiscal year. The impact of net earnings on cash
provided by operating activities was also affected by noncash gains and charges, such as the gain on Japan pension restructuring, and accruals of
expenses for which the related cash outflow will occur in a subsequent period, such as annual incentive compensation and deferred taxes. Other
adjustments to reconcile net earnings to net cash provided by operating activities are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Approximately $29.8 million of annual incentive compensation accrued during fiscal year 2004 was paid subsequently in July 2004.
During fiscal year 2004, the Company made a cash
contribution of $30.0 million to the U.S. cash balance pension plan. This funding reduced Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. Subsequent to the current fiscal year, the Company made a voluntary contribution of $46.5 million to the U.S. cash balance plan in June 2004.
Depending on the future market performance of the pension plan assets, the Company may make additional large cash contributions to the plan in the
future.
Investing Activities. Net cash flow from
investing activities was an outflow of $11.7 million during fiscal year 2004 as compared with an outflow of $4.7 million in the prior fiscal year. The
increase in net cash outflow from investing activities was primarily attributable to net purchases of short-term and long-term investment securities.
The increased investment in these securities was a result of investing the positive operating cash flow generated within the fiscal year. The outflow
for investment purchases was partially offset by a net cash inflow of $31.1 million from purchases and sales of fixed assets. The Company expended
$18.6 million for capital expenditures and realized $49.7 million of proceeds on sales of fixed assets. Sales of fixed assets included proceeds of
$46.0 million from the sale of the Shinagawa, Japan property.
Financing Activities. Cash used in financing
activities increased $23.7 million in fiscal year 2004 as compared with cash used in financing activities during fiscal year 2003. Financing activities
in fiscal year 2004 included repayment of $118.5 million of long-term debt primarily resulting from the August 1, 2003 scheduled 7.5% notes repayment
of $56.3 million and the repayment of the full outstanding principal balance of $60.9 million on the TIBOR+1.75% debt facility. Debt repayments in the
prior fiscal year were $42.8 million. During fiscal year 2004 the Company repurchased 2.7 million shares of outstanding common stock totaling $72.4
million, a reduction from prior year share repurchases of $108.4 million. In the current year the Company had a financing cash outflow of $10.2 million
for the payment of dividends to shareholders. There were no dividends paid to shareholders in the prior fiscal year. These cash outflows were partially
offset by proceeds from employee stock plans of $33.9 million in the current fiscal year, an increase from proceeds of $7.7 million in the prior fiscal
year. The increase in proceeds from employee stock plans was primarily due to increased option exercise activity in fiscal year 2004 as compared with
the prior fiscal year.
The above noted repurchases of common stock were
made under an authorization approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. On March 15, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up
to $550.0 million of the Company’s common stock on the open market or through negotiated transactions. As of May 29, 2004, the Company had
repurchased a total of 17.1 million shares at an average price of $22.69 per share totaling $388.8 million under this authorization. The reacquired
shares were immediately retired, in accordance with Oregon corporate law.
32
At May 29, 2004, the Company maintained unsecured
bank credit facilities totaling $58.1 million, of which $55.0 million was unused. Concurrent with the Sony/Tektronix acquisition on September 30, 2002,
an agreement was entered into to borrow up to 9 billion Yen at an interest rate of 1.75% above the Tokyo Inter Bank Offering Rate. During fiscal year
2004, the Company repaid 6.5 billion Yen or approximately $60.9 million, which represented all of the outstanding principal balance and cancelled the
debt facility.
Cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities
and current borrowing capacity are expected to be sufficient to fund operations, acquisitions and potential acquisitions, capital expenditures and
contractual obligations through fiscal year 2005.

The Company’s working capital decreased in the
current year by $52.0 million. Current assets decreased in the current year by $40.2 million, largely due to decreases of $41.4 million in cash and
cash equivalents and $18.9 million in short-term marketable investments. The decreases in cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable
investments were primarily due to the repositioning of these assets into long-term marketable investments to achieve higher interest yields. Other
current assets decreased by $14.0 million, the net result of the sale of property classified as held-for-sale located in Shinagawa, Japan in the third
quarter of fiscal year 2004, offset by the classification of property located in Gotemba, Japan to held-for-sale in the third quarter of fiscal year
2004. The increase in accounts receivable was due to the timing of shipments at the end of the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. The increase
in inventories was due to the timing of shipments of finished goods inventory and timing of materials purchases. Current liabilities increased $11.8
million, primarily from an increase of $31.9 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities largely due to timing of manufacturing purchases and
an increase of $31.0 million in accrued compensation largely related to the accrual of fiscal year incentives. These current liability increases were
partially offset by the repayment of $56.3 million of the Company’s 7.5% notes payable on August 1, 2003. Assets and liabilities of discontinued
operations were zero as of May 29, 2004 due to the sale of Gage during the first quarter of fiscal year 2004.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143,
“Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for certain obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The provisions of SFAS No. 143 were required to be applied starting
with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, however early adoption was encouraged. The Company early adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 as of
May 27, 2001. As a result of the early adoption of this statement, the Company recorded an expense of $1.5 million for retirement obligations of
certain long-lived assets during fiscal year 2002, which is included in Loss on disposal of fixed assets on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
In October 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(“EITF”) issued EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” This standard addresses revenue
recognition accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. The Company adopted the
provisions of this statement at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, without a material effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In April 2003, SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (“SFAS No. 149”) was issued by the FASB. SFAS No. 149 amends SFAS No.
133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to clarify the definition of a derivative and incorporates many of the
implementation issues cleared as a result of the Derivatives Implementation Group process. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or
modified after June 30, 2003 and has been applied prospectively after that date. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 149 effective July 1,
2003, without a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
At the November 12–13, 2003 meeting, the EITF
reached a consensus on Issue 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” that certain
quantitative and qualitative disclosures should be required for debt and marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale or
held-to-maturity under SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, that are impaired at the balance
sheet date but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements in fiscal year
2004. At the March 17–18, 2004 meeting, the EITF reached a consensus, which approved an impairment model for debt and equity securities. This
consensus will be effective beginning with the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this consensus on
the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132
(revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and
106, and a revision of FASB Statement No. 132.” SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003) revised employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other
postretirement benefit plans. It did not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting
for Pensions,” SFAS No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination
Benefits,” and SFAS
34
No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions.” The new rules require additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined
benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. The required information will be provided separately for pension plans and for other
postretirement benefit plans. The new disclosures are included in the Company’s fiscal year 2004 consolidated financial statements and certain
interim disclosures will commence with the first quarter of fiscal year 2005.
Risks and Uncertainties
Described below are some of the risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this
Annual Report. See “Forward-Looking Statements” that precedes Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
Market Risk and Cyclical Downturns in the Markets
in Which Tektronix Competes
Tektronix’ business depends on capital
expenditures of manufacturers in a wide range of industries, including the telecommunications, semiconductor, and computer industries. Each of these
industries has historically been very cyclical and has experienced periodic downturns, which have had a material adverse impact on the industries’
demand for equipment, including test and measurement equipment manufactured and marketed by Tektronix. In particular, the telecommunications industry,
including but not limited to the optical segment, has experienced more dramatic declines than other industries. In addition, the severity and length of
any downturn may also affect overall access to capital, which could adversely affect the Company’s customers across many industries. During
periods of reduced and declining demand, Tektronix may need to rapidly align its cost structure with prevailing market conditions while at the same
time motivating and retaining key employees. While the economy had recovered by fiscal year 2004, no assurance can be given regarding the length or
extent of the recovery, and no assurance can be given that Tektronix’ net sales and operating results will not be adversely impacted by the
reversal of any current trends or any future downturns or slowdowns in the rate of capital investment in these industries.
Timely Delivery of Competitive
Products
Tektronix sells its products to customers that
participate in rapidly changing high technology markets, which are characterized by short product life cycles. The Company’s ability to deliver a
timely flow of competitive new products and market acceptance of those products, as well as the ability to increase production or to develop and
maintain effective sales channels, is essential to growing the business. Because Tektronix sells test and measurement products that enable its
customers to develop new technologies, the Company must accurately anticipate the ever-evolving needs of those customers and deliver appropriate
products and new technologies at competitive prices to meet customer demands. The Company’s ability to deliver such products could be affected by
engineering or other development program delays as well as the availability of parts and supplies from third party providers on a timely basis and at
reasonable prices. Failure to deliver competitive products in a timely manner and at a reasonable price could have an adverse effect on the results of
operations, financial condition or cash flows of the Company.
Competition
Tektronix competes with a number of companies in
specialized areas of other test and measurement products and one large broad line measurement products supplier, Agilent Technologies. Other
competitors include Acterna Corporation, Anritsu Corporation, LeCroy Corporation, Rohde & Schwarz, Spirent PLC, Yokogawa Electric Corporation and
many other smaller companies. In general, the test and measurement industry is a highly competitive market based primarily on product performance,
technology, customer service, product availability and price. Some of the Company’s competitors may have greater resources to apply to each of
these factors and in some cases have built significant reputations with the customer base in each market in which Tektronix competes. The Company faces
pricing pressures that may have an adverse impact on the Company’s earnings. If the Company is unable to compete effectively on these and other
factors, it could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. In addition, the
Company enjoys a leadership position in certain core product categories, and continually develops and
35
introduces new products designed to maintain that leadership, as well as to
penetrate new markets. Failure to develop and introduce new products that maintain a leadership position or that fail to penetrate new markets, may
adversely affect operating results.
Supplier Risks
The Company’s manufacturing operations are
dependent on the ability of suppliers to deliver quality components, subassemblies and completed products in time to meet critical manufacturing and
distribution schedules. The Company periodically experiences constrained supply of certain component parts in some product lines as a result of strong
demand in the industry for those parts. Such constraints, if persistent, may adversely affect operating results until alternate sourcing can be
developed. There is increased risk of supplier constraints in periods where the Company is increasing production volume to meet customer demands.
Volatility in the prices of these component parts, an inability to secure enough components at reasonable prices to build new products in a timely
manner in the quantities and configurations demanded or, conversely, a temporary oversupply of these parts, could adversely affect the Company’s
future operating results. In addition, the Company uses certain sole sourced components, which are integral to a variety of products. Disruption in key
sole sourced suppliers could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
Worldwide Economic and Market
Conditions
The Company maintains operations in four major
geographies: the Americas, including the United States, and Other Americas, which includes Mexico, Canada and South America; Europe, which includes
Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Africa; the Pacific, which includes China, India, Korea and Singapore; and Japan. During the last fiscal year, more
than half of the Company’s revenues were from international sales. In addition, some of the Company’s manufacturing operations and key
suppliers are located in foreign countries, including China, where the Company expects to further expand its operations. As a result, the business is
subject to the worldwide economic and market conditions risks generally associated with doing business globally, such as fluctuating exchange rates,
the stability of international monetary conditions, tariff and trade policies, domestic and foreign tax policies, foreign governmental regulations,
political unrest, wars and acts of terrorism, epidemic disease or other health concerns and changes in other economic or political conditions. These
factors, among others, could influence the Company’s ability to sell in global markets, as well as its ability to manufacture products or procure
supplies. A significant downturn in the global economy or a particular region could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
Intellectual Property Risks
As a technology-based company, Tektronix’
success depends on developing and protecting its intellectual property. Tektronix relies generally on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret
laws in the United States and abroad. Electronic equipment as complex as most of the Company’s products, however, is generally not patentable in
its entirety. Tektronix also licenses intellectual property from third parties and relies on those parties to maintain and protect their technology.
The Company cannot be certain that actions the Company takes to establish and protect proprietary rights will be adequate, particularly in countries
(including China) where intellectual property rights are not highly developed or protected. If the Company is unable to adequately protect its
technology, or if the Company is unable to continue to obtain or maintain licenses for protected technology from third parties, it could have a
material adverse affect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. From time to time in the usual course of
business, the Company receives notices from third parties regarding intellectual property infringement or takes action against others with regard to
intellectual property rights. Even where the Company is successful in defending or pursuing such claims, the Company may incur significant costs. In
the event of a successful claim against the Company, Tektronix could lose its rights to needed technology or be required to pay license fees for the
infringed rights, either of which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business.
36
Environmental Risks
Tektronix is subject to a variety of federal, state,
local and foreign environmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of its hazardous chemicals used during the
Company’s manufacturing process. The Company has closed a licensed hazardous waste management facility at its Beaverton, Oregon campus and has
entered into a consent order with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality requiring certain remediation actions (see Part I, Item 1,
“Environment” above). If Tektronix fails to comply with the consent order or any present or future regulations, the Company could be subject
to future liabilities or the suspension of production. In addition, such regulations could restrict the Company’s ability to expand its facilities
or could require Tektronix to acquire costly equipment, or to incur other significant expenses to comply with environmental
regulations.
Possible Volatility of Stock
Price
The price of the Company’s common stock may be
subject to wide, rapid fluctuations. Such fluctuations may be due to factors specific to the Company, such as changes in operating results or changes
in analysts’ estimates regarding earnings. Fluctuations in the stock price may also be due to factors relating to the telecommunications,
semiconductor, and computer industries or to the securities markets in general. Fluctuations in stock prices have often been unrelated to the operating
performance of the specific companies whose stocks are traded. Shareholders should be willing to incur the risk of such fluctuations.
Successful Integration of Inet, Technologies,
Inc.
The proposed transaction to acquire Inet is subject
to a number of contingencies, including approval by Inet’s shareholders and regulatory approvals. Failure to satisfy those contingencies will
prevent closing the transaction and will prevent the planned merger of the two companies.
The successful integration of the Inet business is
subject to a number of risk factors which could materially adversely affect Tektronix’ consolidated results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows. These risks include:
• |
|
The necessity of coordinating geographically separated
organizations |
• |
|
Integrating personnel with diverse business
backgrounds |
• |
|
Integrating Inet’s technology and products |
• |
|
Combining different corporate cultures |
• |
|
Retaining key employees |
• |
|
Maintaining customer satisfaction and current bid
processes |
• |
|
Maintaining product development schedules |
• |
|
Coordinating sales and marketing activities |
• |
|
Preserving important distribution relationships |
• |
|
Diversion of management’s attention with consequent
negative impact upon the Company’s execution of its overall strategy |
• |
|
Failure to realize upon expected cost savings and other
synergies from the merger |
Discontinuation of Rohde and Schwarz Distribution
Agreement
Effective June 1, 2004, Tektronix no longer
distributes Rohde & Schwarz products. Discontinuation of this distribution agreement will result in the loss of the associated revenue and gross
profit. While the Company has implemented specific actions to offset the associated decrease in gross profit by reducing and redirecting certain costs,
there is a risk that these targeted actions will not be sufficient, it may take longer to complete these actions than originally anticipated, or
involve additional risks that were not foreseen by the Company.
37
Other Risk Factors
Other risk factors include but are not limited to
changes in the mix of products sold, regulatory and tax legislation, changes in effective tax rates, inventory risks due to changes in market demand or
the Company’s business strategies, potential litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business, credit risk of customers, the fact
that a substantial portion of the Company’s sales are generated from orders received during each quarter, significant modifications to existing
information systems, and the susceptibility of assets in the Company’s pension plans to market risk and other risk factors.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk
Financial Market Risk
The Company is exposed to financial market risks,
including interest rate, equity price and foreign currency exchange rate risks.
The Company maintains a short-term and long-term
investment portfolio consisting of fixed rate commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, U.S. Treasury and agency notes, asset backed securities and
mortgage securities. The weighted average maturity of the portfolio, excluding mortgage securities, was two years or less. Mortgage securities may have
a weighted average life of less than seven years and are managed consistent with the Lehman Mortgage Index. An increase in interest rates of similar
instruments would decrease the value of certain of these investments. A 10% rise in interest rates as of May 29, 2004 would reduce the market value by
$2.4 million, which would be reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until sold.
At May 29, 2004, the Company had no bond
indebtedness. The bonds were retired on August 1, 2003.
The Company is exposed to equity price risk
primarily through its marketable equity securities portfolio, including investments in Merix Corporation, Tut Systems, Inc., and other companies. The
Company has not entered into any hedging programs to mitigate equity price risk. An adverse change of 20% in the value of these securities would reduce
the market value by $2.8 million, which would likely be reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until
sold. If the adverse change results in an impairment that is considered to be other-than-temporary, the loss on impairment would be charged to net
earnings on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange
rate risk primarily through commitments denominated in foreign currencies. The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, primarily forward
foreign currency exchange contracts, generally with maturities of one to three months, to mitigate this risk where natural hedging strategies cannot be
employed. The Company’s policy is to only enter into derivative transactions when the Company has an identifiable exposure to risk, thus not
creating additional foreign currency exchange rate risk. At May 29, 2004, there were no forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Tektronix, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets of Tektronix, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of May 29, 2004 and May 31, 2003, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal years ended May 29, 2004, May 31, 2003 and May 25,
2002. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)2. These financial statements and financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tektronix, Inc. and subsidiaries as of May 29, 2004 and May 31, 2003,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the fiscal years ended May 29, 2004, May 31, 2003 and May 25, 2002, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. The Company
Tektronix, Inc. (“Tektronix” or the
“Company”) manufactures, markets and services test, measurement and monitoring solutions to a wide variety of customers in many industries,
including computing, communications, semiconductors, broadcast, education, government, military/aerospace, research, automotive and consumer
electronics. Tektronix enables its customers to design, manufacture, deploy, monitor and service next-generation global communications networks,
computing, and advanced and pervasive technologies. Revenue is derived principally through the development, manufacturing and marketing of a broad
range of products including: oscilloscopes; logic analyzers; signal sources; communication test equipment, including mobile protocol test, wireless
field test and spectrum analysis equipment; video test equipment; and related components, support services and accessories. The Company maintains
operations in four major geographies: the Americas, including the United States, Mexico, Canada and South America; Europe, which includes Europe,
Russia, the Middle East and Africa; the Pacific, including China, India, Korea, and Singapore; and Japan.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Financial statement
presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Tektronix and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in joint ventures and minority-owned companies where the Company exercises
significant influence are accounted for under the equity method with the Company’s percentage of earnings included in Equity in business
venture’s loss on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation with no effect on previously reported earnings. The
Company’s fiscal year is the 52 or 53 weeks ending the last Saturday in May. Fiscal years 2004 and 2002 included 52 weeks, while fiscal year 2003
included 53 weeks.
Use of estimates
The presentation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These
estimates and assumptions, including those used to record the results of discontinued operations, affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the revenues and expenses reported during
the period. Examples include the allowance for doubtful accounts; estimates of contingent liabilities; intangible asset valuation; inventory valuation;
pension plan assumptions; determining when investment impairments are other-than-temporary; and the assessment of the valuation of deferred income
taxes and income tax contingencies. Actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits in
banks and highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
Marketable investments
Short-term marketable investments include
investments with maturities of greater than three months and less than one year. Long-term marketable investments include investments with maturities
of greater than one year.
At May 29, 2004 and May 31, 2003, marketable
investments were classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair market value with the related unrealized holdings gains and losses excluded from
earnings and included, net of deferred income taxes, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Prior to February 23,
2002, marketable investments, excluding corporate securities, were classified as
44
held-to-maturity and were recorded at their amortized cost. The specific
identification method is used to recognize realized gains and losses on the sale of marketable investments.
Property, plant and
equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from ten to forty years for buildings and two to seven years for machinery
and equipment, and is provided using the straight-line method.
Deferred income taxes
Deferred income taxes, reflecting the impact of
temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting and tax purposes, are based on tax laws currently enacted.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.
Software development costs
Software development costs that are incurred after
technological feasibility has been established are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) SFAS
No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed” and then amortized over the lesser of five
years or the economic life of the related product.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets, primarily goodwill, patents and
trademarks, are stated at cost. For intangible assets excluding goodwill, amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over periods generally not
exceeding fifteen years. Intangible assets other than goodwill are included in Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
Impairment of long-lived
assets
Long-lived assets and intangibles are reviewed for
impairment when events or circumstances indicate costs may not be recoverable. Impairment exists when the carrying value of the asset is greater than
the pre-tax undiscounted future cash flows expected to be provided by the asset. If impairment exists, the asset is written down to its fair value.
Fair value is determined through quoted market values or through the calculation of the pre-tax present value of future cash flows expected to be
provided by the asset.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. These criteria are
met at the time the product is shipped under FOB shipping point shipping terms. Upon shipment, the Company also provides for estimated costs that may
be incurred for product warranties and sales returns. When other significant obligations remain after products are delivered, revenue is recognized
only after such obligations are fulfilled. Revenue earned from service is recognized ratably over the contractual period or as the services are
performed. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as Cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Advertising
Advertising production and placement costs are
expensed when incurred. Advertising expenses were $12.2 million, $12.8 million and $15.7 million in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
Environmental costs
Environmental costs are accrued, except to the
extent costs can be capitalized, when environmental assessments are made or remedial efforts are probable and when the related costs can be reasonably
estimated. Environmental liability accruals are calculated as the best estimate of costs expected to be incurred. If this
45
estimate can only be identified within a range and no specific amount within that
range is determined more likely than any other amount within the range, the minimum of the range is accrued. Actual costs incurred may vary from these
estimates due to the inherent uncertainties involved. Accrued environmental costs are recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Foreign currency translation
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries that
operate in a local currency environment are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at
the average exchange rate during the period. Adjustments arising from the translation of assets and liabilities are accumulated as a separate component
of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in Shareholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Derivatives
The Company utilizes derivative financial
instruments, primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts, to reduce the impact of foreign currency exchange rate risks where natural hedging
strategies cannot be effectively employed. The notional or contract amounts of the hedging instruments do not represent amounts exchanged by the
parties and, thus, are not a measure of the Company’s exposure due to the use of derivatives. The Company’s forward exchange contracts have
generally ranged from one to three months in original maturity, and no forward exchange contract has had an original maturity greater than one
year.
The Company does not hold or issue derivative
financial instruments for trading purposes. The purpose of the Company’s hedging activities is to reduce the risk that the eventual cash flows of
the underlying assets, liabilities and firm commitments will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. In general, the Company’s
derivative activities do not create foreign currency exchange rate risk because fluctuations in the value of the instruments used for hedging purposes
are offset by fluctuations in the value of the underlying exposures being hedged. Counterparties to derivative financial instruments expose the Company
to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance. However, the Company has entered into these instruments with creditworthy financial
institutions and considers the risk of nonperformance to be remote.
All derivatives, including foreign currency exchange
contracts are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are recorded at fair value through earnings. If a
derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are either offset against the change in fair
value of underlying assets or liabilities through earnings or recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss until the underlying hedged item is
recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for certain obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The
provisions of SFAS No. 143 are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, however early adoption was encouraged.
The Company early adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 as of May 27, 2001. As a result of the early adoption of this statement, the Company recorded
an expense of $1.5 million for retirement obligations of certain long-lived assets during fiscal year 2002, which is included in Loss on disposal of
fixed assets on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In October 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(“EITF”) issued EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” This standard addressed revenue
recognition accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. The Company adopted the
provisions of this statement at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, without a material effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In April 2003, SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (“SFAS No. 149”) was issued by the FASB. SFAS No. 149 amends SFAS No.
133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to clarify the definition of a derivative and incorporates many
of
46
the implementation issues cleared as a result of the Derivatives Implementation
Group process. This statement was effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and has been applied prospectively after that
date. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 149 effective July 1, 2003, without a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
At the November 12–13, 2003 meeting, the EITF
reached a consensus on Issue 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” that certain
quantitative and qualitative disclosures should be required for debt and marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale or
held-to-maturity under SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, that are impaired at the balance
sheet date but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements in fiscal year
2004. At the March 17–18, 2004 meeting, the EITF reached a consensus, which approved an impairment model for debt and equity securities. This
consensus will be effective beginning with the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this consensus on
the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132
(revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and
106, and a revision of FASB Statement No. 132.” SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003) revises employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other
postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by SFAS No. 87, “Employers’
Accounting for Pensions,” SFAS No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for
Termination Benefits,” and SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.” The new rules
require additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other
postretirement benefit plans. The required information will be provided separately for pension plans and for other postretirement benefit plans. The
new disclosures are included in the Company’s fiscal year 2004 consolidated financial statements and certain interim disclosures will commence
with the first quarter of fiscal year 2005.
4. Earnings Per Share, Including Pro Forma Effects of
Stock-Based Compensation
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on these same weighted average
shares outstanding plus the effect of potential shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options based on the treasury stock method. Potential
shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share to the extent their effect would be
antidilutive.
Earnings per share for fiscal years ended May 29,
2004, May 31, 2003 and May 25, 2002 were as follows:

Options to purchase an additional 4,015,952,
6,689,958 and 5,116,867 shares of common stock were outstanding at May 29, 2004, May 31, 2003 and May 25, 2002, respectively, but were not included in
the computation of diluted net earnings per share because their effect would be antidilutive.
The Company accounts for stock options according to
Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under APB Opinion No. 25, no
compensation expense is recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon issuance of employee stock options because the exercise
price of the options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Alternatively, under the fair value method of accounting
provided for by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-
47
Based Compensation,” the measurement of compensation cost is based on the fair
value of employee stock options at the grant date and requires the use of option pricing models to value the options. The weighted average estimated
fair value of options granted during fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $9.72, $5.87 and $12.26 per share, respectively.

earnings per share from calculating stock-related compensation cost consistent with the fair value alternative of SFAS No. 123 is indicated

SFAS No. 123 Assumptions
The fair values of options were estimated as of the
date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for the fiscal years ended May 29, 2004, May

During fiscal year 2003, the Company reevaluated its
methodology for estimating the volatility assumption. This resulted in a method that more appropriately considers the impact of past trends that could
be expected in the future. The Company will use this revised method on a prospective basis.
5. Sony/Tektronix Redemption
Prior to September 30, 2002, Tektronix and Sony Corporation (“Sony”) were
equal owners of Sony/Tektronix Corporation (“Sony/Tektronix”), a joint venture originally established to distribute Tektronix products in
Japan. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Company acquired from Sony its 50% interest in Sony/Tektronix
through redemption of Sony’s shares by Sony/Tektronix for 8 billion Yen (“Sony/Tektronix Acquisition”), or approximately $65.7 million
at September 30, 2002. This transaction closed on September 30, 2002, at which time the Company obtained 100% ownership of Sony/Tektronix. This
transaction is a long-term strategic investment that will provide the Company stronger access to the Japanese market and the ability to leverage the
engineering resources in Japan. Prior to the redemption, the Company accounted for its investment in Sony/Tektronix under the equity method. Prior to
the close of this transaction, the Sony/Tektronix entity entered into an agreement to borrow up to 9 billion Yen, or approximately $73.9 million at an
interest rate of 1.75% above the Tokyo Inter Bank Offering Rate (“TIBOR”). Sony/Tektronix used $53.1 million of this credit facility to fund
a portion of the redemption of shares from Sony and the remainder was available for operating capital for this Japan subsidiary. The transaction was
accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, beginning on the date of acquisition the results of operations, financial position
and cash flows of Sony/Tektronix were consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

During fiscal year 2004, the Company incurred $5.0
million in costs specifically associated with integrating the operations of this subsidiary. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company
offered voluntary retention bonuses to certain employees in Gotemba, Japan as an incentive to remain with the Company through August 2005 while the
Company completes its plan to transition manufacturing operations to other locations. Accordingly, the Company will recognize a liability for retention
bonuses for 48 employees of approximately $3.7 million ratably through August 2005. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company
recognized an expense of $0.6 million for the retention bonuses, which are included in Acquisition related (credits) costs, net on the Consolidated
Statements of Operations. During fiscal year 2003, subsequent to the close of the acquisition, the Company incurred $3.5 million in transition costs
associated with integrating the operations of this subsidiary. These costs are included in Acquisition related (credits) costs, net on the Consolidated
Statements of Operations. The Company also incurred severance costs of $11.2 million during fiscal year 2003 in Japan which are discussed further in Note 7.
During fiscal year 2004, the Company restructured
the Japan pension plans (see Note 27) and recorded a net gain from the restructuring of $36.7 million. Also during fiscal year 2004, the Company sold
property located in Shinagawa, Japan, which resulted in a net gain of $22.5 million and the Company additionally recognized an impairment loss of $3.1
million on assets held for sale located in Gotemba, Japan. The sale and impairment are discussed in more detail in Note 11. These net gains and losses
are included in Acquisition related (credits) costs, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
After the sale of the property in Shinagawa, Japan
described above, the Company repaid 6.5 billion Yen or approximately $60.9 million of the outstanding principal on the TIBOR+1.75% debt facility during
fiscal year 2004. This facility was terminated on May 28, 2004.

Sale of Color Printing and
Imaging
On
January 1, 2000, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of the Color
Printing and Imaging division (“CPID”). The Company accounted for CPID
as a discontinued operation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
(“APB”) Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations
– Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.”
The sales price was $925.0 million in cash, with certain liabilities of the
division assumed by the purchaser. During fiscal year 2000, the Company recorded a net
gain of $340.3 million on this sale. The net gain was calculated as the excess
of the proceeds received over the net book value of the assets transferred,
$198.5 million in income tax expense, $60.0 million of contingencies related to
the sale and $14.4 million in transaction and related costs.
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5
“Accounting for Contingencies”, it is the Company’s policy to
defer recognition of a gain where it is believed that contingencies exist that
may result in that gain being recognized prior to realization. The Company
analyzes the amount of deferred gain in relation to outstanding contingencies,
and recognizes additional gain when persuasive objective evidence indicates that
such contingencies are believed to be resolved. With regard to the contingencies
associated with the sale of CPID, persuasive objective evidence includes a)
legal determinations resulting in the resolution of contingencies, including
lapse of claim periods defined in the final sale agreement, b) the resolution of
claims made by the purchaser, c) evidence that liabilities underlying current or
probable future claims have been resolved and d) interactions with the purchaser
on outstanding claims. The $60.0 million of contingencies represents the
deferral of a portion of the gain on sale that management of the Company
believed was not realizable due to certain contingencies contained in the final
sale agreement and approximated the amount that management believed was the
maximum exposure under the contingencies. The specific nature of these
contingencies was specified in the final sale agreement.
The
contingencies contained in the final sale agreement represented provisions
designed to protect the purchaser in disputes over the net assets included in
the closing balance sheet and breach of certain representations and warranties
by the Company. The Company viewed these exposures in terms of the following
categories: balance sheet arbitration, liabilities subject to indemnity, 18
month indemnity for breach of certain representations and warranties and a 36
month indemnity for breach of certain representations and warranties. The
Company’s estimate of the maximum contingency, including anticipated costs
and expenses to resolve these matters, was $60.0 million. This estimate was
based on certain limitations on purchase contingencies as defined in the final
sale agreement as well as the Company’s estimates of other exposures not
subject to these limitations. As the maximum exposure under these categories is
measured in the aggregate by the Company and as there
50
are many overlapping
provisions between these categories, the Company’s review of these
contingencies considered both the individual categories as well as the aggregate
remaining exposures.
Subsequent
to the close of the transaction, the Company and the purchaser entered into an
arbitration process to determine settlement of certain disputes regarding the
value of the net assets transferred at the closing date. This arbitration
process was provided to the purchaser under the terms of the final sale
agreement. This arbitration was resolved in the first quarter of fiscal year
2002, resulting in an $18.0 million payment by the Company to the purchaser.
This settlement directly reduced the $60.0 million previously deferred gain.
During
fiscal year 2003, the Company recognized $25.0 million of the previously
deferred gain as a result of the resolution of certain of the purchase
contingencies related to the sale, in accordance with the accounting policy
described above in this footnote. The $25.0 million of pre-tax gain was
recognized in Discontinued operations. Of the total $25.0 million recognized in
fiscal year 2003, $20.0 million was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal
year 2003. Persuasive objective evidence supporting the recognition of $20.0
million included a) the expiration of the 36 month deadline for certain claims
included in the final sale agreement, which passed without the receipt of claims
from the purchaser, b) analysis of exposures underlying pending claims
previously made by the purchaser, and c) the interactions with the purchaser
regarding these pending claims, which included the fact that significant time
had lapsed since the purchaser had pursued these claims. The Company recognized
an additional $5.0 million of pre-tax gain in Discontinued operations during the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 based on persuasive objective evidence that
certain previously identified exposures had been resolved without consequence to
the Company.
Other
payments and adjustments during fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003 reduced the
balance of the contingencies by $4.6 million. As of May 29, 2004 and May 31,
2003, the balance of the contingencies on sale related to the CPID disposition
was $10.4 million, a significant portion of which may take several years to
resolve. The continued deferral of this amount is associated with existing
exposures for which the Company believes adequate evidence of resolution has not
been obtained. The Company continues to monitor the status of the CPID related
contingencies based on information received. If unforeseen events or
circumstances arise subsequent to the balance sheet date, changes in the
estimate of these contingencies would occur. The Company, however, does not
expect such changes to be material to the financial statements.
Sale of VideoTele.com
On November 7, 2002, the Company completed the sale
of the VideoTele.com (“VT.c”) subsidiary. VT.c was sold to Tut Systems, Inc (“Tut”), a publicly traded company, for 3,283,597
shares of Tut common stock valued on the sale date at $4.2 million and a note receivable for $3.1 million due in November 2007. The common stock is
classified as an available-for-sale security and both the common stock and the note receivable are included in Other long-term assets in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company holds less than 20% of the outstanding common stock of Tut and does not have the ability to significantly
influence the operations of Tut. The note receivable accrues interest at an annual rate of 8%. As a result of this transaction, employees of VT.c on
the transaction date became employees of the post-merger entity at the time of the closing. The Company’s reason for divesting the VT.c business
was that the VT.c product offering was not consistent with Company’s strategy of focusing on the test, measurement and monitoring markets, which
ultimately resulted in the sale of this business to Tut. The sale of VT.c has been accounted for as a discontinued operation in accordance with SFAS
No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Accordingly, the results of VT.c operations prior to the transaction date, and the
loss on this sale, have been excluded from continuing operations and recorded as discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
Sale of Optical Parametric Test
Business
The optical parametric test business was acquired in
April 2002 for $23.2 million. The purchase included $2.0 million of intangible assets, $4.3 million of other net assets and $16.9 million of goodwill.
The optical parametric test business was a technology innovator in optical test and measurement components. During the third quarter of fiscal year
2003, management approved and initiated an active plan for the sale of its optical parametric test business. This business was accounted for as a
discontinued operation in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Accordingly, the results of operations of the optical parametric test business have been
excluded from
51
continuing operations and recorded as discontinued operations. The net carrying value of assets, primarily goodwill and other intangible
assets, were adjusted to estimated selling price less costs to sell which resulted in a $15.3 million write-down, net of income tax benefit of $8.4
million, included in loss on sale of the optical parametric test business in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. The market for optical parametric
test equipment was dramatically affected by the economic conditions that negatively impacted many technology sectors, which began in the second half of
fiscal year 2001 and continued into fiscal year 2003 (see additional discussion under the Economic Conditions section in Results of Operations in
Management’s Discussion and Analysis). The reduction in the value of the optical parametric test business during the period it was owned by the
Company was a direct result of the impact of these economic conditions. On May 27, 2003, the Company sold its optical parametric test business for $1.0
million. The Company recognized an additional loss on the sale of $1.7 million, net of income tax benefit of $0.9 million, in the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2003. Loss from discontinued operations during the current fiscal year includes an additional net loss from the sale of the optical
parametric test business due to settlement of additional costs arising after the sale.
Sale of Gage Applied
Sciences
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003,
management of the Company approved and initiated an active plan for the sale of Gage Applied Sciences (“Gage”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company. Gage, located in Montreal, Canada, produced PC-based instruments products. The divestiture of this entity was consistent with the
Company’s strategy of concentrating its resources in core product areas and de-emphasizing products which are determined to be less strategic.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company sold the operations of Gage to a third party. This business has been accounted for as a
discontinued operation in accordance with SFAS No. 144. The Company recorded an after-tax loss of $0.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal year
2004 to reflect adjustments to the previously estimated after-tax loss of $2.2 million on the disposition of this discontinued operation which was
recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 to write-down the net assets, primarily goodwill, of Gage to net realizable value less estimated
selling costs.
7. Business Realignment Costs
Business realignment costs represent actions to
realign the Company’s cost structure in response to significant events and primarily include restructuring actions and impairment of assets
resulting from reduced business levels. Business realignment actions taken during fiscal year 2004 and in fiscal years 2002 and 2003 were intended to
reduce the Company’s worldwide cost structure across all major functions in response to the dramatic economic decline, which severely impacted
markets into which the Company sells its products. Major operations impacted include manufacturing, engineering, sales, marketing and administrative
functions. In addition to severance, the Company incurred other costs associated with restructuring its organization, which primarily represented
facilities contracts and other exit costs associated with aligning the cost structure to appropriate levels. The Company anticipates that the actions
taken have or will result in reduced operating costs in periods following the period in which the costs were incurred, primarily through reductions in labor costs. Management believes that the restructuring
actions implemented in fiscal years 2002 and 2003 and during fiscal year 2004 have resulted in the costs savings anticipated for those
actions.
Costs incurred during fiscal year 2004 primarily
related to restructuring actions planned by the Company during fiscal year 2003, which were executed in fiscal year 2004. Many of the restructuring
actions planned by the Company take significant time to execute, particularly if they are being
conducted in countries outside the United States. The Company anticipates significantly lower levels of business realignment costs during fiscal year
2005, as most of the previously planned actions have been executed.
Business realignment costs of $22.8 million during
fiscal year 2004 included $16.7 million of severance related costs for 274 employees mostly located in Europe and adjustments to estimates in prior
years, $2.6 million for accumulated currency translation losses, net, related to the substantial closure of subsidiaries in Brazil, Australia and
Denmark and a surplus facility in China, $1.9 million for contractual obligations for leased facilities in Europe and the United States, and $1.6
million for accelerated depreciation and write-down of assets in Europe and the United States. Expected future annual salary cost savings from actions
taken during fiscal year 2004 to reduce employee headcount are estimated to be $14.7 million. At May 29, 2004, remaining
52
liabilities of $5.3 million,
$0.3 million and $0.2 million for employee severance and related benefits for actions taken in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were
maintained for 117, 3 and 2 employees, respectively.
The Company incurred $34.6 million of business
realignment costs in fiscal year 2003 for employee severance, impairment of an intangible asset, a facility lease obligation and closure of other
facilities. The Company incurred $26.5 million of severance and related costs for the termination of 524 employees resulting from actions to align the
Company’s cost structure with the reduced sales levels resulting from the recent economic conditions discussed above and adjustments to estimates
in prior years. These severance costs included $11.2 million for 155 former employees of Tektronix Japan and $3.3 million for pension curtailment and
settlement losses for the employees terminated in Japan. The closure of certain foreign and domestic operations resulted in credits totaling $1.3
million for accumulated translation gains and $0.3 million primarily for other asset write-downs and contractual obligations.
An impairment charge of $9.1 million was recognized
for an intangible asset for acquired Bluetooth technology. The impairment of this intangible asset was due to the Company’s decision to limit
investment into the development of products that utilize this technology. During the first half of fiscal year 2003, the Company formed the opinion
that the market potential for test and measurement products in the Bluetooth area did not warrant significant investment relative to other product
investment opportunities available to the Company. The impairment was determined using the present value of estimated cash flows related to the
asset.
The Company had previously accrued certain
liabilities related to actions in fiscal year 2002 intended to reduce the operating costs associated with the design, production and sale of the
optical transmission test products. As a result of the sale of certain assets related to these products to Digital Lightwave, Inc. (“DLI”),
certain of these liabilities were expected to be mitigated and accordingly, the Company reversed $2.0 million of previously accrued expenses as a
reduction to business realignment costs in the second quarter of fiscal year 2003. Due to significant deterioration of their financial condition, it
appeared probable that DLI would not fulfill its lease obligation, which it assumed from the Company. The Company terminated the agreement with DLI and
leased the facility to another sub-lessee. Accordingly, the Company accrued $2.0 million during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2003,
which represented the estimated shortfall under the current sublease agreement.
During fiscal year 2002, business realignment costs
of $27.0 million included $20.9 million of severance related costs for 592 employees worldwide across all major functions, $3.9 million for contractual
obligations, including $3.1 million for lease cancellations and $0.8 million for termination of a service contract in India, $0.9 million for write-off
of leasehold improvements and other assets and $2.7 million of accumulated currency translation losses related to substantial closure of subsidiaries
in Argentina and Australia, offset by a reversal of $1.4 million primarily for the favorable settlement of various office leases.

The Company reviews investments in debt and equity
securities for other than temporary impairment whenever the fair value of an investment is less than amortized cost and evidence indicates that an
investment’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. In the evaluation of whether an impairment is
other-than-temporary, the Company considers its ability and intent to hold the investment until the market price recovers, the reasons for the
impairment, compliance with the Company’s investment policy, the severity and duration of the impairment and expected future performance. Based on
this evaluation, no impairment was considered to be other-than-temporary. The following table presents the gross unrealized losses on, and estimated
fair value of, the Company’s short-term and long-term marketable investments, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual
investments have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at May 29, 2004:

During fiscal year 2004, the Company sold 400,000
shares of common stock of Merix Corporation (“Merix”) in connection with a public offering by Merix. Net proceeds from the sale were $9.5
million, which resulted in a net realized gain of $7.3 million.
9. Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and marketable investments. The risk is limited due to the
large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and investments, and their dispersion across many different industries and
geographies.
10. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
market. Cost is determined based on a currently-adjusted standard basis, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company
periodically reviews its inventory for obsolete or slow-moving items. Inventories consisted of the following at May 29, 2004 and May 31,

At May 29, 2004, total held-for-sale assets include
buildings and land located in Gotemba, Japan, which were acquired in the Sony/Tektronix redemption in fiscal year 2003, and a facility located in
Nevada City, California. During fiscal year 2004, the Company announced a plan to transfer manufacturing operations conducted in Japan to other
facilities and to market the land and buildings located in Gotemba, Japan. As such, these assets have been reclassified as held-for-sale. The impact of
foreign currency translation reduced held-for-sale assets in Gotemba and Shinagawa, Japan by $0.3 million during the fiscal year 2004. Management of
the Company anticipates that the Gotemba, Japan assets and the Nevada City facility will be sold within one year.
Impairment of Property in Gotemba,
Japan
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, the
Company reduced the net book value of the assets in its manufacturing facility in Gotemba, Japan, of $11.6 million to the estimated fair market value
of $8.5 million, net of estimated selling costs, in accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets”. As a result, an impairment loss of $3.1 million was recorded during fiscal year 2004 and is included in Acquisition related (credits)
costs, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
57
Sale of Property in Shinagawa,
Japan
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, the
Company sold property classified as held-for-sale located in Shinagawa, Japan with a net book value of $23.5 million for 5.2 billion Yen or
approximately $47.2 million, resulting in net proceeds of $46.0 million and the recognition of a net gain of $22.5 million which is included in
Acquisition related (credits) costs, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, the
Company reclassified approximately $11.6 million of property and equipment at net book value located in Gotemba, Japan, to assets held-for-sale, which
are included in Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As discussed in Note 11, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $3.1
million to reduce the net book value of assets to estimated fair value of $8.5 million, which was net of estimated selling costs.
13. Goodwill, Net
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible
assets in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”
Accordingly, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill from acquisitions, but continues to amortize other acquisition-related intangibles and
costs.
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment
analysis during the second quarter of fiscal year 2004 and identified no impairment. The impairment review is based on a discounted cash flow approach
that uses estimates of future market share and revenues and costs for the reporting units as well as appropriate discount rates. The estimates used are
consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company uses to manage the underlying businesses. However, if the Company fails to deliver new
products for these groups, if the products fail to gain expected market acceptance, or if market conditions in the related businesses are unfavorable,
revenue and cost forecasts may not be achieved, and the Company may incur charges for impairment of goodwill. Goodwill that was included in assets of
discontinued operations and related impairment charges are discussed in Note 6.
Changes in goodwill, net, for continuing operations
during fiscal years ended May 29, 2004 and May 31, 2003 were as follows:

Contingencies
As of May 29, 2004, the Company had $19.8 million of
contingencies recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, which included $10.4 million of contingencies
relating to the sale of CPID as discussed in Note 6, $3.5 million for environmental exposures and $5.9 million for other contingent liabilities. It is
reasonably possible that management’s estimates of these contingencies could change in the near term and that such changes could be material to
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The $3.5 million for environmental exposure is
specifically associated with the closure and cleanup of a licensed hazardous waste management facility at the Company’s Beaverton, Oregon campus.
The Company established the initial liability in 1998 and bases ongoing estimates on currently available facts and presently enacted laws and
regulations. Costs for tank removal and cleanup were incurred in fiscal year 2001. Costs currently being incurred primarily relate to ongoing
monitoring and testing of the site. Management’s best estimate of the range of remaining reasonably possible cost associated with this
environmental cleanup, testing
60
and monitoring could be as high as $10.0 million. Management believes that the
recorded liability represents the low end of the range. These costs are estimated to be incurred over the next several years.
The remaining $5.9 million includes amounts related
to intellectual property and employment issues, as well as amounts related to dispositions of assets other than CPID. If events or circumstances arise
that are unforeseen to the Company as of the balance sheet date, actual costs could differ materially from this estimate.
In the normal course of business, the Company and
its subsidiaries are parties to various legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving patent infringement and other intellectual
property claims and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company and its subsidiaries will ultimately
be successful in any of these legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. However, the Company’s management does not expect that the
results of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash
flows.
19. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and accrued compensation, the carrying amount approximates the fair value because of the immediate
or short-term nature of those instruments. Marketable investments are recorded at their fair value based on quoted market prices.
The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based
on quoted market prices for similar instruments or by discounting expected cash flows at rates currently available to the Company for instruments with
similar risks and maturities. The following table summarizes the differences between the carrying amounts and fair values of debt:

The 2001 Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board
of Directors for the sole purpose of making grants to new non-officer employees who join the Company as a result of acquisitions, and grants are
limited to such non-officer employees. Options with a term of 10 years were granted at fair market value at the time of the grant. The terms of the
options are substantially the same as the options granted under plans approved by shareholders.

The Company also has plans for certain executives
and outside directors that provide stock-based compensation other than options. Under APB No. 25, compensation cost for these plans is measured based
on the market price of the stock at the date the terms of the award become fixed. Under the fair value approach of SFAS No. 123, compensation cost is
measured based on the market price of the stock at the grant date. There were 96,000, 68,275 and 3,155 shares granted under these plans during fiscal
years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair value of the shares granted under these plans during fiscal years 2004,
2003 and 2002 was $31.37, $18.43 and $21.12 per share, respectively. Compensation cost for these plans were $0.8 million, $0.9 million and $0.4 million
in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
During fiscal year 2001, the Company initiated the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). There were 1.5 million shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP, which became effective
January 1, 2001, allows substantially all regular employees to purchase shares of Tektronix common stock through payroll deductions of up to 10% of
eligible compensation. The price an employee pays for the stock is 85% of the market price at the beginning or end of the period, whichever is lower.
Plan periods are from January 15 to July 14 and July 15 to January 14. During fiscal years 2004 and 2003, employees purchased 300,780 and 366,172
shares, respectively, at an average price of $17.12 and $15.61 per share, respectively. At May 29, 2004, 547,781 shares of common stock were available
for future issuance under the ESPP. The average fair value in excess of the purchase price for ESPP shares purchased, as calculated under SFAS No. 123,
was $2.7 million, $1.1 million and $1.1 million in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
21. Shareholders’ Equity
Repurchase of common stock
On March 15, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized
the purchase of up to $550.0 million of the Company’s common stock on the open market or through negotiated transactions. This repurchase
authority allows the Company, at management’s discretion, to selectively repurchase its common stock from time to time in the open market or in
privately negotiated transactions depending on market price and other factors. The share repurchase authorization has no stated expiration date. During
fiscal years 2004 and 2003, the Company repurchased a total of 2.7 million and 6.2 million shares, respectively, at an average price per share of
$27.24 and $17.41, respectively, for $72.4 million and $108.4 million, respectively. As of May 29, 2004, the Company has repurchased a total of 17.1
million shares at an average price of $22.69 per share totaling $388.8 million under this authorization. The reacquired shares were immediately
retired, in accordance with Oregon corporate law.
Shareholder Rights Agreement
On June 21, 2000, the Board of Directors adopted a
new shareholder rights agreement to replace the 1990 agreement that expired by its terms in September 2000. To implement the new plan, the Board of
Directors declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding common share payable to shareholders of record on September 7, 2000. As a result of the
Company’s two-for-one stock split in October 2000, each outstanding
63
share of common stock and each share issued thereafter, including under the plans,
includes one-half of a right. Each right entitles the holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series B preferred shares at a purchase price
of $375, subject to adjustment. The rights become exercisable ten days after a person or group acquires, or commences a tender offer that would result
in, beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding common shares of the Company. Upon the occurrence of certain events described in the rights
agreement, each right entitles its holder to purchase common shares of the Company, or in certain circumstances common shares of the acquiring company,
or other property having a value of twice the right’s exercise price. However, rights that are beneficially owned by an acquiring person become
null and void. The rights may be redeemed at a price of $0.001 per right at any time before a person becomes an acquiring person, and any time after a
person becomes an acquiring person, the Company may exchange each right at a ratio of one common share, or one one-thousandth of a preferred share per
right. The rights expire on September 7, 2010.

22. Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk
Management
Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety
of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The financial exposures are monitored and managed by the Company
as an integral part of its overall risk management program. The Company’s risk management program seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects
that the volatility of the markets may have on its operating results. The Company maintains a foreign currency risk management strategy that uses
derivative instruments to protect its interests from unanticipated fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by volatility in currency exchange
rates. By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in exchange rates, the Company exposes itself to counterparty credit
risk. The Company manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with highly rated institutions that
can be expected to fully perform under the terms of the agreement.
Cash Flow Hedges
Cash flow hedges are hedges of anticipated
transactions or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability. The Company purchases foreign
exchange options and forward exchange contracts expiring within one year as hedges of anticipated purchases and sales that are denominated in foreign
currencies. These contracts are entered into to protect against the risk that the eventual cash flows resulting from such transactions will be
adversely affected by changes in exchange rates.
Net Investment Hedges
By maintaining equity investments in foreign
subsidiaries, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk related to such investments. The Company hedges its foreign currency risk related to
certain net investments in foreign subsidiaries through the use of intercompany lending agreements.
64
Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
Activities
All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet
at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective as—and that is designated and qualifies as—a
cash-flow hedge are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, until the underlying transactions occur at which time the gains or losses are
recorded in Net sales. As May 29, 2004 and May 31, 2003, the deferred net gain on derivative instruments in Accumulated other comprehensive net loss
was not significant. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that do not qualify as a hedge are recorded in current period earnings in Other expense,
net.
The Company formally documents all relationships
between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge items. This process
includes linking all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges to specific anticipated transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both
at the hedge’s inception and on an on-going basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in
offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (1) it is determined that a derivative
is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or
exercised or (3) the derivative is discontinued as a hedge instrument, because it is unlikely that an anticipated transaction will occur. If hedge
accounting is discontinued because it is probable that an anticipated transaction will not occur, the derivative will continue to be carried on the
balance sheet at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in Accumulated other comprehensive loss will be recognized immediately in
earnings. In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative will be carried at its fair value on the balance sheet,
with changes in its fair value recognized in current period earnings.
23. Business Segments
The Company’s revenue is derived principally
through the development and marketing of a range of test and measurement products in several operating segments that have similar economic
characteristics as well as similar customers, production processes and distribution methods. Accordingly, the Company reports as a single Measurement
segment. It is impractical to report net sales by product group.

The reconciliations above reflect permanent items
that impact the provisions. Items that increase provisions include state income taxes and various nondeductible expenses, whereas items that decrease
the provisions include the foreign sales corporation, extraterritorial income exclusion, various tax credits and reversals of prior years’
provisions.
The tax benefit of $1.8 million for fiscal year 2003
reflects a tax provision of approximately $10.7 million on continuing operations, at an effective rate of 32%, offset by a tax benefit of $12.5 million
resulting from the favorable settlement of IRS audits in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 for the Company’s fiscal years 1998, 1999, and
2000.
Tax benefits of $7.0 million, $0.5 million and $0.8
million associated with the exercise of employee stock options were allocated to common stock in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
Net deferred tax assets and liabilities are included

At May 29, 2004, there were $22.2 million of unused
foreign tax credit carryovers which, if not used, will expire between 2004 and 2008. The Company has placed a valuation allowance against these credits
in the amount of $22.2 million. In addition, at May 29, 2004, there were $8.4 million of general business credits and alternative minimum tax credits,
which can be carried forward into the future. In addition, there were $47.6 million of international net operating losses that existed at May 29, 2004,
with a tax value of $8.6 million. The Company has a valuation allowance in place against these other credits and net operating losses in the amount of
$1.0 million.
The Company maintains reserves for estimated tax
exposures in jurisdictions of operation. These tax jurisdictions include federal, state and various international tax jurisdictions. Significant income
tax exposures include potential challenges of research and experimentation credits, export-related tax benefits, disposition transactions and
intercompany pricing. Exposures are settled primarily through the settlement of audits within these tax jurisdictions, but can also be affected by
changes in applicable tax law or other factors, which could cause management of the Company to believe a revision of past estimates is appropriate.
During fiscal year 2004, the estimate of prior years’ exposures was reduced by $6.3 million. The reduction was related to the closure of various
international and state tax audits during the year and also included a reduction based on management’s judgment with respect to the expected
results of various tax audits currently in progress. Management believes that an appropriate liability has been established for estimated exposures;
however, actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
27. Benefit Plans
Pension and postretirement benefit
plans
Tektronix sponsors one IRS-qualified defined benefit
plan, the Tektronix Cash Balance Plan, and one non-qualified defined benefit plan, the Retirement Equalization Plan, for eligible employees in the
United States. The Company also sponsors defined benefit pension plans in Germany, the United Kingdom, Holland and Taiwan. During the second quarter of
fiscal year 2004, the Company restructured its pension plans in Japan as discussed below. Effective August 1, 2004, the U.S. Cash Balance Plan will not
be offered to new employees hired after July 31, 2004. The Company also provides postretirement life insurance benefits to all current employees and
provides certain retired and active employees with postretirement health care benefits. The pension plans have a fiscal year end measurement
date.

At May 29, 2004 and May 31, 2003, the Company’s
accumulated benefit obligation exceeded the fair value of plan assets for certain pension plans. The cumulative pre-tax charge of $281.6 million at May
29, 2004 is recorded net of deferred tax assets of $107.9 million in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in accordance with SFAS No. 87,
“Employers’ Accounting for Pensions.” The cumulative pre-tax charge decreased by $23.6 million during fiscal year 2004 which resulted in
an after-tax credit to equity in Accumulated other comprehensive loss of $13.9 million, net of $9.7 million reversal of deferred tax assets. In fiscal
year 2003, the cumulative pre-tax charge increased by $156.4 million, which resulted in an after-tax charge to equity in Accumulated other
comprehensive loss of $96.0 million, net of $60.6 million of deferred tax assets.
The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined
benefit pension plans was $652.5 million and $743.9 million at May 29, 2004 and May 31, 2003, respectively. The projected benefit obligation,
accumulated benefit obligation, and fair value of plan assets for certain plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan
69
assets were $622.9 million, $614.8 million, and $440.4 million, respectively, for
fiscal year 2004 and $737.1 million, $708.8 million, and $437.5 million, respectively, for fiscal year 2003.
Subsequent to the current fiscal year, the Company
made a voluntary contribution of $46.5 million to the U.S. cash balance plan in June 2004, which represents the expected funding for fiscal year

Assumed discount rates are used in measurements of
the projected, accumulated, and vested benefit obligations and the service and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost. Management makes
estimates of discount rates to reflect the rates at which the pension benefits could be effectively settled. In making those estimates, management
evaluates rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of
the pension benefits.
The expected long-term return on plan assets
assumption is based on a detailed analysis conducted by the Company’s treasury group and external actuarial and asset management consultants. The
analysis includes a review of the asset allocation strategy, projected future long-term performance of individual asset classes, risks (standard
deviations) and correlations for each of the asset classes that comprise the plans’ asset mix. While the analysis gives appropriate consideration
to recent asset performance and actual returns in the past, the assumption is primarily an estimated long-term, prospective rate.
The Company maintains an insured indemnity health
plan for retirees. The assumed health care cost trend rates used to measure the expected cost of benefits under the indemnity and HMO plans were
assumed to increase by 9.3% and 14.0%, respectively, for participants under the age of 65 and 9.5% and 15.0%, respectively, for participants age 65 and
over in fiscal year 2004. Thereafter, the rates of both plans were assumed to gradually decrease until they reach 5.3% for participants under the age
of 65 and 5.5% for those over 65 in 2010. A 1.0% change in these assumptions would not have a material effect on either the postretirement benefit
obligation at May 29, 2004 or the benefit credit reported for fiscal year 2004.
Restructuring of Pension Plans in
Japan
Effective September 30, 2003, the Company
substantially settled its liability for the existing defined benefit pension plans in Japan and established new plans to provide retirement benefits to
Japan employees. The settlement and curtailment of the existing defined benefit plans were made in accordance with the applicable plan provisions and
local statutory requirements. The Company has established a defined contribution plan as the principal plan to provide retirement benefits to employees
in Japan. Local regulations limit the benefit that the Company can provide to an individual employee through use of a defined contribution plan. To the
extent the Company provides retirement benefits to an individual in an amount greater than that allowed, the excess will be reflected as a benefit in a
newly created defined benefit pension plan. As the amount of statutory limit for benefits under the defined contribution plan increases, benefits
provided through the defined benefit component will decrease. The impact of the settlement and curtailment of the existing defined benefit plans and
initial funding of the new defined contribution plan was as follows:

The increase of $3.9 million for the new defined
contribution plan, was necessary to adjust the initial liability for future funding of the new defined contribution plan to $21.0 million effective
September 30, 2003. As of May 29, 2004, the balance of this funding commitment was $14.6 million, which will be paid in annual installments through
February 2011.
Employee savings plan
The Company has an employee savings plan that
qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participating U.S. employees may defer up to 50% of their
compensation, subject to certain regulatory limitations. Employee contributions are invested, at the employees’ direction, among a variety of
investment alternatives. The Company’s matching contribution is 4% of compensation and may be invested in any one of the 401(k) plan funds. In
addition, the Company contributes Company stock to the plan for all eligible employees equal to 2% of compensation. The Company’s total
contributions were approximately $9.2 million in fiscal year 2004, $9.7 million in fiscal year 2003 and $9.7 million in fiscal year
2002.
28. Subsequent Events
Declaration of Dividends
On June 24, 2004, the Board of Directors declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share. The dividend was paid on July 26, 2004 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 9,
2004.
Agreement to acquire Inet Technologies,
Inc.
Subsequent to fiscal year 2004, the Company and Inet
Technologies, Inc. (“Inet”) announced on June 29, 2004 that they have signed a definitive agreement for Tektronix to acquire Inet, a leading
global provider of communications software solutions that enable network operators to more strategically and profitably operate their businesses.
Inet’s products address next-generation networks, including 2.5G and 3G mobile data and voice-over-packet (also referred to as voice over Internet
protocol or VoIP) technologies, and traditional networks.
Tektronix will acquire all of Inet’s
outstanding stock for approximately $12.50 per share consisting of $6.25 per share in cash and approximately $6.25 per share in Tektronix’ common
stock. The stock portion of the consideration is subject to a 10 percent collar. The midpoint of the 10 percent collar is $31.66 per share, which
represents the average closing price of Tektronix’ common stock during the 10 trading days prior to the announcement of the transaction on June
29, 2004. Since the number of shares of Tektronix’ common stock to be issued will not be known until shortly before the completion of the
transaction, the measurement date for the valuation of the shares of Tektronix’ common stock, for accounting purposes, has not yet been
determined. As of March 31, 2004, Inet had approximately 39.2 million shares of common stock outstanding. The transaction, which has been approved by
both companies’ Boards of Directors, is subject to customary closing conditions, including Inet stockholder approval and certain regulatory
approvals. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. On July 16, 2004, Tektronix filed a Form S-4 with the
SEC which provides additional information on this proposed transaction. The Form S-4 has not yet been declared effective by the SEC and is subject to
completion based on the SEC’s review.
