See notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. Page 4 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Note A: BASIS OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of The BFGoodrich Company ("BFGoodrich" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the year ending December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. The Company adopted the provisions of SOP 98-5 - Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities during the first quarter of 1999. Adoption of the SOP did not have a material impact on the Company's earnings or financial position. Note B: MERGER- On July 12, 1999, the Company completed its merger with Coltec Industries Inc ("Coltec"). The merger will be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. As a result of the merger, Coltec became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the merger, each share of Coltec common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.56 shares of BFGoodrich common stock, or 35.5 million shares of BFGoodrich common stock. In addition, the Company issued options to purchase 3.0 million shares of BFGoodrich common stock in exchange for options to purchase Coltec common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger. These options vest and become exercisable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the original Coltec options. Also, the holders of Coltec's 5 1/4% Convertible Preferred Securities received the right to convert each such convertible preferred security into 0.955248 of a share of BFGoodrich common stock, subject to certain adjustments. Since the merger was not consummated as of June 30, 1999, the results of Coltec have not been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma combined financial data is presented for informational purposes only. They are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or of the financial position which would have occurred had the merger been completed during the periods or as of the date for which the pro forma data are presented. They are also not necessarily indicative of the Company's future results of operations or financial position. In particular, the Company expects to realize significant operating cost savings as a result of the merger. No adjustment has been included in the pro forma combined financial data for these anticipated operating cost savings nor for the one-time merger and consolidation costs expected to be incurred upon consummation of the merger. 5 The Company is still in the process of reviewing the respective accounting policies of the two companies to determine if they are consistent or if they need to be conformed. As a result of this review, the historical financial statements may need to be restated to conform to those accounting policies that are most appropriate. No restatements of prior periods have been included in the unaudited pro forma combined financial data below. Pro forma per share amounts for the combined company are based on the exchange ratio of 0.56 of a share of BFGoodrich common stock for each share of Coltec common stock.

At June 30, 1999 ----------- Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet Data: Total assets $5,553.6 Total shareholders' equity $1,423.6 Book value per common share $ 12.93 Note C: MERGER RELATED AND CONSOLIDATION COSTS - During the second quarter of 1999 the Company recorded merger related and consolidation costs of $10.1 million. These costs related primarily to certain executive severance payments that were no longer contingent on the merger and employee relocation costs. Merger related and consolidation costs of $26.2 million were also recorded during the first quarter of 1999. These costs relate to employee termination payments resulting from realignment of the Performance Materials Segment headquarters (approximately 140 positions) and the Company's Advanced Technology Group (approximately 15 positions) as well as from reductions at certain Performance Materials operating locations (approximately 40 positions). Approximately $18.7 million was paid during the second quarter. 6 Note D: ACQUISITIONS - In May 1999, the Company's Aerospace segment purchased the remaining 50 percent interest in a joint venture it did not own. The joint venture, located in Singapore, overhauls and repairs thrust reversers, nacelles and nacelle components. The preliminary purchase price of $11.5 million includes approximately $6 million of goodwill. Results for the year have been included on a consolidated basis with corresponding adjustments being made to equity income and minority interests, both of which are included in other income. Goodwill is being amortized using the straight-line method over 20 years. In March 1999 the Company's Performance Materials segment acquired a textile coatings business. The preliminary purchase price of $19.6 million includes approximately $11 million of goodwill. The purchase price allocation has been based on preliminary estimates. Goodwill is being amortized using the straight-line method over 20 years. Also, in March 1999, the Company's Aerospace segment acquired a developer of micro-electromechanical systems, which integrate electrical and mechanical components to form "smart" sensing and control devices. The preliminary purchase price of $12.0 million includes approximately $9 million of goodwill. The purchase agreement provides for additional consideration to be paid over the next six years based on a percentage of net sales. The additional consideration for the first five years, however, is guaranteed not to be less than $3.5 million. As the $3.5 million of additional consideration is not contingent on future events, it has been included in the $12.0 million purchase price noted above. All additional contingent amounts payable under the purchase agreement will be recorded as additional purchase price when earned and amortized over the remaining life of the goodwill. Goodwill is being amortized using the straight-line method over 15 years. In March 1998, the Company acquired Freedom Chemical Company ("Freedom Chemical"), a global manufacturer of specialty and fine chemicals that are sold to a variety of customers who use them to enhance the performance of their finished products, for approximately $378 million in cash. Goodwill is being amortized using the straight-line method over 20 years. 7 Note E: INVENTORIES - Inventories included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet consist of: (Dollars in millions) ------------------------------- June 30, December 31, 1999 1998 ----------- ------------- FIFO or average cost (which approximates current costs): Finished products $230.8 $236.0 In process 383.0 416.9 Raw materials and supplies 218.4 189.8 ------ ------ 832.2 842.7 Less: Reserve to reduce certain inventories to LIFO (52.2) (54.1) Progress payments and advances (40.3) (16.1) ------- ------- Total $739.7 $772.5 ======= ======= In-process inventories include significant deferred costs related to production, pre-production and excess-over-average costs for long-term contracts. The Company has pre-production inventory of $86.2 million related to design and development costs on the 717-200 program through June 30, 1999. In addition, the Company has excess-over-average inventory of $46.4 million related to costs associated with the production of the flight test inventory and the first production units. The Company anticipates spending approximately $2 million more for design and development through August 1999, the aircraft's scheduled Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") certification date. If the contract is cancelled prior to FAA certification, the Company expects substantial recovery of these costs. If the aircraft is certified and actively marketed, the recovery of these costs will depend upon the number of aircraft delivered. NOTE F: BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION - The Company's operations are classified into two reportable business segments: BFGoodrich Aerospace ("Aerospace") and BFGoodrich Performance Materials ("Performance Materials"). The Company's two reportable business segments are managed separately based on fundamental differences in their operations. Segment operating income is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses identifiable with that business segment. Corporate includes general corporate administrative costs and Advanced Technology Group research expenses. Merger related and consolidation costs are discussed in Note C of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluates performance primarily based on operating income. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. There are no intersegment sales. 8

BFGoodrich believes that any liability that may finally be determined with respect to commercial and product liability claims, should not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. From time to time, the Company is also involved in legal proceedings as a plaintiff involving contract, patent protection, environmental and other matters. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized. The Company and its subsidiaries are generators of both hazardous wastes and non-hazardous wastes, the treatment, storage, transportation and disposal of which are subject to various laws and governmental regulations. Although past operations were in substantial compliance with the then-applicable regulations, the Company has been designated as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") in connection with approximately 47 sites. The Company believes it may have continuing liability with respect to not more than 21 of these federal sites. The Company initiates corrective and/or preventive environmental projects of its own to ensure safe and lawful activities at its current operations. It also conducts a compliance and management systems audit program. The Company believes that compliance with current governmental regulations will not have a material adverse effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. The Company's environmental engineers and consultants review and monitor environmental issues at past and existing operating sites, as well as off-site disposal sites at which the Company has been identified as a PRP. This process includes investigation and remedial selection and implementation, as well as negotiations with other PRPs and governmental agencies. At June 30, 1999, the Company has recorded in Accrued expenses and in Other Non-current Liabilities a total of $56.1 million to cover future environmental expenditures, principally for remediation of the aforementioned sites and other environmental matters. The Company believes that it has adequately reserved for all of the above sites based on currently available information. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that additional costs may be incurred beyond the amounts accrued as a result of new information. However, the amounts, if any, cannot be estimated and management believes that they would not be material to the Company's financial condition but could be material to the Company's results of operations in a given period. 11 Note J: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - During the 1998 first quarter, the Company recognized a $1.6 million after-tax charge related to a business previously divested and reported as a discontinued operation. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ---------------------------------- MERGER - ------ On July 12, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Coltec Industries Inc ("Coltec") pursuant to a merger accounted for as a pooling of interests. As a result of the merger, Coltec became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the merger, each share of Coltec common stock was exchanged for 0.56 shares of BFGoodrich common stock. Since the merger was not consummated as of June 30, 1999, the results of Coltec are not included in the accompanying analysis of the Company's financial position and results of operations. The Company has identified merger related and consolidation costs of approximately $200 million that will be recorded during the third quarter. The Company expects to pay most of this amount during the third quarter as well. These costs consist primarily of personnel related items (severance and change in control benefits), costs associated with the consolidation of headquarters facilities, litigation settlement costs and other merger related transaction expenses. The Company also expects to incur additional merger related and consolidation costs in future quarters related to the reorganization of operating facilities and for the relocation of personnel, some of which will most likely be recorded during the third quarter in addition to the $200 million of costs currently identified and noted above. The Company expects to achieve costs savings of up to $60 million per year by 2002. TOTAL COMPANY - ------------- SECOND QUARTER OF 1999 COMPARED WITH SECOND QUARTER OF 1998 Sales during the quarter ended June 30, 1999, increased by $70.7 million, or 7.0 percent, over sales during the same period last year. Sales increased by 15 percent for Aerospace and decreased by 9 percent for Performance Materials as compared to the 1998 second quarter. The reasons for these fluctuations as compared to last year are discussed by segment below. Cost of sales as a percent of sales decreased from 72.5 percent in 1998 to 71.9 percent in 1999. The decrease is a result of the Company's efforts to improve productivity and to lower manufacturing and material costs. 12 Selling and administrative costs as a percent of sales decreased from 15.9 percent in 1998 to 15.5 percent in 1999. This is due primarily to higher sales volumes with only a slight increase in spending. Merger related and consolidation costs of $10.1 million were recorded during the second quarter of 1999. These costs relate primarily to severance benefits to certain executives that were no longer contingent on the merger and employee relocation costs incurred during the quarter Excluding merger related and consolidation costs, operating income increased $20.2 million, or 17.2 percent, from $117.4 million in 1998 to $137.6 million in 1999. Operating income increased by $18.0 million in the Aerospace Segment and by $2.8 million in the Performance Materials Segment. Operating income by segment is discussed in greater detail below. Interest expense-net decreased $0.4 million from $20.4 million in 1998 to $20.0 million in 1999. Other expense-net increased $4.1 million from $1.7 million in the second quarter of 1998 to $5.8 million in the first quarter of 1999. Included within the 1998 first quarter amount was approximately $4 million of income related to the final settlement of Company owned life insurance policies that had been previously terminated. The Company's effective tax rate decreased from 38.5 percent to 37.0 percent, quarter to quarter. The reduced effective tax rate between quarters is primarily due to expected additional benefits from the Company's foreign, state and local tax planning during 1999. FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1999 COMPARED WITH FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1998 Sales during the first six months of 1999 increased by $168.6 million, or 9 percent, over sales during the same period last year. Sales increased by 11.1 percent for Aerospace and 3.0 percent for Performance Materials as compared to 1998. The reasons for these increases are discussed by segment below. Cost of sales as a percent of sales decreased from 72.7 percent in 1998 to 71.7 percent in 1999. The decrease is a result of the Company's efforts to improve productivity and to lower manufacturing and material costs. Selling and administrative costs as a percent of sales remained at 15.6 percent for each of the periods. Merger related and consolidation costs of $36.3 million were recorded during the first six months of 1999. Of these costs, $10.1 million was incurred in the second quarter and is described above. The remaining $26.2 million was recorded during the first quarter and relates to employee termination payments resulting from realignment of the Performance Materials Segment headquarters (approximately 140 positions) and the Company's Advanced Technology Group (approximately 15 positions) as well as from reductions at certain Performance Materials operating locations (approximately 40 positions). Approximately $18.7 million was paid during the second quarter. The Company expects annualized savings of approximately $15.0 million from these actions, of which approximately $7.0 million is expected to be realized during the second half of this year. 13 Excluding merger related and consolidation costs, operating income increased $40.6 million, or 17.8 percent, from $228.1 million in 1998 to $268.7 million in 1999. Operating income increased by $42.3 million in the Aerospace Segment and decreased slightly in the Performance Materials Segment ($0.6 million). Operating income by segment is discussed in greater detail below. Interest expense-net increased $7.4 million, or 22.2 percent, from $33.3 million in 1998 to $40.7 million in 1999. Most of this increase is due to increased indebtedness that resulted from the purchase of Freedom Chemical late in March 1998 as well as from subsequent acquisitions to date. Other expense-net increased $0.5 million from $7.2 million in the first six months of 1998 to $7.7 million in the first six months of 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to the gain on the sale of the Company's remaining interest in DTM during the first quarter of 1999 ($3.2 million) that reduced other expense-net, as compared to the income recorded in 1998 related to terminated Company-owned life insurance policies ($4.0 million) that resulted in a greater reduction in other expense-net than was experienced in 1999. The Company's effective tax rate decreased from 38.5 percent to 37.0 percent, period to period. The reduced effective tax rate between periods is primarily due to expected additional benefits from the Company's foreign, state and local tax planning during 1999. The Company recognized a $1.6 million after-tax charge during the first quarter of 1998 related to a business previously divested and reported as a discontinued operation. 14 BUSINESS SEGMENT PERFORMANCE - ----------------------------

The Company's operations are classified into two reportable business segments: BFGoodrich Aerospace ("Aerospace") and BFGoodrich Performance Materials ("Performance Materials"). Aerospace consists of four business groups: Aerostructures; Landing Systems; Sensors and Integrated Systems; and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul ("MRO"). They serve commercial, military, regional, business and general aviation markets. Performance Materials consists of three business groups: Textile and Coatings Solutions; Polymer Additives and Specialty Plastics; and Consumer Specialties. These groups provide materials for a wide range of end use market applications including textiles, coatings, food & beverage, personal care, pharmaceuticals, graphic arts, industrial piping, plumbing and transportation. The Performance Materials Segment was previously reported as the Specialty Chemicals Segment consisting of two groups: Specialty Additives and Specialty Plastics. Last year, the Company reorganized this segment into the three groups noted above and renamed the segment. Previously reported amounts for the segment have been reclassified into the three groups noted above. Corporate includes general corporate administrative costs and Advanced Technology Group research expenses. Segment operating income is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses directly identifiable with that business segment. Merger related and consolidation costs are presented separately and are discussed above (see "Merger" discussion). 15 An expanded analysis of sales and operating income by business segment follows.

16 SECOND QUARTER 1999 COMPARED WITH SECOND QUARTER 1998 - ----------------------------------------------------- Sales of BFGoodrich Aerospace increased $100.6 million, or 15.0 percent, in the second quarter of 1999, from $670.1 million in the second quarter of 1998 to $770.7 million in the second quarter of 1999. Approximately $80 million of the increase related to increased volumes in each of the Segment's groups reflecting higher demand in most markets and the PW4000 settlement and approximately $20 million was from acquisitions. Aerospace operating income increased $18.0 million, or 19.8 percent, from $90.9 million during the second quarter of 1998 to $108.9 million for the 1999 second quarter. This growth principally reflects the impact of higher sales volumes, the PW4000 settlement and the mix between OEM sales and aftermarket sales. Aftermarket sales are generally more profitable than OEM sales. In recent months, Boeing, a significant customer, has made public announcements concerning expected reductions in its production of new commercial aircraft, particularly for the 747 program, commencing in the latter part of 1999. While, generally speaking, a downturn in OEM production has a negative impact on operating income, the Company believes that it will experience continued growth in demand for higher-margin aftermarket aerospace products and achieve improved operating margins from its MRO businesses. Aerostructures Group - --------------------- Sales for the second quarter of 1999 increased $40.8 million, or 14.4 percent, from $282.4 million in the second quarter of 1998 to $323.2 million in the second quarter of 1999. The increase resulted from the PW4000 settlement ($60 million), an increase in commercial aftermarket sales ($11 million), offset by reduced sales to commercial OEMs due to a scheduled slowdown ($31 million). Operating income for the Aerostructures Group in the second quarter of 1999 was $46.7 million compared with $43.3 million for the second quarter of 1998, a $3.4 million, or 7.9 percent increase. The increase is primarily due to increased aftermarket sales and settlement of the PW4000 claim. Landing Systems Group - ---------------------- Sales increased $21.8 million, or 15.2 percent, from $143.5 million in the 1998 second quarter to $165.3 million in the second quarter of 1999. The increase is attributable to higher volume ($15 million) and an acquisition that was made during the fourth quarter of 1998 ($7 million). The volume growth principally came from higher aftermarket demand for commercial and military landing gear components and wheels and brakes products. Operating income increased $8.4 million, or 51.5 percent, from $16.3 million in the 1998 second quarter to $24.7 million in the second quarter of 1999. This improvement largely reflects increased demand for landing gear and aftermarket demand for wheels and brakes products ($8 million). A favorable sales mix in addition to lower OEM sales incentives related to wheels and brakes products also contributed to the Group's higher operating income. Sensors and Integrated Systems Group - --------------------------------------- Sales increased $5.7 million, or 4.1 percent, from $139.8 million in the second quarter of 1998 to $145.5 million in the 1999 second quarter. This increase reflects higher volumes of sensors and avionics products and integrated fuel systems. 17 The Sensors and Integrated Systems Group's second quarter of 1999 operating income of $26.2 million increased $0.9 million, or 3.6 percent, from $25.3 million in the second quarter of 1998. This increase reflects the impact of higher sales volumes, especially for higher-margin aftermarket avionics and sensors products, partially offset by higher spending for research and development costs. MRO Group - --------- Sales increased $32.3 million, or 30.9 percent, from $104.4 million in the second quarter of 1998 to $136.7 million in the second quarter of 1999. This increase reflects higher demand for airframe, component and landing gear maintenance services ($20 million) as well as the acquisition of the remaining 50 percent of a joint venture and the subsequent consolidation of the joint venture's results ($12 million). Operating income in the second quarter of this year increased $5.3 million, or 88.3 percent, from $6.0 million in 1998 to $11.3 million in 1999. The significant increase in operating income over the comparable period last year was a direct result of the higher demand for component and landing gear maintenance services noted above, as well as from the acquisition and consolidation of a previously 50 percent owned joint venture that was accounted for under the equity method. FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1999 COMPARED WITH FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1998 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Sales of BFGoodrich Aerospace increased $150.9 million, or 11.1 percent, in the first half of 1999, from $1,355.4 million in the first half of 1998 to $1,506.3 million in the first half of 1999. Each Group posted higher revenue compared to the same period a year ago, including the PW 4000 settlement discussed above. Aerospace operating income rose $42.3 million, or 23.7 percent, from $178.8 million during the first half of 1998 to $221.1 million for the 1999 first half. This growth principally reflects the impact of higher sales volumes and the PW 4000 settlement. Operating income margins increased primarily due to the favorable mix of aftermarket sales to OEM sales. Aerostructures Group - --------------------- Sales for the first half of 1999 increased $48.4 million, or 8.3 percent, from $585.0 million in the first half of 1998 to $633.4 million in the first half 1999. Aftermarket sales as well as a settlement with Pratt & Whitney on the PW4000 contract contributed to the increase, more than offsetting lower sales in the Group's OEM products. Operating income for the Aerostructures Group in the first half of 1999 was $97.4 million compared with $82.8 million for the first half of 1998, a 17.6 percent increase. This increase, as well as the increase in operating income margins, was primarily due to increased aftermarket sales. Landing Systems Group - --------------------- Sales increased 14.6 percent, from $286.4 million in the 1998 first half to $328.1 million in the first half of 1999. Approximately $28 million of the increase came from volume increases while $14 million resulted from an acquisition made late in 1998. The volume growth principally came from higher aftermarket demand for commercial and military landing gear components and wheels and brakes. 18 The Group's operating income increased $16.5 million, or 51.6 percent, from $32.2 million in the 1998 first half to $48.8 million in the first half of 1999. This improvement largely reflects the benefit from higher volumes of landing gear and wheels and brakes after-market products. A favorable sales mix in addition to lower OEM sales incentives related to wheels and brakes products contributed to the Group's higher operating income and margins. Sensors and Integrated Systems Group - -------------------------------------- Sales increased $18.0 million, or 6.4 percent, from $280.0 million in the first half of 1998 to $298.0 million in 1999 first half. This increase reflects higher volumes of sensors, avionics products and integrated fuel systems. The Group's operating income of $55.5 million during the first six months of 1999 increased $2.2 million, or 4.1 percent, over the same period in 1998. This increase reflects the impact of higher sales volumes, especially for higher-margin aftermarket sensors products, partially offset by higher spending for research and development costs. MRO Group - --------- Sales increased $42.8 million, or 21.0 percent, from $204.0 million in the first half of 1998 to $246.8 million in the first half of 1999. This increase reflects higher demand for airframe and component maintenance services as well as the acquisition of the remaining balance of a joint venture business in the Asia Pacific region. The Group's operating income in the first half of this year was $19.4 million compared with $10.5 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of $8.9 million, or 84.8 percent. This significant increase over the comparable prior year period reflects higher demand for airframe and component maintenance services as well as the results of the acquisition of the joint venture business in Asia. 19 Performance Materials - --------------------- (Dollars in millions)

SECOND QUARTER OF 1999 COMPARED WITH SECOND QUARTER OF 1998 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Sales for the second quarter were $311.0 million vs. $340.9 million from a year ago. This 8.8 percent decline in sales was driven primarily by reduced volumes, particularly in the Textile and Coatings Solutions Group ($15 million), and unfavorable pricing throughout the Segment ($13 million). Second quarter operating income for the Performance Materials Segment increased $2.8 million, or 7.0 percent, from $40.2 million in 1998 to $43.0 million in 1999. Sharply reduced variable costs, primarily raw materials (approximately $15 million) and manufacturing efficiencies/overhead cost controls (approximately $7 million) helped offset the impact of reduced prices (prices were down 4 percent versus 1998) and volumes. In addition, 1999 operating income included a one-time favorable settlement ($2 million) from a patent infringement lawsuit. 20 Textile and Coatings Solutions Group - ------------------------------------- Sales in the Group decreased $19.7 million (11.0 percent) from the prior year, driven by a decline in volume ($14 million), continued price erosion ($7 million) and unfavorable mix ($5 million), partially offset by the favorable impact of a 1999 acquisition ($6 million). All of the Group's major businesses continue to have lower volumes and prices versus a year ago, due primarily to an overall industry slump, with the largest competitors fighting to retain and/or gain market share, sparking additional downward pressure on prices. Operating income for the Group decreased $7.0 million, or 34.0 percent from $20.6 million in the second quarter of 1998 to $13.6 million in the second quarter of 1999. Lower raw material costs helped to partially offset the impact of the volume and price declines. Polymer Additives and Specialty Plastics Group - ---------------------------------------------- Second quarter sales were $2.6 million (2.4 percent) lower than the prior year, driven primarily by price reductions resulting from competition, industry consolidation, and general economic softness in Europe. Volume was very strong for the Group's TempRite(R) high heat-resistant plastics products, due to continuing strength in the construction market. Strength in the Group's plumbing, fire sprinkler and industrial piping markets more than offset volume declines seen in other markets, particularly in the Estane(R) thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) products. Operating income for the Group increased $5.5 million, or 45.5 percent, as lower raw material costs and the margins from increased TempRite(R) demand significantly exceeded volume weakness and price pressures in the Group's other products. Consumer Specialties Group - --------------------------- Sales were down $7.6 million (14.4 percent) compared to the prior year, with volumes down approximately $6 million and prices down approximately $2 million. The largest declines occurred in the Group's pharmaceutical applications markets, which continue to experience weakness in Eastern Europe due to economic conditions and competitive pricing. In addition, second quarter 1998 performance was extremely strong, driving a portion of the negative variance. Despite the sales decline, operating income was up $4.3 million (57.3 percent) driven by favorable manufacturing and overhead cost controls combined with a one-time favorable settlement ($2 million) from a patent infringement lawsuit. FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1999 COMPARED WITH FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1998 - --------------------------------------------------------------- During the first six months of 1999, sales for the Performance Materials Segment increased $17.7 million (3.0 percent) from $593.3 million in 1998 to $611.0 million in 1999. Acquisitions (primarily Freedom Chemical, which was acquired in March of 1998) accounted for $69 million, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable volumes, prices, and mix ($51 million). Volume for many of the Segment's products was down due to industry softness, consolidation and intense competition. Inexpensive imports and localized areas of foreign economic weakness have put additional pressure on pricing, causing prices to be down more than 3 percent as compared with the first six months of 1998. 21 Operating income for the Segment is down $0.6 million (0.8 percent), with 1999 first half earnings of $76.2 million versus 1998 first half earnings of $76.8 million. This nearly flat income performance was achieved by offsetting the previously mentioned price and volume declines with significantly reduced raw material costs, increased manufacturing productivity, overhead cost controls and the favorable patent infringement settlement noted above. Textile and Coatings Solutions Group - ------------------------------------ Sales increased $12.8 million (4.3 percent) from the prior year, driven by acquisitions ($49 million), principally Freedom, partially offset by volume ($21 million) and price declines ($10 million) and an unfavorable mix ($6 million). Despite sales increases in all of the Group's major businesses, mostly as a result of acquisitions, operating income for the Group decreased by $14.4 million (39.7 percent), with the largest portion of the decrease attributable to the ongoing downturn in the Group's textile business as noted above in the quarterly comments. Polymer Additives and Specialty Plastics Group - --------------------------------------------------- First half sales were $7.4 million (3.4 percent) lower than the prior year, driven primarily by price reductions ($9 million), offset by volume increases ($2 million). The price reductions impacted most of the Group's products, while the volume increase was driven by the Group's TempRite(R) high heat-resistant plastics products. Operating income for the Group increased $9.4 million, or 34.3 percent, as a result of a favorable mix, cost controls, and lower raw material costs which offset reduced volumes and prices in the Group's other products. Consumer Specialties Group - ---------------------------- Sales were up $12.3 million (16.7 percent) compared to the first half 1998, driven by the Freedom acquisition ($20 million) and partially offset by volume ($6 million) and price ($1 million) declines (see discussion within quarterly comments for additional detail). Operating income was up $4.4 million (33.6 percent) driven by manufacturing efficiencies, overhead cost controls, and a one-time favorable settlement from a patent infringement lawsuit. YEAR 2000 COMPUTER COSTS ------------------------ General - The Year 2000 issue is the result of some computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. The Company's computer equipment and software and devices with embedded technology that are date-sensitive may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. The Company has assessed how it may be impacted by the Year 2000 issue and has formulated and commenced implementation of a comprehensive plan to address all known aspects of the issue. The Plan - The Company's plan encompasses its information systems, production and facilities equipment that utilize date/time oriented software or computer chips, products, vendors and customers and is being carried out in four phases: 1) assessment and development of a plan; 2) remediation; 3) testing; and 4) implementation. The Company's plan includes purchasing new information systems where circumstances warrant. 22 The Company has made significant progress against its plan and has completed the following percentages of its total planned remediation efforts in the areas noted: Information systems 85% Production and facilities equipment 80% Products 97% The Company expects that its remediation efforts in the areas noted above will be substantially completed by September 30, 1999. Certain of the Company's acquired operations in Europe and in Asia are not expected to be substantially completed with their remediation efforts until October 31, 1999, however. The Company is also reviewing the efforts of its vendors and customers to become Year 2000 compliant. Letters and questionnaires have been sent to all critical entities with which the Company does business to assess their Year 2000 readiness. The Company anticipates that its activities will be ongoing for all of 1999 and will include follow-up telephone interviews and on-site meetings as considered necessary in the circumstances. Although its review is continuing, the Company is not currently aware of any vendor or customer circumstances that may have a material adverse impact on the Company. The Company will be looking for alternative suppliers where circumstances warrant. The Company can provide no assurance that Year 2000 compliance plans will be successfully completed by suppliers and customers in a timely manner. Cost - The Company's estimate of the total cost for Year 2000 compliance is approximately $57 million, of which approximately $49 million has been incurred through June 30, 1999. The Company capitalized approximately $35 million and expensed approximately $14 million of the $49 million spent to date. The Company's cost estimates include the amount specifically related to remedying Year 2000 issues as well as costs for improved systems which are Year 2000 compliant and would have been acquired in the ordinary course but whose acquisition has been accelerated to ensure compliance by the Year 2000. Incremental spending has not been, and is not expected to be, material because most Year 2000 compliance costs include items that are part of the standard procurement and maintenance of the Company's information systems and production and facilities equipment. Other non-Year 2000 efforts have not been materially delayed or impacted by the Company's Year 2000 initiatives. Risks - The Company believes that the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for the Company. However, if all Year 2000 issues are not properly identified, or assessment, remediation and testing are not effected in a timely manner with respect to problems that are identified, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issue will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations or adversely affect the Company's relationships with customers, vendors, or others. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issues of other entities will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's systems or results of operations. Contingency - The Company has developed contingency plans in the event any of its critical suppliers or service providers should incur Year 2000 failures in their systems that would cause a disruption in the Company's ability to conduct business and for system implementations/ upgrades planned for later this year. Some of the areas addressed in these contingency plans include potentially 23 increasing the staffing of shifts at year-end, carrying higher-levels of inventory for critical materials, components and finished goods and using alternate suppliers for critical raw materials. The Company's view of a "reasonably likely worse case scenario" would entail the temporary shutdown of a production unit at one or more of the Company's major manufacturing sites. Although the Company does not anticipate such a scenario will occur, if it were to occur, the Company believes it would be able to correct the problem in a timely fashion, alternatively source the production or satisfy the customer demand from existing inventory. Possible consequences of these actions may include increased manufacturing and general and administrative expenses and/or lost revenue. If the Company's contingency plans are not adequate or its suppliers or customers fail to remedy their own Year 2000 matters, the Company's results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY - ------------------------------- Current assets less current liabilities increased $230.5 million from December 31, 1998 to June 30, 1999. The increase resulted from a significant increase in cash and accounts receivable as well as a significant reduction in short-term indebtedness. The Company expects to have adequate cash flow from operations and has the credit facilities (described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 and in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 1999) to satisfy its operating requirements and capital spending programs and to finance growth opportunities as they arise. The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 40.8 percent at June 30, 1999, compared with 39.8 percent at December 31, 1998. For purposes of this ratio, the Trust preferred securities are treated as capital. During the first quarter of 1999, the Company made several changes to its committed domestic and European credit facilities. The Company extended the maturity of its existing $300 million five-year revolver to February 18, 2004. The Company also entered into a new $300 million short-term revolver with certain banks that expires March 14, 2000. In addition, the Company increased the size of its committed European multi-currency facility, which expires August 19, 2003, from $75 million to $125 million. On May 5, 1999, the company issued $200 million in Notes due 2009 with a coupon interest rate of 6.60 percent. Net proceeds will be used to repay short-term indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. The Company also entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converts the interest rate on the Notes to a floating rate based on LIBOR. Cash Flows Cash flow from operating activities in the first six months of 1999 was $4.1 million less than the same period last year. EBITDA, excluding merger related and consolidation costs, increased from $300.3 million in the first six months of 1998 to $351.1 million in the first six months of 1999. 24 TRANSITION TO THE EURO - ---------------------- Although the Euro was successfully introduced on January 1, 1999, the legacy currencies of those countries participating will continue to be used as legal tender through January 1, 2002. Thereafter, the legacy currencies will be canceled and Euro bills and coins will be used in the eleven participating countries. Transition to the Euro creates a number of issues for the Company. Business issues that must be addressed include product pricing policies and ensuring the continuity of business and financial contracts. Finance and accounting issues include the conversion of bank accounts and other treasury and cash management activities. The Company continues to address these transition issues and does not expect the transition to the Euro to have a material effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. Actions taken to date include the ability to quote its prices; invoice when requested by the customer; and issue pay checks to its employees on a dual currency basis. The Company has not yet set conversion dates for its accounting systems, statutory reporting and tax books, but will do so this year in conjunction with its efforts to be Year 2000 compliant. The financial institutions in which the Company has relationships have transitioned to the Euro successfully as well and are issuing statements in dual currencies. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - ------------------------ In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which, as amended by FASB Statement No. 137, is required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Statement permits early adoptions as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after its issuance. The Statement will require the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The Company has not yet determined what the effect of Statement No. 133 will be on its earnings and financial position and has not yet determined the timing or method of adoption. However, the Statement could increase volatility in earnings and comprehensive income. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO RISK AND UNCERTAINTY -------------------------------------------------------------- We believe this document includes certain forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risk and uncertainty. BFGoodrich's actual results may differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "are likely to be" and similar expressions. 25 With respect to Aerospace, the worldwide civil aviation market could be adversely affected if customers cancel or delay current orders or original-equipment manufacturers reduce the rate they build or expect to build products for such customers. Such cancellations, delays or reductions may occur if there is a substantial change in the health of the airline industry or in the general economy, or if a customer were to experience financial or operational difficulties. There have been weak new aircraft orders and actual cancellation of orders from Asian carriers due to the Asian financial crisis. There are financial difficulties in Russia and Latin America as well. If these developments should continue or accelerate, it could have an adverse effect upon the Company. If the decline in future new aircraft build rates is greater than anticipated, there could be a material adverse impact on the Company. Even if orders remain strong, original-equipment manufacturers could reduce the rate at which they build aircraft due to inability to obtain adequate parts from suppliers and/or because of productivity problems relating to a recent rapid build-up of the labor force to increase the build rate of new aircraft. Boeing announced a temporary cessation of production in the fall of 1997 for these reasons. A change in levels of defense spending could curtail or enhance prospects in the Company's military business. If the trend towards increased outsourcing or reduced number of suppliers in the airline industry changes, it could affect the Company's business. If the Boeing 717 program is not as successful as anticipated, it could adversely affect the Company's business. If the Company is unable to continue to acquire and develop new systems and improvements, it could affect future growth rates. In the immediate past there has been a higher-than-normal historical turnover rate of technicians in the MRO business due to hiring by Boeing and the airlines, although recently the turnover rate has been returning closer to historical levels. If this trend were again to reverse, it could have an adverse effect on the Company. If the Company does not experience continued growth in demand for its higher-margin aftermarket aerospace products or is unable to continue to achieve improved operating margins in its MRO business, it could have an adverse effect on operating results. Such events could be exacerbated if there is a substantial change in the health of the airline industry, or in the general economy, or if a customer were to experience major financial difficulties. Various industry estimates of future growth of revenue passenger miles, new original equipment deliveries and estimates of future deliveries of regional, business, general aviation and military orders may prove optimistic, which could have an adverse affect on operations. With respect to Performance Materials, if the expected growth in volume does not materialize, results could be adversely impacted. Expected sales increases in the Far East and Latin America could be adversely impacted by recent turmoil in financial markets in those regions. If demand does not increase during the second half of 1999 as anticipated or cost reduction benefits do not materialize, the results of the Performance Materials Segment could be adversely affected. If cost benefits from continued integration of recent acquisitions and realignment activities do not occur as expected, results could be adversely impacted. Revenue growth in various businesses may not materialize as expected. The segment may not be able to achieve the $7 million in cost savings in the second half of 1999 and $15 million in annualized savings in 2000 from the realignment of the Performance Materials organization. With respect to the entire Company, if outside vendors are unable to make their computer systems Year 2000 compliant in time, or if the magnitude of the Year 2000 issue is greater than presently anticipated, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company. If there are unexpected developments with respect to environmental matters involving the Company, it could have an adverse effect upon the Company. The Company anticipates $60 million in annualized savings from the Coltec merger by 2002. If the Company is unable to achieve these savings, it could have an adverse impact upon the Company. If the Company's state and local tax planning is not as effective as anticipated, the Company's effective tax rate could increase. 26 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS As a result of recent air emissions sampling conducted for the Company at its textile chemical plant in Charlotte, North Carolina, a question has arisen regarding the facility's compliance with applicable federal and state environmental air pollution statutes and regulations and permit conditions. The Company has notified and met with relevant governmental authorities about the potential problem and will continue to cooperate with authorities on a voluntary basis to resolve this matter. The Company has installed a control device to reduce all types of emissions. It is possible that Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, may seek a fine in excess of $100,000. Item 4.
