AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1.    OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     Agilent Technologies, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) is a global technology leader in communications, electronics and life sciences. We were incorporated in Delaware in May 1999.
 
     Our fiscal year end is October 31 and our fiscal quarters end on January 31, April 30 and July 31. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to our fiscal year and fiscal periods.
 
2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Reclassifications.
 
     Amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2001 have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
 
     Basis of Presentation.
 
     We have prepared the accompanying financial data for the quarterly period of 2002 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
 
     In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of January 31, 2002 and October 31, 2001, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flow activities for the first quarter of 2002 and 2001.
 
     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     The results of operations for the first quarter of 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
 
     Foreign Currency Translation.
 
     Effective November 1, 2001, the Company has determined that the functional currency for certain of its subsidiaries outside of the United States of America has changed from the U.S. dollar to the local currency based on the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”. This change did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position as of November 1, 2001.
 
     Depreciation.
 
     The straight-line method of depreciation was adopted for all property, plant and equipment placed into service after November 1, 2001. For property, plant and equipment placed into service prior to November 1, 2001, depreciation is principally provided using accelerated methods. The change in accounting principle was made in order to align our policies more closely with other companies in our industry. The effect of this change on the current quarter’s net loss was not material.

Table of Contents

     New Accounting Pronouncements.
 
     There have been no changes in our assessment of the timing and impact of adoption of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
 
3.    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
     The condensed consolidated financial statements present the healthcare solutions business as a discontinued operation. This business was sold to Koninklijke Philips Electronics, N.V. (“Philips”) on August 1, 2001 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement as amended. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the terms of the agreements with Philips.
 
     Prior period amounts have been restated, including the reallocation of general overhead charges to our three remaining business segments. We recorded an after tax gain of $646 million as a result of the sale to Philips in the fourth quarter of last year and $2 million after tax gain in the current quarter. We do not expect any material adjustments to the gain when the determination of the final purchased net assets and the performance of certain services are complete. For incremental fees, we will provide certain support services to Philips during the next year.

7.    SENIOR CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND LINES OF CREDIT
 
     Senior Convertible Debentures. On November 27, 2001, we completed a private offering of $1.15 billion aggregate principal amount of 3 percent senior convertible debentures (the “debentures”) due 2021 and generated net proceeds of $1.12 billion (after deducting fees and expenses). The debentures are convertible at any time into our common stock at an initial conversion price of $32.22 per share, subject to adjustment, and are redeemable at our option at any time on or after December 6, 2004. Holders of the debentures have the ability to require us to repurchase the debentures, in whole or in part, on specified dates in 2006, 2011 and 2016. Holders also have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of the outstanding debentures if we undergo a fundamental change at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount plus interest. The debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 3 percent, payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year beginning June 1, 2002. The interest rate will reset in June 2006, June 2011 and June 2016, but in no event will it be reset below 3 percent or above 5 percent per annum. More information regarding the terms of the debentures, including the conversion price, fundamental change and the interest rate reset can be found in the related Indenture agreement dated November 27, 2001.
 
     Lines of Credit. As of November 2, 2001, the 364-day revolving credit line was extended for an additional year. As of November 19, 2001, our 364-day and five-year revolving credit agreements were amended. Among other changes, the financial covenants were changed to limit the amount of debt that we can have relative to the sum of stockholders’ equity and debt, and to require certain minimum amounts of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization on a rolling four-quarter basis.
 
8.    RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT
 
     During the first quarter of 2002, we continued to take steps to restructure our businesses as a result of the economic downturn that has impacted many of the markets that we serve. On November 15, 2001, we announced that we would eliminate approximately 4,000 jobs, which is in addition to the restructuring plan to eliminate approximately 4,000 jobs we announced on August 20, 2001. We had reduced our workforce by approximately 5,000 at January 31, 2002 and expect to substantially complete the plans by the end of the third quarter of 2002. Approximately $105 million of restructuring and asset impairment charges were recognized this quarter. Of this amount, $48 million was included in costs of products and services (which included $7 million of asset impairment charges), $12 million was included in research and development expenses and $45 million was included in selling, general and administrative expenses (which included $5 million of asset impairment charges).

9.    SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
     In November 2001, we changed the method by which we allocate corporate expenses to the segments. Prior period earnings (loss) from operations have been restated accordingly. (Loss) earnings from operations of the segments continue to be measured before the effect of the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets, restructuring charges and other one-time items.
 
     The following tables reflect the results of our reportable segments under our management system. These results are not necessarily a depiction that is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The performance of each segment is measured based on several metrics, including (loss) earnings from operations. These results are used, in part, by management in evaluating the performance of, and in allocating resources to, each of the segments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED)

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS FORM 10-Q. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, STATEMENTS REGARDING THE ANTICIPATED COMPLETION OF TRANSACTIONS, OUR LIQUIDITY POSITION AND OUR EXPECTED OVERALL GROWTH THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE RESULTS CONTEMPLATED BY THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS DUE TO CERTAIN FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW IN “FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS” IN THIS FORM 10-Q.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial information presented in this Form 10-Q is not audited and is not necessarily indicative of our future consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our fiscal year end is October 31 and our fiscal quarters end on January 31, April 30, and July 31. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to our fiscal year and fiscal periods.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2001 have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The condensed consolidated financial statements present the healthcare solutions business as a discontinued operation. This business was sold to Koninklijke Philips Electronics, N.V. (“Philips”) on August 1, 2001 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement as amended. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the terms of the agreements with Philips.

Prior period amounts have been restated, including the reallocation of general overhead charges to our three remaining business segments. We recorded an after tax gain of $646 million as a result of the sale to Philips in the fourth quarter of last year and $2 million after tax gain in the current quarter. We do not expect any material adjustments to the gain when the determination of the final purchased net assets and the performance of certain services are complete. For incremental fees, we will provide certain support services to Philips during the next year.

IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES

In the first quarter of 2002 and 2001, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the Japanese yen. Movements in U.S. dollar exchange rates with respect to the Japanese yen and other foreign currencies had no material effect on our net revenue or operating expenses in the first quarter and are not expected to have a material impact in the second quarter. However, revenues and results of operations in the second half of the year and beyond may be adversely impacted by the continued strength of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen and other currencies unless we can take actions to offset the impact, such as raise prices.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Effective November 1, 2001, we have determined that the functional currency for certain of our subsidiaries outside of the United States of America has changed from the U.S. dollar to the local currency based on the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”. This change did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position as of November 1, 2001.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

As discussed above, the preparation of financial statements requires that management make a number of assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures. Management bases its

10


Table of Contents

estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Our critical accounting policies are those that affect our financial statements materially and involve some level of judgment by management. Those policies are revenue recognition, inventory valuation, valuation of long-lived assets and accounting for income taxes.

Revenue is recognized on a sale to a customer only after the product or service has been delivered or installed and accepted by the customer, if necessary. In certain circumstances, we record estimated reductions to revenue for certain product returns and price protection activities. The estimated cost of providing warranty service is also recorded at the time of sale as additional cost of product. We monitor the creditworthiness of our customers and will not record revenue on sales if collection is not reasonably assured. Most of these conditions are subjective and actual results could vary from the estimated outcome, requiring future revisions to revenue.

We continually assess the valuation of our inventory and periodically write down the value for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Such estimates are difficult to make under current economic conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional write-downs may be required. If actual market conditions are more favorable than anticipated, our cost of sales will be lower than expected in that period.

We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted future cash flows. If the total of future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Estimates of the future cash flows associated with the assets are critical to these assessments. Changes in these estimates based on changed economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the financial statements in any given period.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and our deferred tax assets and liabilities. Our provision for income taxes is dependent upon an estimate of taxable income for the full year in each of the jurisdictions we operate. For the second and third quarters of 2001, our tax rate was based on the actual year-to-date effective tax rate which was our best estimate of the annual effective rate. For the first quarters of 2002 and 2001, our tax rate was based on an estimate of expected annual pretax income. Although some uncertainty exists regarding the estimate of our annual pretax income for 2002, the uncertainty does not lead to significant effective tax rate volatility. However, if our actual results differ from our estimates, our tax rate will change in future periods. We have not provided for U.S. federal income and foreign withholding tax on a portion of our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings as of October 31, 2001 because we intend to reinvest such earnings indefinitely. If management decides to remit these earnings to the U.S., our provision for taxes will increase materially in that period.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

While business conditions remain difficult, we are encouraged by early signs of improvement in some of the markets that we serve. In response to the weak global business environment, management continues efforts to manage our expenses, working capital and cash and has reduced the levels of fixed costs. Comparatively weak markets for our test and measurement and semiconductor products businesses drove a 41 percent decline in orders for the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. Our incoming order rate is a good indicator of future revenue. After five consecutive quarters of steep declines, first quarter net orders were up 20 percent over the fourth quarter of last year. This was primarily due to a reduction in cancellations of $170 million from the prior quarter. We expect a modest increase in global orders and revenue for the second quarter, with the exception of Japan, which appears to be recovering more slowly than the U.S. We anticipate our revenues and costs, excluding goodwill and other intangible amortization, restructuring and asset impairment charges, will break even at some point during the third quarter of 2002. Our projections for the full year 2002 indicate a loss from operations, although the fourth quarter may bring a return to modest profitability before the effect of goodwill and other intangible amortization, restructuring and asset impairment charges.

RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT

We recorded approximately $105 million of restructuring and asset impairment charges (collectively referred to as “restructuring charges” below) in this quarter, and none in the same period in 2001. Of this amount, $48 million was included in cost of products and services, $12 million was included in research and development expenses and $45 million was included in selling, general and administrative expenses. These costs were primarily severance payments in connection with the employees affected by our restructuring plans. We had reduced our workforce by approximately 5,000 at January 31, 2001. We have achieved savings of

11

approximately $65 million this quarter from the restructuring efforts and are planning for savings of approximately $300 million per quarter by the fourth quarter of this year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our company is a global diversified technology organization that provides enabling solutions to high growth markets within the communications, electronics and life sciences industries.

(a)    Services and other consists primarily of revenue generated from servicing our installed base of products, warranty extensions, consulting and operating lease revenue. Our operating lease revenue has decreased in 2002 as a result of the sale of leasing assets to Tyco Capital Corporation in 2001.

The decrease in net revenue for the first quarter of 2002, compared to the same period in 2001, related primarily to a slowdown in the telecommunications and semiconductor industry. To date, this slowdown has impacted our net revenue in the United States somewhat more severely than in other parts of the world. There was minimal currency impact on net revenue in either period due in part to our hedging policies. Product revenues in the first quarter of 2001 included $61 million relating to the sale of leasing assets to Tyco Capital Corporation, which was not repeated in the current quarter. Support revenues were reduced in 2002 as compared to the prior year as customers chose to pay for service work on a time and materials basis.

The increase in cost of products as a percentage of product revenue in 2002 as compared to 2001 was due in large part to the fixed nature of our manufacturing costs, which decreased at a much slower pace than revenue. Restructuring efforts to reduce manufacturing capacity and fixed costs have been ongoing, although the full effect of the savings will not be seen until the fourth quarter of this year. Cost of products and services for the first quarter of 2002 increased as a result of a $48 million restructuring charge and amortization of intangibles of $10 million. Excluding the amortization and restructuring charge from both periods, where applicable, cost of products was $720 million for the first quarter of 2002, and $1,093 million for the first quarter of 2001. This would result in a cost of product percentage of 57.8 percent in 2002, and 47.1 percent in 2001, an increase of 10.7 percentage points.

The increase in research and development expenses as a percentage of net revenue for the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 reflected our continuing commitment to invest in developing new products and technologies. Net revenue decreased more quickly than research and development expenses. Total research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2002 included a restructuring charge of $12 million.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue for the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 reflected restructuring charges and additional amortization in the current year. Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2002 included a restructuring charge of $45 million. Goodwill and purchased intangible assets from various acquisitions resulted in $86 million of amortization expense for the first quarter of 2002 as compared to $39 million in the same period a year ago. Excluding the impact of the goodwill and other intangible asset amortization and restructuring charges, our selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2002 decreased $127 million or 18 percent from selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2001. We have reduced average headcount by approximately 2,600 people as compared to the first quarter of 2001, and we expect to recognize additional savings from those and other planned reductions going forward into the rest of the year.

Other income (expense), net generally includes interest income, interest expense, rental income, currency gain (loss) and other miscellaneous items. As a result of our $1.15 billion senior convertible debenture offering in November 2001, we experienced an increase in interest income and interest expense that substantially offset each other in the first quarter of 2002.

(BENEFIT) PROVISION FOR TAXES

For the first quarter of 2002, our effective tax rate was 25%. This rate was calculated using an estimate of our expected annual pretax income for 2002. The tax rate reflected the continuing impact of the global economic downturn. Our future effective tax rate will be calculated using expected annual pretax income and will be subject to the impact of future profitability, the effects of business acquisitions and dispositions, as well as changes in the mix of our pretax earnings among jurisdictions with varying statutory rates.

SEGMENT RESULTS

In November 2001, we changed the method by which we allocate corporate expenses to the segments. Prior period earnings (loss) from operations have been restated accordingly. (Loss) earnings from operations of the segments continue to be measured before the effect of the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets, restructuring charges and other one-time items.

All of our businesses have been dramatically impacted by the overall trends in the global economy since the beginning of 2001. Coming out of 2000, which was a strong year for the industries in which we operate, our first quarter 2001 results were at a high point, though order weakness compared to prior quarters illustrated the beginning of a trend. During 2001, the economy in general and the industries in which we compete in particular saw sequential weakening every quarter. When reviewed sequentially with respect to the fourth quarter of 2001, our first quarter of 2002 saw some improvements, mainly due to cost containment initiatives and lower inventory charges. Our first quarter of 2002 also saw increased orders sequentially in our two largest segments: test and measurement and semiconductor products.

TEST AND MEASUREMENT

Our test and measurement business provides test instruments, standard and customized test, measurement and monitoring instruments and systems for the design, manufacture and support of electronics and communications devices and software for the design of high-frequency electronic and communications devices and networks.

Orders were off 49 percent from one year ago; this business’ results are cyclical in nature, closely tied to the overall economy that slowed sequentially for each quarter in 2001. However, orders in the first quarter of 2002 were 23 percent above fourth quarter levels, with particular strength in semiconductor test equipment orders for system on a chip device testers and for our new flash memory tester. In communications and general purpose test markets, orders were about 10 percent above fourth quarter levels. Communications service providers continue to cut capital expenditure budgets, contributing to slow recovery in that market. We have achieved over 100 design wins in semiconductor test markets in the last two quarters, which has helped to improve orders sequentially, and other new product introductions are also contributing to the strengthening trend.

Revenues for the test and measurement business were down 52 percent from one year ago, and down about 12 percent from the fourth quarter of 2001. Competitive pressure for higher discounts has adversely affected revenues during the quarter, with partial offset from the sales of new products introduced during 2001. Increased discounting could have a more adverse impact to future revenues. Customers delaying the renewal of service contracts or choosing to pay for services on a time-and-materials basis have exerted additional downward pressure on revenue.

Costs of products and services as a percentage of net revenue for the first quarter were up approximately 13 percentage points over the first quarter of last year, and down nearly 16 percentage points from the fourth quarter. The largest driver of the increase over the prior year was volume, due to dramatically reduced demand. Charges for excess and obsolete inventory decreased by approximately $130 million from the fourth quarter. Inventory charges were not significant in the first quarter of 2002 and 2001. Research and development costs as a percentage of net revenue were up 11 percentage points from last year and flat sequentially. In dollar terms, total research and development expenses were down, indicating that savings are not keeping pace with declining revenues. We expect to realize additional workforce management savings in subsequent quarters, and discretionary expenses continue to be closely monitored. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue have increased approximately 20 percentage points from last year and minimally from the prior quarter. The percentage point increase is attributable to the fact that revenues declined faster than we were able to cut expenses, due to the fixed nature of many of our expenses; in absolute terms, expenses are lower compared to both the first and fourth quarters of 2001. The test and measurement business has reduced average headcount by approximately 1,200 people as compared to the first quarter of 2001, and expects to recognize additional savings from those and other planned reductions going forward into the rest of the year.

Operating losses were reduced by $126 million compared to the fourth quarter of last year, principally because of the reduction in inventory write-offs. Excluding that impact, operating losses were essentially flat despite $114 million lower revenues, due to tight expense controls and the initial benefits of the restructuring program. Year over year our operating losses increased by $495 million, on revenues which decreased by $883 million.

Orders for semiconductor products were down 37 percent from last year but were up 33 percent sequentially, with orders for mobile communications, computing and printing and optoelectronic (personal systems) products up 51 percent from the fourth quarter and networking orders up a more modest 8 percent. The storage market appears to be recovering, and demand for our 2Gbps fiber channel products is increasing. Additionally, we had design wins at several leading manufacturers. Strong consumer spending in and after the holiday season and market share gains for our optical mouse products also contributed to the sequential increases.

Semiconductor products revenues were down 45 percent from last year, and 15 percent from the prior quarter. Revenues are expected to increase slightly as general market conditions strengthen throughout the year.

Costs of products as a percentage of net revenue for the semiconductor products group were up 12 percentage points from a year ago and down 19 percentage points sequentially. Approximately one third of the sequential improvement is attributable to the reduction in inventory charges by $43 million, and a significant portion is a result of our workforce management initiative. Research and development and selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of net revenue were up 7 percentage points over last year and flat from the prior quarter. While the percentage is up from the prior year, absolute spending is down. The percentage point increase is attributable to the fact that revenues declined faster than we were able to cut expenses, due to the fixed nature of many of our expenses. We expect to see improvements next quarter from workforce management savings, and continued reductions in research and development project material spending. The semiconductor products business has reduced average headcount by approximately 1,200 people as compared to the first quarter of 2001. The savings from these headcount reductions will be fully realized in the second quarter.

Operating losses were reduced by $65 million from the fourth quarter despite a 15 percent drop in revenues, because of the reduction in inventory write-offs and restructuring benefits. Compared to the same period in the prior year, operating losses increased by $112 million, on a reduction of revenues of $265 million.

LIFE SCIENCES AND CHEMICAL ANALYSIS

Our life sciences and chemical analysis business (formerly known as our chemical analysis group) provides analytical instruments, systems and services for chromatography, spectroscopy, bio-instrumentation and consumables to the chemical and life science markets.

Orders in life sciences and chemical analysis were down slightly from one year ago and about flat sequentially. Excluding a change in the seasonal ordering pattern of one major customer, orders were up slightly from a year ago. Indications are that pharmaceutical companies are still determining capital expenditure budgets for 2002, and we expect a lull in orders until those budgets are finalized. Additionally, competitors responded to certain of our mass spectrometry products with aggressive pricing on their own offerings.

Product and service revenues for life sciences and chemical analysis are down slightly from last quarter, but up slightly from one year ago. The sequential decrease in revenues follows typical seasonality for the business. Underlying year-over-year growth in year-over-year revenues was attributable to strong performance in ChemChip and bioscience products sold to life sciences customers, despite weakness in revenues from traditional chemical and petroleum customers.

Life sciences and chemical analysis expenses as a percentage of net revenue in all categories were essentially flat compared to last year and sequentially. There are no restructuring plans for this group this year.

Profits were flat sequentially despite $10 million lower revenues, and were up $31 million from a year ago on $9 million higher revenues, due to better gross margins and lower operating expenses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $2,188 million as of January 31, 2002 as compared to $1,170 million as of October 31, 2001. We used $144 million of cash in operating activities during the first quarter of 2002 compared to usage of $173 million for the corresponding period in 2001. Management has taken significant steps to improve our management of working capital, as demonstrated by cash contributions from inventory and accounts receivable compared to the prior year. Of the $144 million cash used in operations, approximately $90 million was spent on restructuring activities, primarily severance payments.

Net cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2002 was $53 million, compared to $878 million for the corresponding period in 2001. The decrease in investment activity was primarily due to the acquisition of Objective Systems Integrators, Inc. in 2001 and our current overall strategy of spending controls and cash conservation in the face of the weakening economy.

In November 2001, we borrowed $1,123 million, net of issuance costs, under a private offering of 3 percent senior convertible debentures due 2021. The debentures are convertible into our common stock at an initial conversion price of $32.22 per share, subject to adjustment, and are redeemable at our option at any time on or after December 6, 2004. Holders of the debentures have the ability to require us to repurchase the debentures, in whole or in part, on specified dates in 2006, 2011 and 2016. Holders also have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of the outstanding debentures if we undergo a fundamental change at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount plus interest. The debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 3 percent, payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year beginning June 1, 2002. The interest rate will reset in June 2006, June 2011 and June 2016, but in no event will it be reset below 3 percent or above 5 percent per annum. More information regarding the terms of the debentures, including conversion price, fundamental change and the interest rate reset can be found in the related Indenture agreement dated November 27, 2001.

During the same period in 2001, we entered into a $150 million one-year revolving credit facility with the same terms and conditions as our then-existing $250 million five-year and $250 million 364-day revolving credit facilities. Of those facilities, the $150 million facility was terminated on August 1, 2001. As of January 31, 2002, there were no balances outstanding under either of the two remaining $250 million facilities, which terminate on November 2, 2002 and November 5, 2005, respectively. We had borrowed $25 million against the $150 million revolving credit facility and approximately $420 million in commercial paper supported by the two $250 million facilities in the first quarter of 2001.

During the first quarter of 2002, we received $62 million from the purchase of our common stock under existing employee stock plans, compared with $58 million for the corresponding period in 2001. We also received an additional cash payment of $27 million from our sale of the healthcare solutions business, for initial integration services provided by us to Philips prior to October 31, 2001 in accordance with the asset purchase agreement, as amended.

We expect to fund future operations and potential acquisitions from our existing cash reserves, operating cash flows and existing bank credit facilities.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Our operating results and financial condition could continue to be harmed if the industries into which we sell our products, such as the communications, electronics and semiconductor industries, remain depressed.

     The current economic downturn has resulted in reduced purchasing and capital spending in many of the markets that we serve worldwide. In particular, the communications, semiconductor and electronics industries have been in a downward cycle characterized by diminished product demand, excess manufacturing capacity and the increasing erosion of average selling prices.

     We are uncertain how long the current downturn will last. Any further decline in our customers’ markets or in general economic conditions would likely result in a further reduction in demand for our products and services and could harm our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and stock price, and could limit our ability to reach our goals for restoring profitability. In addition, we may be required to secure additional debt or equity financing at some time in the future, and we cannot assure you that such financing will be available when required on acceptable terms.

The actions we have taken in response to the recent slowdown in demand for our products and services could have long-term adverse effects on our business.

     Our semiconductor and test and measurement businesses have been experiencing lower revenues due to decreased or cancelled customer orders. From the third quarter of 2000 up until the end of fiscal 2001, we experienced declines in orders. To scale back our operations and to reduce our expenses in response to this decreased demand for our products and services and lower revenue, we have reduced our workforce, frozen hiring, cut back significantly on our use of temporary workers and reduced discretionary spending. We also have initiated short-term facility closures to reduce production levels.

     In calendar year 2001, we implemented plans to reduce our workforce by approximately 8,000 people by the middle of 2002. In addition, from May 1 to October 31 of 2001, we instituted a 10 percent pay reduction applicable to all employees globally, wherever legally permissible, which was reinstated for approximately 2,000 of our senior managers starting from the first quarter of fiscal 2002. A 5 percent reduction in pay for our other employees, wherever legally permissible, began in February of 2002. The reductions in pay took effect via a reduction in hours for certain employees, in accordance with local law. In addition to these measures, we are continuing our initiatives to streamline our operations.

     There are several risks inherent in our efforts to transition to a new cost structure. These include the risk that we will not be able to reduce expenditures quickly enough and sustain them at a level necessary to restore profitability, and that we may have to undertake further restructuring initiatives that would entail additional charges. In addition, there is the risk that cost-cutting initiatives will impair our ability to effectively develop and market products and remain competitive in the industries in which we compete. Each of the above measures could have long-term effects on our business by reducing our pool of technical talent, decreasing or slowing improvements in our products, making it more difficult for us to respond to customers, limiting our ability to increase production quickly if and when the demand for our products increases and limiting our ability to hire and retain key personnel. These circumstances could cause our earnings to be lower than they otherwise might be.

As demand for our products does not match our manufacturing capacity, our earnings may continue to suffer.

     Because we cannot immediately adapt our production capacity and related cost structures to rapidly changing market conditions, when demand does not meet our expectations, our manufacturing capacity will likely exceed our production requirements. Currently, we have excess manufacturing capacity as a result of the recent decrease in purchasing and capital spending in the communications, electronics and semiconductor industries. The fixed costs associated with excess manufacturing capacity have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our earnings. Conversely, if during a market upturn, we cannot increase our manufacturing capacity to meet product demand, we will not be able to fulfill orders in a timely manner, which in turn may have a negative effect on our earnings and overall business.

Failure to adjust our orders for parts due to changing market conditions could adversely affect our earnings.

     Our earnings could be harmed if we are unable to adjust our orders for parts to market fluctuations. In order to secure components for the production of products, we may enter into non-cancelable purchase commitments with vendors, or at times make advance payments to suppliers, which could impact our ability to adjust our inventory to declining market demands. Prior commitments of this

17


Table of Contents

type have resulted in an excess of parts as demand for our communications, semiconductor and electronics products has decreased. For example, in the year ended October 31, 2001 we incurred approximately $459 million of inventory-related charges. If the demand for our products continues to decrease, we may experience an excess of parts again and be forced to incur additional charges. By contrast, during a market upturn, our results could be materially and adversely impacted if we cannot increase our parts supply quickly enough to meet increasing demand for our products. Certain parts may be available only from a single supplier or a limited number of suppliers. In addition, suppliers may cease manufacturing certain components that are difficult to substitute without significant reengineering of our products. Suppliers may also extend lead times, limit supplies or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors.

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause volatility in the price of our common stock and the debentures.

     Given the nature of the markets in which we participate, we cannot reliably predict future revenue and profitability. As demand for our products has decreased in recent periods, our quarterly sales and operating results have become highly dependent on the volume and timing of orders received during the quarter, which are difficult to forecast. The reduction in the backlog of our orders also has significantly affected our ability to efficiently plan production and inventory levels, which has led to fluctuations in operating results. In addition, a significant portion of our operating expenses is relatively fixed in nature due to our significant sales, research and development and manufacturing costs. If we cannot adjust spending quickly enough to compensate for a revenue shortfall, this may magnify the adverse impact of a revenue shortfall on our results of operations. Fluctuations in our operating results may cause volatility in the price of our common stock and the debentures.

We are in the process of implementing new information systems, and problems with the redesign and implementation of these new systems could interfere with our operations.

     We are in the process of implementing new information systems to eventually replace our current systems, which are largely based on legacy systems that we created when we were a part of Hewlett-Packard. We may not be successful in implementing these new systems and transitioning data. As a part of this effort, we are implementing new enterprise resource planning software applications to manage our business operations. Failure to smoothly and successfully implement this and other systems could temporarily interrupt our operations and adversely impact our ability to run our business. In addition, any failure or significant downtime in our legacy or new information systems could prevent us from taking customer orders, shipping products or billing customers and could harm our business.

If we do not introduce successful new products and services in a timely manner, our products and services will become obsolete, and our operating results will suffer.

     We generally sell our products in industries that are characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product and service introductions and changing industry standards. Without the timely introduction of new products, services and enhancements, our products and services will become technologically obsolete over time, in which case our revenue and operating results would suffer. The success of our new product and service offerings will depend on several factors, including our ability to:

          properly identify customer needs;
 
          innovate and develop new technologies, services and applications;
 
          successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner;
 
          manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volumes on time;
 
          differentiate our offerings from our competitors’ offerings;
 
          price our products competitively; and
 
          anticipate our competitors’ announcements of new products, services or technological innovations.

Economic, political and other risks associated with international sales and operations could adversely affect our results of operations.

     Since we sell our products worldwide, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. We anticipate that revenue from international operations will continue to represent a substantial portion of our total revenue. In addition, many of our manufacturing facilities and suppliers are located outside the United States. Accordingly, our future results could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:

          interruption to transportation flows for delivery of parts to us and finished goods to our customers;
 
          changes in foreign currency exchange rates;
 
          changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic conditions;
 
          trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;
 
          negative consequences from changes in tax laws;
 
          difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations;
 
          differing labor regulations;
 
          differing protection of intellectual property; and
 
          unexpected changes in regulatory requirements.

     The current U.S. and international response against terrorism could exacerbate these risks. For example, there may be an increased risk of political unrest in regions such as Southeast Asia, where we have significant manufacturing operations. This could disrupt our ability to manufacture products or important parts as well as cause interruptions and/or delays in our ability to transport products to our customers or parts to other locations for continued manufacture and assembly. Any such delay or interruption could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our business will suffer if we are not able to retain and hire key personnel.

     Our future success depends partly on the continued service of our key research, engineering, sales, marketing, manufacturing, executive and administrative personnel. If we fail to retain and hire a sufficient number of these personnel, we will not be able to maintain or expand our business. Although the labor market has changed dramatically within the past year, and our attrition rate has dropped, there is still intense competition for certain highly technical specialties in geographic areas where we continue to recruit.

Our acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures may result in financial results that are different than expected.

     In the normal course of business, we frequently engage in discussions with third parties relating to possible acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures. As a result of such transactions, our financial results may differ from the investment community’s expectations in a given quarter. In addition, acquisitions and strategic alliances may require us to integrate a different company culture, management team and business infrastructure. We may have difficulty developing, manufacturing and marketing the products of a newly-acquired company in a way that enhances the performance of our combined businesses or product lines to realize the value from expected synergies. Depending on the size and complexity of an acquisition, our successful integration of the entity depends on a variety of factors, including:

          the retention of key employees;
 
          the management of facilities and employees in separate geographic areas;
 
          the retention of key customers; and

19


Table of Contents

          the integration or coordination of different research and development, product manufacturing and sales programs and facilities.

A successful divestiture depends on various factors, including our ability to:

          effectively transfer liabilities, contracts, facilities and employees to the purchaser;
 
          identify and separate the intellectual property to be divested from the intellectual property that we wish to keep; and
 
          reduce fixed costs previously associated with the divested assets or business.

     All of these efforts require varying levels of management resources, which may divert our attention from other business operations. If we do not realize the expected benefits or synergies of such transactions, our consolidated financial position, results of operations and stock price could be negatively impacted.

If sales of custom integrated circuits to Hewlett-Packard decline, our semiconductor products revenue will suffer, and we are limited in our ability to sell these integrated circuits to other companies.

     Historically, our semiconductor products business has sold custom products to Hewlett-Packard and has engaged in product development efforts with divisions of Hewlett-Packard. For the three months ended January 31, 2002, Hewlett-Packard accounted for approximately 6.9 percent of our total net revenue and approximately 30.2 percent of our semiconductor products business’ net revenue.

     We have a license agreement with Hewlett-Packard that covers integrated circuit technology used in custom integrated circuits for Hewlett-Packard’s printers, scanners and computers. The license agreement provides that, until November 2002 in some cases and until November 2009 in other cases, we are prohibited, with some exceptions, from using this integrated circuit technology for the development and sale of integrated circuits for use in inkjet products, printer products (including printer supplies, accessories and components), document scanners and computing products to third parties other than Hewlett-Packard.

     Although we have entered into a supply agreement for the sale to Hewlett-Packard of custom integrated circuits used in printers, scanners and computers, the agreement does not require Hewlett-Packard to purchase a minimum amount of product from us. In the event that Hewlett-Packard reduces its purchases of our custom integrated circuits, we would be unable to address this reduction through sales of these kinds of integrated circuits for these types of products to other customers.

We may face significant costs in order to comply with laws and regulations regarding the manufacture, processing, and distribution of chemicals, or regarding notification about chemicals, and if we fail to comply, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties or be prohibited from distributing our products.

     Some of our chemical analysis business’ products are used in conjunction with chemicals whose manufacture, processing, distribution and notification requirements are regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under the Toxic Substances Control Act, and by regulatory bodies in other countries with laws similar to the Toxic Substances Control Act. We must conform the manufacture, processing, distribution of and notification about these chemicals to these laws and adapt to regulatory requirements in all countries as these requirements change. If we fail to comply with these requirements in the manufacture or distribution of our products, then we could be made to pay civil penalties, face criminal prosecution and, in some cases, be prohibited from distributing our products in commerce until the products or component substances are brought into compliance.

Environmental contamination from past operations could subject us to unreimbursed costs and could harm on-site operations and the future use and value of the properties involved.

     Some of our properties are undergoing remediation by Hewlett-Packard for subsurface contaminations that were known at the time of our separation from Hewlett-Packard. Hewlett-Packard has agreed to retain the liability for this subsurface contamination, perform the required remediation and indemnify us with respect to claims arising out of that contamination. The determination of the existence and cost of any additional contamination caused by us could involve costly and time-consuming negotiations and litigation. In addition, Hewlett-Packard will have access to our properties to perform remediation. While Hewlett-Packard has agreed to minimize interference with on-site operations at those properties, remediation activities and subsurface contamination may require us

20


Table of Contents

to incur unreimbursed costs and could harm on-site operations and the future use and value of the properties. We cannot be sure that Hewlett-Packard will fulfill its indemnification or remediation obligations.

     We have agreed to indemnify Hewlett-Packard for any liability associated with contamination from past operations at all other properties transferred from Hewlett-Packard to us other than those properties currently undergoing remediation by Hewlett-Packard. While we are not aware of any material liabilities associated with existing subsurface contamination at any of those properties, subsurface contamination may exist, and we may be exposed to material liability as a result of the existence of that contamination.

Environmental contamination caused by ongoing operations could subject us to substantial liabilities in the future.

     Our semiconductor and other manufacturing processes involve the use of substances regulated under various international, federal, state and local laws governing the environment. We may be subject to liabilities for environmental contamination, and these liabilities may be substantial. Although our policy is to apply strict standards for environmental protection at our sites inside and outside the United States, even if not subject to regulations imposed by foreign governments, we may not be aware of all conditions that could subject us to liability.

We and our customers are subject to various governmental regulations, compliance with which may cause us to incur significant expenses, and if we fail to maintain satisfactory compliance with certain regulations, we may be forced to recall products and cease their manufacture and distribution, and we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties.

     Our businesses are subject to various significant international, federal, state and local, health and safety, packaging, product content and labor regulations. These regulations are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. We may be required to incur significant expenses to comply with these regulations or to remedy violations of these regulations. Any failure by us to comply with applicable government regulations could also result in cessation of our operations or portions of our operations, product recalls or impositions of fines and restrictions on our ability to carry on or expand our operations. In addition, because many of our products are regulated or sold into regulated industries, we must comply with additional regulations in marketing our products.

     Our products and operations are also often subject to the rules of industrial standards bodies, like the International Standards Organization, as well as regulation of other agencies such as the United States Federal Communications Commission. We also must comply with work safety rules. If we fail to adequately address any of these regulations, our businesses will be harmed.

We are subject to laws and regulations governing government contracts, and our failure to address these laws and regulations or comply with government contracts could harm our business.

     We have agreements relating to the sale of our products to government entities and, as a result, we are subject to various statutes and regulations that apply to companies doing business with the government. The laws governing government contracts differ from the laws governing private contracts. For example, many government contracts contain pricing terms and conditions that are not applicable to private contracts. We are also subject to investigation for compliance with the regulations governing government contracts.

Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property, and we could suffer significant litigation or licensing expenses or be prevented from selling products.

     Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to infringe those intellectual property rights. While we do not believe that any of our products infringe the valid intellectual property rights of third parties, we may be unaware of intellectual property rights of others that may cover some of our technology, products and services.

     Any litigation regarding patents or other intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and could divert our management and key personnel from our business operations. The complexity of the technology involved and the uncertainty of intellectual property litigation increase these risks. Claims of intellectual property infringement might also require us to enter into costly royalty or license agreements. However, we may not be able to obtain royalty or license agreements on terms acceptable to us, or at all. We also may be subject to significant damages or injunctions against development and sale of certain of our products.

21


Table of Contents

     We often rely on licenses of intellectual property useful for our businesses. We cannot assure you that these licenses will be available in the future on favorable terms or at all. In addition, our position with respect to the negotiation of licenses has changed as a result of our separation from Hewlett-Packard. In the past, as a part of Hewlett-Packard, we benefited from our access to Hewlett-Packard’s entire intellectual property portfolio when asserting counterclaims and negotiating cross-licenses with third parties. Our current patent cross-license agreement with Hewlett-Packard gives us only a limited right to sublicense a portion of Hewlett-Packard’s intellectual property portfolio. Accordingly, we may be unable to obtain agreements on terms as favorable as we may have been able to obtain if we could have sublicensed Hewlett-Packard’s entire intellectual property portfolio. Nothing restricts Hewlett-Packard from competing with us other than some restrictions on the use of patents licensed to Hewlett-Packard by us.

Third parties may infringe our intellectual property, and we may expend significant resources enforcing our rights or suffer competitive injury.

     Our success depends in large part on our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality provisions and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could suffer, which could harm our operating results.

     Our pending patent and trademark registration applications may not be allowed, or competitors may challenge the validity or scope of these patents or trademark registrations. In addition, our patents may not provide us a significant competitive advantage.

     We may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and police our intellectual property rights. We may not be able to detect infringement and our competitive position may be harmed before we do so. In addition, competitors may design around our technology or develop competing technologies. Intellectual property rights may also be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries, which could make it easier for competitors to capture market share.

If we suffer loss to our factories, facilities or distribution system due to catastrophe, our operations could be seriously harmed.

     Our factories, facilities and distribution system are subject to catastrophic loss due to fire, flood, terrorism or other natural or man-made disasters. In particular, several of our facilities could be subject to a catastrophic loss caused by earthquake due to their location. We have significant facilities in areas with above average seismic activity, such as our production facilities, headquarters and Agilent Laboratories in California and our production facilities in Washington and Japan. If any of these facilities were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could disrupt our operations, delay production, shipments and revenue, and result in large expenses to repair or replace the facility. We self-insure against such losses and do not carry catastrophic insurance policies to cover potential losses resulting from earthquakes.

Periodic power supply problems in California could harm our business.

     Our corporate headquarters, a portion of our research and development activities, other critical business operations and a certain number of our suppliers are located in California. California has experienced periodic power shortages. Power outages could cause disruptions to our operations and the operations of our suppliers, distributors, resellers and customers. We self-insure against such disruptions and do not carry catastrophic insurance policies to cover potential losses resulting from power shortages or outages. In addition, California has recently experienced rising energy costs that could negatively impact our results.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in our sales commitments, anticipated sales, and assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. We hedge future revenues using sales forecasts up to six months in advance, but do not attempt to hedge revenues in the medium term. Our exposure to exchange rate risks is managed on an enterprise-wide basis. This strategy utilizes derivative financial instruments, including option and forward contracts, to hedge certain foreign currency exposures, with the intent of offsetting gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures with gains and losses on the derivative contracts hedging them. We do not currently and do not intend to utilize derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

We performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in foreign exchange rates to the hedging contracts and the underlying exposures described above. As of January 31, 2002, the analysis indicated that these hypothetical market movements would not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
