The information furnished has not been audited and is subject to year-end adjustments. - 4 - Nucor Corporation - Analysis of Operations and Finances - ------------------------------------------------------- Operations - ---------- Net sales increased by 13% from the third quarter of 1999 to the third quarter of 2000, with approximately 60% of the increase resulting from an increase in sales volume and approximately 40% of the increase resulting from an increase in average sales prices. Net sales increased by 23% from the first nine months of 1999 to the first nine months of 2000, with more than half of the increase resulting from an increase in sales volume and the remainder of the increase resulting from an increase in sales prices. Average sales prices increased by approximately 5% from the third quarter of 1999 to the third quarter of 2000, and increased about 9% from the first nine months of 1999 to the first nine months of 2000. The major component of cost of products sold is raw material costs. The average price of raw materials increased 8% from the third quarter of 1999 to the third quarter of 2000, and increased 12% from the first nine months of 1999 to the first nine months of 2000. Major components of marketing, administrative and other expenses are freight and profit sharing costs. Unit freight costs increased less than 5% from the third quarter of 1999 to the third quarter of 2000 and from the first nine months of 1999 to the first nine months of 2000. Profit sharing costs remained unchanged from the third quarter of 1999 to the third quarter of 2000, and increased 70% from the first nine months of 1999 to the first nine months of 2000. Profit sharing costs are based upon and generally fluctuate with pre-tax earnings. Interest expense, net of interest income, increased from the third quarter of 1999 to the third quarter of 2000, due primarily to decreased average short-term investments. Interest income, net of interest expense, decreased from the first nine months of 1999 to the first nine months of 2000, as a result of increased long-term debt and decreased average short-term investments. Federal income taxes were at a rate of 35.5% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2000, and 36% for the third quarter and first nine months of 1999. Net earnings remained unchanged from the third quarter of 1999 to the third quarter of 2000, and increased from the first nine months of 1999 to the first nine months of 2000 due to increased margins and decreased pre-operating and start-up costs of new facilities. Gross margins were about 13% for the third quarter of 2000 and about 14% for the first nine months of 2000, compared with about 15% for the third quarter of 1999 and about 12% for the first nine months of 1999. Liquidity and capital resources - ------------------------------- The current ratio was 2.2 at the end of the first nine months of 2000, and 2.9 at year-end 1999. The percentage of long-term debt to total capital was close to 14% at the end of the first nine months of 2000, and about 13% at year-end 1999. Capital expenditures increased more than 55% during the first nine months of 2000, compared with the first nine months of 1999. Capital expenditures are projected to be about $400 million for all of 2000. Funds provided from operations, existing credit facilities, and new long-term debt are expected to be more than adequate to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements. Nucor's directors have approved the purchase of up to 15,000,000 shares of Nucor common stock. Nucor repurchased approximately 3,300,000 shares at a cost of about $122,000,000 during the third quarter of 2000, and repurchased approximately 9,300,000 shares at a cost of about $386,000,000 during the first nine months of 2000. Since the inception of the stock repurchase program, a total of approximately 10,400,000 shares have been repurchased at a total cost of approximately $432,000,000. - 5 - PART II - OTHER INFORMATION --------------------------- Item 1 - Legal Proceedings - -------------------------- Nucor has received notices of violation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), alleging that Nucor facilities have violated certain federal environmental laws and regulations. Negotiations between Nucor and the EPA have been ongoing regarding a resolution of these matters. During the third quarter of 2000, the EPA's state counterparts fined Nucor $750,000 in Nebraska for alleged Clean Air Act violations and $120,000 in Arkansas for alleged Resource Conservation and Recovery Act violations. Nucor is also involved in various other judicial and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Nucor does not believe that any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results or financial condition.
