PROPERTIES (CONTINUED) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS: Note L to the consolidated financial statements, included on page 41 of the Company's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders, is incorporated herein by this reference. TRADEMARKS: Safeway has invested significantly in the development and protection of the "Safeway" name. The right to use the "Safeway" name is considered to be an important asset. Safeway also owns approximately 250 other trademarks registered or pending in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, including its product line names such as Safeway, Safeway SELECT, Lucerne and Mrs. Wright's, and the marks Pak n' Save Foods, Vons, Pavilions, Dominick's, Carrs, Randalls, Tom Thumb and Genuardi's Family Markets. Each trademark registration is for an initial period of 10 or 20 years and is renewable for as long as the use of the trademark continues. Safeway considers certain of its trademarks to be of material importance to its business and actively defends and enforces such trademarks. Canada Safeway has also registered certain of its trademarks in Canada. WORKING CAPITAL: At year-end 2000, working capital deficit was composed of $3.2 billion of current assets and $3.8 billion of current liabilities. Normal operating fluctuations in these substantial balances can result in changes to cash flow from operations presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows that are not necessarily indicative of long-term operating trends. There are no unusual industry practices or requirements relating to working capital items. COMPETITION: Food retailing is intensely competitive. The number of competitors and the amount of competition experienced by Safeway's stores vary by market area. The principal competitive factors that affect the Company's business are location, quality, service, price and consumer loyalty to other brands and stores. Local, regional, and national food chains as well as independent food stores and markets comprise the Company's principal competition, although Safeway also faces substantial competition from convenience stores, liquor retailers, membership warehouse clubs, specialty retailers, supercenters, and large-scale drug and pharmaceutical chains. Safeway and its competitors engage in price competition which, from time to time, has adversely affected operating margins in many of the Company's markets. RAW MATERIALS: Various agricultural commodities constitute the principal raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its food products. Management believes that raw materials for its products are not in short supply, and all are readily available from a wide variety of independent suppliers. COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS: The Company's compliance with the federal, state, and local provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment has not had and is not expected to have a material adverse effect upon the financial position or results of operations of the Company. 4 5 ITEM 1. BUSINESS AND ITEM 2. PROPERTIES (CONTINUED) EMPLOYEES: At year-end 2000, Safeway had more than 192,000 full and part-time employees. Approximately 78% of Safeway's employees in the United States and Canada are covered by collective bargaining agreements negotiated with local unions affiliated with one of 12 different international unions. There are approximately 400 such agreements, typically having three-year terms, with some agreements having terms of up to five years. Accordingly, Safeway renegotiates a significant number of these agreements every year. During 2001, collective bargaining agreements covering employees in the Company's stores in Alberta, Washington and California come up for renewal. OTHER LABOR MATTERS: Employees of companies that operate certain of the Company's distribution centers in northern California, Maryland and Vancouver, British Columbia are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Summit Logistics, a company that operates the Company's northern California distribution center, was engaged in a 47-day strike during the fourth quarter of 2000 which had an unexpectedly large adverse effect on sales, product costs and distribution expenses at 246 Safeway stores in northern California, Nevada and Hawaii. Safeway estimates that the strike reduced 2000 net income by approximately $0.13 per share. Additional information concerning the strike is set forth under the caption "Financial Review" on pages 19 through 22 of the Company's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders and is incorporated herein by reference. During the last three years, there have been no other significant work stoppages affecting the employees of the Company or the operators of the Company's distribution centers. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES: Note L to the consolidated financial statements, included on page 41 of the Company's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders and incorporated herein by this reference, contains financial information by geographic area.
