MEASUREMENT BUSINESS PRODUCTS Because of their wide range of capabilities, measurement business products are used in a variety of applications, including research, design, testing, installation, manufacturing and service in the computer, television, telecommunications, process control, commercial aerospace, automotive and military industries. Tektronix pioneered the development of high precision oscilloscopes over 50 years ago, and the oscilloscope is the Company's primary measurement product. Oscilloscopes are used by engineers and technicians when an electrical signal needs to be viewed, measured, tested or calibrated. Oscilloscopes are used extensively in the computer, communications, aerospace and other industries for design, manufacturing and maintenance. In addition to electrical signals, oscilloscopes can be adapted to measure mechanical motion (vibration), sound, light, heat, pressure, strain and velocity. Oscilloscopes produce graphic representations of electrical signals on a cathode ray tube or other display device. Normally, the display shows the signal as a graph of its amplitude over a certain period of time, which may range from minutes to less than a billionth of a second. Oscilloscopes provide a convenient way to visually monitor and interpret analog electrical fluctuations, mechanical motion and sound. The development of the microprocessor and associated growth in microprocessor-based devices stimulated both the existing analog markets and new digital markets. In addition, the microprocessor made 1 possible significant improvements in oscilloscope design and performance. Many of the oscilloscopes and other measurement products manufactured by Tektronix feature digital storage and conversion functions, programmable operations, the ability to work in conjunction with personal computers and workstations and combinations of these capabilities. In addition, trends toward smaller microelectronic devices have opened new segments for specialized measurement equipment, such as connectors, probes, adapters, and cameras and plotters to record displayed wave- forms. Tektronix has designed a substantial portion of its oscilloscope product line to provide a consistent "architecture" across products and to enhance ease of use. Because the Company manufactures oscilloscopes in a wide range of configurations, bandwidths and other performance characteristics and in sizes ranging from hand-held to large laboratory units, this design provides customers with reduced learning time and higher productivity. The design also reduces the time required by the Company to develop new products because many essential user interface aspects have been standardized. Some elements of this design also have been patented and provide the Company with certain competitive advantages. The Company also offers modular instruments delivered on printed circuit cards that can be mixed and matched by customers and plugged directly into the backplane of industry-standard VXI-based card cages. These are controlled by personal computers or workstations to form complete instrument systems tailored to customers' particular requirements. A number of measurement products are now available in the VXI standard, which products are used primarily in manufacturing applications. Tektronix has been instrumental in the development of VXI-based hardware and software industry standards. Measurement business products also include video and audio test products. Video and audio test products include vectorscopes, waveform monitors, signal generators, automated test equipment, demodulators, and aural modulation monitors and synchronizers, which are used primarily by the television industry to test and display the quality of video and audio signals. The resolution of images and the fidelity of sounds, as well as the stability of the signals that carry them, are essential to program quality. Tektronix' video and audio test products excel at the many forms of test and measurement vital to creating and maintaining signals of the highest quality. With the transition to digital television and video compression, new products include an MPEG based signal generator and analyzer, and digital television test products. Market changes are driving the development of new categories of products from Tektronix. The proliferation of electronic technology requires technicians and field engineers to use smart electronic tools for servicing, maintaining and troubleshooting problems in electrical equipment. Tektronix' broad line of hand-held instruments, sold through distributors, are smart, rugged products designed specifically to address these needs. Tektronix offers a full range of sophisticated, easy-to-use handheld instruments, including digital multimeters and the award-winning TekScope-Registered Trademark- handheld oscilloscope/digital multimeter combination. Tektronix' handheld instruments range in suggested retail price from below $100 up to about $3,400. The Company also makes benchtop basic instruments. Applications include education, light manufacturing, electronic troubleshooting and basic electronic design. Logic analyzers are a principal tool for electronic designers, engineers and technicians in testing and trouble-shooting computers, computer peripheral devices and digital electronic systems and instruments. Logic analyzers capture, display and examine streams of data coded as binary digits (bits), which are transmitted simultaneously over many channels. The Company offers several lines of logic analyzers, including the 3000 Series, a standalone, mid-range analyzer targeted at medium sized designs, the newer TLA 500 Series, a high performance, mid-priced analyzer optimized for embedded software debug, the DAS-Registered Trademark- Digital Analysis System, a broad application logic analyzer that combines logic analysis and pattern generation by using card modular plug-in units to permit a range of performance in one system, and the new TLA 700 series, which incorporates Microsoft's Windows operating system and has a novel high speed 2 front-end and is designed specifically for engineers that design electronic products. DAS systems are also used by software engineers in the development and optimization of microprocessor-based designs. Spectrum analyzers are used in communications and other industries to display and measure signal amplitude versus frequency rather than amplitude versus time (the latter being what an oscilloscope typically displays). It is an essential tool used to design, check and adjust communications transmitting and receiving equipment. Products designed for the telecommunications industry play an increasingly important role in the Company's measurement business portfolio. Tektronix is a leading supplier of a broad range of test solutions for emerging networks, designed for ensuring integrity and optimizing performance of networks, and verifying design and assuring quality of communications equipment. Cable testers and fiber optic testers use time-domain-reflectometry techniques to locate faults in metallic and fiber optic cables. Essentially, these instruments send signals from one end of a cable and then measure the reflection time of the signals to determine the location of the fault. Cable testers and fiber optic testers are widely used in the telecommunication and cable television industries. The Company also provides RF test instruments for the cable television market, and has developed a series of products for SDH or SONET transmission testing in the telecommunications industry. The Company's September, 1997 acquisition of Siemens Communications Test Equipment GmbH extended Telecom Test Product offerings serving needs being created by the growth of the Internet and other telecommunications requirements. Tektronix also sells and supports German manufacturer Rohde & Schwarz' wireless communications and TV products in the United States and Canada, including the first measurement solutions for Personal Communications Services (PCS), mobile phones and base stations available to North American manufacturers. Tektronix' distributorship arrangement with Advantest, a Japanese instrument manufacturer, expands the Company's offering within North America and Mexico, adding more than 100 solutions to the communications test product portfolio. Other measurement business products include digitizers, signal sources, curve tracers, wireless and modular lines of general purpose test instruments. COLOR PRINTING AND IMAGING PRODUCTS Tektronix' color printing and imaging products include color printers and related products and supplies. Color printers produce full color hard copies of images produced by personal computers, workstations and terminals. The Company's Phaser-Registered Trademark- brand printers are compatible with the industry standard PostScript-Registered Trademark- page description language, which specifies how an image is transferred to hard copy. By adopting the Postscript standard, color printers can be used in conjunction with a wide range of third- party graphics software. Tektronix produces Phaser color printers using dye sublimation and laser technologies. In addition, Tektronix has developed a proprietary printing technology that uses sticks of solid ink, of the Company's own formulation, that are melted and then jetted onto the paper. This technology produces vivid and stable images, allows printing on plain rather than coated paper, and can be applied to a wide range of sizes and gauges of paper. Tektronix' printers are controlled by software designed and implemented by the Company. The use of color in computing and printing has been stimulated by enhancements in the underlying microprocessor technology of personal computers and workstations, by large system and peripheral storage capabilities, by enhancements in computer display capability, and by the increased use of the Internet. As personal computers increasingly become capable of displaying complex, colorful images, there has been an accompanying growth in demand for printers that can print such images in color. Tektronix has been manufacturing and selling color printers for over thirteen years. Early users were graphics artists, engineers and scientists. In recent years, workgroup office users have also become significant users of the Company's color printers. 3 In September of 1996, the Company introduced its Phaser 350 printer, followed in January of 1997 by the Phaser 360, and in July of 1997, its Phaser 560 printer. These are improved, follow-on products to the Phaser 340 introduced in 1995, and the Phaser 550 introduced in January of 1996. The Phaser 350 and Phaser 360 are solid-ink color printers combining laser-class speed, low cost per page, and high quality output. The Phaser 560 is a high-performance color laser printer. The Phaser 350, 360 and 560 printers are intended to broaden the appeal of color for the average business user and help move color into the office printing environment. In September of 1997, the Company introduced the Phaser 380 printer, a high-performance tabloid print size printer complimenting the Phaser 300x tabloid size printer and the Phaser 600 wide format printer. These are solid ink, high quality output color printers for the specialty graphics and office markets. The Phaser 600 printer prints vivid, saturated color on any paper up to 36 inches wide. The wide-format color printer targets two fast-expanding markets for large color prints: in-house departments (including design departments within Fortune 1000 companies, government, and advertising agencies) and "pay for print" businesses (including service bureaus, reprographic shops, color photo labs, and quick-print shops). In January of 1996, the Company introduced the Phaser 450 printer, an improved follow-on product to the Phaser 440. This printer produces photographic quality color prints using dye sublimation technology. The Phaser 480x, introduced in 1994, produces tabloid-size prints using similar technology. Both products are targeted to the specialty printing market. Also included in color printing and imaging products are supplies for use with the Company's color printers, including inks, toner, transfer ribbons, maintenance kits and media (paper and transparencies). These supplies are a very significant source of ongoing color printing and imaging revenue and profit. The Company also manufactures a scanner accessory that enables a color printer to function as a color copier. VIDEO AND NETWORKING PRODUCTS As television continues to move to digital, non-tape based technologies while expanding its offering content and distribution, markets have emerged for products capable of supporting development of content through the integration of computer applications. Those trends, coupled with the increasing use of cable and satellite to distribute content, are expanding the market for Tektronix' video products. These trends may result in increased demand for lower cost production products based on industry standard platforms and for systems that support the development and distribution of new forms of content. The Company's video products are produced at its facilities in Grass Valley, California and Beaverton, Oregon. Grass Valley-TM- products are used by the television industry for program production and distribution. Products include studio production equipment, signal processing, distribution equipment and transmission systems. Studio production equipment is used in the creative process of television program production and assembly. Production equipment products include production switchers, special effects devices and editing controllers. Production switchers allow an operator to select signals from various sources, such as cameras, video tape recorders and network or remote transmissions, and to combine these signals into the continuous program seen by the viewing audience. Signal processing and distribution equipment is used in the process of moving signals within a television production facility or between facilities. Such equipment includes routing switchers, amplifiers, timing systems and signal conversion devices. Transmission systems are used in the process of transporting signals between facilities. Transmission system products include fiber optic video transmitter/receiver systems, digital video coders/decoders, cross-connect switches and interactive conferencing systems including distance learning systems. Customers for Grass Valley products include the television networks, local television stations, post-production houses (which assemble commercials and television programs from recorded footage), telephone and cable companies and corporate and educational users. Tektronix U.K. Development Centre Limited (previously named Lightworks Editing Systems Limited), a United Kingdom subsidiary of the Company, designs, manufactures and distributes non-linear 4 editing systems used for film and video editing. Video products also include the Company's Profile-Registered Trademark- disk-based, multi-channel video storage and playback system. In contrast to conventional tape storage technology, the Profile system provides instant access to stored video images and better reliability due to the durability of the media. The Company's line of professional video disk recording products is manufactured at its facility in Beaverton, Oregon. High-speed computer networking interfaces sold by the Company allow the connection of a number of Profile disk recorders to allow sharing of material between multiple users. Customers for these products include major television networks, local broadcast stations, satellite program providers and postproduction companies. The Company's main networking product is a line of network computers, which are X windows-based graphics terminals that provide multiple windowing and networking capability. Also commonly referred to as X terminals, network computers allow users to communicate with one or more host computers and other devices such as printers, that make up a networked computing system. Most applications include a central "server" (containing applications and data) connected to multiple network computers, thereby allowing a number of users to access those applications and data. The Company no longer manufactures its older line of proprietary graphics terminals, but it still has a service business for its installed base of such products. This service business has continually declined as the installed base of these proprietary graphics terminals declines. The Company's networking products also include WinDD-TM- software, which allows network computer users on a Unix-Registered Trademark- network to run Microsoft Windows based applications in native mode (that is, without translation or emulation). The Company produces the NewStar-TM- line of television newsroom computer systems. These products provide a complete computer based environment for the collection, management and presentation of television news stories. They provide management of incoming wire service and video feeds, computerized script development and story lineup for transmission to air. EditStar-TM-, a combination of the NewStar journalist software and the Company's Profile video disk recorder, provides a unique tool for concurrent editing of the script and video. Customers for NewStar systems include large and small television news operations worldwide. The Company has formed a separate business unit, called VideoTele.com, to sell products to service providers wanting to move video signals over telecommunications networks. MANUFACTURING During fiscal 1994, the Company sold its integrated circuits operation to Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. and transferred its hybrid circuits operation to a joint venture with Maxim, and in early 1995 completed the sale of approximately 65% of the stock of its printed circuit board operation in the initial public offering of Merix Corporation. As a result of these activities and other component operation divestitures, the Company's manufacturing operations are no longer highly integrated. The Company purchases products from each of the companies now operating the respective component operations. Tektronix also purchases raw materials, additional components, data processing equipment and computer peripheral devices for use in its products and systems. The Company purchases raw materials and additional components of its products from a variety of third party suppliers. Such purchased materials and components are generally available to Tektronix as needed. Although shortages are experienced from time to time, the Company currently believes that it will be able to acquire the required components as needed. Because some of these components are unique, disruptions in supply can have an effect on Company operations. Tektronix owns substantially all of its manufacturing facilities. Its primary manufacturing facilities are located in or near the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. Some software and product development occurs in Madison, Wisconsin, Boston, Massachusetts, London, U.K., and Bangalore, India. Some of 5 Tektronix' products, components and accessories are assembled in the Peoples Republic of China. A logistics center is maintained in Heerenveen, The Netherlands. Grass Valley products are manufactured in Nevada City, California. A color printer component manufacturing plant is located in Penang, Malaysia. Telecommunications test products are manufactured at a plant in Berlin acquired in connection with the Siemens purchase described above. See Item 2, "Properties", for additional information regarding the Company's manufacturing facilities. Certain Tektronix products are manufactured for the Japanese market at a plant in Gotemba, Japan by Sony/Tektronix Corporation, a Japanese corporation equally owned by Tektronix and Sony Corporation. Sony/Tektronix also designs and manufactures arbitrary waveform and function generators and benchtop semiconductor testers in Japan for sale worldwide by Tektronix. In June of 1998, the Company purchased certain assets of CAM Advanced Technologies (M) Sdn Bhd, a printer component manufacturer with manufacturing facilities in Penang, Malaysia. The acquisition adds lower cost color printer component manufacturing capacity. SALES AND DISTRIBUTION Tektronix maintains its own worldwide sales and field maintenance organization, staffed with technically trained personnel. Sales in the United States, Canada, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Australia, Austria, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, China, India and Mexico are made through the Company and its subsidiaries and their field offices or distribution channels located in principal market areas. In most countries, all sales are made either directly by Tektronix or by independent distributors to whom Tektronix provides direct technical and administrative assistance. Certain of the Company's independent distributors also sell products manufactured by the Company's competitors. Sales of joint venture products in the Peoples Republic of China are made by three companies which are joint ventures between Tektronix and three different Peoples Republic of China corporations. Except for Grass Valley products, sales in Japan are made by Sony/Tektronix Corporation. A number of the Tektronix field offices in the U.S. also perform major maintenance and reconditioning operations. Tektronix' principal customers are electronic and computer equipment manufacturers and service providers, private industrial concerns engaged in commercial or governmental projects, military and nonmilitary agencies of the United States and of foreign countries, public utilities, educational institutions, radio and television stations and networks, graphics arts companies and users of sophisticated office products. Certain products are sold both to equipment users and to original equipment manufacturers. Most Tektronix product sales are sold as standard catalog items. Tektronix attempts to fill its orders as promptly as possible. At May 30, 1998, Tektronix' unfilled product orders amounted to approximately $134 million, as compared to approximately $175 million at May 31, 1997. Tektronix expects that substantially all unfilled product orders at May 30, 1998 will be filled during its current fiscal year. Orders received by the Company are subject to cancellation by the customer. INTERNATIONAL SALES The following table sets forth the breakdown between U.S. and international sales, based upon purchaser location, for each of the last three fiscal years (in thousands of dollars):
U.S. SALES INTERNATIONAL SALES ------------------- ------------------- AMOUNT PERCENT AMOUNT PERCENT ---------- ------- ---------- ------- 1996................................. $ 890,930 50.4% $ 877,928 49.6% 1997................................. $1,027,294 53.0% $ 912,788 47.0% 1998................................. $1,077,649 51.7% $1,008,153 48.3%
6 See "Business Segments" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements at page 28 of the Company's 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders, containing information on sales, operating income and assets by geographic area based upon the location of the seller, which is incorporated by reference. Tektronix products are sold worldwide. European sales are made principally in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and The Netherlands. Other international sales are principally in Japan, Korea, Canada, Australia, the People's Republic of China and Hong Kong. International sales include both export sales from the United States and sales by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Fluctuating exchange rates and other factors beyond the control of Tektronix, such as the stability of international monetary conditions, tariff and trade policies and domestic and foreign tax and economic policies, affect the level and profitability of international sales. The Company does not believe it is materially exposed to exchange rate fluctuation, although the Company is unable to predict the effect of these factors on its business. The Company hedges against certain currency exposures in order to minimize their impact. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Tektronix operates in an industry characterized by rapid technological change and research and development are important elements in its business. Expenditures during fiscal years ended May 25, 1996, May 31, 1997, and May 30, 1998 for research and development amounted to approximately $164,292,000, $188,192,000, and $203,312,000 respectively. Almost all of these funds were Company generated. Research and development activities are conducted by research and design groups and specialized product development groups within the three product groups. These activities include: (i) research on basic devices and techniques (ii) the design and development of products and components and specialized equipment and (iii) the development of processes needed for production. Most of Tektronix' research and development is devoted to enhancing and developing its own products. PATENTS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY It is Tektronix' policy to seek patents in the United States and appropriate foreign countries for its significant patentable developments. However, electronic equipment as complex as most of Tektronix' products is generally not patentable in its entirety. The Company also seeks to protect significant trademarks and software through trademark and copyright registration. The Company has entered into license arrangements for components important to the manufacturing of some of its printers. The Company's printer business relies on an integrated strategy of licensed and internally developed technology to produce its industry leading products. This technology includes software, equipment, printing process and ink developments. As with any company whose business involves intellectual property, Tektronix is subject to claims of infringement. There are no material pending claims. COMPETITION The electronics industry continues to become more competitive, both in the United States and abroad. Primary competitive factors are product performance, technology, customer service, product availability and price. Tektronix believes that its reputation in the marketplace is a significant positive competitive factor. With respect to many of its products, the Company competes with companies that have substantially larger resources. Tektronix is the world's largest manufacturer of oscilloscopes and no single competitor offers as complete a product line. The Company is also the leader in sales of test and measurement equipment for the television industry. Tektronix competes with a number of companies in specialized areas of other test and measurement products, and it competes with one very large company that sells a broad line of test and measurement products. Tektronix is also the leader in unit sales of office workgroup laser-class color printers, including color laser and solid ink jet color printers. While the market for color printers is currently growing rapidly, it is 7 still much smaller than the market for monochrome printers. Moreover, it is characterized by intense and increasing competition, resulting in a competitive pricing environment. Because the market for color hard copy is still small compared to the market for monochrome printers, distribution of products from manufacturer to end user is less efficient. The Company expects distribution channels to expand as color hard copy becomes a more prominent feature in computer applications. Tektronix competes with a number of large, worldwide electronics firms that manufacture specialized equipment for the television industry, both with respect to its television test and measurement products and its Grass Valley products. Grass Valley products include leading high-performance production switchers and high-performance distribution/processing equipment. Tektronix is a leading supplier of network computers. Network computer products are based on standard architecture originally developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Consequently, it is difficult for any manufacturer to develop a proprietary advantage in either the underlying hardware or in elements of the operating system, and competition in the netstation market is accordingly intense. Tektronix is the leading supplier of multi-channel disk-based recording devices to the professional television industry. The Company expects this market to experience significant growth as broadcasters and other professional video users replace video tape recorders with disk-based products. EMPLOYEES At May 30, 1998, Tektronix had 8,630 employees, of whom 2,258 were located in foreign countries. Tektronix' employees in the United States and most foreign countries are not covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Company believes that relations with its employees are good. ENVIRONMENT The Company's facilities are subject to numerous laws and regulations concerning the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to protection of the environment. The Company operates a licensed hazardous waste management facility at its Beaverton campus. Although future regulatory actions cannot be predicted with certainty, compliance with environmental laws has not had and is not expected to have a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company.

("Tektronix"), entered into a Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement. By action of the Board on June 16, 1998, the Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement is hereby amended as follows: Paragraph 3.1 (d) "Final Average Pay," is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: (d) "Final Average Pay" means the average total cash compensation for the highest three of the last five consecutive twelve month periods immediately preceding Executive's retirement or termination as a Tektronix' employee. Total cash compensation for this purpose consists of base pay, profit share and any incentive compensation, plus any amounts deferred at the election of executive under any deferred compensation plan of Tektronix. Except as specifically amended herein, the Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement dated October 24, 1990 shall remain in full force and effect. Tektronix, Inc. By:_______________________ ____________________________ James F. Dalton Jerome J. Meyer Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary EX-13 3 EXHIBIT 13 Management Review RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Tektronix had record sales and orders for its fiscal year ended May 30, 1998. Net earnings for 1998 were $82.3 million, or $1.60 per diluted share. Net earnings in 1997 of $114.8 million, or $2.29 per share, increased 15% over fiscal 1996 earnings of $99.6 million, or $1.95 per share. Fiscal year 1998 earnings included pre-tax non- recurring charges of $79.0 million related to the $60.0 million restructuring of the Video and Networking Division, $17.0 million of acquired in-process research and development and $2.0 million of integration costs associated with the acquisition of Siemens' Communications Test Equipment GmbH (CTE). Excluding the non-recurring charges, fiscal year 1998 earnings would have been $135.2 million, or $2.63 per share, an increase of 18% over fiscal year 1997 earnings. NET SALES AND PRODUCT ORDERS Net sales in 1998 were $2.086 billion, an 8% increase over 1997 sales of $1.940 billion. Growth in the Measurement Business and Color Printing and Imaging Divisions offset the slower sales of the Video and Networking Division as product lines were streamlined. Sales to customers in the United States of $1.078 billion were 5% above the level for the prior year, and represented 52% of total sales. International sales rose 10%, from $912.8 million to $1.008 billion, with strong sales growth in Europe at $548.8 million, up $43.5 million or 9% from 1997, and in the Americas at $114.7 million, up $36.5 million or 47% from 1997. Sales to the Pacific region, excluding Japan, were up 3% to $209.0 million in 1998 from $202.4 million in 1997. Sales to Japan were up 7% to $135.6 million in 1998. Net sales in 1997 were 10% higher than they were in 1996. U.S. sales of $1.027 billion in 1997 were 15% above those of the prior year. Product orders for 1998 were $1.912 billion, an increase of 5% over 1997 orders of $1.829 billion. Orders in 1996 were $1.658 billion. The following table summarizes the Company's net sales for the last three years by its three business divisions:
IN THOUSANDS 1998 1997 1996 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Measurement Business $ 962,858 $ 852,827 $ 812,250 Color Printing and Imaging 728,697 638,456 561,642 Video and Networking 394,247 448,799 394,966
Measurement Business sales of $962.9 million in 1998 represented 46% of total sales and grew 13% from 1997. Growth in 1998 was driven by sales of the TLA 700 logic analyzer and telecommunications test products. Measurement Business sales in 1997 were 5% higher than in 1996 due to the introduction of new logic analyzer products and the TDS 200 oscilloscope during the second half of the year. Product orders in 1998 were $860.9 million, compared to $795.2 million in 1997 and $754.0 million in 1996. Color Printing and Imaging sales increased 14%, from sales of $638.5 million in 1997 to $728.7 million in 1998. The introduction of three new printers during the year (the Phaser 560, Phaser 380, and Phaser 360) and increased sales of printing supplies drove growth in sales and orders. Color Printing and Imaging sales accounted for 35% of total sales in 1998 compared to 33% in 1997. Sales in 1997 increased 14% over 1996, due to the introduction of the Phaser 350 in that year and continued demand for the Phaser 550. Product orders rose 13% to $687.3 million in 1998 from $607.5 million in 1997. Product orders were $531.1 million in 1996. Video and Networking sales in 1998 of $394.2 million were 12% lower than in 1997 due to a reduction in product offerings through the elimination of certain non-profitable product lines as well as general weakness in the broadcast market. In addition, 1997 sales were particularly strong in the netstation business, including two significant installations of networked computers that year. The decline was tempered by continued sales growth of the Profile PDR 200 professional video server. Sales increased 14%, from $395.0 million in 1996 to $448.8 million in 1997, due to strength in Profile video disk recorders and networked computers. Product orders were $363.8 million in 1998, down 15% from orders of $426.4 million in 1997. Product orders in 1996 were $372.4 million. OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES Gross margin was 41.5% of sales in 1998. Excluding non-recurring charges, gross margin would have been 43.3% of sales, an increase from 42.9% in 1997 due to cost management across all three divisions, streamlining in Video and Networking to focus on profitable products, and cost savings as a result of the restructuring of that business. Non-recurring charges decreased reported gross margin due to $38.5 million of Video and Networking inventory written off as part of the restructuring of that business. Gross margins increased to 42.9% in 1997, from 41.9% in 1996, due to an improved mix of higher margin supplies sales in Color Printing and Imaging and lower manufacturing costs in Video and Networking. Research and development expenses were 9.7% of sales in 1998 and 1997 and 9.3% of sales in 1996 at $203.3 million, $188.2 million and $164.3 million, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $508.7 million, or 24.4% of sales, in 1998 compared to $481.1 million, or 24.8% of sales, in 1997 and $437.9 million, or 24.8% of sales, in 1996. Page 18 Operating margin was 5.5% of sales in 1998. Excluding non-recurring charges, operating margins continued an increasing trend, rising to 9.3% in 1998 from 8.5% in 1997 and 8.1% in 1996. Increasing gross margins and continued focus on cost management contributed to the increase in 1998. The improvement in 1997 was due primarily to higher gross margins, partly offset by higher research and development spending and lower equity in business ventures' earnings. Interest expense decreased 17% to $10.1 million due to a decrease in both long-term and short-term debt balances in 1998. Interest expense was $12.1 million in 1997, 13% less than the $14.0 million in 1996. Other income was $17.6 million in 1998 compared with other income of $15.9 million in 1997 and $12.9 million in 1996. The improvement primarily reflected higher gains on sales of equity securities in other companies. The Company continues to hold equity positions that it intends to liquidate over time. The Company's effective tax rate for 1998 was 33%, compared to 32% in 1997 and 30% in 1996. FINANCIAL CONDITION OVERVIEW Tektronix continues to focus on improving the efficient management of the capital invested in its business. To monitor that progress, the Company uses the economic value added (EVA) measure. EVA is determined by the Company by deducting taxes and a cost of capital charge from operating income, excluding non-recurring charges, which management believes provides an objective means of determining if the Company's earnings are able to cover the cost of financing its invested capital. Invested capital is the average net assets of the Company excluding cash and debt. The Company generated EVA of $40.6 million in 1998, compared to $21.8 million in 1997 and $11.9 million in 1996. The improvement in 1998 is a result of both the strong earnings for the year, exclusive of non-recurring charges, and continued improvements in invested capital, as average accounts receivable and average inventories both decreased from 1997. LIQUIDITY The Company's financial condition continues to be strong. Cash flows from operating activities and borrowing capacity are expected to be sufficient to fund capital expenditures for fiscal year 1999, currently estimated to be slightly less than 1998 expenditures. Cash provided by operations of $167.8 million in 1998 was sufficient to fund capital expenditures for increased manufacturing capacity. The Company expects that cash payments required to carry out the remaining restructuring activities will be approximately $8.0 million. At May 30, 1998, the Company maintained bank credit facilities totaling $307.6 million, of which $303.1 million was unused. Unused facilities include $153.1 million in lines of credit and $150.0 million under a revolving credit agreement from United States and foreign banks. Additional details, including maturity dates of agreements and certain financial covenants, are included under "Short-term and Long-term Debt" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. BALANCE SHEET Current assets decreased by $2.8 million from 1997. Cash decreased $22.2 million as funds were expended to invest in facilities for continued growth of Color Printing and Imaging and for the acquisition of CTE. Accounts receivable increased by $40.5 million, due in part to an increase in year over year sales in the fourth quarter. Average days sales outstanding for the year improved from 54.6 days in 1997 to 51.1 days in 1998. Inventories decreased by $23.7 million as Video and Networking streamlined product offerings allowing for significantly lower inventory requirements. Color Printing and Imaging inventories were down slightly for the year despite increasing sales and orders. Net property, plant and equipment increased by $82.0 million due to capital expenditures of $155.1 million in 1998, primarily related to the expansion of manufacturing capacity for Color Printing and Imaging. Net deferred tax assets increased $21.9 million due to timing differences related to restructuring activities and a decline in the deferred tax liability related to unrealized holding gains as securities were sold and market prices on the remaining holdings declined. Other long-term assets declined by $31.7 million due to the disposition of certain of the Company's available-for-sale securities, offset by the acquisition of identified intangibles. Current liabilities increased by $45.7 million primarily due to increases in trade payables, accrued compensation for incentive plans, and accruals related to the remaining restructuring activities. Shareholders' equity increased by $13.6 million, or 2%, over 1997. Earnings net of dividends of $59.1 million was offset by a decrease in unrealized holding gains of $28.7 million and a decrease in the currency adjustment of $13.6 million. DERIVATIVES AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE The Company has exposure to interest-rate risk, primarily from its use of short-term and long-term borrowings to finance operations, and to investment risk, primarily from its equity investment portfolio. The Company has not entered into any derivatives to hedge against these interest-rate or investment risks. The Company is also exposed to exchange-rate risk on transactions and commitments denominated in foreign currencies and uses foreign exchange contracts to mitigate this risk. Changes in foreign exchange rates are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company's policy is to only enter into derivative transactions when the company has an identifiable exposure to risk, and to only enter into such transactions with creditworthy financial institutions. Page 19 FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 130 establishes requirements for disclosure of comprehensive income and becomes effective for the first quarter ending August 1998. Reclassification of earlier financial statements for comparative purposes is required. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for disclosure about operating segments in annual financial statements and selected information in interim financial reports. The new disclosures will first be presented in the Company's annual report for the fiscal year ending May 1999. Information presented for earlier years will be restated for comparative purposes. Adoption of these statements may result in additional disclosures but will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS NO. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new statement will require recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The new statement is effective for fiscal year 2001, but early adoption is encouraged. Management has not completed an evaluation of the effects this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. YEAR 2000 In connection with the Company's ongoing program to standardize and upgrade its key internal financial, information and operational systems, an assessment has been made of the ability of these systems to operate in, and to process transactions and data involving, the year 2000 and beyond. The Company believes that all key internal systems that are not already year 2000 ready will be modified, upgraded or replaced prior to the year 2000. The Company is currently engaged in assessing the capability of its products to handle the transition to and operate in the year 2000, and has a plan in place to address product issues prior to the year 2000. The Company is working with major suppliers and customers to resolve year 2000 interface issues. Management believes that the cost of these projects over the next two years will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, because of the existence of numerous systems and related components within the Company and the interdependency of these systems, it is possible that certain systems at the Company, or systems at entities that provide services or goods for the Company, may fail to operate in the year 2000. Although it is not currently anticipated, the inability to complete the Company's year 2000 plans on a timely basis or the failure of a system at the Company or at an entity that provides services or goods to the Company may have a material impact on future operating results or financial condition. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements and information included in the Chairman's letter and Management Review and elsewhere in this report that relate to the Company's goals, strategies and expectations as to future results and events are based on the Company's current expectations. They constitute forward looking statements subject to a number of risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently expected or desired. As with many high technology companies, risk factors that could cause the Company's actual results or activities to differ materially from these forward looking statements include, but are not limited to: worldwide economic and business conditions in the electronics industry, including the continuing effect of the Asian economic crisis on demand for the Company's products; competitive factors, including pricing pressures, technological developments and products offered by competitors; changes in product and sales mix, and the related effects on gross margins; the Company's ability to deliver a timely flow of competitive new products, and market acceptance of these products; the availability of parts and supplies from third party suppliers on a timely basis and at reasonable prices; inventory risks due to changes in market demand or the Company's business strategies; changes in effective tax rates; customer demand; currency fluctuations; the fact that a substantial portion of the Company's sales are generated from orders received during the quarter, making prediction of quarterly revenues and earnings difficult; and other risk factors listed from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission reports and in press releases. Additional risk factors specific to the Company's current plans and expectations that could cause the Company's actual results or activities to differ materially from those stated include: the significant operational issues the Company faces in executing its strategy in Video and Networking; the timely introduction of new products scheduled during the Company's fiscal year, which could be affected by engineering or other development program slippages, the ability to ramp up production or to develop effective sales channels; the customers' acceptance of, and demand for, those products; and changes in the regulatory environment affecting the transition to high- definition television within the time frame anticipated by the Company. Forward looking statements in this report speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward looking statements which may be made to reflect subsequent events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Page 20 Management's Letter The consolidated financial statements of Tektronix, Inc. and subsidiaries have been prepared by management and have been audited by Tektronix' independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP, as stated in their independent auditors' report.

MCPEAK Chairman, Audit Committee /s/ CARL W. NEUN CARL W. NEUN Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Independent Auditors' Report TO THE DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF TEKTRONIX, INC.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tektronix, Inc. and subsidiaries as of May 30, 1998 and May 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended May 30, 1998, May 31, 1997, and May 25, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tektronix, Inc. and subsidiaries at May 30, 1998 and May 31, 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended May 30, 1998, May 31, 1997, and May 25, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. Page 25 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ACCOUNTING POLICIES THE COMPANY Tektronix, Inc. ("Tektronix" or "the Company") is a global high- technology company based on a portfolio of measurement, color printing, and video and networking businesses. Headquartered in Wilsonville, Oregon, Tektronix employs more than 8,600 people and maintains operations in 25 countries outside the United States. Tektronix was founded in 1946. FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tektronix and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in joint ventures and minority-owned companies where the Company exercises significant influence are accounted for on the equity basis. Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain items have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation with no effect on previously reported earnings. The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is based on the average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential shares issuable upon assumed exercise of outstanding stock options based on the treasury stock method. All share, per share and option amounts have been restated to give effect to the three-for-two stock split effective October 31, 1997. FISCAL YEAR The Company's fiscal year is the 52 or 53 weeks ending the last Saturday in May. Fiscal years 1998 and 1996 were 52 weeks; fiscal year 1997 was 53 weeks. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION For most non-U.S. subsidiaries, the local currency is the functional currency, and, therefore, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and net earnings are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of net assets are reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net earnings. DERIVATIVES Gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts used to hedge existing assets and liabilities are recognized in income in the period in which the related hedged transaction occurs. Gains and losses related to hedges of firm commitments are deferred and included in the basis of the hedged transaction when it is completed. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts, which was $4.8 million in 1998 and $3.1 million in 1997. The charges to this reserve have not been material. On September 10, 1996, the Company entered into a five-year revolving receivable purchase agreement with Citibank NA to sell, without recourse, an undivided interest of up to $50.0 million in a defined pool of trade accounts receivable. Receivables of $50.0 million sold under this agreement were reflected as operating cash flows in the Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended May 31, 1997. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from ten to forty years for buildings and three to seven years for machinery and equipment, and is generally provided using the straight-line method.

Page 26 INVESTMENTS Investments in marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair market value in the consolidated balance sheets as other long-term assets. The unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported, net of deferred income taxes, as a separate component of shareholders' equity. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets are included as other long-term assets at cost. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over periods generally not exceeding fifteen years. Long-lived assets and intangibles are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate costs may not be recoverable. If impairment exists, the asset's book value will be written down to its fair value. INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes, reflecting the impact of temporary differences between the assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and amounts recognized for tax purposes, are based on tax laws currently enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS The Company accrues environmental costs when it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the amount can be reasonably estimated. FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 130 establishes requirements for disclosure of comprehensive income and becomes effective for the first quarter ending August 1998. Reclassification of earlier financial statements for comparative purposes is required. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for disclosure about operating segments in annual financial statements and selected information in interim financial reports. The new disclosures will first be presented in the Company's annual report for the fiscal year ending May 1999. Information presented for earlier years will be restated for comparative purposes. Adoption of these statements may result in additional disclosures but will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new statement will require recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The new statement becomes effective in fiscal year 2001, but early adoption is encouraged. Management has not completed an evaluation of the effects this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. RESTRUCTURING In the second quarter of 1998, the Company announced and began to implement a restructuring plan designed to return the Video and Networking business to profitability. A pre-tax provision of $60.0 million was recorded to account for these actions, which included streamlining its product offerings and reducing the unit's cost structure to increase operational efficiency. The plan has resulted in the separation of certain employees worldwide and the exiting of certain facilities and product lines at an expected total cost of $21.5 million. These costs are included in non-recurring charges for the year ended May 30, 1998 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, the decision to streamline product offerings required a $38.5 million write-down of inventories, which is included in cost of sales for the year ended May 30, 1998 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. ACQUISITION On September 30, 1997, the Company acquired Siemens' Communications Test Equipment GmbH (CTE), a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens AG based in Berlin, Germany, for $46.6 million in cash, including direct acquisition costs. The transaction was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the results of operations of CTE have been included in the Company's financial statements since the date of acquisition. Pro forma comparative results of operations are not presented because they are not materially different from the Company's reported results of operations. The purchase price was allocated as follows:
IN THOUSANDS 1998 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Fair value of identified net assets acquired $ 6,600 Acquired in-process research and development 17,000 Identified intangibles 23,000 ----------- Total purchase price $ 46,600 ===========
Acquired in-process research and development of $17.0 million was expensed in the second quarter of the current year (see Non-recurring Charges below). The identified intangibles include $18.0 million of completed technology and $5.0 million of workforce-in-place and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. NON-RECURRING CHARGES
IN THOUSANDS 1998 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Restructuring of the Video and Networking Division $ 59,960 In-process research and development acquired in the purchase of CTE 17,000 Integration costs associated with the purchase of CTE 2,000 ----------- Total non-recurring charges 78,960 Inventory write-down included in cost of sales (38,482) ----------- Non-recurring charges $ 40,478 ===========

The Company's portion of the undistributed earnings of the business ventures was $20.7 million in 1998 and $20.2 million in 1997. Proceeds from the sales of marketable equity securities in 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $37.0 million, $33.8 million and $23.3 million, respectively. Realized gains were computed based on the average cost of the underlying securities and are disclosed in the "Other Income - Net" note. At the end of 1998, 1997 and 1996, unrealized holding gains of $12.9 million, $58.8 million and $67.2 million (less deferred taxes of $5.0 million, $22.1 million and $26.9 million), respectively, were included as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Licensing agreements and other intangibles have been reduced by accumulated amortization of $25.3 million at fiscal year-end 1998 and $17.5 million at fiscal year-end 1997. Property held for sale is stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell and includes certain properties no longer used in the Company's operations.

Unused facilities include $153.1 million in lines of credit and $150.0 million under the revolving credit agreement. A $20.0 million line of credit expires in October 1998 with all remaining lines providing no specific expiration date. The Company's long-term debt consisted of:

Certain of the Company's debt agreements require the maintenance of specified interest rate coverage ratios and a minimum consolidated tangible net worth. At May 30, 1998, the Company had unrestricted retained earnings of $156.9 million after meeting those requirements. Aggregate long-term debt payments will be $1.0 million in 1999, $0.6 million in 2000, $0.1 million in 2001, none in 2002 and $50.0 million in 2003. OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving patent infringement and other intellectual property claims. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company and its subsidiaries will ultimately be successful in any of these legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be, the Company believes that disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has stock option plans for selected employees. There were 4,974,000 shares reserved for issuance under these plans at May 30, 1998. Under the terms of the plans, incentive stock options are granted at an option price not less than the market value at the date of grant. Nonqualified stock options may not be granted at less than 100% of the market value on the valuation date selected by the Board of Directors. Options granted prior to January 1, 1997, generally vest over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. Most options granted after January 1, 1997, vest over two years and expire five years from the date of grant. There were 1,172 employees holding options at May 30, 1998.

The Company accounts for stock options according to APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under APB No. 25, no compensation expense is recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements for employee stock options because the exercise price of the options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Alternatively, under the fair value method of accounting provided for by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the measurement of compensation cost is based on the fair value of employee stock options at the grant date and requires the use of option pricing models to value the options. The weighted average estimated fair value of options granted during 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $12, $11 and $10 per share, respectively. The Company also has plans for certain executives and outside directors that provide stock-based compensation other than options. Under APB No. 25, compensation cost for these plans is measured based on the market price of the stock at the date the terms of the award become fixed. Under the fair value approach of SFAS No. 123, compensation cost is measured based on the market price of the stock at the grant date. The weighted average grant-date fair value of the shares granted under these plans during 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $41, $31 and $25 per share, respectively. The total shares granted under these plans and the compensation cost recognized in income were not material. The pro forma impact to both net earnings and earnings per share from calculating stock-related compensation cost consistent with the fair value alternative of SFAS No. 123 is indicated below:
1998 1997 1996 ------------------------------ Pro forma net earnings (in thousands) $ 74,520 $ 109,240 $ 97,015 Pro forma earnings per share - basic $ 1.48 $ 2.21 $ 1.95 diluted 1.45 2.17 1.90
The fair value of each option was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
1998 1997 1996 ------------------------------ Expected life (in years) 3.0 5.0 5.0 Risk-free interest rate 5.8% 6.3% 5.7% Volatility 40.0% 35.2% 33.9% Dividend yield 1.2% 1.3% 1.4%
For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the stock-based awards is amortized over the vesting period. Because SFAS No. 123 is applicable only to awards granted after May 27, 1995, the pro forma effect will not be fully reflected until 1999. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AGREEMENT In August 1990, the Company's Board of Directors approved a shareholder rights agreement and declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding common share. Each right entitles the holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of no par preferred stock at an exercise price of $60, subject to adjustment. Generally, the rights become exercisable ten days after a person or group acquires or commences a tender offer that would result in beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the common shares. In addition, the rights become exercisable if any party becomes the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding common shares and is determined by the Board to be an adverse party. Upon the Page 30 occurrence of certain additional events specified in the shareholder rights agreement, each right would entitle its holder to purchase common shares of the Company (or, in some cases, a potential acquiring company) or other property having a value of twice the right's exercise price. The rights, which are not currently exercisable, expire in September 2000, but may be redeemed by action of the Board prior to that time, under certain circumstances, for $0.01 per right. BENEFIT PLANS PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS The Company has defined benefit retirement plans covering most employees. The U.S. pension plan was amended in 1998, converting it from a final average pay plan to a cash balance plan. Under the new plan, an initial account was established for all participants who were active employees as of December 31, 1997. Beginning January 1, 1998, a specified percentage of eligible compensation will be credited to each participant's account. In addition, each participant's account will earn interest credits, based on the one-year Treasury Bill rate plus 0.5%. Upon separation from Tektronix, participating employees may choose to have their account balances paid to them in the form of a lump sum amount or as an annuity. As a result of this plan amendment, the pension benefit obligation was reduced by $38.9 million, which is being amortized as a reduction in pension expense over the average remaining service period of the active participants in the plan. For 1998, the Company increased the expected long-term rate of return assumption to reflect historical rates of return on plan assets. As a result of this change, pension expense in 1998 was reduced by $3.8 million. The retirement rate assumption was also revised to reflect actual demographic experience. As a result of this change, the pension benefit obligation as of May 30, 1998, was increased by $5.5 million. Finally, upon transition to the cash balance plan on January 1, 1998, the discount rate was reduced to reflect current market conditions. The impact of this change was to increase the pension benefit obligation by $63.9 million. The following tables provide information about changes in the benefit obligation and plan assets and the funded status of the Company's pension and postretirement benefit plans.
PENSION BENEFITS POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS IN THOUSANDS 1998 1997 1998 1997 - ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------- CHANGE IN BENEFIT OBLIGATION Beginning balance $ 495,945 $ 512,270 $ 15,070 $ 16,952 Service cost 14,161 11,897 188 177 Interest cost 37,829 37,430 1,145 1,244 Actuarial (gain) loss 68,544 (35,106) 1,252 (1,209) Plan amendments (38,882) (3,527) - - CTE acquisition 2,732 - - - Benefit payments (25,036) (22,934) (1,711) (2,094) Other adjustments (1,565) (4,085) - - ----------------------------------------------- Ending balance 553,728 495,945 15,944 15,070 =============================================== CHANGE IN FAIR VALUE OF PLAN ASSETS Beginning balance 474,222 402,715 - - Actual return 86,512 55,611 - - Employer contributions 4,379 41,437 - - Benefit payments (25,036) (22,934) - - Other adjustments (1,349) (2,607) - - ----------------------------------------------- Ending balance 538,728 474,222 - - =============================================== Net unfunded status of the plan 15,000 21,723 15,944 15,070 Unrecognized initial net asset (obligation) (124) 1,735 - - Unrecognized prior service cost 46,320 9,834 16,026 18,697 Unrecognized net gain (loss) (37,414) (8,141) 9,112 11,110 ----------------------------------------------- Net liability recognized $ 23,782 $ 25,151 $ 41,082 $ 44,877 ===============================================
The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and fair value of plan assets for certain non-U.S. plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $18.7 million, $17.2 million and zero, respectively, for 1998, and $15.2 million, $13.1 million and zero, respectively, for 1997. Page 31 Assumptions used in the accounting for the Company's pension and postretirement benefit plans were:
ASSUMPTIONS ON A WEIGHTED AVERAGE BASIS 1998 1997 1996 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PENSION BENEFITS Discount rate 7.0% 7.8% 7.6% Rate of compensation increase 3.7% 3.8% 3.8% Expected return on plan assets 10.9% 10.2% 9.3%
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS Discount rate 7.3% 8.0% 7.8% Rate of compensation increase 3.8% 3.8% 3.8%
Effective July 1, 1998, the Company replaced its self-funded indemnity health plan for retirees with an insured indemnity plan. Accordingly, the assumed health care cost trend rates used to measure the expected cost of benefits were adjusted to reflect the terms of the new plan. As a result, the annual rate of change in the cost of health care benefits for 1999 under the new indemnity plan was assumed to be a decrease of 14.3% for participants under the age of 65 and an increase of 4.7% for participants age 65 and over. These rates were assumed to increase to 13.5% and 16.0%, respectively, for 2000 and 2001, and then were assumed to decrease gradually until they reach an ultimate rate of 5.3% and 5.5%, respectively, in 2007. For the existing retiree HMO plans, the rate of increase in the cost of health care benefits was assumed to be 9.8% for 1999, decreasing gradually to a rate of 5.3% in 2004 and remaining at that level thereafter. A 1% change in these assumptions would not have a material effect on either the postretirement benefit obligation at May 30, 1998, or the benefit credit reported for 1998. The components of net pension benefit cost and postretirement benefit credit recognized in income were:
IN THOUSANDS 1998 1997 1996 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PENSION BENEFITS Service cost $ 14,161 $ 12,084 $ 9,469 Interest cost 37,829 37,627 37,414 Expected return on plan assets (48,634) (39,335) (33,574) Amortization of transition asset (2,059) (1,858) (1,835) Amortization of prior service cost (2,209) (740) (780) Recognized net loss 1,792 2,655 999 Other benefit plans 1,992 1,327 1,454 ----------------------------------- Net benefit cost $ 2,872 $ 11,760 $ 13,147 =================================== POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS Service cost $ 188 $ 177 $ 168 Interest cost 1,145 1,244 1,359 Amortization of prior service cost (2,671) (2,671) (2,671) Recognized net gain (747) (631) (714) ----------------------------------- Net benefit credit $ (2,085) $ (1,881) $ (1,858) ===================================
EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN The Company has an employee savings plan that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participating U.S. employees may defer up to 15% of their compensation, subject to certain regulatory limitations. Employee contributions are invested, at the employees' direction, among a variety of investment alternatives. The Company's matching contribution, which was previously invested entirely in Company stock, was increased from 3% to 4% of compensation effective January 1, 1998, and may now be invested in any one of the 401(k) plan funds. In addition, the Company contributes Company stock to the plan for all eligible employees equal to 2% of compensation. The Company's total contributions were approximately $16.4 million in 1998, $14.2 million in 1997, and $12.1 million in 1996. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce the impact of foreign exchange risks where internal netting strategies cannot be effectively employed. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company's derivative activities do not create risk because fluctuations in the value of the instruments used for hedging purposes are offset by fluctuations in the value of the underlying exposures being hedged. The notional or contract amounts of the hedging instruments do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of the Company's exposure due to the use of derivatives. The amounts exchanged are calculated on the basis of the notional amounts and other terms of the instruments. The Company is exposed to credit- related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to financial instruments. However, the Company has entered into these instruments with creditworthy financial institutions and considers the risk of nonperformance to be remote. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK MANAGEMENT The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exchange rate risks. At the end of 1998 and 1997, the notional amounts of the Company's outstanding contracts were $127.4 million and $113.6 million, respectively. Generally, these contracts have maturities that do not exceed one year and require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. dollars at maturity. The purpose of the Company's hedging activities is to reduce the risk that the eventual cash flows of the underlying assets, liabilities and firm commitments will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. The deferred gains or losses attributable to foreign exchange contracts are not material. Page 32 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS For short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt, accounts payable and accrued compensation, the carrying amount approximates the fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of marketable equity securities is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The fair value of long- term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices for similar instruments or by discounting expected cash flows at rates currently available to the Company for instruments with similar risks and maturities. The differences between the fair values and carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, including derivatives, at May 30, 1998, and May 31, 1997, were not material. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. The risk is limited due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies. At May 30, 1998, the Company had no significant concentrations of credit risk. INCOME TAXES The components of earnings before taxes on a geographical basis are contained in the "Business Segments" note. The provision for income taxes consisted of:
IN THOUSANDS 1998 1997 1996 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current: Federal $ 30,979 $ 21,457 $ 9,104 State 5,060 3,742 1,961 Non-U.S. 10,826 7,854 10,789 ----------------------------------- 46,865 33,053 21,854 Deferred: Federal (180) 15,921 16,363 State (460) 2,015 3,338 Non-U.S. (5,696) 3,028 1,125 ----------------------------------- (6,336) 20,964 20,826 ----------------------------------- Total provision $ 40,529 $ 54,017 $ 42,680 ===================================
The provisions differ from the amounts that would result by applying the U.S. statutory rate to earnings before taxes. A reconciliation of the difference is:
IN THOUSANDS 1998 1997 1996 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income taxes based on U.S. statutory rate $ 42,985 $ 59,081 $ 49,793 Foreign sales corporations (6,391) (5,935) (4,565) Change in beginning of year valuation allowance (505) (3,824) (5,526) State income taxes, net of U.S. tax 2,990 3,742 3,445 Other - net 1,450 953 (467) ---------------------------------- Total provision $ 40,529 $ 54,017 $ 42,680 ==================================
Tax benefits of $7.8 million, $5.6 million and $5.0 million associated with the exercise of employee stock options were credited to common stock in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the following consolidated balance sheet accounts:
