AMETEK, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2002 (Unaudited) Note 1 - Financial Statement Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The Company believes that all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31, 2002 and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 have been included. Quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes presented in the Company's 2001 Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Note 2 - Earnings Per Share The calculation of basic earnings per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are based on the average number of common shares considered outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share for such periods reflect the effect of all potentially dilutive securities (primarily outstanding common stock options). The following table presents the number of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the periods: Weighted average shares (In thousands) Three months ended March 31, -------------------------- 2002 2001 ------ ------ (Unaudited) Basic 32,799 32,624 Stock option and award plans 707 619 ------ ------ Diluted 33,506 33,243 ====== ====== Note 3 - Inventories The estimated components of inventory stated at lower of LIFO cost or market are: (In thousands) -------------------------- March 31, December 31, 2002 2001 -------- -------- (Unaudited) Finished goods and parts $ 32,803 $ 31,313 Work in process 35,237 36,925 Raw materials and purchased parts 78,385 84,287 -------- -------- $146,425 $152,525 ======== ======== 6

AMETEK, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2002 (Unaudited) Note 4 - Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes all changes in stockholders' equity during a period except those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders. The following table presents comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001: (In thousands) Three months ended March 31, ----------------------- 2002 2001 -------- -------- (Unaudited) Net income $ 19,665 $ 18,272 Foreign currency translation adjustment (1,833) (3,750) Unrealized gain on marketable securities 68 527 -------- -------- Total comprehensive income $ 17,900 $ 15,049 ======== ======== Note 5 - Segment Disclosure The Company has two reportable business segments, the Electronic Instruments Group and the Electromechanical Group. The Company organizes its businesses primarily on the basis of product type, production processes, distribution methods, and management organizations. At March 31, 2002, there were no significant changes in identifiable assets of reportable segments from the amounts disclosed at December 31, 2001, nor were there any changes in the basis of segmentation, or in the measurement of segment operating results. Operating information relating to the Company's reportable segments for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 can be found in the table on page 9 in the Management's Discussion & Analysis section of this Report. Note 6 - New Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 no longer permits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these assets must be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of the Statement. As of January 1, 2002, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill. 7

AMETEK, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2002 (Unaudited) The Company's net income and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 adjusted to exclude goodwill amortization was as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three months ended March 31, 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- (Unaudited) Reported net income $ 19,665 $ 18,272 Add back goodwill amortization, net of tax -- 2,315 ---------- ---------- Adjusted net income $ 19,665 $ 20,587 ========== ========== Basic earnings per share as reported $ 0.60 $ 0.56 Goodwill amortization, net of tax -- 0.07 ---------- ---------- Adjusted basic earnings per share $ 0.60 $ 0.63 ========== ========== Diluted earnings per share as reported $ 0.59 $ 0.55 Goodwill amortization, net of tax -- 0.07 ---------- ---------- Adjusted diluted earnings per share $ 0.59 $ 0.62 ========== ========== The Company has essentially completed the transitional impairment test of its goodwill, and will finalize this assessment by the end of the second quarter of 2002 as provided by the implementation provision of the Statement. Although the final analysis is being completed, the Company's current valuation indicates that there is no impairment of its goodwill. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, changes to goodwill primarily resulted from purchase accounting adjustments related to recent acquisitions. Goodwill as of March 31, 2002 was allocated by segment as follows: Electronic Instrument Group (EIG) - $239.9 million; Electromechanical Group (EMG) - $144.8 million. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of", and provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. The adoption of this Statement had no effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. 8

AMETEK, Inc. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth reportable segment operating results, consolidated operating income, and income before income taxes: Three months ended March 31, 2002 2001 --------- --------- (Dollars in thousands) Net sales Electronic Instruments $ 136,801 $ 126,028 Electromechanical 126,757 138,043 --------- --------- Consolidated net sales $ 263,558 $ 264,071 ========= ========= Operating income and income before income taxes Electronic Instruments $ 20,959 $ 18,844 Electromechanical 20,573 21,891 --------- --------- Total segment operating income 41,532 40,735 Corporate and other (5,098) (5,032) --------- --------- Consolidated operating income 36,434 35,703 Interest and other expenses, net (7,090) (7,405) --------- --------- Consolidated income before income taxes $ 29,344 $ 28,298 ========= ========= Operations for the first quarter of 2002 compared with the first quarter of 2001 Net sales for the first quarter of 2002 were $263.6 million, essentially unchanged from sales of $264.1 million in the first quarter of 2001. Net sales for the Electronic Instruments Group (EIG) increased $10.8 million or 8.5% in the first quarter of 2002, primarily due to the recent acquisitions of Instruments for Research and Applied Science (IRAS) and EDAX, Inc., as well as continued strength in the Company's aerospace and power instrument businesses. Net sales for the Electromechanical Group (EMG) were down $11.3 million or 8.2% in the first quarter of 2002. Continued adverse market conditions in the global floor care markets were partially offset by the 2001 acquisition of GS Electric. Without these recent acquisitions, consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2002 would have been 13.1% lower than the first quarter of 2001. New orders for the first quarter of 2002 were $263.6 million, down $14.3 million or 5.2% when compared with the same quarter in 2001. The first quarter of 2001 was an unusually strong quarter for orders within the Company's aerospace and power instrument businesses. The Company's backlog of unfilled orders at March 31, 2002 was $276.5 million, essentially unchanged from December 31, 2001. 9

AMETEK, Inc. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Segment operating income for the first quarter 2002 was $41.5 million, an increase of $0.8 million or 2.0% when compared with the first quarter 2001. Segment operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 15.8% of sales in the current quarter from 15.4% of sales in the first quarter of 2001. Higher operating income was primarily driven by the recent acquisitions and the non-amortization of goodwill in the first quarter of 2002. The Company also is benefiting from its fourth quarter 2001 cost reduction initiatives. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $27.8 million in the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $3.7 million or 15.0% when compared with the first quarter of 2001. Selling expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 8.7% in the first quarter of 2002 compared with 7.3% in the first quarter of 2001. Recent acquisitions drove the increase in selling expenses. General and administrative expenses and selling expenses by base businesses decreased as a percentage of sales during the period, reflecting the Company's cost reduction initiatives. Consolidated operating income totaled $36.4 million, or 13.8% of sales, compared with $35.7 million, or 13.5% of sales for the first quarter of 2001, an increase of $0.7 million, or 2.0%. Interest expense was $6.9 million in the first quarter 2002, compared with $7.7 million for the same quarter of 2001. The $0.8 million decrease in the first quarter of 2002 was due to lower interest rates partially offset by higher debt levels compared to the first quarter of 2001. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2002 was 33.0% compared with 35.4% in the first quarter of 2001. The lower tax rate in 2002 reflects the effect of adopting SFAS No. 142, which resulted in the elimination of the tax effect of non-deductible goodwill from the Company's tax provision. Net income for the first quarter 2002 totaled $19.7 million, an increase of 7.6% from $18.3 million in the first quarter of 2001. Diluted earnings per share rose 7.3% to $0.59 per share, compared with $0.55 per share for the same quarter of 2001. The first quarter of 2001 included goodwill amortization of $2.3 million after tax, or $0.07 per diluted share. Segment Results Electronic Instruments Group ("EIG") sales were $136.8 million in the first quarter 2002, an increase of $10.8 million or 8.5% from the same quarter of 2001. The higher sales were due to the recent acquisitions of IRAS and EDAX, Inc., as well as continued strength in the aerospace and power instrument businesses. Without these recent acquisitions, EIG's sales for the first quarter of 2002 would have been 8.0% lower than the first quarter of 2001. EIG's operating income for the first quarter of 2002 increased by $2.1 million or 11.2% to $21.0 million when compared with the same quarter of 2001. The increase in operating income was due to the non-amortization of goodwill in 2002, the sales increase, as well as improved operating margins resulting from the cost reduction initiatives, noted above. EIG's pretax goodwill 10

AMETEK, Inc. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) amortization in the first quarter of 2001 amounted to $1.6 million. Operating margins were 15.3% of sales in the first quarter of 2002 compared with operating margins of 15.0% of sales in the first quarter of 2001. Electromechanical Group (EMG) sales totaled $126.8 million in the first quarter of 2002, a decrease of $11.3 million or 8.2% from the same quarter of 2001. The sales decrease was primarily due to the continued adverse market conditions in the worldwide floor care markets, partially offset by the 2001 acquisition of GS Electric. Without the recent acquisition, EMG's sales for the first quarter of 2002 would have been 17.7% lower than the first quarter of 2001. Operating income of EMG was $20.6 million for the first quarter 2002, a decrease of $1.3 million or 6.0% from the first quarter of 2001. The lower profits were mainly due to the sales decrease, partially offset by profit margin improvement, which was the result of the cost reduction initiatives, noted above. Operating income in 2002 benefited from the effect of non-amortization of goodwill. EMG's pretax goodwill amortization in the first quarter of 2001 amounted to $1.1 million. Operating margins were 16.2% of sales in the first quarter of 2002, compared with operating margins of 15.9% of sales in the first quarter of 2001. FINANCIAL CONDITION Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash provided by operating activities totaled $9.0 million for the first quarter of 2002, compared to cash used of $2.9 million (before accounts receivable securitization transactions) in the first quarter 2001. The $11.9 million increase in operating cash flow was the result of lower working capital requirements in the first quarter of 2002, mainly due to lower inventories. The first quarter of 2001 included a build-up in inventories associated with the Company's movement of certain products to low-cost manufacturing facilities, and higher inventory levels in several businesses that experienced the economic downturn. After tax cash expenditures in the first quarter of 2002 related to the Company's fourth quarter 2001 accruals for cost reduction initiatives were on plan, and totaled $1.4 million. The Company expects to make additional after tax cash expenditures on these initiatives of approximately $6.0 million for the remainder of 2002. Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter 2002 totaled $9.0 million, compared to cash used in the first quarter of 2001 of $0.9 million, after $2.0 million of proceeds from an accounts receivable securitization agreement. Cash used for investing activities totaled $5.3 million in the first quarter 2002, compared with $5.7 million used in the same quarter of 2001. Additions to property, plant and equipment in the first quarter 2002 totaled $4.1 million, compared with $7.0 million in the same quarter of 2001. 11

AMETEK, Inc. FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) Cash used for financing activities in the first quarter of 2002 totaled $5.5 million, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $6.6 million in the same quarter of 2001. In the first quarter of 2002, net short-term borrowings decreased by $7.5 million, compared with an increase of $3.3 million in 2001. As a result of all of the activities discussed above, the Company's cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2002 totaled $12.4 million, compared with $14.1 million at December 31, 2001. The Company believes it has sufficient cash-generating capabilities and available credit facilities to enable it to meet its needs in the foreseeable future.
