4 SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES WHICH ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THESE STATEMENTS. RAYOVAC CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION: These financial statements have been prepared by Rayovac Corporation (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at April 2, 2000, results of operations for the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2000, and April 4, 1999, and cash flows for the six month periods ended April 2, 2000, and April 4, 1999. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto as of September 30, 1999. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company principally in the management of its interest rate, foreign currency and raw material price exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The net amounts to be paid or received under interest rate swap agreements designated as hedges are accrued as interest rates change, and are recognized over the life of the swap agreements, as an adjustment to interest expense from the underlying debt to which the swap is designated. The related amounts payable to, or receivable from, the counter-parties are included in accrued liabilities or accounts receivable. The Company has entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements which effectively fix the interest rate on floating rate debt at a rate of 6.404% for a notional principal amount of $75,000 for the period October 1999 through October 2002. The unrealized portion of the fair value of these contracts at April 2, 2000 was $994. The Company has entered into a set of foreign exchange put and call option contracts for the period December 1999 through September 2000 to hedge the risk from settlement of US Dollar-denominated debt with Mexican Pesos. Buying a Peso put allows the Company to exchange a specified quantity of Pesos for U.S. Dollars with the seller of the put at a fixed exchange rate through a specified date. Selling a Peso put allows the buyer of the put to exchange a specified quantity of Pesos for U.S. Dollars with the Company at a fixed exchange rate through a specified date. Selling a Peso call allows the buyer of the call to exchange a specified quantity of Pesos for U.S. Dollars with the Company at a fixed exchange rate through a specified date. The set of contracts effectively fixes the exchange rate for Pesos to Dollars to a range with a ceiling determined by the strike rate of the call sold, and a floor determined by the strike rate of the put purchased but further limited to the strike rate of the put sold. If the actual market rate of exchange declines past the strike rate of the put sold, the benefit of the put purchased is gradually offset to zero at which point the Company is effectively exposed to fluctuation in the Peso/U.S. Dollar rate as though no hedge contract existed. The cost of the first put and premiums received from sale of the second put and the call, are amortized over the life of the contracts and are recorded as an adjustment to foreign exchange gains or losses to income. The contracts are marked to market, and the related adjustment is recognized in other expense (income). The related amounts payable to, or receivable from, the counter-parties are included in accounts payable or accounts receivable. The Company has $5,000 of such option contracts at April 2, 2000. The unrealized portion of the fair value of these contracts at April 2, 2000 was immaterial. The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk from anticipated settlement in local currencies of inter-company purchases and sales. These contracts generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. dollars. The contracts are marked to market, and the 5 related adjustment is recognized in other expense (income). The related amounts payable to, or receivable from, the counter-parties are included in accounts payable or accounts receivable. The Company has $6,663 of such forward exchange contracts at April 2, 2000. The unrealized portion of the fair value of the contracts at April 2, 2000 was immaterial. The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the risk from anticipated settlement in local currencies of trade sales. These contracts generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for Pounds Sterling. The related amounts receivable from the trade customers are included in accounts receivable. The Company has approximately $5,399 of such forward exchange contracts at April 2, 2000. The unrealized portion of the fair value of the contracts at April 2, 2000, was $336. The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the risk from anticipated settlement in local currencies of trade purchases. These contracts generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars. The Company has approximately $13,100 of such forward exchange contracts denominated in Mexican Pesos at April 2, 2000. The unrealized portion of the fair value of the contracts at April 2, 2000, was ($788). The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for zinc used in the manufacturing process. The Company hedges some of this risk through the use of commodity swaps, calls and puts. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of a commodity through a specified date. Buying calls allows the Company to purchase a specified quantity of a commodity for a fixed price through a specified date. Selling puts allows the buyer of the put to sell a specified quantity of a commodity to the Company for a fixed price through a specific date. The maturity of, and the quantities covered by, the contracts highly correlate to the Company's anticipated purchases of the commodities. The cost of the calls, and the premiums received from the puts, are amortized over the life of the contracts and are recorded in cost of goods sold, along with the effects of the swap, put and call contracts. At April 2, 2000, the Company had entered into a series of swaps for zinc with a contract value of $9,472 for the period March 2000 through March 2001. While these transactions have no carrying value, the unrealized portion of the fair value of these contracts at April 2, 2000, was $103. 2 INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following:

5 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In March 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase certain equipment and to pay annual royalties. In connection with the 1998 agreement, which supersedes previous agreements dated December 1991, and March 1994, the Company committed to pay royalties of $2,000 in 1998 and 1999, $3,000 in 2000 through 2002, and $500 in each year thereafter, as long as the related equipment patents are enforceable, up to Year 2022. The Company incurred royalty expenses of $2,000 for 1997, 1998 and 1999. Additionally, the Company has committed to purchase $439 of tooling at April 2, 2000. The Company has provided for the estimated costs associated with environmental remediation activities at some of its current and former manufacturing sites. In addition, the Company, together with other parties, has been designated a potentially responsible party at various sites on the United States EPA National Priorities List (Superfund). The Company provides for the estimated costs of investigation and remediation of these sites when such losses are probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. The actual cost incurred may vary from these estimates due to the inherent uncertainties involved. The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided of $2,227, which may result from resolution of these matters, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, liquidity, or cash flow of the Company. The Company has certain other contingent liabilities with respect to litigation, claims and contractual agreements arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, such contingent liabilities are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, liquidity or cash flow of the Company. 6 OTHER During 1999, the Company recorded special charges as follows: (i) $2,528 of employee termination benefits for 43 employees related to organizational restructuring in the U.S. and Europe, (ii) $1,300 of charges related to the discontinuation of the manufacturing of silver-oxide cells at the Company's Portage, Wisconsin, facility, and (iii) $2,100 of charges related to the termination of non-performing foreign distributors.

8 GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES (ROV HOLDING, INC. AND ROVCAL, INC.) The following condensed consolidating financial data illustrate the composition of the consolidated financial statements. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries using the equity method for purposes of the consolidating presentation. Earnings of subsidiaries are therefore reflected in the Company's and Guarantor Subsidiarys' investment accounts and earnings. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and inter-company balances and transactions.

14 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FISCAL QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 2, 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 4, 1999 NET SALES. Net sales for the three months ended April 2, 2000 (the "Fiscal 2000 Quarter") increased $31.6 million, or 28.5%, to $142.6 million from $111.0 million in the three months ended April 4, 1999 (the "Fiscal 1999 Quarter"). The increase was driven by increased sales of alkaline batteries, lighting products, plus an additional $25.2 million in sales in Latin America, which was the result of acquiring the Latin America battery business from ROV Limited in August, 1999. Net sales for the six months ended April 2, 2000 (the "Fiscal 2000 Six Months") increased $85.9 million, or 31.6%, to $357.4 million from $271.5 million in the six months ended April 4, 1999 (the "Fiscal 1999 Six Months"). The increase was driven by increased sales of alkaline batteries and lighting products plus an additional $56.0 million in sales in Latin America. NET INCOME. Net income for the Fiscal 2000 Quarter increased $0.6 million, or 19.3%, to $3.7 million from $3.1 million in the Fiscal 1999 Quarter. The increase reflects the impact of the Latin America acquisition, sales growth in North America, improved gross profit margins, partially offset by increased operating expense and interest expense. Net income for the Fiscal 2000 Six Months increased $4.5 million, or 34.4%, to $17.6 million from $13.1 million in the Fiscal 1999 Six Months. The increase reflects the impact of the Latin America acquisition, improved gross profit margins, partially offset by increased operating expense and interest expense. SEGMENT RESULTS. The Company manages operations in three reportable segments based upon geographic area. North America includes the United States and Canada; Latin America includes Mexico, Central America, and South America; Europe/Rest of World ("Europe/ROW") includes the United Kingdom, Europe and all other countries in which the company does business. We evaluate segment profitability based on income from operations before corporate expense which includes corporate purchasing expense, general and administrative expense and research and development expense.
FISCAL QUARTER SIX MONTHS NORTH AMERICA 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- Revenue from external customers............... $103.8 $94.9 $270.4 $236.0 Profitability................................. 14.6 12.7 44.4 37.7 Profitability as a % of net sales............. 14.1% 13.4% 16.4% 16.0% Assets........................................ 248.1 218.8 248.1 218.8
Our sales to external customers increased $8.9 million, or 9.4%, to $103.8 million in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter from $94.9 million the previous year due primarily to increased sales of alkaline batteries, rechargeable batteries and lighting products partially offset by lower sales of hearing aid batteries. Alkaline sales increases of $7.7 million, or 16.3%, were driven by new customers and expanded distribution with existing customers. Rechargeable batteries sales increases of $2.7 million, or 64.6%, were driven by strong promotions with a major mass merchandiser and the continuing growth in Nickel Metal Hydride (NIMH) rechargeable batteries. Sales of lighting products increased $1.4 million, or 10.1%, due primarily to new products and new distribution. Sales of hearing aid batteries decreased $1.3 million, or 10.8%, primarily as a result of planned inventory reduction at several professional and retail distribution accounts and a corresponding reduction in promotional programs. We believe hearing aid sales in future quarters will approximate or slightly exceed prior year levels. 15 In the Fiscal 2000 Six Months, our sales to external customers increased $34.4 million, or 14.6%, to $270.4 million from $236.0 million the previous year due primarily to increased sales of alkaline batteries, lighting products, heavy duty batteries, rechargeable alkaline batteries, partially offset by lower sales of hearing aid batteries. Alkaline sales increases of $29.8 million, or 23.5%, were driven by new customers, expanded distribution with existing customers, and strong holiday promotional programs. Sales of lighting products increased $4.7 million, 13.4%, due primarily to the ongoing introduction of new products combined with expanded distribution with new and existing accounts. Exclusive distribution to a major mass merchandiser contributed to the increase in sales of heavy duty batteries of $2.1 million, or 11.1%. Rechargeable alkaline sales increases of $1.6 million, or 12.6%, were driven by strong promotions with a major mass merchandiser. Sales of hearing aid batteries decreased $3.5 million, or 14.9%, primarily as a result of planned inventory reduction at several professional and retail distribution accounts, a reduction in promotional programs, and softening in the hearing aid device marketplace. Our profitability increased $1.9 million, or 15.0%, to $14.6 million in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter from $12.7 million in the Fiscal 1999 Quarter and $6.7 million, or 17.8%, to $44.4 million in Fiscal 2000 Six Months from $37.7 million in the Fiscal 1999 Six Months. These increases were primarily attributed to the sales increase and improved gross profit margins reflecting previously announced cost rationalization initiatives, increased volume, and a shift in product mix partially offset by increased distribution and promotional costs. Our assets increased $29.3 million, or 13.4%, to $248.1 million from $218.8 million the previous year due primarily to an increase in receivables reflecting strong sales, higher inventories supporting the sales growth and new product introductions, and ongoing capital programs.
FISCAL QUARTER SIX MONTHS LATIN AMERICA 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- Revenue from external customers............. $25.2 $0.4 $56.0 $2.2 Profitability............................... 4.5 0.2 10.2 0.6 Profitability as a % of net sales........... 17.9% 50.0% 18.2% 27.3% Assets...................................... 186.2 -- 186.2 --
Our increase in assets is attribitable to the acquisition, in August 1999, of the consumer battery business of ROV Limited in Latin America. ROV Limited was one of our customers prior to the acquisition. Revenues for the region for the Fiscal 1999 Quarter and Six Months represents sales to ROV Limited as an external customer. The Fiscal 2000 Quarter and Fiscal 2000 Six Months sales in the region are primarily heavy duty batteries. The Fiscal 2000 Quarter and Fiscal 2000 Six Months sales benefited from price increases in certain countries implemented in the second quarter, new distribution of alkaline batteries in mass merchandiser chains, and expansion of distribution into Chile and Argentina in the second quarter. For the Fiscal 2000 Quarter, our profitability was $4.5 million, which was 17.9% of net sales which represents an increase of $4.3 million from the Fiscal 1999 Quarter. Profitability in the Fiscal 2000 Six Months was $10.2 million, which was 18.2% of net sales, and represents an increase of $9.6 million from the Fiscal 1999 Six Months.
FISCAL QUARTER SIX MONTHS EUROPE/ROW 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- Revenue from external customers........... $13.6 $15.6 $30.9 $33.3 Profitability............................. 2.0 2.5 4.0 4.2 Profitability as a % of net sales......... 14.7% 16.0% 12.9% 12.6% Assets.................................... 30.2 32.1 30.2 32.1
Our sales to external customers decreased $2.0 million, or 12.8%, to $13.6 million in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter from $15.6 million the previous year and decreased $2.4 million, or 7.2%, to $30.9 million in the Fiscal 2000 Six 16 Months from $33.3 million the previous year. These decreases in sales were primarily attributable to the impacts of currency devaluation and a decision to exit certain private label battery business in Europe. Our profitability decreased $0.5 million, or 20.0%, in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter and $0.2 million, or 4.8%, in the Fiscal 2000 Six Months reflecting the impact of currency devaluation, higher operating expenses as a percentage of sales partially offset by improved gross profit margins reflecting the exit of certain low margin private label battery business, the benefits of cost rationalization initiatives, and favorable shift in product mix. Our assets decreased $1.9 million, or 5.9%, to $30.2 million from $32.1 million the previous year due primarily to a decrease in receivables reflecting weaker sales in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter. CORPORATE EXPENSE. Our corporate expense increased $1.6 million, or 25.8%, to $7.8 million in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter from $6.2 million the previous year and $2.9 million, or 22.3%, to $15.9 million in the Fiscal 2000 Six Months from $13.0 million the previous year. These increases were primarily due to increased legal expenses, research and development expenses and depreciation costs related to the operation of our new computer systems. As a percentage of total sales, our corporate expense was 5.5% in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter compared to 5.6% in the previous year and 4.4% in the Fiscal 2000 Six Months compared to 4.8% in the previous year reflecting leveraging fixed costs over greater sales volume. SPECIAL CHARGES. We recorded no special charges in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter or Fiscal 2000 Six Months. Special charges of $0.7 million were recognized in the Fiscal 1999 Quarter and $1.4 million were recognized in the Fiscal 1999 Six Months related to our closing of our Appleton, Wisconsin, facility; Newton Aycliffe and United Kingdom facility; and the consolidation of battery packaging operations at our Madison, Wisconsin, facility. INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. Our income from operations increased $4.8 million, or 57.1%, to $13.2 million in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter from $8.4 million the previous year and increased $14.7 million, or 52.5%, to $42.7 million in the Fiscal 2000 Six Months from $28.0 million the previous year. These increases were primarily due to increased profitability in North America and Latin America, which includes the Latin American acquisition, partially offset by weakness in Europe/ROW and increased corporate expenses. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $3.6 million, or 102.9%, to $7.1 million in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter from $3.5 million in the prior year and $8.2 million, or 115.5%, to $15.3 million in the Fiscal 2000 Six Months from $7.1 million in the prior year primarily due to higher debt load associated with the Latin American acquisition, higher working capital requirements to meet expanding sales growth, and an increase in general market interest rates. INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Our effective tax rate was 35.0% for the Fiscal 2000 Quarter compared to 36.0% in the Fiscal 1999 Quarter and 35.0% in the Fiscal 2000 Six Months compared to 36.2% for the Fiscal 1999 Six Months. The lower rate this year is partially attributable to more foreign income which is taxed at a lower effective tax rate than in the United States. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES For the Fiscal 2000 Six Months, operating activities provided $39.2 million in net cash compared with $13.9 million for Fiscal 1999 Six Months. Operating cash flow before working capital requirements generated $32.0 million in cash flow compared to $19.5 million in the year ago six months reflecting improvement in income from operations and higher non-cash expenses. Non-cash expenses increased $8.0 million to $14.4 million in the Fiscal 2000 Six Months from $6.4 million in the Fiscal 1999 Six Months. This increase is the result of amortization of intangible assets that were recognized as part of the Latin American acquisition, depreciation on the SAP business enterprise system, which was installed in fiscal year 1999, and the impact of lower deferred tax assets. Working capital decreases generated cash of $7.2 million in the Fiscal 2000 Six Months, which was $12.8 million higher than the Fiscal 1999 Six Months. This reflects a larger decrease in receivables than was experienced in the Fiscal 1999 Six Months primarily reflecting improved receivable collections in North America partially offset by higher inventories in Latin America and 17 North America needed to support sales expansion. Cash costs associated with the restructuring activities announced in Fiscal 1999 have been and are expected to be funded with cash provided from operations. Net cash used by investing activities decreased $1.9 million versus the same period a year ago primarily reflecting lower capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for the Fiscal 2000 Six Months were approximately $7.5 million, a decrease of $1.6 million from the Fiscal 1999 Six Months. Expenditures in the current year were primarily for improvements to alkaline battery manufacturing and information systems hardware and software. The Company currently expects capital spending for fiscal 2000 to be approximately $25.0 million due to alkaline capacity expansion, alkaline vertical integration programs, and enhancements to our warehouse and distribution systems. During the Fiscal 2000 Six Months we granted approximately 657,500 options to purchase shares of common stock to various employees of the company. All grants have been at an exercise price equal to the market price of the common stock on the date of the grant. The Company believes that cash flow from operating activities and periodic borrowings under its amended credit facilities will be adequate to meet the Company's short-term and long-term liquidity requirements prior to the maturity of those credit facilities, although no guarantee can be given in this regard. The Company's current credit facilities include a revolving credit facility of $250.0 million and term loan of $75 million. As of April 2, 2000, $67.8 million of the term loan remained outstanding and $160.2 million was outstanding under the revolving facility with approximately $16.0 million of the remaining availability utilized for outstanding letters of credit. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK MARKET RISK FACTORS We have market risk exposure from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We use derivative financial instruments for purposes other than trading to mitigate the risk from such exposures. A discussion of our accounting policies for derivative financial instruments is included in Note 1 "Significant Accounting Policies and Practices" in Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. INTEREST RATE RISK We have bank lines of credit at variable interest rates. The general level of U.S. interest rates, LIBOR, IBOR, and to a lesser extent European Base rates, primarily affects interest expense. We use interest rate swaps to manage such risk. The net amounts to be paid or received under interest rate swap agreements are accrued as interest rates change, and are recognized over the life of the swap agreements, as an adjustment to interest expense from the underlying debt to which the swap is designated. The related amounts payable to, or receivable from, the contract counter-parties are included in accrued liabilities or accounts receivable. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK We are subject to risk from sales and loans to our subsidiaries as well as sales to, purchases from and bank lines of credit with, third-party customers, suppliers and creditors, respectively, denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currency sales are made primarily in Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Euro, German Marks, French Francs, Italian Lira, Spanish Pesetas, Dutch Guilders, Mexican Pesos, Guatemalan Quetzals, Dominican Pesos, Venezuelan Bolivars and Honduran Lempira. Foreign currency purchases are made primarily in Pounds Sterling, German Marks, French Francs, Mexican Pesos, Dominican Pesos, Guatemalan Quetzals and Honduran Lempira. We manage our foreign exchange exposure from anticipated sales, accounts receivable, intercompany loans, firm purchase commitments and credit obligations through the use of naturally occurring offsetting positions (borrowing in local currency), forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign exchange rate swaps and foreign exchange options. The 18 related amounts payable to, or receivable from, the contract counter parties are included in accounts payable or accounts receivable. COMMODITY PRICE RISK We are exposed to fluctuation in market prices for purchases of zinc used in the manufacturing process. We use commodity swaps, calls and puts to manage such risk. The maturity of, and the quantities covered by, the contracts are closely correlated to our anticipated purchases of the commodities. The cost of calls, and the premiums received from the puts, are amortized over the life of the contracts and are recorded in cost of goods sold, along with the effects of the swap, put and call contracts. The related amounts payable to, or receivable from, the counterparties are included in accounts payable or accounts receivable. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS The analysis below is hypothetical and should not be considered a projection of future risks. Earnings projections are before tax. As of April 2, 2000, the potential change in fair value of outstanding interest rate derivative instruments, assuming a 1% unfavorable shift in the underlying interest rates would be a loss of $1.5 million. The net impact on reported earnings, after also including the reduction in one year's interest expense on the related debt due to the same shift in interest rates, would be a net gain of $0.7 million. As of April 2, 2000, the potential change in fair value of outstanding foreign exchange rate derivative instruments, assuming a 10% unfavorable change in the underlying foreign exchange rates would be a loss of $3.2 million. The net impact on future cash flows, after also including the gain in value on the related accounts receivable and contractual payment obligations outstanding at April 2, 2000 due to the same change in exchange rates, would be a net loss of $1.3 million. As of April 2, 2000, the potential change in fair value of outstanding commodity price derivative instruments, assuming a 10% unfavorable change in the underlying commodity prices would be a loss of $1.1 million. The net impact on reported earnings, after also including the reduction in cost of one year's purchases of the related commodities due to the same change in commodity prices, would be a net gain of $0.4 million.
