THE TORO COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) JANUARY 31, 2003 Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms "company" and "Toro" refer to The Toro Company and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting primarily of recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations. Since the company's business is seasonal, operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2003 cannot be annualized to determine the expected results for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2003. Certain amounts from prior period's financial statements have been reclassified to conform to this period's presentation. The company's fiscal year ends on October 31, and quarterly results are reported based on three month periods that generally end on the Friday closest to the quarter end. For comparative purposes, however; the company's second and third quarters always include exactly 13 weeks of results so that the quarter end date for these two quarters is not necessarily the Friday closest to the quarter end. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2002. The policies described in that report are used for preparing quarterly reports. Accounting Policies In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management must make decisions which impact the reported amounts and the related disclosures. Such decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the assumptions on which to base accounting estimates. In reaching such decisions, management applies judgments based on its understanding and analysis of the relevant circumstances, historical experience, and actuarial valuations. Actual amounts could differ from those estimated at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K provides a summary of the significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements. Other footnotes in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K describe various elements of the financial statements and the assumptions made in determining specific amounts. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for most inventories. Inventories were as follows: (Dollars in thousands) January 31, February 1, October 31, 2003 2002 2002 ------------- ------------- -------------- Raw materials and work in process....................$ 74,834 $ 69,335 $ 68,296 Finished goods and service parts..................... 233,973 250,678 198,860 ------------- ------------- -------------- 308,807 320,013 267,156 Less: LIFO........................................... 26,903 29,264 26,903 Other reserves....................................... 14,528 16,225 15,886 ------------- ------------- -------------- Total.............................................$ 267,376 $ 274,524 $ 224,367 ============= ============= ============== 6
Restructuring and Other Expense In fiscal 2002, the company announced plans to close its Riverside, California manufacturing operations and its Evansville, Indiana and Madera, California manufacturing facilities. Approximately 550 job positions and related staff reductions will be lost in connection with closing these operations. As of January 31, 2003, of the 550 job position reductions, 441 have been eliminated. In addition, the company will incur ongoing costs after the facilities are closed and until they are sold, which is captioned in "other" below. These actions are part of Toro's overall long-term strategy to reduce production costs and improve long-term competitiveness. The company also incurred a charge for asset impairment related to write-downs of patents and non-compete agreements during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The following is an analysis of the company's restructuring and other expense reserve accounts: (Dollars in thousands) Severance & Benefits Other Total ------------- ------------- ----------- Balance as of October 31, 2002..............................$ 1,865 $ 872 $ 2,737 Utilization................................................. 1,331 25 1,356 ------------- ------------- ----------- Balance as of January 31, 2003..............................$ 534 $ 847 $ 1,381 ============= ============= =========== The company expects a majority of the remaining accruals to be utilized during fiscal 2003.

Segment Data The presentation of segment information reflects the manner in which management organizes segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance. On this basis, the company has determined it has three reportable business segments: Professional, Residential, and Distribution. The other segment consists of corporate activities, including corporate financing activities and elimination of intersegment revenues and expenses. The following table shows the summarized financial information concerning the company's reportable segments: (Dollars in thousands) Three months ended January 31, 2003 Professional(1) Residential Distribution Other Total - ----------------------------------- ------------ ----------- ------------ ----- ----- Net sales ........................... $ 193,444 $ 94,665 $ 18,600 $ (10,747) $ 295,962 Intersegment gross sales ............ 12,044 843 - (12,887) - Earnings (loss) before income taxes . 27,756 8,661 (3,358) (22,639) 10,420 Total assets ........................ 449,869 193,068 36,158 209,006 888,101 Three months ended February 1, 2002 - ----------------------------------- Net sales ........................... $ 175,765 $ 92,216 $ 24,229 $ (14,295) $ 277,915 Intersegment gross sales ............ 15,667 1,250 - (16,917) - Earnings (loss) before income taxes and accounting change ............. 9,080 7,706 (2,087) (22,343) (7,644) Total assets ........................ 448,704 170,099 53,978 204,766 877,547 (1) Includes restructuring and other expense of $10.0 million in fiscal 2002.

Warranty Guarantees The company's products are warranted to the end-user to ensure end-user confidence in design, workmanship, and overall quality. Warranty lengths vary by product line, ranging from a period of six months to seven years, and cover parts, labor, and other expenses for non-maintenance repairs, provided operator abuse, improper use, or negligence did not necessitate the repair. An authorized distributor or dealer must perform warranty work and submit claims for warranty reimbursement, which the company pays as long as the repairs meet prescribed standards. Warranty expense is accrued at the time of sale based on historical claims experience by individual product lines. Special warranty reserves are also accrued for special rework campaigns for known major product modifications. The company also offers additional warranty coverage on select products when the factory warranty period expires. Warranty provisions, claims, and changes in estimates for the three-month periods ended were as follows: (Dollars in Thousands) Beginning Warranty Warranty Changes in Ending Three Months Ended Balance Provisions Claims Estimates Balance - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- January 31, 2003 $53,590 $7,784 $ (9,243) $811 $52,942 February 1, 2002 $57,882 $7,097 $ (11,173) $252 $54,058 9
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The company uses derivative instruments to assist in the management of exposure to currency exchange rates. Toro uses derivatives only in an attempt to limit underlying exposure to currency fluctuations, and not for trading purposes. The company documents all relations between hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The company assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. The company enters into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the risk from forecasted settlement in local currencies of trade sales and purchases. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the fair value recorded in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) and as a hedge asset or liability in prepaid expenses or accrued liabilities, as applicable. Once the forecasted transaction has been recognized as a sale or inventory purchase and a related asset or liability recorded in the balance sheet, the related fair value of the derivative hedge contract is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings. During the quarter ended January 31, 2003, the amount of losses reclassified to earnings for such cash flow hedges was $1.0 million. As of January 31, 2003, the amount of such contracts outstanding was $66.1 million. The unrecognized after-tax loss portion of the fair value of the contracts recorded in accumulated comprehensive loss as of January 31, 2003 was $1.6 million. The company also enters into other foreign currency exchange contracts. These contracts are intended to hedge intercompany financing transactions and other activities that are not subject to the accounting criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133; therefore, changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in other income, net. New Accounting Pronouncements SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" addresses the diverse accounting practices for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The company adopted this standard on November 1, 2002, which did not have a material impact on the company's financial statements. SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The company adopted this standard on November 1, 2002, which did not have a material impact on the company's financial statements. SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. This statement also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The company will apply the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, as required. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." This interpretation elaborates disclosure requirements for obligations by a guarantor under certain guarantees. This interpretation also requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of an obligation undertaken in issuing a guarantee. The company will apply the initial recognition and measurement provisions of Interpretation No. 45 to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, as required. The company has adopted the disclosure requirements in this Interpretation during the first quarter of fiscal 2003, as required. 10
