The company estimates that the effects of currency movements positively impacted worldwide sales by approximately $20 million in the second quarter of 2002 and had a negligible effect on earnings.
Second quarter 2001 results include $20 million in pre-tax earnings resulting from the company’s participation in the Ford Motor Co. tyre replacement programme and $4 million in pre-tax earnings contributed by the Specialty Chemical business, which was sold in December 2001.
