Henkel-Ecolab was included effective November 30, 2001. Pro forma results for 1994 and prior years reflect adjustments to eliminate unusual items associated with Ecolab’s merger with Kay Chemical Company in December 1994. All per share, shares outstanding and market price data reflect the two-for-one stock splits declared in 1997 and 1993. Other assets includes net assets of Ecolab Europe and discontinued operations prior to 1992. The ratios of return on beginning equity and dividends/diluted net income per common share exclude the gain on sale of the Jackson business, restructuring expenses and special charges and change in accounting for revenue recognition in 2000 and the change in accounting principle and the loss on the ChemLawn divestiture in 1991. EBITDA from continuing operations is the total of operating income, and depreciation and amortization for the year. Number of employees excludes ChemLawn operations.
