Note 1. Basis of Financial Statement Preparation
The consolidated financial statements contained herein are unaudited and have
been prepared from the books and records of KEMET Corporation and Subsidiaries
(KEMET or the Company). In the opinion of management, the consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
the interim periods. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Although the Company believes that
the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading,
it is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company's fiscal year ending March 31, 1999, Form 10-K. Net sales and
operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Note 2. Reconciliation of basic earnings per common share to diluted earnings
per common share.
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, the Company has included the
following table presenting a reconciliation of basic EPS to diluted EPS fully

Note 4. Common Stock
On January 20, 2000, the Company issued 3,250,000 shares of common stock in a
public offering that resulted in net proceeds of $143,162,500 after

expenditures, to repay debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility,
and to repay amounts outstanding under the short-term credit facility. The effe
ct on reported diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 1999 had these shares been outstanding the entire period would be

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In consolidation, all significant
intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1999, were $215.1
million and $564.0 million, an increase of $73.2 million or 52% and $141.9
million or 34%, respectively, from the comparable periods of the prior year.
The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to a growing demand in
the industry, as well as average selling prices returning to more normal
levels. Sales of surface-mount capacitors for the quarter and nine months
ended December 31, 1999, were $188.1 million and $482.1 million, an increase
of 60% and 41%, respectively, from comparable prior year periods. Sales of
leaded capacitors increased 10% to $27.1 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1999, and 3% to $81.9 million for the nine months ended December
31, 1999. Sales also increased in both the domestic and export markets for
the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1999, compared to the
comparable prior year periods. Domestic sales increased 47% and 29% to $104.1
million and $286.1 million, respectively, and export sales increased 57% and
38% to $111.0 million and $277.9 million, respectively.
<PAGE> 7
Cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation for the quarter and nine months ended
December 31, 1999, were $149.6 million and $409.0 million, respectively, as
compared to $106.9 million and $319.7 million for the quarter and nine months
ended December 31, 1998. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales,
exclusive of depreciation was 70% and 73% for the quarter and nine months
ended December 31, 1999, as compared to 75% and 76% for the comparable periods
of the prior year. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales is
primarily
the result of the average selling price returning to more normal levels and
higher unit volumes.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter and nine months
ended December 31, 1999, were $12.4 million and $35.3 million, respectively,
as compared to $12.4 million and $36.5 million for the comparable periods of
the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of
sales decreased from 9% for the prior year quarter to 6% this quarter
primarily as a result of the average selling price returning to more normal
levels and higher unit volumes.
Research and development expenses for the quarter and nine months ended
December 31, 1999, were $6.2 million and $15.8 million, respectively, as
compared to $4.7 million and $16.4 million for the prior comparable periods.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter and nine months ended
December 31, 1999, were $14.4 million and $41.3 million, respectively, as
compared to $11.8 million and $34.2 million for the prior comparable periods.
This increase was primarily due to the increase in capital expenditures over
the past fiscal year.
Operating income for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1999, was
$32.5 million and $62.6 million, respectively, compared to $6.2 million and
$15.3 million for the comparable periods in the prior year. The increase in
operating income resulted primarily from a combination of higher sales levels
and improved manufacturing margins.
Interest expense, net for the three months ended December 31, 1999, was $2.3
million compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31,
1998. Interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, was $7.5
million compared to $6.6 million for the comparable period in the prior year.
The $6.6 million in the prior period included $1.4 million of interest income
from the IRS for tax refunds on prior years' amended returns. Without this
interest income, interest expense would have been $8.0 million for the prior
year period. The decrease in interest expense is due to lower debt levels,
resulting from improved sales and operating income.
Income tax expense totaled $8.5 million for the quarter ended December 31,
1999, compared to $0.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998.
Income tax expense for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, was $15.1
million or 32.0% of earnings as compared to $1.8 million or 32.0% of earnings
for the comparable period of the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity needs arise primarily from working capital
requirements, capital expenditures and interest payments on its indebtedness.
The Company intends to satisfy its liquidity requirements primarily with funds
provided by
operations, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and amounts
advanced
under its foreign accounts receivable discounting arrangements.
<PAGE> 8
Cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended December 31,
1999 amounted to a surplus of $93.6 million compared with a surplus of $21.6
million
for the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in cash flow was
primarily a result of the growth in net income and the timing of cash flows
from current assets and liabilities such as accounts receivable, inventories,
accounts payable, accrued liabilities and income taxes payable.
Capital expenditures were $49.5 million for the nine months ended December 31,
1999, compared to $49.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1998.
The Company continues to invest in capital to support its long-term growth
objectives and to better meet our customers' needs. The Company estimates its
capital expenditures for fiscal year 2000 to be approximately $80.0 million.
During the nine months ended December 31, 1999, the Company decreased its
indebtedness (long-term debt and current portion of long-term debt) by $51.6
million, which was generated primarily from operating activities. As of
December 31, 1999, the Company had unused availability under its Revolving
Credit Facility and Swingline Loan of approximately $140.0 million and $7.6
million, respectively.
In May 1998, the Company sold $100.0 million of its Senior Notes pursuant to
the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 1, 1998, between the
Company and the eleven purchasers of the Senior Notes named therein. These
Senior Notes have a final maturity date of May 4, 2010, with required
principal repayments beginning on May 4, 2006. The Senior Notes bear interest
at a fixed rate of 6.66%, with interest payable semiannually beginning
November 4, 1998. The terms of the Note Purchase Agreement include various
restrictive covenants typical of transactions of this type, and require the
company to meet certain financial tests including a minimum net worth test and
a maximum ratio of debt to total capitalization.
KEMET believes its strong financial position will permit the financing of its
business needs and opportunities in an orderly manner. It is anticipated that
ongoing operations will be financed primarily by internally generated funds.
In addition, the Company has the flexibility to meet short-term working
capital and other temporary requirements through utilization of its borrowings
under its bank credit facilities.
Impact of Year 2000
The Company had a Year 2000 Readiness Program that began in December 1996.
The scope of the program included all business-critical operations in all
locations worldwide. Areas assessed included business applications, technical
infrastructure, facilities, end-user computing, manufacturing, and
suppliers.
The Company's Readiness Program was a combination of both internal and
external resources to reprogram, implement, test, or replace existing hardware
and software. The total cost of the program was approximately $6.8 million
and was funded through operating cash flows. As of December 31, 1999, the
Company had expended $6.8 million related to the Year 2000 Readiness Program.
No additional spending is anticipated for hardware and software in 2000.
<PAGE> 9
Through the month of January 2000, the Company has experienced no material
problems associated with Year 2000 issues. The Company believes that its Year
2000 Readiness program was successful and that no further Year 2000 efforts
are necessary.
From time to time, information provided by the Company, including but not
limited to statements in this report or other statements made by or on behalf
of the Company, may contain "forward-looking" information within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from
those discussed in the forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements
set forth in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3, on January 19,
1999, under the heading Risk Factors, identify important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking
statements made by or on behalf of the Company.
