We would characterize the year of 2002 as another challenging
one but with a number of positives to report for Genuine Parts
Company. First, we can report that both sales and earnings
increased for the year. The increases were modest but returned
us to the pattern of improving our results as we have done
consistently through the years. Secondly, we can report that
we remain financially strong and with a balance sheet
that will support our opportunities and activities for the future.
