genuine parts company, S&P 500 index & peer group composite index
In constructing the peer group composite index (“Peer Index”) for use in the stock performance graph above, the Company used the shareholder returns
of various publicly held companies (weighted in accordance with each company’s stock market capitalization at December 31, 2003 and including rein-
vestment of dividends) that compete with the Company in three industry segments: automotive parts, industrial parts and office products (each group
of companies included in the Peer Index as competing with the Company in a separate industry segment is hereinafter referred to as a “Peer Group”). In-
cluded in the automotive parts Peer Group are those companies making up the Dow Jones Auto Parts and Equipment Index (the Company is a member
of such industry group, and its individual shareholder return was included when calculating the Peer Index results set forth in the performance graph).
Included in the industrial parts Peer Group are Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc. and Kaman Corporation and included in the office products Peer
Group is United Stationers Inc. e Peer Index does not break out a separate electrical/electronic peer group due to the fact that there is currently no
true market comparative to EIS. e electrical/electronic component of sales is redistributed to the Company’s other segments on a pro rata basis to
calculate the final Peer Index.
In determining the Peer Index, each Peer Group was weighted to reflect the Company’s annual net sales in each industry segment. Each industry segment
of the Company comprised the following percentages of the Company’s net sales for the fiscal years shown:
