Item 9 and 12 . Regulation FD Disclosures and Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 16, 2003, Mohawk Industries, Inc. issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the quarter ended March 28, 2003. A copy of such press release is attached to this current report on Form 8-K and is being furnished under both Item 9 and Item 12 of Form 8-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Mohawk's management uses non-GAAP financial measures as an alternative means of assessing and comparing its operations. Management compares measures that assume the same number of selling days in each period in order to evaluate a more direct comparison between periods. If an acquisition occurred during one of these periods being compared or evaluated, management uses non-GAAP financial measures which include the results of the acquired business in both periods. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides a more useful comparison of the financial results and trends of the business than would comparison of periods with unequal selling days or periods containing results of different businesses.
