Secondary issues include industry competitiveness, competition, and ways to maintain the company's continued growth and successful performance given their many recent acquisitions. The case has a difficulty level of three, appropriate for junior level students. The class is designed to be taught in 1.5 class hours and is expected to require two hours of outside preparation by students. CASE SYNOPSIS Headquartered in Calhoun, GA, Mohawk is a full-line flooring producer and manufactures carpet, rugs, ceramic tile, laminate flooring, vinyl, and other surfaces for commercial and residential customers. Mohawk Industries, Inc. is the leading floor covering producer in the world and second only to Shaw Industries, Inc. in the production of tufted carpet. Mohawk acquired nineteen firms in thirteen years (1992-2005) as they continue their consolidation in the carpet industry while broadening their product line into hard surface flooring. Mohawk's 2005 acquisition of Unilin, a Belgian-based laminate floor covering manufacturer, followed their purchase of Dal-Tile in 2002; which combined, doubled the size of the company in three years from (2002-2005). Students are provided six years of Income and Balance Sheet data and asked to assess Mohawk's financial performance and present their rationale as to whether Mohawk can continue their pace of continued growth and successful financial performance given the many recent acquisitions. Students are asked to examine the company as it becomes an even larger player in the rapidly consolidating carpet and floor covering industry. Mohawk's sales have been boosted by a strong U.S. housing market and higher selling prices. However, Mohawk's share of carpet and vinyl flooring has fallen while laminate, wood, and ceramic flooring segments have grown. Laminate sales comprised only five percent of the U.S. floorcovering market but they were up nine percent in 2005. Industry-wide, carpet and rug sales continued to grow by seven percent from 2004 to 2005, wood flooring grew by eight percent, and all hard surfaces grew by five percent. The rise in the rug segment by five percent was a result of the growth in hard surface flooring since even with wood or laminate floors, consumers continue to decorate with area and scatter rugs (Floor Focus 2006 Annual Report). INSTRUCTORS' NOTES Decision Focus The decision focus of this case is: Will Mohawk be able to maintain its rapid acquisition rate of 1 9 firms in 13 years and continue its consolidation of the carpet and floorcovering industry while maintaining financial success? With the summer 2005 acquisition of Unilin, a Belgian-based laminate floor covering manufacturer, Mohawk created a larger presence in the laminate flooring market along with an expanded range of flooring products and a larger European customer base. While the acquisition, valued at $2.6 billion, surprised local carpet competitors in the Northwest Georgia area, where Mohawk as well as most of the industry is clustered, analysts were upbeat about Mohawk's future. Unilin had 2004 revenues of $ 1 billion and employed more than 2,400 people in Europe and the U.S. The Unilin acquisition came just three years after Mohawk bought Dai-Tile, the largest U.S . ceramic tile maker. Students are asked to examine the company as it becomes an even larger player in the rapidly consolidating carpet and floorcovering industry. Mohawk's sales have been boosted by a strong U.S. housing market and higher selling prices. However, Mohawk's share of carpet and vinyl flooring has fallen while laminate, wood, and ceramic flooring segments have grown. Laminate sales comprised only five percent of the U.S. floorcovering market but they were up nine percent in 2005.
