The December 31, 2001 restructuring
reserve balance of $6.9 million consisted of severance and related expenses associated with restructuring charges recorded in 2000 and 2001 that were paid or utilized in 2002.



In the fourth quarter of 2002, Maytag announced that it would close its refrigeration manufacturing facility in Galesburg, Illinois by the
end of 2004. The Company recorded a $67.1 million pre-tax restructuring charge including $32.8 million for asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and severance and related costs as shown in the table above. The remaining $34.4 million charge
involves pension and postretirement health care benefit curtailments that are reflected in Accrued pension cost and Postretirement benefit liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total pre-tax restructuring charges are anticipated to be in
the range of $160 to $170 million. The remaining expenses are expected to be incurred in 2003 and 2004. An estimated $43 million of the total restructuring charge is expected to be cash expenditures primarily involving severance and costs to move
equipment. It is anticipated that the closure of the facility will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 1,500 positions by the end of 2004, with the majority of those positions held by hourly production workers. Approximately 450
positions have been eliminated through September 30, 2003. The Company expects to generate $35 million of cost savings on an annualized basis after the refrigeration production is moved to an existing facility in Amana, Iowa and a new factory in
Reynosa, Mexico. The manufacturing of certain other refrigeration products has already been sourced to a third party. Pre-tax restructuring charges of $13.1 million and $34.0 million were recorded in the third quarter and first nine months of 2003,
respectively. Cash expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 related to this charge were $1.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively. All of these charges were recorded within the home appliances segment.



In the second quarter of 2003, Maytag implemented an additional restructuring program
primarily consisting of a salaried workforce reduction of 510 jobs. A pre-tax charge of $16.5 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2003, including $11.3 million of severance and related costs included in the table below. The remaining $5.2
million charge was for early retirement incentives recorded as an increase in Accrued pension cost. The workforce reduction resulted in cost savings estimated to have ranged between $8 and $10 million in the third quarter of 2003 and is expected to
result in cost savings of approximately $40 million on an annualized basis. Total cash expenditures related to this charge are expected to be approximately $11 million. Cash expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 related
to this charge were $5.0 million and $9.9 million, respectively. The Company recorded $15.2 million, $0.2 million and $1.1 million of these charges in the home appliances segment, the commercial appliances segment and corporate, respectively.

NOTE
I  STOCK PLANS



The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options and awards. Under APB 25, employee stock options are valued using the intrinsic method, and
no compensation expense is recorded when the exercise price of options equals or is greater than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The following table shows the effect on net income and earnings per share if the
Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

The fair value of stock options is
estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Companys weighted-average assumptions used in this model have not changed from December 31, 2002.



NOTE J  WARRANTY RESERVE



The Company provides a basic limited warranty for all of its major appliance, floor care and commercial products. The specific terms and
conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold. A liability for the estimated costs that will be incurred during the warranty period is recorded at the same time that revenues are recognized. Factors that can affect the total
warranty liability include the number of units shipped to customers, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. On a quarterly basis, an assessment is made of the adequacy of the warranty reserve resulting in adjustments
as necessary.

In addition to the basic limited
warranty, an optional extended warranty is offered to retail purchasers of the Companys major appliances. Sales of extended warranties are recorded as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Deferred revenue is amortized into
income on a straight-line basis over the length of the extended warranty contracts. Payments on extended warranty contracts are expensed as incurred. For sales of extended warranties prior to July 1, 2003, the majority of this exposure has been
transferred to a third party insurance provider. Premiums paid for this insurance have been recorded as deferred charges on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the extended warranty
contracts. Starting in the third quarter of 2003, Maytag has elected to self-insure all obligations on sales of extended warranties. This is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.



NOTE K 
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS



The Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) recently issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The interpretation explains how to identify variable interest entities and how an enterprise assesses its interests in a variable
interest entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. The interpretation also requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by an entity if it is the primary beneficiary. A primary beneficiary of a variable
interest entity is the party that absorbs a majority of the entitys expected losses, receives a majority of its expected residual returns, or both. This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31,
2003. For entities acquired before this date, the interpretation is effective in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after December 15, 2003. Maytag does not expect the interpretation to have a material effect on its consolidated
financial position.



NOTE L  PROPOSED
SALE OF RONGSHIDA-MAYTAG



During the fourth quarter of 2001, Maytag committed
to a plan to dispose of its interest in Rongshida-Maytag, a joint venture located in China. The business was classified as a discontinued operation during that quarter. On June 30, 2003, the Company announced a tentative agreement with Elco Brandt
S.A. to sell its holdings in Rongshida-Maytag, subject to regulatory approval and negotiation of final contract terms. Based on the current status of the negotiations, Maytag recorded a charge of $3.3 million during the third quarter of 2003 within
discontinued operations to write down its investment in Rongshida-Maytag to its estimated realizable value. A final closing is dependent upon additional negotiations of terms and government approval.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.



Maytag has two reportable segments: home appliances and commercial appliances (see additional discussion and financial information in the Segment Reporting
section of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).



Net Sales:Consolidated net sales were $1.221 billion in the third quarter of 2003, an increase of 5 percent compared to the same period in 2002. For the first nine months of 2003, consolidated net sales were $3.520 billion, which was down slightly from
$3.539 billion for the same period in 2002.



Home appliances net
sales, which include major appliances, floor care products and international export sales, were 5 percent higher in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. For the third quarter of 2003, increases in sales of major appliances
were partially offset by lower sales of floor care products. Sales of major appliances for the third quarter of 2003 increased due to industry strength and product introductions by Maytag. Also, Maytags major appliance unit market share
increased in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2002 with improvements in all categories except refrigeration. The decline in floor care was due to a decrease in unit market share, pricing decreases, and a product mix shift
within the industry towards products in lower price categories. New floor care products are planned for introduction in the fourth quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2004 that are intended to compete at the lower price points. For the first
nine months of 2003, net sales decreased 1 percent as a decrease in sales of floor care products was mostly offset by increased sales of major appliances.



U.S. industry unit shipments of major appliances were up 10 percent in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 and were up 3.1 percent for the first
nine months of 2003. For the full year of 2003, the Company expects the major appliances industry to be up 3 percent compared to 2002. Floor care industry unit shipments were up 10.6 percent in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the same period
in 2002 and are up 1.3 percent for the first nine months of 2003. Maytag expects floor care industry unit shipments for the full year 2003 to be flat to up slightly.



Commercial appliances net sales, which include vending equipment and commercial cooking products, were flat in the third quarter of
2003 compared to 2002. A decrease in sales of glass front venders was offset by increased sales of traditional venders, refurbished venders and coin changer products. The increased sales of these non-traditional products resulted in a 2 percent
increase in net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Based on its internal estimates, Maytag expects the cold beverage vending equipment industry to be down approximately 15 percent in
2003 compared to 2002. However, the Company expects its increased average selling prices and its expanded business initiatives to offset much of the industry weakness.



Gross Profit:Consolidated gross profit as a percent of sales declined to 18.1 percent in the third quarter of 2003 from 20.9 percent
in the same period in 2002. In the third quarter of 2002, Maytag recognized a gain on the sale of a distribution center of $8.3 million that was recorded as a reduction in costs of goods sold. For the nine months of 2003, consolidated gross profit
declined as a percent of sales to 18.0 percent from 21.6 percent in the prior year period. The decline in gross margin as a percentage of sales for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2003 is primarily attributable to lower priced and
lower margin floor care products in the Home Appliances segment. At the beginning of 2003, in response to price pressures, the Company reduced prices for several floor care products. As these prices did not result in increased volume, the impact on
gross profit as a percent of sales was significant.



In addition to the
unfavorable impact from lower priced floor care products, the Company has incurred significant increases in pension and post-retirement medical expenses for the first nine months of 2003, primarily due to assumption changes for 2003. The assumption
changes included a lower discount rate, a lower

##### Table of Contents

expected rate of return on pension assets, and a higher trend rate for health care costs as compared to the assumptions
used for 2002. For 2004, the Company expects additional increases in pension and post-retirement expenses due to further reductions in the assumption for discount rates. Maytags total pension and post-retirement medical expenses are expected
to increase in 2004 by approximately $17.0 million.



During the first six
months of 2003, material cost increases, primarily for steel, also negatively impacted gross profit as a percent of sales. However, the Company was able to negotiate reductions in steel prices and other commodities to mitigate the effect of material
cost increases in the third quarter. For the full year of 2004, Maytag expects to purchase steel at the current third quarter prices, which are slightly above 2002 price levels.



Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were 12.0 percent of sales in
the third quarter of 2003 compared to 11.6 percent of sales in the same period in 2002. The primary reason for the increase was a planned increase in total advertising expense that matched scheduled product introductions during the quarter.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were 11.5 percent of sales in the first nine months of 2003 compared to 12.3 percent of sales in the same period in 2002. The primary reason for the decline was a planned reduction in
discretionary spending, including a substantial decrease in national advertising expenses in the first half of 2003, partially offset by an increase in national advertising expenses in the third quarter of 2003. Several cost reduction initiatives
also resulted in lower general and administrative expenses. These cost reduction initiatives were implemented to help offset the anticipated increases in material costs and pension expense. Maytag has also implemented restructuring plans that are
facilitating lower general and administrative costs.



Restructuring
Charges: In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company announced it would close its refrigeration manufacturing facility in Galesburg, Illinois by the end of 2004. The total pre-tax restructuring charges are now anticipated to be in the range of
$160 to $170 million, an increase of $25 to $30 million from previous estimates. This increase is due to unanticipated supplier penalties for falling below required purchase levels at the Galesburg facility and changes in estimates for accelerated
depreciation and severance charges. A $67.1 million pre-tax restructuring charge was recorded in 2002 involving pension and postretirement health care benefit curtailments, asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and severance and related costs.
The remaining expenses are expected to be recorded in 2003 and 2004. An estimated $43 million of the total restructuring charge is expected to be cash expenditures primarily involving severance, costs to move equipment and the supplier penalties. It
is anticipated that the closure of the facility will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 1,500 positions by the end of 2004, with the majority of those positions held by hourly production workers. Approximately 450 positions have been
eliminated through September 30, 2003. The Company expects to generate $35 million of cost savings on an annualized basis after the refrigeration production is moved to an existing facility in Amana, Iowa and a new factory in Reynosa, Mexico. The
manufacturing of certain other refrigeration products has already been sourced to a third party. Pre-tax restructuring charges of $13.1 million and $34.0 million were recorded in the third quarter and first nine months of 2003, respectively. Cash
expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 related to this charge were $1.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively.



In the second quarter of 2003, Maytag implemented an additional restructuring program primarily consisting of a salaried workforce reduction of 510 jobs. It recorded a
pre-tax charge of $16.5 million in the second quarter of 2003 including $11.3 million of severance and related costs. The remaining $5.2 million charge was for early retirement incentives recorded in Accrued pension cost. The workforce reduction
resulted in cost savings estimated to have ranged between $8 and $10 million in the third quarter of 2003 and is expected to result in cost savings of approximately $40 million on an annualized basis. Total cash expenditures related to this charge
are expected to be approximately $11 million of which $5.0 million and $9.9 million were expended in the third quarter and first nine months of 2003, respectively.

Total restructuring reserve activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 can be found in the Restructuring
Charges section of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.



Operating Income:Consolidated operating income as a percent of sales for the third quarter of 2003 was 5.0 percent, compared to 9.3 percent in 2002. Consolidated operating income as a percent of sales for the first nine months of
2003 was 5.1 percent, compared to 9.5 percent in 2002. The 2003 results include $13.1 million and $50.5 million of restructuring charges for the third quarter and first nine months of 2003, respectively, for the planned closing of the refrigeration
manufacturing facility in Galesburg, Illinois and a salaried workforce reduction. The decreases in operating income as a percent of sales were due to the declines in gross profit as a percent of sales and restructuring costs. For the first nine
months, these negative effects were partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales, as discussed above.



Home appliances operating income as a percent of sales for the third quarter of 2003 was 5.9 percent, compared to 10.2 percent in 2002. Operating income as a
percent of sales for the first nine months of 2003 was 6.1 percent, compared to 10.8 percent in 2002. The 2003 results include $13.1 million and $49.1 million of restructuring charges for the third quarter and first nine months of 2003,
respectively, for the planned closing of the refrigeration manufacturing facility in Galesburg, Illinois, and a salaried workforce reduction. The 2003 declines in operating income as a percent of sales were also significantly impacted by lower floor
care pricing and increased pension, postretirement medical, and material costs.



Commercial appliances operating income as a percent of sales for the third quarter of 2003 was 7.1 percent, compared to 9.0 percent in 2002. Commercial appliances operating income as a percent of sales for the first nine months
of 2003 was 7.0 percent, compared to 7.4 percent in 2002. The decrease in operating income as a percent of sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2003 occurred because of higher marketing and other costs within commercial cooking.



General corporate operating expenses were 18 percent higher in the third
quarter of 2003 compared to 2002 due to severance and recruiting costs and increased pension and post-retirement medical expenses. General corporate operating expenses increased 1 percent for the first nine months of 2003 compared to 2002 as lower
incentive compensation expense accruals were offset by severance, recruiting costs and increased pension and postretirement medical expenses.



Interest Expense: Interest expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2003 was 13 percent and 14 percent lower than 2002, respectively, due to both
reduced debt levels and lower average interest rates.



Income Taxes:During the second quarter of 2003, the Company lowered its effective tax rate from 34 percent to 33 percent for the full year of 2003. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2003 is due to lower expected earnings for the year that causes
fixed dollar tax credits to become a more significant component of the tax provision calculation, therefore reducing the effective tax rate.



Discontinued Operations: During the fourth quarter of 2001, Maytag committed to a plan to dispose of its interest in Rongshida-Maytag, a joint venture located in
China. The business was classified as a discontinued operation during that quarter. On June 30, 2003, the Company announced a tentative agreement with Elco Brandt S.A. to sell its holdings in Rongshida-Maytag subject to regulatory approvals and
negotiation of final contract terms. Based on the current status of the negotiations, the Company recorded an after-tax loss of $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2003 to write down its investment in Rongshida-Maytag to its estimated realizable
value. A final closing is dependent upon additional negotiations of terms and government approval.



In connection with the 2001 sale of Blodgett, a manufacturer of cooking products, Maytag received $18.2 million of notes receivable but recorded a valuation reserve of $9.7 million against the note due to the credit
status of the buyer ($8.5 million, net). In the third quarter of 2003, Maytag received a payment of $13.2

million in principal and $3.3 million of accrued interest against these notes receivable. Of the $13.2 million payment,
$8.5 million was applied against the notes receivables with the remaining $4.7 million recorded as a reversal of the valuation reserve and recognized as a gain on discontinued operations in the consolidated income statement. Future principal
payments on the remaining notes receivable balance will also be recognized as a gain on discontinued operations.



Net Income: The decreases in net income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2003, compared to 2002, were due primarily to the decrease in operating
income. The decreases in diluted earnings per share for the third quarter and first nine months of 2003 compared to 2002 were also due primarily to the decrease in operating income as average diluted shares outstanding were comparable.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



The Companys primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operating activities
and borrowings. Detailed information on cash flows is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.



Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities: Cash flow provided by operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, changes in working capital items, changes in pension
assets and liabilities and postretirement medical benefits. Non-cash items include depreciation and amortization and deferred income taxes. Working capital items consist primarily of accounts receivable, inventories, other current assets and other
current liabilities.



Net cash provided by continuing operations for the first
nine months of 2003 was $236 million, an increase of $59 million from the prior year. The Company achieved its 2003 target of $135 million in voluntary pension contributions during the first nine months of 2003. This is equal to the amount
contributed for the same period in 2002. Other current assets decreased compared to December 31, 2002 due primarily to a tax refund received in 2003. Working capital increased as of September 30, 2003 as accounts receivable balances were higher
compared to December 31, 2002 due primarily to higher monthly sales in September 2003 compared to December 2002. This was partially offset by increased accounts payable due to continued focus on management of payment terms.



A substantial portion of accounts receivable is concentrated among major national retailers.
A significant loss of business with or failure of any of these retailers could have an adverse impact on ongoing operations. The Company continues to sell products to a major retailer that recently emerged from bankruptcy. The accounts receivable
balance with this retailer was less than 2 percent of net accounts receivable at September 30, 2003.



Certain accounts receivable are sold to an unconsolidated finance company in which Maytag has a 50 percent ownership interest and shares equally in profits or losses. These accounts receivable are sold without
recourse, although the Company is required to repurchase repossessed inventory. No such repurchases have been required to date nor are any anticipated. A total of $27.6 million of receivables and $7.1 million of debt were outstanding at September
30, 2003 on the unconsolidated finance companys balance sheet. The investment in the finance company is accounted for using the equity method and a total investment of $1.9 million was recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September
30, 2003.



Total Investing Activities: Maytags capital
expenditures represent continued investments in its businesses for such items as new product designs, cost reduction programs, replacement of equipment, targeted capacity expansion and government mandated product requirements. Capital expenditures
for the first nine months of 2003 were $133 million compared to $157 million in 2002. The Company plans to expend between $200 and $220 million on capital expenditures in 2003 compared to $230 million in 2002.

##### Table of Contents

In the third quarter of 2003, Maytag received $13.2 million in principal and $3.3 million in interest payments related to
its 2001 sale of Blodgett. For further discussion, see Discontinued Operations within this Managements Discussion and Analysis.



Total Financing Activities: Dividend payments on common stock for the first nine months of both 2003 and 2002 were $42 million or $0.54 per share.



Any funding requirements for future investing and financing activities in excess of cash on
hand and generated from operations will be supplemented by borrowings. A commercial paper program is supported by two credit agreements with a consortium of lenders that provide revolving credit facilities of $200 million each, totaling $400
million. These agreements expire April 29, 2004 and May 3, 2004. The Consolidated Balance Sheet includes $118 million of commercial paper outstanding as of September 30, 2003 that is classified as notes payable. The credit agreements include
financial covenants with respect to interest coverage and debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2003 and expects to be in compliance with these
financial covenants through the end of 2003. The existence of an event of default under the credit agreements or the termination of the credit agreements because of an event of default would adversely impact the Companys ability to borrow
through the sale of commercial paper. If additional funds are required, the Company has a shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission providing the ability to issue publicly an aggregate of $100 million of debt
securities as of September 30, 2003.



In the first nine months of 2003,
Maytags debt obligations decreased by $85 million, reflecting cash payments of $77 million and a decrease in long-term debt related to a decrease in the fair value of interest rate swaps of $8 million. The current portion of long-term debt
decreased $184 million due primarily to a $150 million principal payment on a medium term note. Long-term debt increased $160 million due primarily to the issuance of $200 million of medium term notes, the proceeds of which were used principally to
pay down commercial paper. For the full year 2003, the Company expects to reduce debt obligations by $100 million.



Shareowners Equity:Shareowners equity remains at a low level due to a share repurchase program that increased the cost of treasury stock held from
$219 thousand at December 31, 1994 to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2003. The Company has also made pension liability adjustments as required by FASB Statement No. 87 due to the underfunded status of its pension plans that reduced equity in 2002 and
2001, and expects to make a pension liability adjustment in the fourth quarter of 2003 that will further reduce equity. Management does not expect the low level of equity to pose a risk to liquidity because cash flow is strong and there are no
covenants in any debt instruments that include equity or debt-to-asset ratios.



Market Risks



The Company is exposed to foreign currency
exchange risk for its transactions, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. To manage certain foreign exchange exposures, foreign currency forward contracts are utilized. Portions of the anticipated foreign currency denominated
export sales transactions, which are denominated primarily in Canadian dollars, are hedged.



There is also an exposure to commodity price risk due to the purchase of selected commodities used in the manufacture of products. To reduce the effect of changing raw material prices for selected commodities,
commodity swap agreements are used to hedge a portion of anticipated raw material purchases on selected commodities.



Starting in 2003 the change in fair market values of currency and commodity hedges are recorded in Other-net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. In 2002
these hedges were deemed effective hedges under SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and changes in fair market value were recorded in Accumulated Comprehensive Loss on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets.

The Company also is exposed to interest rate risk in its debt portfolio and thus uses interest rate swap contracts to
adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The swaps involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate payments without exchanging the notional principal amount.



There have been no material changes in the reported market risks of the Company since
December 31, 2002. See further discussion of these market risks and related financial instruments in the Maytag Corporation annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.



Future Obligations and Commitments



Future obligations and commitments, in part, consisted of the following:



|                                     |  | Total |           | Future Obligations Due by Year
|------------------------------------ |  | ----- | --------- | ------------------------------
|In thousands                         |  |       | 2003      |                               
|Long-term debt                       |  | $     | 909,371   |                               
|Notes payable                        |  |       | 117,870   |                               
|Commitments for capital expenditures |  |       | 110,525   |                               
|                                     |  |       |           |                               
|Future obligations and commitments   |  | $     | 1,137,766 |                               



In the normal course of business
operations, Maytag also has long-term purchase commitments covering certain raw materials and operating leases that are not included in the table above.



Contingencies



Maytag has contingent liabilities arising in the normal course of business, including pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes and other claims. The Companys legal department estimates the costs to
settle pending litigation, including legal expenses, based on its experience involving similar cases, specific facts known, and, if applicable, based on judgments of outside counsel. The Company believes the outcome of these matters will not have a
materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



In February 2003, a jury entered a verdict of $2.1 million in compensatory damages and $17.9 million in punitive damages against Amana Company, L.P, the entity from which Maytag purchased the Amana businesses in 2001.
The case involved the termination of a commercial distributorship for Amana products prior to Maytags acquisition of the Amana business. The punitive damage award was reduced to $10 million by the trial court after post-trial motions. The
Company is appealing the entire verdict and believes that the ultimate resolution of the case will not have a material impact on its financial position.



As of September 30, 2003, approximately $38 million in undrawn stand-by letters of credit were available which are primarily utilized to back workers compensation claims
and environmental costs in the event Maytag fails to fund these obligations.

Forward-Looking Statements



This Managements Discussion and Analysis contains statements that are not historical facts and are considered
forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of the terms: expect(s), intend(s), may impact,
plan(s), should, believe(s), anticipate(s), on track or similar terms. The Company or its representatives may also make similar forward-looking statements from time to time orally or in
writing. The reader is cautioned that these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, or other factors that may cause (and in some cases have caused) actual results to differ materially from those described in the
forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: business conditions and growth of industries in which the Company competes, including changes in economic conditions in the geographic areas
where its operations exist or products are sold; timing, start-up and customer acceptance of newly designed products; shortages of manufacturing capacity; competitive factors, such as price competition and new product introductions; significant loss
of business or inability to collect accounts receivable from a major national retailer; the cost and availability of raw materials and purchased components, including the impact of tariffs; the timing and progress with which it can continue to
achieve further cost reductions and savings from its selling, general and administrative expenses and restructuring initiatives; financial viability of contractors or insurers; union labor relationships; progress on capital projects; the impact of
business acquisitions or dispositions; the ability of Maytag to integrate the operations from acquisitions into its operations; increasing pension and postretirement health care costs; the costs of complying with governmental regulations;
litigation, product warranty claims, energy supply, pricing, or supplier disruptions, currency fluctuations or the material worsening of economic and political situations around the world.



These factors may not constitute all factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statement. The Company operates in a continually changing business environment and new facts emerge from time to time. It cannot predict such factors nor can it assess the impact, if any, of
such factors on its financial position or its results of operations. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a predictor of actual results. Maytag disclaims any responsibility to update any forward-looking statement
provided in this document.



Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.



See discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk in Market Risks section of Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.



Item 4. Controls and Procedures



The Company carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures pursuant
to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the third quarter of 2003. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the periodic SEC filings for Maytag (including its consolidated subsidiaries).



There was no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2003 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to
materially affect Maytags internal control over financial reporting.
