Company Overview
Lexmark International, Inc. is a leading developer, manufacturer
and supplier of printing solutions -- including laser and inkjet
printers, multifunction products, associated supplies and services
-- for offices and homes in more than 150 countries. Recognized
worldwide for its customer-driven approach to developing its
wide array of award winning products, Lexmark is meeting the
demanding and constantly changing workflow management needs of
today's businesses, and the performance and convenience demands
of home-printing consumers.
Since the company was launched in 1991, Lexmark's commitment to
innovation, ownership of technology and a unique path to market
have been the ingredients of operational and financial success.
An industry trendsetter, Lexmark was the first company to market
4800 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi) and 3600 x 1200 dpi resolutions,
develop 1200 dpi laser and inkjet printers, produce standalone
photoprinters, and offer a sub-US$100 inkjet printer. These innovations
formed the foundation of Lexmark's reputation for quality and leadership
that led to substantial market share gains in recent years. Consequently,
Lexmark has been transformed from an ambitious start up to a US$4.4
billion enterprise (FY2002). The company has reported compounded
annual revenue growth of 12 percent over the past five years, and
has seen earnings per share increase from 58 cents (split adjusted)
in 1996 to US$2.79 in 2002. Shareholders have responded to that
financial success with an increase in share price since going public
(NYSE: LXK) in November 1995 that significantly outpaced the S&P500
during that period.
Lexmark's long-term growth prospects are fueled by several market
and industry trends, including rapid expansion in emerging markets
such as Latin America and Asia Pacific, the explosion of color
printing in the office, and the impact of the Internet as a vehicle
for commerce and a catalyst for increased printing trends.
 |
Unlike some of its competitors, Lexmark
develops and owns the technology inside its products, giving
the company a competitive edge and allowing the company to
reduce research and development time between product introductions.
This also allows for the timely integration of customer input
into product design and development.

The corporation and its products have
received nearly 2,000 awards and industry accolades around the
world: Business Week’s “InfoTech
100;” Fortune’s “Most Admired Companies;” Forbes
Super 500; Fortune's "Editors' Choice;" PC World's "Top
10 Printers;" and PC World's "Best Buy."
