Post Balance Sheet Events Effective July 1, 1997, the Corporation acquired F. R. Gross Co., a small manufacturer of heat transfer rolls for the plastics, packaging, printing and other industries. The acquisition, for approximately $9,400,000 cash, including debt assumed and retired, will be accounted for as a purchase transaction in the third quarter. Effective August 1, 1997, the Corporation acquired Atlantic Grinding & Welding Inc. This small manufacturer of feed screws, with operations in New Hampshire and South Carolina, will expand New Castle Industries' market coverage to the plastics processing industry. The acquisition, for approximately $2,600,000 cash, including debt assumed and retired, will be accounted for as a purchase transaction in the third quarter. 6. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 128 for its consolidated financial statements beginning with the year ending December 31, 1997. Upon adoption, the standard also requires the restatement of all prior period earnings per share information presented. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 130 beginning with its consolidated financial statements for the three months ending March 31, 1998. SFAS No. 131 requires certain disclosures about segment information in interim and annual financial statements and related information about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company must adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 131 for its consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1998. The adoptions of SFAS No. 128, SFAS No. 130, and SFAS No. 131 are not expected to have a material effect on the measurement of the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows; the Company is reviewing possible changes in disclosures that may be called for. - 7 - AMPCO-PITTSBURGH CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS TheOperations for the Six and Three MonthsMonth Periods Ended March 31,June 30, 1997 Compared With the Three Months Ended March 31,and 1996 Operations Net sales for the six and three month periods of $40,834,0001997 were $83,925,000 and $43,091,000 compared to $81,865,000 and $40,767,000 for the same periods of the prior year. Overall sales increased by 2.5% and 5.7% for the first half and second quarter of 1997, were comparablerespectively, as several of the Corporation's operations experienced higher shipment levels due to 1996's sales of $41,098,000. Duringcontinued growth in export business and improved economic activity in the first quarter of 1997, themarkets served. The order backlog decreased slightly by $2,500,000stood at $107,400,000 at June 30, 1997 compared to $111,600,000$114,100,000 at MarchDecember 31, 1997.1996. The decline in the backlog is due primarily to a decrease in forged hardened steel roll orders. The cost of products sold as a percentage of sales wasrelationships for the six and three months ended June 30, 1997 were 68.6% and 68.2% in 1997, respectively. This compares with the prior comparable periods at 70.7% and 71.5% in 1996.70.0%, respectively. A more profitable sales mix together with increased margins resulted in an improved ratioratios of cost of products sold to sales in the 1997 first quarter.1997. Selling and administrative expenses were approximately the same at $5,920,000 in 1997 decreased by $238,000 or 2% for the year-to-date period and $183,000 or 3% for the second quarter, both compared to $5,975,000 in 1996. Depreciation expense of $1,671,000 in 1997 was increased comparedthe prior year. The decrease is principally due to $1,573,000 in 1996. Principallylower sales commission costs as a result of a mix change towards sales on which no commission is payable. The relationships of selling and administrative expenses to net sales for the margin improvement, incomesix and three months ended June 30, 1997 were 14.1% and 13.8%, respectively. This compares with the prior comparable periods at 14.7% and 15.0%, respectively. Depreciation expense of $3,336,000 and $1,665,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 1997 increased approximately 6% compared to the prior year due principally to an increase in capital expenditures. Income from operations of $5,382,000 inincreased 28% for both the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1997 increased by 29% compared to $4,170,000the comparable 1996 periods. These increases are principally a result of improved margins, a more profitable sales mix and slightly higher volumes. - 8 - Gains of $937,000 and $722,000 were recognized in 1996. Other income (expense) - net was $493,000 inthe six and three month periods ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $79,000 in 1996. The improvement principally reflects gainsrespectively, from the sale of investments and foreign currency exchange gains. As a result of all of the above, theinvestments. The Corporation had net income for the six and three months ended June 30, 1997 of $3,795,000 in 1997 compared to $2,648,000 in 1996.$8,127,000 and $4,331,000, respectively. This compares with net income for the prior year comparable periods of $5,559,000 and $2,910,000, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net cash flow from operating activities was positive in 1997 and 1996 at $7,148,000$13,655,000 and $1,949,000,$5,700,000, respectively. The increased cash flow in 1997 resulted primarily from a $1,212,000$2,469,000 increase in income from operations and a decrease in working capital requirements. A reduction in the level of accounts receivable during the 1997 quarterperiod compared to an increase in accounts receivable during the 1996 quarterperiod accounted for $3,500,000$6,000,000 of the difference in cash flow. - 7 - Capital expenditures for 1997 totaled $3,728,000$8,005,000 compared to $1,113,000$3,817,000 in 1996. The Corporation anticipates capital expenditures for 1997 to approximate $16,000,000 with the major expenditure being for plant and equipment at Union Electric Steel's plants to be completed by the end of the year. Unexpended industrial revenue bond proceeds of $9,767,000 were available to fund a portion of this capital program and $1,830,000$5,640,000 of these proceeds were drawn down during the first quarterhalf of 1997. Funds generated internally are expected to be sufficient to finance the balance of the capital expenditures. Cash outflows with respect to financing activities in 1997 reflect an increase in the quarterly dividend rate to $.06 per share compared to $.025 per share in 1996, and an additional prior year-end dividend of $960,000 in 1997 or $.10 per share, as compared to $.05 per share paid in 1996. The Corporation maintains short-term lines of credit and a revolving credit agreement in excess of the cash needs of its businesses. The total available at March 31,June 30, 1997 was $14,500,000. Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Corporation expended $11,800,000 of its cash holdings to acquire two businesses (also see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 5). - 9 - With respect to environmental concerns, the Corporation has been named a potentially responsible party at certain third party sites. The Corporation has accrued its share of the estimated cost of remedial actions it would likely be required to contribute. In addition, the Corporation has provided for environmental clean-up costs related to preparing its discontinued business facilities for sale. While it is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential cost of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly any future remediation and other compliance efforts, in the opinion of management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws and the potential liability for all environmental proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Corporation. The nature and scope of the Corporation's business brings it into regular contact with a variety of persons, businesses and government agencies in the ordinary course of business. Consequently, the Corporation and its subsidiaries from time to time are named in various legal actions. The Corporation does not anticipate that its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity will be materially affected by the costs of known, pending or threatened litigation. - 810 - PART II - OTHER INFORMATION AMPCO-PITTSBURGH CORPORATION Items 1-3.None Item 4.
