For the quarter ended AprilJuly 2, 1994, consolidated net sales were $200.7$193.0 million
compared to $186.1$177.5 million in 1993, an increase of 7.8%up 8.7%. Net income after
taking into account the cumulative effect of a new accounting standard for
postemployment benefits, was $11.4$9.2 million, a
32.1%12.2% increase over 1993, and netthe second quarter of 1993. Net income per share
increased to $.36$.30 per share, a 33.3%20.0% increase over the same quarter a year
ago.
Quarterly results were influenced by comparatively strong sales for most
Company products. NetFor the six months ended July 2, 1994, consolidated net sales were $393.7
million compared to $363.6 million in 1993, up 8.3%. Net income for the
period was $20.6 million, a record22.4% improvement over the $16.8 million earned in
1993. Earnings per share for the six months were $.66 compared to $.52 in
1993, a 26.9% increase.
Second quarter 1994 results set new net sales, income, and income per share
records in terms of being the best second quarter in the Company's history.
The second quarter of the fiscal year is typically the Company's weakest
quarter because of the seasonal trend of sales. Office furniture industry
sales are reported to be growing at a 7% annual rate, so the Company is
continuing to grow at a faster pace than the industry in general.
Operating results for the second quarter continue to reflect a favorable trend
that the Company established in the first quarter; however, they were
not as high asquarter. Increased sales from new
products and continued efforts to control and reduce costs have been the
previous third and fourth quarters. Quarterly profitabil-
ity benefited from continuingimpetus for improved profitability. The Company continues to be optimistic
about its 1994 financial prospects.
page 10
Although the competitive environment continues to affect margins, the
Company's ongoing improvements in productivity and cost reductions,control have enabled
it to press on with investments in machinery and equipment, tooling, and new
product introductions,development. Net capital expenditures for property, plant, and
past organizational restructuring. Net income
and net income per shareequipment were both$16,643,000 for the first six months of 1994 compared to
$13,558,000 in 1993.
The business consolidation of the XLM Company into The HON Company announced
during the first quarter recordsof 1994 is progressing as well.
The Company was required to adopt Financial Accounting Standards No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (FAS 112), and No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (FAS 115),
by January 2, 1994, the beginning of fiscal year 1994. The cumulative effect
of adoption of FAS 112 decreased net income by $237,000 ($.01 per share). The
impact of its adoption on future earnings or financial condition is not
significant. The financial effect of adopting FAS 115 was nominal.
The 8% increase in net sales for the quarter compared favorably with an
industrywide increase of 5% for January and February reported by office
furniture industry sources. Sales performance for Heatilator Inc., which
serves the home building products industry, also showed significant improvement
during the quarter.
The ongoing improvement in the Company's financial performance reflects the
progress achieved through a program of rapid continuous improvement in all
areas of activity. These first quarter results are encouraging and set the
stage for a good year. The office furniture industry is once again a growing
industry and this factor, coupled with continuing moderate inflation, is
expected to stimulate continued Company growth.
Anplanned. This operational
change is in process that is expected to enhance the Company's overall market leverage and
penetration in the rapidly growing retail office furniture channel. The Company s operating company, XLM Company, has become
partmarket.
During the second quarter of The HON Company. It has operations in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and Avon,
New York. XLM Company was the Company's initial entry into the mass retail
market for filing products for the home and office. Subsequently, XLM Company
developed a family of commercial filing products to enhance its product
offering. Combining the retail and commercial products of XLM Company and The
HON Company and using The HON Company's broader-based distribution channels for
these products will provide an opportunity to increase market share and overall
company profitability.
In addition, several key organizational changes were announced. Robert J.
Kroon, Group Vice President, HON INDUSTRIES, will shift his total effort to
developing new office furniture products. Mr. Kroon previously served as
President of BPI Inc., Chandler Attwood Limited, and Holga Inc. in addition to
his HON INDUSTRIES executive role. Robert M. Ginn, formerly Vice President,
Marketing, HON INDUSTRIES, was appointed President, BPI Inc. Richard E.
Parker, formerly President of XLM Company, was appointed Vice President,
Marketing, HON INDUSTRIES. These operational and organizational changes
collectively mirror the Company's efforts to capitalize on ever-changing
marketing conditions to improve consolidated profitability and develop new
business growth opportunities for the future.
Cash and short-term investments as of April 2, 1994, were $36.3 million.
Capital investment in more productive assets continues on the same accelerated
pace as last year.
The Company is using a 37.0% estimated annual effective income tax rate for
fiscal year 1994, the same rate used for fiscal year 1993.
At its February meeting, the HON INDUSTRIES Board of Directors announced the
election of two new Directors to the Company's Board: Robert W. Cox and Lorne
R. Waxlax. Mr. Cox is a Partner with Baker & McKenzie, the world's largest
multinational law firm, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. He started his
career with the firm in 1957. Currently he serves as Chairman of the Policy
Committee. Mr. Waxlax, until recently, served as Executive Vice President,
Diversified Group, of the Gillette Company. Gillette is a global manufacturer
and marketer of shaving and personal care products. He began his career with
Gillette in 1958. Both new Directors will stand for reelection at the
Company's May 10, 1994, Annual Shareholders' Meeting.
The Board also voted to increase the Company's quarterly dividend from $.10 to
$.11 per share of common stock. This dividend change was reflected in the
quarterly dividend paid on March 1, 1994, to shareholders of record on February
24, 1994.
Further, the Board voted to increase the authorized amount for repurchase of
HON INDUSTRIES common stock by another $20.0 million. The stock repurchase
program was initially authorized by the Board in 1985. The Company acquired
254,840 shares of its common stock on the open market during the quarter under
the program, at a cost of approximately $7.1 million. As of April 2, 1994,
approximately $23.0 million remained available of the authorized amount for
future repurchase of common stock.
On April 29, 1994, the Company received an Imminent or Substantial Endangerment
Orderassigned the production of
systems components that retrofit all major competitive lines of new and Remedial Action Order ("Order") fromused
panels to Chandler Attwood Limited. Components include work surfaces, storage
units, hardware, and related items previously marketed as "Plan A" and
produced by BPI Inc. Now marketed under the brand name Archer Bond, the
products will be manufactured at Chandler Attwood locations across the
country. This action is intended to further reduce cost of production and
shipping related to this product line. At the same time, it will increase the
utilization of Chandler Attwood manufacturing capacity.
State of California environmental authorities notified the Company that it was
part of an action relating to a clean-up of hazardous substances at the former
Firestone Tire and Rubber Company ("Firestone") site in South Gate, California (the "Site"). The order applies to the Company's plant property and
names the Company along with Firestone andCalifornia. Several
other present and past owners of
properties contained within the Site. The Order specifically refers to the
former Firestone tire plant property (now owned and operated by Indian Wells
Inc.) as the primary source of the alleged hazardous wastes.parties are included in this action. Based on information available to
the Company, it is not believed that the CompanyHON INDUSTRIES operations at the Site or its current plantthis site
hashave generated any of the alleged hazardous wastes or that this event will
have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operation.
Atoperations.
Cash and short-term investments as of July 2, 1994, were $26.3 million. The
second quarter is typically the Company's lowest seasonal cash position.
Capital lease obligations increased during the second quarter of 1994 as a
result of extending the term of The HON Company mainframe computer lease.
The Company acquired 176,327 shares of its May 9 meeting,common stock on the open market
during the quarter under its ongoing stock repurchase program at a cost of
approximately $5.6 million. As of July 2, 1994, approximately $17.4 million
remained available for repurchase of common stock under the program as
authorized by the Company's Board of Directors declared aDirectors.
The Company's 157th consecutive quarterly common stock dividend of $.11 per
share payablewas paid on June 1, 1994, to shareholders of record on May 20, 1994.
