The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the respective pro forma weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires entities to recognize all instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. As amended, the adoption of SFAS No. 133, effective for the Company as of January 1, 2001, did not impact the results of operations or financial condition of the Company as the Company is not a party to any derivative transactions that fall under the provisions of this statement.
As the Company has only one reportable segment – its power boat manufacturing business – the majority of the disclosures required by SFAS No. 131 do not apply to the Company. In addition, the Company’s results of operations and its financial condition are not significantly reliant upon any single customer or the Company’s foreign operations.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000
Net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001, decreased $1,567,000 or 4% to $36,318,000 compared with $37,885,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The decline in net sales was due to a decrease in the number of boats sold, as the company shifted production to larger boats, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price per boat.
Cost of goods sold for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $27,833,000 compared to $29,499,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $1,666,000 or 6%. Cost of goods sold, as a percent of net sales, decreased from 78% in 2000 to 77% in 2001. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was due to a favorable model mix as compared to the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001 were $4,626,000 compared to $4,467,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $159,000 or 4%. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased from 12 percent in 2000 to 13 percent in 2001.
Operating profit for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $3,859,000, a decrease of $60,000 compared to an operating profit of $3,919,000 in 2000.
Interest income was $116,000 in the first quarter of 2001 compared to $59,000 in the first quarter of 2000. As part of the spin-off from RPC, Inc., Marine Products received $13.8 million in cash. Marine Products generates interest income from investment of its available cash primarily in marketable securities.
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, was $2,465,000 or $0.14 pro forma diluted earnings per share compared to net income of $6,696,000 or $0.39 pro forma diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. In the first quarter of 2000, Marine Products recorded a pre-tax gain of $6,817,000 ($4,227,000 after-tax), or $0.25 after-tax diluted earnings per share related to settlement of a claim. Net income excluding the gain would have been approximately $2,469,000 or $0.14 diluted earnings per share.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $1,127,000 compared to $7,441,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a $6,314,000 or 85% decrease. Included in the $7,441,000 balance at March 31, 2000 was a $4,227,000 after tax gain on settlement of a claim.
Cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $547,000 compared to $1,845,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a $1,298,000 or 70% decrease. The decrease relates primarily to lower capital expenditures. See footnote 1 to the consolidated financial statements where the transfer of cash and marketable securities from RPC, Inc. to the company in connection with the spin-off is discussed.
Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $614,000 compared to cash used for financing activities of $8,263,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a $8,877,000 decrease. These cash flows relate to the changes in accounts receivable owed to the company by RPC, Inc, during the respective periods. See footnote 1 to consolidated financial statements where the elimination of the Receivable from RPC, Inc in connection with the spin-off is discussed.
Funding for future liquidity and capital resource requirements is expected to be provided from cash generated from operations.
