Results of Operations
Results of the Commercial/Industrial Lighting Segment in the first half of fiscal 2002 include the operations of LSI Lightron (acquired November 2000), and results of the Image Segment include the operations of LSI Adapt (acquired January 2001). All share and per share data reflect the 3-for-2 stock split which was effective November 29, 2001.
Page 11
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000
Net sales of $76,694,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 increased 28% from fiscal 2001 second quarter net sales of $59,839,000. Commercial / Industrial Lighting Segment net sales increased 15% and Image Segment net sales increased 36% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to the prior year. The increase in Commercial / Industrial Lighting Segment is attributed entirely to the November 2000 acquisition of LSI Lightron (about 24% of net sales of this Segment in the second quarter of FY 2002 versus 9% in the second quarter of FY 2001). Excluding the acquisition of LSI Lightron, net sales in this segment decreased approximately 3% due primarily to economic softness in the industry. The increase in Image Segment net sales is primarily attributed to three factors. First is the inclusion of the results of LSI Adapt, acquired in January 2001 and representing approximately 6% of Image Segment net sales. Second is the volume gain in menu board systems resulting from the beginning of a roll out program with Burger King Corporation. Net sales to Burger King and various of its franchisees represented approximately 13% of total net sales and 20% of Image Segment net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Third is an increase in graphics business related to roll out image conversion programs for customers in the petroleum / convenience store market. Net sales of the Image Segment to the petroleum / convenience store market represented 36% and 37% of total net sales in the second quarters of fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, respectively. Sales to this market increased 26% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to the same period last year. While sales prices in some markets that the Company serves were increased, inflation did not have a significant impact on sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 as competitive pricing pressures held price increases to a minimum.
Gross profit of $21,740,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 increased 28% from last year’s gross profit of $17,040,000. The increase in amount of gross profit is due primarily to the 28% increase in net sales. Selling and administrative expenses increased 16% to $14,133,000 from $12,186,000. The increase was caused primarily by the additions of LSI Lightron and LSI Adapt, by an increased provision for uncollectible accounts receivable, and by the increase in net sales. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were at 18.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to 20.4% in the prior year due to lower selling costs associated with the Burger King menu board program. The Company continued the task of converting its business operating software and systems company-wide. Total implementation costs expensed were $173,000 ($0.01 per share, diluted) in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to $522,000 ($0.02 per share, diluted) in the same period of fiscal 2001. Expenditures are expected to continue through fiscal 2003.
The Company reported net interest expense of $142,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to net interest income of $121,000 in the same period of fiscal 2001. The change between years is primarily reflective of the Company being in a net borrowing position since November 2000 and in a net cash investment position prior to that date. The Company’s effective tax rate of 38.3% was lower than the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and lower than the second quarter of last year (both about 39%). The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2001 was 38.8%, and the fiscal 2002 effective tax rate is expected to be about the same.
Net income of $4,607,000 ($0.29 per share) in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 increased 52% from last year’s second quarter net income of $3,028,000 ($0.19 per share). The increase is primarily the result of increased gross profit from increased sales, partially offset by increased operating expenses, net interest expense and income taxes. Diluted earnings per
Page 12
share of $0.29 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 increased 53% from $0.19 per share reported in the same period last year. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share increased 2% in fiscal 2002 to 15,994,000 shares from 15,689,000 shares in 2001 as a result of common shares issued both for the exercise of stock options and for an acquisition during fiscal 2001.
SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO
SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000
Net sales of $143,743,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 increased 27% from fiscal 2001 second quarter net sales of $113,448,000. Commercial / Industrial Lighting Segment net sales increased 24% and Image Segment net sales increased 28% in the first half of fiscal 2002 as compared to the prior year. The increase in Commercial / Industrial Lighting Segment is attributed entirely to the November 2000 acquisition of LSI Lightron (about 23% of net sales of this Segment in the first half of FY 2002 versus 5% in the first half of FY 2001). Excluding the acquisition of LSI Lightron, net sales in this segment increased less than 1% due primarily to economic softness in the industry. The increase in Image Segment net sales is primarily attributed to three factors. First is the inclusion of the results of LSI Adapt, acquired in January 2001 and representing approximately 5% of Image Segment net sales. Second is the volume gain in menu board systems resulting from the beginning of a roll out program with Burger King Corporation. Net sales to Burger King and various of its franchisees represented approximately 11% of total net sales and 17% of Image Segment net sales in the first half of fiscal 2002. Third is an increase in graphics business related to roll out image conversion programs for customers in the petroleum / convenience store market. Net sales of the Image Segment to the petroleum / convenience store market represented 37% of total net sales in the first half of both fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001. Sales to this market increased 19% in the first half of fiscal 2002 as compared to the same period last year. While sales prices in some markets that the Company serves were increased, inflation did not have a significant impact on sales in the first half of fiscal 2002 as competitive pricing pressures held price increases to a minimum.
Gross profit of $40,824,000 in the first half of fiscal 2002 increased 26% from last year’s gross profit of $32,439,000. The increase in amount of gross profit is due primarily to the 27% increase in net sales. Selling and administrative expenses increased 17% to $26,917,000 from $23,067,000. The increase was caused primarily by the additions of LSI Lightron and LSI Adapt, by an increased provision for uncollectible accounts receivable, and by the increase in net sales. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were at 18.7% in the first half of fiscal 2002 as compared to 20.3% in the prior year due to lower selling costs associated with the Burger King menu board program. The Company continued the task of converting its business operating software and systems company-wide. Total implementation costs expensed were $307,000 ($0.01 per share, diluted) in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to $702,000 ($0.03 per share, diluted) in the same period of fiscal 2001. Expenditures are expected to continue through fiscal 2003.
The Company reported net interest expense of $378,000 in the first half of fiscal 2002 as compared to net interest income of $485,000 in the same period of fiscal 2001. The change between years is primarily reflective of the Company being in a net borrowing position since November 2000 and in a net cash investment position prior to that date. The Company’s effective tax rate of 38.6% was lower than the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and lower than the first half of last year (both about 39%). The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2001 was 38.8%, and the fiscal 2002 effective tax rate is expected to be about the same.
Page 13
Net income of $8,309,000 ($0.52 per share) in the first half of fiscal 2002 increased 38% from last year’s first half net income of $6,009,000 ($0.38 per share). The increase is primarily the result of increased gross profit from increased sales, partially offset by increased operating expenses, net interest expense and income taxes. Diluted earnings per share of $0.52 in the first half of fiscal 2002 increased 37% from $0.38 per share reported in the same period last year. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share increased 2% in fiscal 2002 to 15,991,000 shares from 15,674,000 shares in 2001 as a result of common shares issued both for the exercise of stock options and for an acquisition during fiscal 2001.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company considers its level of cash on hand, its current ratio and working capital levels to be its most important measures of short-term liquidity. For long-term liquidity indicators, the Company believes its ratio of long-term debt to equity and its historical levels of net cash flows from operating activities to be the most important measures.
At December 31, 2001 the Company had working capital of $59.5 million, compared to $62.1 million at June 30, 2001. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities decreased to 2.79 to 1 from 3.09 to 1. The decreased working capital is primarily attributed to decreased cash and cash equivalents, decreased accounts receivables, and increased accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by increased inventories and other current assets.
The Company generated $13.3 million of cash from operating activities in the first half of fiscal 2002 as compared to $4.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The increase in net cash flows from operating activities in fiscal 2002 is primarily the net result of increased net income, a reduction in accounts receivable, increased accounts payable and accrued expenses, and increased amortization expense, partially offset by increased inventories and increased payments of liabilities from discontinued operations.
As of December 31, 2001, the Company’s days sales outstanding were at approximately 66 days, decreased from 73 days at June 30, 2001 and 70 days at September 30, 2001. Collection cycles from a few large customers in the Image Segment, as well as several other customers, have been very slow due to a combination of factors, including customer cash availability and economic conditions. The majority of one such open customer account was converted into a collateralized note receivable during the second quarter, with the balance of the note down to $2.4 million as of December 31, 2001. This note has increasing semi-monthly scheduled payments and is to be paid in full by June 15, 2002. The Company also has unsecured accounts receivable as well as dedicated inventory from Kmart, the large national retailer that filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2002, with a total exposure of approximately $1.5 million. Subject to continual review, shipments to Kmart have resumed on a limited basis on open account. However, the Company believes that the receivables discussed above are ultimately collectible, net of certain amounts reserved for, and that aggregate allowances for doubtful accounts are adequate.
In addition to cash generated from operations, the Company’s primary source of liquidity continues to be its line of credit. The Company has an unsecured $50 million revolving line of credit with its bank group. As of January 29, 2002 there was approximately $35.8 million available on this line of credit. This line of credit is composed of a $30 million three year committed credit facility expiring in fiscal 2004 and a $20 million credit facility with an annual renewal in the third quarter of fiscal 2002, at which time the Company intends to renew this line of credit. The Company believes that the total of available
Page 14
lines of credit plus cash flows from operating activities is adequate for the Company’s fiscal 2002 operational and capital expenditure needs. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants. Capital expenditures of $6.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2002 compare to $3.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The primary cause of the increased spending is the new 192,000 square foot manufacturing facility currently under construction in New Windsor, New York for LSI Lightron. Capital expenditures totaling approximately $12 million are planned for fiscal 2002, exclusive of business acquisitions.
On January 21, 2002 the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share (approximately $942,000), to be paid February 12, 2002 to shareholders of record on February 5, 2002. During the first half of fiscal 2002, the Company paid cash dividends in the amount of $1.8 million, as compared to $2.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2001.
The Company used $7.2 million in financing activities in the first half of fiscal 2002 as compared to a generation of $5.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The change is the net result of the Company’s net $5.7 million pay down on funded debt in the first half of fiscal 2002 as compared to a net borrowing of $7.6 million of funded debt last year in the first half, partially offset by the difference in amount of dividend payments between years.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS No. 141), “Business Combinations,” and issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and requires that all business combinations be accounted for as purchases. In addition, SFAS No. 141 establishes new rules concerning recognition of intangible assets arising in a purchase business combination and requires enhanced disclosure of information in the period in which a business combination is completed. SFAS No. 142 establishes new rules on accounting for goodwill whereby goodwill will no longer be amortized to expense, but rather will be subject to impairment review. SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and the Company had the option of adopting SFAS No. 142 either July 1, 2001 or July 1, 2002. Net income will increase when the amortization of goodwill to expense is stopped. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to its financial statements, financial position, results of operations and cash flows related to the implementation of SFAS No. 142, which will be adopted effective July 1, 2002, the beginning of fiscal 2003.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (SFAS No. 143), "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," and in August 2001 issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS No. 144), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 143 establishes standards of accounting for asset retirement obligations (i.e., legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees) and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 144 replaces existing accounting pronouncements related to impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Both SFAS No. 143 and No. 144 are effective beginning with the Company's fiscal 2003 year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these two statements, but does not expect any significant impact on its financial condition or results of operations when they are implemented.
The Company continues to seek opportunities to invest in new products and markets, and in acquisitions which fit its strategic growth plans in the lighting and graphics markets. The Company believes that adequate financing for any such investments or acquisitions will be available through future borrowings or through the issuance of common or preferred shares in payment for acquired businesses.
