NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement
Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121 ("FAS 121"), Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, resulting in a
non-cash charge of $235 million. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Overview."
Note 2. Tax Matters
As described in Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995,
there are pending German tax issues for the years 1984 through 1990. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Overview
Effective January 1, 1996 the Company adopted FAS 121 related to
impairment of long-lived assets. Applying the criteria established by FAS 121,
the Company concluded that certain assets and related goodwill of its Canadian,
French and Mexican operating units were impaired. As a result, the Company
recorded a non-cash charge of $235 million, over 90% of which was the write-down
of goodwill, for which there is no tax benefit. This charge included $121
million for Air Conditioning Products' operations in Canada and France, and $114
million for Plumbing Products' operations in Canada and Mexico. Excluding this
charge, operating income was $122 million in the first quarter of 1996, compared
with $126 million of operating income in the first quarter of 1995.

Results of Operations for the First Quarter of 1996 Compared with the First
Quarter of 1995
Consolidated sales for the first quarter of 1996 were $1,364 million,
an increase of $141 million, or 12% (with little effect from foreign exchange),
from $1,223 million in the first quarter of 1995. Sales increased 18% for Air
Conditioning Products and 8% for Plumbing Products, while sales for Automotive
Products were at essentially the same level as the 1995 quarter.
Operating income (excluding the asset impairment charge previously
mentioned) was $122 million for the first quarter of 1996 (with little effect
from foreign exchange), compared with $126 million in the first quarter of 1995.
Operating income increased 45% for Air Conditioning Products, remained at the
same high level as in the prior year quarter for Automotive Products, but
declined 54% for Plumbing Products.
Sales of Air Conditioning Products increased 18% to $758 million for
the first quarter of 1996 from $643 million for the comparable quarter of 1995,
as a result of strong gains in sales of applied and unitary commercial systems
in all markets, higher volumes of residential products in the U.S. and sales of
the new operations in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). Sales of
commercial products in the U.S. increased because of improved markets, demand
for chiller replacement (due to the ban on CFC refrigerant production), higher
prices and gains in market share. Residential sales were up due to increased
preseason distributor stocking and higher prices. International sales of Air
Conditioning Products for the first quarter of 1996 increased principally
because of sales in the new PRC operations and small volume increases in most
other businesses.
Operating income of Air Conditioning Products, excluding the asset
impairment charge, increased 45% to $61 million in the first quarter of 1996
from $42 million in the 1995 quarter, primarily reflecting expanded commercial
and residential product sales in the U. S. Despite significantly higher sales
(primarily in the PRC), operating income for international operations was
essentially unchanged. European operations suffered from weak economic
conditions and the new PRC operations were near break-even, while operating
results in other operations improved modestly from results in the first quarter
of 1995.
Sales of Plumbing Products increased 8% (with little effect from
foreign exchange) to $348 million in the first quarter of 1996 from $323 million
in the first quarter of 1995 primarily as a result of the sales of the French
manufacturer Porcher (the acquisition of which was completed in November 1995).
Excluding Porcher, sales decreased 6% overall, as international sales declined
10%, partly offset by a 4% sales increase for U.S. operations. The decrease in
international sales occurred in Europe, particularly in Germany, Italy and
France, which suffered from weaker economic conditions, and the Philippines,
which was affected by a five-week strike, offset partly by increased volume in
the Middle East. Sales in the U.S. increased as a result of higher volumes in
retail market channels, higher prices and a favorable product sales mix.
Operating income of Plumbing Products, excluding the asset impairment
charge, decreased 54% to $19 million for the first quarter of 1996 from $41
million for the 1995 period. For international operations, operating income
declined primarily because of the weaker European markets, particularly in
Germany and France, and to a lesser extent in Italy and the effects of the
Philippines strike. In addition, margins in France were lower than in the prior
year. In the U.S., operating income improved because of the higher sales,
benefits of lower-cost product sourcing and manufacturing cost improvements.
Sales of Automotive Products for the first quarter of 1996 were $258
million, essentially the same as the sales in the first quarter of 1995 (with
little effect from foreign exchange). Unit volume of truck and bus production in
western Europe remained high and aftermarket sales were stable overall, whereas
trailer, export and Brazilian markets declined.
Operating income of $42 million for Automotive Products for the 1996
quarter, despite no growth in sales, remained at the same high level as the $43
million earned in the first quarter of 1995. This reflected productivity
improvements offsetting higher manufacturing costs.
Financial Review
Interest expense decreased $5 million in the first quarter of 1996
compared to the year-earlier quarter primarily as a result of reduced debt
balances from application of the net proceeds from the initial public offering
of the Company's common stock in February 1995 together with lower overall
interest rates on debt outstanding under the Company's 1995 bank credit
agreement (the "1995 Credit Agreement"). Corporate costs were essentially the
same in the first quarter of both years.
The income tax provision for the first quarter of 1996 was $17 million,
or 36.3% of pretax income (excluding the asset impairment charge on which there
is no tax benefit) compared with a provision of $19 million, or 41.6% of pretax
income in the first quarter of 1995. Continued improvements in U.S. income in
1996 enabled the Company to recognize previously unrecognized tax benefits,
resulting in a lower effective tax rate.
As a result of the redemption of debt in the first quarter of 1995 upon
completion of a refinancing, the first quarter of 1995 included an extraordinary
charge of $30 million attributable to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance
costs, for which no tax benefit was available.
Cash Flows
Net cash used by operating activities, after cash interest paid of $15
million, was $2 million for the first quarter of 1996, compared with net cash
provided of $25 million for the similar period of 1995. The $27 million decrease
resulted primarily from timing differences on payments, especially for income
taxes. The Company made capital expenditures of $37 million for the first
quarter of 1996, including $2 million of investments in affiliated companies
compared with capital expenditures of $25 million in the first quarter of 1995,
including $5 million of investments in affiliated companies. The principal
financing activity during the first quarter of 1996 was a scheduled debt
repayment of $25 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $168
million under the Revolving Facilities. There was $323 million available under
the Revolving Facilities after reduction for borrowings and for $59 million of
letters of credit usage. In addition, at March 31, 1996, the Company's foreign
subsidiaries had $93 million available under overdraft facilities which can be
withdrawn by the banks at any time.
The 1995 Credit Agreement contains various covenants that limit certain
activities and transactions and require the Company to meet certain financial
tests. Certain other American Standard Inc. debt instruments also contain
financial tests and other covenants. The Company believes it is currently in
compliance with the covenants contained in the 1995 Credit Agreement and other
debt instruments.
As described in Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, there
are pending German Tax issues for the years 1984 through 1990. There has been no
change in the status of these issues since that report was filed.
