NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1997
Note A -- Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
position and results of operations at and for the periods presented. Such
financial statements do not include all the information or footnotes
necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should be read in
conjunction with the company's audited consolidated financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the notes thereto. The results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results for the full year.
Note B -- Stock repurchase program
In February 1997, the company's Board of Directors renewed the stock
repurchase program initiated last year and has authorized management to
purchase, from time to time, up to $50 million of the company's common
stock. Purchases are being made in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions, as determined by management. The timing and
amount of the purchases depend, among other matters, on market conditions
and corporate requirements.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
---------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations.
---------------------
Sales
- -----
Consolidated sales for the first quarter of 1997 increased approximately
9 percent compared over the year-earlier period. This sales growth was
due to increased activity levels in North America and the Asia/Pacific
region and the acquisition of the FES Group, offset in part by a stronger
U.S. dollar. Excluding the FES Group, sales increased approximately 4
percent compared with the year-earlier period.
Operating income
- ----------------
The company recorded operating income of $104.1 million in the first
quarter of 1997, compared with $116.7 million in the first quarter of
1996. The decrease in operating income reflects the impact of lower
gross profit margins, offset in part by increased sales and continued
economies of scale. Gross profit margins decreased primarily as a result of
competitive pricing pressures in North America and Europe.
Interest expense
- ----------------
Interest expense of $13.9 million in the first quarter of 1997 increased
from $11.3 million during the comparable quarter of 1996 principally as a
result of the acquisition of the FES Group, offset in part by lower
borrowings as a result of improved working capital usage and lower
interest rates.
Income taxes
- ------------
During the first quarter of 1997, the company recorded a provision for
taxes at an effective tax rate of 41.1 percent, compared with 39.6 percent
in the earlier period. The increase in the effective rate from the year-
earlier period is due to increased earnings in countries with higher
marginal tax rates.
Net income
- ----------
The company recorded net income of $50.3 million in the first quarter of
1997, compared with $56.8 million in the first quarter of 1996. The
decrease in net income from the year-earlier period is principally due to
lower operating income and higher interest expense, offset in part by
decreases in income taxes and minority interest.
Liquidity and capital resources
- -------------------------------
The company maintains a high level of current assets, primarily accounts
receivable and inventories. Consolidated current assets as a percentage of
total assets were approximately 75 percent and 78 percent for the first
quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The net amount of cash used by the company's operating activities during
the first three months of 1997 was $51.7 million, the principle element of
which was the increase in accounts receivable resulting from the increase
in net sales over the fourth quarter of 1996. The net amount of cash used
for investing activities was $327 million, including approximately $300
million for the acquisition of the FES Group. The net amount of cash
provided by financing activities was $380.8 million, principally reflecting
the $393.3 million of proceeds from the issuance in January 1997 of
the company's senior notes and senior debentures, offset in part by purchases
of common stock and distributions to minority partners.
During the first three months of 1996, the net amount of cash provided by
the company's operating activities was $28.2 million. The net amount of
cash used for investing activities was $93.2 million, including $77.2
million for various acquisitions and investments, and the net amount of
cash provided by the company's financing activities was $40.8 million.
The company believes that its working capital, funds available under its
credit agreements, and additional funds generated from operations will be
sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements at least through 1998.
Accounting Matters
- ------------------
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per
Share", which establishes new methodologies for computing earnings per
share. The adoption by the company of SFAS 128 at year-end is not
expected to have a material impact on the earnings per share for any
previously reported periods.
