Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial
Condition and Consolidated Results of Operations
Sales and Volume:
- ----------------
Adolph Coors Company (ACC or the Company) reported net sales of $567.9
million and $1,294.0 million for the third quarter and first forty weeks of
1995, respectively, representing a 2.2% increase and .9% decrease,
respectively, from the comparable periods in the prior year. ACC had malt
beverage barrel sales of 6,905,000 for the third quarter of 1995, an
increase of 0.3% when compared to malt beverage sales of 6,884,000 barrels
for the third quarter of 1994. Increased net sales in the third quarter of
1995 were attributable to slightly higher volume and pricing, as well as
proportionately higher export sales, which offer higher net revenue than
domestic volume. Malt beverage sales for the first forty weeks of 1995
declined 1.4% to 15,731,000 barrels from 15,957,000 for the same period of
1994. The decrease in sales volume for the first forty weeks of 1995
resulted primarily from a decrease in sales of Zima Clearmalt. This was
offset in part by a slight net increase in sales of other premium beer
products, primarily Coors Light, whose domestic sales increased 3% in the
first three quarters of 1995 when compared to 1994.
Gross Profit:
- ------------
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the third quarter of 1995
increased to 36.7% from 35.4% for the same period a year earlier. The
improvement for the third quarter of 1995 was primarily due to the absence of
costs associated with a limited voluntary product withdrawal in 1994, 1995
incremental container joint venture income, market price increases and
productivity gains arising from restructuring efforts. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales for the first forty weeks of 1995 declined to 35.9%
from 36.9% for the first forty weeks of 1994. The decline in gross profit
for the first forty weeks of 1995 resulted primarily from increased aluminum
and other packaging costs and lower sales volumes of Zima Clearmalt, which
has a higher gross profit percentage than other brands. Although ACC's cost
of aluminum will remain at its current level for the remainder of 1995, based
on a recent downward trend in the aluminum market, aluminum costs should
improve in 1996.
Operating Income:
- ----------------
Operating income for the third quarter of 1995, increased 23.3% to $40.3
million compared to $32.7 million for the third quarter of 1994. Operating
income for the first forty weeks of 1995 declined 23.8% to $69.6 million from
$91.4 million in 1994. Higher operating income in the third quarter of 1995
and lower operating income for the first forty weeks of 1995 relative to
comparable periods in 1994 were primarily a result of related fluctuations
in gross profit (see explanation of gross profit above). Marketing, general
and administrative expenses increased 2.3% and .7% for the third quarter and
first forty weeks of 1995, respectively. The increases for both time periods
were caused by the Company's efforts to strengthen the sales organization and
to enhance the Company's performance initiatives.
Research and development costs increased 10.4% and 16.6% for the third
quarter and first forty weeks of 1995, respectively. These costs were higher
as a result of an increase in the new products and packages being considered
by the Company.
Non-Operating Expense:
- ---------------------
Other expense - net was $2.3 million for the third quarter of 1995, compared
to $1.3 million for the same period a year earlier. Interest expense was
higher in the third quarter of 1995 compared to a year ago because of
increased long-term debt following a private placement of debt early in the
third quarter of 1995. Other expense - net was $5.3 million for the first
forty weeks of 1995 compared to $3.7 million for the same period a year
earlier. This increase was primarily due to a 1994 pre-tax gain of
approximately $2.1 million from the sale of a company-owned distributorship.
Effective Tax Rate:
- ------------------
The consolidated effective tax rate for the third quarter and first forty
weeks of 1995 decreased to 40.5% and 41.1%, compared to 44.8% and 45.1%,
respectively, for the same periods of 1994. This decline from 1994 relates
largely to the tax accounting for foreign operations and non-recurring, non-
taxable income.
Net Income:
- ----------
Consolidated net income for the third quarter and first forty weeks of 1995
was $22.6 million, or $0.59 per share, and $37.9 million, or $0.99 per share,
respectively. This compares to $17.3 million, or $0.45 per share, and $48.2
million, or $1.26 per share, for the same periods a year earlier.
Working Capital Changes:
- -----------------------
Consolidated working capital at October 1, 1995, increased $78.6 million from
year end 1994 primarily due to a $62.9 million decrease in accounts payable.
Also contributing to the working capital increase was an increase in
accounts receivable and decreases in the current portion of long-term debt,
federal excise taxes payable and federal income taxes payable. Offsetting
these items was a $14.5 million decline of cash and cash equivalents. The
decline in accounts payable was caused by the payment of amounts owed to
suppliers, including the container joint venture and advertising agencies.
The increase in accounts receivable was caused by seasonality and increased
direct shipments to distributors. Direct shipments carry longer credit terms
than shipments through satellite redistribution centers.
Cash Flows From Operating Activities:
- ------------------------------------
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first forty weeks of 1995
was $29.8 million, down $99.0 million from $128.8 million for the same period
a year ago. Accounts payable decreased by $62.9 million in 1995, compared to
a $13.3 million decrease in 1994. Higher accounts payable at year end 1994
were due primarily to higher amounts owed to suppliers. Accumulated deferred
income taxes decreased by $4.9 million in 1995, compared to an increase of
$12.0 million in 1994. The increase in deferred income taxes in 1994
resulted from temporary differences created by the early payment of the 1994
pension contribution and by the 1994 payment of various 1993 accrued
expenses. These accrued expenses were not deductible for income tax purposes
in 1993. Other changes affecting cash flows from operations resulted from a
decrease in net income to $37.9 million in 1995 from $48.2 million in 1994,
as well as increases in non-current assets related to investments in the
container joint venture.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities:
- ------------------------------------
Cash flows used in investing activities for the first forty weeks of 1995
decreased to $78.4 million in 1995 from $123.3 million in 1994. Higher
property and intangible asset additions in 1994 were the result of purchases
of a brewery in Spain and a distributorship in California. Proceeds from
sale of properties of $23.8 million reflects the third quarter sale of the
Company's power plant equipment and support facilities to Trigen/Nations for
$22.0 million.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities:
- ------------------------------------
Cash flows provided by financing activities increased to $33.9 million in
1995 from a net cash usage of $62.3 million in 1994. This increase resulted
from ACC's $100 million private placement of senior notes in the third
quarter of 1995. The Company made two principal payments totalling $44.0
million on its unsecured medium-term notes during the third quarter of 1995.
This compares to a payment of $50.0 million in the third quarter of 1994.
In the third quarter of 1995, the Company used $9.5 million when it exercised
a first right of refusal to buy approximately 550,000 Class B common shares
owned by the estate of a member of the extended Coors family. This reduced
the number of Class B shares outstanding from approximately 37.2 million to
approximately 36.6 million.
Significant Events:
- ------------------
On June 30, 1995, the Company's subsidiary, Coors Brewing Company (CBC), and
Anchor Glass Container Corporation formally established a long-term
partnership, the Rocky Mountain Bottle Company, to produce glass bottles at
the CBC glass manufacturing facility. The partnership is intended to lower
unit costs, increase output and increase income to CBC.
Formation of the bottle partnership required CBC to contribute approximately
$16.2 million of machinery, equipment and certain personal property. Since
CBC contributed no cash, the transaction was not reflected in the Statement
of Cash Flows. The overall effect of the transaction reduced net properties
and increased other long-term assets by $16.2 million.
On September 14, 1995, CBC concluded the sale of its power plant equipment
and support facilities to Trigen/Nations for $22.0 million. The agreement
provides for a significant investment by Trigen/Nations to upgrade the
facilities. In return, CBC has agreed to purchase the electricity and steam
needed to operate the brewery's Golden facilities.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 25, 1994. The accompanying financial statements have not been
examined by the Company's independent accountants in accordance with general
accepted auditing standards, but in the opinion of management of Adolph Coors
Company, such financial statements include all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations.
The results of operations for the forty weeks ended October 1, 1995, may not
be indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December
31, 1995.
