NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended April 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended January 28, 1995 due to the seasonal nature of the business. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 1994. 2. The retail last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory method is used to value merchandise inventories, with such LIFO merchandise inventories not being carried in excess of current cost. Under this method, at April 30, 1994, and May 1, 1993, the LIFO cost of merchandise inventories was approximately $14.5 million less than current cost. At January 29, 1994, the LIFO cost of merchandise inventories was approximately $13.2 million less than current cost. 3. Net sales include leased department sales of $8.9 million and $14.2 million for the quarters ending April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993, respectively. Leased department sales for the twelve months ending April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 were $61.2 million and $89.5 million respectively. 4. The effective income tax rate was 38% for the first quarter of 1994 and 37% for the first quarter of 1993. No allocation between current and deferred income taxes was made during the interim periods as such amounts would not be material to the consolidated balance sheets. The provision for income taxes is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate. Net income for the three months ended April 30, 1994 was $48.3 million as compared to $48.2 million for the three months ended May 1, 1993. For the twelve month period ended April 30, 1994, the increase was 1% over the prior period. ITEM 2 Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations Results of Operations The following table sets forth operating results expressed as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended Twelve Months Ended April 30 May 1 April 30 May 1 1994 1993 1994 1993 Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales 66.4 64.8 64.9 64.6 Gross Profit 33.6 35.2 35.1 35.4 Advertising, selling, administrative and general expenses 24.2 25.2 23.9 24.3 Depreciation and amortization 3.6 3.6 3.4 3.0 Rentals 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Interest and debt expense 2.4 2.8 2.4 2.6 Total operating expenses 31.2 32.7 30.9 31.2 Other income 3.7 4.1 3.5 3.6 Income before income taxes 6.1 6.6 7.7 7.8 Federal and state income taxes 2.3 2.4 3.1 2.9 Net income 3.8 4.2 4.6 4.9 Net income for the three months ended April 30, 1994 was $48.3 million as compared to $48.2 million for the three months ended May 1, 1993. For the twelve month period ended April 30, 1994, the increase was 1% over the prior period. Sales for the first quarter of 1994 were $1,283.9 million as compared to $1,163.2 million for the first quarter of 1993. This is an increase of 10%. The sales increase for comparable stores was 7%. The twelve month sales increase for 1994 over 1993 was 8%, for comparable stores the increase was 4%. Cost of sales increased from 64.8% of net sales for the first quarter of 1993 to 66.4% for the first quarter of 1994. This increase was caused by lower initial markups on merchandise purchases and by a higher level of markdowns taken to clear seasonal merchandise. For the twelve months ended April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993, the increase was from 64.6% to 64.9%. Advertising, selling, administrative and general expenses decreased from 25.2% of net sales for the first quarter of 1993 to 24.2% for the first quarter of 1994. For the twelve months ended April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 the percent to net sales decreased from 24.3% to 23.9%. The Company continues to control these expenses as sales grow. Depreciation and amortization expense remained constant as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of 1994 compared to the first quarter of 1993. For the twelve months ended April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 the depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of sales increased from 3.0% to 3.4%. This is due to a higher proportion of the Company's properties being owned rather than leased. Rental expense decreased from 1.1% of net sales for the first quarter of 1993 to 1.0% of net sales in the three months ended April 30, 1994. For the twelve months ended April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 rental expense as a percent of net sales decreased slightly from 1.3% of net sales to 1.2% of net sales. This is due to a higher proportion of the Company's properties being owned rather than leased. Interest and debt expense decreased from 2.8% of net sales for the first quarter of 1993 to 2.4% of net sales for the first quarter of 1994. For the twelve months ended April 30, 1994 interest and debt expense decreased slightly from 2.6% of net sales in 1993 to 2.4% of net sales in 1994. This is due to a lower level of debt this year compared to last year. Service charges, interest and other income decreased to 3.7% of net sales in the first quarter of 1994 from 4.1% of net sales in 1993. For the twelve months ended April 30, 1994 this decreased to 3.5% of net sales from 3.6% of net sales in 1993. This decline is caused by a decline in credit sales as a percentage of total sales. The effective federal and state income tax rate was 38% for the first quarter of 1994 and 37% for the first quarter of 1993. Financial Condition The Company's working capital was $1,684.1 million at April 30, 1994, $1,660.6 million at January 29, 1994, and $1,620.9 million at May 1, 1993. The current ratio for these periods was 2.9, 3.1 and 2.9, respectively. The ratio of long-term debt and capitalized lease obligations as a percentage of equity was 59.2%, 61.0% and 71.9% at April 30, 1994, January 29, 1994, and May 1, 1993, respectively. This ratio has decreased due to a lower level of long-term debt as well as growth in stockholders' equity. The Company invested $42.9 million in capital expenditures for the three months ended April 30, 1994 as compared to $66.7 million for the three months ended May 1, 1993. In 1994, the Company plans to build eight new stores, one replacement store and to remodel significantly four additional stores. In 1993, the Company opened ten new stores and remodeled significantly and expanded three stores. Merchandise inventories increased by 7% from $1,378.9 million at May 1, 1993 to $1,480.9 million at April 30, 1994. This increase is due to the opening of ten new stores in 1993 and two stores in the first quarter of 1994. On a comparable store basis, the rate of increase in merchandise inventories was lower than the rate of increase for comparable stores sales. Fluctuations in certain other balance sheet accounts between January 29, 1994 and April 30, 1994 reflect normal seasonal variations within the retail industry.
