====== ====== ======== ======
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $520.1 million,
compared to $470.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 1998, an
increase of $50.0 million or 10.6%. For the six months ended June 30, 1999,
net sales increased $78.6 million or 8.0% to $1,054.0 million from $975.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The improved sales
performance occurred at each operating company and ranged, in varying degrees,
across all product lines.
Earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 1999
increased by $8.9 million or 20.3% from the comparable prior year
period. Earnings from operations for the three months ended June
30, 1999 and June 30, 1998 were 10.1% and 9.3% of net sales,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, earnings
from operations increased by $17.2 million, or 19.3% from the
comparable six months of 1998. As a percentage of net sales,
earnings from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and June 30, 1998 were 10.0% and 9.1%, respectively. The
increase in operating earnings was due to higher sales volume and
good control of selling, general and administrative expenses.
Interest expense totaled $9.5 million and $19.4 million for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively,
compared to $11.2 million and $22.5 million for the prior year
comparable periods. The decrease in interest expense during the
periods resulted from lower long-term debt levels and reduced
interest rates, both resulting from the company's aggressive
deleveraging program.
The effective income tax rates were 36.9% and 36.5% for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, respectively, and
36.9% and 36.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and June
30, 1998, respectively. The effective tax rates for each period
were adversely impacted by certain nondeductible expenses
incurred and provisions for state and local income taxes.
Net earnings per common share for basic and diluted were $0.54
and $0.52 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, respectively,
compared with $0.40 and $0.39 for the same period last year,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1999 and June
30, 1998, net earnings per common share for basic and diluted
were $1.07 and $1.04, respectively, and $0.82 and $0.79,
respectively. Average common and common equivalent shares
outstanding used in the calculation of net earnings per common
share on a basic and diluted basis were 51,444,000 and
52,928,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30,
1999, and 52,183,000 and 53,980,000, respectively, for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. For the six months ended June 30,
1999 and June 30, 1998, average common and common equivalent
shares outstanding used in the calculation of net earnings per
common share on a basic and diluted basis were 51,502,000 and
53,027,000, respectively, and 52,151,000 and 53,923,000,
respectively.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Working Capital
---------------
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1999 amounted to $6.5
million, compared with $13.2 million at December 31, 1998.
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, net cash provided by
operating activities totaled $68.4 million, net cash used by
investing activities totaled $25.9 million and net cash used by
financing activities totaled $49.2 million.
Working capital was $519.1 at June 30, 1999, compared with $509.1
million at December 31, 1998. The current ratio was 4.0 to 1 at
June 30, 1999, compared to 4.1 to 1 at December 31, 1998.
Financing Arrangements
----------------------
As of June 30, 1999, long-term debt consisted of the following,
in millions:
Secured credit agreement:
Revolving credit facility $333.0
Term loan facility 200.0
Other 17.6
------
$550.6
======
To meet short-term capital and other financial requirements, the
Company maintains a $600.0 million revolving credit facility as
part of its Secured Credit Agreement with a group of financial
institutions. The revolving credit facility allows for both
issuance of letters of credit and cash borrowings. Letter of
credit outstandings are limited to no more than $60.0 0million.
Cash borrowings are limited only by the facility's maximum
availability less letters of credit outstanding. At June 30,
1999, there were $333.0 million of cash borrowings outstanding
under the revolving credit facility and $40.5 million in letters
of credit outstanding, leaving an excess of $226.5 million
available under the revolving credit facility.
The Company believes its Secured Credit Agreement, together with
cash generated from operations, will be adequate to meet
liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.
Year 2000
---------
The Company has completed a comprehensive review of all software,
hardware and equipment that could potentially be affected by the
year 2000 issue and adopted a year 2000 plan to meet the needs of
its customers and business partners. The results of the review
indicate that the Company will be year 2000 compliant well before
the year 2000. At this time remediations have been implemented
and testing of the remediations is in process. The total cost
for year 2000 compliance activity will not be material to the
Company's results of operations and financial position. The
Company is continuing the process of verifying compliance of
critical suppliers with year 2000 standards. There can be no
assurance that another company's failure to ensure year 2000
compliance will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company, however this is a circumstance not currently expected to
occur. The Company will develop and implement contingency plans,
if necessary, in the event it appears that it or its key
suppliers will not be year 2000 compliant and such noncompliance
is expected to have a material adverse impact on the operations
of the Company.
Forward Looking Statements
--------------------------
From time to time, the Company may make statements which
constitute or contain "forward-looking" information as that term
is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 or by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its rules,
regulations and releases. The Company cautions investors that
any such forward-looking statements made by the Company are not
guarantees of future performance and that actual results may
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
The impact of the year 2000 on the Company's order, production,
distribution and financial systems and the systems of its
suppliers and customers is a factor which could cause actual
results to differ materially from estimates contained in the
Company's forward looking statements.
