AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (1) The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Management believes the financial statements include all adjustments consisting only of a normal, recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial statements of the interim period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. (2) Inventories consist of: (in thousands) September 30, June 30, 1996 1996 Raw Materials $43,118 $50,110 Work-in-Process 12,687 14,743 Finished Goods 27,678 24,636 Total $83,483 $89,489 For interim reporting, LIFO inventories are computed based on estimated year-end quantities and price levels. Changes in such estimates will be reflected in the interim financial statements in the period in which they occur. (3) Earnings per share are computed under the method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 for computing earnings per share for two class common stock due to the dividend preference of Class B Common Stock. (4) Results of operations for the three month period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. (5) On March 29, 1996, the Company acquired certain assets of ELMO Semi- conductor Corporation of California and all of the outstanding capital stock of ELMO Semiconducteurs SARL of France, providers of semiconductor DIE processing, testing, design and packaging. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with operating results included in the Company's consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition. The Company has one year in which it may adjust the initial purchase price allocation. The acquisition was not material and was financed with the Company's available cash on hand. - 6 - (6) The Company sold its piano key and action production facility located in the United Kingdom, Herrburger Brooks, PLC, during the first quarter of fiscal 1997. A $3.8 million pretax loss on the sale is included in Other-net, with an offsetting $3.8 million income tax benefit included in Taxes on Income. This tax benefit was the result of a higher U.S. tax basis in this subsidiary due to previously undeductable losses on the investment in this U.K. subsidiary. This transaction resulted in no impact to consolidated first quarter net income. - 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations OVERVIEW First quarter net sales were $247,700,000 for the 1997 fiscal year, an increase of 13% when compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. First quarter net income of $13,521,000 and Class B earnings per share of $0.65 increased 61% when compared to the year earlier period. Cash flow generated from operations totaled $37,780,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Open orders were $191,502,000 at September 30, 1996. A detailed discussion of the first quarter results follows, including certain forward-looking information. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995. Net sales for the first quarter of the 1997 fiscal year were $247,700,000, an increase of 13% when compared to the first quarter of the prior year, as sales continued to grow in the larger two of the Company's three business segments - Furniture and Cabinets, and Electronic Contract Assemblies. Net sales in the Company's smallest business segment - Processed Wood Products and Other, declined from the prior year's first quarter. Operating Income for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was $19,183,000 an increase of 79% over the prior year's first quarter, due primarily to sales volume increases and improvements in manufacturing efficiencies. Net sales in the Company's largest segment, Furniture and Cabinets, increased 14% above the prior year period led by increases in office furniture and hospitality furniture product lines. Office furniture product lines experienced sales growth across a broad product offering of wood and metal product lines. Volume increases on both new and mature product offerings were the primary driver of the increase in sales, and to a lesser extent, an increase in selling prices. Increased volumes of systems office furniture were supported by a production facility that was converted to this product line during the latter half of the prior fiscal year. The Company plans to introduce new office furniture products during this fiscal year, some of which will replace existing product offerings. Operating income in the office furniture product line increased for the three month period on volume increases, lower material costs as a percent of sales, and improved manufacturing efficiencies. The rate of material price increases from suppliers has decreased from the level experienced in last year's first quarter, and in some cases price reductions have been realized. Benefits continued to be realized from the Company's quality and cost containment initiatives. Operating margins continued to improve on metal office furniture product lines, despite additional expenses being incurred during this year's first quarter in preparation for a new product launch planned for the second quarter. - 8 - Sales of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) product lines, primarily television cabinets and stands, audio cabinets, and residential furniture, decreased in the three month period when compared to one year earlier. Lower sales volume of cabinets were due to a major cabinet customer experiencing lower market demand for their products. While certain other cabinet customers increased their volumes, this product line experienced an overall decline in sales volume. Production flexibility is inherent in the OEM supplier market and may cause short-term fluctuations in any given quarter. Volumes of contract residential furniture increased from the prior year. Some OEM production capacity was utilized for production of hospitality furniture during the quarter. OEM operating income declined from the prior year's level due to the decrease in sales volume and, to a lesser extent, an unfavorable sales mix towards lower margin products. Hospitality furniture sales increased in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 when compared to the prior year, due to greater volumes of standard and high-end products targeted to the hospitality market. The Company expanded its standard line of product offerings from the prior year's first quarter. Increased demand resulted from newly constructed facilities and refurbishing initiatives in the hospitality industry. Operating profits increased from the prior year period due primarily to additional volumes in the current year and higher product offering expansion costs in the prior year. The Company's European operations experienced improvements in sales volumes and operating margins in the first quarter when compared to the prior year. The Company sold its piano key and action production facility located in the United Kingdom, Herrburger Brooks, PLC, during the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This transaction resulted in no impact to consolidated first quarter net income. Net sales in the Company's second largest segment, Electronic Contract Assemblies, increased 17% in the first quarter when compared to the prior year, due primarily to higher volumes of electronic automotive and computer related products. The increased demand for electronic automotive products includes a surge for supplying the manufacturing pipeline for the new model year with a new generation of electronic components. While the outcome of the labor strike and negotiations at General Motors' operations is uncertain, an extended strike could have a negative impact on this segment's operations in future quarters. Rescheduling, production flexibility and material availability are inherent in the contract electronic assemblies market and may cause short-term fluctuations in any given quarter. New customers and products acquired through the Company's acquisition of ELMO Semiconductor during the prior year's third quarter, accounted for 5% of the sales increase. First quarter operating profits increased from the prior year due primarily to increased sales volumes in the current year and high product start-up costs incurred in the prior year's first quarter. Included in this segment is one customer which accounted for 14.6% of consolidated revenue in the current year's first quarter, compared to 13.2% in the prior year's first quarter. The segment has reduced its investment in working capital from the elevated level experienced at June 30, 1996. - 9 - Net sales in the Company's smallest segment, Processed Wood Products and Other, declined 7% from the prior year's first quarter, due in part to lower sales of processed wood veneer and plastic components sold to outside customers. The portion of the processed wood products industry that the Company operates in continues to experience a softened demand which began in the prior year. First quarter operating income declined in this segment when compared to the prior year, reflecting the lower sales volumes. This segment continued to supply a significant amount of production output for use as material components in the Furniture and Cabinets segment. Consolidated cost of sales as a percent of sales decreased 4.0 percentage points for the first quarter when compared to the prior year, primarily due to shifts within product line mix to products which carry a lower material content, lower or nonexistent material price increases, and improvements in manufacturing efficiency including benefits from quality and cost containment initiatives. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of sales increased 1.2 percentage points for the three month period, primarily due to moderate additions to the Company's existing infrastructure supporting the higher sales volume, additions as the result of acquiring ELMO Semiconductor in the latter half of the prior fiscal year, and certain other costs that are variable with earnings. Operating income for the first quarter of 1997 was $19,183,000 increasing 2.8 percentage points, as a percent of sales, when compared to the first quarter of 1996, primarily due to sales volume increases, the diminished effects of material price increases that were experienced in the prior year's first quarter, and manufacturing efficiency improvements, including benefits from quality and cost containment initiatives. Investment income for the first quarter remained flat when compared to the same period in the previous year, as higher investment balances were offset by a lower effective yield. Other - net includes $3.8 million related to a loss on the sale of a foreign subsidiary in the current year, which is offset by a $3.8 million income tax benefit recorded in Taxes on Income. The remaining decrease in Other - net is primarily due to larger gains realized on the sale of assets in the prior year. Taxes on Income includes a $3.8 million tax benefit relating to the sale of a foreign subsidiary in the current year's first quarter. This tax benefit was the result of a higher U.S. tax basis in this subsidiary due to previously undeductible losses on the investment in this U.K. subsidiary. Excluding this tax benefit, the effective income tax rate decreased 1.3 percentage point in the three month period when compared to the prior year due in part to reduced European operating losses which provide no immediate tax benefit. The Company achieved net income of $13,521,000, or $0.65 per Class B share for the first quarter of the 1997 fiscal year, a 61% increase over the prior year's first quarter net income of $8,418,000 or $0.40 per Class B share. - 10 - LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments totaled $140 million at September 30, 1996 as compared to $117 million one year earlier. Liquidity remained strong with working capital and the current ratio at $230 million and 2.7 to 1, respectively, at September 30, 1996 as compared to $204 million and 2.7 to 1, respectively, one year earlier. Operating activities continued to generate positive cash flow, which amounted to $38 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Portions of the Company's cash flow from operations were reinvested in the business to fund $9 million of capital investments for the future, primarily production equipment upgrades and improvements in the Company's business information systems. $5 million was used for financing activities, primarily to pay dividends. Net cash flow, excluding purchases and maturities of short-term investments, amounted to a positive $26 million for the three month period ended September 30, 1996. The Company anticipates maintaining a strong liquidity position throughout the 1997 fiscal year with cash needs being met by cash flows provided by operations, available cash balances and short-term investments on hand. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements, which contain risks and uncertainties as to the achievement of these expressed or implied results. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward looking statements as a result of various factors including, competitive pricing pressures, raw material price increases and component availability, market acceptance of the Company's proprietary products and our OEM customers' products, a labor strike at a major customer or supplier, a change in economic condition and other unforeseen factors. - 11 - PART II.
