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 of a normal, recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial statements of the interim period. Results of operations for the six month period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. 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) December 31, June 30, 1996 1996 Raw Materials $40,834 $50,110 Work-in-Process 11,114 14,743 Finished Goods 24,932 24,636 Total $76,880 $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. - 6 - (4) 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. (5) The Company sold its piano key and action production facility located in the United Kingdom, Herrburger Brooks, PLC, during the first quarter of fiscal year 1997. Included in the six month consolidated statement of income is a $3.8 million pretax loss on the sale reported in Other-net, with an offsetting $3.8 million income tax benefit reported in Taxes on Income. This tax benefit was the result of a higher U.S. tax basis in this subsidiary due to previously nondeductible losses on the investment in this U.K. subsidiary. This transaction resulted in no impact to fiscal year 1997 consolidated six month net income. - 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations OVERVIEW Net sales in the second quarter of the 1997 fiscal year increased 8% over the same quarter of the prior fiscal year to reach a new quarterly record of $253,780,000. Sales for the first six months of the current fiscal year exceeded the prior year total by 11%. Net Income of $14,621,000 and Class B earnings per share of $.71 in the second quarter increased 19% over the same period in the prior year and set all time quarterly highs for the Company. Net income and Class B earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 1996 were 36% ahead of the prior year amount for the same period. Cash flow generated from operations totaled $65,360,000 for the six month period. Open orders as of December 31, 1996 were $184,205,000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 Net sales for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1996, were $253,780,000 and $501,480,000, respectively, an increase of 8% and 11%, respectively, above the same periods one year earlier. Sales increased in the second quarter and six month period in both the Furniture and Cabinets and Electronic Contract Assemblies segments of the company, which are the larger two of the Company's three business segments. Net Sales in the Processed Wood Products and Other segment were flat when compared to the prior year's second quarter, while declining for the six month period when compared to the prior year. Operating Income for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 was $20,166,000, and for the six month period was $39,349,000, an increase of 16% and 40%, respectively, over the prior year's results due primarily to increased sales volumes and manufacturing efficiency improvements. Net Sales in the Company's largest segment, Furniture and Cabinets, increased 7% for the three month period and 10% for the six month period, when compared to the prior year, led by increased sales in the office furniture and lodging furniture product lines. Office furniture experienced sales growth across a broad product offering of wood and metal product lines in both the three and six month periods. Increases in net sales of office furniture lines are attributed to volume increases on both new and mature products and, to a lesser extent, an increase in selling prices. Operating income in the office furniture product line increased for both the three and six month periods due primarily to volume increases, lower material costs, and improved manufacturing efficiencies. The prior year's three and six month periods also included certain facility preparation costs to add capacity for the production of office furniture systems. The rate of decline in material costs as a percent of sales slowed in the second quarter of this fiscal year as prices for some raw components increased during the quarter. Operating margins, as a percent of sales, continued to improve in metal office furniture product lines as increased volumes improved manufacturing efficiency, despite incremental expenses incurred to launch a new product line late in the second quarter. - 8 - Net sales of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) product lines, primarily television cabinets and stands, audio cabinets, and residential furniture decreased in the three and six month periods when compared to the same period one year earlier, as some customers experienced lower market demand for their products. Production flexibility is inherent in the OEM supplier market as customers shift schedules creating short-term fluctuations between any given periods. Some of the capacity created by lower cabinet demand and exiting the piano market in the prior fiscal year was utilized by producing other product lines within this segment. Operating income for OEM products declined primarily due to the reduction in sales volume and, to a lesser extent, a shift in product mix towards lower margin products. Lodging furniture sales increased in the second quarter and six month period when compared to the same periods a year ago, as greater volumes were achieved in the sales of standard and high-end products for lodging facilities. Demand is being created through continuation of the refurbishing initiative in the lodging industry, as well as construction of new facilities. Expansion of the standard line of product offerings in the first quarter of this fiscal year contributed to the increased volume. Operating profits for the three month period are lower than the prior year's level, primarily due to increases in variable material costs, as a percent of sales, that were not immediately reflected in customer pricing. Operating profits on a year-to-date basis increased at a slower rate than sales as increases in variable material costs, as a percent of sales, were not completely passed on to customers. Price increases on some standard product lines occurred late in the second quarter. The Company's European facilities experienced a decline in sales volumes and operating margins in the second quarter, while sales and operating margins improved for the six month period, when compared to the prior year. Fluctuations in sales volumes and operating margins at the European facilities do not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results. 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, with the transaction resulting in no impact to consolidated net income in the six month period. The Company's second largest segment, Electronic Contract Assemblies, reported a 12% increase in net sales in the second quarter and a 15% improvement in the first six months when compared to the same periods a year ago, as volume increases were experienced in computer related products and electronic automotive products. The growth in computer related products was primarily at the Company's Mexican facility which produces various internal and peripheral computer products to customer specifications. New products acquired through the acquisition of ELMO Semiconductor during the prior year's third quarter contributed to 4% of the three month and six month improvements. The labor strike at General Motors' Canadian operations ended during the second quarter with no material impact on operations in the three or six months ended December 31. Rescheduling, production flexibility, and material availability are inherent factors in the contract electronics assemblies market and may cause short-term fluctuations in any given period. Operating profits in the three and six month periods improved primarily due to increased volumes, favorable product - 9 - mix, and operating efficiencies achieved through meeting higher volume levels with existing facilities. Sustaining operating margin improvements at meaningful levels is a significant challenge in the price sensitive industry in which this segment competes. Prior year results included some additional product start-up costs that were not a significant factor in the current year. Included in this segment are sales to three customers which accounted for 25.3% and 24.9% of consolidated sales, respectively, in the three and six month periods ended December 31. Prior year results in this segment included sales to three customers which accounted for 25.7% and 23.8%, respectively, in the three and six month periods. One of these customers accounted for 14.5% of consolidated sales in the second quarter and 14.6% of consolidated sales in the six months period. This same customer accounted for 14.0% and 13.6%, respectively, in the three and six month periods of the prior fiscal year. This segment has reduced its investment in working capital from the elevated level experienced at June 30, 1996. Net Sales in Processed Wood Products and Other, the Company's smallest segment, were flat in the second quarter when compared to the prior year. Volume increases in processed wood products were offset by a decline in sales of plastic components and also by a change in sales mix from serving outside customers to providing necessary services to the company's internal operations. For the six month period sales declined 4% as decreases in sales of plastic components and the change in sales mix were only partially offset by the increased volume in processed wood products. The general processed wood products market the company operates in continues to experience lower demand than in the prior year. Operating income declined for both the three and six month periods when compared to the prior year, reflecting the declines in volume and an unfavorable sales mix. This segment supplies a significant amount of production output for use as material components in the Furniture and Cabinets segment and is a vital link in the Company's vertical integration. Consolidated cost of sales decreased 2.0 percentage points for the second quarter and 3.0 percentage points for the six month period when compared to the prior year as lower material prices were coupled with favorable sales mix, improvements in manufacturing efficiency and benefits received from quality and cost containment initiatives. Labor and overhead costs, as a percent of sales, were down in both the three and six month periods, primarily due to improved manufacturing methods and a continued focus on cost reductions in the manufacturing processes. Consolidated selling, administrative and general expense as a percent of sales increased 1.5 and 1.3 percentage points, respectively, in the three and six month periods when compared to the prior year, as moderate additions were made to the Company's existing infrastructure to support higher sales volumes and a higher expense structure is associated with the acquisition of ELMO Semiconductor in the latter half of the prior fiscal year. Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 was $20,166,000, an increase of 16% when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1996, due primarily to increased sales volumes and, to lesser extent, lower material costs and manufacturing efficiency improvements. Operating income for the six month period was $39,349,000, an increase of 40% when compared to the same period one year ago, due to increased sales volumes, favorable sales mix, and a reduced cost structure, as a percent of sales. - 10 - Investment income increased in the three and six month periods, when compared to the previous year, as positive cash flow generated by operations increased the average investment balances. Other - net includes the impact of the $3.8 million loss on the sale of a foreign subsidiary in the first quarter, which was offset by a $3.8 million income tax benefit recorded in Taxes on Income. The remaining decrease in Other - net in the six month period when compared to the prior year is primarily due to larger gains realized on the sales of assets in the prior year. The effective income tax rate decreased 1.5 percentage points in the second quarter when compared to the prior year due in part to a reduction in the effective state tax rate. The effective income tax rate for the six month period decreased 6.9 percentage points primarily as a result of the $3.8 million tax benefit received in the first quarter of this fiscal year relating to the sale of a foreign subsidiary. This tax benefit was the result of a higher U.S. tax basis in this subsidiary due to previously nondeductible losses on the investment in this U.K. subsidiary. Excluding this benefit, the effective income tax rate decreased 1.3 percentage points in the six month period when compared to the prior year due partially to reduced European operating losses which provide no immediate tax benefit and a reduction in the effective state tax rate. The Company achieved record net income of $14,621,000 or $0.71 per Class B share, in the second quarter of the 1997 fiscal year, a 19% increase over the prior year's second quarter income of $12,291,000 or $0.59 per Class B share. Net income for the six months ended December 31 totaled $28,142,000 or $1.36 per Class B share, a 36% increase when compared to $20,709,000 or $0.99 per Class B share in the prior year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments totaled $149 million at December 31, 1996 compared to $122 million one year earlier. The Company had a strong working capital level of $233 million and current ratio of 2.9 to 1 at December 31, 1996 as compared to $211 million and 3.0 to 1, respectively, one year earlier. Operating activities generated $65 million of cash in the first six months of the 1997 fiscal year with $19 million invested in production equipment upgrades and improvements in the Company's business information systems and another $14 million used for financing activities, primarily dividends paid to stockholders. Net cash flow, excluding purchases and maturities of short-term investments, amounted to a positive $35 million in the six month period ended December 31, 1996. The Company anticipates maintaining a strong liquidity position throughout the remainder of the 1997 fiscal year with cash needs being met by cash flows provided by operations, available cash balances and short-term investments on hand. - 11 - PART II.
