NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (1) The interim condensed consolidated 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 nine 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 condensed 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) Consolidated Inventories consist of: (in thousands) March 31, June 30, 1997 1996 Raw Materials $40,854 $50,110 Work-in-Process 11,120 14,743 Finished Goods 24,126 24,636 Total $76,100 $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 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 nine 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 nine month net income. - 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations OVERVIEW In the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1997, net sales increased 9% and 10%, respectively, while net income and Class B earnings per share rose 23% and 31%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year, excluding the effects of the Company's decision to exit the domestic wholesale piano product line in the prior year. Cash flow of $88,097,000 was generated by operating activities over the nine month period. Open orders as of March 31, 1997, were $185,683,000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 Net sales of $243,277,000 in the third quarter and $744,757,000 for the first nine months of the 1997 fiscal year were increases of 9% and 10%, respectively, over the same periods in the prior fiscal year. Net sales in the Company's largest two segments, Furniture and Cabinets and Electronic Contract Assemblies, increased in both the three and nine month periods when compared to one year ago. Net sales in the Company's smallest segment, Processed Wood Products and Other, also improved in the third quarter, while remaining flat for the nine month period, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. Operating income, excluding the above mentioned product line exit costs in the prior year, improved 17% to $20,537,000 in the third quarter and improved 31% to $59,886,000 in the nine month period, when compared to the same periods in the prior year, as increases in volume were assisted by manufacturing efficiency improvements. SEGMENT ANALYSIS Net Sales in Furniture and Cabinets, the Company's largest segment, increased 3% and 8%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods compared to one year ago, primarily on volume increases in office furniture and lodging furniture product lines. Office furniture sales growth was distributed across a wide spectrum of wood and metal product offerings in both the three and nine month periods. Increases in net sales in the office furniture lines were primarily obtained through higher volumes, with selective increases in selling prices also contributing to the increase. Operating income in the office furniture product lines also increased in both the three and nine month periods as higher volumes, lower material costs, and manufacturing efficiencies created additional marginal profit in the current fiscal year periods. The prior year three and nine month periods also included facility conversion and start-up costs. Material costs, as a percent of sales, continued to remain lower than in the prior fiscal year. Operating margins, as a percent of sales, continued to improve in metal office furniture product lines as volumes increased. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) product lines, primarily television cabinets and stands, audio cabinets, and residential furniture experienced lower net sales in the three and nine month periods when compared to the same periods one year ago. Some major customers, primarily in the television and audio industries, decreased orders due to higher inventory levels caused by lower than expected seasonal demand. The Company maintains production flexibility sufficient to support pursuit of new business and fluctuating customer order - 8 - requirements by utilizing available capacity to balance production schedules of other product lines within this segment. Operating income declined compared to the prior year's three and nine month periods primarily due to the lower sales volume and, to a lesser extent, the transition to different product lines at some of the OEM production facilities. Net sales of lodging furniture continued to increase in the three and nine month periods when compared to the same periods in the prior year, as the refurbishing initiative within the lodging industry and construction of new facilities continue to create demand for the Company's products. Volume growth in standard and high-end product lines is the primary contributor to the increased sales levels, with price increases being a minor factor. Operating income in both the three and nine month periods increased over the prior year as additional volumes generated incremental operating income improvements in both periods and increases in costs were partly reflected in pricing in the third quarter. 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 nine month period. Net sales in Electronic Contract Assemblies, the Company's second largest segment, increased 23% over the third quarter in the prior year and increased 17% in the first nine months when compared to the same periods a year ago, as volume increases were realized in electronic automotive products and computer related products. The acquisition of ELMO Semiconductor during the prior year's third quarter contributed 3% and 4%, respectively, of the three and nine month period improvements over the prior year. Operating income in the three and nine month periods improved due to increased volumes, favorable product mix, and more efficient use of physical resources. Prior year nine month results also included additional product start-up costs. The Company maintains flexibility within its production capacity to help minimize the impact of the rescheduling and material availability factors that can impact the electronic contract assemblies market and create short-term volume fluctuations in any given period. The electronic contract assemblies market is a very price competitive industry and the Company continuously strives to provide a high quality product at a competitive price in order to expand within this industry. Included in this segment are sales to three customers which combined accounted for 26.5% and 25.4% of consolidated sales, respectively, in the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1997. Prior year results in this segment included sales to three customers which combined accounted for 24.6% and 24.0%, respectively, in the three and nine month periods. One of these customers accounted for 16.8% of consolidated sales in the third quarter and 15.3% of consolidated sales in the nine month period. This same customer accounted for 14.7% and 14.0%, respectively, in the three and nine month periods of the prior fiscal year. Working capital is being managed at a level lower than the elevated level experienced at June 30, 1996. The Company's smallest segment, Processed Wood Products and Other, achieved a 7% increase in net sales in the third quarter over the same period in the prior year. Sales for the nine month period were flat in the year to year comparisons. Volume increases in processed wood products in both current - 9 - periods were offset to varying extents by a decline in sales of plastic components and also by a change in customer mix from serving outside customers to providing necessary services to the Company's internal operations. Net sales for this segment do not reflect increases in inter-company activity in the year over year comparisons. Operating income declined for both the three and nine month periods as higher raw material prices were not fully reflected in selling prices and the sales mix was unfavorable. 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 STATEMENT OF INCOME ANALYSIS Consolidated cost of sales, as a percent of sales, decreased 1.7 percentage points for the third quarter and 2.5 percentage points for the nine month period when compared to the same periods in the prior year due to the combined effects of lower material prices, favorable sales mix, and improvements in manufacturing efficiency. Labor and overhead costs, as a percent of sales, were down in both the three and nine 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 1.1 and 1.3 percentage points, respectively, in the three and nine month periods when compared to the prior year, as additions were made to the Company's existing infrastructure to support higher sales volumes and the acquisition of ELMO Semiconductor in the latter half of the prior fiscal year. The Company announced a strategic decision in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year to cease production and sales of its domestic wholesale piano product line, due to the continuing decline in the domestic piano market. A provision of $3.4 million was established during the third quarter of the prior year to cover all estimated costs associated with exiting this product line. The after-tax earnings per share effect of this charge amounted to $0.09 per Class B share in the prior year. Operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased to $20,537,000, or 17% over the third quarter of fiscal 1996, excluding the prior year product line exit costs, due primarily to increased sales volumes, favorable sales mix, improved manufacturing efficiencies and, to lesser extent, lower material costs. Operating income in the nine month period was $59,886,000, an increase of 31% when compared to the same period one year ago, excluding the product line exit costs in the prior year, on increased sales volumes, favorable product mix, lower material costs, and improvement in manufacturing efficiency. Including the product line exit costs, operating income increased 45% and 42%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods, when compared to the prior year. Investment income increased in the three and nine month periods, when compared to the previous year, as positive cash flow generated by operations increased the average investment balances. Other - net, in the current nine month period, 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 nine month period when compared to the prior year, is primarily due to larger gains realized on the sales of assets in the prior year. - 10 - The effective income tax rate decreased 3.7 percentage points in the third quarter when compared to the prior year due in part to a reduction in the effective state tax rate and reduced European operating losses which provided no immediate tax benefit. The effective income tax rate for the nine month period decreased 5.8 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 2.2 percentage points in the nine month period when compared to the prior year. The Company achieved net income of $14,521,000 or $0.70 per Class B share, in the third quarter of the 1997 fiscal year, a 23% increase over the prior year's third quarter net income of $11,839,000 or $0.57 per Class B share, excluding the effects of the product line exit costs in the prior year. Net income for the nine months ended March 31 totaled $42,663,000 or $2.06 per Class B share, a 31% increase when compared to $32,548,000 or $1.56 per Class B share in the prior year, excluding the effects of the product line exit costs in the prior year. Including the product line exit costs, net income increased 46% for the third quarter, and 39% for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments totaled $153 million at March 31, 1997 compared to $117 million one year earlier. The Company had a strong working capital level of $239 million and current ratio of 2.9 to 1 at March 31, 1997 as compared to $220 million and 2.8 to 1, respectively, at June 30, 1996. Operating activities generated $88 million of cash in the first nine months of the 1997 fiscal year with $30 million invested in production equipment upgrades and improvements in the Company's business information systems and another $21 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 $39 million in the nine month period ended March 31, 1997. 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. __________________ This discussion contains certain statements which could be considered forward-looking under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Of 1995.
