Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
As of February 24, 1996, Seaway Food Town, Inc. operated 67 retail stores,
44 supermarkets, 25 of which are large combination stores operating as
Food Town Plus stores and 23 deep discount drugstores operating as the Pharm.
This compares to 44 supermarkets, 20 of which were Food Town Plus stores and
22 Pharm deep discount drugstores as of February 25, 1995.
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 were $152,826 or 6.2% higher
than the same quarter of 1995. On a year to date basis, net sales were
$297,038 or 5.7% higher than 1995. Most of this net increase was attributable
to increased drugstore and supermarket sales resulting from one more
drugstore in operation at the end of the quarter as compared to the same
quarter of the prior year along with increased promotional activity in both
the supermarkets and drugstores. Sales from stores in operation both this
past quarter as well as the same quarter a year ago increased 4.99% in the
current year.
Gross margins, as a percent of sales, increased .10% in the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 compared to the same quarter of 1995. Margins declined slightly
in the supermarkets and increased slightly in the Pharms for the second
quarter of 1996 compared to 1995. On a year to date basis, these margins
remained constant between 1996 and 1995. Warehousing and transportation
costs, which are included in cost of sales, remained constant from quarter
to quarter and on a year to date basis.
As a percent of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased
.24% in the second quarter, and .31% on a year to date basis as compared to
1995. This increase is a result of increased wages, supply costs, utilities,
advertising and costs associated with enhancing management information
systems.
Interest expense remained consistent with the prior year as slightly lower
interest rates were offset by higher outstanding borrowings for the second
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the same quarter of 1995. On a year to
date basis, slightly higher interest rates were offset by slightly lower
borrowings.
Other income - net decreased $125,000 over the same quarter in 1995. This
decrease is due primarily to decreased gains on the sale of company assets
during this quarter compared to 1995. On a year to date basis, other
income - net decreased by $642,000, primarily due to a gain of $632,000
recognized on the sale of the Company's dairy operation in the first
quarter of Fiscal 1995.
Income taxes as a percent of pre-tax income approximates the statutory tax
rates in effect.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 1996, the Company's working
capital increased $1,927,000 as compared to August 26, 1995. The working
capital ratio was 1.13 to 1 at the end of this quarter compared to 1.11 to
1 at August 26, 1995 and 1.12 to 1 at November 25, 1995. During the first
twenty-six weeks of fiscal 1996, the Company generated $6,845,000 in cash
from operations which, supplemented with increased borrowings, was used
primarily to finance capital expenditures, make dividend payments, and
repurchase some of the Company's common shares.
The long-term debt to shareholders equity ratio was 1.17 to 1 at February 24,
1996 compared to 1.25 to 1 at February 25, 1995.
Measures of liquidity at February 24, 1996 and February 25, 1995 were as
follows:
1996 1995
------- --------
Working Capital (1) 26.2 million 25.2 million
Current Ratio (1) 1.44 to 1 1.44 to 1
Unused Lines of Credit 13.6 million l7.0 million
(1) Includes add-back of gross lifo reserve
The funds required by the Company on a continuing basis for both working
capital, capital expenditures, and other needs are generated principally
through operations, long-term borrowings and capital leases, supplemented
by borrowings under revolving credit note agreements which have been
arranged primarily through institutional lenders. The Company is not
aware of any trends, demands, commitments or uncertainties which will
result or which are reasonably likely to result in a material change in
the Company's liquidity. During the second quarter of 1996 the Company
borrowed against revolving credit agreements with the maximum amount
outstanding under such agreements amounting to $28,050,000.
