======== ======== ======== ========
Note: Certain items have been rounded to cause the columns to add to 100%.
Net sales and other income for the three months ended September 30, 1995
decreased $1 million, or less than 1%, from the third quarter of 1994 due to
lower licensed apparel sales (down 6%) which were partially offset by growth
in activewear sales (up 3%). Increased T-shirt volume was primarily
responsible for the activewear increase. Licensed apparel sales declined due
to cautious retailer purchases of NBA licensed apparel until a labor agreement
was reached in September, offsetting improved baseball related sales during
the period.
The company's premier branded product lines continued their positive trend
during the third quarter as evidenced by 25% and 34% sales growth for the
Discus Athletic(registered trademark) and Logo Athletic(registered trademark)
brands, respectively. The company's consolidated backlog at September 30,
1995 was $196 million versus $163 million at October 1, 1994.
For the nine months ending September 30, 1995, net sales and other income
increased $16 million or 4% from the comparable period of 1994 due to a 20%
increase in activewear sales. This improvement in sales resulted primarily
from a 21% increase in volume.
Margins and operating results in 1995 also show improvement over the
comparable third quarter of last year. For the comparative three-month
periods, cost of products sold as a percentage of sales decreased by 1% to 75%
in 1995. This margin improvement resulted primarily from manufacturing
efficiencies realized from increased production schedules and higher average
selling prices. For the comparative nine-month periods costs as a percentage
of sales decreased slightly from 75% in 1994 to 74% in 1995. Raw material
costs were higher during the first nine months of 1995 as a result of
increased raw cotton and polyester prices. These higher raw material costs
will put pressure on future gross margins as products utilizing such raw
materials are sold. Management believes that the effect will be somewhat
minimized by a shift toward higher margin products.
Depreciation expense during the third quarter of 1995 was unchanged from the
comparable quarter of the prior year, and for the nine months depreciation
decreased $796,000, or 4%. This decrease was due to modest capital
expenditures during 1994.
As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses
(S, G&A) were 12% for the third quarter of 1995 compared to 13% for the
comparable period of 1994. The decrease was due to management's continuing
emphasis on expense reduction. During the nine-month period ending September
30, 1995, S, G&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 18% of sales
from 17% for the comparable period of the prior year. The primary reason for
this increase was the one-time charge associated with expensing $5 million in
deferred advertising costs during the first quarter of 1995 as required by the
Accounting Standards Executive Committee's Statement on Reporting Advertising
Costs. This statement first became effective for the company at the beginning
of the 1995 fiscal year.
Operating income (income before interest and income taxes) increased
significantly during the third quarter to $21 million compared to $17 million
for the comparable period of the prior year. This increase was due to the
improved performance of the company's activewear business.
Interest expense increased 24% when compared to the third quarter of 1994 and
22% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to the first nine
months of 1994. This increase was due to higher average rates partially
offset by lower average borrowing requirements. The nature of the company's
primary businesses requires extensive seasonal borrowings to support its
working capital needs. For the first nine months of 1995, working capital
borrowings averaged $133 million at average rates of 7.6% compared to $152
million and 4.9%, respectively, for the comparable period of the prior year.
The average borrowing reduction was due to the company's continuing emphasis
on increasing inventory turns.
The effective rate for combined federal and state income taxes was 38% for
the first nine months of 1995 and 1994.
Management believes that licensed apparel's performance during the fourth
quarter should improve over the final quarter of fiscal 1994, boosted in part
by sales of lecensed apparel related to the World Series. Prospects for the
activewear business for the remainder of 1995 are uncertain due to higher raw
material costs, competitive pricing pressures in some T-shirt markets and
unpredictable consumer demand for the holiday season.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
- ----------------------------------------------------
Net working capital at September 30, 1995 increased $198 million from year-end
1994 due primarily to lower current maturities of long-term debt and higher
inventories and accounts receivable.
Net accounts receivable increased $39 million from December 31, 1994 to
September 30, 1995 due to the seasonality of activewear shipments. Receivables
normally peak in September and October and begin to decline in December as
shipment volume decreases and cash is collected.
Inventories traditionally increase during the first half of the year to
support second-half shipments. Compared to the December 31, 1994, inventories
increased approximately $48 million or 37%. The current ratio at September 30,
1995 was 7.1 compared to 1.7 at December 31, 1994. The increase in the ratio
from the beginning of the year was mainly due to lower current maturities of
long term debt and higher inventories and accounts receivable.
On March 8, 1995, the company signed a three-year $225 million revolving
credit facility which replaced its existing facility due to expire on October
5, 1995. The credit facility has a three-year term which expires in April
1998. On March 16, 1995, the company sold $110 million of 10 5/8% senior notes
due March 15, 2005. The senior notes require no principal payments for ten
years with interest due semi-annually. These notes, which were priced at par,
were used to repay existing indebtedness of the company. In connection with
these transactions the company recognized a one-time, after tax charge of
$3,746,000 or 13 cents per share, representing unamortized debt issuance costs
and a prepayment premium. While this refinancing has resulted in higher
interest expense, the company believes that the longer maturity and increased
covenant flexibility provided under the terms of these agreements will allow
the company to continue its long-term investment in brand promotion and higher
margin products. Total long-term debt at September 30, 1995 included the
senior notes totaling $110 million and $166 million outstanding under the
revolver. At the end of the third quarter of 1995, the company was in
compliance with all debt covenants.
Stockholders' equity decreased $2 million during the first nine months of 1995
as a result of the net loss of $2 million and preferred dividends declared of
$2 million partially offset by the collection of notes receivable from
stockholders of $2 million. Debt as a percentage of total capitalization was
60% at September 30, 1995 compared to 64% at October 1, 1994. The company's
long-term goal is to reduce debt as a percentage of total capitalization to
40%.
For the first nine months of 1995 net cash used by operations was $51 million
versus $53 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $2 million.
Cash used for capital asset additions increased approximately $6 million in
1995 compared to the first nine months of 1994. Cash provided by financing
activities decreased $5 million from the first nine months of 1994 primarily
as a result of lower borrowings. The company expects that annual cash flows
from income and non-cash items, supplemented by the revolving credit facility,
will be adequate to support requirements for the remainder of 1995.
