The net effect of these transactions was an addition to operating income of $16.2 million ($10.4 million after tax or 28 cents per share). FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Amounts in thousands) The following is an analysis of changes in key items included in the consolidated statements of income for the 13-week period ended July 27, 1997 compared to the 13-week period ended July 28, 1996. The amounts shown below apply only to continuing operations. Thirteen Weeks Ended July 27, 1997 Increase % (Decrease) Change Sales $(22,791) (3.0)% Cost of products sold (10,556) (1.7) --------- ---- Gross profit (12,235) (8.4) Selling expenses 3,891 9.0 General and administrative expenses (20,522) (35.3) -------- ---- Operating expenses (16,631) (16.4) Operating income 4,396 9.8 Other income (expense) (2,654) (67.6) Income before taxes 1,742 3.6 Provision for income taxes 132 .7 Net income $1,610 5.5% ====== ==== Current Quarter Compared to Same Quarter Last Year Income from continuing operations in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was $30,942,000 or 84 cents per share, and included $10,400,000 or 28 cents per share from a non-recurring insurance transaction. This compares to $29,332,000 or 64 cents per share a year ago. Per share earnings from continuing operations were up 31 percent in fiscal 1998 due to fewer outstanding shares stemming from large share repurchases last year. 	 Last year's first quarter included income from discontinued operations of $34.8 million or 76 cents per share which, when added to income from continuing operations, resulted in total earnings of $64.1 million or $1.40 per share in the year ago period. The income from discontinued operations reflected an after-tax gain of $33.9 million or 74 cents per share on the sale of Fleetwood Credit Corp., the Company's RV finance subsidiary, and two cents per share for the final month of finance company operations. Consolidated operating income was ten percent ahead of last year's first quarter due to a change in estimate of insurance reserves discussed below (see Change in Estimate of Insurance Reserves). Operating income from manufacturing operations was 26 percent behind the prior year reflecting lower gross margins and higher operating costs in the manufactured housing segment. In the past year, the Company has added five new housing factories which has increased fixed operating costs, and this has been accompanied by lower operating rates and reduced housing revenues. In addition, the Company incurred a loss of approximately $2.2 million before taxes due to flood damage at its Mississippi manufactured housing operation, and was also saddled with plant startup and plant shutdown costs totaling about $3.0 million. Recreational vehicle profits were also off from last year's strong first quarter because of slower motor home sales and non-recurring costs related to a realignment of motor home plant production. Slower sales of both manufactured housing and recreational vehicles led to a three percent decline in consolidated revenues from $751.2 million to $728.5 million. Manufactured housing revenues slipped three percent to $366.6 million on a six percent decline in unit sales to 16,359 homes. A higher mix of multi-section homes, which rose from 47 percent to 55 percent, resulted in a moderate one percent decline in floor shipments. Housing group sales represented 50 percent of total Company revenues, which was virtually identical to last year's percentage. Recreational vehicle revenues in the first quarter totaled $350.7 million compared to $357.9 million in last year's strong first period. A seven percent decline in motor home sales was partially offset by higher sales of towable RV products. Motor home revenues eased to $207.5 million on a 21 percent decline in shipments to 3,317 units. In the towable category, travel trailer sales rose two percent to $119.3 million on a three percent decline in unit sales to 8,554, while folding trailer revenues jumped 40 percent to $23.9 million on a 34 percent unit volume increase to 4,720 units. As in the prior year, recreational vehicle sales accounted for 48 percent of total Company revenues. The Company's supply group recorded sales of $11.1 million in the July quarter compared to $16.2 million in last year's similar period. Manufacturing gross profit declined as a percentage of sales from 19.4 percent to 18.3 percent primarily due to lower manufactured housing margins stemming from more competitive pricing. Recreational vehicle margins were also off from last year's strong first quarter, largely as a result of less efficient motor home operations and slimmer travel trailer margins caused by West Coast pricing adjustments. Operating expenses of $84.6 million, which included the effect of the change in estimate of insurance reserves, were down 16 percent from last year's similar period, while declining as a percentage of sales from 13.5 percent to 11.6 percent. Selling expenses were up nine percent to $47.0 million, primarily reflecting higher housing marketing expenses as well as increased product warranty and service costs. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses rose from 5.7 percent to 6.5 percent. General and administrative expenses declined 35 percent to $37.6 million, and decreased as a percentage of sales from 7.7 percent to 5.2 percent. This reduction was primarily related to the aforementioned change in estimate of insurance reserves, but also included lower management incentive compensation resulting from the decline in profits. Also included in general and administrative costs was the $2.2 million flood loss mentioned previously. Non-operating income of $1.3 million was off 68 percent from the prior year due to a decline in investment income. Income from investments of $2.3 million was 57 percent below last year's first quarter, largely due to significantly higher cash balances that were available for investment last year, most of which arose from the sale of Fleetwood Credit Corp. The effective income tax rate declined to 38.5 percent in the first quarter from 39.6 percent a year ago, primarily as a result of lower state income tax accruals. The lower tax rate added about 1.5 cents per share to earnings. Change in Estimate of Insurance Reserves The Company self insures its primary layer of products liability risk. Products liability reserves are based upon claims projections from an independent actuarial study. There can be significant variability in claims experience from year to year, and there is typically a long loss development period for products cases. Accordingly, actuarial projections are updated annually to reflect current loss development trends, which results in frequent adjustments to reserves for prior years' cases. Because of the variability and long loss development of products liability claims, the Company actuary has consistently followed conservative reserving practices. In July 1997, after several years of favorable claims experience, the Company was able to lower its self-insured retention (i.e., deductible) from $47.5 million to $18.7 million (of which losses of $9.3 million have been paid) for a five-year underwriting period between 1991 and 1995 by entering into a commercial insurance contract. Prior to entering into the insurance contract, the Company carefully reviewed the economics of the transaction and its implications as to current reserve levels. The Company concluded that, based upon recent favorable loss development trends (a factor that was clearly confirmed by the proposed insurance arrangement), a change in estimate of reserves was appropriate. The outcome was a $19.3 million adjustment to estimated reserves, offset by a $3.1 million premium for the outside insurance. This resulted in an addition to operating income of $16.2 million before taxes, and an increase to after-tax earnings of $10.4 million or 28 cents per share. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company generally relies upon internally generated cash flows to satisfy working capital needs and to fund capital expenditures. The Company's cash equivalents (cash plus investments) totaled $132.2 million at the end of July compared to $110.4 million at the end of April. Cash flow from operations decreased to $29.3 million in the first quarter compared to $41.0 million in the prior year, primarily as a result of the decline in profitability. Cash received during last year's first quarter included the proceeds from the sale of Fleetwood Credit Corp., which totaled $132.2 million net of income taxes. During last year's first quarter, the Company completed a Dutch Auction tender offer resulting in the purchase of 7.7 million shares, or approximately 17 percent of its outstanding Common stock, at a cost of $240.5 million. Cash outflows during the current quarter included $6.1 million for quarterly dividends to shareholders and $8.4 million in capital expenditures.
