Note 1. Basis of Financial Statement Preparation
The consolidated financial statements contained herein are unaudited and have
been prepared from the books and records of KEMET Corporation and Subsidiaries
(KEMET or the Company). In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is
suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's fiscal year ending March 31, 1997 Form 10-K. Net sales and operating
results for the three months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In consolidation all significant
intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Month Period Ended June 30, 1997 and Three Month Period Ended June 30,
1996
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $161.2 million, an
increase of 28% from net sales of $125.7 million for the three months ended June
30, 1996. The increase in first quarter net sales reflects the increased demand
for surface-mount products. This demand was met by improving manufacturing
processes and adding production capacity. Sales of surface-mount capacitors
were $119.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1998, an increase of 38%
from $86.6 million in the prior year's first quarter and sales of leaded
capacitors increased 7% to $41.8 million from $39.1 million. Globally, sales
increased significantly with domestic sales increasing 25% to $92.0 million and
export sales increasing 33% to $69.2 million as compared to the prior year's
first quarter.
Cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation, for the three months ended June 30,
1997 was $110.6 million compared to $84.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales, exclusive of
depreciation, increased to 69% from 67% primarily as a result of a decline in
selling prices offset in part by improvements in manufacturing efficiencies and
continued efforts to reduce manufacturing costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
1997 were $12.1 million, or 8% of net sales, as compared to $11.2 million, or 9%
of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percent of sales decreased primarily as a result of
efficiencies associated with the increased sales volume.
Research, development and engineering expenses for the three months ended June
30, 1997 were $5.6 million compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996. The increase reflects the Company's continued investments in new
products and technologies and the enhancement of manufacturing efficiencies.
6
Depreciation and amortization expense was $9.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $8.0 million from the prior
year's first quarter and resulted primarily from increased capital expenditures
over the past fiscal years.
Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $23.5 million
compared to $16.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The
increase resulted primarily from the increase in net sales as discussed above.
Income tax expense was 32.0% and 36.5% of earnings for the three month periods
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in the effective
income tax rate was primarily the result of increased foreign sales corporation
benefits and the implementation of various state tax savings strategies, which
were put in place late in fiscal year 1997.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity needs arise primarily from working capital requirements,
capital expenditures and interest payments on its indebtedness. The Company
intends to satisfy its liquidity requirements primarily with funds provided by
operations, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and amounts advanced
under its foreign accounts receivable discounting arrangements.
Cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 1997
amounted to a surplus of $22.9 million compared with a deficit of $8.2 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in cash flow was
primarily a result of the increase in net income and the timing of cash flows
from current assets and liabilities such as accounts receivables, inventories,
accounts payables, accrued liabilities and income taxes payable.
Capital expenditures were $29.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997
compared to $30.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The Company
is continuing to invest in key capital projects for the future with the majority
of capital expenditures devoted to surface-mount production capacity.
During the three months ended June 30, 1997 the Company increased its
indebtedness (long-term debt and current portion of long-term debt) by $8.3
million which consisted primarily of the financing of capital expenditures. The
Company had unused availability under its revolving credit facility as of June
30, 1997 of approximately $73.8 million.
KEMET believes its strong financial position will permit the financing of its
business needs and opportunities in an orderly manner. It is anticipated that
ongoing operations will be financed primarily by internally generated funds. In
addition, the Company has the flexibility to meet short-term working capital and
other temporary requirements through utilization of its borrowings under its
bank credit facilities.
Certain statements contained above may be forward looking statements involving
risks and uncertainties discussed in detail in the Company's Securities and
Exchange Commission filings and reports, including the Company's 1997 Annual
Report to Stockholders. Actual results may vary due to these or other risks and
uncertainties.
