AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in PENWEST's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations. 2. OTHER INCOME During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company sold its remaining Southern California air credits related to the operations of Great Western Malting Co., a division of the Company sold in 1989. The sale of the credits resulted in a pretax gain of $1.2 million, which is included in other income for the nine months ended May 31, 1997. 3. INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate for the quarter ended May 31, 1997 was 34%. The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended May 31, 1997 was 33% compared to the statutory rate of 34%. The effective rate over nine months was lower than the statutory rate due to state tax refunds received by the Company during the second quarter of fiscal 1997. 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on February 28, 1998. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact is expected to result in no effect to primary earnings per share for the fiscal quarter ending May 31, 1997 and a $0.01 increase to primary earnings per share for the nine months ended May 31, 1997. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share is not expected to be material. 6 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity At May 31, 1997, PENWEST had working capital of $30.8 million, a $35.0 million unsecured credit agreement under which there was $20.3 million outstanding, and several uncommitted lines of credit aggregating $15.0 million with two banks that may be used for overnight borrowings under which there was $7.7 million outstanding. Cash flow from operations for the nine month period was $14.1 million compared to $12.0 million in the corresponding period a year ago. The Company used operating cash flow and debt to finance capital expenditures and operating activities during the nine months ended May 31, 1997. The Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.05 per share on December 6, 1996, March 7, 1997, and June 5, 1997. Capital Resources Third quarter and year-to-date additions to property, plant and equipment of $4.5 million and $18.1 million, respectively, were primarily for projects related to capacity expansion at Penwest Foods' facility in Richland, Washington and various ongoing improvements at Penford Products' facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Results of Operations Net income was $1.8 million, or $0.26 per share, for the third quarter compared to net income of $1.0 million, or $0.15 per share, for the corresponding period a year ago. Net income for nine months of the fiscal year was $4.5 million, or $0.64 per share, compared with $3.7 million, or $0.52 per share, in the prior year period. The first quarter of fiscal year 1997 included other income of $1.2 million representing $800,000 after tax, or $0.11 per share, from the sale of Southern California air credits related to the operations of Great Western Malting Co., a division of the Company sold in 1989. Sales increased in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 1997 to $50.0 million and $147.6 million, respectively, representing increases of 1.8% and 4.7%, respectively, from the corresponding periods a year ago. The third quarter increase is primarily due to higher sales volumes of manufactured products at Penford Products and Penwest Foods. Penford Products, accounting for approximately 75% of all revenues, operated at near capacity levels. The volume increases reflected in total sales were partially offset by lower corn costs, a key component used in pricing the sales of Penford's paper chemical products. The gross margin for the three month period ended May 31, 1997 was 28.1% compared to 23.5% in the corresponding period a year ago and 25.2% and 24.7% for the nine months ended May 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The improvement in gross margin is due, in part, to a decline in corn prices compared to last year. The effect of more volume moving through the Penford and Penwest Foods manufacturing facilities and the increase in sales volume of Penford's starch copolymer products also positively affected the gross margin percentage. 7 8 Operating expenses in the third quarter rose $1.1 million, or 12.2%, compared to the same period in the previous year. For the fiscal year, operating expenses have increased $1.8 million, or 6.8%. These increases are primarily due to increased investment in research and development at Penwest Pharmaceuticals as well as higher selling and performance-based incentive expenses. Net interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was $1.4 million compared to $1.9 million for the corresponding period a year ago. For the year, net interest expense was $4.0 million compared to $3.5 million a year ago mainly reflecting lower amounts of capitalized interest. Recent Development On June 11, 1997, Penwest Pharmaceuticals and its licensee, Mylan Laboratories Inc., announced that a Paragraph IV Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) had been filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for controlled release nifedipine tablets incorporating Penwest Pharmaceuticals' patented TIMERx(R) controlled release delivery system. The filing was made by Mylan and represents the first generic alternative to Procardia XL, a calcium channel blocker for treating hypertension with a U.S. market of approximately $950 million in 1996. Forward-looking Statements The above discussion contains forward-looking statements. There are certain important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by the statements made above. These factors include, but are not limited to, the market price of corn and corn by-products, the economic condition of the paper industry, competition, product development risks, patent and intellectual property matters (including the possibility of patent infringement litigation), dependence on collaborative partners, and regulatory and manufacturing issues (including the difficulty of predicting FDA approvals). Additional information on these and other factors which could affect the Company's financial results is included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders, its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, and its Forms 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended November 30, 1996 and February 28, 1997, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 8 9 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6 Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.
