NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The condensed financial statements presented herein are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been either condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the registrant believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made, interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year. As such, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the registrant's most recent Form S-1 (file number 333-33767) which was filed for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. 2. PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER SHARE: Pro forma net income per share has been computed by dividing pro forma net income, net of senior redeemable preferred stock dividends, by the pro forma weighted average number of shares outstanding. In accordance with a regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), such computation includes all common equivalent shares (using the treasury stock method and the initial public offering price) issued twelve months prior to the filing of the initial public offering as if they were outstanding for the entire period presented. Additionally, in accordance with SEC rules, 586,833 shares are included in the pro forma weighted average shares, representing the number of shares necessary to pay the portion of the fiscal 1997 stockholders dividend that exceeded the earnings for such period. Common equivalent shares from convertible stock included in the calculation as if converted. Historical net income per share has not been presented because it is not indicative of the ongoing entity. 3. RECENT ACQUISITIONS: In addition to the acquisition of A-Y Supply, Inc. effective January 1, 1997, the Company recently acquired two additional contractor suppliers for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $20 million. Effective May 1, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Stop Supply, located in Fresno, California. Stop Supply generated net sales of approximately $6 million for its fiscal year ended January 31, 1997. In June 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Viking Distributing, which has stores located in San Francisco, Dublin and San Jose, California. Viking Distributing generated approximately $35 million in net sales for its fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. All three acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method. Had the acquisitions of A-Y Supply, Stop Supply and Viking Distributing occurred at the beginning of the current and prior fiscal years, pro forma net sales, net income, net income per share would be as follows: (in thousands except per share data) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------------- ---------------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net sales $48,695 $43,651 $95,526 $83,902 Net income 1,007 704 1,473 989 Net income per share $ 0.14 $ 0.10 $ 0.20 $ 0.13 -6- 7 4. INCOME TAXES: Prior to February 1997, the Company was taxed as an S Corporation. Under these provisions, taxable income or loss was included in the tax return of the shareholder of the Company. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income taxes was reflected in the historical financial statements prior to February 1997. As an S Corporation, the Company was subject to a minimum franchise tax of $800, or 1.5% of taxable income, which is included in the Company's tax provision for the periods ended September 30, 1996. Effective February 26, 1997 the Company terminated its S Corporation status and converted to a C Corporation for both federal and state purposes. 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: On October 27, 1997 the Company completed its initial public offering of 4.3 million shares of common stock with net proceeds of approximately $71.5 million. The net proceeds were used to retire all outstanding bank and subordinated interest bearing indebtedness and associated prepayment penalties, redeem Redeemable Preferred Stock and pay preferred stock dividends. Immediately prior to the consummation of the offering, the Company effected a 1.74 for 1 stock split of the common stock. The financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split. Effective November 1, 1997, the Company acquired the assets of Burke Concrete Accessories, L.P. ("Burke") for approximately $9 million in cash. Burke, with fiscal 1996 revenues of $25 million, is a full line distributor of concrete accessories, construction chemicals and rental equipment used in pour-in-place, precast and tilt-up concrete construction, renovation and maintenance. Burke operates nine branch locations in the Western United States (six of which are located in existing White Cap markets and three of which are located in the Pacific Northwest). On October 29, 1997 the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement with available borrowings of up to $100 million (including a $75 million delayed draw term facility for acquisitions and a $25 million revolving credit facility). Interest on the amounts borrowed may be paid at the option of the Company at a rate per annum equal to the lead bank's prime or reference rate, or alternatively at bankers' acceptance rate or LIBOR rate plus margins, in each case, based upon the Company's ratio of total debt to operating cash flow. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants limiting mergers, use of proceeds, indebtedness, liens, investments, sale of assets and acquisitions. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants which require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth, leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and asset coverage ratio. -7- 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the Company's condensed financial statements (unaudited) and the notes thereto. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 Net Sales Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1997 ("second quarter 1997") increased $23.7 million, or 94.8%, to $48.7 million compared to $25.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 ("second quarter 1996"). The growth in net sales for the second quarter of 1997 was the result of a 12.0% increase in same store sales, the expansion of product lines and the acquisitions of A-Y Supply, Stop Supply and Viking Distributing. The recently acquired businesses contributed $20.7 million in net sales in the second quarter of 1997. Gross Profit Gross profit for the second quarter 1997 increased $7.5 million, or 93.8%, to $15.5 million compared to $8.0 million for the second quarter 1996. The increase in gross profit was the result of increased net sales offset, in part, by a decrease in gross profit margin. The gross profit margin for the second quarter of 1997 was 31.9% compared to 32.2% for the second quarter of 1996. The decrease in gross profit margin over the prior year was primarily due to the impact of the acquired businesses. The acquired businesses in Northern California have historically generated lower gross profit margins than the Company's historical performance. Gross profit margins improved in the second quarter of 1997 over the first quarter of 1997 primarily due to the completion of new customer promotions. Selling, General and Administrative Expense Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased $5.2 million or 80.0%, to $11.7 million for the second quarter 1997 compared to $6.5 million for the second quarter 1996. As a percent of sales, SG&A was 24.1% for the second quarter 1997 compared to 25.8% for the second quarter 1996. Selling expenses increased $3.9 million, or 95.1%, to $8.0 million in the second quarter of 1997 from $4.1 million for the second quarter of 1996. The increase was due to increased advertising and commissions to the outside sales force due to the sales growth, and increased costs of customer service, principally the addition of branch personnel. Selling expenses as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of 1997 were 16.5%, as compared to 16.4% for the second quarter of 1996. General, administrative and distribution center expenses increased $1.3 million, or 54.2%, to $3.7 million for the second quarter of 1997 from $2.4 million for the second quarter of 1996. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to increased distribution costs to process the increased sales volume and a planned increase in corporate functions to position the Company for future growth. General, administrative and distribution center expenses as a percentage of net sales for the second quarter of 1997 were 7.6%, as compared to 9.4% for the second quarter of 1996. Income from Operations Income from operations for the second quarter 1997 increased $2.2 million, or 137.5%, to $3.8 million compared to $1.6 million for the second quarter of 1996. The operating margin, derived by dividing operating income by net sales, was 7.8% for the second quarter 1997 compared to 6.4% for the second quarter 1996. The increase in operating margin for the second quarter 1997 compared to the second quarter 1996 was the result of the reduction in SG&A as a percentage of sales offset, in part, by the decline in gross profit margins. Interest Expense, net Interest expense, net of interest income, increased $1.5 million, or 375.0%, to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 1997 from $.4 million for the second quarter of 1996. This increase was due to increased levels of debt to support the Company's growth and the debt associated with the recently acquired businesses. -8- 9 Net Income Net income for the second quarter of 1997 and 1996 was $1.2 million. Net income was unchanged between years due to the increase in interest expense and the increase in the tax provision. In February of 1997, the Company converted from an S Corporation to a C Corporation for both federal and state purposes. SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 Net Sales Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 1997 ("first half 1997") increased $37.5 million, or 77.3%, to $86.0 million compared to $48.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 1996 ("first half 1996"). The growth in net sales for the first half of 1997 was the result of a 16.0% increase in same store sales, the expansion of product lines and the acquisition of A-Y Supply, Stop Supply and Viking Distributing. The recently acquired businesses contributed $29.7 million in net sales in the first half of 1997. Gross Profit Gross profit for the first half 1997 increased $11.4 million, or 73.1%, to $27.0 million compared to $15.6 million for the first half 1996. The increase in gross profit was the result of increased net sales offset, in part, by a decrease in gross profit margin. The gross margin was 31.4% for the first half 1997 compared to 32.1% for the first half 1996. The reduction in the gross margin was primarily due to an aggressive promotion of certain products, in the first quarter of 1997, in order to initiate relationships with new customers in the recently acquired businesses in Northern California. Selling, General and Administrative Expense SG&A for the first half 1997 increased $8.5 million to $21.2 million compared to $12.7 million for the first half 1996. As a percent of sales, SG&A decreased to 24.6% for the first half 1997 versus 26.2% for the first half 1996. Selling expenses increased $6.2 million, or 76.5%, to $14.3 million in the first half of 1997 from $8.1 million for the first half of 1996. The increase was due to increased advertising and commissions to the outside sales force due to the sales growth, and increase costs of customer service, principally the addition of branch personnel. Selling expenses as a percent of net sales for the first half of 1997 was 16.6%, as compared to 16.7% for the first half of 1996. General and administrative expenses increased $2.3 million, or 50.0%, to $6.9 million for the first half of 1997 from $4.6 million for the first half of 1996. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the first half of 1997 was 8.0%, as compared to 9.5% for the first half of 1996. Income from Operations Income from operations for the first half 1997 increased $2.9 million, or 100.0%, to $5.8 million compared to $2.9 million for the first half 1996. The operating margin, derived by dividing operating income by net sales, was 6.8% for the first half 1997 compared to 5.9% for the first half 1996. The increase in operating margin for the first half of 1997 compared to the first half of 1996 was the result of the reduction in SG&A as a percentage of sales offset, in part, by the decline in gross profit margins. Interest Expense, net Interest expense, net of interest income, increased $2.4 million, or 300.0%, to $3.2 million in the first half of 1997 from $.8 million for the first half of 1996. This increase was due to increased levels of debt to support the Company's growth and the debt associated with the recently acquired businesses. Net Income Net income decreased $.5 million, or 23.8%, to $1.6 million for the first half 1997 compared to net income of $2.1 million for the first half 1996. The increase in income from operations was offset by the increase in interest expense and the increase in the tax provision. In February of 1997, the Company converted from an S Corporation to a C Corporation for both federal and state purposes. -9- 10 FINANCIAL CONDITION Working Capital During the first half 1997, operating working capital increased $6.0 million. The change in operating working capital was primarily the result of increases in inventories of $6.6 million and accounts receivable of $10.2 million, which were partially offset by increases in accounts payable of $9.2 million and accrued liabilities of $2.1 million. The change in operating working capital excludes changes in cash and cash equivalents and current maturities of long-term debt. Cash Flow The Company generated $3.6 million of net cash from operating activities during the first half 1997, after providing for the $6.0 million increase in operating working capital. Financing activities during the first half 1997 provided net cash of $19.7 million, including $20.0 million from debt sources. The Company expended $1.2 million for capital (other than acquisitions) during the first half 1997 primarily for office and computer equipment, and branch related equipment. Liquidity and Capital Resources Based on the current plans, management anticipates that its cash flow from operations, IPO proceeds, and the available lines of credit will be adequate to support its estimated working capital requirements, operations and strategic acquisition plan for the immediate near future. The Company has an aggressive strategy that has involved, and is expected to continue to involve, the acquisition of companies in related lines of business. Acquisitions may involve a number of special risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial performance, including adverse short-term effects on the Company's reported operating results; diversion of management's attention; difficulties with the retention, hiring and training of key personnel; risks associated with unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and amortization of acquired intangible assets. The Company's business is subject to seasonal influences. The Company's historical revenues and profitability have been lower in the second two quarters of its fiscal year. As the Company's mix of businesses evolves through future acquisition, those seasonal fluctuation may change. In addition, quarterly results also may be materially affected by the timing of acquisitions, the timing and magnitude of costs related to such acquisitions, variations in the prices paid by the Company for the products it sells, the mix of products sold, general economic conditions, and the retroactive restatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements for acquisitions accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method. Therefore, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that the Company may achieve for any subsequent fiscal quarter or for a full fiscal year. On October 27, 1997 the Company completed its initial public offering of 4.3 million shares of common stock with net proceeds of approximately $71.5 million. The net proceeds were used to retire all outstanding bank and subordinated interest bearing indebtedness and associated prepayment penalties, Convertible Preferred Stock, Redeemable Preferred Stock and related accrued dividends. On October 29, 1997 the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement with available borrowings of up to $100 million (including a $75 million delayed draw term facility for acquisitions and a $25 million revolving credit facility). Interest on the amounts borrowed may be paid at the option of the Company at a rate per annum equal to the lead bank's prime or reference rate, or alternatively at bankers' acceptance rate or LIBOR rate plus margins, in each case based upon the Company's ratio of total debt to operating cash flow. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants limiting mergers, use of proceeds, indebtedness, liens, investments, sale of assets and acquisitions. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants which require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth, leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and asset coverage ratio. The Company has entered into a letter of intent to acquire the stock of a one-branch contractor supplier, with fiscal revenues of $5 million, which specializes in braces, inserts and accessories for tilt-up concrete construction. The completion of the proposed acquisition is contingent upon satisfactory completion of due diligence and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS -- Under the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 Certain statements in this quarterly report are forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the control of the Company, including the level of market demand for the Company's products, competitive pressures, the ability to achieve reductions in operating costs and management's ability to continue to integrate acquisitions, dependence on systems, environmental matters and other specific factors discussed in the Company's Prospectus, dated October 22, 1997, and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The information contained herein represents management's best judgment as of the date hereof based on information currently available; however, the Company does not intend to update this information to reflect developments or information obtained after the date hereof and disclaims any legal obligation to the contrary. -10- 11 PART II.
