Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the
fiscal year ended December 28, 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET SALES. Net sales were $151,977,000 for the three months ended
September 27, 1997, representing an increase of $8,186,000 or 5.7% as compared
to $143,791,000 for the three months ended September 28, 1996. Net sales for
the nine months ended September 27, 1997 increased $34,863,000 or 10.4% to
$370,633,000 as compared to $335,770,000 for the same period in 1996. These
increases reflected strong mattress pad, fashion bedding and blanket sales, due
in part to the inclusion of the Fieldcrest blanket business acquired in 1996.
GROSS PROFIT. The gross profit percentage for the third quarter ended
September 27, 1997 increased to 17.5% from 16.9% for the third quarter of 1996.
For the nine months ended September 27, 1997, the gross profit increased to
17.5% from 16.5% for the same period in 1996. The gross margin improvement
resulted primarily from lower raw material costs and greater efficiencies
through improved utilization of plant capacities, generated by continued capital
investments in machinery and facilities. The Company also successfully
continued its cost reduction initiatives.
SG&A. Selling, general and administrative ('SG&A') expenses for the three
months ended September 27, 1997 decreased to $10,112,000 from $10,614,000 for
the same period in 1996, and decreased as a percentage of sales to 6.7% in the
third quarter of 1997 from 7.4% for the same period in 1996. For the nine
months ended September 27, 1997, SG&A expenses increased to $33,728,000 from
$31,170,000 for the same period in 1996. SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales
decreased to 9.1% for the nine-month period ended September 27, 1997 as compared
to 9.3% for the first nine months in 1996. SG&A for the three-month period ended
September 27, 1997 remained flat when compared to the same period in 1996. SG&A
for the nine-month period increased when compared with the same period in 1996
due primarily to higher compensation and travel costs. These increases were due
in part to the filling of new staff positions and positions which were vacant in
1996. SG&A as a percent of sales for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 27, 1997 continued to improve when compared to the same periods in
1996 reflecting the Company's commitment to containing these costs.
INTEREST. Interest expense for the third quarter of 1997 increased by
$1,257,000 or 34.3% to $4,921,000 from $3,664,000 for the same period in 1996.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 27, 1997 increased by
$3,678,000 or 35.8% to $13,957,000 from $10,279,000 for the nine months ended
September 28, 1996, principally due to higher borrowings associated with
seasonal inventory increases, installation of new equipment and capital
improvements and increased average interest rates.
TAXES. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27,
1997 decreased to 38.8% compared to 39.0% for the three months ended September
28, 1996. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 27, 1997
decreased to 38.8% from 39.1% for the nine months ended September 28, 1996,
primarily due to lower state taxes.
NET EARNINGS. Net earnings for the three months ended September 27, 1997
increased $928,000 or 15.2% to $7,050,000 or $.66 per share, compared to net
earnings of $6,122,000 or $.58 per share for the same period in 1996. As a
percentage of sales, net earnings for the three months ended September 27, 1997
increased to 4.7% from 4.3% for the same period in 1996. Net earnings for the
12
nine months ended September 27, 1997 increased $2,018,000 or 23.6% to
$10,572,000 or $.99 per share, from $8,554,000 or $.81 per share for the same
period in 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 27, 1997, the outstanding principal balance under the
Company's $175,000,000 secured revolving credit facility was $86,350,000, with
$9,861,000 committed to outstanding letters of credit, and $78,789,000 available
for other needs. The increase in borrowings in the third quarter of 1997 was due
primarily to the seasonal expansion of inventories and the installation of new
equipment and capital improvements at our production facilities.
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to minimize the risk
of fluctuations in interest rates. The Company currently has interest rate swap
agreements in place covering approximately $125,000,000 of indebtedness which
expire in November 2000, with an average interest rate of 9.62%.
On September 29, 1997, the Company paid a dividend of $.06 per share to
shareholders of record on September 15, 1997.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which specifies the computation, presentation and
disclosure requirements for earnings per share for entities with publicly held
common stock for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.
Management of the Company does not expect the impact from adopting the
provisions of Statement No. 128 in fiscal year 1997 to be material.
As previously announced by the Company in its press release dated September
11, 1997 and its Form 8-K dated September 10, 1997, on September 10, 1997, the
Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ('Newco') and Fieldcrest
Cannon, Inc. ('Fieldcrest') entered into an agreement pursuant to which, on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Newco will be merged with
and into Fieldcrest (the 'Merger'), and Fieldcrest will thereby become a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger, and the financing thereof, will
have a significant impact on the capitalization of the Company.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
As of July 1, 1996, quota restrictions on down comforter shells imported
from China were eliminated, allowing the Company to import shells on an
unlimited and as-needed basis.
Products that the Company imports from China currently receive preferential
tariff treatment accorded goods from countries granted 'most favored nation'
status. Under the Trade Act of 1974, the President of the United States is
authorized, upon making specified findings, to waive certain restrictions that
would otherwise render China ineligible for most favored nation treatment. The
President has waived these provisions each year since 1979; however, no
assurance can be given that China will continue to enjoy this status. Raw
materials and finished products entering the United States from China without
the benefit of most favored nation treatment would be subject to significantly
higher duty rates. However, the Company believes that the loss of China's most
favored nation status is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
