Note to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
The consolidated condensed 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 Article
10 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 have been included.
Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
BANDAG, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2 -Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Consolidated net sales and unit volume for the third quarter ended
September 30, 1996, were 4% and 2% higher, respectively, than the same
period last year. Increases in both sales and unit volume in the third
quarter by the Company's domestic and Latin America operations more than
offset shortfalls in the other major geographic areas. For the nine
months to-date, consolidated net sales and unit volume both increased 2%
over the same period last year.
Consolidated gross margin for the third quarter was approximately three
percentage points higher than both the same period last year and the
second quarter 1996. The higher consolidated gross margin for the quarter
was due to lower raw material costs and higher manufacturing absorption
resulting from higher production.
Consolidated operating expenses for the third quarter and nine months were
31% and 26% higher, respectively, than the same periods last year. The
increases were due to higher spending on sales and marketing related
programs, dealer system development programs, training and global
development, R&D projects, and expenses related to replacing lost
distribution from the cancellation of a major U.S. franchisee, as
discussed in the Company's first quarter 1996 Form 10-Q, with some offset
coming from the lower currency rates used to translate foreign currency
denominated expenses.
Consolidated net earnings for the quarter and nine months were 12% and 16%
lower, respectively, than the same periods last year. The primary reason
for the lower net earnings was the higher operating expenses as discussed
above combined with a one percentage point increase in the Company's
effective income tax rate. Consolidated net earnings per share for the
same periods were 5% and 10% lower, respectively, than last year. The
lesser decreases in net earnings per share, in comparison to the decreases
in net earnings, reflect the impact of fewer average shares outstanding in
1996 because of the Company's ongoing share repurchase program.
Domestic Operations
Sales for the Company's domestic operations for the third quarter ended
September 30, 1996, which includes export shipments to various Latin
American and Asian countries, were 3% higher than the same period last
year on a 5% increase in unit volume. For the nine months, both sales and
unit volume were 3% higher than the same period last year.
Gross margin for the Company's domestic operations for the third quarter
was higher than the same period last year, slightly improving the nine
months to-date comparisons over last year. Raw material costs for the
first nine months of this year have been trending lower than in comparison
to the same period last year. The impact of the lower raw material costs
combined with favorable manufacturing expense absorption as a result of
higher production during the third quarter was the primary reason for the
increase in gross margin in the third quarter.
The domestic operation's operating expenses for the quarter and nine
months were both 25% higher than the same periods last year. The
significant increase in spending was due to the Company investing heavily
on systems development, sales and marketing programs, training, research
and development, and expenses related to replacing the distribution lost
when the Company ended its relationship with its largest franchisee.
Earnings before taxes decreased 26% and 21% for the quarter and nine
months, respectively, compared to the same periods last year, primarily
due to the increase in operating expenses.
Western European Operations
Sales and unit volume for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, for
Western Europe were 7% and 2% lower, respectively, while sales and unit
volume for the nine months were 3% and 7% lower, respectively, than the
same periods last year. The economic slowdown within major European
countries that are served by the Company's European operation is reflected
in the lower unit volume. The sales comparison stated in U.S. dollars was
less favorable than in local currency due to the negative effect of
exchange rates used to translate local currency denominated results.
Sales stated in local currency were 2% lower than last year for both the
quarter and nine months. The sales decrease for the nine months was less
than the decrease in unit volume due to the full year impact of selling
price increases initiated in 1995.
Western Europe's gross margin was approximately two percentage points
lower than last year for both the third quarter and nine months to-date
due to higher raw material costs with some offset coming from higher
selling prices.
Operating expenses increased 21% for the third quarter but were only 7%
higher for the nine months to-date compared to the same periods last year
reflecting the impact of a less favorable exchange rate used to translate
local currency results into U.S. dollars. Expenses for the quarter and
nine months, stated in local currency, were 11% and 13% higher than the
same periods last year. The increase in operating expenses in local
currencies was primarily due to higher spending related to sales and
marketing programs and increased staffing.
Earnings before income taxes decreased 82% and 36% for the third quarter
and nine months to-date, respectively.
Other Foreign Operations
Combined sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996 for the
other geographic areas were approximately 1% lower than the same period
last year while unit volume was basically even. For the nine months to-
date sales and unit volume were 4% and 6% higher, respectively, than the
same period last year. Brazil and Mexico both recorded double-digit
increases in sales and unit volume for the quarter and nine months, but
South Africa's results were negatively impacted by the cancellation of its
largest dealer which offset the gains in the other market areas. For
additional information, see the discussion cited in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.
The combined third quarter gross margin for the Company's other foreign
operations decreased 2.6 percentage points over the previous year but was
equal to the previous year for the nine months to-date.
Combined operating expenses for the quarter and nine months for the
Company's other foreign operations were 17% and 25% higher, respectively,
than the same periods last year. The higher operating expenses for both
the quarter and nine months were primarily due to higher expenses in
Brazil and Mexico. Brazil's expenses were higher because of increased
sales and marketing efforts. Expenses for Mexico reflect increases in
spending related to staffing and marketing programs associated with the
increase in unit volume.
Earnings before income taxes for the third quarter were 18% lower than the
same period last year due to the increase in operating expenses during the
quarter. These higher expenses also impacted the nine months to-date
earnings before income taxes, which were 6% lower than the same period
last year.
Financial Condition:
Operating Activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, was $13.2 million less than the amount for the same
period last year with net earnings decreasing $11.6 million and decreases
of $0.9 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities and $0.7
million in depreciation.
Investing Activities.
The Company's capital expenditures totaled $13.6 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996, bringing the year-to-date total to $26.5
million. The Company typically funds its capital expenditures from
operating cash flows.
The Company's excess funds are invested in financial instruments with
various maturities, but only instruments with an original maturity date of
over 90 days are classified as investments for balance sheet purposes.
The Company's purchases of investments were less than maturities by $5.2
million during the third quarter, bringing total investments to $6.8
million at September 30, 1996.
Financing Activities.
Cash dividends totaled $5.3 million and $16.1 million for the quarter and
nine months, respectively, compared to totals of $4.9 million and $15.2
million for the same periods last year. The Company purchased 806,512
shares of its outstanding Common and Class A Common stock, at prevailing
market prices, for $37.9 million during the third quarter, bringing the
total for the nine months to-date to 1,297,718 shares purchased for $61.7
million. Cash dividends and stock purchases were funded from operational
cash flows and supplemented by approximately $25 million in short-term
borrowing during the quarter. The Company continues to have $92 million
in unused lines of credit and foreign credit and overdraft facilities.
