NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
July 26, 1996
NOTE 1: 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
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 three and nine month
periods ended July 26, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended October 25, 1996. For further information
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
The Valspar Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October
27, 1995.
NOTE 2: Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of Common
Shares outstanding during each period plus Common Stock equivalents on stock
options. Potential dilution from the exercise of stock options is not material.
NOTE 3: Trade accounts payable include $11.8 million at July 26, 1996 and $13.7
million at July 28, 1995 of issued checks which had not cleared the Company's
bank accounts.
NOTE 4: Effective April 30, 1996, the Company completed the first phase of its
acquisition of Coates Coatings (Coates) pursuant to an acquisition agreement
between Coates Brothers PLC, an affiliate of TOTAL SA, and the Company dated
February 26, 1996. The first phase included the Coates European businesses,
which consists of packaging coatings and metal decorating inks businesses in the
United Kingdom, France, Norway, Germany and Spain. These operations will be
combined with the Company's existing European packaging coatings business and
will be known as ValsparCoates-Europe. Also included were the Coates Australian
and United States operations which will be combined with the Company's existing
businesses in these countries. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase.
Accordingly, the net assets and operating results are included in the Company's
financial statements from the date of acquisition. The transaction had an
immaterial effect on the results of operations reported for the period ended
July 26, 1996.
The acquisition agreement calls for several subsequent phases for the
acquisition of certain other Coates operations. Worldwide sales for Coates and
all of its affiliates were approximately $125 million in 1995. Subsequent phases
of the transaction are subject to various conditions and regulatory approvals.
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Acquisition: Effective April 30, 1996 the Company completed the first phase of
its acquisition of TOTAL SA's Coates Coatings operations. The transaction was
accounted for as a purchase and had an immaterial effect on the results of
operations reported for the period ended July 26, 1996.
The total consideration for this first phase of the transaction was
approximately $50 million in cash; including approximately $40 million paid for
the assets and stock of certain Coates Coatings affiliates, and approximately
$10 million paid to acquire intercompany debts owed by certain of the acquired
Coates Coatings affiliates. The transaction was financed through credit
facilities with the Company's existing banking group.
Operations: Net sales increased 14.4% to $247,481,000 and 6.3% to $621,244,000
in the three and nine month periods ended July 26, 1996, respectively, over net
sales for the comparable periods one year ago. Excluding the results of the
acquired Coates businesses, net sales increased 9.1% for the three months and
4.3% for the nine months ended July 26, 1996. In addition to the acquisition,
the third quarter and year-to-date sales increase was driven by volume increases
in the Consumer, Industrial, Sunbelt, EPS resin and Color Corp. colorant
businesses and pricing actions taken in substantially all of the businesses
during the prior fiscal year in response to rising raw material costs. The
increase was partially offset by lower sales in Packaging, Maintenance and
Federal resulting from lower volumes sold in those businesses. Due to the
seasonal nature of the Company's business, sales for the quarter and nine months
are not necessarily indicative of sales for the full year.
The gross profit margin improved from 29.7% in 1995 to 30.7% in 1996 for the
third quarter. The gross profit margin for the first nine months was 29.8% in
1996 compared to 28.4% in 1995, with Consumer, Industrial, Color Corp. and
Sunbelt driving the improvement for both periods. This year's margin is impacted
by reduced production and distribution costs with the three new facilities fully
operational this year whereas they were in various start-up stages last year at
this time. In addition, the margin for the nine months ended July 28, 1995 was
lower due to escalating raw material costs during that period. Raw material
costs continued stable in the third quarter of 1996. While the Company does not
forecast a significant upward trend in raw material costs over the next several
months, it is experiencing cost pressures on selected items.
Operating expenses (research, selling and administrative) increased 21.0% for
the third quarter and 11.1% for the first nine months of 1996 from the
comparable periods in 1995. Excluding the impact of Coates, the increases would
have been 12.4% and 8.1% for the three and nine month periods, respectively. The
remaining increases result primarily from additional advertising and other
promotional costs for large Consumer customers, increased research spending,
costs associated with the upgrade and replacement of the Company's information
systems and costs incurred in the Company's international sales offices.
Net income for 1996 increased 17.6% in the third quarter and 16.8% for the first
nine months from the comparable periods for 1995, primarily driven by higher
sales levels and gross profit margin rates. Improved results from the Company's
unconsolidated joint ventures also contributed to the increase in earnings for
both periods reported. Interest expense was lower due to reduced borrowing
levels prior to the Coates acquisition.
Financial Condition: The net cash provided by the Company's operations was
$54,710,000 for the first nine months of 1996 compared to $42,994,000 for the
first nine months of 1995. The additional cash was provided by increases in net
income and depreciation and amortization and a reduction in net working capital
requirements, primarily for accounts receivable. Days sales outstanding as of
July 1996 were consistent with July 1995.
Net cash provided by operations, coupled with bank borrowings, were used to
finance capital expenditures of $16,243,000; pay dividends of $10,921,000; and
finance acquisition expenditures, primarily related to the Coates acquisition,
of $51,369,000. The Company continues to upgrade and replace its existing
management information systems. Aside from this project, capital spending was
distributed among the four business groups with no other single major
expenditure. The reduction in capital spending from the prior year relates to
the completion of new production facilities in Statesville, North Carolina and
Marengo, Illinois during 1995.
The Company's total debt to capital ratio increased to 20.7% at the end of the
third quarter from 11.4% at the close of fiscal 1995 as the cash flow generated
by the business was offset by borrowings incurred to fund the acquisition. The
total debt to capital ratio as of July 28, 1995 was 21.3%. The Company believes
its existing lines of credit will be sufficient to meet its current and
projected needs for financing.
