FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONDENSED STATEMENT
OF EARNINGS
Financial Condition - The Company's cash, cash equivalents, and temporary
investments at December 31, 1996 increased by $389,000 from the balances at June
30, 1996. During that same six months, net trade receivables decreased by
$1,895,000 while inventories increased by $862,000. Capital expenditures were
$3,159,000 for manufacturing and delivery equipment. Working capital decreased
by $478,000 for the six month period. In the next six months approximately
$2,000,000 will be spent for production related equipment.
Economic Conditions - The Company anticipates that demand for its seating
products will continue at current moderate levels over the remainder of the
fiscal year. Management continues to focus on internal improvements in the areas
of product line simplification, cost savings identification and implementation,
and manufacturing process efficiencies. Operating profits should improve as a
result of these strategies.
Results of Operations for the Quarter - Sales for the current quarter increased
by approximately $2,375,000 (4.9%), compared to the prior year quarter. Sales
volume increased by $1,704,000 (5.5%) in Home Furnishings and $982,000 (23.6%)
in Commercial Seating products, while Recreational Vehicle products sales
decreased by $311,000 (2.4%). Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended December
31, 1996 increased by $1,286,000 over the quarter ended December 31, 1995. Sales
volume related cost increases were partially offset by approximately $600,000 in
production related efficiency improvements and fixed cost absorption when
compared to the prior year quarter. Selling, general, and administrative costs
for the current quarter increased by $387,000 over the same quarter of the prior
year due primarily to the increased sales volume. These changes resulted in an
increase in net income after taxes of $487,000, or $.07 per share, compared to
the quarter ended December 31, 1995.
Results of Operations for the Last Six Months - Sales increased by approximately
$5,167,000 (5.3%), compared to the six month period ended December 31, 1995.
Sales increased $2,266,000 (3.6%)in Home Furnishings, Commercial Seating
increased $2,189,000 (27.1%), and Recreational Vehicle increased $712,000
(2.7%). Cost of goods sold increased by $2,561,000. Volume related cost
increases were offset by approximately $1,100,000 in production related
efficiency improvements and fixed cost absorption as compared to the prior year.
In addition, prior year results included pre-tax costs of $470,000, or $.04 per
share after tax, associated with closing the Sweetwater, TN production facility.
Selling, general, and administrative costs increased only $342,000. The Company
was able to absorb approximately $350,000 of volume related increases primarily
due to a lower bad debt provision. In addition, prior year results included
costs of approximately $250,000 associated with development of our Comfort
Seating Showroom Program. These changes resulted in an increase in net income
after taxes of $1,521,000, or $.22 per share, compared to the six month period
ended December 31, 1995.
