MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The purpose of this section is to discuss and analyze the Company's consolidated financial condition, liquidity and capital resources and results of operations. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999 10-K"). OVERVIEW Motor Cargo Industries, Inc. (the "Company") is a regional less-than-truckload ("LTL") carrier which provides transportation and logistics services to shippers within the Company's service region. The Company's service region is the western United States, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington. The Company transports general commodities, including consumer goods, packaged foodstuffs, electronics, computer equipment, apparel, hardware, industrial goods and auto parts for a diversified customer base. The Company offers a broad range of services, including expedited scheduling and full temperature-controlled service. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MC Distribution Services, Inc. ("MCDS"), the Company also provides customized logistics, warehousing and distribution management services. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the percentage of operating revenues represented by certain items in the Company's statements of earnings: THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, ------------------------- ------------------------ 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- Operating revenues 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Operating expenses Salaries, wages and benefits 48.8 45.0 49.8 46.7 Operating supplies and expenses 16.1 16.4 16.2 15.7 Purchased transportation 9.3 13.4 9.4 13.8 Operating taxes and licenses 4.0 3.9 3.9 3.8 Insurance and claims 2.4 3.7 2.8 3.5 Depreciation and amortization 6.9 6.7 7.2 6.9 Communications and utilities 1.5 1.4 1.7 1.5 Building rents 2.7 2.1 2.8 2.2 Gain on sale of equipment (0.1) (0.2) (0.1) (0.1) Other non-recurring expenses - - 0.2 - ------- ------- ------- ------- Total operating expenses 91.6 92.4 93.9 94.0 ------- ------- ------- ------- Operating income 8.4 7.6 6.1 6.0 Other income (expense) Interest expense (0.1) (0.1) (0.1) (0.1) Other, net 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 ------- ------- ------- ------- Earnings before income taxes 8.4 7.6 6.1 6.0 Income taxes 3.3 3.0 2.4 2.4 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net earnings 5.1 4.6 3.7 3.6 ======= ======= ======= ======= THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 Operating revenues decreased 1.8% to $31.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $32.4 million for the same period in 1999. The decrease was primarily attributable to the account rationalization program that was implemented during the fourth quarter of 1999, pursuant to which the Company discontinued the 8 handling of freight for a number of accounts that did not meet acceptable yield levels. In addition, the second quarter of 1999 included approximately $1.5 million of revenue from the Company's Chicago facility, which was subsequently closed during the third quarter of 1999. The number of shipments during the second quarter of 2000 decreased by 6.8% to 243,300 compared to 261,100 for the second quarter of 1999. Revenues contributed by MCDS increased to $1,114,000 for the second quarter of 2000, compared to $929,000 for the second quarter of 1999. The increase was due primarily to increased volume with one customer. As a percentage of operating revenues, salaries, wages and benefits increased to 48.8% for the second quarter of 2000 from 45.0% for the second quarter of 1999. This 3.8% increase was due primarily to an increase in employee wages and benefits associated with shifting to the use of more Company drivers and less use of purchased transportation. The use of more Company drivers resulted in a reduction in the expense incurred by the Company for purchased transportation. The increased salaries, wages and benefits for the second quarter of 2000 also reflect an increase in the total number of service center personnel resulting from the conversion of one independent agent facility to a Company owned service center. Purchased transportation decreased to 9.3% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to 13.4% for the same period in 1999. This 4.1% reduction was the result of replacing a portion of purchased transportation with Company drivers and equipment. Corresponding increases were incurred in expense categories related to drivers and equipment such as wages, benefits, operating supplies and expenses, depreciation, licenses and taxes. Operating supplies and expenses decreased to 16.1% of operating revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to 16.4% for the same period in 1999. The additional costs associated with the increased price of fuel represented approximately 1.2% of revenue for the second quarter of 2000. Although the Company has implemented a fuel surcharge to reduce the impact of rising fuel costs, increased fuel prices can nevertheless have an adverse effect on the operations and profitability of the Company due to the difficulty of imposing and collecting the surcharge. Operating supplies and expenses were reduced in various categories during the second quarter of 2000. The most significant decrease in operating supplies and expenses resulted from a decrease in commissions to agents due to the conversion of one independent agent facility to a Company owned service center during the second half of 1999. Insurance and claims expense decreased to 2.4% of revenue for the second quarter 2000 compared to 3.7% for the same quarter 1999. This was attributable to reduced expenses associated with self insured liability and cargo claims. Frequency of accidents per million miles was reduced to 4.2 from 6.3 for the second quarter of 2000 and 1999 respectively. Building rents increased to 2.7% of revenue for the second quarter of 2000 as compared to 2.1% for the same quarter of 1999. This increase was due primarily to lease payments for additional facilities in Fremont, California and Boise, Idaho, as well as continuing lease payments on unused facilities in Chicago, Illinois, Benicia, California and Boise, Idaho. Total operating expenses decreased to 91.6% of operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 92.4% for the same period in 1999. Net earnings increased 9.2% to $1,635,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $1,498,000 for the same period in 1999. Net earnings per weighted average diluted share outstanding increased $0.02 to $0.24 for the second quarter of 2000, compared to net earnings per weighted average diluted share of $0.22 for the second quarter of 1999. 9 SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 Operating revenues increased 1.8% to $62.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $61.1 million for the same period in 1999. The increase was attributable an improved yield due to increased rates and a reduction in lower yield freight as a percentage of total tonnage as a result of the Company's account rationalization and the closure of the Chicago facility in the third quarter of 1999. The number of shipments during the six months ended June 30, 2000, decreased by 4.2% to 475,700, compared to 496,300 for the same period in 1999. Revenues for MCDS increased to $2,207,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, from $1,779,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase was due primarily to increased volume with one customer. As a percentage of operating revenues, salaries, wages and benefits increased to 49.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2000, from 46.7% for the same period of 1999. This 3.1% increase was due primarily to an increase in employee wages and benefits associated with shifting to the use of more Company drivers and less use of purchased transportation. The use of more Company drivers resulted in a reduction in the expense incurred by the Company for purchased transportation. The increased salaries, wages and benefits for the second quarter of 2000 also reflect an increase in the total number of service center personnel resulting from the conversion of one independent agent facility to the Company owned service center. Purchased transportation decreased to 9.4% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to 13.8% for the same period in 1999. This 4.4% reduction was the result of replacing a portion of purchased transportation with Company drivers and equipment. Corresponding increases were incurred in expense categories related to drivers and equipment such as wages, benefits, operating supplies and expenses, depreciation, licenses and taxes. Operating supplies and expenses increased to 16.2% of operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 15.7% for the same period in 1999. The additional costs associated with the increased price of fuel represented approximately 1.6% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Although the Company has implemented a fuel surcharge to reduce the impact of rising fuel costs, increased fuel prices can nevertheless have an adverse effect on the operations and profitability of the Company due to the difficulty of imposing and collecting the surcharge. Other categories within operating supplies and expenses have decreased. The most significant decrease was a result of reduced commissions paid to agents due to the conversion of one independent agent facility to a Company owned service center during the second half of 1999. Building rents increased to 2.8% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to 2.2% for the same period of 1999. This increase was due primarily to lease payments for additional facilities in Fremont, California and Boise, Idaho, as well as continuing lease payments on unused facilities in Chicago, Illinois, Benicia, California and Boise, Idaho. Total operating expenses decreased to 93.9% of operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000, from 94.0% for the same period in 1999. Net earnings increased 4.0% to $2,307,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $2,219,000 for the same period in 1999. Net earnings per share increased $0.02 to $0.34 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to net earnings per share of $0.32 for the same period in 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary sources of liquidity are funds provided by operations and bank borrowings. Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $8.1 million for the first six months of 2000 compared to $9.3 million for the corresponding period in 1999. Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to the Company's earnings before depreciation and amortization expense. 10 Capital expenditures and a note receivable associated with future capital expenditures totaled approximately $4.1 million during the first six months of 2000 compared to $8.8 million in the comparable period of 1999. The decrease in capital expenditures was primarily due to reduced spending on land and buildings. Net cash used in financing activities was $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $4.4 million for the comparable period of 1999. At June 30, 2000, total borrowings under long-term obligations totaled approximately $1.2 million. The Company is a party to a loan agreement with Zions First National Bank ("Zions") that provides for a revolving line of credit in an amount not exceeding $5 million. The loan agreement provides for the issuance of letters of credit and may be used for this purpose, as well as to fund the working capital needs of the Company. As of June 30, 2000, there was no outstanding balance under this revolving line of credit. Zions has also provided a second revolving line of credit to the Company in an amount not to exceed $20 million. The Company intends to use amounts available under this credit facility primarily to purchase equipment used in operations and for other strategic purposes. As of June 30, 2000, there was a zero outstanding balance under this facility. All amounts outstanding under the two loan facilities described above accrue interest at a variable rate established from time to time by Zions. The Company does have the option, however, to request that specific advances accrue interest at a fixed rate quoted by Zions subject to certain prepayment restrictions. All amounts outstanding under the two loan facilities are collateralized by the Company's inventory, chattel paper, accounts receivable and equipment now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company. SEASONALITY The Company experiences some seasonal fluctuations in freight volume. Historically, the Company's shipments decrease during the winter months. In addition, the Company's operating expenses historically have been higher in the winter months due to decreased fuel efficiency and increased maintenance costs for revenue equipment in colder weather.
