(the Company) and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company conducts portions of its business through joint venture investments accounted for under the equity method. These equity affiliates are primarily engaged in the distribution of certain engine parts and aircraft rotable spares to worldwide aviation customers. These statements have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2000 has been derived from audited financial statements. To prepare the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations of the SEC. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management of the Company, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position of AAR CORP. and its subsidiaries as of August 31, 2000 and the condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Note B - Revenue Recognition - ---------------------------- Sales and related cost of sales are recognized primarily upon shipment of products and performance of services. Lease revenue is recognized as earned. In connection with certain long-term inventory management programs, the Company purchases factory new products on behalf of customers from original equipment manufacturers. These products are purchased from the manufacturer and "passed through" to the customer at the Company's cost. During the Company's third quarter of fiscal 2000, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 summarizing the SEC's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition. As a result of SAB No. 101, the Company believes that pass through sales should be included in sales and began reporting pass through sales on the consolidated income statement beginning with the third quarter of fiscal 2000 Form 10-Q. Prior to issuance of SAB No. 101, the Company believed that excluding pass through sales from sales was appropriate given the limited nature of the services provided for these transactions. 7 AAR CORP. and Subsidiaries Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2000 (Continued) (000s omitted) Note C - Inventory - ------------------ The following is a summary of inventories: August 31, May 31, 2000 2000 ---------- --------- Raw materials and parts $ 47,426 $ 50,452 Work-in-process 23,702 19,849 Purchased aircraft, parts, engines and components held for sale 204,100 205,516 -------- -------- $275,228 $275,817 ======== ======== Note D - Supplemental Cash Flows Information - -------------------------------------------- Supplemental information on cash flows: Three Months Ended August 31, -------------------------- 2000 1999 --------- --------- Interest paid $4,651 $4,016 Income taxes paid 906 2,375 Income tax refunds received 6,018 300 8 AAR CORP. and Subsidiaries Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2000 (Continued) (000s omitted) Note E - Common Stock and Earnings Per Share of Common Stock - ------------------------------------------------------------ The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus, when their effect is dilutive, incremental shares consisting of shares subject to stock options. The following table provides a reconciliation of the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share information for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2000 and 1999. Three Months Ended August 31, ----------------------- 2000 1999 ------ -------- Basic EPS Net income $ 3,159 $10,831 Weighted average common shares outstanding 26,859 27,394 ------- ------ Earnings per share - Basic $ 0.12 $ 0.40 ======= ====== Diluted EPS Net income $ 3,159 $10,831 Weighted average common shares outstanding 26,859 27,394 Additional shares due to hypothetical exercise of stock options 103 433 ------- ------ 26,962 27,827 ------- ------ Earnings per share - Diluted $ 0.12 $ 0.39 ======= ====== 9 PART I, ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AAR CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (000s omitted except percent data) Three-Month Period Ended August 31, 2000 - ---------------------------------------- (as compared with the same period of the prior year) The Company reports its activities in one business segment: Aviation Services. The table below sets forth consolidated sales for the Company's classes of similar products and services within this segment for the three month periods ended August 31, 2000 and 1999. Three Months Ended August 31, ------------------------- 2000 1999 -------- -------- Sales: Airframe and Accessories $104,209 $96,166 Aircraft and Engines 97,673 119,854 Manufacturing 23,006 29,889 -------- ------- 224,888 245,909 Pass Through Sales 16,882 20,774 -------- -------- $241,770 $266,683 ======== ======== Consolidated sales for the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending May 31, 2001, excluding pass through sales, decreased $21,021 or 8.5% over the same period in the prior year. Sales in Airframe and Accessories increased $8,043 or 8.4% during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 reflecting higher demand for the Company's aircraft maintenance and aircraft component overhaul services. Sales in Aircraft and Engines decreased $22,181 or 18.5% primarily as a result of lower revenue in the Company's aircraft sales business. Sales in Manufacturing decreased $6,883 or 23.0% reflecting lower sales of the Company's cargo handling systems and products supporting the U.S. Government's rapid deployment program. Pass through sales were $16,882, compared to $20,774 in the prior year. The reduction in pass through sales during the period is attributable to the maturing of the Company's existing long-term inventory programs, as well as lower engine inputs at certain customer maintenance facilities. Consolidated gross profit decreased $9,775 or 22.1% over the prior year period due to lower sales and a reduction in the consolidated gross profit margin. Excluding the impact from pass through sales, the gross profit margin was 15.3% in the current quarter, compared to 18.0% in the prior year quarter. This reduction in the gross profit margin was principally at the Company's engine parts, landing gear repair and general aviation parts distribution businesses. This decline was primarily attributable to pricing pressure on older technology engine parts, reduced demand from certain inventory management programs, deferred landing gear removals due to unusually heavy utilization during peak summer months and lower demand for general aviation parts. Operating income decreased $10,636 or 51.9% and net income decreased $7,672 or 70.8% over the prior year due primarily to the factors discussed above. 10 PART I, ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AAR CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES FINANCIAL CONDITION (000s omitted except ratios) At August 31, 2000 - ------------------ At August 31, 2000, the Company's liquidity and capital resources included cash of $669 and working capital of $341,996. At August 31, 2000, the Company's ratio of long-term debt to capitalization was 34.7%, unchanged from May 31, 2000, and the Company's total debt-to-capitalization ratio was 40.2% at August 31, 2000 compared to 37.8% at May 31, 2000. The Company continues to maintain its available external sources of financing including $131,489 of unused bank lines, a universal shelf registration on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission under which up to $200 million of common stock, preferred stock or medium - or long-term debt securities may be issued or sold subject to market conditions, and an accounts receivable securitization program where the Company may sell an interest in a defined pool of accounts receivable up to $35 million. Accounts receivable sold under this arrangement were $24,255 as of August 31, 2000. During the three-month period ended August 31, 2000, the Company used $7,743 of cash from operations principally reflecting the Company's investment in equipment on or available for lease. During the three-month period ended August 31, 2000, the Company's investing activities used $12,296 of cash, reflecting the investment of property, plant and equipment of $2,986, and additional investments made in certain of the Company's joint ventures. During the three-month period ended August 31, 2000, the Company's financing activities generated $19,485 reflecting proceeds from bank lines of $21,837, offset by the payment of cash dividends of $2,283. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents and available sources of financing will continue to provide the Company the ability to meet its ongoing working capital requirements, make anticipated capital expenditures, meet contractual commitments and pay dividends.* A summary of key indicators of financial condition and lines of credit follows: Description August 31, May 31, ----------- 2000 2000 ---------- -------- Working capital $341,996 $347,451 Current ratio 3.0:1 3.1:1 Bank credit lines: Short-term debt $ 47,722 $ 25,885 Available but unused lines 131,489 153,326 -------- -------- Total credit lines $179,211 $179,211 ======== ======== Long-term debt, less current maturities $180,367 $180,447 Ratio of long-term debt to capitalization 34.7% 34.7% Ratio of total debt to capitalization 40.2% 37.8% - --------------------------------- * See "Forward Looking Statements" section of this item. 11 PART I, ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AAR CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES FINANCIAL CONDITION (000s omitted except ratios) FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Part I, Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains certain statements relating to future results, which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are identified by an asterisk(*). These forward-looking statements are based on beliefs of Company management as well as assumptions and estimates based on information currently available to the Company, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated, depending on a variety of factors, including: ability to acquire inventory at favorable prices, integration of acquisitions, marketplace competition, economic and aviation/aerospace market stability and Company profitability. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize adversely, or should underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described. PART I, ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's exposure to market risk is limited to fluctuating interest rates under its unsecured bank credit agreements, and foreign exchange rates. During the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively, the Company did not utilize derivative financial instruments to offset these risks. A hypothetical 10 percent increase to the average interest rate under the Company's bank credit agreements and a hypothetical 10 percent devaluation of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar would not have had a material impact on the results of operations for the Company during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. 12 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION AAR CORP. and Subsidiaries August 31, 2000 Item 6.
