Description of Business and Basis of Presentation - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TESSCO Technologies Incorporated, a Delaware Corporation (the Company) is a leading provider of the services, products and solutions required to build, operate, maintain and use wireless voice, data, messaging, tracking and Internet systems. The Company provides marketing and sales services, knowledge and supply chain management, product-solution delivery, and control systems utilizing extensive Internet and information technology. Approximately 95% of the Company's sales are made to customers in the United States. Although the Company conducts business selling various products to different customer groups, these products and customers all fall within the telecommunications industry; therefore, the Company reports operating results as one reportable segment. In management's opinion, the accompanying interim financial statements of the Company include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position for the interim periods presented. These statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's annual financial statements have been omitted from these statements, as permitted under the applicable rules and regulations. The results of operations presented in the accompanying interim financial statements are not necessarily representative of operations for an entire year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2001. Note 2. Earnings Per Share - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings per Share." SFAS No. 128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share previously found in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 15 "Earnings per Share" by replacing the presentation of primary earnings per share (EPS) with basic EPS and replacing fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares and the dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding for the period. The dilutive effect of all options outstanding has been determined by using the treasury stock method. The weighted average shares outstanding is calculated as follows: <Table> <Caption> - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Fiscal Quarters Ended July 1, June 25, 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 4,499,100 4,488,600 Effect of dilutive common equivalent shares 9,000 148,600 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 4,508,100 4,637,200 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- </Table> 6 <Page> Options to purchase 936,495 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $22.36 per share were outstanding as of July 1, 2001, but the common equivalent shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect of including such shares would be antidilutive. Note 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - -------------------------------------------------------------------- In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" (effective July 1, 2001) and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (effective for the Company on January 1, 2002). SFAS No. 141 prohibits pooling-of-interests accounting for acquisitions. SFAS No. 142 specifies that goodwill and some intangible assets will no longer be amortized but instead will be subject to periodic impairment testing. The Company is in the process of evaluating the financial statement impact of adoption of SFAS No. 142. 7 <Page> ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This commentary should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations from the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2001. First Quarter of Fiscal 2002 Compared to First Quarter of Fiscal 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues decreased by $2.6 million, or 4.2%, to $59.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $62.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Revenues from test and maintenance equipment, as well as subscriber accessory increased, but were offset by a decrease in base site infrastructure products. Base site infrastructure, subscriber accessory, and test and maintenance products and services accounted for approximately 45%, 33% and 22%, respectively, of revenues during the first quarter of fiscal 2002, as compared to 54%, 30% and 16%, respectively, of revenues during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company experienced revenue growth in its reseller, international and consumer market categories, offset by a decrease in its systems operators categories. System operators, resellers, consumer services and international users accounted for approximately 52%, 36%, 7% and 5%, respectively, of revenues during the first quarter of fiscal 2002, compared to 61%, 29%, 4% and 6%, respectively, of revenues during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Gross profit decreased by $640,900, or 3.8%, to $16.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $16.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 due to decreased revenues. The gross profit margin increased to 27.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to 26.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The increase in gross profit margin was principally attributable to a change in product mix, partially offset by increases in inventory reserve levels. The Company accounts for inventory at the lower of cost or market and as a result, write-offs/reserves occur due to damage, deterioration, obsolescence, changes in prices and other causes. Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.5 million, or 10.9%, to $15.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $13.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The increase in these expenses is primarily attributable to continued investment in personnel as well as increased depreciation and amortization related to information system enhancements. The Company continually evaluates the credit worthiness of its existing customer receivable portfolio and provides an appropriate reserve based on this evaluation. Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenues to 25.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 from 22.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Income from operations decreased by $2.1 million, or 70.1%, to $914,200 for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $3.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The operating income margin decreased to 1.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to 4.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Net interest and other expense decreased by $24,700, or 5.1%, to $457,300 for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $482,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. This decrease is due to lower interest rates and a reduction in borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facility. Income before provision for income taxes decreased $2.1 million or 82.2%, to $456,900 for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $2.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The effective tax rate for both quarters was 38%. Net income and earnings per share (diluted) for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased 82.2% and 82.4%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2001. 8 <Page> Liquidity and Capital Resources - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $915,600 for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in accounts payable, a smaller increase in accounts receivable compared to fiscal 2001, and a decrease in inventory, partially offset by a decrease in net income. Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $813,500 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $1.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Net cash used by financing activities was $5.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $464,900 for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. This change is primarily the result of increased repayments of the Company's revolving line of credit during the first three months of fiscal 2002 compared to the first three months of fiscal 2001. Forward-Looking Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This report contains a number of forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, all of which are based on current expectations. These forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of the words "may," "will," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," and similar expressions. The Company's future results of operations and other forward-looking statements contained in this report involve a number of risks and uncertainties. For a variety of reasons, actual results may differ materially from those described in any such forward-looking statement. Such factors include but are not limited to, the following: the Company's dependence on a relatively small number of suppliers and vendors, which could hamper the Company's ability to maintain appropriate inventory levels and meet customer demand; the effect that the loss of certain customers or vendors could have on the Company's net profits; the possibility that unforeseen events could impair the Company's ability to service its customers promptly and efficiently, if at all; the possibility that, for unforeseen reasons, the Company may be delayed in entering into or performing, or may fail to enter into or perform, anticipated contracts or may otherwise be delayed in realizing or fail to realize anticipated revenues or anticipated savings; existing competition from national and regional distributors and the absence of significant barriers to entry which could result in pricing and other pressures on profitability and market share; and continuing changes in the wireless communications industry, including risks associated with conflicting technologies, changes in technologies, inventory obsolescence and evolving Internet business models and the resulting competition. Consequently, the reader is cautioned to consider all forward-looking statements in light of the risk to which they are subject.
