The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 are unaudited; in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, and do not contain certain information included in the Company's annual financial statements and notes. 2. Net income per common share is based on the average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The Company purchases outstanding shares for reissuance under its employees' stock purchase and stock option plans and for other corporate purposes. It has authorization to continue such purchases, provided the number of outstanding shares is not reduced below 75,000,000 shares. 3. Effective January 1, 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." As a result, the carrying value of the Company's marketable securities was reduced to reflect market value. The Company classifies all marketable securities as available for sale. Accordingly, the reduction of $1,334,000 as of March 31, 1994 is recorded as a component of shareholders' equity. 4. Effective January 1, 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." SFAS 112 requires the Company to accrue the estimated cost of post employment benefit payments during the years in which employees provide services. The adoption of SFAS 112 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 5 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1993 Net sales were $430.0 million for the first quarter of 1994, up 6.0% over the first quarter of 1993, when sales were $405.7 million. The first quarter Payments Systems segment's revenue decreased 5.4% from first quarter 1993 reflecting a 4% decline in check-orders from financial institutions (FIs) and continued price competition in the FI market. The decline in revenue from financial institution check printing was partially offset by an 18.0% increase in revenue from the Company's electronic payment systems subsidiaries. Deluxe's Business Systems segment posted a 40.3% increase in revenue in the first quarter of 1994 over first quarter 1993 primarily due to the contribution of PaperDirect, Inc., which the Company acquired in the third quarter of 1993. Revenue for the Consumer Specialty Products segment increased 21.8% as a result of Current's strong sales in its social expressions and direct mail check printing product lines. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $30.8 million or 26.2% in first quarter 1994 over first quarter 1993. The Business Systems segment's expenses increased approximately $14.5 million primarily due to the acquisition of Paper Direct, Inc. Also, the Consumer Specialty Products segment increased spending on advertising by approximately $8.5 million. Net income was $38.0 million in the first quarter of 1994, or 8.9% of sales, compared to $51.8 million in 1993 or 12.8% of sales. The Company's effective tax rate for first quarter 1994 increased to 41.3% compared to 36.6% in first quarter 1993. The increase was the result of changes in the federal tax laws (including an increase in the statutory tax rate to 35% in August 1993), an increase in the Company's non deductible amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions and the adoption of SFAS 109 during the first quarter of 1993, which reduced the provision for income taxes for that quarter. FINANCIAL CONDITION - LIQUIDITY Cash provided by operations was $39.0 million for the first quarter of 1994, compared with $67.6 million one year ago. This represents the Company's primary source of working capital for financing capital expenditures, acquisitions, and paying cash dividends. The decline in 1994 is primarily the result of lower net income and cash payments related to the 1993 restructuring of the Company's financial institution check printing operations. The Company's working capital on March 31, 1994 was $226.0 million, compared to $224.5 million, on December 31, 1993. The current ratio was 1.9 to 1 on March 31, 1994 and 1.8 to 1 on December 31, 1993. FINANCIAL CONDITION - CAPITAL RESOURCES Purchases of property, plant, and equipment totaled $20.1 million for the first quarter of 1994, compared to $20.5 million one year ago. The Company anticipates total capital expenditures of approximately $75 million in 1994 for new electronic payment system investments and further enhancements to printing capabilities. In February 1991, the Company issued $100 million in notes payable under its 1989 registration of $150 million in debt securities. In addition, the Company has unsecured bank lines of credit of $35 million should current cash resources and cash provided by operations prove to be inadequate. Cash dividends totaled $29.8 million in the first quarter of 1994 compared to $29.3 million in the first quarter of 1993. 6 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
