PART 1: FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The Company, and other major U.S. titanium producers reported second quarter
results which indicated, that consistent with the Company's observations,
industry sales are increasing and operating results are continuing to improve
from those reported in the prior quarter. The quarter ended June 30, 1995,
represented the Company's sixth consecutive quarter of increasing sales and
improving operating results. The Company reported net earnings of $.5
million for the second quarter of 1995.
The Company's net sales and twelve-month sales order backlog (sales backlog)
continued to grow at a brisk pace. Net sales in the second quarter of 1995
increased 14% to $35.1 million, compared to $30.8 million for the first
quarter of 1995. The sales backlog was $64 million on June 30, 1995, an
increase of 33% over the March 31, 1995 sales backlog of $48 million.
The twelve-month sales order backlog reflects recent customer order placement
but may not be an accurate indicator of annual or quarterly sales volume.
Orders from the recreation market accounted for a substantial portion of the
increase in the backlog while the commercial aerospace market continues to
display signs of increased activity. Demand for military aerospace
applications continues to be weak; however, the military sector appears to
have a growing interest in utilizing titanium for armor. Additionally, the
decline in value of the U.S. dollar compared to Asian and European currencies
has aided the Company's expansion into international markets.
During the second quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a charge to earnings
of approximately $820,000, net of taxes, or $0.07 per share, to reflect the
impact of higher than anticipated material and conversion costs relating to
certain fixed price long-term sales contracts. The difficulties
encountered in achieving increased operating levels coupled with a larger
number and complexity of end products accounted for a significant portion of
this charge to earnings.
The strong increase in demand for titanium products has begun to strain the
capacity of our industry. The Company, as well as other major titanium
producers, has been quoting ever extending delivery dates. We are exploring
a wide range of possibilities in order to enhance our ability to respond to
present market conditions.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1994:
SALES:
Net sales were $35.1 million for the second quarter of 1995, an increase of
142% over the second quarter of 1994 sales of $14.5 million. The Company's
majority owned subsidiary, Titanium Industries, Inc. (TI) reported net sales
of $13.6 million for the second quarter of 1995. TI was acquired by the
Company in September 1994.
TITANIUM SPONGE:
Sales of titanium sponge increased 31% for the second quarter of 1995
compared to the second quarter of 1994. Sponge shipments decreased 3% and
average sponge price per pound increased 34%. The increase in the average
price per pound of 34% is attributable to sales of our high purity sponge
which the Company has recently started producing in limited quantities. Sales
of titanium sponge are below historical averages due to competition from
lower-priced material which has been available from producers in the Former
Soviet Union (FSU). The present ability of titanium producers in the FSU to
be reliable long-term suppliers of titanium sponge is uncertain. During the
first half of 1995, the Company's integrated sponge facility operated at a
significant level of capacity, primarily supplying the Company's internal
demand for titanium sponge and sales to RMI Titanium Company under our
long-term titanium sponge supply agreement.
INGOT:
Sales of ingot increased 31% for the second quarter of 1995 compared to the
second quarter of 1994. Ingot shipments increased 19% and average ingot
price per pound increased 11% from the comparable period in 1994.
MILL PRODUCTS:
The Oremet Titanium Division of the Company directly produces or contracts
for outside production a variety of mill products, including billet, bar,
plate, sheet and engineered parts. Oremet Titanium Division mill product
sales increased 110% for the second quarter of 1995 compared to the second
quarter of 1994. Shipments of mill products increased 94% and the average
price per pound increased 8%.
TI markets a wide variety of mill products including engineered parts,
manufactured by various producers. TI reported sales for the second quarter
of 1995 of $13.6 million. Since the acquisition, both shipments and pricing
for TI's products have trended upward.
CASTINGS:
Sales of castings increased 8% for the first quarter of 1995 compared to the
first quarter of 1994.
COST OF SALES:
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased for the second quarter
of 1995 to 85% from 95% for the comparable period in 1994. The positive
change is due to both increases in volume and pricing of products sold. As a
result, gross profit increased $4.6 million to $5.3 million for the second
quarter of 1995 from $.7 million for the comparable period in 1994. Cost of
sales for the second quarter of 1995 includes a charge of approximately $1.3
million, reflecting the impact of higher than anticipated material and
conversion costs on certain fixed price long-term sales contracts.
Difficulties encountered in achieving increased operating levels coupled with
a larger number and complexity of end products accounts for a significant
portion of this charge.
RESEARCH, TECHNICAL AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES:
Research, technical and product development expenses (RT&D) decreased 22% for
the second quarter of 1995 to $.4 million from $.5 million in the comparable
quarter of 1994. Overall costs for this department have decreased due to the
nature of the mix of research and development projects.
The department's salaries and related costs have increased compared to the
second quarter of 1994, reflecting an increase in technical personnel which
is designed to support the Company's long-term commitment towards research
and the development of new products and improvements in operating processes.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:
Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) increased 210% for the
second quarter of 1995 to $3.5 million from $1.1 million in the comparable
quarter of 1994. The acquisition of Titanium Industries, Inc. is the primary
reason for the increase in SG&A.
INTEREST INCOME:
For the second quarter of 1994, the Company reported interest income of $.1
million, derived from earnings on short-term investments and the ESOP note
receivable. The Company liquidated its portfolio of short-term investments
in the third quarter of 1994 and the ESOP note receivable matured in December
1994. The Company expects that interest income for 1995 and the foreseeable
future should be negligible.
INTEREST EXPENSE:
Interest expense increased to $.5 million in the second quarter of 1995
compared to $.1 million in the comparable quarter of 1994. The increase in
interest expense is the direct result of an increase in borrowings related to
the purchase of TI and working capital needed for the increased operating
levels.
MINORITY INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARY:
The amounts reported as minority interest in subsidiary removes the minority
shareholder's 20% interest in the net income of TI from the Company's
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES:
The Company reported a provision for income taxes of $.4 million (effective
tax rate of 39%) for the second quarter of 1995 compared to a tax benefit of
$.3 million, or an effective tax rate of 34% for the comparable period in
1994.
NET INCOME:
The Company reported net income of $.5 million ($0.04 per share) for the
second quarter of 1995 compared to a net loss of $.6 million ($.06 per share)
for the comparable period in 1994.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994:
SALES:
Net sales were $66.0 million for the first six months of 1995, an increase of
137% over sales of $27.8 million for the comparable period of 1994. The
Company's majority owned subsidiary, Titanium Industries, Inc. (TI) reported
net sales of $26.7 million for the first half of 1995. TI was acquired by the
Company in September 1994.
TITANIUM SPONGE:
Sales of titanium sponge decreased 22% for the first six months of 1995
compared to the comparable period of 1994. Sponge shipments decreased 31%
and average sponge price per pound increased 14%. The increase in the
average price per pound of 14% is attributable to sales of our high purity
sponge which the Company has recently started producing in limited
quantities. During the first half of 1995, the Company's integrated sponge
facility operated at a significant level of capacity, primarily supplying the
Company's internal demand for titanium sponge and sales to RMI Titanium
Company under our long-term titanium sponge supply agreement.
INGOT:
Sales of ingot increased 35% for the first half of 1995 compared to the
comparable period of 1994. Ingot shipments increased 22% and average ingot
price per pound increased 10% from the comparable period in 1994.
MILL PRODUCTS:
The Oremet Titanium Division of the Company directly produces or contracts
for outside production a variety of mill products, including billet, bar,
plate, sheet and engineered parts. Oremet Titanium Division mill product
sales increased 116% for the first half of 1995 compared to the comparable
period of 1994. Shipments of mill products increased 113% and there was no
change to the average price per pound.
TI markets a wide variety of mill products including engineered parts,
manufactured by various producers. TI reported sales for the six month
period of $26.7 million. Since the acquisition, both shipments and pricing
for TI's products have trended upward.
CASTINGS:
Sales of castings increased 20% for the first half of 1995 compared to the
comparable period of 1994.
COST OF SALES:
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased for the first six months
of 1995 to 84% from 97% for the comparable period in 1994. The positive
change is due to both increases in volume and pricing of products sold. As a
result, gross profit increased $9.9 million to $10.6 million for the first
six months of 1995 from $.7 million for the comparable period in 1994. Cost
of sales for the first six months of 1995 include a charge of
approximately $1.3 million, reflecting the impact of higher than anticipated
material and conversion costs on certain fixed price long-term sales
contracts. Difficulties encountered in achieving increased operating levels
coupled with a larger number and complexity of end products accounts for a
significant portion of this charge.
RESEARCH, TECHNICAL AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES:
Research, technical and product development (RT&D) expenses increased 6% for
the first half of 1995 to $.7 million. The cost of RT&D's research and
development projects has decreased during the first six months of 1994
compared to the comparable period of 1995 due to the nature and mix of the
department's projects. RT&D's salaries and related costs have increased
compared to the first half of 1994, reflecting an increase in technical
personnel which is designed to support the Company's long-term commitment
towards research and the development of new products and improvements in
operating processes.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased 158% for the
first six months of 1995 to $6.9 million from $2.7 million in the comparable
period of 1994. The acquisition of Titanium Industries, Inc. is the primary
reason for the increase in SG&A.
INTEREST INCOME:
For the first six months of 1994, the Company reported interest income of $.2
million, derived from earnings on short-term investments and the ESOP note
receivable. The Company liquidated its portfolio of short-term investments
in the third quarter of 1994 and the ESOP note receivable matured in December
1994. The Company expects that interest income for 1995 and the foreseeable
future should be negligible.
INTEREST EXPENSE:
Interest expense increased to $1.0 million in the first six months of 1995
compared to $.2 million in the comparable period of 1994. The increase in
interest expense is the direct result of an increase in borrowings related to
the purchase of TI and working capital needed for the increased operating
levels.
MINORITY INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARY:
The amounts reported as minority interest in subsidiary removes the minority
shareholder's 20% interest in the net income of TI from the Company's
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES:
The Company reported a provision for income taxes of $.7 million (effective
tax rate of 37%) for the first six months of 1995 compared to a tax benefit
of $.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 34% for the comparable period in
1994.
NET INCOME:
The Company reported net income of $1.0 million ($0.09 per share) for the
first six months of 1995 compared to a net loss of $1.7 million ($.16 per
share) for the comparable period in 1994.
NON-U.S. OPERATIONS AND MONETARY ASSETS
The Company has two foreign subsidiaries which operate titanium service and
distribution centers located in the United Kingdom and France. Approximately
13% of the Company's revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995
were derived from the Company's European operations. The Company acquired
the service center in the United Kingdom in September 1994, and established
the service center in France in the second quarter of 1994. The service
center in France became operational in January 1995.
Changes in the value of non-U.S. currencies relative to the U.S. dollar cause
fluctuations in U.S. dollar financial position and operating results. The
impact of currency fluctuations, while slightly unfavorable for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1995, were not significant.
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency
transactions for inventory purchases and product sales on a continuing basis
for periods consistent with its committed exposures. Hedging minimizes the
impact of foreign exchange rate movements on the Company's operating results.
The Company's foreign exchange contracts do not subject the Company's
results of operations to risk due to exchange rate movements because gains
and losses on these contracts offset losses and gains on the assets and
liabilities being hedged.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
OVERVIEW
Cash flows used in operating activities totaled $5.8 million for the
first-half of 1995 compared with $.2 million provided by operating activities
in the comparable period of 1994. The net cash flow decrease between the two
periods of $6 million is the result of a significant increase in working
capital to support the Company's higher shipment and production levels. The
decrease in the amount of cash flow provided by operating activities is a
trend which began in the second quarter of 1994, the timing of this trend is
consistent with the Company's experience of increasing sales, sales order
backlog and production activity.
Inventories increased $10.0 million, or 20%, to $59.1 million at June 30,
1995, compared to $49.0 million as of December 31, 1994. The increase is in
support of higher production levels in addition to an increase in finished
goods inventory of $2.5 million. In response to a growing sales backlog,
the Company is continuing to raise its production levels. The Company is also
experiencing higher raw material and conversion costs which, combined, have
increased the value of inventory the Company has on hand.
Accounts receivable increased $6.1 million, or 30%, to $26.6 million at June
30, 1995, compared to $20.0 million as of December 31, 1994. The increase in
accounts receivable is consistent with the Company's increase in sales volume.
Accounts payable and other current liabilities increased $5.9 million, or
25%, to $29.8 million at June 30, 1995, compared to $23.9 million as of
December 31, 1994. The increase in current liabilities is a result of the
Company's higher production levels.
The Company's investing activities used $1.2 million of cash in the first
half of 1995. Additions to properties totaled $.7 million. The Company also
made an investment of $.3 million in a start-up company, which will perform
sonic testing on behalf of the Company and its other two investors. During
the first-half of 1994, investing activities generated $1.1 million in cash,
principally from the net redemption of short-term investments which were
liquidated to meet the operating requirements of the Company.
The Company's financing activities for the first-half of 1995 principally
consisted of net borrowings on its revolving credit agreements of $5.8
million. The net borrowings were used to fund the Company's increased levels
of operations. For the first six months of 1994, the Company's financing
activities used $.6 million in cash comprised of payments on the Company's
long-term debt net of reductions in the note receivable from the ESOP.
WORKING CAPITAL:
Working capital increased $8.4 million to $57.5 million as of June 30, 1995,
compared to $49.1 million as of December 31, 1994. The growth in working
capital is principally attributable to increases in accounts receivable and
inventories during the first six months of 1995. The increase in working
capital was partially funded by a $5.4 million increase in the note
payable to bank which is reported as a long-term liability on the Company's
consolidated balance sheet.
CREDIT AGREEMENT (NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK):
The Company may borrow up to $25 million under the terms of a revolving
credit agreement with BankAmerica Business Credit, Inc. (BABC) which was
amended as of June 30, 1995. The credit agreement expires in September 1997.
The balance outstanding under the credit agreement as of June 30, 1995 is
$17.9 million.
As of June 30, 1995, interest charged under the credit agreement is at BABC's
reference rate (8.75%) plus 1%. The terms of the credit facility provide for
a LIBOR based borrowing option which the Company has exercised.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES:
The Company has no material open commitments which obligate it to make future
capital expenditures. The Company's capital plan anticipates that 1995
capital expenditures may approximate $3 million. The Company's capital
expenditures will be funded by a combination of internally generated cash and
external financings.
The Company's recent capital expenditure history is as follows
(dollars in millions):

----------- ---------------
1995 1994 1994 1993 1992
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Additions to Properties $0.7 $0.2 $1.9 $1.2 $4.4
The Company's revolving credit facility with BankAmerica Business Credit,
Inc. provides that capital expenditures may not exceed $5 million for any
fiscal year.
ADEQUACY OF LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company's access to borrowing facilities, internally generated cash and
to capital markets are expected to be sufficient to provide the resources
necessary to support increased operating needs and to finance continued
growth, capital expenditures and repayment of long-term debt obligations.
