HUTCHINSON TECHNOLOGY INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED
(Dollars in thousands)
(1) ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished in the
condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring
adjustments and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest
Annual Report on Form 10-K. The quarterly results are not necessarily
indicative of the actual results that may occur for the entire fiscal year.
(2) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
During March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per Share",
which requires the disclosure of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings
per share. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 128 in fiscal 1998 and anticipates
it will not have an impact on previously reported earnings per share.
(3) BUSINESS AND CUSTOMERS
The Company is the world's leading supplier of suspension assemblies for rigid
disk drives. Suspension assemblies hold the recording heads in position above
the spinning magnetic disks in the drive and are critical to maintaining the
necessary microscopic clearance between the head and disk. The Company
developed its leadership position in suspension assemblies through research,
development and design activities coupled with a substantial investment in
manufacturing technologies and equipment. The Company is focused on continuing
to develop suspension assemblies which address the rapidly changing requirements
of the rigid disk drive industry. The Company also is evaluating other product
opportunities in the medical devices market but does not expect any
medical-related revenues in fiscal 1997. A breakdown of customer sales is as
follows:

HUTCHINSON TECHNOLOGY INCORPORATED
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 29, 1997 VS. THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 23, 1996.
Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1997 were $121,713,000, an
increase of $30,295,000 or 33% compared to the comparable period in fiscal 1996.
This increase was primarily due to increased suspension assembly volume.
Gross profit for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1997 was $33,179,000, an
increase of $11,393,000 or 52% compared to the comparable period in fiscal 1996,
and gross profit as a percent of net sales increased from 24% to 27%, primarily
due to higher sales volume and improved manufacturing efficiencies.
Research and development expenses for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1997
were $4,671,000 compared to $6,239,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 23,
1996. The prior year amount includes manufacturing expenses related to
production of TSA-TM- prototype suspensions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the thirteen weeks ended June
29, 1997 were $11,955,000, an increase of $3,286,000 or 38% compared to the
comparable period in fiscal 1996. The majority of the increase was due to
increased profit sharing and other incentive compensation costs of $1,911,000
and an increase in labor expenses of $599,000. As a percent of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 9% to 10%.
Other income for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1997 was $1,759,000, an
increase of $1,492,000, primarily due to an increase in interest income as a
result of a higher average investment balance.
Interest expense for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1997 was $759,000, an
increase of $277,000 from the comparable period in fiscal 1996, primarily due to
higher average outstanding debt, offset partially by higher capitalization of
interest of $604,000.
The income tax provision for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1997 was based on
an estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year of 22% which was below the
statutory federal rate primarily due to the large portion of sales that
qualifies for the benefit of the Company's Foreign Sales Corporation.
Net income for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1997 was $13,698,000, an
increase of $8,499,000 compared to the comparable period in fiscal 1996. As a
percent of net sales, net income increased from 6% to 11% primarily due to the
higher sales volume and improved manufacturing efficiencies, noted above.
THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED JUNE 29, 1997 VS. THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED JUNE 23, 1996.
Net sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 29, 1997 were $352,878,000, an
increase of $91,582,000 or 35% compared to the comparable period in fiscal 1996.
This increase was primarily due to increased suspension assembly volume.
Gross profit for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 29, 1997 was $102,971,000, an
increase of $41,862,000 or 69% compared to the comparable period in fiscal 1996,
and gross profit as a percent of
net sales increased from 23% to 29%, primarily due to higher sales volume and
improved manufacturing efficiencies.
Research and development expenses for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 29, 1997
were $15,157,000 compared to $19,042,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended June
23, 1996. The expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 included a
$5,500,000 charge related to a technology sharing agreement with IBM. Excluding
the charge, research and development expenses increased mainly due to increased
development efforts on TSA-TM- suspensions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the thirty-nine weeks ended
June 29, 1997 were $34,921,000, an increase of $9,152,000 or 36% compared to the
comparable period in fiscal 1996. The increased expenses were due primarily to
increased profit sharing and other incentive compensation costs of $6,800,000
and a $1,631,000 increase in labor expenses. As a percent of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses remained at 10%.
Other income for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 29, 1997 was $2,926,000, an
increase of $1,970,000. The increase was primarily due to an increase of
$2,638,000 in interest income as a result of a higher average investment balance
offset partially by a $565,000 increase in royalties paid under licensing
agreements.
Interest expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 29, 1997 was $2,626,000,
an increase of $1,257,000 from the comparable period in fiscal 1996, primarily
due to higher average outstanding debt, offset partially by higher
capitalization of interest of $1,091,000.
The income tax provision for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 29, 1997 was based
on an estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year of 22% which was below
the statutory federal rate primarily due to the large portion of sales that
qualifies for the benefit of the Company's Foreign Sales Corporation.
Net income for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 29, 1997 was $41,498,000, an
increase of $29,105,000 compared to the comparable period in fiscal 1996. As a
percent of net sales, net income increased from 5% to 12% primarily due to the
higher sales volume and improved manufacturing efficiencies, noted above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, cash
balances and additional financing capacity. The Company's cash and cash
equivalents increased to $120,249,000 at June 29, 1997 compared to $22,884,000
at September 29, 1996. The increase is primarily a result of the stock offering
noted below. The Company generated cash from operating activities of
$64,593,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 29, 1997.
In February 1997, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock
through a public offering. The Company received net proceeds of $102,900,000
and is using the funds for general corporate purposes, primarily expenditures
for manufacturing and support equipment and construction of the Company's
photoetch plant at its Eau Claire, Wisconsin site. Pending such uses, the
Company has invested the net proceeds from the offering in short-term debt
securities.
Cash used for capital expenditures totaled $51,588,000 for the thirty-nine weeks
ended June 29, 1997, a decrease of $5,210,000 from the comparable period in
fiscal 1996. The expenditures for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 29, 1997
were primarily for manufacturing and support equipment and construction costs of
the photoetch plant at the Company's Eau Claire site. The Company anticipates,
but is not contractually committed to, fiscal 1997 expenditures of approximately
$90,000,000 primarily for manufacturing and support equipment and construction
of the Company's Eau Claire photoetch plant. Financing of these capital
expenditures will be principally from cash generated from operations, cash and
cash equivalents and additional financing capacity. The Company anticipates
financing a new Sioux Falls, South Dakota assembly plant through a lease
transaction and internal financing.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company completed a $50,000,000
private debt placement, of which $25,000,000 was issued in July 1996 as senior
unsecured notes having a fixed rate of 7.85%, annual principal payments of
$8,333,000 beginning on July 26, 2001 and maturing in July 2003. The Company
issued the remaining $25,000,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as a
senior unsecured note having a fixed rate of 8.07%, annual principal payments of
$4,167,000 beginning on November 26, 2001 and maturing in November 2006.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company signed a Master Lease
Agreement for up to $25,000,000 with General Electric Capital Corporation. The
agreement provides for leasing of various manufacturing equipment in fiscal 1997
for a noncancellable term of four years with various alternatives at the end of
the lease term.
The Company established a $25,000,000 unsecured credit facility with The First
National Bank of Chicago during the first quarter of fiscal 1996. At June 29,
1997, the Company had a letter of credit under this facility of $1,425,000 as
security for its variable rate demand note with the City of Hutchinson.
The Company's financing agreements contain various restrictive covenants. As of
June 29, 1997, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations, cash and cash
equivalents, existing lending facilities and available financing capacity will
be sufficient to meet the Company's current and long-term liquidity, debt
installments and capital requirements.
During March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per Share",
which requires the disclosure of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings
per share. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 128 in fiscal 1998 and anticipates
it will not have an impact on previously reported earnings per share.
MARKET TRENDS AND CERTAIN CONTINGENCIES
The Company expects that the expanding use of personal computers and network
servers, increasingly complex software and the emergence of new applications for
disk storage that have contributed to the historical year-to-year increases in
disk drive production will continue for the foreseeable future. The Company
also believes demand for disk drives will continue to be subject, as it has in
the past, to rapid short-term changes resulting from, among other things,
changes in disk drive inventory levels, responses to competitive price changes
and unpredicted high or low market acceptance of new drive models.
As in past years, disk drives continue to be the storage device of choice for
applications requiring low access times and higher capacities because of their
speed and low cost per megabyte of stored data. The cost of storing data on
disk drives continues to decrease primarily due to increasing areal density, the
amount of data which can be stored on magnetic disks. Improvements in areal
density have been attained by lowering the fly height of the read/write head,
using smaller read/write heads and using new read/write head types such as those
of magneto-resistive (MR) design. The move to MR heads, which require more
electrical leads, and the transition to smaller or pico-sized heads, may compel
drive manufacturers to use newer suspension technologies, such as the Company's
TSA-TM- suspensions. Although customer demand for TSA-TM- suspensions is
growing, the Company expects that conventional suspensions will make up a
majority of its shipments for the next couple of years.
The introduction of new types or sizes of read/write heads and new disk drive
designs tends to decrease customers' yields with the result that the Company may
experience temporary elevations of demand for some types of suspension
assemblies. The advent of new heads and new drive designs may require the
Company to rapidly develop and manufacture new suspension types which
temporarily may reduce the Company's manufacturing yields and efficiencies.
There can be no assurance that such changes will not continue to affect the
Company.
The Company generally experiences declining selling prices due to product
maturity and competitive pricing pressures. These forces may be temporarily
offset when the Company's new products, having initially higher selling prices,
enter the market.
The statements above under the heading "Market Trends and Certain Contingencies"
about demand for disk drives and suspension assemblies, including TSA-TM-
suspensions, manufacturing yields and selling prices, and the statements under
the heading "Liquidity and Capital Resources" about anticipated capital
expenditures and capital resources, are forward-looking statements based on
current expectations. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties,
including slower or faster acceptance of its new products, difficulties in
producing its TSA-TM- suspensions, difficulties in expanding capacity and those
discussed above. These factors may cause the Company's actual future results to
differ materially from historical earnings and from the financial performance of
the Company presently anticipated.
The Company and certain users of the Company's products have from time to time
received, and may in the future receive, communications from third parties
asserting patents against the Company or its customers which may relate to
certain of the Company's manufacturing equipment or products or to products
which include the Company's products as a component. Although the Company has
not been a party to any material intellectual property litigation, certain of
its customers have been sued on patents having claims closely related to
products sold by the Company. In the event any third party were to make a valid
infringement claim and a license were not available on terms acceptable to the
Company, the Company's operating results could be adversely affected. The
Company expects that, as the number of patents issued continues to increase, and
as the Company grows, the volume of intellectual property claims could increase.
The Company is party to certain other claims arising in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such claims will not
materially affect the Company's current or future financial position or results
of operations.
