ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
OPERATING RESULTS
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 VERSUS QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1994
Loctite management primarily measures the results of the Company based on
businesses and regions. Trade sales between regions are reflected as sales of
the region servicing the customer.
Net sales for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1994 were
$196.8 million and $159.9 million, respectively. A summary (in millions) is as
follows:

10
Sales in the North American region increased by 8% in local currency and 6%
in U.S. dollars, in comparison to the first quarter of 1994. The retail
(consumer) business strong growth of 10% in local currency and 9% in U.S.
dollars was the result of increased promotional activity. In the industrial
business, volume increases in major product lines contributed to the growth of
9% in local currency and 7% in U.S. dollars. The automotive aftermarket
continued as a slower growth area in North America. The sale of a small
business, Loctite VSI, in 1994 had a slight effect on the quarterly results
comparison.
In the European region, local currency sales growth of 21% was enhanced to
33% in U.S. dollars as the exchange rate comparison continued to be favorable.
The five major countries (France, Italy, U.K., Germany, and Spain) reported an
average local sales growth of 17%. The Swedish distributor acquired in 1995 and
the 1994 acquisitions discussed in the 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K have
contributed to the sales growth in the first quarter of 1995. Sales in the
industrial market in the European region improved by 27% in local currencies and
42% in U.S. dollars as the Company began to benefit from a new structure and a
re-emphasis on market focus. Additionally, sales in the retail (consumer)
business grew by 21% in local currencies and 32% in U.S. dollars as a result of
expanded advertising and sales efforts.
The Asia/Pacific region's local currency sales gains of 22% were increased
to 32% in U.S. dollars primarily due to the strength of the Japanese yen in
relation to the U.S. dollar. All major countries (Japan, Australia, Korea,
Singapore, and Malaysia) registered double digit sales growth in both local
currency and U.S. dollars. Management's redirection of sales efforts contributed
to volume increases in major product lines in both the industrial and automotive
aftermarket business. This was the predominant factor in this region's sales
growth.
Latin American sales increased 49% in U.S. dollars compared to the first
quarter of 1994. All major countries (Brazil, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Colombia,
and Chile) reported double digit percentage growth. In Brazil, sales increases
were experienced in all three businesses as buyers continued to react positively
to the new Brazilian economic plan implemented during the second quarter of
1994. Significant volume increases were seen in major product lines throughout
the industrial, automotive aftermarket and retail (consumer) businesses.
Luminescent Systems' sales increased by 14% in U.S. dollars in comparison
to the first quarter of 1994. This increase is the result of rising sales of
aviation lighting and electrical components for the automotive industry.
Gross margin increased from 61.2% of sales in the first quarter of 1994 to
62.4% in the first quarter of 1995. The mix in sales by business and geographic
region is a contributing factor to this improvement. The improved margin
percentages in the European, Pacific, and Latin American regions were partially
offset by the decrease in the North American region.
Operating expenses as a percentage to sales were 45% in the first quarter
of 1995 and 44% in the first quarter of 1994. Of the total $18.1 million
increase, marketing expenses increased by $14.0 million or 29% to support the
increased sales volume, advertising campaigns principally in the U.K. and
France, and the 18% increase in the sales and marketing headcount.
Investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 was $0.9 million
lower than the respective prior year quarter due in large part to lower average
deposit levels in foreign locations.
Other income (expense) for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 improved by
$1.1 million in relation to the corresponding prior year quarter due largely to
the sale of a small operation, Canton Biomedical Division of Loctite VSI, Inc.,
which resulted in a $0.8 million pre-tax loss recorded during the first quarter
of 1994.
Foreign exchange loss improved by $2.1 million during the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 versus the comparable prior year quarter due primarily to the new
economic plan introduced in Brasil during the second quarter of 1994. The plan
has had the effect of dramatically reducing rates of inflation and currency
devaluation to approximately 2% per month during the first quarter of 1995
compared to rates of inflation and currency devaluation of approximately 40% per
month during the first quarter of 1994.
8
11
Income taxes, as a percentage of earnings before taxes, were 26% for the
three month period ended March 31, 1995 and 25% for the comparable period ended
March 31, 1994.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents from $33.3 at December 31, 1994
to 23.8 million at March 31, 1995 and the related increase in short-term debt
from $94.2 million at December 31, 1994 to $106.1 million at March 31, 1995 was
primarily due to cash outflow for dividends paid, additions to property, plant
and equipment, and acquisition of a Sweden distributor and installment payments
on previous acquisitions, partially offset by cash provided by operating
activities. For complete details of the change in cash and cash equivalents see
the financial statement titled "Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows."
Accounts and notes receivable increased by $19.1 million from December 31,
1994 to March 31, 1995. A portion of this increase is attributed to a $4.7
million foreign currency translation effect due to a comparatively weaker U.S.
dollar at March 31, 1995 versus December 31, 1994. The largest increases were
reported in Europe, resulting from increased sales activity.
Goodwill increased from $94.7 million at December 31, 1994 to $101.4
million at March 31, 1995 primarily due to the acquisition of a Swedish
distributor during the first quarter of 1995.
The improvement in the foreign currency translation adjustment in
stockholders' equity from a $8.6 million negative position at December 31, 1994
to a $2.0 million positive position at March 31, 1995, was due to the effect of
a comparatively weaker U.S. dollar on the Company's net asset position at March
31 in its foreign subsidiaries.
ACQUISITIONS
During the first quarter of 1995 the Company acquired certain assets from
its distributor in Sweden and merged this business with its Loctite Sweden AB
subsidiary. The cost of this acquisition was not material to the Company.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Continuing compliance with existing federal, state, and local provisions
dealing with protection of the environment is not expected to have a material
effect upon the Company's capital expenditures, earnings, and competitive
position. As previously reported in its 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the
Company has been investigating a soil and groundwater contamination problem at
its Newington, Connecticut facility which has probably resulted from the failure
of an underground storage tank and/or prior waste handling practices by Company
personnel, or by other prior or concurrent users of the site, and/or adjacent
sites. The tank, which formerly held chlorinated solvents, has been removed.
Consultants hired by the Company have been working closely with officials of the
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP") to identify the exact
source(s) of the contamination and its/their parameters. The Company spent
approximately $0.2 million in 1993 and approximately $0.5 million in 1994 in
continuing subsurface investigation and is nearing the completion of the
investigative phase of the work at this site. The Company expects to spend
approximately $0.9 million in 1995 to implement a site remediation plan
developed by the Company's environmental consultants and for additional
professional consulting services related thereto, including additional
investigative work, on-going operation and maintenance of equipment, and initial
monitoring costs.
The DEP, in consultation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, has
recently determined that the remediation program is not subject to federal
jurisdiction as a hazardous waste storage facility under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act. Therefore, the remediation program will be
implemented with the oversight of the DEP. Given this program, the Company
believes that the aforementioned costs are reasonable and that after 1995
expenditures will be in the range of $0.1 million per year for an indefinite
period to operate and maintain site remediation equipment. The Company does not
presently anticipate any further expenditures in connection with site
remediation beyond those mentioned above.
