MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
13 Weeks Ended January 29, 1995 -
13 Weeks Ended January 30, 1994
Sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 increased $25.5 million, or 5.9%, from
the same quarter a year ago. The increase resulted primarily from a 17.1%
increase in sales tonnage offset by a 10.3% decrease in unit selling prices due
to sharply lower live hog costs. The increase in sales tonnage was primarily
the result of a 19.2% increase in fresh pork tonnage combined with a 12.7%
increase in processed meats tonnage.
Cost of sales increased $2.8 million, or 0.8%, in the third quarter of
fiscal 1995, reflecting increased sales tonnage offset by decreased raw material
costs due to significantly lower live hog prices. Gross profit (sales less cost
of sales) in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 increased by $22.7 million, or
34.6%, compared to the same quarter of fiscal 1994. This increase in gross
profit resulted from higher margins on increased sales tonnage of both fresh
pork and processed meats. Gross profit was adversely impacted by operating
losses at Brown's of Carolina, Inc. ("Brown's") and Smithfield-Carroll's, the
Registrant's hog production operations.
The start-up costs associated with the commencement of operations in the
new 130,000 square foot conversion room at the Bladen County plant, which
substantially increased the Company's capacity to produce value-added boneless
fresh pork cuts, also adversely impacted the quarter's results. Moreover, the
Company expects the on-going costs of getting this operation to maximum
productive capacity to be substantial for the next several quarters. In
addition, the Company has made several major modifications to the Bladen County
plant that will allow it to shift to cryovac packaging of nearly all the fresh
pork produced at the plant. Cryovac packaging extends the shelf life of fresh
pork and adds value to it. The Company expects that all the cryovac packaging
equipment necessary for this operation to operate on a one-shift basis will be
installed by June. However, until this occurs, the Company is having to operate
a costly second cryovac packaging shift and, at the same time, is experiencing
inefficiencies in this operation which are affecting profitability.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $13.6 million, or
35.5%, in the third quarter of fiscal 1995. The increase reflected higher
storage, distribution and delivery costs associated with the increased sales
tonnage, including significantly higher export tonnage, and increased
compensation and administrative costs related to support staff for current and
anticipated future growth.
Depreciation expense increased $0.7 million, or 15.4%, in the third quarter
of fiscal 1995 from the corresponding period a year ago. The increase reflected
depreciation charges related to expansion at the Registrant's Bladen County
plant and Brown's.
Interest expense increased $0.9 million, or 29.6%, in the third quarter of
fiscal 1995, reflecting higher long-term debt related to funding of capital
projects, including additions to the Bladen County plant and additional hog
production facilities at Brown's.
The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 1995
decreased to 35.5% from 39.5% in the corresponding period a year ago, reflecting
increased incentive credits, lower tax rates on foreign sales, and benefits
related to certain insurance contracts.
Reflecting the factors discussed above, net income increased to $17.3
million in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to net income of $11.7
million in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Hog prices have increased over the last month and a half and both fresh
pork and processed meat margins have narrowed considerably since December. The
Company believes that industry conditions in its fiscal fourth quarter, as well
as in much of its next fiscal year, will be more difficult than those it
experienced during the last 12 months.
39 Weeks Ended January 29, 1995 -
39 Weeks Ended January 30, 1994
Sales in the first nine months of fiscal 1995 increased $99.4 million, or 9.2%,
from the same period a year ago. The increase resulted primarily from a 17.2%
increase in sales tonnage offset by a 6.9% decrease in unit selling prices due
to sharply lower live hog costs. The increase in sales tonnage was the result
of a 20.5% increase in fresh pork tonnage combined with an 11.0% increase in
processed meats tonnage.
Cost of sales increased $51.4 million, or 5.5%, in the first nine months of
fiscal 1995, reflecting increased sales tonnage offset by decreased raw material
costs due to substantially lower live hog prices. Gross profit (sales less cost
of sales) in the first three quarters of fiscal 1995 increased by $48.1 million,
or 32.2%, compared to the same period of fiscal 1994. This increase in gross
profit resulted from higher margins on increased sales tonnage of both fresh
pork and processed meats. Gross profit was adversely impacted by an aggregate
operating loss at Brown's and Smithfield-Carroll's, the Registrant's hog
production operations.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $26.4 million, or
25.8%, in the first nine months of fiscal 1995. The increase reflected higher
storage, distribution and delivery costs associated with the increased sales
tonnage, including significantly higher export tonnage, and increased
compensation and administrative costs related to support staff for current and
anticipated future growth.
Depreciation expense decreased $2.4 million, or 13.8%, in the first nine
months of fiscal 1995 from the corresponding period a year ago. The decrease
reflected reduced depreciation charges resulting from a revision in the
estimated useful lives of certain assets beginning in the third quarter of
fiscal 1994, totalling $3.9 million, offset by increased depreciation charges
related to expansion at the Registrant's Bladen County plant and Brown's.
Interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 14.1%, in the first nine months
of fiscal 1995, reflecting higher long-term debt related to funding of capital
projects, including additions to the Bladen County plant and additional hog
production facilities at Brown's.
The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 1995
decreased to 36.5% from 40.2% in the corresponding period a year ago, reflecting
increased employment incentive credits, lower tax rates on foreign sales, and
benefits related to certain insurance contracts.
Reflecting the factors discussed above, net income increased to $27.5
million in the first nine months of fiscal 1995 compared to net income of $12.3
million in the same period of the prior fiscal year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first nine months of fiscal 1995, the Registrant's cash provided by
operating activities was $46.2 million, largely the result of profitable
operations and substantial noncash charges.
Capital expenditures in the first nine months totaled $71.0 million,
consisting primarily of $45.1 million for a rapid carcass chilling system, a new
ham and loin conversion room and additional hog coolers at the Bladen County
plant, and $15.1 million related to additional hog production facilities at
Brown's.
During this period, borrowings under existing lines of credit were reduced
by $15.8 million. The repayment resulted from substantial operating cash flows
and proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt. During the period, the
Registrant placed $50.0 million of three-year notes with a bank, secured by the
Bladen County plant. The notes bear interest at a rate ranging from prime to
three-quarters of a percentage point above prime. The note agreement requires
that the Registrant prepay the loan with the proceeds of any new long-term
financings.
As of January 29, 1995, the Registrant had definitive commitments of
approximately $30.0 million, primarily for capital additions to the Bladen
County plant and new hog production facilities at Brown's.
