=============== ==============
In December 1997, in connection with the Fieldcrest Cannon acquisition,
Pillowtex entered into new senior secured revolving credit and term loan
facilities with a group of financial and institutional investors for which Bank
of America acts as the agent. These facilities consisted of a $350.0 million
revolving credit facility and a $250.0 million term loan facility. The term loan
facility consisted of a $125.0 million Tranche A Term Loan and a $125.0 million
Tranche B Term Loan. Effective July 28, 1998, Pillowtex amended these facilities
by increasing the Tranche B Term Loan to $225.0 million. The increase occurred
in conjunction with the acquisition of The Leshner Corporation, allowing
Pillowtex to fund the transaction and reduce borrowings under the revolving
credit facility. Effective March 12, 1999, the revolving credit facility was
amended to permit Pillowtex to use for working capital one-half of a $61.0
million portion of the facility held as contingency reserve for cash payments
required upon conversion of the Fieldcrest Cannon 6% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures due 2012, thereby increasing availability under that facility.
Effective October 1, 1999, the revolving credit facility was further amended to
permit Pillowtex to use the other half of the contingency reserve for working
capital, thereby increasing availability under that facility. At the end of the
third and fourth quarters of its 1999 fiscal year, Pillowtex was not in
compliance with certain financial covenants under its senior debt facilities.
The Company obtained a series of temporary waivers of this non-compliance.
Effective as of December 7, 1999, the Company agreed to certain amendments to
the senior debt facilities, principally related to cash management, adjustments
to restrictive covenants, and borrowings under, and uses of proceeds from, the
revolving credit facility. Effective as of March 31, 2000, the Company obtained
a permanent waiver of its prior non-compliance with financial covenants and the
senior debt facilities were further
8
amended to shorten their terms to maturity and accelerate the related
amortization schedule for repayment of principal, to eliminate the contingency
reserve requirement referred to above, to increase the applicable interest rate
margins (subject to reduction if the Company's earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) exceeds a specified level for the 2000
fiscal year), to add a covenant requiring that EBITDA must exceed specified
levels for future fiscal periods and to eliminate all other financial covenants,
to modify certain restrictive covenants, to limit borrowings under the revolving
credit facility based on a formula tied to 45% of eligible inventory plus 80% of
eligible accounts receivable, and to provide for a series of reductions in the
commitment under the revolving credit facility. The Company is in compliance
with the amended financial covenants as of April 1, 2000 and believes that it
will be able to comply with the amended financial covenants in the future;
however, there can be no assurance of such compliance.
The revolving credit facility includes $55.0 million of availability
for letters of credit. At May 5, 2000, $36.2 million of letters of credit were
outstanding. At May 5, 2000, $ 28.9 million was available under the revolving
credit facility.
As amended, amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility
and the Tranche A Term Loan currently bear interest at a rate based upon the
London Interbank Offered Rate plus 3.50%. The Tranche B Term Loan bears interest
on a similar basis to the Tranche A Term Loan, plus an additional margin of
0.50%. The weighted average annual interest rate on outstanding borrowings under
the various senior credit facilities for the first quarter of 2000 was 9.67%.
The senior debt facilities expire on January 31, 2002.
The senior debt facilities are guaranteed by each of the domestic
subsidiaries of Pillowtex, and are secured by first priority liens on all of the
capital stock of each domestic subsidiary of Pillowtex and by 65% of the capital
stock of Pillowtex's foreign subsidiaries. Pillowtex has also granted a first
priority security interest in all of its presently unencumbered and future
domestic assets and properties, and all presently unencumbered and future
domestic assets and properties of each of its subsidiaries. The term loan
facility is subject to mandatory prepayment from all net cash proceeds of asset
sales and debt issuances of Pillowtex (except as specifically provided), 50% of
the net cash proceeds of equity issuances by Pillowtex or any of its
subsidiaries, and 75% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined). All mandatory
prepayments will be applied pro rata between the Tranche A Term Loan and the
Tranche B Term Loan to reduce the remaining installments of principal.
The senior debt facilities contain a number of negative covenants,
which restrict, among other things, Pillowtex's ability to incur additional
debt, pay dividends or make other restricted payments, sell stock of
subsidiaries, grant liens, make capital expenditures, engage in transactions
with affiliates, make loans, advances and investments, dispose of assets, effect
mergers, consolidations and dissolutions, and make certain changes in its
business.
A breach of any of the covenants contained in the senior debt
facilities could result in a default under the terms of the facilities. Upon the
occurrence of an event of default: the senior lenders would not be obligated to
make additional advances under the revolving credit facility; the senior lenders
would be entitled to declare all amounts outstanding under the senior debt
facilities, including accrued interest or other obligations, to be immediately
due and payable; the senior lenders would have the rights to block payment on
substantially all of Pillowtex's other long-term debt; and the senior lenders
would be entitled to proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure
the senior debt. In these circumstances, cross defaults could occur making
substantially all of Pillowtex's other long-term debt due. If any senior debt
were to be accelerated, the Company cannot be certain that its assets would be
sufficient to repay in full that debt and its other debt.
As a result of the covenants described above, Pillowtex's ability to
respond to changing business and economic conditions and to secure additional
financing, if needed, is significantly restricted.
In May 1999, Pillowtex entered into a $20.0 million senior unsecured
revolving credit facility (overline facility) in order to obtain additional
working capital availability. On July 27, 1999, this facility was amended to
increase the amount of funds available to $35.0 million. At the end of the third
and fourth quarters of its 1999 fiscal year, Pillowtex was not in compliance
with certain financial covenants under this facility, the covenants of which are
established by reference to the senior debt facilities described above. The
Company obtained a series of temporary waivers of this non-compliance and
extensions of the maturity date. Effective as of December 7, 1999, the Company
agreed to certain amendments to this facility, resulting in the facility being
secured by the assets securing the senior debt facilities described above.
Effective as of March 31, 2000, the Company obtained a permanent waiver of its
prior non-compliance and the facility was amended to lengthen its term to
maturity, to impose an amortization schedule for the repayment of principal, and
to increase the applicable interest rate margins (subject to reduction if the
Company's EBITDA exceeds a specified level for the 2000 fiscal year).
9
This facility is guaranteed on a senior basis by Pillowtex's domestic
subsidiaries. Pillowtex is currently required to pay interest on any amounts
borrowed under the facility at a rate which is based upon the London Interbank
Offered Rate plus 4.5% or the base rate plus 3.0%, at Pillowtex's option. This
facility matures upon termination by Pillowtex at any time or otherwise at the
earliest of: a) any increase in the commitment under the senior debt facilities
described above, the issuance of any capital stock by Pillowtex or its domestic
subsidiaries, or other specified events; or b) January 31, 2002.
In connection with the Fieldcrest Cannon merger, Pillowtex issued
$185.0 million of 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due December 15, 2007, with
interest payable semiannually commencing June 15, 1998. Pillowtex may at its
option redeem the 9% Notes, in whole or in part, on or after December 15, 2002
at a redemption price of 104.5%, which declines 1.5% annually through December
15, 2005 to 100%. The 9% Notes are general unsecured obligations of Pillowtex,
are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior
indebtedness, and rank pari passu to the 10% Notes described below.
On November 12, 1996, Pillowtex issued the 10% Senior Subordinated
Notes due November 15, 2006, with interest payable semiannually commencing May
15, 1997. Pillowtex may, at its option, redeem the 10% Notes, in whole or in
part, on or after November 15, 2001 at a redemption price of 105.0%, which
declines 1.667% annually through November 15, 2004 to 100%. The 10% Notes are
general unsecured obligations of Pillowtex, and are subordinated in right of
payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness.
The 9% Notes and the 10% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a
senior subordinated basis by each of the existing and future domestic
subsidiaries of Pillowtex and each other subsidiary of Pillowtex that guarantees
Pillowtex's obligations under the senior debt facilities described above. The
guarantees are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future
senior indebtedness of the relevant guarantor. Upon a change in control,
Pillowtex will be required to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding 9%
Notes and 10% Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of repurchase.
As a result of Pillowtex's acquisition of Fieldcrest Cannon, the
outstanding 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2012 of Fieldcrest Cannon
are convertible, at the option of the holders, into a combination of cash and
Pillowtex's Common Stock. During the fourth quarter of 1999, Pillowtex notified
the holders of 6% Convertible Debentures that it was not practicable or prudent
for payments to be made in respect of the conversion of 6% Convertible
Debentures and advised holders that had surrendered 6% Convertible Debentures
that, with limited exceptions, they could rescind their notice of conversion,
return to Pillowtex any Pillowtex Common Stock that had been issued to them and
regain possession of their 6% Convertible Debentures. As of April 1, 2000, the
cash component due in respect of 6% Convertible Debentures that had been
surrendered without subsequent rescission of that surrender was $9.1 million. In
addition, as of April 1, 2000, $96.5 million aggregate principal amount of 6%
Convertible Debentures remained outstanding. If all such outstanding 6%
Convertible Debentures were converted, including those surrendered without
subsequent rescission, at such date, the resulting cash component to be paid to
the holders of 6% Convertible Debentures would have been approximately $61.0
million (classified as current portion of long-term debt at April 1, 2000).
Pillowtex is currently prohibited under the terms of its senior subordinated
debt from making payments in respect of the 6% Convertible Debentures except for
interest and at maturity or pursuant to sinking fund obligations. Pillowtex has
initiated discussions with certain holders of its 6% Convertible Debentures
regarding a potential restructuring of the 6% Convertible Debentures. Currently,
it is anticipated that any comprehensive restructuring of the 6% Convertible
Debentures involving cash payments (other than pursuant to sinking fund
obligations) would likely require the consent of the holders of Pillowtex's
senior subordinated debt.
As of January 1, 2000, Pillowtex had approximately $345.0 million of
notional amounts covered under interest rate swap agreements whereby Pillowtex
exchanged floating rates for fixed rates. The weighted average fixed and
floating rates were 4.70% and 6.05%, respectively. As of April 1, 2000,
Pillowtex had approximately $230.0 million of notional amounts covered under
interest rate swap agreements whereby Pillowtex exchanged floating rates for
fixed rates. The weighted average fixed and floating rates were 4.70% and 6.04%,
respectively. The fair values of the swaps at January 1, 2000 and April 1, 2000
were $4.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in favor of Pillowtex.
Under the terms of its senior secured credit agreements and senior
subordinated debt and its Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock,
Pillowtex currently is prohibited from paying cash dividends to or making other
distributions to holders of its Common Stock.
Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, and
aggressive efforts to reduce inventories and accounts receivable, Pillowtex
anticipates that its cash flow from operations, together with amounts available
under its revolving credit facility, will be adequate to meet its anticipated
cash requirements in the foreseeable future (assuming no significant cash
payments are required to be made in respect of the 6% Convertible Debentures
other than scheduled interest payments and payments related to satisfaction of
the
10
sinking fund obligations). In the event that cash flows and available borrowings
under the revolving credit facility are not sufficient to meet future cash
requirements, Pillowtex may be required to reduce planned capital expenditures
or seek additional financing. Pillowtex can provide no assurances that
reductions in planned capital expenditures would be sufficient to cover
shortfalls in available cash or that additional financing would be available or,
if available, offered on terms acceptable to the Company.
(6) Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
On December 19, 1997, the Company issued 65,000 shares of Series A
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") for $65.0
million less $2.1 million of issue costs. Accretion is being recognized to
increase the recorded amount to the redemption amount over the period to the
redemption date. Dividends accrued from the issue date through December 31, 1999
at a 3% annual rate. Beginning January 1, 2000, the rate increased to 10% as a
result of the Company's earnings per share for 1999 falling below predetermined
targets. During the third and fourth quarters of Fiscal 1999, the Company paid
in kind a one-time cumulative dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock, from the
issue date through December 31, 1999, equal to the difference between the
dividends calculated at the 3% rate and dividends calculated at the 10% rate, or
10,135 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Dividends can be paid in cash or
additional shares of preferred stock until December 2002, at which time they
must be paid in cash. The Company's ability to pay dividends on the common stock
and preferred stock is restricted under the terms of its senior credit
facilities and senior subordinated debt. Total preferred shares outstanding as

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the
fiscal year ended January 1, 2000.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Net Sales. Net sales were $345.2 million for the three months ended April 1,
- ----------
2000, representing a decrease of $23.3 million, or 6.3%, as compared to $368.5
million for the three months ended April 3, 1999. The decrease in net sales was
due to high inventories held by certain customers and to a lesser extent to the
systems conversion for the Company's Pillow and Pad products combined with no
major product roll-outs during the first quarter. The biggest drop in sales
occurred in bath products, where sales dropped $17.2 million (10.0%) from last
year's first quarter.
Gross Profit. Gross profit margins decreased to 11.3% for the three months ended
- -------------
April 1, 2000 from 15.3% for the three months ended April 3, 1999. The decline
in gross profit margin is primarily due to higher unabsorbed overhead expenses,
lower volume and price realization.
The Company continues to focus on decreasing inventory, accounts receivable and
operating costs and is closely monitoring sales and marketing programs to
improve operating results.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A"). SG&A expenses decreased $1.2
- ---------------------------------------------
million to $26.9 million for the three months ended April 1, 2000, compared to
$28.1 million for the three months ended April 3, 1999. Higher professional fees
associated with the revisions to the Company's debt arrangements with the
lending group during the first quarter of 2000 were more than offset by the
inclusion in manufacturing overhead of certain production related technology
costs previously included in SG&A.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $8.3 million to $27.8 million for
- -----------------
the three months ended April 1, 2000, compared to $19.5 million for the three
months ended April 3, 1999. Contributing to the increase in interest expense in
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 were bank fees related to the restructuring of
debt, an increase in the level of borrowings, and higher average interest rates
of 9.3% compared to 8.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Senior Debt Facilities. In December 1997, in connection with the
Fieldcrest Cannon acquisition, Pillowtex entered into new senior secured
revolving credit and term loan facilities with a group of financial and
institutional investors for which Bank of America acts as the agent. These
facilities consisted of a $350.0 million revolving credit facility and a $250.0
million term loan facility. The term loan facility consisted of a $125.0 million
Tranche A Term Loan and a $125.0 million Tranche B Term Loan. Effective July 28,
1998, Pillowtex amended these facilities by increasing the Tranche B Term Loan
to $225.0 million. The increase occurred in conjunction with the acquisition of
Leshner, allowing Pillowtex to fund the transaction and reduce borrowings under
the revolving credit facility. Effective March 12, 1999, the revolving credit
facility was amended to permit Pillowtex to use for working capital one-half of
a $61.0 million portion of the facility held as contingency reserve for cash
payments required upon conversion of the Fieldcrest Cannon 6% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due 2012, thereby increasing availability under that
facility. Effective October 1, 1999, the revolving credit facility was further
amended to permit Pillowtex to use the other half of the contingency reserve for
working capital, thereby increasing availability under that facility. At the end
of the third and fourth quarters of its 1999 fiscal year, Pillowtex was not in
compliance with certain financial covenants under its senior debt facilities.
The Company obtained a series of temporary waivers of this non-compliance.
Effective as of December 7, 1999, the Company agreed to certain amendments to
the senior debt facilities, principally related to cash management, adjustments
to restrictive covenants, and borrowings under, and uses of proceeds from, the
revolving credit facility. Effective as of March 31, 2000, the Company obtained
a permanent waiver of its prior non-compliance with financial covenants and the
senior debt facilities were further amended to shorten their terms to maturity
and accelerate the related amortization schedule for repayment of principal, to
eliminate the contingency reserve requirement referred to above, to increase the
applicable interest rate margins (subject to reduction if the Company's earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) exceeds a
specified level for the 2000 fiscal year), to add a covenant requiring that
EBITDA must exceed specified levels for future fiscal periods and to eliminate
all other financial covenants, to modify certain restrictive covenants, to limit
borrowings under the revolving credit facility based on a formula tied to 45% of
eligible inventory plus 80% of eligible accounts receivable, and to provide for
a series of reductions in the commitment under the revolving credit facility. As
of April 1, 2000 the Company had $285.7 million outstanding under its revolving
credit facility.
16
The revolving credit facility includes $55.0 million of availability
for letters of credit. At April 1, 2000, $34.6 million of letters of credit were
outstanding. At May 5, 2000, $ 28.9 million was available under the revolving
credit faciliity.
As amended, amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and
the Tranche A Term Loan currently bear interest at a rate based upon the London
Interbank Offered Rate plus 3.50%. The Tranche B Term Loan bears interest on a
similar basis to the Tranche A Term Loan, plus an additional margin of 0.50%.
The weighted average annual interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the
various senior credit facilities for the first quarter of 2000 was 9.67%. The
senior debt facilities expire on January 31, 2002.
The senior debt facilities are guaranteed by each of the domestic
subsidiaries of Pillowtex, and are secured by first priority liens on all of the
capital stock of each domestic subsidiary of Pillowtex and by 65% of the capital
stock of Pillowtex's foreign subsidiaries. Pillowtex has also granted a first
priority security interest in all of its presently unencumbered and future
domestic assets and properties, and all presently unencumbered and future
domestic assets and properties of each of its subsidiaries. The term loan
facility is subject to mandatory prepayment from all net cash proceeds of asset
sales and debt issuances of Pillowtex (except as specifically provided), 50% of
the net cash proceeds of equity issuances by Pillowtex or any of its
subsidiaries, and 75% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined). All mandatory
prepayments will be applied pro rata between the Tranche A Term Loan and the
Tranche B Term Loan to reduce the remaining installments of principal.
The senior debt facilities contain a number of negative covenants,
which restrict, among other things, Pillowtex's ability to incur additional
debt, pay dividends or make other restricted payments, sell stock of
subsidiaries, grant liens, make capital expenditures, engage in transactions
with affiliates, make loans, advances and investments, dispose of assets, effect
mergers, consolidations and dissolutions, and make certain changes in its
business.
A breach of any of the covenants contained in the senior debt
facilities could result in a default under the terms of the facilities. Upon the
occurrence of an event of default: the senior lenders would not be obligated to
make additional advances under the revolving credit facility; the senior lenders
would be entitled to declare all amounts outstanding under the senior debt
facilities, including accrued interest or other obligations, to be immediately
due and payable; the senior lenders would have the rights to block payment on
substantially all of Pillowtex's other long-term debt; and the senior lenders
would be entitled to proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure
the senior debt. In these circumstances, cross defaults could occur making
substantially all of Pillowtex's other long-term debt due. If any senior debt
were to be accelerated, the Company cannot be certain that its assets would be
sufficient to repay in full that debt and its other debt.
As a result of the covenants described above, Pillowtex's ability to
respond to changing business and economic conditions and to secure additional
financing, if needed, is significantly restricted.
Overline Facility. In May 1999, Pillowtex entered into a $20.0 million
senior unsecured revolving credit facility (overline facility) in order to
obtain additional working capital availability. On July 27, 1999, this facility
was amended to increase the amount of funds available to $35.0 million. At the
end of the third and fourth quarters of its 1999 fiscal year, Pillowtex was not
in compliance with certain financial covenants under this facility, the
covenants of which are established by reference to the senior debt facilities
described above. The Company obtained a series of temporary waivers of this
non-compliance and extensions of the maturity date. Effective as of December 7,
1999, the Company agreed to certain amendments to this facility, resulting in
the facility being secured by the assets securing the senior debt facilities
described above. Effective as of March 31, 2000, the Company obtained a
permanent waiver of its prior non-compliance and the facility was amended to
lengthen its term to maturity, to impose an amortization schedule for the
repayment of principal, and to increase the applicable interest rate margins
(subject to reduction if the Company's EBITDA exceeds a specified level for the
2000 fiscal year).
This facility is guaranteed on a senior basis by Pillowtex's domestic
subsidiaries. Pillowtex is currently required to pay interest on any amounts
borrowed under the facility at a rate which is based upon the London Interbank
Offered Rate plus 4.5% or the base rate plus 3.0%, at Pillowtex's option. This
facility matures upon termination by Pillowtex at any time or otherwise at the
earliest of: a) any increase in the commitment under the senior debt facilities
described above, the issuance of any capital stock by Pillowtex or its domestic
subsidiaries, or other specified events; or b) January 31, 2002.
Senior Subordinated Debt. In connection with the Fieldcrest Cannon
merger, Pillowtex issued $185.0 million of 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due
December 15, 2007, with interest payable semiannually commencing June 15, 1998.
Pillowtex may at its option redeem the 9% Notes, in whole or in part, on or
after December 15, 2002 at a redemption price of 104.5%, which declines 1.5%
annually through December 15, 2005 to 100%. The 9% Notes are general unsecured
obligations of Pillowtex, are subordinated in right of payment to all existing
and future senior indebtedness, and rank pari passu to the 10% Notes described
below.
17
On November 12, 1996, Pillowtex issued the 10% Senior Subordinated
Notes due November 15, 2006, with interest payable semiannually commencing May
15, 1997. Pillowtex may, at its option, redeem the 10% Notes, in whole or in
part, on or after November 15, 2001 at a redemption price of 105.0%, which
declines 1.667% annually through November 15, 2004 to 100%. The 10% Notes are
general unsecured obligations of Pillowtex, and are subordinated in right of
payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness.
The 9% Notes and the 10% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a
senior subordinated basis by each of the existing and future domestic
subsidiaries of Pillowtex and each other subsidiary of Pillowtex that guarantees
Pillowtex's obligations under the senior debt facilities described above. The
guarantees are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future
senior indebtedness of the relevant guarantor. Upon a change in control,
Pillowtex will be required to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding 9%
Notes and 10% Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of repurchase.
Fieldcrest Cannon Convertible Debentures. As a result of Pillowtex's
acquisition of Fieldcrest Cannon, the outstanding 6% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures due 2012 of Fieldcrest Cannon are convertible, at the option of the
holders, into a combination of cash and Pillowtex's Common Stock. During the
fourth quarter of 1999, Pillowtex notified the holders of the 6% Convertible
Debentures that it was not practicable or prudent for payments to be made in
respect of the conversion of the 6% Convertible Debentures and advised holders
that had given notice of conversion and surrendered their 6% Convertible
Debentures that they could rescind their notice of conversion, return to
Pillowtex any Pillowtex Common Stock that had been issued to them and have their
6% Convertible Debentures reinstated. As of April 1, 2000, the cash component
due in respect of the 6% Convertible Debentures that had been surrendered
without subsequent rescission was $9.1 million. In addition, as of April 1,
2000, $96.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 6% Convertible Debentures
remained outstanding. If all such outstanding 6% Convertible Debentures were
converted at such date, including those surrendered without subsequent
rescission, the resulting cash component to be paid to the holders of the 6%
Convertible Debentures would have been approximately $61.0 million (classified
as a current liability at April 1, 2000). Pillowtex is currently prohibited
under the terms of its senior subordinated debt from making payments in respect
of the 6% Convertible Debentures except for interest and at maturity or pursuant
to sinking fund obligations. Pillowtex has initiated discussions with certain
holders of its 6% Convertible Debentures regarding a potential restructuring of
the 6% Convertible Debentures. Currently any comprehensive restructuring of the
6% Convertible Debentures involving cash payments (other than pursuant to
sinking fund obligations) would likely require the consent of the holders of
Pillowtex's senior subordinated debt. The Company cannot guarantee that it will
be able to restructure the 6% Convertible Debentures nor can it predict the
terms of any potential restructuring of that debt.
Swap Agreements. Pillowtex enters into interest rate swap agreements to
modify the interest characteristics of portions of its outstanding debt. These
agreements entitle the Company to receive or pay to the counterparty (a major
bank), on a quarterly basis, the amounts, if any, by which the Company's
interest payments covered by swap agreements differ from those of the
counterparty. These amounts are recorded as adjustments to interest expense. The
fair value of the swap agreements and changes in fair value as a result of
changes in market interest rates are not recognized in the consolidated
financial statements. As of January 1, 2000, Pillowtex had approximately $345.0
million of notional amounts covered under interest rate swap agreements whereby
Pillowtex exchanged floating rates for fixed rates. The weighted average fixed
and floating rates were 4.70% and 6.05%, respectively. As of April 1, 2000,
Pillowtex had approximately $230.0 million of notional amounts covered under
interest rate swap agreements whereby Pillowtex exchanged floating rates for
fixed rates. The weighted average fixed and floating rates were 4.70% and 6.04%,
respectively. The fair values of the swaps at January 1, 2000 and April 1, 2000
were $4.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in favor of Pillowtex.
Adequacy of Capital Resources. As of April 1, 2000, Pillowtex was in
compliance with all its debt covenants. Cash flow from operations increased by
$4.7 million as compared to the period ended April 3, 1999, and based upon
current and anticipated levels of operations, and aggressive efforts to reduce
inventories and accounts receivable, Pillowtex anticipates that its cash flow
from operations, together with amounts available under its revolving credit
facility, will be adequate to meet its anticipated cash requirements in the
foreseeable future (assuming no significant cash payments are required to be
made in respect of the 6% Convertible Debentures other than scheduled interest
payments and payments related to satisfaction of the sinking fund obligations).
In the event that cash flows and available borrowings under the revolving credit
facility are not sufficient to meet future cash requirements, Pillowtex may be
required to reduce planned capital expenditures or seek additional financing.
Pillowtex can provide no assurances that reductions in planned capital
expenditures would be sufficient to cover shortfalls in available cash or that
additional financing would be available or, if available, offered on terms
acceptable to the Company.
Recent Accounting Matters
- -------------------------
The Company is assessing the reporting and disclosures requirements of SFAS No.
133, "Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and hedging activities
18
and will require the Company to recognize all derivatives on its balance sheet
at fair value. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the
hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivatives will either be offset
against the change in fair value of the hedged item through earnings, or
recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in
earnings. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001 and is evaluating the impact adoption will have on the Company's
results of operations or financial position.
In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain
Transactions Involving Stock Compensation: An Interpretation of APB Opinion No.
25". Among other issues, Interpretation No. 44 clarifies the application of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25) regarding (a) the
definition of employee for purposes of applying APB No. 25, (b) the criteria for
determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (c) the
accounting consequences of various modifications to the terms of a previously
fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting for an exchange of stock
compensation awards in a business combination. The provisions of Interpretation
No. 44 affecting the Company are to be applied on a prospective basis effective
July 1, 2000.
