Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared with Three Months Ended
June 30, 1999
Net income for the second quarter of 2000 was $2.2 million, $.14 a share, a
decrease of $.9 million when compared to second quarter 1999 earnings of $3.1
million, $.20 a share. Net sales totaled $30.2 million in the current quarter, a
six percent decrease from $32.2 million in 1999. Operating income for the 2000
period was $6.8 million, a decrease of $1.3 million from 1999. Net cash provided
by operating activities decreased by $2 million from the second quarter of 1999
to $6.2 million.
In the current quarter, operating income decreased $1.3 million. The
Company's Woodlands segment increased $1.5 million due primarily to a 24 percent
increase in the pine sawtimber harvest level and a four percent increase in the
price for pine sawtimber sold, partially offset by a $.6 million increase in the
cost of fee timber harvested. The Mills segment decreased $3.1 million primarily
as a result of a 15 percent decrease in lumber sales price.
The Woodlands segment reported net sales of $10.5 million for the current
quarter compared to $8.4 million a year ago. Sales of pine sawtimber increased
$1.6 million as a result of a 29,800 ton increase in the harvest level to
152,400 tons and a $2 per ton increase in the sales price of pine sawtimber sold
to $47 per ton. Net sales included the sale of a hardwood timberland tract by
the Company that resulted in a gain of $1.8 million in the second quarter of
2000, an increase of $.7 million from the $1.1 million realized from a similar
sale in 1999. (The gain for the prior year was previously reported in "Other
Income" in the 1999 Consolidated Statement of Income, but has been reclassified
to net sales for the Woodlands segment in order to be comparable to the current
year reporting format, which resulted from the Company's initiative, as approved
by its Board of Directors, to identify land which is non-strategic or which
could be sold for higher and better usage.) Operating income was $7.8 million in
2000 compared to $6.3 million in 1999, an increase of 25 percent, due mainly to
the increase in net sales, partially offset by a $.6 million increase in the
cost of fee timber harvested resulting primarily from the increase in harvest
levels.
The Mills segment's net sales totaled $19.8 million for the second quarter
of 2000 compared to $22.6 million in the second quarter of 1999. Finished lumber
sales decreased $2.5 million due to a $59 drop in the sales price realized per
thousand board feet ("MBF") of lumber sold to $339, while sales volume increased
three percent to 50.6 million board feet. A loss from operations of $.6 million
in 2000 compared to operating income of $2.5 million in 1999 due primarily to
the decrease in net sales, despite the increase in sales volume, which resulted
in a negative margin of $11 per MBF sold in 2000.
The Company's Real Estate segment recorded net sales of $4.2 million in the
current-year period compared to $4 million a year ago. Residential lot sales
increased by 2 lots to 52, while the average sales price per lot increased by
$1,100 to $51,300 due to sales mix. Operating income was $.8 million in the
second quarter of 2000 compared to $.9 million during the second quarter 1999
due to a reduced gross profit margin from lots sold.
Agriculture operations reported net sales of $.4 million in 2000 compared
to $.2 million in 1999 as the result of the current period including increased
sales of carryover soybeans held as inventory at the end of each of the
respective preceding years because of depressed commodity prices. Operating
income was $.1 million for the current period compared to break-even results for
the 1999 period due mainly to the increase in net sales.
11
During the current quarter, the Company received the preliminary bids
related to the potential sale of its agriculture properties. Negotiations with
prospective buyers will continue during the third quarter of 2000. Based upon
these preliminary bids, the Company is "cautiously optimistic" that it will be
able to achieve its objective of exchanging its existing farmland for timberland
in a tax-efficient manner.
Corporate operating expense was $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2000,
compared to $1.6 million for the same period of 1999. Equity in the loss of Del-
Tin Fiber was $2.6 million which compares to a loss of $2 million a year ago.
Income tax expense of $1.1 million for the current quarter decreased $1.1
million due to lower pretax income and lower state income taxes.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared with Six Months Ended
June 30, 1999
For the first six months of 2000, net income totaled $4.4 million, $.27 a
share, compared to net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 of $7
million, $.47 a share. The decrease was primarily the result of lower operating
income from the Company's Mills and Real Estate segments and an increase in
equity loss from Del-Tin Fiber, partially offset by increased operating income
from the Woodlands segment and decreased income tax expense.
Operating income for the first half of 2000 was $13.3 million, a decrease
of $3.6 million from 1999. The Company's Woodlands operations increased $3
million as the result of a 30 percent increase in harvest level for pine
sawtimber to 357,400 tons and a four percent increase in the sales price for
pine sawtimber, partially offset by an increase in the cost of fee timber
harvested. The Mills segment decreased $2.8 million due primarily to a $34 per
MBF decrease in average lumber sales price. Real Estate operations decreased
$3.9 million primarily as a result of 1999 benefiting from the sale of a 72-acre
commercial site and reduced residential lot sales for the 2000 period.
The Woodlands segment produced net sales of $21.4 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $4.8 million when compared to $16.6
million during 1999. Pine sawtimber sales increased $4.3 million as the result
of a 30 percent increase in sales volume to 357,400 tons, combined with a $2 per
ton increase in the sales price received for pine sawtimber to $48 per ton.
Sales of pine and hardwood pulpwood decreased $.3 million as a result of
decreased harvest levels and sales price. Net sales included the sale of a non-
strategic hardwood timberland tract that generated a gain of $1.8 million in
2000, compared to a gain of $1.1 million for a similar sale in 1999. Operating
income was $15.1 million for the first half of 2000, compared to $12.1 million
in 1999 due to the increase in net sales, partially offset by a $1.5 million
increase in the cost of fee timber harvested resulting from the increase in
harvest levels and a higher cost per ton of timber harvested due primarily to
recent timberland acquisitions.
Mill operations recorded net sales of $40.9 million for the first six
months of both 2000 and 1999. Finished lumber sales increased $.5 million due to
an 11 percent increase in sales volume to 100.9 million board feet, offset by a
nine percent decrease in the average sales price per MBF sold to $351. Operating
income for 2000 was $.2 million compared to $3 million for the 1999 period. The
decrease was due primarily to the decrease in sales price, partially offset by a
$3 per MBF decrease in the cost of lumber sold resulting from a reduction in the
log cost per MBF of lumber produced.
Real Estate operations reported net sales of $7 million during the first
half of 2000 compared to $11.7 million during 1999. The first six months of 1999
benefited from the sale of a 72-acre commercial site for $60,000 per acre, while
2000 included the sale of a .7-acre site for $206,500 per acre. Residential lot
sales totaled 88 lots compared to 98 in 1999, while the average sales price of
$50,300 decreased $1,800 per lot due to the mix of lots sold. Operating income
of $1.1 million in 2000 decreased $3.9 million from the first half of 1999 as
the result of the reduction in net sales, partially offset by the related
decrease in sales commission expense.
12
The Agriculture segment produced net sales of $4.1 million in the first six
months of 2000 compared to $.7 million in 1999 due to the current period
including significantly greater sales of carryover soybeans and corn. These
farm products were grown in 1999 and held in inventory at the end of 1999
because of depressed commodity prices. Operating income was $.4 million in the
first half of 2000 compared to $.1 million in 1999 due primarily to the timing
of sales.
Corporate operating expense was $3.6 million for the 2000 period, an
increase of $.3 million from 1999 as the result of higher general and
administrative expenses. Equity in the loss of Del-Tin Fiber recorded by the
Company was $4.9 million in the current year, which compares to $3.6 million a
year ago. Financial results for Del-Tin Fiber continue to be unsatisfactory due
to lower average sales price than expected for medium density fiberboard ("MDF")
and higher production costs. However, the facility's production of MDF has
improved following modifications to critical equipment, with the month of June
resulting in a record for volume produced. Income tax expense decreased $2.6
million to $2.2 million for the first half of 2000 due to decreased pretax
income and lower state income taxes.
Financial Condition
For the first six months of 2000, net cash provided by operating activities
totaled $19.6 million compared to $15.9 million for the same period of 1999.
Changes in operating working capital, other than cash and cash equivalents,
required cash of $1.9 million for the first half of 2000 and $8.5 million for
the first six months of 1999.
Capital expenditures required cash of $11 million in the current year-to-
date period and $15.6 million a year ago. Capital expenditures by segment
consisted of the following:

The net change in purchased stumpage inventory to be utilized in the
Company's sawmills operations required cash of $2.3 million during the first six
months of 2000 and $.2 million in the first half of 1999. Maturities of U.S.
government securities provided $.9 million in the current year. During the six
months ended June 30, 2000, the Company advanced $3.6 million to Del-Tin Fiber
and paid dividends of $2.7 million, consisting of $1.6 million for common stock
and $1.1 million for redeemable preferred stock. In the current year, borrowings
under the Company's revolving credit facility provided $4 million, while
purchases of treasury stock required cash of $4.9 million. These net sources of
funds resulted in a $.6 million increase in the Company's cash and cash
equivalents since December 31, 1999.
On February 23, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock
repurchase program of up to $10 million of its common stock. Under the program,
the Company can purchase shares through the open market and privately negotiated
transactions at prices deemed appropriate by Deltic's management. As of June
30, 2000, Deltic had repurchased 224,000 shares at an average cost of $21.81
per share under this program.
13
Deltic's management believes that the cash generated by its operating
activities and the remaining amount available under its credit facility will be
sufficient to meet its expected cash needs and planned expenditures, including
those of the Company's continued timberland acquisition program and authorized
common stock repurchase program, for the foreseeable future.
