On February 3, 1995 the registrant purchased the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Chandeleur Homes, Inc. (Chandeleur) and Crest Ridge Homes, Inc. (Crest Ridge), privately-held corporations with manufactured housing operations in Alabama and Texas. The cash purchase price of approximately $46.9 million was financed from existing cash and new bank debt. Under the terms of the agreements, the registrant paid $35 million of the purchase price at the date of acquisition. A total of $3 million was held back to cover potential post-closing audit adjustments, all of which has been paid. The remaining $8.9 million will likely be paid early in 1996 upon the attainment of certain profit levels. The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method. Chandeleur's and Crest Ridge's results of operations are included with those of the registrant from the acquisition date. In addition to these acquisitions, a company which arranges transportation for a portion of the registrant's manufactured housing business was acquired during the first quarter for $700,000. Summarized below are the unaudited pro forma combined results of operations for the 13 and 39 week periods ended September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994 assuming the Chandeleur and Crest Ridge acquisitions had taken place on January 1, 1995 and January 2, 1994, respectively. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of future earnings or earnings that would have been reported had the acquisitions been completed when assumed. Further, the pro forma income should not be taken as indicative of earnings for a full year. (In thousands, except per share amounts) 13 Weeks Ended 39 Weeks Ended ------------------ ------------------- Sept. 30, Oct. 1, Sept. 30, Oct. 1, 1995 1994 1995 1994 -------- -------- -------- -------- Net sales $226,832 $193,543 $634,983 $522,092 -------- -------- -------- -------- Income from continuing operations before income taxes $ 15,921 $ 12,435 $ 41,085 $ 32,003 Income taxes 6,300 3,500 16,400 8,900 -------- -------- -------- -------- Income from continuing operations $ 9,621 $ 8,935 $ 24,685 $ 23,103 ======== ======== ======== ======== Per share $ 0.61 $ 0.57 $ 1.56 $ 1.50 ======== ======== ======== ======== Pro Forma Income Taxes The pro forma provision for income taxes has been calculated on a consolidated basis as if the transactions had been completed at the beginning of the respective periods. The difference between taxes provided for financial reporting purposes and expected charges at the statutory rate for the periods ended September 30, 1995 is due to state and foreign tax charges. The prior year's tax provisions include the benefit of net operating loss carryforwards. On a fully taxed basis, earnings per share from continuing operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 1, 1994 would have been $0.47 and $1.25, respectively. Pro Forma Earnings Per Share Pro forma earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods including stock options granted to Chandeleur and Crest Ridge executives under agreements entered into in connection with the acquisitions. Earnings per share have been adjusted for the stock split discussed in Note 6 below. 3. As a result of the purchase of Chandeleur and Crest Ridge as discussed in Note 2 above, the registrant recorded approximately $45 million of goodwill (the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired). The goodwill is being amortized on the straight-line basis over the expected periods to be benefited, which is 40 years. The registrant will assess the recoverability of this intangible asset on a regular basis by determining whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. 4. The difference between income taxes provided for financial reporting purposes and expected charges at the statutory rate for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 30, 1995 is due to state and foreign tax charges. Prior year's tax provisions included the benefit of net operating loss carryforwards. The components of the income tax provisions for the 39 week periods ended September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994 follows (dollars in thousands): Sept. 30, Oct. 1, Continuing Operations: 1995 1994 Statutory U.S. tax rate $14,044 $9,893 Increase (decrease) in rate resulting from: Higher rates on earnings of foreign operations 381 200 State taxes 1,575 - NOL benefit recognized and other items - (2,693) ------- ------- Total provisions $16,000 $7,400 ======= ======= Effective tax rates 40% 26% ======= ======= Discontinued Operations: Statutory U.S. tax rate $ - $1,055 Increase in rate resulting from: Other - 50 -------- ------- Total provisions $ - $1,105 ======== ======= Effective tax rates - 37% ======== ======= 5. Income from discontinued operations for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 1994 includes a one-time after-tax gain of $1.9 million from the settlement of certain litigation. 6. On May 1, 1995 the shareholders approved a proposal to increase the number of authorized shares to 30 million from 15 million. In addition, on May 1, 1995 the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of the registrant's common stock effective on May 30, 1995 to holders of record on May 15, 1995. The Board also approved a common stock repurchase program for up to $10 million, approximately $1.9 million of which was expended during the year-to-date period. 7. The per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each of the periods presented and includes common stock equivalents. Earnings per share amounts and weighted average shares outstanding for all periods presented, including pro forma amounts, have been adjusted for the stock split. 8. The Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items except for the $1.9 million of income from discontinued operations included in the 39 week period ended October 1, 1994. Financial results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim periods or for the fiscal year. 9. On October 27, 1995, subsequent to quarter end, the registrant purchased 100% of the outstanding common stock of New Horizon Manufactured Homes, Ltd., located in Alberta, Canada, for approximately $3.9 million. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, $3.2 million of the purchase price was paid on the acquisition date and the remaining $700,000 will be paid upon the earlier of the attainment of certain profit levels or three years. The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method. 10. Certain amounts in the prior periods' statements have been reclassified to conform to the current periods' presentation. CHAMPION ENTERPRISES, INC. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Below is a summary of period-to-period changes in the principal items of the consolidated income statements. This chart is followed by a discussion and analysis of significant factors affecting the registrant's earnings for the period. Comparison of Comparison of 13 Weeks Ended 39 Weeks Ended September 30, 1995 & September 30, 1995 & October 1, 1994 October 1, 1994 -------------------- -------------------- Increase (Decrease) Increase (Decrease) (Dollars in Thousands) (Dollars in Thousands) Net sales $58,046 34% $173,049 38% Cost of products sold 48,837 34% 149,377 39% Selling, general, and administrative expenses 3,905 32% 10,833 31% ------- -------- Operating income 5,304 48% 12,839 45% Interest income (63) (26%) (84) (13%) Interest expense 414 212% 1,229 187% Other - net 42 334 ------- ------- Income from continuing operations before income taxes 4,869 44% 11,860 42% Income taxes 3,400 117% 8,600 116% ------- ------- Income from continuing operations 1,469 18% 3,260 16% Income from discontinued operations - (1,908) ------- -------- Net income $1,469 18% $ 1,352 6% ======= ======== Sales Sales increases by segments of the business are as presented below for the comparative periods ended September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994 (dollars in thousands): Comparative Period Housing Commercial Vehicles Dollars Units Dollars Units 13 weeks ended 9/30/95 and 10/1/94 $54,082 34% 2,196 38% $3,964 34% 72 26% 39 weeks ended 9/30/95 and 10/1/94 $162,366 39% 6,425 41% $10,683 33% 213 28% Manufactured housing sales dollars for the quarter increased due to a 38% unit shipment increase to 7,931 units during the quarter, up from 5,735 units a year ago. Chandeleur and Crest Ridge added $28.7 million to sales, or 18 percentage points of the revenue increase on shipments of 1,503 units. Other manufactured housing operations increased revenues by $25.4 million, or 16%, and unit shipments by 693 units, or 12%. The registrant's U.S. shipments, without Chandeleur and Crest Ridge, increased 730 units, or 13%, over the prior year's third quarter. Excluding Chandeleur and Crest Ridge the multi-sectional mix was 63%, up 4 percentage points from a year ago. Average selling price, without Chandeleur and Crest Ridge, increased 4% to $28,416 from $27,422 a year ago, due to the higher multi-sectional mix, normal periodic price increases and recovery of additional costs due to regional energy and wind standards imposed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Overall, average selling price for the current third quarter was $26,648. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, Chandeleur and Crest Ridge added $78.1 million to sales while other housing operations increased revenues by $84.3 million, or 20%, and unit shipments by 15%. The registrant's year-to-date U.S. shipments rose 16% without Chandeleur and Crest Ridge. This increase compares favorably to the industry's rise in shipments through August 1995 of 12.5% to 223,741 units according to the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI), an industry trade association. Market share in the U.S. for the eight-month period, excluding Chandeleur and Crest Ridge, improved to 6.8% from 6.4%. Including Chandeleur and Crest Ridge, market share improved to 8.4%. Overall, the registrant's year-to-date U.S. multi-sectional mix was 55%, compared to the industry's 48% through August. Excluding Chandeleur and Crest Ridge, the average selling price for the current year-to-date period was $28,147, compared to $26,938 last year. Overall, year-to-date average selling price was $26,450. Bus shipments during third quarter reached 351 units, an increase of 26% over last year's 279 units due to improved municipal sales and new product introductions. Year-to-date revenues rose 33% on a 28% increase in shipments to 978 units from 765 last year. Costs and Expenses Housing segment profits as a percent of sales were 8.0% for the quarter, up from 7.5% a year ago. Excluding Chandeleur and Crest Ridge, segment profits rose to 7.8% of sales primarily as a result of expanded manufacturing capacity and increased production efficiencies. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994, housing margins were 7.5% and 7.4%, respectively. Without Chandeleur and Crest Ridge the year-to-date margin was 7.2% in 1995, decreasing primarily as a result of start-up costs at a new Indiana facility, lower backlog levels and increased service costs. Chandeleur and Crest Ridge added $2.7 million to segment profits for the current quarter and $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Segment profits are calculated as income directly attributable to the segment before general corporate expenses, interest income, interest expense and income taxes. Bus margins improved for the quarter and year-to-date periods as a result of higher volume and improved manufacturing efficiencies. Segment profits as a percent of sales were 5.7% and 5.0%, respectively, for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 1995. These amounts compare favorably to 5.0% and 3.7% for last year's respective periods. For the 13 and 39 week periods, total selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to overall higher volume, including the acquisitions. Interest expense increased due to borrowings to fund the Chandeleur and Crest Ridge acquisitions and to fund seasonal working capital requirements. Income Taxes The income tax provisions for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 30, 1995 increased over prior year amounts. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding this increase and components of the registrant's tax provisions. On a fully taxed basis, earnings per share from continuing operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 1, 1994 would have been $0.42 and $1.10, respectively. OUTLOOK AND RISK FACTORS According to the MHI, manufactured housing shipments increased 12.5% for the first eight months of 1995 and are expected to increase 7-10% for the year. Although the registrant's incoming order rate has risen from last year, unfilled orders for housing are approximately $90 million, the same as they were a year ago, including Chandeleur and Crest Ridge for both periods, due to the registrant's increased production capacity and record high production levels. Unfilled orders are not necessarily indicative of a long-term trend and are subject to cancellation at any time without penalty. Order rates can vary significantly with changes in, among other things, consumer confidence, regional and national economic changes, interest rates, financing availability, and, in some cases, the weather. The registrant's performance goals are to achieve over 20% compound annual growth in fully taxed earnings per share and a minimum 30% annual return on equity. These goals are based on the expected growth in the manufactured housing industry, the registrant's increased manufacturing capacity, its increased number of independent dealer locations, continued market share improvement, and its acquisitions. These goals are also based on a number of assumptions, many of which are beyond the registrant's control, including continued growth in both the manufactured housing industry and the overall general economy, only modest changes in interest rates and continued availability of municipal funding for commercial vehicles. There can be no assurance that these assumptions will prove accurate and actual results may differ substantially from these estimates. The registrant is continuing its discussions with the Environmental Protection Agency concerning alleged environmental claims for the period 1955-1972. A liability for these alleged claims was recorded by the registrant in the fourth quarter of 1994 and does not include any amount for potential insurance recoveries. Final settlement is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the registrant's consolidated financial position. FINANCIAL CONDITION During the 39 weeks ended September 30, 1995, cash provided by continuing operating activities was $24 million. The registrant's cash and cash equivalents decreased to $9.3 million, however, as cash was used for the acquisitions of Chandeleur and Crest Ridge and additions to property and equipment, including planned expenditures under a capital improvement program. The registrant plans capital expenditures in excess of $8 million in 1995, down from $10.6 million in 1994. Cash totaling $1.9 million was also used for the stock repurchase program. Subsequent to quarter end, the registrant used $3.2 million to purchase New Horizon Manufactured Homes, Ltd. (see Note 9). For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the 39 weeks on page 4 of this Report. The registrant has a new unsecured line of credit totaling $70 million with Comerica Bank, Detroit as agent and the First National Bank of Chicago, including $10 million available to cover letters of credit. At quarter end $8.1 million was outstanding on the line of credit, which expires on September 29, 1998. Letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 1995 totaled $6.6 million, generally to support insurance obligations and licensing and service bonding required by various states. The registrant believes its existing sources of liquidity are adequate for operating requirements, common stock repurchases, and planned capital expenditures for the current fiscal year. Growth opportunities, through additional acquisitions of related businesses, and, if prudent, in diversified businesses, continue to be pursued by the registrant. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 5. Other Information. (a) The Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee has approved a new five-year compensation program, effective August 31, 1995, with Walter R. Young, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Among other things, the compensation program is designed to retain the continued services of Mr. Young and to support the continuing creation of shareholder value and attainment of strategic financial objectives. Options for 200,000 shares were granted at fair market value as of August 31, 1995 pursuant to the 1995 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (1995 Plan). Options for 550,000 shares, also priced at fair market value as of August 31, 1995 and pursuant to the 1995 Plan, were granted subject to shareholder approval of amendments to the 1995 Plan at the 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In addition, Mr. Young was awarded 50,000 performance shares pursuant to the 1995 Plan, also subject to shareholder approval of amendments to the 1995 Plan. The options vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date provided that Mr. Young remains employed by the registrant during such period and has kept 250,000 previously-owned shares on deposit with the registrant. Mr. Young retains full ownership and voting rights as to these deposited shares. One-half of the options (375,000) vest earlier than the five-year term (in three or four years) if certain stock price appreciation is attained. The options expire at the earlier of eight years after grant or three years after vesting. The vesting for the performance shares is generally the same as for the options except that there is no acceleration provision. In addition, the registrant's earnings per share for 1996-1999 must grow at a rate at least equal to the median of the registrant's key peers as defined for proxy purposes. Other employment terms remain essentially the same as in Mr. Young's April 27, 1990 employment agreement except that a two-year noncompetition provision has been added. Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K. (a) None. (b) No reports on Form 8-K were filed by the registrant during the quarter ended September 30, 1995. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
