Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations
Three months ended April 30, 1996 compared to three months ended April 30, 1995.
Net Sales. Net sales increased 10.0% to $31.0 million from $28.2 million for the
three months ended April 30, 1996 and April 30, 1995, respectively. The
increase was attributable to a 15% increase in domestic sales reflecting both
unit sales increases and higher average selling prices due to price increases in
the second half of last year. The increase in domestic sales was offset by an
8% decrease in international sales due principally to timing of shipments.
Gross Margins. Gross profit for the three months ended April 30, 1996 was $17.4
million (55.9% of net sales) as compared to $14.9 million (52.9% of net sales)
for the comparable prior year period. The increase in margin is mainly
attributable to the Company continuing to experience a shift in overall sales
mix toward its higher margin Movado, Concord and Esquire brands and price
increases instituted in the second half of last year.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased 11.2% for the three months
ended April 30, 1996 to 55.4% of net sales from 54.8% of net sales for the
comparable prior year period. Excluding the effect of a one-time, pre-tax
charge of $600,000 included in last year's quarter, operating expenses increased
approximately $2.3 million due mainly to increases in advertising, marketing and
sales support costs.
Interest Expenses. Net interest expense, which consists primarily of interest
on the Company's $40,000,000 of 6.56% Senior Notes and borrowings against its
working capital lines of credit, was $842,000 for the three months ended April
30, 1996 as compared to $978,000 for the comparable prior year period. The
lower interest expense is mainly due to a reduction in average borrowings as
compared to the period ended April 30, 1995.
Income Taxes. The Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $204,000 for
the three months ended April 30, 1996 as compared to a benefit of $461,000 for
the comparative prior year period. Taxes were provided at a 30% effective rate
which the Company believes will approximate the effective annual rate for fiscal
1997; however, there can be no assurance of this as it is dependent on a number
of factors including: mix of foreign to domestic earnings, local statutory tax
rates and utilization of net operating losses. The 30% effective rate differs
from the United States statutory rate due to the mix of earnings between the
Company's U.S. and international operations, the most significant of which are
located in Switzerland. The Company's international operations are generally
subject to tax rates that are significantly lower than U.S. statutory rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity needs have been, and are expected to remain, primarily a
function of its seasonal working capital requirements which have increased due
to significant growth in domestic sales over the two previous years. The
Company's business is not capital intensive and liquidity needs for capital
investments have not been significant in relation to the Company's overall
financing requirements.
7
The Company has met its liquidity needs primarily through funds from operations
and bank borrowings under working capital lines of credit with domestic and
Swiss banks. The Company has also entered into a revolving credit agreement
with its domestic banks. Funds available under this agreement are in addition
to the Company's working capital lines. As of April 30, 1996, the Company's
debt to total capitalization ratio increased to 38.4% from 31.8% at January 31,
1996 due to seasonal borrowings under its working capital lines of credit.
The Company's net working capital consisting primarily of trade receivables and
inventories amounted to $128.0 million at April 30, 1996 and $132.7 million at
January 31, 1996.
Accounts receivable at April 30, 1996 were $70.6 million as compared to $75.3
million at January 31, 1996. The decrease was the result of the Company's
collection efforts during the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
Inventories at April 30, 1996 were $98.9 million as compared to $89.1 million at
January 31, 1996. The increase reflects seasonal build of inventories in
anticipation of the spring selling season.
The Company's fiscal 1997 year-to-date capital expenditures approximate
$750,000. Expenditures were primarily related to improvements in the Company's
management information systems and costs incurred in connection with the
expansion of domestic distribution operations. The Company expects its annual
capital expenditures in fiscal year 1997 will exceed the average levels
experienced over the last three fiscal years due to planned improvements in
management information systems, expansion of its retail store network and the
expansion of distribution operations to support continued sales growth.
