GENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
THIRD QUARTER 2002 VERSUS THIRD QUARTER 2001
Net Sales. Net sales for the third quarter of 2002 increased by
approximately $27,400,000, or 37%, when compared with the third
quarter last year. Net sales of the Company's automotive mirrors
increased by $27,349,000, or 40%, as electrochromic mirror unit
shipments increased by 29% from approximately 1,704,000 in the third
quarter of 2001 to 2,206,000 in the current quarter. This increase
reflected the increased penetration of interior and exterior
electrochromic Night Vision Safety(TM) (NVS(R)) Mirrors on 2003 model
year vehicles plus additional content. Unit shipments to customers in
North America increased by 26%, primarily due to increased
penetration into the mid-sized vehicle segment and higher automotive
production levels. Mirror unit shipments to automotive customers
outside North America increased by 35% compared with the third
quarter in 2001, primarily due to increased interior and exterior
mirror sub-assembly shipments to European and Asian-Pacific
automakers. Net sales of the Company's fire protection products
increased 1%, primarily due to higher sales of certain of the
Company's signaling products.
Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold
decreased from 62% in the third quarter of 2001 to 60% in the third
quarter of 2002. This decreased percentage primarily reflected the
higher sales level leveraged over the fixed overhead costs and
product mix, partially offset by annual customer price reductions to
two major automotive customers.
Operating Expenses. Research and development expenses increased
approximately $892,000, but decreased from 7% to 6% of net sales,
when compared with the same quarter last year, primarily reflecting
additional staffing, engineering and testing for new product
development, including mirrors with additional electronic features.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately
$448,000, but decreased from 6% to 5% of net sales, when compared
with the third quarter of 2001. This increased expense primarily
reflected the expansion of the Company's overseas sales and
engineering offices.
Other Income - Net. Other income decreased by approximately
$1,297,000 when compared with the third quarter of 2001, primarily
due to realized losses on the sale of equity investments.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 VERSUS NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
Net Sales. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
increased by approximately $57,324,000, or 25%, when compared with
the same period last year. Net sales of the Company's automotive
mirrors increased by 27%, as electrochromic mirror unit shipments
increased by 23% from approximately 5,308,000 in the first nine
months of 2001 to 6,540,000 in the first nine months of 2002. This
increase primarily reflected increased penetration on 2002 and 2003
model year vehicles for interior and exterior electrochromic Night
Vision Safety(TM) (NVS(R)) Mirrors. Shipments to customers in North
America increased by 22%, primarily due to increased penetration and
higher automotive production levels. Mirror unit shipments to
automotive customers outside North America increased by 24% compared
with the first nine months in 2001, primarily due to increased
interior and exterior mirror sub-assembly shipments to European and
Asian-Pacific automakers. Net sales of the Company's fire protection
products marginally increased.
Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold
decreased from 61% in the first nine months of 2001, to 60% for the
comparable period in 2002. This increased percentage primarily
reflected the higher sales level leveraged over the fixed overhead
costs.
-7-
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 VERSUS NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 (CONT.)
Operating Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
research and development expenses increased approximately $1,876,000,
but decreased from 7% to 6% of net sales, when compared with the same
period last year, primarily reflecting additional staffing,
engineering and testing for new product development, including
mirrors with additional electronic features. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased approximately $1,028,000, but
decreased from 6% to 5% of net sales, when compared with the first
nine months of 2001. This increased expense primarily reflected the
expansion of the Company's overseas automotive sales and engineering
offices to support future growth opportunities.
Other Income - Net. Other income for the nine months ended September
30, 2002, decreased by approximately $1,802,000 when compared with
the first nine months of 2001, primarily due to realized losses on
the sale of equity investments and declining interest rates.
FINANCIAL CONDITION:
Cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, increased $16,885,000 to $79,978,000, compared to
$63,093,000 for the same period last year, primarily due to increased
net income. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September
30, 2002, were $25,535,000, compared to $39,001,000 for the same
period last year, primarily due to decreased purchases of electronic
manufacturing equipment.
Management considers the Company's working capital and long-term
investments totaling approximately $417,543,000 at September 30,
2002, together with internally generated cash flow and an unsecured
$5,000,000 line of credit from a bank, to be sufficient to cover
anticipated cash needs for the next year and for the foreseeable
future.
On October 8, 2002, the Company announced a share repurchase plan,
under which the Company may purchase up to 4,000,000 shares based on
a number of factors, including market conditions, the market price of
the Company's common stock, anti-dilutive effect on earnings,
available cash and other factors as the Company deems appropriate.
TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS:
The Company is subject to market risk exposures of varying
correlations and volatilities, including foreign exchange rate risk,
interest rate risk and equity price risk. There were no significant
changes in the market risks reported in the Company's 2001 Form 10-K
report.
The Company has some assets, liabilities and operations outside the
United States, which currently are not significant. Because the
Company sells its automotive mirrors throughout the world, it could
be significantly affected by weak economic conditions in worldwide
markets that could reduce demand for its products. The Company
utilizes the forecasting services of J.D. Powers and Associates, and
its current forecasts for light vehicle production are approximately
16.5 million for North America, 16.0 million for Western Europe, and
17.8 million for the Asia/Pacific region for calendar 2002.
In addition to price reductions over the life of its long-term
agreements, the Company continues to experience pricing pressures
from its automotive customers, which have affected, and which will
continue to affect, its margins to the extent that the Company is
unable to offset the price reductions with productivity improvements,
engineering and purchasing cost reductions, and increases in unit
sales volume. In addition, the Company continues to experience from
time to time some pressure for select raw material cost increases.
The Company currently supplies NVS(R) Mirrors to DaimlerChrysler AG
and General Motors Corporation under long-term agreements. The
long-term supply agreement with DaimlerChrysler AG runs through the
2003 Model Year, while the GM contract is through the 2004 Model Year
for inside mirrors.
-8-
TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS (CONT.):
On October 1, 2002, Magna International acquired Donnelly
Corporation. Donnelly is the Company's major competitor for sales of
automatic-dimming rearview mirrors to domestic and foreign vehicle
manufacturers and their mirror suppliers. The Company also sells
certain automatic-dimming rearview mirror sub-assemblies to Magna and
Donnelly. At this time, it is too early to determine the impact, if
any, of Magna's acquisition of Donnelly upon the Company.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The information called for by this item is provided under the caption
"Trends and Developments" under Item 2 - Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of September 30, 2002, an evaluation was performed under the
supervision and with the participation of the Company's management,
including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a - 14(c) and 15d - 14(c)). Based on
that evaluation, the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO,
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of September 30, 2002 to ensure that material
information relating to the Company would be made known to them by
others within the Company, particularly during the period in which
this Form 10-Q was being prepared. There have been no significant
changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to September
30, 2002, nor any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in
such controls requiring corrective actions. As a result, no
corrective actions were required or taken.
Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which express
"belief", "anticipation" or "expectation" as well as other statements
which are not historical fact, are forward-looking statements and
involve risks and uncertainties described under the headings
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition" and "Trends and Developments" that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected. All
forward-looking statements in this Report are based on information
available to the Company on the date hereof, and the Company assumes
no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
