MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS A.) Liquidity and Capital Resources As of November 26, 1995, there has been no material overall change in the Registrant's liquidity or its capital resources from those described in the Management's Discussion and Analysis contained in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 28, 1995. Cash and cash equivalents were $22.5 million at November 26, 1995, a $17.6 million increase over the balance at May 28, 1995. Working capital at November 26, 1995, was $189.7 million compared to $215.0 million at May 28, 1995. The decrease in working capital was principally the result of increased short-term borrowings associated with the acquisitions of businesses during the six months ended November 26, 1995. The increased accounts and notes receivable at November 26, 1995, compared to the balances at May 28, 1995, were principally the result of acquired businesses and increased sales. The increased inventories at November 26, 1995, compared to the balance at May 28, 1995, were principally the result of the seasonality of vegetable crop and processing and the inventories of business acquisitions. The November 26, 1995, inventories were $55.0 million greater than inventories a year ago reflecting inventories of business acquisitions. Short-term borrowings outstanding at November 26, 1995, were $173.0 million, an increase of $144.0 million from the balance outstanding at May 28, 1995. The increase in short-term borrowings was principally the result of: 1.) Borrowings associated with the normal pack of seasonally grown crops, and 2.) Cash outlays for business acquisitions. The increased accounts payables and accrued expenses at November 26, 1995, compared to the balance at May 28, 1995, was the result of business acquisitions and increased sales. The increase in other non-current assets largely was the result of intangibles associated with business acquisitions during the six months ended November 26, 1995. The Registrant's debt-to-capital ratio was 27.9% at November 26, 1995, compared with 27.8% at May 28, 1995. B.) Results of Operations Overall sales for the quarter and the six month period ended November 26, 1995, increased 6.4% and 6.2%, respectively, over sales of the comparable periods last year. The increased sales both for the quarter and the six months this year principally were the result of increased unit sales volumes by both the Registrant's Dairy Products and Specialty Food Products operations and sales of business acquisitions in fiscal 1995 and during the six month period ended November 26, 1995. Consolidated after-tax earnings for the second quarter and the six months ended November 26, 1995, declined 20.0% and 19.8%, respectively, from the earnings of the same periods a year ago, principally the result of lower earnings of the Registrant's Specialty Food Products segment. Sales of the Dairy Products operations for the second quarter were $397.2 million compared with $374.8 million for the same period a year ago. Sales for the six months ended November 26, 1995, were $787.5 million compared with $746.0 million for the same period last year. The sales increases this year principally were the result of increased unit sales volumes in certain markets with overall selling prices approximating last year's pricing. 7 8 Dairy Products operating earnings for the second quarter were $19.2 million compared with $17.0 million for the corresponding period a year ago. Operating earnings for the six months ended November 26, 1995, were $39.5 million compared with $36.6 million for the same period last year. The second quarter results a year ago included a charge to earnings of $2.0 million relative to plant closings. Competitive pricing conditions in a couple marketing areas limited an overall increase in Dairy Products earnings for the second quarter and six months this year. Sales of the Specialty Food Products operations for the second quarter were $301.3 million, an increase of 6.8% over sales of the corresponding period a year ago. Sales for the six months ended November 26, 1995, were 7.3% greater than sales of the same period last year. The increased sales both for the second quarter and the six months principally were the result of: 1.) Increased sales unit volumes by the vegetable and pickle operations, and 2.) Sales of acquired vegetables operations. Overall pricing for the second quarter and the six months ended November 26, 1995, was below last year's level principally the result of lower vegetable sell prices. Sales volumes for the balance of the Specialty Food Products operations exceeded sales volumes for both the second quarter and six months a year ago. Specialty Food Products second quarter and six months earnings were $19.5 million and $32.5 million, respectively, compared with $27.1 million and $45.5 million for the comparable periods last year. The decline in earnings both for the second quarter and six months principally were the result of lower earnings of the frozen and canned vegetable operations and pickle operations. Lower vegetable selling prices and higher promotional costs, encountered during the first quarter this year compared to last year, continued in the second quarter reflecting intense competitive activity as a result of the increased industry-wide carryover inventory levels from the 1994 pack. Adverse weather conditions in the Midwest vegetable growing areas resulted in increased processing costs due to the lower 1995 pack. The pickle operations earnings were adversely affected by increased processing costs as a result of spring and early summer weather related conditions in the Southeast growing areas. Selling prices for certain canned vegetables have increased and frozen vegetable selling price improvements have commenced. Vegetable and pickle sales volumes both for the second quarter and the six months were greater than volumes for the comparable periods last year. Delivery, selling and administrative expenses for the second quarter and the six months ended November 26, 1995, increased 5.0% and 8.0%, respectively, over the corresponding periods last year principally the result of: 1.) Expenses of business acquired. 2.) Increased marketing expense associated with new product introductions. 3.) Expenses associated with the increased sales volumes and entry into new markets. 8 9 Interest expense for the second quarter of $7.2 million and $12.9 million for the six months ended November 26, 1995, increased 27.9% and 24.0%, respectively, over interest expense for the corresponding periods a year ago. The increases both for the second quarter and the six months reflected the interest on increased borrowings associated with business acquisitions and higher prevailing interest rates during the second quarter and the six months as compared to rates during the corresponding periods a year ago. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter was 41.0% which was the same rate for the second quarter last year. The effective rate for the six months ended November 26, 1995, was 40.7% compared with 41.0% for the same period last year. 9 10 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
