ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales
Net sales for the first quarter of 1996 decreased 9.2% compared to the
same period in 1995. The decrease in net sales amounted to $16.4 million for
the first quarter, 1996 and was attributable to a decrease in new trailer
sales of $21.9 million offset by an increase in sales of used trailers which
were previously under lease by the Finance Company of approximately $5 million.
The decrease in new trailer sales of $21.9 million for the three-month period
was caused by a 16% decrease in units sold, primarily as a result of weak
market conditions in the domestic trailer industry and the effects of new
product introductions on the Company's plate trailer line, offset by a 3.3%
increase in the average sales price per new trailer sold. The increase in the
average sales price primarily reflects changes in the product mix during the
first quarter of 1996. The Finance Company's lease portfolio increased from
6,700 trailers at March 31, 1995 to 6,858 trailers at March 31, 1996. Lease
revenues, excluding revenue from the sale of leased trailers, as well as
aftermarket parts sales were even with the sales in the same period of 1995.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of sales totaled 5.6% for the first
quarter of 1996 compared to 8.5% for the same period in 1995. The decrease in
the gross profit percentage in 1996 reflects the decrease in net sales, changes
in product mix and increased costs related to the expansion of capacity during
1994 and 1995. The expansion related costs included, among other things,
increased depreciation and labor in the first quarter of 1996. During the
first quarter of 1996 the number of associates increased 7% compared to the
same period of 1995.
Income from Operations
Income from operations for the first quarter of 1996 as a percentage of
net sales was 3.8% versus 7.0% for the same period in 1995. Income from
operations in 1996 was impacted primarily by the decrease in the gross profit
margins previously discussed.
-6-
9
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996
totaled $2.6 million compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 1995. The
increase in interest expense primarily reflects new term and bank line of
credit debt associated with the growth in the leasing operations and increased
working capital requirements, primarily due to the increases in receivables and
inventories.
Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three month period ended March
31, 1996 and 1995 at $1.4 million and $4.7 million respectively, represents
39.2% and 40.3% of pre-tax income for the periods. The effective tax rates are
higher than the Federal statutory rates of 35% due primarily to state income
taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows,
net cash used in operating activities was $36.9 million during the first three
months of 1996 primarily as a result of changes in working capital. Cash was
used in operating activities primarily as a result of the increases in accounts
receivable and inventory coupled with a decrease in accounts payable. These
changes in working capital were primarily the result of the continued weakness
in the domestic trailer market as well as the Company's focus on new product
introductions.
During the first three months of 1996, the lease portfolio (finance
contracts and equipment leased to others) decreased $1.3 million, primarily as
a result of the buyout of equipment previously on finance contracts. In
addition, the Company used $3.1 million of cash for capital expenditures during
the first three months of 1996, principally for the purpose of increasing
manufacturing productivity.
At March 31, 1996, the Company's total debt was $127.1 million compared
to $86.3 million at December 31, 1995. The net increase in the Company's debt
primarily reflects new term debt associated with the increased working capital
requirements due to higher receivables and inventory levels. Also, during
January, 1996, the Company issued $50 million of unsecured 6.41% Series A
Senior Notes due January 31, 2003 and used the proceeds to repay amounts under
the Company's revolving line of credit.
On April 27, 1995, the Company announced that the Board of Directors
authorized a common stock repurchase plan of up to $30 million in the
aggregate. The Company may purchase its common stock in the open market or in
block transactions from time to time as it deems appropriate.
-7-
10
Other sources of funds for capital expenditures, continued expansion of
businesses, potential contingent payments associated with the acquisition of
RoadRailer technology, dividends, principal repayments on debt, stock
repurchase and working capital requirements are expected to be cash from
operations, additional borrowings under the credit facilities and term
borrowings which are negotiated by the Finance Company related to specific new
lease arrangements. The Company believes that these funding sources will be
adequate for its anticipated requirements.
BACKLOG
The Company's backlog of orders was approximately $750 million at March
31, 1996 and $858 million at December 31, 1995. The Company builds trailers to
customer order and does not maintain an inventory of new trailers built in
anticipation of future orders.

[ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP LOGO]
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Wabash National Corporation:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
WABASH NATIONAL CORPORATION (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of
March 31, 1996, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March
31, 1996 and 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Wabash National Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 (not presented herein) and, in our
report dated January 20, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion on that
statement. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet of Wabash National Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been
derived.
