FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Detroit Diesel Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries ("Detroit Diesel" or the "Company") as of September 30, 1997 and the results of its operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 will not necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with the classifications used in 1997. NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES. At September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, inventories (principally using the first-in, first-out method) consist of the following: SEPT. 30, DEC. 31, ($ in millions) 1997 1996 ---- ---- (Unaudited) Productive $ 168.6 $ 161.1 Service parts 96.1 89.8 Remanufactured parts 31.8 34.7 Non-productive 5.0 6.5 -------- ------- $ 301.5 $ 292.1 ======== ======= The components of productive inventory are: Material 49% 48% Work in process 26% 24% Finished product 25% 28% NOTE 3 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Intangible assets include goodwill of $67.1 million and $80.0 million at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. Accumulated amortization of intangible assets as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 was $17.2 million and $13.9 million, respectively. 6 7 Detroit Diesel Corporation Form 10-Q (continued) DETROIT DIESEL CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 4 - SPECIAL CHARGE. During the second quarter of 1996 the Company recorded a special charge of $38.3 million for product coverage expenses and to reduce the value of an investment in Mexico to its estimated fair value. NOTE 5 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE. Primary net income (loss) per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (24,699,566) plus the weighted average dilutive effect of the Company's incentive stock options (136,374 and 74,299) determined using the treasury stock method. Primary net income per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (24,697,316) plus the weighted average dilutive effect of the Company's incentive stock options (208 and 281) determined using the treasury stock method. During 1997, the Company issued 268,000 incentive stock options. Approximately 265,500 options carry an exercise price of $17 per share, while the balance of the options carry an exercise price of $23.94 per share. All of these options vest equally over a four-year period. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company elected to continue the application of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 which recognizes compensation cost based on the value of the equity instrument awarded. If the Company measured compensation cost based on the fair value of the equity instrument awarded, earnings per share would have been unchanged for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997. NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES. The Company is contingently liable for letters of credit and guarantees to banks aggregating approximately $40 million as of September 30, 1997. 7 8 Detroit Diesel Corporation Form 10-Q (continued) ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The percentage relationships between net revenues and other elements of the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the comparative reporting periods were: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------- ------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net revenues 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales 77.6% 77.0% 77.2% 76.9% ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------- Gross profit 22.4% 23.0% 22.8% 23.1% Expenses: Selling and administrative 15.0% 14.8% 15.5% 14.7% Research and development 4.2% 5.5% 4.4% 5.4% Interest .6% .8% .6% .6% Special charge - - - 2.6% ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------- Total 19.8% 21.1% 20.5% 23.3% Income (loss) before income taxes 2.6% 1.9% 2.3% (.2%) Provision (credit) for income taxes 1.0% .4% .9% (.1%) Minority interests - - - - ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------- Net income (loss) 1.6% 1.5% 1.4% (.1%) ============ ============= ============ ============= The Company's net revenues for each of its markets were: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, (In millions) 1997 1996 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- ---- On-Highway Truck $249 $189 $711 $573 Construction & Industrial 78 86 241 265 Automotive 47 50 188 157 Coach & Bus 58 54 178 158 Power Generation 33 34 106 98 Marine 34 38 105 120 Military 25 37 72 87 ----- ----- ------ ------- Total $524 $488 $1,601 $1,458 ===== ===== ====== ======= 8 9 Detroit Diesel Corporation Form 10-Q (continued) THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 NET REVENUES. Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were $524.1 million versus $487.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $36.5 million or 7%. Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $1,601.2 million compared to $1,457.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $143.5 million or 10%. The increase in net revenues reflects the increase in unit sales of 3% and 8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, over the comparable periods of 1996. The increase in unit sales reflects the strength of the North American on-highway heavy-duty truck market in which Company revenues increased 32% for the three months and 24% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 versus the same periods of 1996, along with the growth of the Company's heavy-duty truck market share to 30.2% versus 26.3% at the end of 1996 according to AAMA data. Coach and bus revenues increased 7% for the three months and 13% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, over the comparable periods of 1996 as the Company maintained its strong market share coupled with an increase in Series 60 shipments. The Company's automotive market remains strong as net revenues increased 20% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 versus the same period of 1996. While automotive market revenues have been strong for the first nine months of 1997, the Company anticipates revenues to moderate during the fourth quarter as a result of changeovers in the automotive OEM model programs. The increases in net revenues were somewhat offset by a decrease in the construction & industrial, marine and military markets. The decrease in the construction & industrial market reflects the decrease in sales of Perkins distributed products which were discontinued at the end of 1996. The decrease in the marine market reflects a slow ramp-up to the new Series 2000 marine engine while the decrease in the military market is attributed to reduced U.S. defense spending levels. Net revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 include $2.2 million received by the Company from Outboard Marine Corporation ("OMC") in connection with the proposed acquisition, net of expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the acquisition effort. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $117.2 million, or 22.4% of net revenues, compared to $112.3 million, or 23.0% of net revenues for the corresponding period of 1996. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, gross profit was $365.4 million, or 22.8% of net revenues, compared to $337.2 million, or 23.1% of net revenues, for the corresponding period of 1996. While gross profit increased during these periods, gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was affected by the initial shipment of new products, particularly the Series 2000 and Series 4000 engines, and by increased transportation expenses associated with the increase in unit volume. SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were $78.4 million, or 15.0% of net revenues, compared to $72.5 million, or 14.8% of net revenues, for the corresponding period of 1996. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, selling and administrative expenses were $248.0 million, or 15.5% of net revenues, compared to $213.6 million, or 14.7% of net revenues, for the 9 10 Detroit Diesel Corporation Form 10-Q (continued) corresponding period of 1996. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is associated with the increase in unit volume and the introduction of new products. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses were $22.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared with $26.6 million for the same period of 1996. For the nine months of 1997, research and development expenses were $71.5 million compared with $78.1 million for the nine months of 1996. Research and development expenses during these periods were lower than in prior periods due to the timing of expenditures for product enhancements and new product development during 1997. SPECIAL CHARGE. During the second quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a special charge of $36.3 million for product coverage expenses associated with variability in component machining affecting a limited number of engines used in specific duty cycles. Additionally, the Company reduced the carrying value of an investment in Mexico by $2 million to its estimated fair value. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $3.1 million for the three months and $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared with $3.7 million for the three months and $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 is reported on the basis of the Company's estimated effective annual tax rate for the taxable jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company estimates its effective annual tax rate to be 39% in 1997. NET INCOME/LOSS. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $8.2 million, versus $7.1 million for the comparable period of 1996. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $22.0 million versus a net loss of $.8 million for the comparable period of 1996 when the Company recorded the special charge. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Historically, the Company's primary sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operations and bank borrowings under various revolving lines of credit and bank notes, including the Company's $300 million revolving line of credit, of which approximately $246 million was available as of September 30, 1997. The Company's subsidiary, VM Motori, S.p.A., has an additional $38 million in unsecured, short-term lines of credit with several banks which was available for borrowing at September 30, 1997. Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $45.4 million reflecting the Company's net income for the period, adjusted for non-cash items, plus the changes in working capital associated with the Company's current business levels. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company received a $7.5 million termination fee ($2.2 million, net of expenses) from OMC in connection with the proposed acquisition of that company. (See NET REVENUES.) Capital expenditures were $53 million and $44 million for the first nine months of 1997 and 1996, respectively, and were used to develop a new production facility in Brazil for the production of the Company's automotive products, to upgrade the Company's computer center and to upgrade machinery and tooling to accommodate the Company's new and existing products. 10 11 Detroit Diesel Corporation Form 10-Q (continued) The Company is subject to risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to its operations located outside of the United States, particularly in Italy, Mexico, Brazil and Singapore where the Company has subsidiary activities. The Company expects that it will be able to satisfy on-going cash requirements (including capital expenditures for environmental compliance and other projects), for the next 12 months and thereafter, with cash flow from operations, supplemented, if necessary, by borrowings under its revolving lines of credit. PROSPECTIVE INFORMATION The North American heavy-duty truck market represents approximately 44% of the Company's consolidated net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The Company expects this market to remain a significant part of its business. The overall strength of this market and the requirements to compete in the North American heavy-duty truck market will impact the Company's performance. Management expects that all of its markets, particularly the North American heavy-duty truck market, will experience continued price competition. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings Per Share." This statement is effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 1997. The statement requires companies to present earnings per share on the face of the income statement in two categories called "Basic" and "Diluted" and requires restatement of all periods presented. The Company will adopt Statement No. 128 during the fourth quarter of 1997 and does not anticipate the impact from adoption will have a material impact. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has also issued SFAS Nos. 130 and 131. Statement No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Statement No. 130 requires companies to report a separate statement of comprehensive income in addition to the statement of operations. The adoption of Statement No. 130 will impact the Company's financial statements due to changes in currency translation adjustments and certain other components of the Company's stockholders' equity section which will be included as financial statement disclosures or in a separate Statement of Comprehensive Income. Statement No. 131 requires companies to report certain information about their operating segments, products and services, geographic areas in which they operate and major customers. The Company will adopt the provisions of Statement Nos. 130 and 131 in the first quarter of 1998. 11 12 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF "SAFE HARBOR" UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES REFORM ACT OF 1995 This document may include projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements about the Company, the industry in which it competes and the markets it serves. The achievement of such projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, fully detailed in the "Cautionary Statement for purposes of 'Safe Harbor' under the Private Securities Act of 1995" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 12 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
