During the second quarter of 1997, the company amended its existing credit
facility (as amended, the "Amended Credit Facility") and entered into a
$125,000,000 Term B loan facility. The proceeds of the Term B loan were
used to repay $50 million of the Term A loan and $72 million of the
revolver under the Company's existing revolver credit facility. The
Company is required to make annual amortization payments starting in the
fourth quarter of 1998. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility bear
interest at variable rates and the Company is required to maintain certain
financial covenants as well as adhere to various affirmative and
restrictive covenants.
5. INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision reflects effective tax rates of 35% and 38% for
the three and six months ended July 4, 1997 and June 30, 1996,
respectively.
6. MERGER INTEGRATION CHARGES
In the first quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a pre-tax merger
integration charge of $9,000,000 for the closings of duplicative sales
centers, duplicative distribution centers, and certain manufacturing
facilities, as well as incurrence of severance costs associated with the
elimination of overlapping positions. The majority of the charge is
related to lease commitments on closed facilities and severance costs.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the three and six
months ended July 4, 1997 compared with the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 for Dal-Tile International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the
"Company"). Due to the Company's 52/53 week accounting cycle, the second quarter
of 1997 ended on July 4, 1997. All references herein to the second quarter of
1997 are intended to include the Company's operations for the three-months
ending July 4, 1997.
During the second quarter of 1997 the Company incurred a $24.7 million pre-tax
charge primarily for the write-down of trade accounts receivable and
inventories. The $24.7 million charge is comprised of $8.4 million in cost of
sales and $16.3 million in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Earnings for the quarter, excluding the $24.7 million charge, have been
adversely affected by increased transportation costs and revenue declines
resulting from systems integration delays and sales center consolidation. The
Company believes these factors will continue to adversely affect performance for
the remainder of 1997.
Net Sales
Net sales for the second quarter decreased to $173.7 million in 1997, from
$180.8 million in 1996, a decrease of $7.1 million or 3.9%. Net sales for the
six months ended July 4, 1997 decreased to $341.2 million from $351.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of $10.3 million or 2.9%. The
decrease in net sales was due principally to the negative impact on
Company-operated sales centers caused by the delay in systems integration and
the consolidation of duplicative sales centers since the second quarter of 1996
from the American Olean Acquisition ("AO Acquisition"). The sales center
distribution channel carries a more extensive product offering and has more
complex service requirements and consequently has been most impacted by the
delays in system integration. Increases in net sales from home centers and the
independent distributor channels partially offset the sales center declines.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $11.7 million, or 13.7%, to $73.6 million in the second
quarter of 1997 from $85.3 million in the second quarter of 1996. Gross profit
decreased to $156.8 million for the six months ended July 4, 1997, from $168.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of $11.3 million or
6.7%. The decrease in gross profit is due in part to a $8.4 million charge taken
during the second quarter of 1997 for overstocked and potentially unsalable
inventories. Gross profit was also negatively impacted by adjustments of $5.6
million from the Company's LIFO (Last-in, First out) method of valuing
inventories. The Company expects temporary reductions in production capacity,
implemented to improve inventory management, to negatively impact gross margins
in the second half of 1997.
Gross margin decreased in the second quarter of 1997 to 42.4% from 47.2% in the
second quarter of 1996. Gross margin (excluding the $8.4 million charge taken in
the second quarter of 1997) was 47.2% for the three months ended July 4, 1997
and June 30, 1996. Gross margin decreased for the six months ended July 4, 1997
to 46.0% from 47.8% for the comparable period in 1996. Excluding the $8.4
million charge, gross margin increased to 48.4% for the six months ended July 4,
1997 from 47.8% for the same period in 1996. In 1996, gross margin was impacted
by the high cost manufacturing facilities which were closed in March 1996. The
closing of the Company's high cost facilities in 1996 contributed to the
increase in gross margins for the six months ended July 4, 1997; such increase
was offset in part by the Company's LIFO adjustments.
PAGE 9
Expenses
Expenses increased to $85.5 million in the second quarter of 1997 from $63.4
million in the second quarter of 1996. Expenses in 1997 include a $16.3 million
charge in the second quarter primarily to reserve for uncollectible receivables
and termination of computer leases. Expenses (excluding the $16.3 million charge
taken in the second quarter of 1997) increased to $69.2 for the second quarter
of 1997 from $63.4 for the same period in 1996. For the full year, expenses
increased to $151.4 million for the six months ended July 4, 1997 from $131.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Expenses, excluding the $16.3
million charge in 1997 and a $9.0 million merger integration charge in the first
quarter of 1996, increased to $135.1 for the six months ended July 4, 1997 from
$122.9 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The increases are due to the
continued distribution and operating costs resulting from the delay in systems
integration and the consolidation of eleven distribution centers to three
mega-distribution centers.
Expenses as a percent of sales in the second quarter (excluding the charge)
increased to 39.8% in 1997 from 35.1% in 1996. For the six months, expenses as a
percent of sales (excluding the 1997 and 1996 charges) increased to 39.6% in
1997 from 35.0% in 1996. Expenses as a percent of sales have increased as a
result of lower sales and increased expenses.
Merger Integration Charges
In the first quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a pre-tax non-recurring
merger integration charge of $9.0 million for the closing of duplicative sales
centers, consolidation of the Company's distribution system, manufacturing
facility closings and severance costs associated with the elimination of
overlapping positions. The majority of the charge is related to lease
commitments on closed facilities and severance costs.
Operating Income (loss)
Operating income decreased to a loss of $11.9 million in the second quarter of
1997 from income of $21.9 million for the same period in 1996. Operating income
(excluding the $24.7 million second quarter 1997 charge) decreased to $12.8 in
the second quarter of 1997 compared to $21.9 for the same period in 1996. The
company had operating income of $5.4 million for the six months ended July 4,
1997 as compared to $36.2 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. For the full
year (excluding the charges in 1997 and 1996) operating income decreased to
$30.1 million in 1997 from $45.2 million in 1996. The decrease in operating
income is due principally to decreased sales, increased costs related to the
delay in systems integration and increased transportation costs resulting from
the consolidation of the distribution centers.
Interest Expense (Net)
Interest expense (net) decreased to $9.3 million in the second quarter of 1997
from $13.6 million in 1996 and $17.4 million for the six months ended July 4,
1997 from $27.4 million in 1996. Interest expense (net) decreased as a result of
interest savings from the refinancing of the Company's debt concurrent with the
Company's initial public offering which occurred in the third quarter of 1996.
PAGE 10
Income Taxes
The income tax provision reflects effective tax rates of 35% and 38% for the
three and six months ended July 4, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively.
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the $24.7 million charge, the company had a net loss in the
second quarter of 1997 of $13.8 million as compared to net income of $4.9
million in the second quarter of 1996. Net income in the second quarter of 1997,
excluding the $24.7 million charge, was $2.3 million. The company had a net loss
of $7.3 million for the six months ended July 4, 1997 as compared to net income
of $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Net income (excluding
the charges in 1997 and 1996) decreased to $8.8 million in 1997 from $11.4
million in 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Company's principal sources of cash have been from operating
activities and bank borrowings. Cash used in operating activities was $51.3
million for the six months ended July 4, 1997 and $15.7 million for the same
period in 1996. Cash was used in 1997 principally to fund increases in
inventories and trade accounts receivable.
Inventories have increased as a result of multiple inventory systems which
limited the management of inventories between sales centers and distribution
centers. Inventories have also been impacted by lower sales and new product
introductions. The Company recently completed the conversion to one fully
integrated system which will improve inventory management. In addition,
production levels have been temporarily reduced, which is expected to improve
inventory management but will negatively impact gross margins, in the second
half of 1997. Trade accounts receivable have increased due to extended terms
granted to customers and limited access by sales centers personnel to certain
customer account information. Systems improvements have begun to provide sales
center personnel improved and more timely data to monitor customer accounts. The
company is implementing more stringent credit policies and a combination of
centralized and decentralized collection responsibilities. Although progress is
being made in inventory and accounts receivable management, there is no
certainty that additional writedowns will not be required in the second half of
1997.
During the second quarter, the Company completed a new $125 million Term B loan
facility which made certain modifications to its existing credit facility (as
amended, the "Amended Credit Facility"). The proceeds of the new term loan were
used to repay $50 million of the Term A loan and $72 million of the revolver
under the Company's existing revolver credit facility. Total availability as of
July 4, 1997 under the Company's revolving credit facility was $83 million.
Loans under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest initially at LIBOR plus 1
3/4%. The Company is required to make minimal annual amortization payments in
respect to the new term loan starting in the fourth quarter of 1998 with final
maturity on December 31, 2003. The Amended Credit Facility includes an
additional financial covenant and is being secured by certain assets of the
Company. The Company believes cash flow from operating activities, together with
borrowings available under the Amended Credit Facility, will be sufficient to
fund future working capital needs, capital expenditures, and debt service
requirements of the Company in the foreseeable future.
PAGE 11
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $28.7 million for the six
months ended July 4, 1997. The expenditures were used to fund modifications and
startup costs of the recently acquired floor tile plant in Mt. Gilead, North
Carolina, floor tile expansion in Mexico, routine capital improvements and the
integration of management information systems after the AO Acquisition. Capital
expenditures during the second half of 1997 will be comprised of the continued
integration of management information systems and the completion of expanded
manufacturing capacity in El Paso, Texas and Dallas, Texas. The Company's
ability to continue to expand its manufacturing facilities in the future will be
dependent on cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Amended
Credit Facility.
Cash provided by financing activities was $61.6 million for the first half of
1997, which reflects borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility
and the $125 million Term B loan facility.
The Company is involved in various judicial and administrative proceedings
relating to environmental matters. The Company is currently engaged in
environmental investigation and remediation programs at certain sites relating
to activities prior to the AO Acquisition in December 1995 and prior to January
9, 1990 when AEA Investors Inc., a privately held corporation headquartered in
New York, arranged for Dal-Tile International Inc. to acquire all of the
outstanding capital stock of Dal-Tile Corporation, its affiliated companies and
certain related assets (the "AEA Acquisition"). The Company maintains a reserve
for remediation relating to environmental conditions and activities existing
prior to the AEA Acquisition, and is entitled to indemnification with respect to
certain expenditures incurred in connection with environmental matters. It does
not expect the ultimate liability with respect to such investigation and
remediation activities to have a material effect on the Company's liquidity and
financial condition. In addition, with respect to the investigation and
remediation programs relating to environmental conditions and activities prior
to the AO Acquisition, the Company believes that, based on currently available
information and the terms and conditions of Armstrong World Industries (AWI's)
indemnification obligations under the AO Acquisition Agreement (as defined), any
liability of AO that is reasonably likely to arise with respect to such sites
would not result in a material adverse effect on the Company.
The United States is a party to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
("GATT"). Under GATT, the United States currently imposes import duties on
ceramic tile from non-North American countries at 17%, to be reduced ratably to
8 1/2% by 2005. Accordingly, GATT may stimulate competition from non-North
American manufacturers who now export, or who may seek to export, ceramic tile
to the United States. The Company cannot predict with certainty the effect that
GATT may have on the Company's operations.
Effects of Inflation
The Company believes it has generally been able to increase selling prices and
productivity to offset increases in costs resulting from inflation in the U.S.
and Mexico. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's results of
operations during the six months ended July 4, 1997 and June 30, 1996.
Approximately 90% of the Company's inventory is valued using the LIFO inventory
accounting method. Therefore, current costs are reflected in cost of sales
rather than in inventory balances. The impact of inflation in Mexico has not had
a significant impact on the six months ended July 4, 1997 operating results,
however, the future impact is uncertain at this time.
