J. HEINZ COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (1) The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations which follows these notes contains additional information on the results of operations and the financial position of the company. Those comments should be read in conjunction with these notes. The company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 27, 1994 includes additional information about the company, its operations, and its financial position, and should be read in conjunction with this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. (2) The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year due to the seasonal nature of the company's business. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with the fiscal 1995 presentation. (3) In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations of these interim periods have been included. (4) The composition of inventories at the balance sheet dates was as follows: July 27, 1994 April 27, 1994 ------------- ------------- (Thousands of Dollars) Finished goods and work-in-process....................................... $ 869,710 $ 851,944 Packaging material and ingredients....................................... 302,247 293,803 ------------- ------------- $ 1,171,957 $ 1,145,747 ============= ============= (5) The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state, U.S. possessions and foreign income taxes. The company operates in an international environment with significant operations in various locations outside the United States. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations and the applicable tax rates. (6) On September 6, 1994, the company replaced its line of credit agreements supporting domestic commercial paper. The new line of credit agreements total $1.6 billion, of which $800 million expires on September 5, 1995 unless otherwise extended and the remaining $800 million expires in September 1999. As a result, $800 million of the $1.1 billion domestic commercial paper outstanding is classified as long-term debt at July 27, 1994. Fiscal year 1994 domestic line of credit agreements of $1.5 billion have been terminated. As of fiscal year end 1994, $750 million of domestic commercial paper was classified as long-term debt. (7) On May 16, 1994, the company acquired the Borden Foodservice Group, a unit of Borden, Inc. The group's product range includes a single-serve line of condiments. On July 22, 1994, the company announced the completion of the acquisition of the Farley's infant food and adult nutrition business from The Boots Company PLC of Nottingham, England for a total purchase price of approximately $140 million. Farley's product offerings include a wide range of infant feeding products from formulas to post-weaning biscuits, cereals and dry meals. During the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the company also made other small acquisitions. All of the above acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the respective purchase prices have been allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of the dates of the acquisitions. Operating results of these acquisitions have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Income from the dates of the acquisitions. Pro forma results of the company, assuming the above-noted acquisitions had been made at the beginning of each period presented, would not be materially different from the results reported. 6 H. J. HEINZ COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Unaudited) (8) On August 9, 1994, the company entered into an agreement with Glaxo India Limited, based in Bombay, to acquire Glaxo's Family Products Division, which produces a wide range of nutritional drinks, baby foods and other consumer products. All necessary corporate approvals to complete the transaction have been obtained, but the closing is subject to final governmental approvals. 7 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 27, 1994 AND JULY 28, 1993 Results of Operations For the three months ended July 27, 1994, sales increased $152.8 million or 10% to $1,736.1 million from $1,583.3 million recorded in the same period a year ago. The sales increase came primarily from volume increases of 7%, acquisitions, net of divestitures of 2% and price increases of one percent. The effect of foreign exchange translation rates was negligible on the results of the quarter. Volume increases were noted in many of the company's core products, such as StarKist tuna, Heinz grocery ketchup, Heinz petfoods, Ore-Ida frozen potatoes and foodservice, which exhibited strong growth in Heinz ketchup. Price increases on Heinz grocery ketchup, Heinz babyfood and Ore-Ida foodservice frozen potatoes were partially offset by price decreases in Heinz petfoods, Heinz beans and Heinz pasta. Although the Weight Watchers businesses (meetings and foods) were down slightly for the quarter, recent indicators show that the downward trend experienced throughout last year is slowing. Attendance increased in markets where new marketing programs were tested and, as a result, it is expected that both of these businesses will exhibit improved performance when the marketing programs are fully implemented later this year. Gross profit increased $14.7 million to $634.6 million from $620.0 million a year ago. The ratio of gross profit to sales decreased 2.6% to 36.6%. The current year's gross profit ratio was negatively impacted by an unfavorable profit mix related to recent acquisitions and divestitures and higher foodservice sales, partially offset by lower costs and operating improvements resulting from the implementation of the restructuring strategy. The prior year's gross profit ratio was favorably impacted by the divestiture of the Chico-San rice cake business and lower costs associated with restructuring projects. Operating income increased $13.5 million or 5.0% to $286.8 million from $273.2 million for the same period last year. The increase in operating income is directly attributable to the increase in gross profit. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million but decreased slightly as a percentage of net sales, reflecting lower administrative costs, offset by higher volume-driven selling and distribution costs. Net interest expense increased slightly to $31.3 million from $30.7 million in the first quarter a year ago mainly due to higher average short-term borrowings and higher short-term interest rates, offset by the favorable effect of the refinancing of certain long-term debt issuances. Net income for the current quarter was $154.7 million compared to $152.2 million for the same period last year and earnings per share was $0.62 compared to $0.59. The effective tax rate for the first quarter increased to 37.5% from 35.0%. The fiscal 1994 effective tax rate of 35.0% resulted from the recognition of the benefits attributable to prior years' operating losses overseas and a reduction in the statutory rate in Australia. The reduction in the number of common shares outstanding offset the effect of the higher tax rate on earnings per share. Liquidity and Financial Position Cash provided by operating activities totaled $105.8 million for the three month period ended July 27, 1994 compared to $206.3 million last year. Cash provided by operations in the first quarter of the prior year benefited from a $249.4 million reduction in receivables related to the company's trade "de-loading" strategy. Cash used by investing activities required $278.1 million compared to $196.7 million last year. Cash used for acquisitions in the current quarter totaled $209.4 million and resulted from the following 8 acquisitions: Farley's infant foods and adult nutrition business from The Boots Company PLC on July 22, 1994; the Borden Foodservice Group, a unit of Borden, Inc.; DEGA, a foodservice products company located in Italy; and other smaller acquisitions. The prior year's acquisitions included the purchase of the Moore's and Domani product lines from the Clorox Company for approximately $90.0 million, which was partially offset by the proceeds received from the divestiture of Chico-San and other small businesses. Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $60.6 million, compared to $71.2 million a year ago. Financing activities provided $160.7 million in the current quarter compared to using $11.4 million a year ago. Net proceeds on short-term debt provided $315.5 million in the current period versus providing $45.3 million in the prior year's first quarter. Short-term debt proceeds were used to finance treasury stock purchases of $89.1 million (2.7 million shares) and dividend payments of $81.9 million in the quarter ended July 27, 1994. As of July 27, 1994, the company has repurchased approximately 8.7 million shares of the currently authorized 10.0 million share repurchase program. On September 6, 1994, the company replaced its line of credit agreements supporting domestic commercial paper. The new line of credit agreements total $1.6 billion, of which $800 million expires on September 5, 1995 unless otherwise extended and the remaining $800 million expires in September 1999. As a result, $800 million of the $1.1 billion domestic commercial paper outstanding is classified as long-term debt at July 27, 1994. Fiscal year 1994 domestic line of credit agreements of $1.5 billion have been terminated. As of fiscal year end 1994, $750 million of domestic commercial paper was classified as long-term debt. The company's financial position continues to remain strong, enabling it to meet cash requirements for operations, capital expansion programs and dividends to shareholders. Recent Development On August 9, 1994, the company entered into an agreement with Glaxo India Limited, based in Bombay, to acquire Glaxo's Family Products Division, which produces a wide range of nutritional drinks, baby foods and other consumer products. All necessary corporate approvals to complete the transaction have been obtained, but the closing is subject to final governmental approvals. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of fiscal 1995. 9 PART II--OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Mayaguez Water Treatment Company, Inc.
