A summary of the period to period changes in the principal items included in the consolidated statements of income is shown below: Comparison of --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13 Weeks 39 Weeks 13 Weeks Ended 9/29/96 Ended 9/29/96 Ended 9/29/96 and 10/1/95 and 10/1/95 and 6/30/96 -------------------- ------------------ ------------------------ Increase (Decrease) (Dollars in Thousands) Net sales $ 2,859 .9% $ 34,225 4.0% $ 46,121 15.9% Cost of goods sold (16,921) (6.9) (2,852) (.5) 27,428 13.7 Selling, general and administrative expenses 943 1.5 9,368 5.5 5,586 9.6 Interest expense 778 12.7 2,885 18.0 652 10.4 Other income (425) (43.1) (1,056) (36.2) (120) (17.6) Income before income taxes 17,634 82.2 23,768 39.0 12,335 46.1 Provision for income taxes 6,124 71.9 9,008 38.2 4,192 40.1 Net income applicable to common shares 11,510 88.9 14,760 39.2 8,143 49.9 Net sales for the quarter increased 1% from the third quarter of 1995 to $336,679,000 reflecting lower than expected shipments as domestic retailers scheduled shipments closer to the time of sale and an increasingly competitive environment in Europe. Sales for the nine months ended September 29, 1996 of $885,091,000, were 4% higher than the same period of 1995. Gross margins continue to show strong improvement over the depressed levels of 1995 due to lower raw material prices and more cost effective manufacturing. Gross margins in the third quarter of 1996 were 32.4% as compared to 26.8% in the same period of 1995. For the nine months ended September 29, 1996, gross margins were 31.7% as compared to 28.7% in the first nine months of 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased moderately in dollars and as a percent of sales for the quarter and the year when compared to 1995 primarily due to increased expenditures for customer service, royalties and international expansion. Interest expense increased with higher levels of debt when compared to the same periods in 1995. -8- 10 Financial Condition The balance sheet reflects the Company's strong financial condition. Debt to total capitalization decreased to 27.8% from the previous quarter's 30.1%. When compared to the same period of 1995, debt to total capitalization increased from 23.0% reflecting the issuance of $100 million of long-term debt during the fourth quarter of 1995. Inventory levels rose in line with requirements to service anticipated fourth quarter shipments. The statement of cash flows indicates that the Company has invested approximately $86 million in additional property, plant and equipment during 1996. These expenditures were mainly for customer service facilities and additional manufacturing capacity as the Company continues to improve manufacturing efficiencies and customer service capabilities. The funds for these expenditures as well as those for Common Stock dividends, the repurchase of treasury shares and the repayment of long-term debt were provided by internally generated funds and short-term borrowings. At quarter-end the Company maintained $209 million in informal lines of credit. The Company utilizes two interest rate swap agreements in the management of its interest rate exposure. These agreements effectively convert a portion of the Company's interest rate exposure from a fixed rate to a floating rate basis, and from a floating rate to a fixed rate basis. The effect of these agreements was to effectively lower interest expense on the Company's long-term debt in the first three quarters of 1996. The Company utilizes cotton futures contracts to set sales prices which are generally set six months to a year in advance of the selling season. Depending upon market conditions, these contracts may be purchased at the time prices are set. Purchasing futures contracts stabilizes the price the Company pays for cotton, thereby limiting the risk of price increases as well as the Company's ability to benefit from price decreases. At September 29, 1996, the Company had outstanding futures contracts that, when combined with other contracts and inventory, exceeded the Company's anticipated 1996 cotton requirements. -9- 11 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
