periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Genuine Parts Company (the "Company") reported record sales and earnings in the
second quarter of 1999. Sales for the quarter were $2.0 billion, up 25% over the
same period in 1998. Net income in the quarter advanced 8% to $92.6 million. On
a per-share diluted basis, net income in the quarter was $.52 versus $.48 in the
same quarter of the prior year, an increase of 8%.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, sales totaled $3.9 billion, up 24% over
the first half of 1998, while net income was $178.6 million, an increase of 8%.
Diluted earnings per share were $.99 for the first six months of 1999 and $.92
for the same period in 1998, an increase of 8%.
Sales would have increased 6% in the second quarter of 1999, over the second
quarter of 1998, if the impact of acquisitions made after June 30, 1998 is
excluded. Sales for the Automotive Parts Group increased 25% for the quarter and
increased 4%, if the impact of acquisitions in 1999 is excluded. The sales
increase is reflective of the general softness in the automotive aftermarket.
Sales for the Industrial Parts Group increased 7% for the quarter reflecting
continued slight improvement in the overall industrial market. The Office
Products Group was up 11% for the quarter reflecting steady sales progress in a
very competitive environment. EIS, the Electrical/Electronic Materials Group
acquired on July 1,1998, had sales of $258 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999. Cost of goods sold increased slightly as a percentage of net sales
compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Selling, administrative and
other expenses increased 30% for the quarter (8% increase
5
6
excluding acquisitions) and the percentage of selling, administrative and other
expenses to net sales increased slightly, reflecting increased salaries,
acquisition costs and costs of upgrading/improving facilities.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities remains very good at 3.04 to
1 and the Company's cash position is excellent.
Impact of Year 2000
The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs written using two
digits (rather than four) to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, which could result in miscalculations
or system failures.
The Company is continuing its assessments of the impact of the Year 2000 across
its business and operations, including its customer and vendor base. The Company
has substantially completed its identification of information technology systems
that are not Year 2000 compliant and is in the process of implementing a
comprehensive initiative to make its information technology systems ("IT
systems") and its non-information technology systems ("non-IT systems"),
including embedded electronic circuits in equipment, building security, product
handling and environmental controls, Year 2000 compliant. The initiative covers
the following three phases: (1) identification of all IT and non-IT systems and
an assessment of repair requirements, (2) repair of the identified IT and non-IT
systems, and (3) testing of the IT and non-IT systems repaired to determine
correct manipulation of dates and date-related data. As of June 30, 1999, the
Company has substantially completed phase (1) and phase (2) of its initiative
and has begun phase (3). The Company anticipates that it will substantially
complete phase (3) by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1999 at which time
it will complete its final testing phase.
To date, the Company has not identified any IT or non-IT system that presents a
material risk of not being Year 2000 ready or for which a suitable alternative
cannot be implemented. However, as the initiative moves further into the testing
phase, it is possible that the Company may identify potential risks of Year 2000
disruption. It is also possible that such a disruption could have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations. In
addition, if any third parties who provide goods or services or that are
customers that are critical to the Company's business activities fail to
appropriately address their Year 2000 issues, there could be a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The
Company is still in the process of modifying or replacing certain time-sensitive
software programs and other date sensitive devices to avoid a potential
inability to process transactions or engage in other normal business activities.
The Company has initiated and substantially completed formal communications with
substantially all of its significant business partners to evaluate their Year
2000 compliance plans and status of readiness, including upgrading of embedded
technology devices in products the Company purchases. These communications
include determining the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to those third
parties' failure to remedy their own Year 2000 conversion issues. However, there
can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the Company's
system rely will be timely converted or that a failure to convert by another
company or a conversion that is incompatible with the Company's systems would
not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company has identified and prioritized any embedded technology devices which
may be deemed to be mission critical or that tend to have a significant impact
on normal operations. The Company has developed a separate plan to upgrade these
higher priority embedded technology devices. Management has completed these
activities as of June 30, 1999.
The Company could potentially experience disruptions to some aspects of its
various activities and operations as a result of non-compliant systems utilized
by the Company or unrelated third parties. Contingency plans are, therefore,
under development to mitigate the extent of any such potential disruption to
business operations.
The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to reprogram, or
replace, and test the software for Year 2000 modifications. The total estimated
cost of the Year 2000 project is estimated between $7 million and $10 million
and is being funded through operating cash flows. These costs are not expected
to be material to the Company's consolidated results of operations. Of the total
project cost, approximately $3 million is attributable to the purchase of new
software or equipment, which will be capitalized. The remaining $4 million to $7
million is expensed as incurred. To date, the Company has expensed approximately
$5.5 million related to the assessment of and preliminary efforts in connection
with its Year 2000 project. The costs attributable to the Year 2000 exclude
costs incurred by the Company for replacement of hardware and implementation of
new systems which were undertaken for operating reasons. The implementation of
new systems has been in progress for the past three to five years.
The costs of the Year 2000 project and the date which the Company plans to
complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates,
which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events including the
continued availability of certain resources, third party modification plans and
other factors. There can be no guarantee that these
6
7
estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those
plans. Specific factors that might cause such material differences include, but
are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area,
the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar
uncertainties.
Forward-Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act) provides a safe
harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The
Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or verbal
forward-looking statements, including statements contained in our Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in our reports to
shareholders. All statements which address operating performance, events or
developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, including
statements relating to revenue, market share and net income growth, or
statements expressing general optimism about future operating results, are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. The forward-looking
statements are and will be based on management's then current views and
assumptions regarding future events and operating performance. There are many
factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated by statements made herein. Such factors include, but are not limited
to, changes in general economic conditions, the growth rate of the market for
the Company's products and services, the ability to maintain favorable supplier
arrangements and relationships, competitive product and pricing pressures, the
effectiveness of the Company's promotional, marketing and advertising programs,
the Company's ability to discover and correct potential Year 2000 issues and the
ability of third parties to appropriately address their Year 2000 issues,
changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting and taxation
guidance, the uncertainties of litigation, as well as other risks and
uncertainties discussed from time to time in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
