ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Consolidated net sales increased to $716,796,000 during the first quarter of
1995, improving 12.1 percent over last year. Sales in all operating regions of
the Paint Stores Segment exceeded last year, leading to an overall increase of
13.3 percent for this Segment in the first quarter. Sales to wholesale
customers, which include professional, contractor, industrial and commercial
maintenance accounts, remained strong. Sales in the Coatings Segment increased
10.5 percent over last year. Improvements were generated from increased volume
related to new business obtained during 1994, as well as sales increases in the
automotive branches and several specialty product lines. Revenue generated by
real estate operations in the Other Segment decreased 2.3 percent from 1994.
Consolidated gross profit as a percent of sales decreased in the quarter to
40.8 percent from last year's 41.0 percent. Margins in the Paint Stores
Segment decreased from last year due to difficulties in implementing selling
price increases. The Coatings Segment's gross margins increased over 1994's
first quarter primarily due to successful implementation of selective selling
price increases combined with the realization of manufacturing efficiencies,
which lessened the effect of increased raw materials costs.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales
for the first quarter were lower than last year. The Paint Stores Segment's
SG&A percentage was favorable to last year due to the increased sales combined
with lower-than-planned spending. In the Coatings Segment, SG&A expenses as a
percent of sales were higher than last year due primarily to increased market
penetration costs incurred by the Consumer Brands Division in pursuit of new
business, offset somewhat by lower-than-planned spending in the Specialty and
Automotive Divisions.
Interest expense decreased by 34.5 percent from the first quarter of 1994 due
to the normal maturities of long-term debt and the acquisition of certain
outstanding long-term 9.875% debentures during the second quarter of 1994. Net
investment income was above last year primarily due to increased yields.
Royalty income increased significantly over the first quarter of 1994 due to
the receipt of a dividend from an unconsolidated subsidiary. This was offset,
however, by an increase in the net expense of financing and investing
activities, as well as increased provisions for disposition and termination of
operations and for environmental remediation.
Net income for the first quarter of 1995 increased to $18,733,000 or $.22 per
share from $15,508,000 or $.17 per share in 1994. The increase in earnings
per share was partially due to a lower number of average shares outstanding
caused by significant treasury stock purchases made during 1994.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
The Company remains in a strong financial position at the end of the first
quarter of 1995. Working capital as a percent of sales decreased to 18.8
percent from 19.3 percent last year. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $113.4
million since year end due primarily to capital expenditures of $22.1 million,
cash dividends of $13.6 million and normal operating needs for seasonally
higher accounts receivable and inventories. A decrease in the current ratio to
1.86 from 1.97 at March 31, 1994 occurred primarily due to an increase in
accounts payable and other accruals.
9
Since March 31, 1994, cash and cash equivalents increased $22.1 million,
primarily due to cash generated by operations of $265 million offset by
treasury stock acquisitions of $106.2 million, capital expenditures of $82.8
million, payments of cash dividends totaling $49.7 million, a reduction in
long-term debt of $19.2 million, acquisitions of assets of $16.6 million and
normal working capital needs. Short-term borrowings were not utilized during
the first quarter of 1995. The Company believes that sufficient cash flows
should be generated from operations to remain in an investment position for the
remainder of 1995.
Capital expenditures during the first quarter of 1995 represented primarily the
cost of remerchandising, remodeling or relocating paint stores, the
construction or expansion of distribution centers and the continued upgrade at
manufacturing and research facilities. We do not anticipate the need for any
external financing to support our capital programs.
During the first quarter of 1995, approximately 34,700 shares of our own stock
were received in exchange from the exercise of stock options. We did not
acquire any of our own stock through open market purchases during this time
period. We acquire our own stock from time to time for general corporate
purposes and, depending upon our cash position and market conditions, we may
acquire shares of our own stock in the future.
The Company and certain other companies are defendants in lawsuits arising from
the manufacture and sale of lead pigments and lead paints. It is possible that
additional lawsuits may be filed against the Company in the future with similar
allegations. The various existing lawsuits seek damages for personal injuries
and property damage, which include in several cases the costs incurred to abate
the lead related paint from buildings. The Company believes that such lawsuits
are without merit and is vigorously defending them. The Company does not
believe that any potential liability which may ultimately be determined to be
attributable to the Company arising out of such lawsuits will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition.
The operations of the Company, like those of other companies in our industry,
are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and
regulations. These laws and regulations not only govern our current operations
and products, but also impose potential liability on the Company for past
operations which were conducted utilizing practices and procedures that were
considered acceptable under the laws and regulations existing at that time.
The Company expects the environmental laws and regulations to impose
increasingly stringent requirements upon the Company and our industry in the
future. The Company believes it conducts its operations in compliance with
applicable environmental laws and regulations and has implemented various
programs designed to protect the environment and ensure continued compliance.
The Company is involved with environmental compliance and remediation
activities at some of its current and former sites. The Company, together with
other parties, has also been designated a potentially responsible party under
federal and state environmental protection laws for the remediation of
hazardous waste at a number of third-party sites, primarily Superfund sites.
In general, these laws provide that potentially responsible parties may be held
jointly and severally liable for investigation and remediation costs regardless
of fault. The Company may be similarly designated with respect to additional
third-party sites in the future.
Although the Company continuously assesses its potential liability for
remediation activities with respect to its past operations and third-party
sites, any potential liability ultimately determined to be attributable to the
Company is subject to a number of uncertainties including, among others, the
number of parties involved with respect to any given site, the volumetric
contribution which may be attributed to the Company relative to that
attributable to other parties, the nature and magnitude of the wastes involved,
and the method and extent of remediation. The Company has accrued for certain
environmental remediation activities relating to its past operations and
third-party sites, including Superfund sites, for which commitments or clean-up
plans have been developed or for which costs or minimum costs can be reasonably
estimated. These environmental-related accruals are adjusted as information
10
becomes available upon which more accurate costs can be reasonably estimated.
In the opinion of the Company's management, any potential liability ultimately
attributed to the Company for its environmental-related matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, liquidity or cash
flow.
