Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1996 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. (2) Income Per Share ---------------- Income per share is determined on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period with the 1995 data adjusted for the ten percent stock dividend paid in August, 1995. (3) Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information ------------------------------------------------ The Company made cash payments for interest expense of $396,982 and $210,954 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Cash payments for income taxes were $1,269,618 and $329,216 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 7 -6- PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ------------------------------ MYERS INDUSTRIES, INC. ---------------------- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased $5,053,279 or 7.5 percent over the same period in 1995. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of Ameri-Kart Corp. which was acquired in June, 1995. Cost of sales for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 increased $1,913,455 or 4.1 percent over the period ended March 31, 1995. This was attributable to the increase in sales. Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of sales, increased to 33.6 percent in 1996 from 31.4 percent for the three month period in 1995 primarily due to lower raw material costs in the Manufacturing segment. Operating expenses increased $520,672 or 3.5 percent for the three month period ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. Operating expenses, expressed as a percentage of sales, decreased to 21.1 percent as compared to 21.9 percent in 1995 as the result of cost controls and greater fixed expense coverage. Net interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 increased to $169,538 compared to $99,435 for the same period in 1995. The increase was attributable to both higher average levels of debt and higher interest rates in the current year. Income taxes, expressed as a percentage of income before income taxes, increased to 41.2 percent for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from the 40.4 percent in the same period in 1995. The higher effective tax rate reflects an increase in non-deductible amortization expense and foreign tax rate differences. 8 -7- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Company's financial position continues to be solid. Cash provided from operating activities is the primary source of liquidity and amounted to $12,959,188 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996. During the quarter long-term debt was reduced by $6,357,862 and total debt at March 31, 1995, expressed as a percentage of total capitalization, decreased to 4.7 percent as compared to 9.0 percent at December 31, 1995. Working capital decreased to $65,519,612 at March 31, 1996 from $68,715,271 at December 31, 1995. During the quarter, capital expenditures were $4,416,457. The Company currently anticipates capital expenditures in the range of $15.0 to $20.0 million per year over the next five years, primarily for increased polymer manufacturing capacity. Management believes that anticipated cash flows from operations and available credit facilities will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures and meet its short-term and long-term operating needs. 9 -8- PART II - OTHER INFORMATION --------------------------- MYERS INDUSTRIES, INC. ---------------------- Item 6.
