Dividends. Dividends paid during the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were based on 24,445,392 and 24,344,003 respectively, common shares outstanding on the applicable dates of record. 4. Earnings per share. Earnings per share for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were based on average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding of 24,792,964 and 24,548,015, respectively. 5. Contingencies. The Company is involved as a "potentially responsible party" at five former public waste disposal sites which may be subject to remediation under pending government procedures. The sites are in various stages of evaluation by federal and state environmental authorities. The projected cost of remediating these sites, as well as the Company's alleged "fair share" allocation, is uncertain and speculative until all studies have been completed and the parties have either negotiated an amicable resolution or the matter has been judicially resolved. At each site, there are many other parties who have similarly been identified, and the identification and location of additional parties is continuing under applicable federal or state law. Many of the other parties identified are financially strong and solvent companies which appear able to pay their share of the remediation costs. Based on the Company's preliminary information about the waste disposal practices at these sites and the environmental regulatory process in general, the Company believes that it is likely that ultimate remediation liability costs for each site will be apportioned among all liable parties, including site owners and waste transporters, according to the volumes and/or toxicity of the wastes shown to have been disposed of at the sites. The Company is a defendant in numerous pending lawsuits (which include, in many cases, multiple claimants) which seek to recover damages for alleged personal injury allegedly resulting from exposure to asbestos containing products formerly manufactured and distributed by the Company. A high percentage of these claims was assumed by the Company in 1995 as the result of the merger of Durametallic Corporation. All such products were used within self-contained process equipment, and management does not believe that there was any emission of ambient asbestos fiber during the use of this equipment. The Company has resolved numerous claims at an average of about $120 per claim, the cost of which was fully paid by insurance. The Company continues to have a substantial amount of available insurance from financially solvent carriers to cover the cost of both defending and resolving the claims. The Company is also a defendant in several other products liability lawsuits which are insured, subject to the applicable deductibles, and certain other non-insured lawsuits received in the ordinary course of business. The Company has fully accrued the estimated loss reserve for each such lawsuit. No insurance recovery has been projected for any of the insured claims because management currently believes that all will be resolved within applicable deductibles. Although none of the aforementioned gives rise to any additional liability that can now be reasonably estimated, it is possible that the Company could incur additional costs in the range of $250,000 to $1,000,000 over the upcoming five years to fully resolve these matters. Although the Company has accrued the minimum end of this range as a precaution, management has no current reason to believe that any such increase is probable or quantifiable. The Company will continue to evaluate these contingent loss exposures and, if they develop, recognize expense as soon as such losses can be reasonably estimated. 8 6. Merger. On November 30, 1995, the Company merged with Durametallic Corporation. The acquisition was accounted for under the pooling of interests method of accounting, and accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated for all periods prior to the acquisition to include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Durametallic. --------------------------------------------- The financial information contained in this report is unaudited, but, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for the period have been made. 9 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Capital Resources and Liquidity - Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 The Company's capital structure, consisting of long-term debt, deferred items and shareholders' equity, continues to enable the Company to finance short-and long-range business objectives. At March 31, 1996, long-term debt was 16.6% of the Company's capital structure, compared to 16.9% at December 31, 1995. Based upon annualized 1996 results, the interest coverage ratio of the Company's indebtedness was 12.5 at March 31, 1996, compared with 10.7 for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995, reflecting the improvement in net earnings in 1996 over 1995. The return on average net assets at March 31, 1996 was 13.9% based upon 1996 annualized results, compared to 11.5% at December 31, 1995. Annualized return on average shareholders' equity was 20.3% at March 31, 1996, compared to 16.6% at December 31, 1995. Increases in these returns reflect the Company's improved level of profitability. Management continues to focus on improving its performance in these areas. Capital spending in 1996 is expected to be approximately $17.5 million, compared with $13.3 million in 1995. The 1996 expenditures will be invested in new and replacement products, international market development and general manufacturing equipment upgrades. The Company's liquidity position is reflected in a current ratio of 2.7 to 1 at March 31, 1996. This compares to 2.5 to 1 at December 31, 1995. Cash in excess of current requirements was invested in high-grade, short-term securities. Cash and amounts available under borrowing arrangements will be adequate to fund operating needs and capital expenditures through the coming year. Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were a record of $149.2 million, compared to net sales of $122.7 million for the same period in 1995. The 21.6% increase in net sales reflects strong global shipments from all operations and across all geographic regions. The Company's sales mix during the quarter contained an unusually large amount of major project activity which reflects the Company's aggressive pursuit of new construction projects in Asia and in the Americas. Foreign contributions to consolidated net sales were 33.6% and 33.1% for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Total net sales to foreign customers including export sales from the U.S. were 40.3% and 38.5%, respectively. The increase in foreign contributions reflects higher levels of shipments into the Asian and Latin/South American markets. Record incoming business of $157.0 million for the first three months of 1996 exceeded incoming business of $126.4 million during the same period in 1995 by 24.2%. The 1996 incoming business level reflected strong activity throughout the global organization. Incoming 10 business in the Asian and American markets was particularly strong during the first three months of 1996 compared with 1995. Backlog at March 31, 1996 was $112.3 million, compared with a backlog of $101.4 million at December 31, 1995. The gross profit margin was 40.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. This compares to 40.9% for the same period in 1995. The decrease in the margin reflects the impact of an unusually large number of major project shipments in the first quarter of 1996. Due to the competitive nature of the pricing for such projects, the Company has historically realized lower margins on major project activity. In addition, severe weather conditions in January and February at several of the Company's manufacturing facilities in the United States resulted in inefficiencies and increased overtime pay. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were 24.4%, compared to 25.8% for the same period in 1995. The decrease in expense as a percentage of net sales is consistent with the Company's plan to further leverage expense in 1996 while continuing to invest in the development and growth of international operations. Selling and administrative expense in dollars increased between periods due to higher commission payments on large project shipments and global market development. Research, engineering and development expense as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was 2.9%, compared with 3.0% for the same period in 1995. The expense level during the first quarter of 1996 reflects the Company's continued investment in new products and production processes. Other expense was $1.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1996, compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 1995. The increase in expense reflects higher levels of long and short term incentive compensation expense as the Company achieved record financial results. The effective tax rate for the first three months of 1996 was 37.0%, compared with 37.7% in 1995. The reduction in the tax rate from 1995 reflects the utilization of tax loss carryforwards in the Company's Asia Pacific and European operations. Record first quarter 1996 net earnings were $10.1 million, or $.41 per share, compared with $7.7 million, or $.31 per share, for the same period in 1995. The 32.1% increase in profits reflects the combination of strong business and leveraging of expenses. The impact of the merger with Durametallic was accretive to earnings per share in the first quarter of 1996. Net earnings for future quarters of 1996 and thereafter are uncertain and dependent on general worldwide economic conditions in the Company's major markets and their strong impact on the level of incoming business activity. 11 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 Not Applicable During Reporting Period ITEM 2 Not Applicable During Reporting Period ITEM 3 Not Applicable During Reporting Period ITEM 4 Not Applicable During Reporting Period ITEM 5 Not Applicable During Reporting Period ITEM 6 Exhibits and Reports on Form 10-K (a) The following Exhibits are attached hereto: 10.36 Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement 27.1 Financial Data Schedule All other Exhibits are incorporated by reference (b) Not applicable during reporting period 12 INDEX TO EXHIBITS LOCATED AT MANUALLY NUMBERED PAGE ------------- (4) INSTRUMENTS DEFINING THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS, INCLUDING INDENTURES: 4.1 Lease agreement, indenture of mortgage and deed of trust, and guarantee agreement, all executed on June 1, 1978 in connection with 9-1/8% Industrial Development Revenue Bonds, Series A, City of Cookeville, Tennessee........................................ + 4.2 Lease agreement, indenture of trust, and guaranty agreement, all executed on June 1, 1978 in connection with 7-3/8% Industrial Development Revenue Bonds, Series B, City of Cookeville, Tennessee........................................ + 4.3 Lease agreement, indenture of mortgage and agreement, lessee guaranty agreement, and letter of representation and indemnity agreement, all dated as of December 1, 1983 and executed in connection with the Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (1983 The Duriron Company, Inc.
