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 September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. (2) Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information ------------------------------------------------ The Company made cash payments for interest expense of $135,583 and $205,198 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Cash payments for interest expense were $653,239 and $568,583 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Cash payments for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 were $3,616,502 and $2,928,379, respectively. For the nine month period the payments for income taxes were $13,328,805 for 1996 and $9,033,824 for 1995. 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 September 30, 1996 increased $3,229,103 or 4.3 percent which is primarily attributed to volume increase in the Company's distribution segment. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased $12,649,555 or 5.8 percent due mainly to the inclusion of Ameri-Kart Corp., acquired in June 1995, for the nine month period as compared to only three months in 1995. Cost of sales for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 increased $2,683,954 or 5.1 percent and $6,240,552 or 4.1 percent for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996. Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of sales, decreased to 29.1 percent in 1996 from 29.6 percent for the three month period in 1995. This decrease is attributable to higher raw material costs as well as expenses associated with the start up of a new manufacturing facility. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, the gross profit percentage increased to 31.5 percent from 30.4 percent in 1995, primarily due to lower average costs for plastic resins used in the manufacturing segment during the first six months of the current year. Operating expenses increased $111,307 or .7 percent for the three month period and $1,324,617 or 2.9 percent for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, compared to the same periods in 1995. Operating expenses, expressed as a percentage of sales, decreased to 21.0 percent from 21.7 percent for the three month period and 20.7 percent compared to 21.3 percent for the nine month period ended September 30. This improvement reflects on-going cost control programs and better fixed expense coverage. Interest expense for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 decreased to $47,557 from $306,837 in 1995 reflecting lower average borrowing levels in the current period. For the nine month period interest expense decreased to $301,868 in 1996 from $554,801 in 1995. Income taxes, expressed as a percentage of income before income taxes, were 41.0 percent for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to 40.7 percent for the same period in 1995. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased slightly to 41.0 percent from 40.7 percent in 1995 reflecting an increase in non-deductible amortization expense. 8 -7- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- Cash provided by operating activities is the primary source of liquidity and amounted to $26,034,951 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Long-term debt was reduced by $9,178,573 during the first nine months of 1996 and debt as a percentage of total capitalization decreased to 3.1 percent compared to 9.0 percent at December 31, 1995. Working capital decreased to $67,751,172 at September 30, 1996 from $68,715,271 at December 31, 1995. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $13,639,879. The Company currently anticipates annual capital expenditures in the range of $15.0 to $20.0 million 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 Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K -------------------------------- (a) Financial Data Schedule (b) Form 8-K None SIGNATURE --------- Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
