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, 1997, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. (2) Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information ------------------------------------------------ The Company made cash payments for interest expense of $145,202 and $396,982 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Cash payments for income taxes were $1,021,198 and $1,269,618 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, 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, 1997 increased $4,244,365 or 5.8 percent which is primarily attributed to volume increases in the Company's distribution business segment. Cost of sales for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 increased $4,507,192 or 9.4 percent as compared to the same period in 1996. Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of sales, decreased to 31.4 percent in 1997 from 33.6 percent in the same year ago period. This decrease is attributable to higher raw material costs, primarily plastic resins. Operating expenses increased $622,977 or 4.1 percent for the three month period in 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. Expressed as a percentage of sales, operating expenses decreased to 20.7 percent in 1997 from 21.1 percent for the three month period in 1996. This improvement reflects on-going cost control programs and better fixed expense coverage. Net interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 decreased to $7,166 from $169,538 in 1996. The decrease is the result of lower average borrowing levels in the current year. Income taxes, expressed as a percentage of income before income taxes, decreased from 41.2 percent for the three month period in 1996 to 41.0 percent in 1997. 8 -7- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- Cash provided by operating activities is the primary source of liquidity and amounted to $9,894,707 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Long-term debt was reduced by $117,287 during the first three months of 1997 and debt as a percentage of total capitalization decreased to 2.9 percent compared to 3.0 percent at December 31, 1996. Working capital increased to $69,470,121 at March 31, 1997 from $69,456,867 at December 31, 1996. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $7,519,302. 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) Exhibits (3)(ii) Amended and Restated Code of Regulations (10) Wiskind Supplemental Compensation Agreement (27) Financial Data Schedule (filed only electronically with the SEC) (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.
