Analysis of Operations and Finances
Operations
Net sales for the first quarter of 1994 increased about 33% from the first
quarter of 1993. About one half of the net sales increase resulted from an
increase in volume, and about half resulted from an increase in average sales
prices. Average sales prices increased about 15% from the first quarter of
1993.
The major component of cost of products sold is raw material costs. The
average price of raw materials increased about 30% from the first quarter of
1993.
Major components of marketing, administrative and other expenses are
freight and profit sharing costs. Unit freight costs increased about 10% from
the first quarter of 1993, and profit sharing costs increased about 80%,
compared with the 1993 first quarter. Profit sharing costs are based upon and
generally fluctuate with pre-tax earnings.
Interest expense, which is reduced by interest income from short-term
investments, increased for the first quarter of 1994 over the comparable 1993
quarter, primarily due to an increase in average borrowings in this year's
first quarter.
Federal income taxes were at a rate of about 35% for the first quarter of
1994, and at a rate of about 32.5% for the first quarter of 1993.
Net earnings increased about 60% during the first quarter of 1994,
compared with the first quarter of 1993, due to increased sales volume and
improved margins.
Margins were about 12.5% for the first quarter of 1994, and about 11.5%
for the first quarter of 1993.
Liquidity and capital resources
The current ratio was about 1.4 at the end of the 1994 first quarter, and
about 1.3 at year-end 1993. The percentage of long-term debt to total capital
was about 25% at the end of the first quarter of 1994 and at year-end 1993.
Capital expenditures decreased about 36% during the first quarter of 1994,
compared with the first quarter of 1993. Capital expenditures are anticipated
to be more than $200 million for all of 1994. Funds provided from operations,
existing credit facilities and new long-term debt are expected to be more than
adequate to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements.
