This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements
reflecting the company's current expectations and there can be no assurances
that the company's actual future performance will meet such expectations.
Potential risks and uncertainties include such factors as the financial
condition of the company, the cost of borrowings, the ability of the company to
remain in compliance with its debt covenants, the financial strength of the
retail industry, the level of consumer spending on apparel, the recent sale of
the Company's licensed apparel subsidiaries and the competitive pricing
environment within the apparel industry. Investors are also directed to consider
other risks and uncertainties discussed in other documents filed by the company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Net loss for the second quarter of 1998 was $13.6 million, or $0.46 per common
share, compared with net income of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per common share in
the second quarter of 1997. Results for the second quarter 1998 include a
provision for an estimated pre-tax loss of $16.3 million (after-tax of $9.9
million or $0.33 per common share) related to the sale of substantially all the
assets and business of LogoAthletic, Inc. and LogoAthletic/Headwear, Inc.,
Tultex's licensed apparel subsidiaries. Excluding the provision for estimated
loss on the sale of the licensed apparel subsidiaries, the net loss for the
quarter was $3.6 million, or $0.13 per common share. The net loss for the first
six months of fiscal 1998 was $20.4 million, or $0.69 per common share, compared
with a net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.13 per common share in the comparable
1997 period. Excluding the provision for estimated loss on the sale of the
licensed subsidiaries, the net loss for the six-month period ended July 4, 1998
was $10.4 million, or $0.36 per common share.
Net sales and other income for the three months ended July 4, 1998 decreased
$15.2 million, or 10.3%, from the second quarter of 1997. Activewear sales of
$99.8 million decreased $13.3 million, or 11.7%, as compared to the second
quarter of 1997. The activewear sales decrease resulted from lower volume in
fleece products as well as lower prices in jersey products. Licensed apparel
sales of $33.1 million in the second quarter of 1998 represent a decrease of
$1.9 million, or 5.5%, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The
licensed apparel sales decrease resulted from weak demand for NBA products.
9
For the six months to date, net sales and other income decreased $14.6 million,
or 5.9%. The activewear sales decrease of 2.6% reflect lower fleece sales which
were partially offset by the inclusion of sales for California Shirt Sales and
T-Shirt City which were acquired during the second quarter of 1997. The licensed
apparel sales decrease of 13.2% resulted from weak demand for NBA products and
softness in Major League Baseball.
Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales increased to 78.1% for the second
quarter of 1998 compared to 77.8% for the comparable second quarter of last
year. For the comparative six-month periods, cost as a percentage of sales
increased from 76.3% to 77.0% in 1998. The decrease in margin as a percentage of
sales reflects competitive price conditions and the shift in product mix toward
jersey products which typically carry a lower margin than the company's fleece
products.
Depreciation expense decreased $28,000, or .5%, from the second quarter of 1997,
and for the six months depreciation increased $28,000, or .3% as compared to the
same period in 1997.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (S,G&A) increased $2.2 million for
the second quarter of 1998 compared to the same period of 1997. The primary
reason for the increase was higher advertising expenses. As a percentage of
sales, S,G&A expenses were 16.4% compared to 13.2% for the second quarter of
1997. During the six month period ended July 4, 1998, S,G&A expenses were $45.4
million, or 19.4% of sales, compared to $41.7 million, or 16.8% of sales, for
the comparable period of the prior year. The primary reason for this increase
was the inclusion of expenses of California Shirt Sales and T-Shirt City.
Interest expense for the second quarter of 1998 was $8.1 million compared to
$6.9 million in the comparable period of 1997. The increase for the second
quarter over the comparable period of 1997 is due to higher average borrowings
and higher borrowing rates. Second quarter working capital borrowings averaged
$144.3 million at an average rate of 8.3% compared to $111.8 million and 7.5%,
respectively, for the comparable period of the prior year. Interest expense for
the six months was $15.0 million compared to $12.3 million in the same period in
1997. The increase for the six months is due to higher average borrowings and
higher average borrowing rates. The higher average borrowings resulted from the
company's two distributor acquisitions which occurred during the second quarter
of 1997. The higher average borrowing rates were primarily due to the issuance
of $75 million of 9 5/8% Senior Notes in the second quarter of 1997 which carry
a higher rate than the company's revolving credit facility borrowings. For the
first six months of 1998, working capital borrowings averaged $119.5 million at
an average rate of 8.1% compared to $113.6 million and 7.3%, respectively, for
the comparable period of the prior year. The nature of the company's business
requires extensive seasonal borrowings to support its working capital needs.
Benefit (Provision) for income taxes reflects an effective rate for combined
federal and state income taxes of 39% for both periods of 1998 as well as for
the comparable periods of 1997.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net working capital at July 4, 1998 increased $57.3 million from year-end 1997
due primarily to higher inventories which were partially offset by lower
accounts receivable. The increase in working capital was funded through an
increase in the Company's long-term revolving line of credit. Inventories
traditionally
10
increase during the first half of the year to support second-half shipments.
Compared to January 3, 1998, inventories increased $62.1 million, or 31.1%. Net
accounts receivable decreased $5.3 million from January 3, 1998 to July 4, 1998
due to the seasonality of the company's business. Receivables normally peak in
September and October and begin to decline in December as shipment volume
decreases and cash is collected.
The current ratio at July 4, 1998 was 7.2 compared to 8.1 at January 3, 1998.
Total long-term debt at July 4, 1998 included senior notes totaling $185 million
and $160.8 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility. At the end
of the second quarter of 1998, the company was in compliance with all debt
covenants.
Debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 67.8% as of July 4, 1998
compared to 60.0% as of January 3, 1998.
For the first six months of 1998, net cash used by operations of $67.4 million
reflects the seasonal increase in inventories. Cash used for capital asset
additions decreased $13.5 million in 1998 compared to the first six months of
1997. Cash provided by financing activities was $74.1 million, which was
primarily used for working capital requirements. The company expects that annual
cash flows from income adjusted for non-cash items, supplemented by the
revolving credit facility, will be adequate to support requirements for the
remainder of 1998.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "Board") adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" ("FAS 130"), which establishes standards for the reporting and display
of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. FAS 130
requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting
standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements. The Company adopted this statement in the first quarter of 1998,
however there were no items which gave rise to other comprehensive income during
either the first six months of 1998 or the first six months of 1997.
In June 1997, the Board issued FAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information". This Statement will change the way the
company reports information about segments of their business in their annual
financial statements and require the company to report selected segment
information in their quarterly reports issued to shareholders. It also requires
entity-wide disclosures about the products and services an entity provides, the
material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues, and its major
customers. The Statement requires the company to disclose segment data based on
how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and
measuring their performance. This statement is effective for financial
statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Disclosure of segment
information is not required in interim financial statements in the initial year
of its application.
