ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION GENERAL Gradall Industries operates in two segments of the construction equipment market, hydraulic excavators and rough terrain variable reach material handlers. As a result of the growth of Gradall's rough terrain variable reach material handler business and related parts, this segment has accounted for the majority of the Company's revenues since 1995. During the first three months of fiscal 1998, material handlers achieved record quarterly sales. In January 1998 the Company introduced a new D-series family of material handlers. The increase in material handler sales was driven by strong first quarter rental utilization and larger distributor rental fleets along with strong demand from national rental companies. The new rough terrain wheeled excavator Model XL2300 was introduced in March 1998 at the BAUMA construction equipment show in Germany. Production shipments for this machine are planned to start in May 1998. Excavator shipments in 1998 will also benefit from the new multi-million dollar order to sell construction and maintenance equipment to Russia. We plan to start production and shipment of the units in the fourth quarter of 1998. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997. Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998, were $41.5 - ---------- million, an increase of $5.6 million or 15.7% compared to $35.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase in net sales was attributable to a significant increase in unit volume of material handlers. The unit volume of excavators decreased slightly in the first quarter of 1998 and service parts sales were level with the same quarter of the prior year. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1998, was $9.6 - ------------- million, an increase of $0.9 million or 10.8%, compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 23.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1998, from 24.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1997, primarily due to the training costs of newly hired employees required to support the increased production schedule. Research, Development and Product Engineering Costs. Research, development and - ---------------------------------------------------- product engineering costs expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998, was $1.1 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 17.8%, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase was due to the addition of engineering personnel to support new product development. Although research and development costs increased to support new product development, the overall cost as a percent of net sales remained constant at 2.5%. Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative - -------------------------------------- expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998, was $3.3 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 7.0%, compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase is attributable to higher advertising spending and interest subsidy for a higher number of dealer floor plan units. The total cost of SG&A when expressed as a percent of net sales decreased to 7.4% for the first quarter of 1998 from 8.5% for the same period in the prior year. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998, - ----------------- was $0.2, which was a slight decrease from the three months ended March 31, 1997. This decrease in interest expense was due to lower average borrowings in connection with working capital and capital expenditure needs. The lower borrowings were slightly offset by a small increase in LIBOR rates. Income Tax Provision. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, - ---------------------- 1998, was $2.0 million, an increase of $0.3 million or 14.7%, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and represents an effective tax rate of 39.1% for both periods. Net Income. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998, was $3.1 - ----------- million, an increase of $0.4 million or 14.9%, compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to the increased sales volume of the material handler product. Earnings Per Common Share. Basic and fully diluted earnings per common share - ---------------------------- for the three months ended March 31, 1998, was $0.34, an increase of $0.04 per share or 13.3% compared to $0.30 per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company generated net cash from operating activities of $0.2 million during the first three months of 1998. Net cash from operating activities resulted from the sum of $3.1 million of net income, $0.6 million of depreciation and amortization and $0.2 million from post retirement benefit, net of deferred taxes, reduced by $3.6 million of net cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily a decrease in accounts payable. For the first three months of 1998, Gradall's purchases of new equipment and permanent tooling was $1.0 million. Management plans to invest approximately $6 million in plant and equipment in 1998. For the first three months of 1998 net borrowings under the Company's lines of credit increased $1.3 million primarily as a result of the reduction of accounts payable, increase in inventory and purchase of capital equipment. A substantial amount of the Company's working capital consists of accounts receivable and inventories. The Company periodically reviews accounts receivable for noncollectibility and inventories for obsolescence and establishes allowances it believes are appropriate. As of March 31, 1998 the Company has borrowed $10.9 million under its $25 million bank revolving credit facility which is secured principally by the Company's inventory and receivables. Interest is calculated, at the Company's option, at LIBOR plus 1.0% or a commercial bank's base rate less 0.5% and requires a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit commitment. At March 31, 1998, $14.1 million was available for future borrowings under the revolver and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. The Company believes that cash flows from operations and funds available under its revolving credit facility will be adequate to fund its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In the first quarter, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This Standard had no effect on the financial statements of the Company. In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures About Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which is effective for financial years beginning after December 31, 1997. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS for its fiscal year ending December 31, 1998, but does not expect such adoption to have material impact on the financial statements of the Company. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT Statements included in this Form 10-Q which are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements regarding the Company's future performance and financial results are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
