NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
6. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN:
The Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan on May 29, 1998. Under the Plan,
each holder of Common Stock at the close of business on June 10, 1998 received a
dividend of one Right for each share of Common Stock held. Each share of Common
Stock issued after June 10, 1998 but prior to the earlier of May 29, 2008 and
the Distribution Date (as defined in the Plan) will be issued with a Right
attached thereto. Following the Distribution Date, each Right will be
exercisable to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of Series B Participating
Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share at an exercise price of
$60 (the Purchase Price). Once a person has become the beneficial owner of 15%
or more of the Company's Common Stock, the Rights would permit holders of Common
Stock, other than the acquiring person, to purchase additional Common Stock at a
50% discount to its then-current market price. In addition, if, after any
person has acquired such ownership, the Company, or any subsidiary, is involved
in a merger, or business combination in which it is not the surviving
corporation or a sale of substantial assets then each Right will entitle the
holder to purchase, for the Purchase Price, a number of shares of common stock
of the other party to such business combination or sale (or, in certain
circumstances, an affiliate) at a 50% discount to its then-current market price.
Current holders of 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock and Morgan Lewis
Githens & Ahn and any of its current or future affiliates, associates, and
direct transferees are not deemed "acquiring persons" under the Rights Plan.
The Rights Plan is designed to deter abusive market manipulation or unfair
takeover tactics and to restrict an acquirer's ability to gain control of the
Company without offering a fair price to all shareholders. The Rights expire on
May 29, 2008, unless earlier exchanged or redeemed. The Rights can be redeemed
at a price of $0.01 per Right
7. CONTINGENCIES:
The Company is involved in certain claims and litigation related to its
operations. Based upon the facts known at this time, management is of the
opinion that the ultimate outcome of all such claims and litigation will not
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company.
ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
GENERAL
Gradall Industries, Inc. (the "Company") 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 and related parts business, this segment
accounts for the majority of the Company's revenues. The second quarter of 1998
represents the 25th successive quarter material handlers have achieved record
quarterly sales. The increase in material handler sales was driven by strong
second quarter rental utilization, good weather, 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 September 1998. Excavator shipments in
the first half of 1998 showed a moderate increase over the first half 1997 and
prospects remain encouraging for a strong second half. The passage of the
highway bill, potential opportunities internationally and the new Model XL2300
shipments are expected to strengthen second half excavator shipments.
The differences between the second quarter and first half results for 1998 and
the same periods for 1997 were to some extent attributable to a three week work
stoppage from March 22, 1997 to April 13, 1997.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997.
Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998, were $49.8
- ----------
million, an increase of $11.4 million or 29.8% compared to $38.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in net sales was attributable to
a significant increase in unit volume of material handlers and excavators and a
moderate increase in service parts sales.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was $11.1
- -------------
million, an increase of $1.9 million or 20.2%, compared to $9.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
decreased to 22.4% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from 24.2% for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, attributable to service parts promotion plans,
greater mix of lower margin material handler service parts and increased
production costs from raw material procurement plus reduced manufacturing
efficiency from capacity constraints.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Research, Development and Product Engineering Costs. Research, development and
- ----------------------------------------------------
product engineering costs for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was $1.0
million, unchanged from the $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997. Spending in the research and development function was actually higher in
the second quarter 1998 than the same quarter in the prior year due to
additional engineering personnel; however, this increase was offset by $0.2
million proceeds from a government engineering project.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
- --------------------------------------
expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was $4.1 million, an increase
of $0.6 million or 16.0%, compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. This increase is attributable to higher advertising spending and
interest subsidy associated with increased number of unit shipments. Total
Selling General and Administrative expenses when expressed as a percent of net
sales decreased to 8.3% for the second quarter of 1998 from 9.3% for the same
period in the prior year.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
- -----------------
was $0.2, which was a slight decrease from the three months ended June 30, 1997.
This decrease in interest expense was due to lower average borrowings, slightly
offset by a small increase in average borrowing rates.
Income Tax Provision. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30,
- ----------------------
1998, was $2.3 million, an increase of $0.6 million or 38.8%, compared to $1.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, and represents an effective
tax rate of 39.1% for both periods.
Net Income. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was $3.6
- -----------
million, an increase of $1.0 million or 39.0%, compared to $2.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to
the increased sales volume of the material handler and excavator product lines.
Earnings Per Common Share. Basic and fully diluted earnings per common share
- ----------------------------
for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was $0.40, an increase of $0.11 per
share or 37.9% compared to $0.29 per share for the three months ended June 30,
1997.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998, COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997.
Net Sales. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998, were $91.3
- ----------
million, an increase of $17.1 million or 23.0% compared to $74.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in net sales was attributable to a
significant increase in volume of material handlers and a moderate increase in
volume of excavators and service parts sales.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1998, amounted to
- -------------
$20.7 million, an increase of $2.8 million or 15.7% compared to $17.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 22.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from 24.1% for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 attributable to service parts promotion
plans, greater mix of lower margin material handler service parts and increased
production costs from dual sourcing plus overall lower manufacturing efficiency
from capacity constraints.
Research, Development and Product Engineering Cost. Research, development and
- ----------------------------------------------------
product engineering cost for the six months ended June 30, 1998, was $2.1
million, an increase of $0.2 million or 9.8% compared to $1.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was due to the addition of
engineering personnel to support new product development.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
- --------------------------------------
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998, were $7.4 million, an increase
of $0.8 million or 11.8% compared to $6.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to higher advertising
spending and interest subsidy associated with increased number of unit
shipments. The Selling, General and Administrative expenses when expressed as a
percent of net sales decreased to 8.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1998
from 8.9% for the same period in the prior year.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998, was
- -----------------
$0.4 million, unchanged from the $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997. In actual dollars there was a slight decrease in interest expense due to
lower average borrowings.
Income Tax Provision. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30,
- ----------------------
1998, was $4.3 million, an increase of $0.9 million or 26.6% compared to $3.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was attributed to
the increased sales volume.
Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per common share for the six months
- ---------------------------
ended June 30, 1998, were $0.74, an increase of $0.15 or 25.4% per basic share
from the six months ended June 30, 1997. Diluted earnings per common share for
the six months ended June 30, 1998, were $0.73, an increase of $0.15 or 25.9%
per diluted share from the six months ended June 30, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company generated net cash from operating activities of $6.1 million during
the first six months of 1998. Net cash from operating activities resulted from
the sum of $6.6 million of net income, $1.2 million of depreciation and
amortization and $0.4 million from post-retirement benefit transition
obligation, net of deferred taxes, reduced by $2.1 million of net cash used by
changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily an increase in accounts
receivable and a decrease in accounts payable.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
For the first six months of 1998, the Company's purchases of new equipment and
permanent tooling was $2.3 million. Management plans to invest approximately
$8.1 million in plant and equipment in 1998. In addition, the board of
directors has recently approved in principal a $50 million capacity expansion
program for which the Company expects to have final plans for by year end.
For the first six months of 1998 net cash used by financing activities was $2.8
million resulting from the Company's first half positive cash flow. In
addition, the net proceeds of $6.9 million from the public offering were used to
repay the revolving credit facility.
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 June 30, 1998 the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its $25
million bank revolving credit facility which is collateralized 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. The Company will maintain this revolving credit
facility for future use.
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 SFAS No. 132,
"Employers' Disclosures About Pensions and Other Post-retirement Benefits,"
which is effective for financial years beginning after December 31, 1997. The
Company will adopt the provisions of this SFAS for its fiscal year ending
December 31, 1998, but does not expect such adoption to have material impact on
the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
