Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Third Quarter of Fiscal 1997 Compared to Third Quarter of Fiscal 1996
Revenues increased by $15.1 million, or 63.4%, to $38.9 million for the
third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $23.8 million for the third quarter of
fiscal 1996. The overall increase was primarily a result of increased unit
volume and an expanded product offering, including fulfillment contracts and the
inclusion of the newly acquired Cartwright Communications Company's revenues for
the third quarter of fiscal 1997. Revenues increased in each of the Company's
three major product categories, with the largest percentage increase experienced
in the sale of mobile and portable accessory products. Infrastructure, mobile
and portable accessory and test and maintenance products accounted for
approximately 51%, 36%, and 13%, respectively, of product revenues during the
third quarter of fiscal 1997. Revenues also increased in each of the three major
customer classifications, with the largest growth experienced in self-maintained
users. Dealers, cellular and paging carriers, and self-maintained users
accounted for approximately 38%, 45%, and 17%, respectively, of product revenues
during the third quarter of fiscal 1997.
Gross profit increased by $3.5 million, or 53.7%, to $9.9 million for
the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $6.4 million for the third quarter
of fiscal 1996, while the gross profit margin decreased to 25.4% from 27.1%. The
decrease in gross profit margin primarily resulted from product and service mix
changes, as well as the effect of more competitive pricing in fee-based
fulfillment services.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $3.0 million,
or 62.9%, to $7.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to
$4.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in these
expenses was primarily attributable to the continued investment in personnel to
build and support future revenue and gross profit growth, freight charges
associated with increased sales activity, and Cartwright Communications
Company's expenses being included in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. As a
percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses remained
constant at 19.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 1997, when compared to the
third quarter of fiscal 1996.
Income from operations increased by $491,000, or 28.6%, to $2.2 million
for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $1.7 million for the third
quarter of fiscal 1996. The operating income margin was 5.7% compared to the
corresponding prior year's 7.2% as a result of the reduction in gross profit
margin.
Net interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was $292,000
compared to net interest income of $53,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
This change is a direct result of interest on borrowings incurred in connection
with the Company's acquisition of Cartwright Communications Company, the funding
of the Company's newly opened global logistics center, and increased working
capital requirements during the third quarter of fiscal 1997. The effective tax
rate for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was 38.4% compared to 36.3% in the
corresponding prior year period. The increase in the effective tax rate is
primarily due to the Company's borrowing position in the third quarter of fiscal
1997 compared to its investment in tax-exempt securities during the third
quarter of fiscal 1996.
First Nine Months of Fiscal 1997 Compared to First Nine Months of Fiscal 1996
Revenues increased by $48.7 million, or 75.0%, to $113.7 million for
the first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to $65.0 million for the first
nine months of fiscal 1996. The overall increase was primarily a result of
increased unit volume and an expanded product offering, including fulfillment
services contracts and the inclusion of the newly acquired Cartwright
Communications Company's revenues for the months of June through December of
fiscal 1997. Revenues increased in each of the Company's three major product
categories, with the largest percentage increase experienced in the sale of
mobile and portable accessory products. Infrastructure, mobile and portable
accessory and test and maintenance products accounted for approximately 49%,
39%, and 12%, respectively, of product revenues during the first nine months of
fiscal 1997. Revenues also increased in each of the three major customer
classifications, with the largest growth experienced in cellular and paging
carriers. Dealers, cellular and paging carriers, and self-maintained users
accounted for approximately 37%, 46%, and 17%, respectively, of product revenues
during the first nine months of fiscal 1997.
Gross profit increased by $12.2 million, or 74.5%, to $28.5 million for
the first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to $16.3 million for the first
nine months of fiscal 1996, while the gross profit margin fell slightly to 25.0%
from 25.1%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $9.5 million,
or 80.2%, to $21.4 million during the first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared
to $11.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1996. The increase in these
expenses was primarily attributable to the continued investment in personnel to
build and support future revenue and gross profit growth, freight charges
associated with increased sales activity, and Cartwright Communications
Company's expenses being included in the period of June through December of
fiscal 1997. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to 18.9% for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 from 18.3%
for the first nine months of fiscal 1996.
Income from operations increased by $2.6 million, or 59.3%, to $7.0
million for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to $4.4 million for
the first nine months of fiscal 1996, and as a percentage of revenues was 6.2%
compared to the prior year's 6.8%.
Net interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 was
$722,000 compared to net interest income of $187,000 for the first nine months
of fiscal 1996. This change is a direct result of interest on borrowings
incurred in connection with the Company's acquisition of Cartwright
Communications Company, the funding of the Company's newly opened global
logistics center, and increased working capital requirements during the first
nine months of fiscal 1997. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of
fiscal 1997 was 38.5% compared to 36.2% in the corresponding prior year period.
The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the Company's
borrowing position in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to its
investment in tax-exempt securities during the first nine months of fiscal 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operating activities was $2.3 million for the first
nine months of fiscal 1997, compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$1.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1996. This change was primarily
the result of an increase in net income offset by changes in operating assets
and liabilities, particularly an increase in accounts receivable and inventory
offset partially by an increase in accounts payable. Net cash used in investing
activities increased to $11.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1997
compared to $433,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1996. This increase was
primarily due to the Company's acquisition of Cartwright Communications Company
during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as well as the Company's expenditures
related to its newly opened global logistics center distribution facility. Net
cash provided by financing activities increased to $13.6 million in the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 from $217,000 for the first nine months of fiscal
1996. This change is primarily a result of the Company's borrowing under its
credit facilities and proceeds from long-term debt to finance the Cartwright
acquisition and expenditures related to its global logistics center.
