6. Subsequent Event
On October 6, 1997, the Company acquired approximately 91.5% of the
outstanding capital stock of Inverness Castings Group, Inc. ("Inverness"),
a Delaware corporation, for $6.7 million in cash, in addition to the
assumption of $587,000 of outstanding indebtedness. Contemporaneous with
the consummation of this acquisition, the Company retired approximately
$11.6 million of Inverness' outstanding indebtedness. The remaining 8.5%
of Inverness capital stock was retained by Inverness management.
Inverness, located in Dowagiac, Michigan, produces aluminum die castings
for the automotive, furniture and appliance markets. The Company financed
this transaction with available cash balances and funds available under its
revolving credit facility.
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 were $68.8 million, representing
an increase of $19.8 million, or 40.4%, over net sales of $49.0 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997. The operations acquired by the Company since
October 1, 1996 generated net sales of $21.8 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 as follows:
FY98 1st Qtr
Operation Date Acquired Net Sales
--------- ------------- ------------
Los Angeles Die Casting Inc. 10 / 01 / 96 $3.0 million
Canada Alloy Castings, Ltd. 10 / 26 / 96 2.3 million
Pennsylvania Steel Foundry
& Machine Company 10 / 31 / 96 4.7 million
Jahn Foundry Corp. 2 / 14 / 97 3.0 million
PrimeCast, Inc. 7 / 01 / 97 8.8 million
Excluding net sales generated by the operations acquired since October 1, 1996,
net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 were $47.0 million, representing
a decrease of $2.0 million, or 4.1%, from net sales of $49.0 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997. This 4.1% decrease in net sales was due primarily
to decreases in net sales to the energy, utility and military markets, partially
offset by an increase in net sales to the rail market.
Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased by $2.6 million, or
39.4%, to $9.2 million, or 13.4% of net sales, compared to $6.6 million, or
13.6% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase in gross
profit was primarily due to increased sales volume levels. The decrease in
gross profit as a percentage of net sales is primarily attributable to a
decrease in the absorption of overhead resulting from a reduction in net sales
(i) at La Grange Foundry Inc. ("La Grange") due to the efforts of La Grange's
largest customer to reduce their inventory levels, (ii) to the energy and
military markets at the Company's Amite facility in Louisiana and (iii) to the
paper-machinery market at the Company's subsidiary, PrimeCast, Inc.
("PrimeCast"). Partially offsetting these factors was the inclusion in the
prior year period of: (i) lost production and expenses associated with the
conversion from cupola to electric melting at The G&C Foundry Company ("G&C")
and (ii) costs associated with the addition of iron casting capability at Empire
Steel Castings, Inc. ("Empire").
Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") for the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 was $5.3 million, or 7.8% of net sales, as compared to $4.3 million,
or 8.7% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase in SG&A
was primarily attributable to expenses associated with the operations acquired
by the Company since October 1, 1996. The decrease in SG&A as
a percentage of net sales was primarily due to lower average SG&A expense as
a percentage of net sales at Pennsylvania Steel Foundry & Machine Company
("Pennsylvania Steel") and PrimeCast.
Amortization of certain intangibles for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was
$175,000, or 0.3% of net sales, as compared to $139,000 or 0.3% of net sales, in
the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The intangible assets consist of goodwill
recorded in connection with the acquisition of Prospect Foundry, Inc., Kramer
International, Inc., Empire, G&C and Los Angeles Die Casting Inc. Partially
offsetting the expense relating to the amortization of these assets is the
amortization of the excess of acquired net assets over cost (negative goodwill)
recorded by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Canadian Steel
Foundries, Ltd.
Interest Expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 decreased to $462,000, or
0.7% of net sales, from $586,000, or 1.2% of net sales, in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. The decrease in interest expense is primarily the result of a
decrease in the average amount of indebtedness outstanding.
Income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997
reflected the combined federal and state statutory rate of approximately 42% and
43%, respectively.
As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased by $884,000, from net
income of $941,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to net income of $1.8
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
Cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was $2.0
million, a change of $4.3 million from cash provided by operating activities in
the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This change was primarily attributable to
increased working capital requirements primarily relating to trade receivable
and accounts payable balances.
Working capital was $48.4 million at September 30, 1997, as compared to $57.2
million at June 30, 1997. The decrease primarily resulted from the use of
existing cash balances for the acquisition of PrimeCast and a $2.9 million
increase in the current maturities of the Company's existing outstanding
indebtedness.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company made capital expenditures
of $4.2 million, as compared to $3.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal
1997. Included in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 were capital expenditures of
$1.1 million on a new sand reclamation system at the Atchison/St. Joe Division.
Included in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were capital expenditures of $1.2
million at G&C, primarily relating to the conversion from cupola to electric
melting. The balance of capital expenditures in both periods was used for
routine projects at each of the Company's facilities.
Total indebtedness of the Company at September 30, 1997 was $28.6 million, as
compared to $28.7 million at June 30, 1997. At September 30, 1997, $50.8
million was available for borrowing under the Company's revolving credit
facility.
On July 1, 1997, the Company purchased the Beloit Castings Division ("BCD") from
Beloit Corporation for $7.2 million in cash, subject to adjustment. BCD now
operates under the name PrimeCast, as a subsidiary of the Company. PrimeCast is
a group of four foundries in Beloit, Wisconsin and South Beloit, Illinois,
including two iron foundries, a steel foundry and a non-ferrous foundry, that
produce castings for the paper-machinery, pump, valve, mining and construction
markets. This acquisition was financed with available cash balances.
On October 6, 1997, the Company acquired approximately 91.5% of the outstanding
capital stock of Inverness Castings Group, Inc. ("Inverness"), a Delaware
corporation, for $6.7 million in cash, in addition to the assumption of $587,000
of outstanding indebtedness. Contemporaneous with the consummation of this
acquisition, the Company retired approximately $11.6 million of Inverness'
outstanding indebtedness. The remaining 8.5% of Inverness capital stock was
retained by Inverness management. Inverness, located in Dowagiac, Michigan,
produces aluminum die castings for the automotive, furniture and appliance
markets. The Company financed this transaction with available cash balances and
funds available under its revolving credit facility.
The Company believes that its operating cash flow and amounts available for
borrowing under its revolving credit facility will be adequate to fund its
capital expenditure and working capital requirements for the next two years.
However, the level of capital expenditure and working capital requirements may
be greater than currently anticipated as a result of the size and timing of
future acquisitions, or as a result of unforeseen expenditures relating to
compliance with environmental laws.
This section entitled "Liquidity and Capital Resources" contains
forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
Such forward-looking statements include statements pertaining to the adequacy
of funding for capital expenditure and working capital requirements for the
next two years. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from such forward-looking statements include: the size and timing of future
acquisitions, business conditions and the state of the general economy,
particularly the capital goods industry, the strength of the dollar, the
fluctuation of interest rates, the competitive environment in the casting
industry and changes in laws and regulations that govern the Company's
business, particularly environmental regulations.
