Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Sun Hydraulics Corporation is a leading designer and manufacturer of
high-performance screw-in hydraulic cartridge valves and manifolds, which
control force, speed and motion as integral components in fluid power systems.
The Company sells its products globally, primarily though independent
distributors. Approximately 66% of product sales are used by the mobile market,
characterized by applications where the equipment is not fixed in place, the
operating environment is often unpredictable, and duty cycles are generally
moderate to low. The remaining 34% of sales are used by industrial markets,
which are characterized by equipment that is fixed in place, typically in a
controlled environment, with higher pressures and duty cycles. The Company sells
to both markets with a single product line. In 1999, the Company generated
approximately 37% of its net sales outside of the United States, and its single
largest end-user customer represented less than 3% of net sales.
Demand for the Company's products is dependent on demand for the
capital goods into which the products are incorporated. The capital goods
industries in general, and the fluid power industry specifically, are subject to
economic cycles. In the last half of 1998, and throughout 1999, the Company
experienced little or negative growth due to a slowdown in many of the capital
goods industries that use the Company's products. However, this trend appeared
to reverse in the first quarter of 2000 as the United States National Fluid
Power Association reported an 11.7% increase in orders for hydraulic products
for the first two months of 2000 over the same period a year ago. This increase
was made up of a 10.3% increase in mobile hydraulic orders and a 15.9% increase
in industrial hydraulic orders. The Company's orders increased 24.7% for the
quarter ended April 1, 2000, compared to the quarter ended April 3, 1999.
Management believes that the order increase is indicative of an upturn in the
business cycle of the Fluid Power industry.
The Company's net sales increased 8.7% for the three months ended April
1, 2000, compared to the three months ended April 3, 1999 due to the broad based
increase in demand. Daily production rates in the United States operation
increased over the previous quarter. This was due to the capacity expansion
program, which was substantially completed at the end of 1999. The final phase
of this program is the new heat treat operation which was installed in the first
quarter of 2000 and started production in April 2000. At this point the
availability of personnel is the primary production capacity limitation in the
United States operation. Daily production rates in the United States operation
are expected to improve further in the quarter ending July 1, 2000.
Net income increased 18.5% to $0.9 million for the three months ended
April 1, 2000, compared to the three months ended April 3, 1999, despite higher
selling, engineering, and administrative expenses. The increase in these
expenses was due primarily to marketing costs and system software enhancements
in the United States and United Kingdom operations. System expenses in the
second quarter will include upgrading to a newer version of the fully integrated
manufacturing software. Promotional efforts will be focused on marketing new
products, which have not been aggressively promoted in the past due to capacity
limitations. The selling, engineering, and administrative costs are expected to
decline slightly in the quarter
11
<PAGE> 12
ending July 1, 2000 and management believes that net sales and net income in the
quarter ending July 1, 2000 will increase compared to the quarter ended April 1,
2000.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 1, 2000 AND APRIL 3, 1999
Net sales increased $1.6 million, or 8.7%, to $20.1 million for the quarter
ended April 1, 2000, compared to the quarter ended April 3, 1999. This increase
was due to an increase in demand across all business segments and the Company's
increase in capacity to meet that demand.
Gross profit increased $0.6 million or 12.9% to $5.1 million for the
quarter ended April 1, 2000, compared to the quarter ended April 3, 1999. Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 25.4% compared to 24.5% for the
first quarter of 1999. This increase was primarily due an improvement in
material costs offset by higher direct labor and depreciation costs.
Selling, engineering and administrative expenses increased 18.6%, or $0.6
million, to $3.7 million in the quarter ended April 1, 2000, compared to $3.1
million in the quarter ended April 3, 1999. This increase is due to higher
promotional costs, system software enhancement expenses and engineering
personnel costs.
Interest expense was $0.29 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2000,
compared to $0.25 million for the quarter ended April 3, 1999. This increase was
due to an increase in total debt of $3.0 million.
The provision for income taxes for the quarter ended April 1, 2000, was
28.7% of pretax income, compared to 31.9% of pretax income for the quarter ended
April 3, 1999. Tax savings were realized in the United States from the Sun
Hydraulics Foreign Sales Corporation and in Korea from provisions of local law.
Excluding income from the Korean operation, the provision for income taxes was
32.5% of pretax income, compared to 31.9% for the quarter ended April 3, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, the Company's primary source of capital has been cash
generated from operations, although fluctuations in working capital requirements
have been met through borrowings under revolving lines of credit. The Company's
principal uses of cash have been to pay operating expenses, make capital
expenditures, pay dividends to shareholders and service debt.
At April 1, 2000, the Company had working capital of $9.0 million compared
to $6.8 million at April 3, 1999. This increase was generally related to the
increase in net sales and a higher level of accounts receivable in the United
States operation due to the timing of shipments at quarter end. Cash flow from
operations for the quarter ended April 1, 2000, was $1.1 million the same as the
quarter ended April 3, 1999. Capital expenditures, consisting primarily of
purchases of machinery and equipment, were $1.4 million for the quarter ended
April 1, 2000, compared to $1.4 million of capital expenditures for the quarter
ended April 3, 1999. On March 15, 2000, the Company invested an additional $0.1
million in its 50/50 joint venture agreement in China. (Also, see Note 3 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.)
12
<PAGE> 13
On March 3, 2000 the Company finalized a manufacturing license agreement
with Mannesman Rexroth AG (Rexroth). Under the terms of the agreement the
Company will license certain technology and know-how and assist Rexroth in
producing two types of cartridge valves, in return for a license fee and
royalties each year for 10 years based on quantities sold. The Company received
$0.2 million of the $0.5 million down payment in April 2000 and is scheduled to
receive $0.3 million in October 2000. The down payment amounts will be taken
into income over the ten-year life of the agreement.
The Company has three revolving lines of credit: one in the United
States, one in England, and one in Germany. None of these arrangements contain
pre-payment penalties.
On July 23, 1999, the Company replaced the $10.0 million unsecured
revolving credit facility with a five year, secured, revolving credit facility
of $7.5 million, and a one-year unsecured, revolving credit facility of $5.0
million. The $7.5 million credit facility has an interest rate equal to the bank
lender's prime rate less 1% for the first year, and the treasury bill rate plus
1.75% for the remaining four years. The $5.0 million credit facility has an
interest rate equal to the bank lender's prime rate less 1% or LIBOR plus 1.9%
for predetermined periods of time, at the Company's option. At April 1, 2000,
the interest rate for both the secured and unsecured facilities was 7.75%, and
the balances outstanding were $4.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively.
A 10-year mortgage loan of $6.2 million was obtained, at a fixed interest
rate of 8.25%, for construction of the Manatee County facility. Terms on the
construction note were interest-only on the balance drawn down through the
completion of construction and then conversion to a 10-year mortgage note with a
15-year amortization schedule. In April 1999, this mortgage note was
renegotiated to an interest rate of 7.375%. Terms are monthly principal and
interest payments with remaining principal due July 1, 2006. At April 1, 2000,
$4.7 million was outstanding under this mortgage loan.
In February 1999, the Company negotiated three loans in Germany secured by
equipment, a ten year 5.1% fixed interest rate loan for approximately $0.3
million, a ten year 5.1% fixed interest rate loan for approximately $0.1
million, and a ten year 3.5% fixed interest rate loan for approximately $0.8
million. At April 1, 2000, the outstanding balance on these facilities was $0.2
million, $0.0 million, and $0.7 million, respectively.
The Company has notes payable to five former shareholders that bear
interest at a weighted rate of 15% and have terms expiring in one to four years.
These notes were issued by the Company in 1989 and 1990, in connection with the
repurchase of shares of common stock from former shareholders and do not allow
for prepayment by the Company. At April 1, 2000, $0.4 million was outstanding
under these notes.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations and its borrowing
availability under its revolving lines of credit will be sufficient to satisfy
the Company's operating expenses and capital expenditures for the foreseeable
future.
The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.04 per share to
shareholders of record on March 31, 2000, which was paid on April 15, 2000.

years preceding January 1, 2000 in anticipation of the year 2000 transition and
the potential problems that computer systems and embedded technology could
experience handling dates beyond the year 1999.
In order to address potential computer problems arising in connection
with the year 2000, the Company devised the following four-phased approach: (1)
assessment, (2) testing, (3) renovation and (4) validation. With regard to its
internal operations, the assessment phase consisted of the inventory of all
systems, including hardware, software and embedded systems (such as the
Company's CNC equipment) in all of Company's locations, the identification of
all critical applications, and the collection of all internal source codes. The
testing phase included the testing of the Company's critical applications for
year 2000 readiness. The Company defined "year 2000 ready" to mean that neither
the performance nor functionality of any of its critical systems, including both
information technology and non-information technology systems, would be
materially affected by dates prior to, during and after the year 2000. The
renovation phase involved the replacement of all non-compliant systems with year
2000 compliant systems. The validation phase involved the re-testing of all
upgraded systems.
As of January 1, 2000, all material aspects of the Company's internal
year 2000 plan had been completed. As a result of its assessment and testing
phases, the Company identified and modified certain software subsystems and
routines that required modification to be fully year 2000 compliant. In
addition, the Company replaced the computer operating systems in its United
States Sarasota facility and in its United Kingdom facility with
"enterprise-wide manufacturing systems" that are year 2000 ready.
The Company also has assessed the year 2000 readiness of its key
suppliers by inquiring about their year 2000 readiness and, whenever possible,
obtaining year 2000 readiness warranties or statements as to their readiness. No
major vendor issues were reported over the year 2000 transition.
The Company estimates that, as of January 1, 2000, the cost of
remediating/replacing its internal systems was approximately $1.3 million. The
Company funded this effort through operating cash flows. This estimate includes
remediation of key information technology and non-information technology
systems, but does not include the potential costs related to any customer or
other claims and the costs of any disruptions caused by suppliers not being year
2000 ready. This estimate is based on a current assessment of the year 2000
project and is subject to change.
Because the Company experienced no major year 2000-related issues
internally or externally over the year 2000 transition, it does not currently
believe that it will incur material costs or experience material disruptions in
its business associated with the year 2000. However, there can be no assurance
that year 2000 issues will not be uncovered in the future or that the costs of
any such year 2000 issues will not have a material impact on the Company's
business, operations or financial condition in future periods.
SEASONALITY AND INFLATION
The Company generally has experienced reduced activity during the fourth
quarter of the year, largely as a result of fewer working days due to holiday
shutdowns. The Company does not believe that inflation had a material effect on
its operations for the periods ended April 1,
14
<PAGE> 15
2000, and April 3, 1999. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's
business will not be affected by inflation in the future.
EURO
On January 1, 1999, eleven member countries of the European Union
established fixed conversion rates between their national currencies and the
"euro," which will ultimately result in the replacement of the currencies of
these participating countries with the euro (the "Euro Conversion"). The Company
is currently assessing the potential impact of the Euro Conversion and has
initiated an internal analysis to plan for the conversion and implement
remediation measures. The Company's analysis will encompass the costs and
consequences of incomplete or untimely resolution of any required systems
modifications, various technical and operational challenges and other risks
including possible effects on the Company's financial position and results of
operations. Costs associated with the Euro Conversion are being expensed by the
Company during the period in which they are incurred and are not currently
anticipated to be material. In January 2000 the German Operation adopted the
Euro as its primary currency. The Company presently believes that, with
remediation measures, any material risks associated with the Euro Conversion can
be mitigated.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on borrowed
funds, which could affect its results of operations and financial condition. At
April 1, 2000, the Company had approximately $7.6 million in variable-rate debt
outstanding and, as such, the market risk is immaterial based upon a 10%
increase or decrease in interest rates. The Company manages this risk by
selecting debt financing at its U.S. bank lender's prime rate less 1%, or the
LIBOR rate plus 1.9%, whichever is the most advantageous.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain oral statements made by management from time to time and certain
statements contained herein that are not historical facts are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and, because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual
results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, including those in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations are statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations,
estimates or projections of the Company, its Directors or its Officers about the
Company and the industry in which it operates, and assumptions made by
management, and include among other items, (i) the Company's strategies
regarding growth, including its intention to develop new products; (ii) the
Company's financing plans; (iii) trends affecting the Company's financial
condition or results of operations; (iv) the Company's ability to continue to
control costs and to meet its liquidity and other financing needs; (v) the
declaration and payment of dividends; and (vi) the Company's ability to respond
to changes in customer demand domestically and internationally, including as a
result of standardization. Although the Company believes that its expectations
are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that the
anticipated results will occur.
15
<PAGE> 16
Important factors that could cause the actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among other
items, (i) the economic cyclicality of the capital goods industry in general and
the hydraulic valve and manifold industry in particular, which directly affect
customer orders, lead times and sales volume; (ii) conditions in the capital
markets, including the interest rate environment and the availability of
capital; (iii) changes in the competitive marketplace that could affect the
Company's revenue and/or cost bases, such as increased competition, lack of
qualified engineering, marketing, management or other personnel, and increased
labor and raw materials costs; (iv) changes in technology or customer
requirements, such as standardization of the cavity into which screw-in
cartridge valves must fit, which could render the Company's products or
technologies noncompetitive or obsolete; (v) new product introductions, product
sales mix and the geographic mix of sales nationally and internationally; and
(vi) changes relating to the Company's international sales, including changes in
regulatory requirements or tariffs, trade or currency restrictions, fluctuations
in exchange rates, and tax and collection issues. Further information relating
to factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated is
included but not limited to information under the headings "Business,"
particularly under the subheading,"Business Risk Factors" in the Company's Form
10-K for the year ended January 1, 2000, and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations" in this Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended April 1, 2000. The Company disclaims any intention or
obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.
