THE VALSPAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JANUARY 26, 1996.
NOTE 1: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period
ended January 26, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended October 25, 1996. For further information, refer to
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in The
Valspar Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 27,
1995.
NOTE 2: Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each period plus common stock equivalents on stock
options. Potential dilution from the exercise of stock options is not material.
NOTE 3: Trade accounts payable include $10.3 million at January 26, 1996 of
issued checks which had not cleared the Company's bank accounts.
NOTE 4: On March 24, 1995, the Company acquired the Common Stock of Sunbelt
Coatings, Inc. in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. The
consolidated financial statements for the period ended January 27, 1995 have
been restated to include the results and financial position of Sunbelt. The
effect of this acquisition on the Company's financial statements was not
significant.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Acquisition: The Company announced on February 26, 1996 that it agreed to
purchase from TOTAL's Inks Division, known as "Coates Coatings," TOTAL's
worldwide can coatings business, comprised of metal packaging coatings and inks.
Worldwide sales for Coates Coatings were approximately $125 million in 1995. The
transaction is structured in phases to be completed over a period of about five
years. Completion of the initial phase of the transaction is expected to take
place near the end of the Company's second quarter or beginning of the third
quarter. All phases of the transaction are subject to various conditions and
regulatory approvals, where applicable. The transaction will be accounted for as
a purchase.
Operations: Net sales for the first quarter increased 1.3% to $165,304,000
compared to $163,220,000 a year ago. The increase was driven by the effect of
pricing actions taken in substantially all of the businesses during the prior
fiscal year in response to rising raw material costs, but partially offset by
lower unit sales in all businesses except Sunbelt, Marine and Color Corporation.
Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, sales for the first
quarter are not necessarily indicative of the sales for the full year.
The Company's gross profit margin for the first quarter this year was 27.1%
compared to 26.4% last year, with the Consumer Group, E.P.S., Color Corporation,
and Sunbelt businesses showing the largest improvement. The first quarter
increase is largely attributable to reduced production and distribution costs
with the three new facilities fully operational this year whereas they were in
various start-up stages last year at this time. While the rate of raw material
price escalation has eased somewhat in fiscal 1996, the Company expects that
margin pressure will continue. The Company intends to offset these higher costs
by continuing to improve its operating efficiency and to seek product price
increases.
Operating expenses (research, selling and administrative) increased $603,000, or
1.8%, over first quarter in the prior year, but remained nearly constant as a
percent of sales. The increase in expenses includes higher research expenses and
additional Consumer promotional expenses.
Net income for 1995 was 15.9% higher than the comparable period a year ago
driven by the higher gross margin resulting from reduced manufacturing and
distribution costs.
Financial Condition: The net cash used by the Company's operations was
$4,256,000 for the first quarter of 1996 compared to $4,193,000 for the first
quarter of 1995. The additional cash provided by net income and depreciation
adjustments were offset by increased working capital requirements. Accounts
payable and accrued liabilities decreased in the first quarter as a result of
higher first quarter payments of various year-end accruals and the timing of
accounts payable disbursements. Cash generated by accounts receivable increased
as the higher year-end balances were collected during the quarter.
First quarter borrowings of $12,247,000 were used to fund seasonal operating
requirements of $4,256,000, capital expenditures of $6,320,000 and dividends to
shareholders of $3,627,000. The reduction in capital spending from the prior
year relates to the completion of new production facilities in Statesville,
North Carolina and Marengo, Illinois during 1995. The Company continues to
upgrade and replace its management information systems.
The Company's total debt to capital ratio increased to 15.4% from 11.4% at the
close of fiscal 1995 as a result of the seasonality in the cash flow generated
by the business. The total debt to capital ratio as of January 27, 1995 was
27.9%. The Company believes existing lines of credit will be sufficient to meet
its current and projected needs for financing.
