LIQUI-BOX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The information furnished reflects all adjustments (all of which were of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows on a consistent basis.
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
During the Third Quarter 1999, Liqui-Box Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") experienced a 5% increase in sales dollars and a 3% increase in unit sales compared to the Third Quarter 1998. The increase in sales dollars for the quarter was principally the result of the increase in unit sales and to a lesser extent, product mix.
Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 36.4% for the Third Quarter 1999 and 35% for the Third Quarter 1998. For the first three quarters of 1999, gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 39.1% compared to 35.3% for the same period in 1998. The increase in gross profit as a percent of net sales is primarily the result of improvements in plant operating efficiencies, product mix and improved margins.
For the Third Quarter of 1999, selling, administrative, and development expenses were $6,349,000 as compared to $5,601,000 in the Third Quarter of 1998, an increase of 13%. For the first nine months of 1999, selling, administrative, and development expenses were $21,573,000 compared to $18,499,000 for the first nine months of 1998. The increase is primarily due to an increase in compensation related costs.
Income before taxes as a percentage of net sales was 22.2% in the Third Quarter 1999 and 21.3% in the Third Quarter 1998, due to the increase in gross profits, offset by the increase in selling, administrative, and development expenses. For the first nine months of 1999, income before taxes as a percentage of net sales was 21.9% of sales as compared to 19.9% for the first nine months of 1998.
The provision for income taxes was 40.9% of before taxable income for the Third Quarter of 1999 and 40.9% for the Third Quarter 1998. On a year-to-date basis, the provision for income taxes was 40.9% in 1999 and 40.9% in 1998. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 1999 is based on the Company's anticipated tax rate for the 1999 fiscal year.
At the end of the Third Quarter of 1999 and 1998, the Company had no significant backlog of orders, which is industry typical.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total working capital at October 2, 1999, was $25,290,000 compared to $16,247,000 at January 2, 1999. This increase is the result of improved operating activities and the seasonal needs of the Company. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.2 to 1 at the end of the Third Quarter 1999 and 1.6 to 1 at year-end 1998. Net cash used in investing activities was $3,780,000 for the nine months ended October 2, 1999 compared to $5,319,000 for the nine months ended October 3, 1998. During both periods, the cash was used primarily for purchases of new plant equipment and improvements to existing property and plant equipment. Cash used in financing activities was $20,945,000 for the nine months ended October 2, 1999, compared to cash used of $24,294,000 for the nine months ended October 3, 1998. The cash used in financing activities was primarily for the repurchase of outstanding shares, repayment of short-term debt and payment of cash dividends.
The Company's major commitments for capital expenditures as of October 2, 1999 were, as they have been in the past, primarily for increased capacity at existing locations, building filler machines for lease and tooling for new projects. Funds required to fulfill these commitments will be provided principally by operations with any additional funding needed coming from credit facilities that aggregate $30,000,000 with The Huntington National Bank. No amounts were outstanding under these credit facilities as of October 2, 1999.
Longer-term cash requirements, other than normal operating expenses, are needed for financing anticipated growth; increasing capacity at existing plants; development of new products and enhancement of existing products; dividend payments and possible continued repurchases of the Company's common shares. The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, available credit facilities and anticipated cash generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its currently anticipated cash requirements for the fiscal year 1999.
There have been no significant changes in capitalization during the first nine months of 1999, except for the repurchase of outstanding common shares in the aggregate amount of $8,195,000 which were acquired throughout the first nine months of 1999 on the open market. The common shares were bought at a price considered fair by management and there was cash available for these purchases. The Company felt the purchases represented a good investment and would secure common shares for issuance under the Company's employee benefit plans. The Company has not entered into any significant financing arrangements not reflected in the financial statements.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is based on revenues, expenses, gains and losses which, under generally accepted accounting principles, are excluded from net income and reflected as a component of equity, such as currency translation and gain or loss on securities adjustments. Comprehensive income, net of tax, was $6,566,000 and $5,442,000 in Third Quarter 1999 and Third Quarter 1998, respectively. Comprehensive income differs from net income per the Consolidated Statements of Income due to foreign currency translation gains in the Third Quarter 1999 and Third Quarter 1998, and losses on marketable securities in the Third Quarter 1999 and Third Quarter 1998. Other comprehensive income is derived from the change in foreign currency translation and the change in the value of marketable securities held for investment.
Year 2000
In prior years, certain computer programs were written using two digits, rather than four, to define the applicable year. These programs were written without considering the impact of the upcoming century and may experience problems handling dates beyond the year 1999. This could cause computer applications to fail or to create erroneous results unless corrective measures are taken. Incomplete or untimely resolution of the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, operations or financial condition in the future.
The Company has identified its Year 2000 risk in three categories: internal business software; internal non-financial software and imbedded chip technology; and external non-compliance by suppliers and customers.
Internal Business Software. The Company has been assessing the impact that the Year 2000 issue will have on its computer systems since 1995. In response to these assessments, the Company has replaced all critical systems. The Company's project plan called for the implementation of an integrated application software package purchased from a software vendor. This application software has received ITAA*2000 certification from the Information Technology Association of America as Year 2000 compliant. In addition, the Company replaced all critical computer hardware and PC software with Year 2000 compliant products. The project was implemented in the Second Quarter of 1998 at a total estimated cost of $1,875,000, of which $1,436,000 has been incurred to date. The project has been funded through operating cash flows.
Internal Non-Financial Software and Imbedded Chip Technology. During the First Quarter, 1999, the Company completed the data-gathering phase, with regard to non-financial software and imbedded chip technology. The Company has not found any critical non-financial systems or imbedded chip technology not to be Year 2000 compliant.
External Noncompliance by Suppliers and Customers. During the Second Quarter, 1999, the Company completed the data-gathering phase with regard to major suppliers. The Company has not found any major suppliers not to be Year 2000 compliant. During the Third Quarter, 1999, the Company completed the process of surveying major customers to determine the status of their Year 2000 compliance programs. The Company has not found any major customers not to be Year 2000 compliant. In the event that any of the Company's major customers ultimately do not achieve successful and timely Year 2000 compliance, and the Company is not successful in replacing them with comparable customers, the Company's business or operations could be adversely affected.
Based on the work to date, the Company believes future costs relating to the Year 2000 issue will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Effect of New European Currency
The implementation of the Euro currency in certain European countries in 2002 could adversely impact the Company. In January 1999, a new currency called the "Euro" was introduced in certain Economic and Monetary Union ("EMU") countries. During 2002, all EMU countries are expected to be operating with the Euro as their single currency. Uncertainty exists as to the effect the Euro currency will have on the marketplace. Additionally, all of the final rules and regulations have not yet been defined and finalized by the European Commission with regard to the Euro currency. The Company is still assessing the impact the EMU formation and Euro implementation will have on internal systems and the sale of its products. The Company expects to take appropriate actions based on the results of such assessment. The Company has not become aware of any negative impact resulting from the EMU formation and Euro implementation. The Company has not yet determined the cost related to addressing this issue, if any, and there can be no assurance that this issue and its related costs will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
New Accounting Standard
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that all derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair market value. The statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair market value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The accounting provisions for qualifying hedges allow a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that the Company formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that qualify for hedge accounting. The Company is not required to adopt this statement until January 2001. The Company has not determined its method or timing of adopting this statement or the impact on its financial statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe-harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports to shareholders. All such statements which are not historical fact are forward-looking statements based upon the Company's current plans and strategies, and reflect the Company's current assessment of the risks and uncertainties related to its business, including such things as product demand and market acceptance; the economic and business environment and the impact of governmental regulations, both in the United States and abroad; the effects of competitive products and pricing pressures; the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the implementation of the EURO; capacity; efficiency and supply constraints; effective remediation of Year 2000 issues; weather conditions; and other risks detailed in the Company's press releases, shareholder communications and Security and Exchange Commission filings. Actual events affecting the Company and the impact of such events on the Company's operations may vary from those currently anticipated. The Company is not obligated to update or revise forward-looking statements relating to the Company to reflect new events or circumstances.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company, in the normal course of business, is exposed to market risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates, fluctuations in the market value of equity securities available for sale, and changes in interest rates. The Company is also exposed to changes in the price of commodities used in its manufacturing operations. However, commodity price risk is not material as price changes are customarily passed along to the customer.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
In the Third Quarter 1999, European operations accounted for approximately 13% of the Company's net sales. As a result, there is exposure to foreign exchange risk on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the business unit's functional currency. The Company borrows from a bank the amounts of its foreign currency sales in that foreign currency. Upon collection of the related accounts receivable, the corresponding bank loan is repaid in that foreign currency. Reference is made to Note 1Accounting PoliciesForeign Currency Translation, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 1998 Annual Report to shareholders for further information with respect to foreign currency exchanges. The Company's hedging activities provide only limited protection against currency exchange risks, however, a hypothetical 10% foreign exchange fluctuation would not materially impact operating results or cash flow.
Marketable Securities Risk
The Company maintains a portfolio of marketable equity securities available for sale. The fair market value of these securities at October 2, 1999 was approximately $1,600,000 with the corresponding unrealized gain included as a component of stockholders' equity. A hypothetical 10% decrease in the quoted market price of the marketable securities would not materially impact operating results or cash flow.
Interest Rate Risk
The interest payable for the Company's revolving credit facilities is principally 50 basis points above the London Interbank Offered Rate and therefore affected by changes in market interest rates. A hypothetical 10% increase in the interest rate would not materially impact operating results or cash flow.
