ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The nature of the Company's business is highly seasonal.
Historically, sales in the fourth quarter have been substantially
higher than sales achieved in each of the first three quarters of
the fiscal year. Thus, expenses, and to a greater extent operating
income, vary greatly by quarter. Caution, therefore, is advised
when evaluating results of a period shorter than a full year or
when comparing any period other than to the same period of the
previous year.
NET SALES. Net sales for the first three months of fiscal 1995
increased $65.3 million, or 29.4%, to $287.1 million from $221.8
million for the comparable period of fiscal 1994. The increase
resulted from 199 net additional stores being open during the first
nine months of fiscal 1995 as compared to the same prior year
period and an increased of 15.8% in same store sales. The Company
regards same stores as those opened prior to the beginning of the
previous fiscal year which have remained open throughout the
previous fiscal year and the period reported. Management believes
that the same store sales increase is a continued reflection of the
success of its everyday low price strategy and merchandise
selection and generally improved economic conditions.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the first three months of
fiscal 1995 was $80.0 million, or 27.9% of net sales, compared to
$62.4 million, or 28.2% of net sales, for the comparable period in
the prior fiscal year. The decline resulted from greater
merchandise markdowns and lower purchase discounts, which were
partially offset by a smaller LIFO charge. The estimate of shrink
was virtually unchanged from the prior year and the LIFO charge was
0.15% of net sales compared to 0.64% a year ago. Cost of goods
sold is determined in the first, second and third quarters
utilizing estimates of inventory shrinkage, inflation and
markdowns. Adjustments of these estimates based upon actual
results are included in cost of goods sold in the fourth quarter.
<PAGE>9
XXXBEGIN PAGE 9 HEREXXX
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling, general
and administrative expense for the current quarter equaled $64.3
million, or 22.4% of sales versus $52.4 million or 23.6% of sales
in the same period last year. This decrease was principally due to
the 15.8% increase in same store sales exceeding the 14.9% increase
in same store expenses. Advertising expense was also lower due to
a change in advertising mix from utilizing print and broadcast
media last fiscal year to employing almost solely printed
advertising this fiscal year.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased 22.5% to $392
thousand for the first three months of fiscal 1995 from $506
thousand for the comparable prior year period. The decrease
resulted from lower interest rates, which more than offset higher
average borrowings.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows used in
operating activities totaled $11.5 million during the first quarter
of fiscal 1995 compared to $15.6 million in first quarter of fiscal
1994. This decrease in use of cash resulted from higher income and
depreciation offset partially by increase in inventories of $44.2
million ($60.1 million in the prior year period). Trade payables
increased by $20.0 million as compared to an increase of $37.3
million in first quarter 1994. This smaller relative increase in
trade payables is due principally to a greater proportion of
merchandise purchases being imported and financed by letters of
credit rather than by trade credit.
Cash flows from investing activities. Cash used for capital
expenditures during the first quarter related to increase in stores
in fiscal year 1995 was $7.9 million as compared to $5.0 million in
the comparable period in 1994. The current year expenditures are
primarily referable to opening, remodeling and relocating stores;
providing new fixtures to stores; and costs associated with the
construction of the new Ardmore, Oklahoma distribution center.
Cash flows from financing activities. The Company's short-term
borrowings during the first quarter of fiscal 1995 increased $9.0
million to $27.0 million compared to an increase of $15.0 million
to $25.0 million during the same period of the prior fiscal year.
The increased short-term borrowings were due to the cash used in
operating activities discussed above. The Company's long-term
obligations during the first quarter of fiscal 1995 decreased $0.9
million to $4.8 million compared to a decrease of $0.9 million to
$6.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 1994.
<PAGE>10
XXXBEGIN PAGE 10 HEREXXX
Because the Company emphasizes seasonal events, such as
Christmas and back-to-school, its working capital requirements vary
significantly during the year. Bank credit facilities equaled
$100.0 million at April 30, 1994 ($65 million revolving credit/term
loan facility plus $35.0 million seasonal line of credit). The
Company had no seasonal line of credit borrowings as of April 30,
1994 or 1993. The Company believes it can continue to meet its
seasonal working capital and capital expenditure requirements
through cash flows provided by operating activities supplemented by
the revolving credit term loan facility and credit lines currently
in place.
