FORM 10-Q
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do
not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to a fair statement of the operations of
the interim period have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
Note B - Stock Split
The retroactive effect of a March 1997 three-for-two stock split effected in
the form of a 50% stock dividend has been accounted for in the reported figures
for the preceding year.
Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Genuine Parts Company (the "Company") reported record sales and earnings in the
first quarter of 1997. Sales for the quarter were $1.5 billion, up 4% over the
same period in 1996. Net income in the quarter advanced 4% to $76.6 million.
On a per-share basis, net income in the quarter was 43c. versus 40c. in the
same quarter of the prior year, an increase of 7.5%.
Sales for the Automotive Parts Group advanced 3% for the quarter, reflecting
primarily unit improvement in a very competitive environment. Sales for the
Industrial Parts Group increased 8% for the quarter, reflecting continued
market share gain. The Office Products Group was up 2% for the quarter. Cost
of goods sold decreased slightly as a percentage of net sales compared to the
same quarter the prior year. Selling, administrative and other expenses
increased 5% for the quarter and the percentage of selling, administrative and
other expenses to net sales increased slightly.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities remains very good at 3.3 to
1 and the Company's cash position is good.
