CASEY'S GENERAL STORES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements
(unaudited) include the accounts and transactions of the
Company and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Casey's
Marketing Company and Casey's Services Company. All
material inter-company balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
2. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements
(unaudited) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. Although management believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading, it is suggested that these interim
consolidated condensed financial statements be read in
conjunction with the Company's most recent audited financial
statements and notes thereto. In the opinion of management,
the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements
(unaudited) contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
financial position as of July 31, 1995, and the results of
operations for the three months ended July 31, 1995 and
1994, and changes in cash flows for the three months ended
July 31, 1995 and 1994.
3. Sales generally are strongest during the Company's first
quarter (May-July) and weakest during its fourth quarter
(February-April). In the warmer months customers tend to
purchase greater quantities of gasoline and certain
convenience items, such as beer, soft drinks and ice. Due
to the continuing emphasis on high-margin, freshly prepared
food items, however, the Company's net sales and net income
(with the exception of the fourth quarter) have become
somewhat less seasonal in recent years.
4. Retail gasoline profit margins have a substantial impact on
the Company's net income. Profit margins on gasoline sales
can be adversely affected by factors beyond the control of
the Company, including over-supply in the retail gasoline
market, uncertainty or volitility in the wholesale gasoline
market (such as that experienced in fiscal 1991 as a result
of the Persian Gulf crisis) and price competition from other
gasoline marketers. Any substantial decrease in profit
margins on retail gasoline sales or the number of gallons
sold could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's
earnings.
<PAGE>
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Casey's derives its revenue from the retail sale of food
(including freshly prepared foods such as pizza, donuts and
sandwiches), beverages and non-food products such as health and
beauty aids, tobacco products, automotive products and gasoline
by Company stores and from the wholesale sale of certain grocery
and general merchandise items and gasoline to franchised stores.
The Company also generates revenues from continuing monthly
royalties based on sales by franchised stores, sign and facade
rental fees and the provision of certain maintenance,
transportation and construction services to the Company's
franchisees. A typical store is generally not profitable for its
first year of operation due to start-up costs and will usually
attain representative levels of sales and profits during its
third year of operation.
Due to the nature of the Company's business, most sales are
for cash, and cash provided by operations is the Company's
primary source of liquidity. The Company finances its inventory
purchases primarily from normal trade credit aided by the
relatively rapid turnover of inventory. This turnover allows the
Company to conduct its operations without large amounts of cash
and working capital. As of July 31, 1995, the Company's ratio of
current assets to current liabilities was .58 to 1. The ratio at
July 31, 1994 and April 30, 1995, was .51 to 1 and .56 to 1,
respectively. Management believes that the Company's current
$27,000,000 bank lines of credit (aggregate amount), together
with cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy the
working capital needs of its business.
Net cash provided by operations decreased $3,295,617 (16.4%)
in the three months ended July 31, 1995 from the comparable
period in the prior year, primarily as a result of a smaller
increase in accounts payable. Cash flows from investing and
financing in the three months ended July 31, 1995 increased,
primarily as a result of increased short-term debt. Cash flows
in the future are expected to decrease as a result of the
anticipated growth in capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures represent the single largest use of
Company funds. Management believes that by reinvesting in
Company stores, the Company will be better able to respond to
competitive challenges and increase operating efficiencies.
During the first three months of fiscal 1995, the Company
expended $18,644,674 for property and equipment, primarily for
<PAGE>
the construction and remodeling of Company stores, compared to
$16,879,805 for the comparable period in the prior year. The
Company anticipates expending approximately $50,000,000 in fiscal
1996 for construction, acquisition and remodeling of Company
stores, primarily from funds generated by operations, existing
cash and short-term investments and proceeds of the 7.70% Senior
Notes due December 15, 2004 (the "Senior Notes").
As of July 31, 1995, the Company had long-term debt of
$58,053,203, consisting of $25,500,000 of 7.70% Senior Notes,
$14,288,991 of mortgage notes payable, $10,687,500 of unsecured
notes payable and $7,576,712 of capital lease obligations.
Interest on the Senior Notes is payable on the 15th day of
each month at the rate of 7.70% per annum. Principal of the
Senior Notes matures in forty quarterly installments beginning
March 15, 1995. The Company may prepay the Senior Notes in whole
or in part at any time in an amount of not less than $1,000,000
or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof at a
redemption price calculated in accordance with the Note Agreement
dated as of February 1, 1994 between the Company and the
purchasers of the Senior Notes.
To date, the Company has funded capital expenditures
primarily from the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock, issuance
of the 6-1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (which were
converted into 3,683,064 shares of Common Stock on March 28,
1994) and the Senior Notes, a mortgage note, unsecured notes
payable and through funds generated from operations. Future
capital needs required to finance operations, improvements and
the anticipated growth in the number of Company stores are
expected to be met from cash generated by operations, existing
cash, short-term and long-term investments and additional
long-term debt or other securities as circumstances may dictate,
and are not expected to adversely affect liquidity.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency and
several states, including Iowa, have established requirements for
owners and operators of underground gasoline storage tanks (USTs)
with regard to (i) maintenance of leak detection, corrosion
protection and overfill/spill protection systems; (ii) upgrade of
existing tanks; (iii) actions required in the event of a detected
leak; (iv) prevention of leakage through tank closings; and (v)
required gasoline inventory recordkeeping. Since 1984, new
Company stores have been equipped with non-corroding fiberglass
USTs, including many with double-wall construction, over-fill
protection and electronic tank monitoring, and the Company has an
active inspection and renovation program with respect to its
older USTs. The Company currently has 1,601 USTs, of which 1,211
are fiberglass and 390 are steel. Management believes that its
existing gasoline procedures and planned capital expenditures
will continue to keep the Company in substantial compliance with
all current federal and state UST regulations.
<PAGE>
Several of the states in which the Company does business
have trust fund programs with provisions for sharing or
reimbursing corrective action or remediation costs incurred by
UST owners, including the Company. These programs, other than
the State of Iowa, generally are in the early stages of operation
and the extent of available coverage or reimbursement under such
programs for costs incurred by the Company is not fully known at
this time. In each of the years ended April 30, 1995 and 1994,
the Company spent approximately $2,137,000 and $1,814,000,
respectively, for assessments and remediation. During the three
months ended July 31, 1995, the Company expended approximately
$250,000 for such purposes. Substantially all of these
expenditures have been submitted for reimbursement from
state-sponsored trust fund programs and as of July 31, 1995,
approximately $3,800,000 has been received from such programs.
The Company has accrued a liability at July 31, 1995, of
approximately $3,300,000 for estimated expenses related to
anticipated corrective actions or remediation efforts, including
relevant legal and consulting costs. Management believes the
Company has no material joint and several environmental liability
with other parties.
Management of the Company currently estimates that aggregate
capital expenditures for electronic monitoring, cathodic
protection and overfill/spill protection will approximate
$1,000,000 in fiscal 1996 through December 23, 1998, in order to
comply with the existing UST regulations. Additional
regulations, or amendments to the existing UST regulations, could
result in future revisions to such estimated expenditures. Such
expenditures are expected to be funded as described above, and
are not expected to adversely affect liquidity.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
ENDED JULY 31, 1994
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 increased by
$31,740,854 (14.3%) over the comparable period in fiscal 1995.
Retail gasoline sales increased by $24,617,520 (21.5%) as the
number of gallons sold increased by 14,789,775 (13.5%) while the
average retail price per gallon increased 7.1%. During this same
period, retail sales of grocery and general merchandise increased
by $7,095,444 (8.3%) due to the addition of 54 new Company Stores
and a greater number of stores in operation for at least three
years.
<PAGE>
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 78.9%
for the first quarter of fiscal 1996, compared to 79.3% for the
comparable period in the prior year. The gross profit margins on
retail gasoline sales increased (10.2%) during the first quarter
of fiscal 1996 from the first quarter of the prior year (7.6%).
The gross profit margin per gallon also increased (to $.1137) in
the first quarter of fiscal 1996 from the comparable period in
the prior year ($.0792). These factors were partially offset by
a decrease in gross profits on retail sales of grocery and
general merchandise (to 38.8%) from the comparable period in the
prior year (39.7%).
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 13.8%
for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to 13.6% for the
comparable period in the prior year.
Net income increased by $1,482,093 (23%). The increase in
net income was attributable primarily to the increase in retail
sales of grocery and general merchandise, an increase in the
number of gallons of gasoline sold, an increase in the gross
profit margin per gallon and an increased number of stores in
operation for at least three years.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company is the sole defendant in a class action lawsuit
brought by five Iowa retail gasoline dealers and a trade
association representing independent distributors and retailers
of gasoline products within the State of Iowa, acting on behalf
of a class of such dealers. The Amended and Substituted
Complaint - Class Action (the "Bathke Complaint"), filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa
(GILBERT BATHKE, ET. AL. V. CASEY'S GENERAL STORES, INC., Civil
No. 4-90-CV-80658), alleges that by selling gasoline at "very low
prices which are supported by higher prices charged for the same
petroleum products in other markets," the Company violated
federal anti-trust laws (specifically, Section 2(a) of the
Robinson-Patman Act and Section 2 of the Sherman Act) and State
of Iowa unfair price discrimination laws. The Bathke Complaint
seeks as relief a permanent injunction enjoining such practices,
unspecified monetary damages (to be trebled as provided by law)
and attorneys' fees.
<PAGE>
Following the completion of formal discovery activities, the
District Court granted the Company's motion for summary judgment
seeking the dismissal of all counts of the Bathke Complaint in an
Order entered on October 14, 1994. The District Court dismissed
the federal anti-trust claims with prejudice and dismissed the
State unfair price discrimination claim without prejudice,
concluding that there was an "insufficient basis and economic
reality and substantive federal law for the plaintiffs'
theories."
Plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of the Bathke Complaint to
the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis, Missouri. In
an opinion filed August 11, 1995, the Court of Appeals affirmed
the ruling of the District Court in dismissing the Bathke
Complaint, and also affirmed the District Court's order assessing
costs to the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs did not seek a
re-hearing before the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals but may
still file a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United
States Supreme Court. Management does not believe that the
Company is liable to plaintiffs for the conduct complained of and
intends to contest the matter vigorously, should any further
appeals be taken.
The Company from time to time is a party to other legal
proceedings arising from the conduct of its business operations,
including proceedings relating to personal injury and employment
claims, disputes under franchise agreements and claims by state
and federal regulatory authorities relating to the sale of
products pursuant to state or federal licenses or permits.
Management does not believe that the potential liability of the
Company with respect to such other proceedings pending as of the
date of this Form 10-Q is material in the aggregate.
