NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements 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 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 contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as
of July 31, 1998, and the results of operations for the three months ended
July 31, 1998 and 1997, and changes in cash flows for the three months
ended July 31, 1998 and 1997.
3. The Company's financial condition and results of operations are affected by
a variety of factors and business influences, certain of which are
described in the Cautionary Statement Relating to Forward-Looking
Statements filed as Exhibit 99 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1997. These interim consolidated condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with that Cautionary
Statement.
4. All per-share amounts and number of shares outstanding set forth in this
Form 10- Q (and in the exhibits hereto) have been adjusted to reflect the
two-for-one stock split declared for shareholders of record on February 2,
1998 and distributed as of February 17, 1998.
<PAGE>
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
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, 1998, the Company's ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was .56 to 1. The ratio at July 31, 1997 and April 30, 1998, was .72
to 1 and .58 to 1, respectively. Management believes that the Company's current
$42,000 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 $9,684 (34.4%) in the three
months ended July 31, 1998 from the comparable period in the prior year,
primarily as a result of a decrease in accounts payable and a smaller increase
in income taxes payable. Cash flows from investing in the three months ended
July 31, 1998 decreased primarily due to the increase in capital expenditures.
Cash flows from financing increased, primarily as a result of an increase in
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 1999, the Company expended
$25,535 for property and equipment, primarily for the construction and
remodeling of Company stores, compared
<PAGE>
to $22,163 for the comparable period in the prior year. The Company anticipates
expending approximately $90,000 in fiscal 1999 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 "7.70% Notes"), the 7.38% Senior Notes due December
28, 2020 (the "7.38% Notes") and the 6.55% Senior Notes due December 18, 2003
(the "6.55% Notes").
As of July 31, 1998, the Company had long-term debt of $77,735, consisting
of $16,500 in principal amount of 7.70% Notes, $30,000 in principal amount of
7.38% Notes, $18,000 in principal amount of 6.55% Notes, $10,051 of mortgage
notes payable and $3,184 of capital lease obligations.
Interest on the 7.70% Notes is payable on the 15th day of each month at the
rate of 7.70% per annum. Principal of the 7.70% Notes matures in forty quarterly
installments beginning March 15, 1995. The Company may prepay the 7.70% Notes in
whole or in part at any time in an amount of not less than $1,000 or integral
multiples of $100 in excess thereof at a redemption price calculated in
accordance with the Note Agreement dated as of February 1, 1993 between the
Company and the purchasers of the 7.70% Notes.
Interest on the 7.38% Notes is payable semi-annually on the twenty-eighth
day of June and December in each year, commencing June 28, 1996, and at
maturity, at the rate of 7.38% per annum. The 7.38% Notes mature on December 28,
2020, with prepayments of principal commencing December 28, 2010 and ending June
28, 2020, inclusive, with the remaining principal payable at maturity on
December 28, 2020. The Company may prepay the 7.38% Notes in whole or in part at
any time in an amount not less than $1,000 or in integral multiples of $100 in
excess thereof at a redemption price calculated in accordance with the Note
Agreement dated as of December 1, 1995 between the Company and Principal Mutual
Life Insurance Company, as the purchaser of the 7.38% Notes.
Interest on the 6.55% Notes is payable quarterly on the 18th day of March,
June, September and December of each year, commencing March 18, 1998, and at
maturity, at the rate of 6.55% per annum. Principal of the 6.55% Notes matures
in five annual installments commencing December 18, 1999. The Company may prepay
the 6.55% Notes in whole or in part at any time in an amount of not less than
$1,000 or integral multiples of $100 in excess thereof at a redemption price
calculated in accordance with the Note Agreement dated as of December 1, 1997
between the Company and the Purchasers of the 6.55% Notes.
<PAGE>
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 shares of Common Stock in
1994), the Senior Notes, a mortgage note 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, 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 1,885 USTs, of which 1,558 are fiberglass
and 327 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.
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. In each of the
years ended April 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company spent approximately $502 and
$579, respectively, for assessments and remediation. During the three months
ended July 31, 1998, the Company expended approximately $198 for such purposes.
Substantially all of these expenditures have been submitted for reimbursement
from state-sponsored trust fund programs and as of July 31, 1998, a total of
approximately $4,300 has been received from such programs since their inception.
Such amounts are typically subject to statutory provisions requiring repayment
of the reimbursed funds for noncompliance with upgrade provisions or other
applicable laws. See "Legal Proceedings" under Part II, Item 1 hereof. The
Company has accrued a liability at July 31, 1998, of approximately $1,600 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
<PAGE>
will approximate $1,000 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 31,1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
ENDED JULY 31,1997 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 increased by $11,792 (3.7%)
over the comparable period in fiscal 1998. Retail gasoline sales decreased by
$4,321 (2.4%) as the number of gallons sold increased by 19,757 (12.6%) while
the average retail price per gallon decreased 13.3%. During this same period,
retail sales of grocery and general merchandise increased by $15,586 (13.3%) due
to the addition of 68 new Company Stores and a greater number of stores in
operation for at least three years.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 77.7% for the first
quarter of fiscal 1999, compared to 79.3% for the comparable period in the prior
year. The gross profit margins on retail gasoline sales increased (to 10.1%)
during the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from the first quarter of the prior year
(9.4%). However, the gross profit margin per gallon decreased (to $.1026) in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 from the comparable period in the prior year
($.1104). The gross profits on retail sales of grocery and general merchandise
also increased (to 39.9%) from the comparable period in the prior year (39.7%).
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 13.7% for the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to 13.2% for the comparable period in the prior
year. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was caused
primarily by a decrease in the average retail price per gallon of gasoline sold.
Net income increased by $1,956 (18.6%). The increase in net income was
attributable primarily to the increase in retail sales of grocery and general
merchandise, an increase in gross profit margins, an increase in the number of
gallons of gasoline sold and an increased number of stores in operation for at
least three years.
YEAR 2000
Management has initiated a "Year 2000" program to prepare the Company's
information technology systems (including hardware, software and application
programs) for year 2000 compliance, with project completion currently scheduled
for April 30, 1999. All necessary expenditures, which are not expected to be
material (including
<PAGE>
internal staff and consulting costs), will be funded through operating cash
flow. The Company also is working cooperatively with third parties having
systems upon which the Company must rely, but cannot give any assurances that
the systems of such other parties will be year 2000 compliant on a timely basis.
Systems operated by others which the Company would use and/or rely upon include
those of banking institutions and telephone companies, as well as vendor and
franchisee workstations and product ordering systems. The Company's business and
financial condition and/or results of operations could be materially adversely
affected by the failure of its systems and applications or those operated by
such other third parties.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contains various "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking
statements represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future
events, including (i) any statements regarding future sales and gross profit
percentages, (ii) any statements regarding the continuation of historical trends
and (iii) any statements regarding the sufficiency of the Company's cash
balances and cash generated from operations and financing activities for the
Company's future liquidity and capital resource needs. The Company cautions that
these statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements, including, without limitations, the factors described in the
Cautionary Statement Relating to Forward-Looking Statements included as Exhibit
99 to the Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1997.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings (Dollars in Thousands).
The Company has filed administrative appeals from adverse decisions by the
Iowa Department of Natural Resources ("IDNR") and the Iowa Underground Storage
Tank Financial Responsibility Program Board (the "UST Board") with respect to
the installation of cathodic protection at certain of the Company's underground
storage tanks ("USTs") located in the State of Iowa. The appeals followed IDNR's
determination that certain of such installations, which were performed on behalf
of the Company by a third- party contractor (Corrpro Companies, Inc.)
("Corrpro"), were not fully in compliance with IDNR administrative rules for
corrosion protection upgrade. The IDNR upgrade
<PAGE>
compliance date is December 22, 1998. However, the UST Board, which controls
funds to partially reimburse tank owners for the costs of corrective action for
past releases from leaking USTs, set an upgrade compliance date of January 1,
1995 for owners such as the Company. As a result of the IDNR determination, the
UST Board has demanded a refund from the Company in the amount of $1,603 for
remedial costs previously reimbursed to the Company by the UST Board with
respect to said locations. In addition, the UST Board is withholding future
payment of remedial funds pending resolution of the compliance issue.
The Company has been participating in informal settlement discussions with
IDNR and the UST Board in an effort to resolve the matter, and a settlement has
been reached with the IDNR. That settlement requires the Company to further test
certain of its tanks at an aggregate cost of approximately $100 and to take
whatever further corrective action may be necessary to remediate any test
failures. This settlement allows all tanks subject to the controversy to be
considered in compliance with the December, 1998 IDNR upgrade rules. No
settlement has yet been reached with the UST Board and there can be no assurance
that an acceptable settlement will be forthcoming. In the event it is not
possible to reach a settlement, the Company expects to pursue its administrative
appeal and proceed with contested case hearings before an administrative law
judge (whose decision may be appealed to district court). If it is finally
determined that the affected sites did not meet the applicable IDNR standards on
January 1, 1995, such sites would not qualify for remedial benefits provided
through the UST Board and the benefits received with respect to such sites would
be subject to repayment.
The Company and Corrpro are parties to a contract under which Corrpro
agreed to install cathodic protection systems in all of the Company's qualifying
USTs in the State of Iowa in order to meet the upgrade requirements by January
1, 1995, and further agreed to defend and indemnify the Company for all
liability arising out of the acts or omissions of Corrpro in the performance of
its work under that agreement. The Company would expect to litigate its claims
against Corrpro for whatever costs or expenses it may incur as a result of the
foregoing claims and proceedings.
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, environmental remediation or
contamination, 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.
