MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS
- ----------
Quarter Ended January 31, 1997 vs. Quarter Ended January 31, 1996
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the second quarter totaled $123,525,067, up 3.1% from $119,780,958
in the same period last year. Income before income taxes was $3,489,965 compared
to $3,414,037 in the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to
reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses. In general, the
Company did not adjust its sales prices during the second quarter of fiscal
1997. Recreation vehicle revenues of $88,823,259 were 7.2% lower than last year
and were 71.9% of total company revenues compared to 79.9% last year. Bus
revenues of $34,701,808 were 44.2% higher than last year and were 28.1% of total
company revenues compared to 20.1% last year. Manufacturing gross profit was
9.7% of sales compared to 10.2% last year.
Operating income totaled $3,822,138, up 15.2% from $3,317,719 in the same period
last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $8,185,152,
6.6% of sales, from $8,921,903, 7.4% of sales. Interest income decreased by
$56,465 and interest expense increased by $146,749. This increase in interest
expense was due primarily to additional borrowing for the purchase of 503,319
shares of treasury stock. The combined income tax rate was 42.1% compared to
42.5% last year.
Six Months Ended January 31, 1997 vs. Six Months Ended January 31, 1996
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the six months totaled $274,021,888, up 1.0% from $271,300,162 in
the same period last year. Income before income taxes was $12,072,758 compared
to $10,882,945 in the same period last year. This increase was due primarily to
reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses. Recreation vehicle
revenues of $206,392,070 were 6.4% lower than last year and were 75.3% of total
company revenues compared to 81.3% last year. Bus revenues of $67,629,818 were
33.2% higher than last year and were 24.7% of total company revenues compared to
18.7% last year. Manufacturing gross profit was 10.5% of sales compared to 10.6%
last year.
Operating income totaled $11,995,064, up 13.7% from $10,545,287 in the same
period last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to
$16,702,136, 6.1% of sales, from $18,329,621, 6.8% of sales. An adjustment to
deferred compensation in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 accounted for $669,000
reduction in administrative expense. Interest income decreased by $61,553 and
interest expense increased by $271,842. This increase in interest expense was
due primarily to additional borrowings for the purchase of 543,319 shares of
treasury stock. The combined income tax rate was 40.9% compared to 41.4% last
year.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------
As of January 31, 1997, Thor had $4,614,818 in cash and cash equivalents,
compared to $13,061,981 on July 31, 1996. Working capital at January 31, 1997
was $68,697,060 compared to $74,981,738 at July 31, 1996. Inventory valued at
current cost at January 31, 1997 exceeded the LIFO inventory by $3,020,202.
On January 31, 1997, the Company had a $30,000,000 revolving line of credit with
Harris Trust and Savings Bank and Bank One. The amount borrowed under this line
as of January 31, 1997 was $14,280,000. The loan agreement contains certain
covenants, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, and the Company
must maintain certain financial ratios. The line of credit bears interest at
negotiated rates below prime and expires on November 30, 1997. The Company had
no long term debt as of January 31, 1997. Amortization of intangibles decreased
from $1,432,749 through January 31, 1996 to $1,082,870 through January 31, 1997
due to certain intangibles being fully amortized.
During the six months of fiscal 1997, Thor purchased 543,319 shares of its
common stock, increasing treasury stock by $13,561,052.
The Company believes internally generated funds and the revolving credit
agreement already in place will be sufficient to meet current operating needs
and anticipated capital requirements. The Company does not anticipate
significant capital expenditures for fiscal 1997.
