FEDDERS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

A.     The financial information included herein is unaudited and prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q; however, such information reflects all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. Reference should be made to the annual financial statements, including footnotes thereto, included in Fedders Corporation's (the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999. The Company's business is seasonal and, consequently, operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ending May 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2000.

B.     In August 1998, the Company announced that it had been authorized to repurchase up to $30 million of outstanding stock. Under this plan, in the first nine months of fiscal 2000, the Company repurchased approximately 1.02 million shares of Class A Stock for $4.9 million or $4.82 per share. Total repurchases under this plan amounted to approximately 3.70 million shares of Common and Class A Stock for $18.2 million or $4.92 per share.

C.      In the third fiscal quarter of 2000 and 1999, net income per share was computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common, Class A and Class B Stock outstanding, which amounted to approximately 35,662,000 and 35,876,000 shares, respectively. In the first nine months of fiscal 2000 and 1999, net income per share was computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common, Class A and Class B Stock outstanding which amounted to approximately 35,707,000 and 36,268,000 shares, respectively. Stock options included in computing diluted earnings per share amounted to 214,000 and 266,000 in the third quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively, and 124,000 and 220,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2000 and 1999.

D.     During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company acquired the capital stock of ABB Koppel, Inc., (now called Fedders Koppel), a leading manufacturer of room and packaged air conditioners in the Philippines, with 1999 sales of approximately $13 million, for total consideration of $11.6 million in cash and notes. During the second quarter, the Company also acquired the net assets of Sun Manufacturing, Inc. ("Sun") for $1 million of cash plus the assumption of $2.2 million of debt. Sun is a Georgia manufacturer of air conditioners that cool telecommunications equipment in cellular towers. Sun's 1999 sales were approximately $13 million.

E.     On December 3, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued its Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB101), which provides its view on applying Generally Accepted Accounting Principles to selected revenue recognition issues. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, of adopting SAB101.

F.     Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

Fedders North America, Inc. ("FNA") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. FNA and the Company are the Issuer and the Guarantor, respectively, of the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, (the "Notes") of which $100 million principal amount was issued in August 1997 and $50 million FEDDERS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Intercompany Transactions:

The historical condensed consolidating financial statements presented above include the following transactions between the Company and FNA:

1)     The Company charges corporate overhead essentially on a cost basis allocated in proportion to sales. Such charges to FNA amounted to approximately $3.5 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and May 31, 1999, respectively, and approximately $10.9 million and $8.7 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2000 and May 31, 1999, respectively.

2)     FNA's interest expense reflects actual interest charges on the Notes, a promissory note, an industrial revenue bond, capital lease obligations and a revolving line of credit.

3)     FNA's depreciation and amortization for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and May 31, 1999 amounted to $2.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Capital expenditures amounted to $1.7 million and $2.2 million in the three-month period of 2000 and 1999, respectively. FNA's depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended May 31, 2000 and May 31, 1999 amounted to approximately $7.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Capital expenditures of FNA amounted to $5.2 million and $5.5 million in the nine-month period of 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Third Quarter Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended May 31, 2000 versus the Three Months Ended May 31, 1999

Net sales in the third quarter ended May 31, 2000 amounted to $195.2 million, an increase from $175.6 million in the same period a year earlier. This increase is mainly attributable to the August 1999 acquisition of Trion, Inc. ("Trion") and its subsidiary, Envirco Corporation ("Envirco"), as well as Fedders Koppel and Sun acquired in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

Gross profit percentage decreased to 22.7% from 23.2% in the prior period primarily due to the year-to-year variations in product mix during the quarter.

In the 2000 quarter, selling, general and administrative expenses increased, as a percentage of net sales, to 7.2% from 6.1% in the prior-year quarter primarily due to the acquisitions.

Operating income was $30.3 million or 15.5% of net sales in the current year period compared to $29.9 million or 17.1% of net sales in the prior-year period due to increased sales offset by lower margins and increased selling, general and administrative expense.

Net interest expense of $4.7 million during the current period increased in comparison to the prior-year period due to the issuance in August 1999 of $50 million of 9-3/8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Notes").

Net income decreased to $16.9 million, or 47 cents per share, compared to $18.1 million, or 50 cents per share, during the same period in the prior year. The decrease is the result of product mix during the quarter and higher interest expense associated with the Notes.

 

 

 

 

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2000 versus the Nine Months Ended May 31, 1999

For the first nine months of fiscal 2000, sales were $310.2 million, an increase of 19.2% from $260.2 million in the comparable 1999 period.

Gross profit margin percentage increased to 25.7% during the first nine months of the current year, compared to 23.1% during the same period in fiscal 1999.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net sales to 13.4% from the prior year of 11.3%.

Sales and gross profit margin percentage increased primarily due to added sales from acquired businesses of counter-seasonal and non-seasonal indoor air quality products of Trion and Envirco, and light commercial and specialized air conditioning products at Fedders Koppel and Sun. Higher selling, general and administrative expenses are also a result of these acquisitions.

Operating income was $38.0 million or 12.3% of net sales in the current year compared to $30.9 million or 11.9% of net sales in the prior year.

Net interest expense increased to $12.3 million or 4.0% of net sales during the fiscal 2000 period, versus $7.8 million or 3.0% in fiscal year 1999, primarily due to the issuance of the Notes during August 1999.

The Company's net income was $16.1 million versus $16.0 million in 1999.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital requirements of the Company are seasonal, with cash balances peaking in the fourth quarter and the greatest utilization of its lines of credit occurring early in the calendar year. Cash-on-hand at May 31, 2000 amounted to $54.5 million and short-term borrowings were $10.0 million.

Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2000, amounted to $42.8 million, compared to $16.1 million in the prior-year period. The principal use of cash in each period was to produce finished goods for seasonal requirements, sales of which are greatest in the third fiscal quarter. Inventories were $69.4 million at May 31, 2000 versus $52.2 million a year earlier. The increase is due primarily to the Trion and Envirco acquisitions and the recent acquisitions of ABB Koppel, Inc. and Sun Manufacturing, Inc., during the second fiscal quarter of August 2000.

Net cash used in investing activities was $11.2 million versus $8.3 million in 1999. The increase was due to the acquisitions of Sun Manufacturing, Inc. and ABB Koppel, Inc. which utilized cash of $1.0 and $6.4 million, respectively. Capital expenditures for the nine-month period amounted to $7.6 million.

Net cash used in financing activities during the nine-month period amounted to $8.9 million, primarily due to stock repurchases ($5.0 million), long-term debt repayments ($2.1 million) and dividends ($3.2 million), offset by proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and short- term borrowings.

The Company declared quarterly dividends of 3.0 cents and 2.5 cents on each share of outstanding Class A and Common Stock and 2.7 cents and 2.25 cents on each share of outstanding Class B Stock in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Management believes that the Company's cash, earnings and borrowing capacity are adequate to meet the demands of its operations and its long-term credit requirements.
