Sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000 of $50,285 increased 12.9% from sales for the first quarter of 1999. The first quarter 2000 Specialty Filtration & Separation, Process Water Treatment and Household Water Treatment segment sales were 42%, 38% and 20% of total sales, respectively. The first quarter 2000 sales increase included $3,322 attributed to the acquisition of Zyzatech Water Systems, Inc. (Zyzatech) on July 1, 1999 and $3,592 (8.1%) attributed to internal growth of existing product offerings. First quarter 1999 included $1,150 in sales from products produced at manufacturing facilities closed in 1999. Globally, the Euro/Africa market had good growth in the first quarter of 2000, while the Asia/Pacific recovery continued to be slow.
Gross margin for the first quarter of 2000 was 32.4% versus 34.5% for the corresponding period in 1999. The decrease in gross margins is primarily due to lower utilization and production issues at certain manufacturing facilities. To reduce excess manufacturing capacity, reduce costs and improve gross margins, one facility was closed on December 31, 1999, and another facility is scheduled for closure in the third quarter 2000. The Company is also relocating certain production and product capabilities in efforts to focus its factories and eliminate duplicate capabilities and the associated cost and overhead structures. One such relocation was completed during the first quarter 2000 and others are ongoing or planned. The production issues identified in 1999 are being addressed and changes have been instituted during the first quarter.
6
Operating expenses increased to 27.7% of sales in the first quarter of 2000 from 27.1% in the first quarter of 1999. The 2000 increase is attributed to the acquisition of Zyzatech in July 1999 and first quarter special charges (see Special Charges discussion). Research and Development expenses increased as planned to 4.2% of sales in the first quarter of 2000 from 3.9% in the first quarter of 1999.
In first quarter 2000, the Company recorded special charges and recoveries that netted to zero. Special charges included a $250 recovery of inventory accruals primarily due to gains recognized on the sale of inventory at the Company's Rockland, Massachusetts manufacturing facility. The special charges also included $250 of workforce reduction severance costs related to the first quarter 2000 restructuring of several corporate functions. The special charges (recovery) are summarized below:
Corporate restructuring | $ | 250 | ||
Special inventory recovery related to plant closings | (250 | ) | ||
Gross special charges (recovery) | $ | | ||
Less special inventory recoveryin COS | (250 | ) | ||
Special charge in operating expense | $ | 250 | ||
Other expense decreased by $952 in the first three months of 2000 versus the same period for 1999. The decrease is primarily the result of a $946 pretax gain ($0.04 per diluted share after tax) recognized on the sale of securities in the first quarter 2000.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was 34.0% based on the forecast for the full year. This rate is comparable to 34.0% in the same period of 1999. However, this represents a significant change from the tax rate percentage recognized in calendar year 1999, due primarily to the non-deductible $3,500 goodwill asset impairment special charge related to AquaMatic products recorded in the fourth quarter 1999.
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $1,592 versus $1,582 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Net income per diluted share for the quarter was $0.11 versus $0.11 for the same period last year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2000, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $16,340 versus $15,814 at December 31, 1999. The current ratio was 1.6 at both March 31, 2000 and at year end 1999.
The Company's long-term debt remained relatively consistent from December 31, 1999 to March 31, 2000. The Company's current debt increased in the first quarter to fund working capital increases related to the growth in sales. The Company's borrowings outstanding against its $30,000 revolving line of credit increased to $22,000 as of March 31, 2000 compared to $18,500 as of December 31, 1999.
7
In the first quarter 2000, the Company entered into a loan agreement amendment that reduced the Company's unsecured revolving line of credit to $30,000 from $35,000.
The Company believes that its current cash and investments position, its cash flow from operations, and amounts available from bank credit will be adequate to meet its anticipated cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures, and potential acquisitions during the foreseeable future.
The Company designs, manufactures and markets equipment, systems and components used in the processing and handling of fluids. In 2000, the Company changed the focus of its reporting structure from a two segment, product focused structure to a three segment, market focused structure.
The three market segment structure was established to provide strategic leadership within the three major market segments in which the Company conducts business. The new structure was implemented on January 1, 2000. Restatement of 1999 financial results under this method of reporting has been completed and will be disclosed comparatively in financial reports. Restatement of results prior to 1999 under this method of reporting has been deemed impracticable due to the costs and unavailability of certain financial information.
The Specialty Filtration and Separations segment includes products such as filter cartridges, membrane elements, membranes, instruments and laboratory products. The Process Water Treatment segment includes products such as pumps, housings, valves, controls, reverse osmosis/ultrafiltration (RO/UF) machines, ozonators and water treatment systems used for industrial, commercial and municipal applications. The Household Water Treatment segment includes products such as valves, controls and home reverse osmosis membranes used for the residential water purification and water softening market segments. Each segment is currently supported by several manufacturing facilities, a sales force and various corporate functions. The segments do not have separate accounting, sales, administration, purchasing, or manufacturing functions.
The reportable segment information for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999 is as follows (all segment information excludes the impact of special charges in both years):

Net sales in all three segments experienced growth in the first quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same quarter of 1999. Specialty Filtration and Separations and Household Water Treatment segments sales growth was primarily internal growth. Process Water Treatment segment growth was primarily the result of the acquisition of Zyzatech on July 1, 1999.
Gross profit margins and operating income in the Specialty Filtration and Separations and Household Water Treatment segments were lower in the first quarter 2000 than the same quarter in 1999. This was primarily related to production issues, including increased manufacturing scrap and variances at certain manufacturing locations.
Gross profit margins in the Process Water Treatment segment for the quarterly comparison period improved. This was primarily the result of benefits realized from the closure of the Company's Rockland, Massachusetts manufacturing facility in the fourth quarter of 1999. Operating income of this segment improved slightly. Most of the gross profit improvement was reinvested in selling and marketing resources in an effort to utilize remaining surplus manufacturing capacity.
Currently, management does not report the balance sheet or any cash-generating measurements by such segments.
The Company's Year 2000 computer testing and contingency planning was successful, as the Company has experienced no problems with systems or customers' accounts as the date changed from 1999 to 2000. The Company will continue to monitor its computer systems, products and services, including interaction with customers, major vendors and suppliers throughout 2000 to address any issues. Although the Company is not aware of any material operational or financial Year 2000 related issues, the Company cannot assure that such issues will not occur.
