MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
KLLM Transport Services, Inc.'s primary sources of
liquidity are its cash flow from operations and its existing
credit agreements. During the thirty-nine weeks ended
September 29, 1995, the Company generated $17.1 million in
net cash provided from operating activities.
The Company's traditional trade cycle on revenue
equipment requires significant investments in new tractors
and trailers, which were previously financed largely through
long-term debt and capitalized leases. The vast majority
of new tractors are now (beginning January 1995) being
leased under an operating lease plan with terms more
favorable
than could have been obtained with financing or capital
leasing. During the first nine months of 1995, the Company
entered into these operating leases with average annual
minimum rental payments of $4,057,000 through 1999. The
commitment for 1995 is approximately $2,000,000. Capital
expenditures, net of proceeds from trade-ins, during the
first nine months of 1995 were approximately $11,164,000.
Net capital expenditures for the remainder of 1995,
primarily for revenue equipment, are expected to be
approximately $600,000.
Effective May 1, 1995, the Company acquired
substantially all of the assets of Vernon Sawyer, Inc, a
regional
dry-van truckload carrier based in Bastrop, Louisiana. The
acquisition was financed from net cash provided from
operating activities and existing credit facilities.
Effective March 1, 1994, the Company acquired all of
the outstanding stock of Fresh International
Transportation, Inc., a company which provides temperature
controlled transportation via double-stack containers on
railroads. The acquisition was financed from net cash
provided from operating activities.
At September 29, 1995, the aggregate principal amount
of the Company's outstanding long-term indebtedness
was approximately $70.8 million. Of this total outstanding,
$3.8 million was in the form of 10.2% Notes due July 15,
1998, $20.0 million in the form of 9.11% Senior Notes due
June 15, 2002, $40.0 million consisted of the revolving line
of credit due April 7, 1997, and $7.1 million principal was
relative to capital leases with varying maturities.
The Company has a $50,000,000 unsecured revolving line
of credit with a syndication of banks. As noted
above, borrowings of $40,000,000 were outstanding at
September 29, 1995. Under the terms of the agreement,
borrowings bear interest at (I) the higher of prime rate or
a rate based upon the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (ii) a
rate
based upon the Eurodollar rates, or (iii) an absolute
interest rate as determined by each lender in the
syndication under
a competitive bid process at the Company's option.
Facilities fees from 1/4% to 3/8% per annum are charged on
the
unused portion of this line.
Working capital needs have generally been met from net
cash provided from operating activities. The
Company has $4,150,000 in unsecured working capital lines of
credit with a bank, $1,702,000 of which was available
at September 29, 1995. Interest is at a rate based upon the
Eurodollar rates with facility fees at 1/4% per annum on the
unused portion of the line.
The Company anticipates that its existing credit
facilities along with cash flow from operations will be
sufficient to fund operating expenses, capital expenditures,
and debt service.
Results of Operations
Operating revenue for the third quarter and first nine
months of 1995 increased 15.4% and 14.5% over the
comparable periods of 1994. The increase in operating
revenue in the third quarter consisted of a 4.5% increase
from
the Company's traditional over-the-road truckload business,
of which a 6.7% increase came from the owner-operator
division, a 1.8% decrease from rail services, 3.6% increase
from transportation brokerage services, 1.9% increase from
international services, and 7.2% increase from the addition
of our new dry-van over-the-road truckload division. The
increase in operating revenue in the first nine months of
1995 consisted of a 3.4% increase from the Company's
traditional over-the-road truckload business, of which a
6.8% increase came from the owner-operator division, an 0.6%
decrease from rail services, 4.4% increase from
transportation brokerage services, 2.9% increase from
international services, and 4.4% increase from the addition
of our new dry-van over-the-road truckload division. The increase in
revenue resulted from an increase in available
Company-operated equipment. The average number of Company
operated trucks in the third quarter and first nine months
of 1995 increased by approximately 15.0% and 12.2%, from
the comparable periods in 1994.
The operating ratio increased from 93.4% to 98.9% for
the third quarter and from 93.7% to 97.1% for the first
nine months of 1995 compared to the same periods in 1994.
During the third quarter of 1995 operating revenues and
results, particularly in our trucking and rail operations,
were affected by continuing softening in demand for
transportation services which has plagued the industry in
recent months. During the first nine months of 1995,
operating revenues were affected by the West Coast flooding, a
Canadian National Railway strike and the continuing
industry-wide softness in the transportation market. The
relative change in the components of operating expenses
during 1995 reflects the increase in purchased transportation by the
newer operating divisions as compared to 1994, and the
increase in equipment rent regarding the new operating leases for
tractors and trailers, as previously mentioned. The
increase in gain on sale of revenue equipment during the first nine
months of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994
resulted in a decrease in the operating ratio of 0.3%.
Substantially all of the growth in revenue is from the
newer operations. These divisions are lower margin than the
traditional over-the-road freight operation which increases
the operating ratio overall; however, they are not as capital
intensive.
As a result of the foregoing, net earnings decreased by
$2,083,000 or 133% for the third quarter and by
$3,475,000 or 85% for the first nine months of 1995 from the
comparable periods of 1994. Earnings per share decreased
from $.35 to a loss of $.11 in the third quarter of 1995 and
decreased from $.90 to $.13 in the first nine months of 1995
compared to the same periods of 1994.
Seasonality
In the transportation industry, results of operations
generally show a seasonal pattern because customers reduce
shipments during and after the winter holiday season with
its attendant weather variations. The Company's operating
expenses have historically been higher in the winter months
primarily due to decreased fuel efficiency and increased
maintenance costs in colder weather.
