NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.
Operating results for Georgia Gulf Corporation and its subsidiaries
("the Company") for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30,
1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report for the year
ended December 31, 1995.
NOTE 2: INVENTORIES
The major classes of inventories were as follows (in thousands):
June 30, December 31,
1996 1995
Raw materials and supplies $ 29,995 $ 23,973
Finished goods 47,883 51,076
$ 77,878 $ 75,049
NOTE 3: STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company purchased 1,672,200 shares of its common stock for
$56,134,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996. As of June 30,
1996, the Company had authorization to purchase up to 1,127,000
additional shares under the current common stock repurchase program.
NOTE 4: DISPOSITION
In April 1996, the Company completed the sale of its Delaware City,
Delaware facility, and its emulsion resin business. Under the terms of
the sale agreement, the Company has the right to continue to operate
its vinyl compound assets located at the Delaware City facility for an
eighteen-month period. During this period, the majority of the
Delaware City vinyl compound production will be transferred to the
Company's recently expanded vinyl compound plant in Gallman,
Mississippi. It is the Company's intention to complete this transition
by the end of the third quarter of 1996. The proceeds from the sale
approximated the net book value of the disposed assets.<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Second Quarter of 1996 Compared with the Second Quarter of 1995:
For the second quarter ended June 30, 1996, net income per common share
was $0.52 on net income of $19.3 million and net sales of $231.4
million. This compares to net income per common share of $1.30, net
income of $50.8 million and net sales of $275.8 million for the second
quarter of 1995.
Operating income for the second quarter of 1996 was $36.2 million, a
decrease of 60 percent from $89.5 million for the same period in 1995.
Sales pricing for nearly all of the Company's products was lower for
the second quarter of 1996 as compared to prior year levels with the
sharpest declines occurring in the Company's vinyl products chain.
Sales volumes were slightly lower for the second quarter of 1996 as
compared to the second quarter of 1995 as a result of both scheduled
and unscheduled downtime in operations.
Selling and administrative expenses were $10.9 million for the second
quarter of 1996, compared to $12.3 million for the same period in 1995.
This decrease was primarily attributable to reduced charges relating to
the Company's profit sharing programs for the second quarter of 1996 as
a result of lower profits.
Net interest expense declined $1.9 million when comparing the second
quarter of 1996 to the same period in 1995. This decline was mainly
attributable to reduced interest rates in connection with the
redemption of the Company's 15% Senior Subordinated Notes early in the
second quarter of 1995.
<PAGE>
Six Months ended June 30, 1996, Compared with Six Months Ended June 30,
1995
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net income per common share was
$0.94 on net income of $35.1 million and net sales of $439.4 million.
This compares to net income per common share of $2.74, net income of
$111.0 million, and net sales of $589.9 million for the same period in
1995.
Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $66.3
million, a decrease of 66 percent from $196.1 million for the same
period in 1995. This decrease resulted from declines in sales pricing
for nearly all of the Company's products. The sharpest declines
occurred in the Company's vinyl products chain and from the lower
methanol pricing in 1996 as compared to the record high levels during
the early part of 1995. Sales volumes were also lower in 1996 as a
result of scheduled and unscheduled downtime attributable to the tie-in
of the cumene expansion project and weather-related problems.
Selling and administrative expenses were $21.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $23.9 million for the same
period in 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from reduced charges
relating to the Company's profit sharing programs for the six months
ended June 30, 1996. These reduced charges were offset in part by
increased costs in 1996 associated with the revolving trade receivables
sales program which began during the second quarter of 1995.
Net interest expense declined $6.0 million when comparing the first six
months of 1996 to the same period in 1995. This decline was
attributable to reduced interest rates in connection with the
redemption of the Company's 15% Senior Subordinated Notes early in the
second quarter of 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended June 30, 1996, $53.1 million of cash was
generated by operating activities as compared to $159.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1995. This reduction in cash flow resulted
from lower net income in 1996 and working capital fluctuations in 1995.
The majority of the change in working capital in 1995 was attributable
to a $50.0 million sale of trade receivables under the revolving trade
receivables sales program offset in part by a decrease in accrued
income taxes.
Debt increased by $56.1 million during the six months ended June 30,
1996, to a level of $348.5 million which consisted of a $100 million
ten-year public bond issue, a $100 million seven-year term loan, an
outstanding balance of $122.5 million under a $350 million revolving
credit loan and two additional loans with an aggregate balance of $26.0
million.
Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1996, were $56.3
million as compared to $31.7 million for the same 1995 period. Major
capital projects completed during the first half of 1996 included a
vinyl compound expansion in Gallman, Mississippi and a modernization
and expansion of the Pasadena, Texas cumene plant. Additional projects
currently under construction include a vinyl chloride monomer ("VCM")
expansion scheduled for completion during the fourth quarter of 1996,
an air separation plant also scheduled to come on-line during the
fourth quarter of 1996, and an expansion of the phenol\acetone plant
scheduled to be completed in early 1997. The Company estimates that
capital expenditures for 1996 will approximate $130.0 million.
Although not part of the Company's capital expenditure program, a 250
megawatt co-generation facility is also being constructed at the
Plaquemine, Louisiana complex. The co-generation facility, which will
be leased by the Company under an operating lease agreement, is
scheduled for completion during the third quarter of 1997.
The Company declared dividends of $0.16 per share or $5.9 million
during the first six months of 1996. The Company also purchased 1.672
million shares of its common stock at a cost of $56.1 million. As of
June 30, 1996, the Company had authorization to purchase up to 1.127
million additional shares under the current stock repurchase program.
Management believes that cash provided by operations and the
availability under the Company's current debt agreements will provide
sufficient funds to support planned capital expenditures, dividends,
stock repurchases, working capital fluctuations, and debt service
requirements.
