THE DIAL CORP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - Basis of Preparation
This information should be read in connection with the financial
statements set forth in The Dial Corp Annual Report to Shareholders
for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Accounting policies utilized in the preparation of the financial
information herein presented are the same as set forth in The Dial
Corp's annual financial statements except as modified for interim
accounting policies which are within the guidelines set forth in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28. The interim
consolidated financial information is unaudited. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
June 30, 1994, and the results of operations for the quarters and
six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, and the cash flows for the
six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, have been included. Interim
results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations for the full year.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year's financial
statements to conform to 1994 classifications.
NOTE B - Stock Split
On May 10, 1994, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock
split which was distributed on July 1, 1994, to shareholders of
record as of June 1, 1994. All references in the financial
statements with regard to number of shares of common stock and
related dividends declared and income per share amounts have been
restated to reflect the stock split.
NOTE C - Investments Restricted for Payment Service Obligations
On January 1, 1994, The Dial Corp adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No. 115 requires
the classification of securities at acquisition into one of three
categories: held to maturity, available for sale, or trading--with
different reporting requirements for each classification.
At June 30, 1994, investments restricted for payment service
obligations include securities having a fair market value of $425.5
million which were classified as "Available for Sale", and the
after-tax adjustment necessary to mark them to market reduced
stockholders' equity by $12.7 million. This adjustment had no
effect on the current results of operations. The $265.2 million
($249.5 million fair value) balance of investments restricted for
payment service obligations was classified as "Held to Maturity" and
is reported at amortized cost.
Page 7
NOTE D - Other Matters
At June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, Dial reclassified
$318 million and $225 million, respectively, of short-term
borrowings, supported by unused long-term revolving credit
agreements, as long-term debt.
NOTE E - Income Taxes
A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes and the amount
that would be computed using statutory federal income tax rates on
income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30,
is as follows:

for the 1993 quarter and by $2,936,000 and $1,517,000, respectively, for the
1994 and 1993 six month periods.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Results:
There were no material changes in the nature of Dial's business, nor
were there any other changes in the general characteristics of its
operations as described and discussed in the first paragraph of the
results section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition presented in The Dial Corp Annual
Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Comparison of Second Quarter of 1994 with Second Quarter of 1993:
In the second quarter of 1994, revenues increased 20 percent to $931.9
million from $774.0 million in the 1993 quarter.
Second quarter income from continuing operations was $43.4 million in
the quarter, or $0.50 per share. This was a per share increase of 32
percent over 1993's income from continuing operations of $33.4 million,
or $0.38 per share, and an increase of 9 percent from 1993's net income
of $39.7 million, or $0.46 per share.
Consumer Products
The Consumer Products Group's revenues were up $23.0 million or 6
percent from those in the 1993 second quarter. Operating income was up
$6.5 million or 15 percent over 1993 amounts.
Skin Care division revenues and operating income declined $16.1 million
and $2.0 million, respectively, from that in the second quarter of
1993. Soap sales volumes declined largely due to a program to improve
profitability by more efficient use of trade promotion spending, which
resulted in some sales being passed up. Market share of Dial soap is
up year over year reflecting healthy consumer take-away of products.
Operating income was down due to the decline in revenues, offset
partially by reduced marketing expenses and the favorable impact of
other profit improvement projects.
Food division revenues increased $2.1 million from those in the 1993
second quarter. Operating income increased $897,000 compared to that
in the prior year due primarily to lower ingredient costs.
The Household division revenues and operating income increased $18.8
million and $5.1 million, respectively. The comparable 1993 quarter
had Renuzit air freshener results for only part of the period following
its acquisition in mid-May 1993. A strong performance by scouring pads
also contributed to the division's results.
Laundry division revenues and operating income increased $17.2 million
and $1.6 million, respectively from the second quarter of 1993, led by
a strong growth in Purex liquid detergents.
Page 10
International division revenues and operating income increased $1.0
million and $922,000, respectively, from the 1993 second quarter led by
revenue increases from Mexico and Canada. Operating results in 1993
had been negatively impacted by expansion and product introduction
costs.
Services
Combined Services revenues increased $135.0 million, or 35 percent and
operating income increased $9.3 million, or 26 percent in the quarter,
aided by the impact of 1993 acquisitions of convention services
businesses and the continuing phase-in of the United Airlines flight
kitchens during the quarter.
Airline Catering and Other Food Services. Airline Catering
and Other Food Service revenues increased $80.0 million, or 55 percent
and operating income increased $5.2 million or 48 percent over the 1993
quarter, as start-up of newly acquired flight kitchens continued.
Convention Services. Convention Services revenues
increased $54.2 million, or 66 percent while operating income increased
$7.5 million, more than double that in the 1993 quarter. Last year
included only one month of results from the acquisition of United
Exposition Service. Improved results were due primarily to the United
and Andrews, Bartlett acquisitions in 1993 and the operating
efficiencies being achieved with the merged operations.
Travel and Leisure and Payment Services. Revenues for the
Travel and Leisure and Payment Services Group increased $810,000, while
operating income declined $2.9 million or 16 percent on a fully taxable
equivalent basis.
Canadian transportation services companies revenues and operating
income declined $4.4 million and $877,000, respectively, from that in
the 1993 second quarter. The reductions were due primarily to reduced
passenger revenues, offset partially by increased revenues in the
courier express, charter and sightseeing businesses. Ongoing cost
control programs helped limit the decline in operating income.
Cruise revenues were down $2.9 million from 1993's results due to lower
passenger counts. Cruise operating income declined $2.8 million from
1993's levels due largely to the decline in revenues.
Duty Free and shipboard concession revenues increased by $2.0 million
due primarily to increased passenger days associated with new business.
Operating income increased by $186,000.
On a fully taxable equivalent basis, payment services had a $1.9
million increase in revenues and a $320,000 increase in operating
income over the 1993 quarter.
Page 11
Unallocated corporate expense and other items, net
Unallocated corporate expense and other items, net, decreased $719,000
from the second quarter of 1993.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was down $537,000 from that of the second quarter of
1993. The prepayment of certain high-coupon, fixed-rate debt at the
end of the 1993 third quarter contributed to the decline. Increased
debt levels primarily due to the payments for the United Airlines
kitchens and higher short-term interest rates offset some of the debt
restructuring savings.
Comparison of First Six Months of 1994 with
First Six Months of 1993:
Revenues for the first half of 1994 were $1.7 billion, up 22 percent
over 1993's $1.4 billion for the same period.
Income from continuing operations and net income for the six months
ended June 30, 1994, was $60.6 million, or $0.70 per share, a per share
increase of 37 percent over last year's income from continuing
operations of $44.5 million, or $0.51 per share and a per share
increase of 11 percent from 1993's net income of $54.3 million, or
$0.63 per share.
Consumer Products
The Consumer Products Group's revenues were up $60.1 million or 9
percent from that in the 1993 first half. Operating income was up
$11.0 million or 16 percent over 1993 amounts.
Skin Care division revenues and operating income decreased $20.4
million and $4.2 million, respectively, from those in the first half of
1993. While market share is up over 1993, soap sales volumes declined
largely due to a program to improve profitability by more efficient use
of trade promotion spending. Also, the high volume of sales in late
1993 reduced first quarter 1994 trade demand.
Food division revenues increased $327,000 from that in the first six
months of 1993. Operating income increased $1.3 million compared to
the first half of 1993 due primarily to reduced manufacturing costs.
Household division revenues and operating income increased $46.2
million and $8.4 million, respectively, from that in the 1993 first six
months. The acquisition of Renuzit, completed in May of 1993,
contributed to the favorable comparisons between periods. First half
results for scouring pads also contributed to the increases, offset
partially by declines in ammonia products.
Laundry division revenues and operating income increased $31.2 million
and $3.0 million, respectively, led by Purex liquid detergents.
Page 12
International division revenues and operating income increased $2.8
million and $2.5 million, respectively, from the first half of 1993.
Revenue growth resulted from product and business expansion in Mexico
and Canada. Operating results in 1993 had been negatively impacted by
expansion and product introduction costs.
Services
Combined Services revenues and operating income were up $244.7 million
and $14.8 million, respectively, from that of the first half of 1993.
Results were aided by the impact of the 1993 acquisitions of convention
services businesses and the phase-in of the United Airlines flight
kitchens during the 1994 first six months.
Airline Catering and Other Food Services. Airline Catering
and Other Food Service revenues and operating income increased $108.6
million and $6.0 million, respectively, as the start-up of newly
acquired flight kitchens continued during the 1994 first half.
Convention Services. Convention Services revenues
increased $113.7 million while operating income increased $13.9
million, more than double that in the 1993 first six months. Improved
results were due primarily to the United Exposition Service and
Andrews, Bartlett acquisitions during the second and fourth quarters of
1993, respectively, and the operating efficiencies being achieved with
the merged operations.
Travel and Leisure and Payment Services. Revenues for the
Travel and Leisure and Payment Services Group increased $22.3 million,
while operating income declined $5.2 million from the 1993 first half.
On a fully taxable equivalent basis, operating income was only down
$3.8 million.
Revenues and operating income of the Canadian transportation services
companies decreased $6.8 million and $670,000, respectively, from that
of the first six months of 1993 due primarily to declining ridership,
offset partially by increased revenues related to the courier express,
charter and sightseeing operations.
Cruise revenues declined $546,000 from that of the first six months of
1993. Revenues were down due to lower passenger counts. Operating
results declined $5.8 million from 1993's first half due to the decline
in revenues and a number of cost factors, including timing issues and
lower 1993 expenses due to a four week drydock of one vessel.
Duty Free and shipboard concession revenues and operating income
increased by $15.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, due
primarily to increased passenger days associated with new business. A
favorable product mix and continued emphasis on controlling costs
contributed to the increase in operating income.

On a fully taxable equivalent basis, payment services had a $7.0
million increase in revenues and a $1.9 million increase in operating
income.
Unallocated corporate expense and other items, net
Unallocated corporate expense and other items, net, declined $613,000
from that of the first six months of 1993.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was down $1.5 million from the first six months of
1993. As mentioned previously, the decline was due to the prepayment
of certain high-coupon, fixed-rate debt at the end of the 1993 third
quarter, offset partially by increased debt levels related to the
United Airlines kitchens acquisitions during the first half of 1994 and
higher short-term interest rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The Dial Corp's total debt at June 30, 1994 was $788.2 million compared
to $635.9 million at December 31, 1993. The debt to capital ratio at
June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993 was 0.60 to 1 and 0.55 to 1,
respectively. The increase in debt was primarily attributable to
previously announced acquisitions made during the first six months of
1994 together with an increase in working capital.
In July 1994, a Shelf Registration with the Securities and Exchange
Commission became effective. Under the Shelf Registration, Dial can
issue up to an aggregate $500 million of debt and/or equity securities.
There is no intention to issue any equity securities at the present
time. The filing increases Dial's financing flexibility in the future.
There were no material changes in The Dial Corp's financial condition
nor were there any substantive changes relative to matters discussed in
the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition as
presented in The Dial Corp Annual Report to Shareholders for the
year ended December 31, 1993.
