4. Comprehensive Income
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," total comprehensive income for the three
months ended October 2, 1999, and October 3, 1998, was approximately $7.2
million and $6.4 million, respectively and the nine months ended October 2,
1999, and October 3, 1998 was $16.4 million and $18.1 million respectively. The
adjustment for comprehensive income is related to the Company's foreign currency
translation.
5. Subsequent Event
On October 21, 1999, the Company announced it had completed the acquisition of
Harris Corporation's Suppression Products Group for $25.7 million in cash. The
purchase was funded with cash on hand and $20 million from the Company's
existing credit facility. The Suppression Products Group manufactures and
markets a broad line of transient voltage suppression devices. With this new
line of products, the Company expands its circuit protection business to include
some segments of the overvoltage protection market.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Third Quarter, 1999
Sales increased 6 % to $73.3 million in the third quarter this year compared to
$69.0 million in the third quarter of 1998. Gross margin was 40.0% this year
compared to 37.5 % in the same period of the prior year. Operating income
increased to 15.7 % of sales in the third quarter of 1999 compared to 13.4% in
the prior year. Net income increased 23 % to $6.6 million in the third quarter
this year compared to $5.4 million in the third quarter of last year and diluted
earnings per share increased 30% to $0.30 in the third quarter this year
compared to $0.23 per diluted share in the same quarter last year.
Third quarter 1999 sales increased $4.3 million compared to the same quarter in
the prior year. Growth in domestic electronic and power fuse sales was offset by
a decline in automotive aftermarket sales, resulting in flat sales for North
America. Sales grew 5 % in constant currency and declined 1 % in dollars in
Europe due to currency effects and lower automotive sales. Increased Southeast
Asian and Korean electronics sales along with favorable currency effects
contributed to a 29 % sales increase in the Asia-Pacific region. In constant
currency, sales increased 22 % in the Asia-Pacific region.
Electronic sales increased to $38.6 million in the third quarter of 1999 from
$33.8 million in the same quarter of last year for an increase of $4.8 million
or 14 %. Automotive sales declined to $23.4 million in the third quarter 1999
from $24.2 million the same quarter last year for a decrease of $0.8 million or
3 %. The decrease was due to lower domestic automotive aftermarket sales
resulting primarily from supplier delays. Power fuse sales grew to $11.3 million
in the third quarter 1999 from $11.1 million the same quarter last year for an
increase of $0.2 million or 2 %.
Gross profit was $29.3 million or 40.0 % of sales for the third quarter of 1999
compared to $25.9 million or 37.5 % in the same quarter last year, primarily due
to continued cost reduction efforts and increased unit volume.
Operating expenses were $16.0 million or 21.9 % of sales for the third quarter
1999, compared to $15.1 million or 21.8 % of sales for the same quarter in the
prior year. The amortization of the reorganization value and other intangibles
was 2.4 % of sales for the third quarter of 1999, compared to 2.3 % of sales in
the third quarter of 1998. Total operating expenses, including intangible
amortization, were 24.3 % of sales in the third quarter 1999 compared to 24.2%
of sales in the same quarter last year.
Operating income was $11.5 million or 15.7 % of sales for the third quarter 1999
compared to $9.2 million or 13.4 % of sales for the same quarter of last year.
Interest expense was $1.3 million in the third quarter of this year compared to
$0.9 million in the third quarter last year due to higher average debt levels.
Other income was $0.4 million for the third quarter of 1999 compared to $0.2
million of other expense in the third quarter of the prior year.
Income before income taxes was $10.6 million for the third quarter 1999 compared
to $8.5 million for the third quarter of 1998. Income taxes were $4.0 million
with an effective tax rate of 38% for the third quarter 1999 compared to $3.2
million with an effective tax rate of 37 % in the third quarter of last year.
Net income for the third quarter 1999 was $6.6 million or $0.30 per diluted
share compared to $5.4 million or $0.23 per diluted share for the same quarter
of last year.
Nine Months, 1999
Sales increased 3 % to $214.4 million from $207.5 million last year. Operating
income increased 12 % to $31.5 million from $28.2 million the first nine months
of last year. Net income increased 5 % to $17.6 million from $16.7 million last
year. Earnings per diluted share increased 13 % to $0.81 the first nine months
of 1999 compared to $0.72 for the same period last year.
Nine months electronics sales were up 4 % at $107.0 million compared to $102.4
million last year, as strong Asia Pacific sales and improving European
electronic sales more than offset lower Americas electronic sales. Automotive
sales were up 1 % at $74.9 million compared to $74.0 million last year, as
higher OEM sales were partially offset by sales declines in the automotive
aftermarket.
Power fuse sales were up 5 % to $32.5 million from $31.1 million last year.
Gross profit was $83.2 million or 38.8 % for the first nine months of 1999
compared to $78.8 million or 38.0 % the first nine months of last year. The
improvement in gross profit is primarily attributable to continued cost
reduction efforts.
Operating expenses were 21.7 % of sales for the first nine months of 1999
compared to 21.9 % last year. The amortization of intangibles was 2.4 % of sales
for the first nine months of 1999 compared to 2.5 % last year. Total operating
expenses including intangibles amortization were 24.1 % of sales the first nine
months 1999 compared to 24.4 % of sales the first nine months of last year.
Operating income increased to $31.5 million or 14.7 % of sales in the first nine
months 1999 compared to $28.2 million or 13.6 % last year due to increases in
gross profit.
Interest expense was $4.0 million for the first nine months 1999 compared to
$2.6 million for the first nine months of last year. Other income was $1.0
million for the first nine months of 1999 compared to other expense of $0.5
million for the same period last year. Income before taxes was $28.4 million for
the first nine months of 1999 compared to $25.0 million for the first nine
months of last year. Income taxes were $10.8 million the first nine months 1999
compared to $8.3 million last year. Income taxes in 1998 were lower because of a
one-time event related to consolidation of Korean operations.
Net income for the first nine months of 1999 increased 5 % to $17.6 million from
$16.7 million for the same period last year. Earnings per share for the first
nine months of 1999 increased 13 % to $0.81 per diluted share compared to $0.72
per diluted share last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Assuming no material adverse changes in market conditions or interest rates,
management expects that the Company will have sufficient cash from operations to
support both its operations and its current debt obligations for the foreseeable
future.
Littelfuse started the 1999 year with $27.9 million of cash. Net cash provided
by operations was $21.6 million for the first nine months. Cash used to invest
in property, plant and equipment was $16.5 million. Cash used to repay long term
debt and to repurchase stock was $25.5 million. In addition, proceeds from
warrant and stock option exercises were $1.2 million, resulting in net financing
activities use of cash of $24.3 million. The net decrease in cash for the nine
months ended October 2, 1999 was $19.3 million. This left the Company with a
cash balance of approximately $8.6 million at October 2, 1999.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.9 to 1 at the end of
the third quarter 1999 compared to 2.1 to 1 at year end 1998 and 2.6 to 1 at the
end of the third quarter 1998. The days sales in receivables was approximately
72 days at the end of the third quarter 1999 compared to 62 days at year end
1998 and 57 days at third quarter end 1998. The increase in days sales in
receivables is due primarily to delays in collection of money caused primarily
by invoicing problems related to conversion to a new system at the start of the
third quarter. Management believes that the invoicing problems have been
resolved and is expecting a reduction in accounts receivable in the fourth
quarter of this year. The days inventory outstanding was approximately 82 days
at third quarter end 1999 compared to 81 days at year end 1998 and 76 days at
third quarter end 1998.
The Company's capital expenditures were $5.1 million for the third quarter of
1999 and $16.5 million through nine months of 1999, primarily for new machinery,
equipment and information systems. The Company expects that capital expenditures
for the year 1999 will be approximately $20-22 million.
The long-term debt at the end of the third quarter 1999 consisted of four types
totaling $70.3 million. They are as follows: (1) private placement notes
totaling $64.0 million, (2) foreign revolver borrowings totaling $3.6 million,
(3) notes payable relating to mortgages totaling $0.5 million, and (4) other
long-term debt, including capital leases, totaling $2.2 million. These four
items include $14.9 million of senior notes and mortgage notes, which are
considered to be current. This leaves net long-term debt totaling $55.4 million
at October 2, 1999. The private placement notes carry interest rates of 6.31%
and 6.16%. The Company has in place a $55.0 million revolving credit facility,
none of which was drawn on October 2, 1999. The Company also has an $8.0 million
letter of credit facility, of which approximately $1.9 million was being used at
October 2, 1999.
<PAGE>
Year 2000
The Company utilizes software, hardware and related computer technologies
essential to its operations that use two digits rather than four to specify the
applicable year, which could result in a date recognition problem with the
transition to the year 2000.
Littelfuse has surveyed its significant suppliers of raw materials, service
suppliers and customers about the status of their year 2000 projects. All
high-risk suppliers have been identified and second sources qualified. A
contingency plan is in place that will pull forward the purchase of critical raw
materials during the fourth quarter to ensure adequate inventories during the
first months of the year 2000. Follow-ups are scheduled as appropriate to insure
compliance and management will decide if the contingency plan is necessary.
As of July 3, 1999, the Company had completed 100% of the remediation phase for
its mission critical information technology, operating equipment systems and
external interface exposures.
The Company utilized both internal and external resources to reprogram or
replace, test, and implement the software, operating equipment and external
interfaces for year 2000 modifications. The Company has incurred costs totaling
approximately $11.0 million, $1.0 million of which has been expensed and $10.0
million of which has been capitalized, related to all phases of the year 2000
project.
The Company believes that the foregoing statements are in conformity with the
Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act (Public Law 105-271, 112
Stat. 2386), and all of the foregoing statements are designated as Year 2000
Readiness Disclosures thereunder. The protection of this act does not apply to
federal securities fraud.
Business Segment Information
The Company designs, manufactures, and sells circuit protection devices
throughout the world. The Company has three reportable geographic segments: The
Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The circuit protection market in these
geographical segments is categorized into three major product areas: electronic,
automotive and power fuses.
The Company evaluates the performance of each geographic segment based on its
net income or loss. The Company also accounts for intersegment sales as if the
sales were to third parties.
The Company's reportable segments are the business units where the revenue is
earned and expenses are incurred. The Company has subsidiaries in The Americas,
Europe, and Asia-Pacific where each region is measured based on its sales and
operating income or loss.
Information concerning the operations in these geographic segments for the
period ended October 2, 1999 and October 3, 1998, is as follows (in thousands):
