1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Global DirectMail Corp ("Global" or the "Company") was incorporated in
April 1995 and is the successor to several corporations owned by related
shareholders. In connection with the consummation of an initial public
offering in June 1995 (the "Initial Public Offering"), the shareholders of
these predecessor companies exchanged all of their outstanding capital stock
for 28,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, Global sold 8,308,750 shares
and in March 1996 the Company completed an additional public offering of
1,000,000 shares.
Net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 were computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares and share equivalents outstanding for the respective periods.
All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of June 30,1997 and the results of operations for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and changes in stockholders' equity
for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The December 31, 1996 Balance
Sheet has been extracted from the audited consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1996.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements
as of December 31, 1996 and for the period then ended. The results for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results for an entire year.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30,
1996
Net sales increased by $45.8 million or 21% to $259.5 million in the
second quarter of 1997 from $213.7 million in the second quarter of 1996. The
increase was attributable to (i) an increase in average order value to $303 in
the second quarter of 1997 from $262 in the second quarter of 1996, (ii) an
increase in the number of orders to 856,000 in the second quarter of 1997 from
816,000 in the second quarter of 1996, and (iii) an increase in catalog
response rates to 2.1% in the second quarter of 1997 from 2.0% in the second
quarter of 1996 on catalog mailings that were level with the year ago quarter.
Catalog response rates are calculated as the number of orders entered during
the period divided by the number of catalogs mailed during the period. Sales
attributable to the Company's North American operations increased 20% to
$191.9 million in the second quarter of 1997 from $160.2 million in the second
quarter of 1996 while European sales increased 26% to $67.6 million in the
second quarter 1997 from $53.5 million in the second quarter of 1996.
Gross profit, which consists of net sales less product and certain
shipping and distribution center costs, increased by $4.1 million or 7% to
$64.2 million in the second quarter of 1997 from $60.1 million in the second
quarter of 1996. Gross profit margin decreased to 24.7% of net sales in the
second quarter of 1997 from 28.1% in the second quarter of 1996. The decrease
in gross profit margin was primarily due to the Company's strategic decision
to increase the proportion of net sales attributable to brand name products,
particularly computer related products and hardware which also have lower
gross profit margins than many of the Company's other products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage
of sales, to 17.8% in the second quarter of 1997 from 20.9% in the second
quarter of 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in
absolute terms by $1.7 million or 4% to $46.3 million in the second quarter of
1997 from $44.6 million in the second quarter of 1996. The decrease as a
percentage of net sales was primarily the result of (i) increased levels of
vendor supported advertising, (ii) continued expense control, and (iii) the
leveraging of selling, general and administrative expenses over a larger sales
base.
Income from operations increased by $2.4 million or 16% to $17.9 million
from $15.5 million in the year ago quarter. Income from operations for the
second quarter of 1997 as a percentage of net sales decreased to 6.9% from 7.2%
in the year ago quarter. Income from operations in North America increased by
about 20% or $2.9 million over the year ago quarter. Income from operations
in Europe decreased by $0.5 million or 70% from the year ago quarter due to the
reduction in the European gross profit margin, which resulted from increased
sales of brand name products. The decrease in gross profit margin was only
partially offset by increases in vendor supported advertising.
Interest and other income, net, increased by $0.4 million to income of
$0.8 million in the second quarter of 1997 from income of $0.4 million in the
second quarter of 1996. Interest income increased as a result of higher
interest rates for the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter
of 1996.
Net income increased $1.9 million to $11.7 million in the second quarter
of 1997 from $9.8 million in the second quarter of 1996. The effective tax
rate for the second quarter of 1997 was 37.5% compared to 38.5% for the second
quarter of 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary capital needs are (i) to fund the working capital
requirements necessitated by its sales growth and, (ii) acquisitions. The
Company's primary sources of financing have been cash from operations, equity
offerings, and to a lesser extent, bank borrowings.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
Net sales increased by $100.6 million or 23% to $533.0 million in the
first six months of 1997 from $432.4 million in the first six months of 1996.
The increase was attributable to (i) an increase in average order value to $297
in the first six months of 1997 from $254 in the first six months of 1996,
(ii) an increase in the number of orders to 1,795,000 in the first six months
of 1997 from 1,703,000 in the first six months of 1996, and (iii) an increase
in catalog response rates to 2.2% in the first six months of 1997 from 2.0% in
the first six months of 1996 on catalog mailings that were level with last
year. Catalog response rates are calculated as the number of orders entered
during the period divided by the number of catalogs mailed during the
period. Sales attributable to the Company's North American operations
increased 26% to $395.0 million in the first six months of 1997 from $312.4
million in the first six months of 1996 while European sales increased 15%
to $138.0 million in the first six months 1997 from $120.0 million in the
first six months of 1996.
Gross profit, which consists of net sales less product and certain
shipping and distribution center costs, increased by $8.5 million or 7% to
$133.6 million in the first six months of 1997 from $125.1 million in the
first six months of 1996. Gross profit margin decreased to 25.1% of net sales
in the first six months of 1997 from 28.9% in the first six months of 1996.
The decrease in gross profit margin is due to the Company's strategic decision
to increase the proportion of net sales attributable to brand name products,
particularly computer related products and hardware which typically have lower
gross profit margins than many of the Company's other products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage
of sales, to 18.2% in the first six months of 1997 from 21.1% in the first six
months of 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in
absolute terms by $5.8 million or 6% to $97.1 million in the first six months
of 1997 from $91.3 million in the first six months of 1996. The decrease as a
percentage of net sales was primarily the result of (i) increased levels of
vendor supported advertising, (ii) continued expense control, and (iii) the
leveraging of selling, general and administrative expenses over a larger sales
base.
Income from operations increased by $2.7 million or 8% to $36.5 million
for the first six months of 1997 from $33.8 million for the first six months
of 1996. Income from operations for the first six months of 1997 as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 6.9% for the first six months of 1997
from 7.8% for the first six months of 1996. Income from operations in North
America increased by $6.2 million or 21% over the first six months of 1996.
Income from operations in Europe decreased by $3.4 million or 94% from the
first six months of due to the reduction in the European gross profit margin,
which resulted from increased sales of brand name products. The decrease in
gross profit margin was only partially offset by increases in vendor supported
advertising.
Interest and other income, net, increased by $0.8 million to income of
$1.5 million in the first six months of 1997 from income of $0.7 million in
the first six months of 1996. Interest income increased as a result of
higher levels of short term investments and higher interest rates for the
first six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996.
Net income increased $2.6 million to $23.8 million in the first six
months of 1997 from $21.2 million in the first six months of 1996. The
effective tax rate for the first six months of 1997 was 37.5% compared to
38.5% for the first six months of 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary capital needs are (i) to fund the working capital
requirements necessitated by its sales growth and, (ii) acquisitions. The
Company's primary sources of financing have been cash from operations, equity
offerings, and to a lesser extent, bank borrowings.
