Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Capital Resources and Liquidity
- --------------------------------
The Company's capitalization at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 is
shown in millions of dollars in the table below. The amount of additional
capital available through the Company's revolving bank credit agreements
and commercial paper program is also shown, along with the amount of cash
and cash equivalents.
March 31, December 31,
1995 1994
------------ ------------
Long-term debt outstanding:
Scheduled maturities $ 146.9 $ 146.6
Revolving credit/commercial paper 59.8 58.3
------- -------
Total long-term debt 206.7 204.9
Shareholders' equity 653.6 625.2
Unused committed credit 165.2 156.7
Cash and cash equivalents 3.1 2.7
In the first quarter of 1995, capital investments to modernize and expand
capacity internally were $26.5 million. The Company also purchased
certain assets of one small business for $1.6 million, net of cash
acquired. Total long-term debt at March 31, 1995 increased only slightly
from the end of 1994 as funds for these investments were largely provided
by first quarter operating activities.
Working capital at quarter-end was $333.3 million, up from $311.8 million
at the end of 1994. Total current assets increased $44.7 million, due
primarily to increases in trade accounts and notes receivable and
inventories. Total current liabilities increased $23.2 million. These
increases primarily reflected higher sales and production volumes during
the first three months of 1995 as well as normal recurring liabilities
with funding requirements later in the year. There was no short-term debt
outstanding at the end of the quarter or at year end.
Results of Operations
- ----------------------
The Company had record first quarter sales and earnings in 1995. Sales
were $523.1 million (up 20%) and earnings were $.78 per share (up 24%) ---
both compared with the first quarter of 1994.
The Company's first quarter sales reflected a continuing benefit from
acquisitions and internal growth. In line with management's previous
expectations, the Company's sales growth rate has recently begun to
moderate as overall economic activity has begun to soften. Excluding
acquisitions, sales increased 6% in the first quarter.
The Company's earnings growth continued to exceed sales growth as year-
to-year comparisons of net profit margins remained favorable. In the
first quarter of 1995 and the last three quarters of 1994, net profit
margins were 6.3% of sales. This compares with a net profit margin of 6.0%
in the first quarter of 1994.
The following table shows various measures of earnings, as a percentage of
sales, in the first quarters of 1995 and 1994. It also shows the Company's
effective income tax rate in each respective period.
Quarter Ended
March 31,
1995 1994
------ ------
Gross profit margin 23.3% 22.7%
Pre-tax profit margin 10.4 9.8
Net profit margin 6.3 6.0
Effective income tax rate 39.3 39.3
The increase in the 1995 net profit margin primarily reflected an
improvement in the gross profit margin. Although the Company experienced
increasing prices for raw materials, these increased costs were
approximately offset by modest selling price increases, some of which
became effective near the end of 1994. In addition, the improvement in
the gross profit margin continued to reflect efficiencies gained on
increased sales and production. For the full year in 1994, the gross
profit margin was 23.1% of sales.
An increase in interest expense for the first quarter of 1995 compared
to 1994 primarily reflected increased borrowings for acquisitions, most of
which were completed during the second and third quarters of 1994. The
effective income tax rate was constant quarter to quarter.
With continuing earnings growth and a strong financial position, the Board
of Directors in February 1995 increased the first quarter cash dividend on
the Company's common stock to $.18 per share, up 20% over the first quarter
dividend of $.15 per share in 1994.
