5. STOCK SPLIT
On August 9, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend for shareholders of
record on August 25, 1995. The shares will be distributed to shareholders on
September 15, 1995. Common Stock and Additional Contributed Capital as of
June 30, 1995, and all references to share and per share amounts in the
accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect the split.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
All share and per share amounts have been adjusted for the stock split
discussed in Item I, Note 5.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
-------------------------------
The Company's capitalization at June 30, 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.
June 30, December 31,
1995 1994
----------- -----------
Long-term debt outstanding:
Scheduled maturities $172.2 $146.6
Revolving credit/commercial paper 52.1 58.3
------- -------
Total long-term debt 224.3 204.9
Deferred income taxes and other liabilities 58.3 56.9
Shareholders' equity 689.9 625.2
Unused committed credit 162.9 156.7
Cash and cash equivalents 4.5 2.7
Capital investments to modernize and expand capacity internally were $52.0
million in the first six months of 1995. In addition, the Company paid $1.6
million cash, net of cash acquired, and issued .7 million shares of common
stock to acquire four businesses during this period. Funds for these
investments were largely provided by operating activities, as total long-term
debt outstanding increased $19.4 million since the end of 1994.
During the second quarter of 1995, the Company issued $25 million of medium
term notes with a 10 year maturity and a fixed interest rate of 7%. Proceeds
from these notes were used to repay debt outstanding under the Company's
revolving bank credit/commercial paper arrangements.
Working capital at June 30, 1995 was $362.8 million, up from $311.8 million
at the end of 1994. Total current assets increased $49.2 million, due
primarily to increases in accounts and notes receivable and inventories.
Total current liabilities decreased $1.8 million, as accounts and notes
payable were approximately unchanged and an increase in accrued expenses
was substantially offset by a decrease in other current liabilities. There
was no short-term debt outstanding at the end of the second quarter or at
year-end.
With anticipated cash flows, plus additional debt capacity within management's
guidelines, the Company has substantial capital resources and flexibility
for acquisitions while continuing to pursue opportunities for growth and
profitability through improved operating efficiencies and internal expansion.
Results of Operations
---------------------
The Company had record sales and earnings for the first six months of 1995.
Sales were $1.04 billion (up 18%) and earnings were $.78 per share (up 20%)
-- both compared with records for the first half of 1994. Second quarter
results also set new highs for the quarter. Earnings were $.39 per share
on sales of $517.7 million, both up 15% from the second quarter records
achieved in 1994.
Despite some further softening in the economy, the Company's second quarter
sales, when compared with last year's second quarter, continued to benefit
from internal growth and several acquisitions, most of which were completed
in the second and third quarters of 1994. Acquisitions contributed 11
percentage points to the increase in sales for the quarter and 13 percentage
points to the increase for the first half of 1995. Internal growth
contributed 4 and 5 percentage points, respectively, to the increases in
sales for each of these periods.
The Company's 1995 growth in earnings per share reflected a sustained
improvement in profit margins. The following table shows various measures
of earnings as a percentage of sales in the first six months and second
quarters of both of the last two years. It also shows the Company's effective
income tax rate in each respective period.
Six Months Ended Quarter Ended
June 30, June 30,
1995 1994 1995 1994
------ ------ ------ ------
Gross profit margin 23.5% 23.0% 23.8% 23.2%
Pre-tax profit margin 10.4 10.1 10.5 10.4
Net profit margin 6.3 6.1 6.4 6.3
Effective income tax rate 39.2 39.4 39.1 39.5
The year-to-year increases in net profit margins primarily reflected
improvements in gross profit margins. Efficiencies gained on increased
sales and production in many operations contributed to these improvements.
Although the Company experienced increasing prices for raw materials, these
higher costs have been approximately offset by modest increases in the
Company's selling prices.
Selling, distribution and administrative expenses were 12.3% of sales in the
first half of 1995 and 12.1% in the same period of 1994. In the second
quarter, these expenses were 12.4% of sales in 1995 and 12.1% in 1994.
These increases reflected somewhat higher selling expense.
Interest expense increased to $6.5 million in the first half of 1995, up from
$3.8 million in the first half of 1994. In the second quarter, interest
expense was $3.5 million this year and $2.0 million in 1994. These increases
primarily reflected increased borrowings for acquisitions and partially
offset some of the improvements in operating profit margins.
Cash dividends declared on the Company's common stock were $.09 per share in
both of the first two quarters of 1995. These dividends were 20% higher than
the dividends for the same 1994 periods. Dividends on the stock have been
increased for 24 consecutive years.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The EPA has alleged that two of the Company's facilities in Grafton, Wisconsin
violated wastewater pretreatment requirements under the Clean Water Act. No
action is pending. However, on August 8, 1995, the EPA proposed to settle
this matter if the Company pays a civil penalty of $495,000. The Company has
not yet responded to the EPA's offer. If this matter cannot be settled, the
EPA has indicated it intends to bring an action. Management believes the cost
to resolve this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
The Company held its annual meeting of shareholders on May 10, 1995. Matters
voted upon were (1) election of directors, and (2) ratification of Price
Waterhouse as the Company's independent auditors.
