Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 2 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of OYO Geospace Corporation should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes related thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Industry Overview We design and manufacture instruments and equipment used in the acquisition and processing of seismic data and the commercial graphics industry. We have been in the seismic instrument and equipment business since 1980, marketing our products primarily to the oil and gas industry worldwide. Geoscientists use seismic data to map potential or existing oil and gas bearing formations and the geologic structures that surround them. Seismic data is used primarily in connection with the exploration, development and production of oil and gas. Seismic data acquisition is conducted on land in several stages. First, an energy source imparts seismic waves into the earth, reflections of which are received and measured by geophones and hydrophones. Electrical signals generated by the geophones and hydrophones are then transmitted through leader wire, geophone and hydrophone string connectors and telemetric cable to data collection units, which store information for processing and analysis. Seismic thermal imaging products are output devices used in the field or office to create a graphic representation of the seismic data after it has been acquired. Marine seismic data acquisition is conducted primarily by large ocean-going vessels that tow long seismic cables known as "streamers". Usually, the energy source in marine seismic data acquisition is an airgun, and the reflected seismic waves are received and measured by hydrophones, which are attached to the streamers. The streamers then transmit the electrical impulses back to the vessel via telemetric cable included within the streamers, and the seismic data is then processed in much the same manner as it is on land. The seismic data acquisition industry suffered a substantial downturn in fiscal 1999, which adversely impacted our operations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Demand for Our Products is Volatile; Industry Conditions Currently are Uncertain; Pricing Pressures May Continue". Results of Operations The following table sets forth for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the percentage of certain statement of operations items to total sales:
Three Months Ended June 30, Nine Months Ended June 30, ----------------------------- ---------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 -------- ------- ------- ------- Sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales 83.9% 60.4% 73.3% 58.9% Gross profit 16.1% 39.6% 26.7% 41.1% Selling, general and administrative 21.1% 23.5% 18.5% 23.8% Research and development 12.6% 14.7% 11.2% 14.1% Income (loss) from operations (17.6)% 1.4% (3.0)% 3.2% Other income (expense), net (1.1)% (1.0)% (0.2)% (0.6)% Income (loss) before provision for income taxes (18.7)% 0.4% (3.2)% 2.6% Income tax expense (benefit) (6.2)% (1.7)% (1.2)% 0.3% Net income (loss) (12.5)% 2.1% (2.0)% 2.3%
9 Fiscal Year 2000 Compared to Fiscal Year 1999. Sales for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2000 increased $3.4 million, or 35.2%, and $7.9 million, or 24.2%, respectively, from the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Our sales increased primarily because of an increase in demand for our land-based seismic products for the Canadian and Middle Eastern marketplaces. This sales increase was partially offset by a decline in sales of our marine-based seismic products as a result of the oversupply of deepwater seismic vessels. Cost of sales for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2000 increased $5.1 million, or 87.9%, and $10.5 million, or 54.5%, respectively, from the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Cost of sales increased as a percentage of total sales to 83.9% and 73.3% in the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, from 60.4% and 58.9% in the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Several factors have contributed to the decline in our gross profit margin since the prior year periods. First, the sales of our land-based seismic products continue to experience competitive pricing pressures despite a recent increase in demand. As a result of these pricing pressures, in recent months we made a highly competitive bid on a large equipment order. As expected, the revenues from the resulting order absorbed fixed overhead costs which otherwise would have been unabsorbed, however, our direct labor costs exceeded those anticipated for filling the order. We expect competitive pressures to continue throughout the remainder of this fiscal year. Second, the sales mix contains fewer sales of marine-based products due to an over supply of deepwater seismic vessels. Sales of our marine products have historically had the highest gross profit margins. Finally, a number of other factors contributed to the decline in our gross profit margin including currency fluctuations resulting in increased cost of foreign-purchased materials, increased warranty expenses associated with our thermal imaging products and increased inventory obsolescence costs associated with the introduction of a new reservoir characterization acquisition system. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased $0.5 million, or 21.7%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year and for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 decreased $0.3 million, or 3.5%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. These increases and decreases are primarily the result of periodic fluctuations in our bad debt expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of total sales to 21.1% and 18.5% in the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, from 23.5% and 23.8% in the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, primarily reflecting higher sales volume. Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased $0.2 million, or 16.1%, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 decreased $0.1 million, or 1.3%, from the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Research and development expenses decreased as a percentage of total sales to 12.6% and 11.2% in the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, from 14.7% and 14.1% in the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, reflecting higher sales volume. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was a benefit of 33.1% compared to a benefit of 480.0% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 was a benefit of 37.3% compared to a tax provision of 14.0% for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The tax rates for the prior year periods ended June 30, 1999 include the impact of $0.2 million nonrecurring tax benefit relating to the utilization of tax credits and other attributes from prior years. Excluding the tax benefit, the effective tax rates for each of the periods ended June 30, 1999 would have been 35.0%. Liquidity and Capital Resources At June 30, 2000, we had $3.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. For the nine months ended June 30, 2000, we generated $3.1 million of cash from operating activities, principally resulting from our net loss adjusted for noncash expenses and changes in working capital. For the nine months ended June 30, 2000, we used approximately $4.3 million of cash in investing activities, principally consisting of capital expenditures. We estimate that total capital expenditures in fiscal 2000 will be approximately $6.0 million. 10 For the nine months ended June 30, 2000, we used $0.1 million of cash in financing activities resulting from principal payments on long-term mortgage notes payable. We have a working capital line of credit, under which we are able to borrow funds secured by our accounts receivable and inventory. The credit facility expires in October 2001. Our credit facility prohibits us from paying cash dividends on our common stock, limits our capital expenditures, limits our additional indebtedness to $7.5 million, requires us to maintain certain financial ratios and contains other customary covenants. There were no borrowings under our line of credit at June 30, 2000. The operating loss we experienced in the third quarter resulted in a reduction in our borrowing availability. Our borrowing availability under the credit facility at June 30, 2000 is limited to $1.5 million. We are currently in discussions with our lender to increase our borrowing availability under the credit facility. We believe that the combination of existing cash reserves, cash flows from operations and borrowing availability under our credit facility should provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to fund our planned operations through fiscal 2000. We also believe we will be successful in either increasing our borrowing availability with our current lender or securing adequate financing elsewhere to fund our future operating needs. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional borrowings or that such sources of capital will be sufficient to support our capital requirements in the long-term, and we may be required to issue additional debt or equity securities in the future to meet our capital requirements. Forward Looking Statements This Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking" statements which are subject to the "safe harbor" provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact included herein, including statements about potential future products and markets, our future financial position, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations, are forward- looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct, and actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1999 under the headings "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors". Further, all written and verbal forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by such factors. Demand for Our Products is Volatile; Industry Conditions Currently are Uncertain; Pricing Pressures May Continue In fiscal 1999 rapid declines in oil prices forced most major oil companies to significantly reduce their exploration budgets, which in turn, caused most seismic contractors (our primary customers) to significantly reduce the number of operational crews performing seismic related activities. This crew reduction resulted in large amounts of under utilized or idle seismic equipment in the marketplace. Although oil and gas prices have recovered substantially from their lows of last year, the industry has continued to be cautious in its capital spending on exploration activities. Moreover, the surplus of equipment in the industry and the time required to reassemble qualified crews has slowed recovery of the land-based seismic markets, resulting in a discount-driven pricing environment. Excess capacity with our marine customers is also adversely affecting our business. The oversupply of deepwater marine seismic vessels, coupled with the pending merger of Western Geophysical and Geco Prakla, has resulted in reduced or delayed capital spending in the marine sector. Until the number of operational seismic crews increases significantly and until idle seismic equipment is again utilized, we believe our seismic equipment sales may remain at depressed levels. Further, if oil and gas prices return to lower levels, our sales may further decline. 11 The recent industry environment has resulted in, and may continue to result in, competitive pricing pressures on our land-based seismic products. In addition, certain of our competitors are based outside the United States. As the strength of the U.S. dollar increases against certain foreign currencies, our ability to bid competitively against certain foreign competitors is adversely affected. We intend to respond competitively to these market forces in order to maintain, or improve, our market share. These pricing pressures may continue to adversely impact our profitability. In addition, the recent industry environment has resulted in, and may continue to result in, a greater percentage of our sales being attributable to certain consumable land-based seismic products that historically have provided lower gross profit margins. Further, if overall sales decrease, our manufacturing costs per unit increase as fixed costs are allocated over fewer units. The combination of these factors may result in lower gross profit margins in future periods. We Are Subject to Currency Fluctuations for Purchased Materials A Japanese manufacturer unaffiliated with us is currently the only supplier of wide format printheads that we use in our wide format thermal plotters. We pay for the printheads in Japanese yen. Accordingly, we are at risk that, due to currency fluctuations, the cost of the printheads to us could increase. Our practice is not to hedge these foreign currency exposures unless we are bound by a firm purchase commitment. Our Customer Financing Results in Credit Risks to Us We have found it necessary from time to time to extend long term trade credit to our customers through accounts and notes receivable. As a result, we are subject to the credit risks of nonpayment or late payment. Given current industry conditions, some of our customers may experience liquidity difficulties, which increases those credit risks. We cannot assure you that sufficient aggregate amounts of uncollectible receivables and bad debt charges will not have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations. At June 30, 2000, our bad debt allowance was $0.7 million. We systematically adjust this allowance each month to reflect the estimated credit risk associated with our trade accounts and notes receivable. We base this adjustment on the level of past due accounts and notes receivable, customer creditworthiness, past payment history, access to underlying collateral and other factors. Although we believe this allowance is a fair representation of the credit risk with respect to our outstanding receivables, we can not assure you that this allowance will be adequate to cover every potential bad debt exposure. 12 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this amendment to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
