NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

As at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and option information)

 

NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Masonite International Inc. (the “Company” or “Masonite”) as at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007.

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2007.  In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results and financial condition of the Company for such periods and as of such dates.  These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of application as the annual audited consolidated financial statements except as described below in Recently Adopted Accounting Standards.   Operating results for the interim periods included herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

 

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52 or 53-week period ending on the Sunday closest to December 31.  In a 52 week year, each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks.  The three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 consist of 13 weeks.  For presentation purposes, the financial statements and notes refer to March 31 as the Company’s quarter-end.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, the accounts of any variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary and its proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses from joint ventures.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.  The results of subsidiaries acquired during the periods presented are consolidated from their respective dates of acquisition using the purchase method.  Joint ventures are proportionately consolidated from the date of formation.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the valuation of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the net realizable value of inventories, the determination of the fair value of derivative instruments, the determination of obligations under employee future benefit plans, the determination of share based awards, the valuation of acquired assets, the determination of the fair value of financial instruments, the fair value of goodwill and the useful lives of long-lived assets, as well as determination of impairment thereon, and the recoverability of future income tax assets.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:

 

(a)        Change in accounting policies

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the following new accounting standards issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA):

 

(i)                                Inventory

 

CICA Section 3031, “Inventories”, replaces Section 3030, “Inventories”, and harmonizes the Canadian standards related to inventories with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).  This section provides more extensive guidance on the determination of cost, narrows the permitted cost formulas, requires impairment testing and expands the disclosure requirements to increase transparency.  There was no impact on the financial results of the Company from the adoption of Section 3031.

 



 

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 As at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and option information)

 

(ii)          Capital disclosures

 

CICA Section 1535, “Capital Disclosures”, establishes guidelines for the disclosure of information on an entity’s capital and how it is managed.  This enhanced disclosure enables users to evaluate the entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital.  This new requirement is for disclosure purposes only and upon adoption did not impact the financial results of the Company.  See note 19, Capital Management, for further disclosure.

 

(iii)         Financial instruments – disclosure and presentation

 

CICA Section 3862, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure”, and Section 3863, “Financial Instruments – Presentation”, replace the existing Section 3861, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation.  Section 3862 requires enhanced disclosure on the nature and extent of financial instrument risks and how an entity manages those risks.  Section 3863 carries forward the existing presentation requirements and provides additional guidance for the classification of financial instruments.  This new requirement is for disclosure purposes only and upon adoption did not impact the financial results of the Company.  See note 18, financial instruments and risk management, for further disclosure.

 

(b)         Future accounting policies

 

International Financial Reporting Standards

 

In January 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) announced its decision to replace Canadian GAAP with IFRS for all Canadian Publicly Accountable Enterprises (PAE).  On February 13, 2008, the AcSB confirmed January 1, 2011 as the official changeover date for PAEs to commence reporting under IFRS.  Although IFRS is principles-based and uses a conceptual framework similar to Canadian GAAP, there are significant differences and choices in accounting policies, as well as increased disclosure requirements under IFRS.  The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS on its financial statements.

 

NOTE 2:  ACQUISITIONS

 

In the first quarter of 2008, the Company purchased the remaining 25% ownership interest of the Company’s operations located in the Czech Republic and Poland. The consideration was approximately $18,600 consisting of approximately $13,700 paid for the shares and the balance as repayment of advances made by the minority interest shareholder. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired of $5,430 was allocated to goodwill.  The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary.  The allocation of the purchase price reflects management’s best estimates at the date of preparing these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. In the first quarter of 2008, the Company was also notified by the owner of 25% of one of the Company’s VIE’s of its intention to require the other VIE party or the Company to purchase such owner’s 25% share in the VIE pursuant to the terms in the shareholder agreement. Preliminary estimates of the consideration required for the purchase of the 25% range between $14,500 and $21,000. It is anticipated that the transaction will close before the end of the third quarter of 2008.

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and option information)

 

NOTE 3: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

The Company had an agreement (the “Facilities Agreement”) to sell up to $135,000 of non-interest bearing trade accounts receivable.  The charges incurred under the Facilities Agreement are calculated based on the receivables sold and the prevailing LIBOR interest rate plus a spread of 1.25% at March 31, 2008 (December 31, 2007 – 1.25%).

 

On April 18, 2008, the Company was notified by the counterparty to the Facilities Agreement of termination of the program in 60 days. The amount outstanding on the Facilities Agreement as of that date was $66,400. The Company is evaluating other programs that are substantially similar to the Facilities Agreement as a replacement for this program.

 

The Company also had an additional agreement (the “Acquired Facilities Agreement”) which was terminated in March of 2007.

 

Information regarding balances sold and charges incurred, which are included in selling, general and administration expenses, on the Facilities Agreement, is included in the table below:

The Company has a $350,000 revolving credit facility as part of its banking arrangements.  Interest on the revolving credit facility is subject to a pricing grid ranging from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 2.50%, and is secured by fixed and floating charges over substantially all of Masonite’s assets.  As of March 31, 2008, the revolving credit facility interest rate was LIBOR plus 2.50% (December 31, 2007 – LIBOR plus 2.50%).

 

The revolving credit facility also provides for payment to the lenders of a commitment fee on the average daily undrawn commitments at a rate ranging from 0.375% to 0.5% per annum, a fronting fee of 0.125%, and a letter of credit fee ranging from 1.75% to 2.5% (less the 0.125% fronting fee).

 

Interest on the revolving credit facility for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 was $170 (three month period ended March 31, 2007 - $900).

 

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2008, the Company borrowed the remaining $236,000 available under its revolving credit facility. Although the Company has no immediate needs for the additional liquidity, in light of current financial market conditions, the Company drew on the facility to provide it with greater financial flexibility.

The Company’s senior secured credit facilities include an eight year $1,175,000 term loan that bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% and amortizes at 1% per year.  This facility requires the Company to meet a minimum interest coverage ratio starting at 1.5 times and increasing over time to 2.2 times adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined in the Secured Credit Agreement (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and a maximum leverage ratio, which is defined generally as total indebtedness including outstanding letters of credit less cash on hand, starting at 7.9 times, and decreasing over time to 4.75 times, Adjusted EBITDA.  The fair market value of the term loan obligation as represented by its March 31, 2008 trading value is estimated to be $971,284.  The prevailing 3-month LIBOR rate at March 31, 2008 was 2.69%.

 

At March 31, 2008, the Company was required to have met a minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.65 times Adjusted EBITDA, and a maximum leverage ratio of 7.0 times Adjusted EBITDA.  In addition, the senior secured credit facilities limit, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, prepayments of other indebtedness, liens and other encumbrances, additional payments based on excess cash flows, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements.  This facility also contains certain customary events of default, subject to grace periods, as appropriate.  The senior secured credit facilities are secured by a fixed and floating charge over the assets of the Company and the guarantor subsidiaries, as defined in the Secured Credit Agreement.  At March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with both of these ratios. Given current economic conditions there is a possibility that the Company may not remain in full compliance with its debt covenants through 2008. In the event of this occurrence, the Company intends to take such actions available to it in respect thereof as it determines to be appropriate at such time, but there can no assurance that any such actions will be successful.

The Company’s senior subordinated notes of $769,833 bear interest at 11% and are due October 6, 2015.  The indentures relating to these notes limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends on or make other distributions or repurchase our capital stock or make other restricted payments; make certain investments; sell certain assets; create liens on certain assets to secure debt; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.  Subject to certain exceptions, the indentures relating to our senior subordinated notes due 2015 permit us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness.  The fair market value of the senior subordinated notes as represented by their March 31, 2008 trading values is estimated to be $536,973.

 

The Company’s weighted average interest rate at March 31, 2008 was 8.1% (December 31, 2007 – 8.2%).

 

Interest on long-term debt for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 was $39,232 (three month period ended March 31, 2007 - $40,336).

 

On April 26, 2005, Masonite entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert $1,150,000 of floating rate debt into fixed rate debt.  These swaps amortize over a five year period and mature in 2010.  On April 26, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, $300,000 of notional principal amortizes.  At March 31, 2008, a total of $900,000 of floating rate debt remained converted into fixed rate debt, at an interest rate of 4.22% plus a credit spread of 2.00%.  At March 31, 2008, the fair value of these agreements represented a liability of $17,236, and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses (note 9).  The income tax benefit associated with the recognition of this loss is $5,822.  During the first quarter of 2008, $937 of expense related to the interest rate swaps was moved from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income as this interest was realized during the year. The floating reference rate is the 3-month LIBOR rate.  The interest rate swaps were valued utilizing the forward swap rates as derived from the swap curve as at period end and is sensitive to changes in forward rates. The effective interest rate method was utilized to discount the liability.  The swaps are considered to be debt for purposes of our Secured Credit Agreement.  The swaps settle on a quarterly basis.  The Company has established a hedging relationship with formal documentation between the interest rate swap and the long-term debt.

For lease agreements that provide for escalating rent payments or rent-free occupancy periods, the Company recognizes rent expense on a straight line basis over the non-cancellable lease term and any option renewal period where failure to exercise such option would result in an economic penalty in such amount that renewal appears, at the inception of the lease, to be reasonably assured.  The lease term commences on the date when all conditions precedent to the Company’s obligation to pay rent are satisfied.  The leases generally contain provisions for one to three renewal options of five years each.  Future minimum payments, in the twelve month periods ending March 31, under non-cancellable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more consisted of the following:

Masonite has provided standard indemnifications to its landlords under certain property lease agreements for claims by third parties in connection with its use of the premises.  The maximum amount of these indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated due to their nature.  Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments relating to such indemnifications.

 

In addition to the above indemnifications, Masonite has also provided routine indemnifications, whose terms range in duration and often are not explicitly defined.  These may include indemnifications against adverse effects to changes in tax laws and patent infringements by third parties.  The maximum amounts from these indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated.  In some cases, Masonite has recourse against other parties to mitigate its risk of loss from these indemnifications.  Historically, the Company has not made significant payments relating to these types of indemnifications.

 

Operations in the United States are subject to regulations enacted by the US Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) related to Maximum Achievable Control Technology (“MACT”). MACT regulations govern the manner in which the company measures and controls the emissions from manufacturing facilities into the air. As a result of a June 2007 decision by the US Court of Appeals, the EPA has eliminated certain compliance options which were based on low health risk determinations in relation to compliance with MACT regulations for wood products. The Company anticipates the cost of

(b)  Impairment of property, plant and equipment:

 

As a result of the consolidation of certain facilities, the Company tested the related property, plant and equipment for impairment.  After determining that the undiscounted cash flows were lower than the carrying value for these fixed assets, the Company used a discounted cash flow approach to determine the impairment charge required to reduce the carrying value of these fixed assets to their net realizable value.

 

(c)  Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment:

 

For the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company disposed of idle property, plant and equipment, as well as other machinery and equipment for cash consideration of $57 (three month period ended March 31, 2007 - $85). The disposal of these assets resulted in a net loss of $51 (three month period ended March 31, 2007 - $722), which is included in Other expense, net.

The Company currently has future tax assets in certain jurisdictions resulting from net operating losses and other deductible temporary differences, which will reduce taxable income in these jurisdictions in future periods. The Company has determined that a valuation allowance of $61,669 is required in respect of its future income tax assets as at March 31, 2008 (December 31, 2007 - $50,994). The Company has provided valuation allowances for future tax benefits resulting from net operating loss carry forwards and other carry forward attributes arising in Canada, the U.S., and certain countries in South America, Eastern Europe and Asia. The Company expects to record valuation allowances on future tax assets arising in these jurisdictions until a sustained level of taxable income is reached.

NOTE 16: SEGMENTED INFORMATION

 

The senior management team has established the practice of reviewing performance measurement of each geographic segment based on the measures of sales and operating EBITDA. Operating EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus depreciation, amortization, interest, income taxes, other expense and non-controlling interest. Senior management feels that operating EBITDA, from an operations standpoint, provides a better way to measure and assess performance as it is more comprehensive and inclusive. Operating EBITDA generally provides a lower absolute measure of performance as compared to Adjusted EBITDA.  Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure defined by Masonite’s Senior Secured Credit Agreement and allows for certain expenses incurred to be added back for the purpose of the measure.

 

Intersegment transfers are negotiated as if the transactions were to third parties, at market prices. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Certain information with respect to geographic segments is as follows:

NOTE 17: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company has an agreement to pay Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”) annual management fees of $2,000 for services provided, which are payable quarterly in advance and may be increased up to 5% each year.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company paid KKR fees of $579 (three month period ended March 31, 2007 - $634) in accordance with the management fee agreement.

 

In addition, the Company has engaged KKR Capstone (“Capstone”) on a per-diem basis for management consulting services.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company paid Capstone fees of $389 (three month period ended March 31, 2007 - $566) for management consulting services.  Although neither KKR nor any entity affiliated with KKR owns any of the equity of Capstone, prior to January 1, 2007, KKR had provided financing to Capstone.

 

These costs are reflected as part of selling, general and administration expense on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Due to the use of judgment and uncertainties in the determination of estimated fair values, these values should not be interpreted as being realizable in the immediate term.

 

The fair values of financial instruments are calculated on the basis of information available on the balance sheet date using the following methods:

 

(i) The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable approximates their carrying amounts due to the short- term nature of the instruments.

 

(ii) The fair value of the interest rate swaps is measured based on the difference between the contracted or fixed rate of 4.22% and the forward swap rates obtained from the counterparty at the balance sheet date.  The value of the swap is implicitly discounted utilizing the forward swap rates.  The forward swap rates utilize 3-month US LIBOR and range from 3.24% to 2.10% between the balance sheet date and January 26, 2010 (date of final rate adjustment prior to full amortization of the notional amount).  The carrying value of the swaps are recorded within the Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the face of the balance sheet.

 

(iii) The fair value of accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

 

(iv) The present value of the Company’s long-term debt is determined by reference to the trading value established by the market.

 

(b) Risk Management

 

The Company is exposed to a number of risks as a result of holding financial instruments.  These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk.

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to meet its contractual obligations.  The Company does not believe it is subject to significant concentration of credit risk on its

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and option information)

 

accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents balances.  The carrying amount of accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalent balances represents the maximum credit exposure.

 

(i) Cash and cash equivalents include cash held through major U.S. and International financial institutions and short-term investments.  As at March 31, 2008, the Company had a total principal amount invested of $55,952 in U.S. dollar short term investments with a maturity of 90 days or less and a credit rating of “AAA”.   The Company’s Credit Agreement defines these types of investments as acceptable.   The Company does not expect the counterparties to fail to meet their obligations.

 

(ii) Accounts receivable

 

Credit risk arises from the potential default of a customer in meeting its financial obligations to the Company.  The Company had credit evaluation, approval and monitoring processes, including credit insurance, intended to mitigate potential credit risk.  The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable and records an allowance for doubtful accounts, which reduces the receivables to the amount management believes will be collected.  The allowance for doubtful accounts as at March 31, 2008 was $4,487 (December 31, 2007 - $5,010).  The total percentage of past due accounts at March 31, 2008 was 6.2%.  As at March 31, 2008, 97% of the past due balances were in the 0-30 day aging category.

 

(iii) There is no immediate credit risk related to the interest rate swaps liability of $17,236 recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses (note 9).  However, in the future, should the swaps become an asset to the Company, there is a risk that the counterparty to the swaps will not be able to fulfill its side of the agreement.  The Company monitors the creditworthiness of the counterparty on a quarterly basis to determine whether or not they will be able to fulfill its obligation.  At March 31, 2008, the Company reviewed the creditworthiness of the counterparty, and determined that there was no credit risk on the counterparty fulfilling its obligation under the interest rate swap agreement.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

 

Inherent in a highly leveraged company is the requirement to pay substantial interest costs on an on-going basis.  The Company manages liquidity risk through regular cash-flow forecasting in conjunction with an adequate committed operating bank loan facility.

 

As at March 31, 2008, the Company has accounts payable and accrued expenses of $355,796 and current debt obligations of $21,204, all of which fall due for payment within one year of the balance sheet date.  Refer to Note 7 Bank Indebtedness and Note 8 Long-Term Debt for further detail.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that earnings will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

 

i) Long-term debt

 

The variable nature (interest rate) of approximately 60% of the Company’s long-term debt exposes the Company to significant uncertainty regarding interest costs.  However, the Company utilizes certain financial instruments, principally interest rate swap contracts to manage the risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates.  As at the balance sheet date, $900,000 of notional debt was covered by a fixed for floating interest rate swap agreement.  The non-hedged portion of variable rate long-term debt of $242,688 (March 31, 2007 – $101,500) exposes the Company to interest rate risk.  Specifically, had 3-month U.S. LIBOR differed by 50 basis points during the first quarter of 2008, interest expense for the 3 months ended

 



 

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

As at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and option information)

 

March 31, 2008 would have differed by $303.  The remaining 40% of The Company’s long-term debt bears interest at a fixed rate.

 

ii) Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations on its cash and cash equivalents balance, which at March 31, 2008 totalled $110,594 (December 31, 2007 – $41,754).  A change of 50 basis points in the market interest rate would have had an approximate impact on interest income of $138 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

 

Foreign currency exchange risk

 

Foreign currency exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of recognized assets and liabilities or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

The Company utilizes certain financial instruments, principally forward currency exchange contracts to manage the risk associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates.  Forward currency exchange contracts are used to reduce the impact of fluctuating exchange rates on the Company’s purchases of materials and sale of goods in foreign currencies.

 

The Company has exposure to movements in foreign currency rates when transactions are undertaken by foreign subsidiaries in currencies other than their functional currency.  These transactions could be sales, purchases of materials or services or financing transactions.  Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these transactions are recorded in the statement of operations.  As at March 31, 2008, there were no forward currency exchange contracts outstanding.

 

NOTE 19: CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to provide for (a) an appropriate rate of return to shareholders in relation to the risks underlying the Company’s assets, and (b) a prudent capital structure for raising capital at a reasonable cost for the funding of ongoing operations, capital expenditures and new growth initiatives.  The Company defines its capital as the aggregate of net debt and shareholder’s equity.  Net debt consists of interest-bearing debt less cash and cash equivalents and excludes any unamortized deferred financing costs.

 

The Company manages capital principally by monitoring the leverage ratio contained in the Company’s senior secured credit facilities.  This ratio is described in note 8, Long-Term Debt.  The Company regularly monitors current and forecasted debt levels to ensure debt covenants are not violated.  Generally, the most significant financing restrictions relate to the maintenance of certain financial ratios.  These financial ratios are primarily linked to Adjusted EBITDA.  The Company must maintain a ratio below 7.00x of net debt over Adjusted EBITDA from January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008, 6.80x for July 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008, and 6.50x for October 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008.  The Company must also maintain a ratio above 1.65x of Adjusted EBITDA to interest expense as defined in the Secured Credit Agreement for January 1, 2008 to September 31, 2008 and above 1.75x for October 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008.  Failure to meet the terms of one or more of the covenants contained in the Company’s debt facilities may constitute a default, potentially resulting in accelerating the repayment of the debt obligation.  As at March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with the required ratios.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is a review of Masonite International Inc.’s  financial condition and results of operations, is based upon Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and covers the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007. In this MD&A,  the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Masonite International Inc. and our subsidiaries. All amounts are in millions of United States dollars unless specified otherwise.

 

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the 2007 annual audited consolidated financial statements and the 2008 unaudited interim financials statements. The following discussion also contains forward-looking statements that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties.

 

Recent Developments

 

In the first quarter of 2007, we were notified by our largest customer that they would be moving substantially all of their business with us in certain geographic regions to a competitor later in 2007.  Sales to this customer in the regions affected were approximately $250 - $300 million on an annualized basis.  Subsequent to this notification, we completed the permanent closure of five facilities dedicated to this customer and an interior door manufacturing facility.  We further completed the consolidation of our manufacturing operations in Florida, announced the closure of our Bridgwater site in the UK and in the first quarter of 2008 began the process of closing three additional sites in North America and consolidating the production from those sites into other facilities.  In March of 2008 we completed the acquisition of the remaining 25% of our facilities in the Czech Republic and Poland pursuant to an option exercised by the minority interest shareholder.  The consideration was approximately $18.6 million consisting of approximately $13.7 million paid for the shares and the balance as repayment of advances made by the minority interest shareholder.  Subsequent to the end of the first quarter we borrowed the remaining amount available on our revolving credit facility which resulted in a total amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility of $350.0 million.  We were also notified in 2008 by the owner of 25% of one of our VIE’s of its intention to require the other VIE party or us to purchase such owner’s 25% share in the VIE pursuant to the terms contained in the shareholder agreement. Preliminary estimates of the consideration required for the purchase of the 25% range between $14.5 million and $21.0 million. It is anticipated that the transaction will close before the end of the third quarter of 2008.

 

Results of Operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2007.

 

A summary of the first quarter results is as follows:

Sales in the 2008 period were negatively impacted by lower North American sales due to continued soft demand from customers servicing both the wholesale and retail channels. Sales in the first quarter of 2007 benefited by $21.0 million due to stronger foreign currency rates as compared to the prior year period.  Approximately $66.4 million of the decline in sales is attributable to sales in geographic regions that The Home Depot moved to a competitor in the second half of 2007.

Sales to external customers from facilities in North America declined 28.4% to $294.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the prior year period.  Sales in North America were negatively impacted by continued soft demand from customers servicing both the wholesale and retail channels, the business lost from The Home Depot and a more severe winter season than in 2007 which slowed activity in affected areas and caused facility closures. Sales in the North American segment contributed 64% of consolidated sales as compared to 72% in the prior year.  The stronger Canadian dollar in 2008 increased sales in the first quarter of 2008 by approximately $6.6 million.  Excluding the impact of currency and the lost business, sales declined 13.9% compared to the prior year period.

 

Sales to external customers from facilities outside of North America grew 7.6% to $169.6 million in 2008 as compared to the prior year period.  European sales were positively impacted by the appreciation of European currencies versus the U.S. dollar in the amount of $14.2 million.  Excluding the impact of exchange, sales in our Europe and Other segment declined by 1.3% from the prior year on an overall basis.  Our sales in Western Europe, notably the United Kingdom, declined as a result of weakening housing market conditions, while sales in the Czech Republic, Poland and South Africa increased due to strong economic fundamentals.

 

Intersegment sales, primarily the movement of door components from the Europe and Other segment into the North America segment, declined by 12.3% to $11.4 million due to continued soft market conditions in North America during the first quarter of  2008.

The proportion of revenues from interior and exterior products was approximately 74% and 26%, respectively, for the three month period ended March 31, 2008.  For the 2007 period, the proportion was 70% and 30%, respectively. Our sales of interior doors in 2008 grew as a percent of sales due to the relative strength of our market position in the interior door market, in

 



 

particular as our European businesses, which predominately consists of interior doors, becomes a larger relative proportion of our overall business. In addition, we believe that weakening housing market conditions in North America affect exterior product sales earlier than the sales of interior product sales.

Despite our ongoing efforts on global supply chain initiatives, facility rationalizations, rigorous cost management and product pricing adjustments we were not able to fully offset the impact of the lower volumes in the first quarter coupled with inflationary cost pressures on raw materials.  We made additional headcount reductions during the first quarter, and continue to execute on our announced facility closures to rightsize our business for the current market conditions.

Depreciation expense decreased to $22.1 million in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to $22.7 million in the first quarter of 2007.  This reduced level of depreciation is a result of lower capital expenditures over the past two years, the 15 facility closures completed since 2005 and asset impairments recorded in the last two years.  These actions have reduced the overall basis of depreciable assets.

Our effective income tax rate is primarily the weighted average of federal, state and provincial rates in various countries in which we have operations, including the United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom and Ireland.

 

Our income tax rate is also affected by estimates of realizability of tax assets, changes in tax laws and the timing of the expected reversal of temporary differences. We have established a valuation allowance on a portion of tax losses and other carryforward attributes in Canada, the United States and other jurisdictions until the realization of these tax assets becomes more likely than not during the carryforward period.

The performance measurement of each of our geographic segments is based on Operating EBITDA which is defined as net income (loss) plus non-controlling interest, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other expense.  Segment Operating EBITDA in North America was lower in 2008 as a result of the significantly lower volume and inflationary cost pressures offset by headcount reduction actions and facility rationalization activities.  Segment Operating EBITDA in our Europe and Other segment was negatively impacted by foreign currency as sales prices in some of our foreign markets are denominated in U.S. dollars while input costs are in other foreign currencies.  Our businesses in Western Europe also began to experience a slowdown in demand in their markets which affected our Operating EBITDA in the period.

The aggregate amount of long-term debt repayments required during the next five years ending March 31, 2012, is approximately $70.6 million, relatively unchanged from $77.7 million at December 31, 2007. Future principal debt payments are expected to be paid out of cash flows from operations, borrowings on our revolving credit facility and future refinancing of our debt.

 

To mitigate interest risk, in April 2005, we entered into a five year interest rate swap agreement converting a notional $1.15 billion of floating-rate debt into fixed rate debt that currently bears interest at 4.22% plus an applicable credit spread of 2.00%. On April 26, 2006, and April 26, 2007,  $100 million  and $150 million respectively, of the interest rate swaps amortized, leaving $900 million at a fixed rate as of December 31, 2007. After giving effect to the interest rate swaps at March 31, 2008 approximately 82% of outstanding interest-bearing debt carries a fixed interest rate and the remainder carries a floating rate. The three month LIBOR rate at March 31, 2008 was 2.69%.

 

Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal, or to pay interest or additional amounts if any, or to refinance indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures or payments required pursuant to our shareholder agreements relating to our less than wholly owned subsidiaries, will depend on future performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

 

In March and April 2008, we borrowed the remaining $336 million available from our $350 million senior secured revolving credit facility. Although we have no immediate needs for the additional liquidity, in light of current financial market conditions, we drew on the facility to provide ourselves with greater financial flexibility.

 

Given current economic conditions there is a possibility that we may not remain in full compliance with certain covenants contained in our senior secured credit facilities through 2008. In the event of this occurrence, we intend to take such actions available to us in respect thereof as we determine to be appropriate at such time, but there can be no assurance that any such actions will be successful.

 

We expect our current cash balance plus cash flows from operations to be sufficient to fund near-term working capital and other investment needs through 2008. There can be no assurance, however, that we will generate cash flow from operations in an amount sufficient to enable us to meet our liquidity needs. In addition, to the extent that we fail to remain in full compliance with certain covenants contained in our senior secured credit facilities, we would be in default under these facilities. If any such default occurs, the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities may elect to declare all outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable. To the extent that the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities agree to an amendment of these covenants, such amendment may result in interest being payable on these facilities at higher interest rates.

 

Senior Secured Credit Facility

 

On April 6, 2005, we entered into senior secured credit facilities which included an eight year $1.175 billion term loan due April 6, 2013 with an original interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% that amortizes at 1% per year. The proceeds from the senior secured credit facilities were used to fund the Transaction.

 

We also entered into a $350 million revolving credit facility which is available for general corporate purposes. The revolving credit facility interest rate is subject to a pricing grid ranging from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 2.50%. As of March 31, 2007, the revolving credit facility carried an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%. In addition to the senior secured credit facilities noted above, we have funded operations through cash generated from operations.

 

Our senior secured credit facilities require us to meet a minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.65 times Adjusted EBITDA and a maximum leverage ratio of 7.0 times Adjusted EBITDA as of March 31, 2008, as defined in the credit agreements (see discussion on non-GAAP measures below).

 



 

Our leverage ratio as defined in the senior secured credit facility as of March 31, 2008 was 6.71x at March 31, 2008 as compared to 6.00x at December 31, 2007.

 

Our interest coverage ratio as defined in the senior secured credit facility as of March 31, 2008 was 1.76x as compared to 1.91x at December 31, 2007.

 

Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015

 

The Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 bear interest at 11%. The indentures relating to these notes limit our ability to:

 

·      incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;

 

·      pay dividends on or make other distributions or repurchase our capital stock or make other restricted payments;

 

·      make certain investments;

 

·      sell certain assets;

 

·      create liens on certain assets to secure debt; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets;

 

·      enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and

 

·      designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, the indentures relating to our senior subordinated notes due 2015 permit us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness.

 

Non-GAAP measures

 

Under the indentures governing our senior subordinated notes, our ability to engage in certain activities such as incurring certain additional indebtedness, making certain investments and paying certain dividends is tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other expense (income), net, (gain) loss on refinancing, net and non-controlling interest further adjusted to give effect to adjustments required in calculating covenant ratios and compliance under the indentures governing the notes and our senior secured credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, is not a measure of financial condition or profitability, and should not be considered as an alternative to (1) net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP or (2) operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not include certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. We believe that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA herein is appropriate to provide additional information about the calculation of certain financial covenants in the indentures governing the notes and our senior secured credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is a material component of these covenants. For instance, both the indentures governing the notes and the senior secured credit facilities contain financial ratios that are calculated by reference to Adjusted EBITDA. Non-compliance with the financial ratio maintenance covenants contained in our senior secured credit facilities could result in the requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under such facilities, while non-compliance with the debt incurrence ratio contained in the indentures governing the notes would prohibit us from being able to incur additional indebtedness other than pursuant to specified exceptions. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe that the disclosure of the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA provides information that is useful to an investor’s understanding of our liquidity and financial flexibility.

 



 

The following is a reconciliation of net loss, which is a GAAP measure of our operating results, to Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our indentures and credit agreement (which we refer to as our “debt agreements”), and the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio, net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio under our debt agreements. The terms and related calculations are defined in our debt agreements, copies of which are publicly available.

Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital was a use of $1.1 million compared to a source of $28.6 million in the prior year. The lower sales and earnings levels translated into reduced cash flow in the period. Working capital was a source of $10.3 million in the current year compared to a source of $6.6 million in the prior year. Accounts receivable consumed $7.7 million in the current year compared to $28.9 million in the prior year as the seasonal increase in sales toward the end of the quarter was not as pronounced as it was in the prior year, and that the Easter holiday fell in March this year whereas it fell in April in the prior year. Inventory was a source of cash in the quarter, although not as significant as in the prior year as our inventory reduction efforts continue. Payables were a source of cash of $11.6 million in 2008 as compared to a source of $22.2 million in the prior year. The lower volumes has affected the overall pace of purchases and we continue to pay down our restructuring reserves that were accumulated in prior years as a result of facility closures and headcount reductions.

Cash flow from financing activities was a source of $89.7 million as borrowings on our revolving credit facility increased in anticipation of the semi-annual and quarterly interest payments due subsequent to the quarter end in April. In the prior year, we repaid $26.7 million of debt through cash flow from operations.

Cash used in investing activities was $27.3 million compared to $11.9 million in the prior year. In the current year, fixed asset additions of $7.3 million were $1.6 million lower than the prior year as we re-deploy assets from closed facilities and contain capital expenditure to the highest return projects. In 2008, we paid $13.7 million for the acquisition of the remaining 25% of the equity of our facilities in Czech Republic and Poland. As part of this transaction, we also made a distribution to the non-controlling interest holder in the amount of $4.8 million. We also made other distributions to other minority interest shareholders in the amount of approximately $1.2 million. Use of cash for other investing activities of $0.4 million in 2008 consists principally of net redemptions of management stockholders. This compares to approximately $3.0 million used in the prior year for the redemption of management stockholders.

 

We believe that our current cash balance plus cash flows from operations and the availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund near-term working capital and other investment needs.

 



 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Our off-balance sheet arrangements include a “Facilities Agreement” to sell up to $135 million of non-interest bearing trade accounts receivable, and an “Acquired Facilities Agreement” whereby we can sell receivables of a specific customer. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Facilities Agreement was terminated by the counterparty.

 

We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements other than those described above, which are more fully discussed in note 3 of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

We have entered into an agreement to pay Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”) annual management fees of $2 million for services provided, payable quarterly in advance, with the amount increasing by up to 5% per year. For the three month period ended March 31, 2008 we paid KKR $0.6 million (March 31, 2007 - $0.6 million) for services rendered.

 

In addition, we paid fees of $0.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 (March 31, 2007 - $0.6 million) to KKR Capstone (“Capstone”) for services provided on a per-diem basis for management consulting services. Although neither KKR nor any entity affiliated with KKR owns any of the equity of Capstone, prior to January 1, 2007, KKR had provided financing to Capstone.
