See notes to consolidated financial statements. 5 ECHLIN INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1. General: - ----------------- The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended February 29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1995. NOTE 2. Business Combinations: - ------------------------------- During December, 1995 the company acquired the outstanding common stock of the American Electronic Components, Inc. (AEC), an Indiana-based designer, manufacturer and marketer of motor vehicle electronic components, by issuing 1,459,187 shares of common stock. In January, 1996 the company acquired the outstanding common stock of Plains Plastics, Inc., by issuing 229,450 shares of common stock. Plains Plastics is a custom plastic extruder located in Kansas. Both transactions were accounted for as poolings of interests and as a result the financial statements for the six months ended February 29, 1996 include AEC's and Plains Plastics' results of operations. Since the acquisitions did not have a material impact on the company, prior years' results were not restated. During December, 1995 the company purchased Handy & Harman's Automotive Segment, based in Michigan, for approximately $65 million. The purchased business manufactures fuel-delivery system components for motor vehicles. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. Note 3. Borrowing Arrangements: - -------------------------------- Commercial paper, domestic notes payable and a note with a German Bank at February 29, 1996, have been classified as long-term debt because of the company's intent to refinance this debt on a long-term basis and the availability of such financing under the terms of the company's revolving credit agreement. The weighted average interest rates on commercial paper and domestic notes payable at February 29, 1996, were 5.36 and 5.45 percent, respectively, while the German note payable accrued interest at 3.63 percent. 6 Note 3. Borrowing Arrangements (cont.'d) - ---------------------------------------- During February 1996, the company renewed its agreement with a financial institution to sell, without recourse, undivided fractional interests in designated pools of accounts receivable. This new agreement allows for the sale of up to $200,000,000 in receivables through March 1999. Accounts receivable at February 29, 1996 and August 31, 1995 are net of $180,000,000 and $125,000,000, respectively, representing receivables sold. 7 ECHLIN INC. MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Results of Operations: - ---------------------- For the three and six months ended February 29, 1996, net sales increased 13.0 percent and 15.5 percent, respectively, over the corresponding periods of a year ago. Recent acquisitions - primarily Preferred Technical Group, American Electronic Components, and the Automotive Segment of Handy and Harman - accounted for the majority of the growth. Net sales of comparable operations, those part of Echlin for at least twelve months, rose 2.9 and 3.0 percent for the three and six month periods, respectively. Domestically, comparable operations for the three and six months increased 1.6 and 1.4 percent, respectively. The positive impact of price changes and the introduction of new products were partially offset by reduced unit volume. The harsh winter weather experienced this year, the effect of which should be a positive factor in our third and fourth quarters, produced a short-term negative impact during the second quarter. Inclement weather forced unexpected store and repair facility closings, and prevented automotive repairs from being performed. Foreign comparable operations for the quarter and six month period rose 5.9 and 6.3 percent, respectively, reflecting unit volume gains, price increases and the introduction of new products. Sales were also increased by the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar in relation to the German mark, however they were lowered by the Mexican peso devaluation and a stronger U.S. dollar vs. the British pound. The gross profit to sales percentage for the six months declined from 29.0 a year ago to 26.1, while for the second quarter the percentage decreased to 25.3 from 28.7. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the gross profit-to-sales for the quarter declined 2.4 percentage points from last year, while for the six months the percentage was down 1.8 points. These changes reflect the impact of underabsorbed overhead costs as a result of fewer manufacturing and shipping days caused by the weather. Although selling and administrative expenses increased for the three and six month periods, they declined as a percentage of sales. For the second quarter, they declined to 19.2 percent from 20.9 percent a year ago, while for the six month period expenses declined to 19.0 percent vs. 21.0 percent last year. The dollar increase for both periods was primarily due to expense levels generated by current-year acquisitions. Net interest expense for the three month period increased $2,498,000, while for the six month period it increased $7,297,000, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher average debt levels resulting from recent acquisitions. 8 MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (cont.'d) - ----------------------------------------- Liquidity and Sources of Capital: - --------------------------------- During the first six months of fiscal 1996, operations used $288,000 of cash, $40,045,000 less than a year ago. The improvement primarily reflected the company's ongoing inventory reduction efforts offset in part by accounts receivable increases due to the higher sales. Net debt increased $132,233,000 from year-end primarily due to business acquisitions and current year capital expenditures. Total debt to total capital was 41 percent, up from 40 percent a year ago and 36 percent at August 31, 1995. During February, the company sold an additional $55 million of accounts receivable, without recourse, under its borrowing arrangement with a financial institution. The proceeds were used to repay existing short-term domestic obligations. During the first six months, foreign currency translation changes have reduced equity by $21,392,000. This primarily reflects a reduction in the U.S. dollar value of the net assets invested in Mexico, Germany and the United Kingdom. 9 ECHLIN INC. PART II: OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
