See accompanying note to consolidated financial statements (unaudited). 5 GRAND UNION CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of Grand Union Capital Corporation ("Capital" or the "Company") have not been audited by independent accountants. However, in the opinion of management the results of operations include all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of operating results for the interim periods. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 1994. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. 6 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain statement of operations data:
16 Weeks Ended ----------------------------- July 24, July 23, 1993 1994 ------------ ----------- (dollars in millions) Sales $761.1 $747.7 Gross profit 215.1 224.4 Operating and administrative expense 165.0 164.6 Depreciation and amortization 23.3 25.3 Interest expense 55.3 59.6 Cumulative effect of accounting change 30.3 - Net loss 58.8 25.0 EBITDA 51.0 60.1 LIFO provision .9 .3 Sales percentage decrease 4.5% 1.8% Gross profit as a percentage of sales 28.3 30.0 Operating and administrative expense as a percentage of sales's 21.7 22.0 EBITDA as a percentage of sales 6.7 8.0
Sales for the 16 weeks ended July 23, 1994 decreased $13.4 million or 1.8% as compared to the 16 weeks ended July 24, 1993. The sales decrease for the 16 weeks ended July 23, 1994 resulted from the continuing effect of workforce reductions by several major employers in the Company s Northern Region, competitive store openings in the Mid-Hudson Valley and Albany metropolitan area of New York State, the Company's increased emphasis on value-oriented products in the Northern Region and the timing of Easter (the first quarter of the current year did not include the holiday shopping period preceding Easter; the previous year's first quarter included the pre-holiday week). These factors were partially offset by the effect of the work stoppage last year and sales increases from the Company's capital expenditure program. Existing store sales, influenced by the same factors mentioned above, decreased 5.6% for the 16 weeks ended July 23, 1994 The increase in gross profit, as a percentage of sales, for the 16 weeks ended July 23, 1994 resulted from increased sales of higher margin general merchandise and private label products, reduced product procurement costs and a reduction of the LIFO provision. The increase in operating and administrative expense, as a percentage of sales, for the 16 weeks ended July 23, 1994 resulted primarily from an increase, as a percentage of sales, in store labor and fringe benefits, utilities expense and occupancy costs. Depreciation and amortization was $25.3 and $23.3 million for the 16 weeks ended July 23, 1994 and July 24, 1993, respectively. The $2.0 million increase is attributable to the Company's capital expenditure program. Interest expense was $59.6 and $55.3 million for the 16 weeks ended July 23, 1994 and July 24, 1993, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the increased level of debt outstanding. During the 16 weeks ended July 24, 1993, the Company recorded a $30.3 million charge as the cumulative effect of an accounting change relating to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions". This charge represents the portion of future retiree benefit costs related to service already rendered by both active and retired employees up to the date of adoption. 7 EBITDA (earnings before LIFO provision, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change) was $60.1 million or 8.0% of sales for the 16 weeks ended July 23, 1994, compared to $51.0 million or 6.7% of sales for the 16 weeks ended July 24, 1993. The Company estimates that the 22 day work stoppage during the 16 weeks ended July 24, 1993 had the effect of reducing EBITDA by approximately $8.0 million as a result of lost sales, product losses and other costs associated with the work stoppage. On July 26, 1994, the Company announced a corporate reorganization and overhead reduction program to consolidate several key functions and reduce overhead expense by approximately $5 million annually. The Company estimates that the cost of this program, principally consisting of severance costs, will be approximately $1 million, of which $.4 million was recorded in the 16 weeks ended July 23, 1994. Cost savings from this program will be reinvested in store operations beginning in the second quarter. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Resources used to finance significant expenditures for the 16 weeks ended July 24, 1993 and July 23, 1994 are reflected in the following table:
16 Weeks Ended ----------------------------- July 24, July 23, 1993 1994 ------------ ----------- (in millions) Resources used: Capital expenditures $11.2 $24.9 Debt repayment 2.4 2.4 Purchase of redeemable Class A common stock 0.1 -- ----- ----- $13.7 $27.3 ----- ----- ----- ----- Financed by: Operating activities, including cash and temporary cash investments $(7.3) $17.7 Debt incurred 21.0 8.0 Property disposals - 1.6 ----- ----- $13.7 $27.3 ----- ----- ----- -----
During the 16 weeks ended July 23, 1994, funds for capital expenditures and debt repayment were principally obtained from cash provided by operating activities and from $8 million borrowed on the revolving credit facility. During the 16 weeks ended July 24, 1993, funds for capital expenditures, debt repayment and the purchase of redeemable Class A common stock from former management investors of the Southern Region were principally obtained from additional borrowings. Debt repayment for the 16 weeks ended July 23, 1994 and for the 16 weeks ended July 24, 1993 consisted of scheduled repayments of capital leases and various mortgages. At July 23, 1994, there was $33.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Company's $100 million revolving credit facility and $24.4 million was available for additional borrowings or letters of credit. The Company was in compliance with the terms and restrictive covenants of its debt obligations for the 16 weeks ended July 23, 1994. During the 16 weeks ended July 23, 1994, the Company opened two replacement stores and completed the remodeling of two stores. Capital expenditures for the year ending April 1, 1995, including capitalized leases other than real estate capitalized leases, are expected to be approximately $70 million. Capital expenditures will be principally for new stores, replacement stores, remodeled stores and expansions. The Company plans to finance capital expenditures and scheduled debt repayments primarily through cash provided by operations. The Company will finance a limited amount of capital expenditures through purchase money mortgages and equipment leases. 8 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION No item in PART II - OTHER INFORMATION is applicable.
