See accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 6 7 DREYER'S GRAND ICE CREAM, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - General: Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) is a single segment industry company engaged in the business of manufacturing and distributing premium ice cream and other frozen dessert products to grocery and convenience stores, foodservice accounts and independent distributors in the United States. The consolidated financial statements for the thirteen week periods ended March 29, 1997 and March 30, 1996 have not been audited by independent public accountants, but include all adjustments, such as normal recurring accruals, which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated operating results for the periods. The statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year. The aforementioned statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 28, 1996, appearing in the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders. NOTE 2 - Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories at March 29, 1997 and December 28, 1996 consisted of the following (in thousands):
March 29, December 28, 1997 1996 --------- ----------- (unaudited) Raw materials $ 7,850 $ 5,361 Finished goods 39,329 35,399 ------- ------- $47,179 $40,760 ======= =======
NOTE 3 - Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share: Net (loss) income per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, which were 13,368,000 shares for the quarter ended March 29, 1997 and 12,974,000 shares for the quarter ended March 30, 1996. The potentially dilutive effect of the Company's redeemable convertible Series B preferred stock and other common stock equivalents was anti-dilutive for the thirteen week periods ended March 29, 1997 and March 30, 1996. Accordingly, fully diluted net income per share is not presented. 7 8 In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128), was issued. SFAS 128 establishes new standards for computing and disclosing earnings per share (EPS). The Company is required to adopt SFAS 128 during the fourth quarter of 1997 effective in the Company's 1997 Annual Report to Stockholders. When adopted, SFAS 128 will require the Company to replace its traditional EPS disclosures with a dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS and to restate all prior EPS data presented. If SFAS 128 had been in effect for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 1997, basic and diluted EPS would be the same as the net (loss) income per common share for both periods presented in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. 8 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the percent which the items in the Consolidated Statement of Operations bear to net sales and the percentage change of such items compared to the indicated prior period:

9 10 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Thirteen Weeks ended March 29, 1997 Compared with Thirteen Weeks Ended March 30, 1996 The Company embarked on a five year plan (the Strategic Plan, also referred to as the Grand Plan) during the second quarter of 1994 to accelerate the sales of its brand throughout the country. The key elements of this plan are: 1) to build a high margin brand with a leading market share through effective consumer marketing activities, 2) to expand the Company's direct-store-delivery distribution network to national scale and enhance this capability with sophisticated information and logistics systems and 3) to introduce innovative new products. The potential benefits of the Strategic Plan are increased market share and future earnings above those levels that would be attained in the absence of the Strategic Plan. As originally announced, the Company anticipated that the cost of implementing the Strategic Plan would materially reduce earnings during the fiscal years of 1994 and 1995. For fiscal 1996, earnings improved to a net income of $6,997,000, or $0.15 per common share, from a net loss in 1995 of $(1,524,000), or $(0.26) per common share. This improvement is partially attributable to benefits accruing from the investments made under the Strategic Plan during the past two and a half years. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company recorded a net loss of $(50,000), or $(0.10) per common share, compared with net income of $1,684,000, or $0.03 per common share, recorded in the first quarter of 1996. Net profitability for the first quarter was lower than the prior year first quarter due primarily to a decline in the Company's gross margin which is discussed below. The Company anticipates that the earnings benefits expected under the Strategic Plan will be achieved in 1997 and future years. However, no assurance can be given that these expectations relative to future market share and earnings benefits of the strategy will be achieved. The success of the strategy will depend upon, among other things, consumer purchase responsiveness to the increased marketing expenditures, competitors' marketing responses, market conditions affecting the price of the Company's products, commodity costs and efficiencies achieved in manufacturing and distribution operations. Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 1997 increased by $33,468,000, or 20%, to $200,438,000 from $166,970,000 for the same period last year. Sales of the Company's branded products were 21%, or $22,395,000, higher than the comparable quarter in 1996 and accounted for 67% of the overall increase. The increase in sales of the Company's branded products related primarily to higher unit sales in all markets due in part to the continued higher advertising and promotion spending under the Company's Strategic Plan. The products that led this increase were Dreyer's and Edy's Grand Ice Cream, Starbucks(TM) Ice Cream, Dreyer's and Edy's Grand Light(R) Ice Cream, Edy's new Homemade Ice Cream and Whole Fruit Sorbet(TM). Sales of branded products purchased from other manufacturers (partner brands) increased 18% led by Healthy Choice(R) Low Fat Ice Cream from Con Agra, Inc. Sales of partner brands represented 37% of consolidated net sales compared with 38% (34%, as reported last year, prior to the allocation of the sales of M-K-D Distributors, Inc. between the Company's branded products and partner brands) in the same period last year. The effect of price increases for the Company's branded products and partner brands was not significant. Cost of goods sold increased $29,719,000, or 22%, over the first quarter of 1996, while the overall gross margin decreased to 19.1% from 20.6%. The gross margin decreased due to lower margins on partner brands in 1997 caused by a shift in the mix of products and the reduction of prior year cost of goods sold by a $2,100,000 insurance settlement recorded during the first quarter of 1996. The decrease in gross margin was partially offset by an increase in the gross margin of the Company's branded products and a relative increase in sales of the Company's branded products as a percent of consolidated net sales (which carry a higher margin than partner brands) in the first quarter of 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 1997 were $5,777,000, or 19%, higher than in the same period of 1996. This increase related primarily to higher advertising and promotion expenses in the first quarter of 1997 compared with the same period in 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses remained 18% of total sales in both periods. Interest expense increased $776,000, or 45%, over the first quarter of 1996, due primarily to additional interest expense from the issuance of senior notes in the second quarter of 1996, partially offset by a reduction in interest expense due to lower borrowings on the Company's line of credit. Income taxes decreased due to a pre-tax loss in 1997. The effective tax rate remained relatively unchanged at 39.3% for the first quarter of 1997 compared with 39.5% for the first quarter of 1996. 10 11 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working capital at March 29, 1997 decreased $6,989,000 from year-end 1996 due primarily to the seasonal increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities partially offset by an increase in trade accounts receivable. Cash was provided primarily from operations and was used to reduce long-term debt by $7,889,000 and fund a $6,059,000 increase in property, plant and equipment. At March 29, 1997, the Company had $1,632,000 in cash and cash equivalents, and an unused credit line of $102,200,000. The Company believes that its credit line, along with its liquid resources, internally generated cash and financing capacity, are adequate to meet anticipated operating and capital requirements. 11 12 PART II: OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES Title of Class of Security Involved: Preferred Stock Purchase Rights. On March 4, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved a second amendment (the Second Amendment) to the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (the Rights Agreement) dated as of March 4, 1991 by and between the Company and ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, LLC (as second successor in interest to Bank of America, NT&SA), as Rights Agent. The Second Amendment, which became effective March 17, 1997, amends the Rights Agreement to delete the last sentence of Section 27 of the Rights Agreement, thereby allowing for amendment of the Rights Agreement to change the redemption price of the Preferred Stock Purchase Rights (the Rights) or the expiration date of the Rights.
