See Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 7 7 Harte-Hanks, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Harte-Hanks, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company"). The statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes. NOTE B - INCOME TAXES The Company's quarterly income tax provision of $12.2 million was calculated using an effective income tax rate of approximately 39.9%. The Company's effective income tax rate is derived by estimating pretax income and income tax expense for the year ending December 31, 2001. The effective income tax rate calculated is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the addition of state taxes and to certain expenses recorded for financial reporting purposes (primarily goodwill amortization) which are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. NOTE C - EARNINGS PER SHARE A reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

NOTE E - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," issued in June 1998, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This statement requires than an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 9 9 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Operating results were as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED In thousands MARCH 31, 2001 MARCH 31, 2000 CHANGE ------------ -------------- -------------- ------ Revenues $ 232,120 $ 226,057 2.7% Operating expenses 200,268 195,906 2.2% ----------- ----------- Operating income $ 31,852 $ 30,151 5.6% =========== =========== Net income $ 18,363 $ 17,754 3.4% =========== =========== Diluted earnings per share $ 0.28 $ 0.25 12.0% =========== ===========
Consolidated revenues grew 2.7% to $232.1 million and operating income grew 5.6% to $31.9 million in the first quarter of 2001 when compared to the first quarter of 2000. The Company's overall growth resulted from acquisitions and increased business with both new and existing customers. Overall operating expenses compared to 2000 increased 2.2% to $200.3 million. Net income grew 3.4% to $18.4 million, or 28 cents per share, compared to 25 cents per share on a diluted basis. The net income growth resulted from the growth in operating income partially offset by $1.0 million in higher interest expense and lower interest income. Increased interest cost was the result of higher debt levels in 2001, the proceeds of which were primarily used to repurchase the Company's stock. DIRECT MARKETING Direct and interactive marketing operating results were as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED In thousands MARCH 31, 2001 MARCH 31, 2000 CHANGE ------------ -------------- -------------- ------ Revenues $ 157,793 $ 156,191 1.0% Operating expenses 136,375 134,832 1.1% ----------- ----------- Operating income $ 21,418 $ 21,359 0.3% =========== ===========
Direct and interactive marketing revenues increased $1.6 million, or 1.0%, in the first quarter of 2001 compared to 2000. These results reflect a decline in the retail industry sector, direct and interactive marketing's largest vertical market, and slowdowns in the high tech/telecom and financial services industry sectors. These results were offset by excellent revenue growth in the pharmaceutical, healthcare and automotive industry sectors. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) experienced moderate growth while Marketing Services revenues declined slightly from the prior year. CRM revenues increased due to acquisitions, new customer gains and increased software revenue and internet business with existing customers, partially offset by decreased revenues from lead generation, telesales and fulfillment business. The traditional business-to-business activities of CRM continued to have steady growth in the first quarter, but were partially offset by declines in revenues from business-to-consumer activities. Marketing Services experienced revenue declines in its targeted mail operations and softness in its logistics and personalized direct mail operations. The remainder of fiscal year 2001 results could be affected by the recent economic uncertainty and continued softness in many of the direct and interactive marketing segment's largest industry sectors. Operating expenses increased $1.5 million, or 1.1%, in the first quarter of 2001 compared to 2000. Payroll costs increased $3.0 million, primarily due to 10 10 acquisitions and increased wages. Also contributing to the increased operating expenses was additional depreciation and amortization expense of $1.6 million due to goodwill associated with acquisitions and higher levels of capital investment to support growth. Partially offsetting these increased operating expenses were decreased general and administrative expenses, primarily professional services, resulting from the Company's effort to control discretionary costs. Operating expenses were also impacted by prior year acquisitions. SHOPPERS Shopper operating results were as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED In thousands MARCH 31, 2001 MARCH 31, 2000 CHANGE ------------ -------------- -------------- ------ Revenues $ 74,327 $ 69,866 6.4% Operating expenses 61,545 58,779 4.7% ----------- ----------- Operating income $ 12,782 $ 11,087 15.3% =========== ===========
Shopper revenues increased $4.5 million, or 6.4%, in the first quarter of 2001 compared to 2000. Revenue increases were the result of improved sales in established markets as well as year-over-year geographic expansions into new neighborhoods in both California and Florida. From a product-line perspective, Shoppers had growth in both its distribution products, primarily pre-printed inserts and 4-color glossy heatset flyers, and its in-book products, primarily core sales and employment related advertising. Shoppers also continued to experience success in up-selling ads onto its web-site. Shoppers experienced decreases in its real-estate and automotive related advertising sectors. Operating expenses increased $2.8 million, or 4.7%, in the first quarter of 2001 compared to 2000. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in labor costs of $0.8 million and additional production costs of $2.2 million, including increased postage of $1.6 million due to increased volumes and higher postage rates. Partially offsetting these increased operating expenses were decreased general and administrative expenses, resulting from the Company's effort to control discretionary costs. Other Income and Expense The Company recorded a loss of approximately $0.5 million in the first quarter 2001 on the write-down of an investment which was being accounted for under the cost method. Interest Expense/Interest Income Interest expense increased $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2001 over 2000 due primarily to higher debt levels in 2001, the proceeds of which were used to repurchase the Company's stock. Interest income decreased $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2001 over the same period in 2000 due to lower cash balances and lower interest rates during the first quarter of 2001. Income Taxes The Company's income tax expense increased $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2000. This increase was due primarily to the higher pre-tax income levels. The effective tax rate was 39.9% for the first quarter of 2001 and 40.5% for the first quarter of 2000. 11 11 Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $63.0 million, compared to $32.5 million for the first three months of 2000. The increase in 2001 primarily related to increased collections of a higher accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2000 than at December 13, 1999. Net cash outflows from investing activities were $8.8 million for the first three months of 2001, compared to $19.0 million for the first three months of 2000. The cash outflow in 2001 primarily relates to purchases of fixed assets, while the outflow in 2000 relates to both purchases of fixed assets and acquisitions. Net cash outflows from financing activities were $55.6 million in 2001 compared to $3.9 million in 2000. The cash outflow in 2001 is attributable primarily to the net repayment of long-term borrowings and the repurchase of treasury stock. Capital resources are available from and provided through the Company's two unsecured credit facilities. These credit facilities, two $100 million variable rate, revolving loan commitments, were put in place on November 4, 1999. All borrowings under the $100 million revolving Three-Year Credit Agreement are to be repaid by November 4, 2002. On November 2, 2000 the Company was granted a 364-day extension to its $100 million revolving 364-Day Credit Agreement. All borrowings under the $100 million revolving 364-Day Credit Agreement are to be repaid by November 1, 2001. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had $176 million of unused borrowing capacity under these two credit facilities. Management believes that its credit facilities, together with cash provided from operating activities, will be sufficient to fund operations and anticipated acquisitions and capital expenditures needs for the foreseeable future. Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition From time to time, in both written reports and oral statements by senior management, the Company may express its expectations regarding its future performance. These "forward-looking statements" are inherently uncertain, and investors should realize that events could turn out to be other than what senior management expected. Set forth below are some key factors which could affect the Company's future performance, including its revenues, net income and earnings per share; however, the risks described below are not the only ones the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known, or that the Company currently considers immaterial, could also impair the Company's business operations. Legislation -- There could be a material adverse impact on the Company's direct and interactive marketing business due to the enactment of legislation or industry regulations arising from public concern over consumer privacy issues. Restrictions or prohibitions could be placed upon the collection and use of information that is currently legally available. Data Suppliers - There could be a material adverse impact on the Company's direct and interactive marketing business if owners of the data the Company uses were to withdraw the data. Data providers could withdraw their data if there is a competitive reason to do so or if legislation is passed restricting the use of the data. Acquisitions -- In recent years the Company has made a number of acquisitions in its direct and interactive marketing segment, and it expects to pursue additional acquisition opportunities. Acquisition activities, even if not consummated, require substantial amounts of management time and can distract from normal operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that the synergies and other objectives sought in acquisitions will be achieved. Competition -- Direct and interactive marketing is a rapidly evolving business, subject to periodic technological advancements, high turnover of customer personnel who make buying decisions, and changing customer needs and preferences. 12 12 Consequently, the Company's direct and interactive marketing business faces competition in both of its sectors -- CRM and Marketing Services. The Company's shopper business competes for advertising, as well as for readers, with other print and electronic media. Competition comes from local and regional newspapers, magazines, radio, broadcast and cable television, shoppers and other communications media that operate in the Company's markets. The extent and nature of such competition are, in large part, determined by the location and demographics of the markets targeted by a particular advertiser, and the number of media alternatives in those markets. Failure to continually improve the Company's current processes and to develop new products and services could result in the loss of the Company's customers to current or future competitors. In addition, failure to gain market acceptance of new products and services could adversely affect the Company's growth. Qualified Personnel -- The Company believes that its future prospects will depend in large part upon its ability to attract, train and retain highly skilled technical, client services and administrative personnel. Qualified personnel are in great demand and are likely to remain a limited resource for the foreseeable future. Postal Rates -- The Company's shoppers are delivered by standard mail, and postage is the second largest expense, behind payroll, in the Company's shopper business. The present standard postage rates went into effect in January 2001 and are expected to increase in the third quarter of 2001. Overall shopper postage costs are expected to grow moderately as a result of this increase as well as anticipated increases in circulation and insert volumes. Postal rates also influence the demand for the Company's direct and interactive marketing services even though the cost of mailings is borne by the Company's customers and is not directly reflected in the Company's revenues or expenses. Paper Prices -- Paper represents a substantial expense in the Company's shopper operations. In recent years newsprint prices have fluctuated widely, and such fluctuations can materially affect the results of the Company's operations. Economic Conditions -- Changes in national economic conditions can affect levels of advertising expenditures generally, and such changes can affect each of the Company's businesses. In addition, revenues from the Company's shopper business are dependent to a large extent on local advertising expenditures in the markets in which they operate. Such expenditures are substantially affected by the strength of the local economies in those markets. Direct and interactive marketing revenues are dependent on national and international economics. 13 13 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (a) Exhibits.
