Arctic Cat Inc. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S - X pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of December 31, 2001, the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and cash flows for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE B--NET EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company's basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The Company's diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents relating to stock options, when dilutive. Options to purchase 154,123 and 446,344 shares of common stock with weighted average exercise prices of $16.72 and $13.94 were outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and options to purchase 165,042 and 525,570 shares of common stock with weighted average exercises prices of $16.70 and $13.09 were outstanding during the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, all of which were excluded from the computation of common share equivalents because they were anti-dilutive. NOTE C--SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Short-term investments consist of the following: December 31, March 31, 2001 2001 ___________ __________ Trading securities $48,164,000 $45,251,000 Available-for-sale debt securities 10,699,000 11,696,000 ___________ __________ $58,863,000 $56,947,000 =========== ========== NOTE D--INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following: December 31, March 31, 2001 2001 ___________ __________ Raw materials and sub-assemblies $19,153,000 $20,948,000 Finished goods 28,798,000 16,147,000 Parts, garments and accessories 29,968,000 23,844,000 ___________ __________ $77,919,000 $60,939,000 =========== ========== NOTE E--ACCRUED EXPENSES Accrued expenses as of December 31, 2001 consisted of marketing, $15,531,000, warranties, $18,514,000, PWC exit costs, $7,827,000 and other $15,091,000. Accrued expenses as of December 31, 2000 consisted of marketing, $15,424,000, warranties, $18,903,000, PWC exit costs, $8,088,000 and other $16,486,000. Accrued expenses as of March 31, 2001 consisted of marketing, $16,596,000, warranties, $11,922,000, PWC exit costs, $7,958,000 and other $13,109,000. NOTE F--DISCONTINUED PERSONAL WATERCRAFT BUSINESS AND RELATED COSTS On October 7, 1999, the Company announced that it was exiting the personal watercraft (PWC) business effective September 30, 1999. The Company did not produce additional PWC units beyond the completed production of the 1999 models. The Company currently estimates the majority of the PWC exit plan will conclude by December 31, 2002. The Company had no significant sales for the watercraft product line for the three month periods ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. At December 31, 2001 $4,973,000 is accrued for consumer incentives and $2,854,000 for other exit costs in connection with this discontinued product line. There were no adjustments to the initial recorded accrual in conjunction with the PWC exit plan for the three and nine month periods ending December 31, 2001, except for a reduction of the PWC parts inventory reserve of approximately $450,000 during the three month period ending December 31, 2001. NOTE G--ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, on April 1, 2001. These standards require entities to recognize derivatives in their financial statements as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative is recognized into earnings unless certain criteria are met. These Standards also require formal documentation, designation and effectiveness assessment of transactions receiving hedge accounting. The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge the variability in foreign exchange rates related to purchase commitments denominated in Japanese yen for ATV engines. The Japanese yen contracts are designated as and meet the criteria for cash flow hedges. The Company does not enter into forward exchange contracts for trading purposes. Gains and losses on forward exchange contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold upon the sale of ATV units. During the nine month period ending December 31, 2001, $949,000 was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into cost of goods sold. The Company estimates amounts recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into cost of goods sold within 12 months. At April 1, 2001, the Company had open Japanese yen forward exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $21,495,000 maturing through June 2001. The adoption of SFAS 133 resulted in a liability of $1,176,000 for the open Japanese yen forward exchange contracts, accumulated other comprehensive income net of tax of $741,000 and current deferred tax assets of $435,000. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had open Japanese yen forward exchange contracts, maturing through December 2002, with notional amounts totaling $47,196,000 and a fair value liability $880,000. There were no open forward contracts relating to Canadian currency transactions at December 31, 2001. NOTE H--OTHER MATTERS Shareholders' Rights Plan On September 17, 2001, the Board of Directors adopted a Shareholders' Rights Plan (the "Rights Plan") which replaces the previous Rights Plan that expired on September 5, 2001. On September 17, 2001, the Company filed a Form 8-K concerning the Rights Plan. Dividend Declaration On January 29, 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share, payable on March 1, 2002 to shareholders of record on February 13, 2002. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview Arctic Cat Inc. (the "Company") designs, engineers, manufactures and markets snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) under the Arctic Cat brand name, as well as related parts, garments and accessories principally through its facilities in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. The Company markets its products through a network of independent dealers located throughout the contiguous United States and Canada, and through distributors representing dealers in Alaska, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and other international markets. The Arctic Cat brand name has existed for more than 30 years and is among the most widely recognized and respected names in the snowmobile industry. The Company trades on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol ACAT. Results of Operations THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000. Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 increased 13.0% to $178,553,000 from $158,032,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 due to a 23.1% increase in snowmobile sales and a 3.3% increase in parts, garments and accessory sales. These increases were offset to a certain extent by a 3.9% decrease in ATV sales. Third quarter fiscal 2002 snowmobile unit volume increased 31.2% and ATV unit volume increased 3.9%. Year-to-date net sales increased 7.6% to $476,735,000 from $443,071,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 due to a 13.9% increase in snowmobile sales and a 7.8% increase in parts, garments and accessory sales. These increases were offset to a certain extent by a 2.6% decrease in ATV sales. Year-to-date snowmobile unit volume increased 13.2% while ATV unit volume was flat. Gross profits increased 13.2% to $47,657,000 from $42,114,000 for the same quarter in fiscal 2001. The quarterly gross profit percentage was 26.7% compared to 26.6% for the same quarter last year. Year-to-date gross profits increased 10.8% to $127,784,000 from $115,336,000 for the same period last year. The year-to-date gross profit percentage improved to 26.8% from 26.0% for the same period last year primarily due to the yen, dollar relationship. Operating expenses increased 12.7% to $36,360,000 from $32,270,000 for the third quarter of last year. Operating expenses, as a percent of sales, were 20.4% for both quarters. Year-to-date operating expenses increased 10.9% to $84,911,000 from $76,571,000 for the same period last year. As a percent of sales year-to-date operating expenses were 17.8% versus 17.3% last year. The increase in operating expenses for the quarter and year-to-date was due to increased research and development expenses and to a lesser extent increased ERP (computer system) costs. Other income decreased 39.9% to $690,000 from $1,149,000 for the three month period and 38.2% to $1,892,000 from $3,060,000 for the nine month period resulting from lower interest income earned on investments due to lower interest rates. Net earnings for the third quarter increased 10.7% to $8,151,000 from $7,365,000 for the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share increased 13.3% to $0.34 from $0.30 for the third quarter of fiscal 2001. Year-to-date net earnings increased 8.6% to $30,440,000 from $28,023,000. Year-to-date diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 increased 11.4% to $1.27 from $1.14 per share for the same period last year. Liquidity and Capital Resources The seasonality of the Company's snowmobile production cycle and the lead time between the commencement of snowmobile and ATV production in the early spring and commencement of shipments late in the first quarter have resulted in significant fluctuations in the Company's working capital requirements during the year. Historically, the Company has financed its working capital requirements out of available cash balances at the beginning and end of the production cycle and with short-term bank borrowings during the middle of the cycle. Cash and short-term investments were $82,881,000 at December 31, 2001. The Company's cash balances traditionally peak early in the fourth quarter and then decrease as working capital requirements increase when the Company's snowmobile and spring ATV production cycles begin. The Company's investment objectives are first, safety of principal and second, rate of return. The Company believes that the cash generated from operations and available cash will be sufficient to meet its working capital, regular quarterly dividend, share repurchase program, and capital expenditure requirements for the short and long-term basis. Line of Credit The Company has an unsecured credit agreement with banks for the issuance of up to $45,000,000 of documentary and stand-by letters of credit and for working capital and in addition has a $15,000,000 seasonal credit agreement for the Company's peak production period. New Pronouncements In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued two new pronouncements: Business Combinations and Goodwill and Intangible Assets. These pronouncements, among other things, eliminate the pooling-of- interest method of accounting for business combinations and require that the purchase method be used. In addition, they eliminate the amortization of goodwill arising from purchase business combinations but require annual tests for impairment. The implementation of these statements in April 2002 should not have a material effect on the Company as it has no goodwill or intangible assets on its balance sheet. The FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. SFAS 144 clarifies the accounting for accounting for long- lived assets. This statement is effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2002 and is not expected to have a material effect. The Company will adopt Emerging Interpretation Task Force (EITF) No. 00-14 and 00-25 during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002. EITF No. 00-14 and 00-25 will require the Company to reclassify certain operating expenses as a reduction of revenue. The Company will reclassify these expenses for all periods presented. The reclassification will not change previously reported operating profit. Forward Looking Statements The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for certain forward-looking statements. This 10-Q contains forward- looking statements that reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. The words "aim," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," and other expressions that indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to: product mix and volume; competitive pressure on sales and pricing; increase in material or production cost which cannot be recouped in product pricing; changes in the sourcing of engines from Suzuki; warranty expenses; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; product liability claims and other legal proceedings in excess of insured amounts; environmental and product safety regulatory activity; effects of the weather; overall economic conditions and consumer demand and confidence. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The Company is subject to certain market risk relating to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Information regarding foreign currency exchange rates is discussed within "Management's Discussion and Analysis -- Inflation and Exchange Rate" in the 2001 Annual Report and 10-K and Note G of this Form 10-Q. Interest rate market risk is managed for cash and short-term investments by investing in a diversified frequently maturing portfolio consisting of municipal bonds and money market funds that experience minimal volatility. The carrying amount of available-for-sale debt securities approximate related fair value and the associated market risk is not deemed to be significant. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
