This report and the exhibits attached hereto contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 27A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934).  Such statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties.  Further, forward looking statements are intended to speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we disclaim any duty to update such statements.  Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact.  Such statements are often but not always characterized by qualifying words such as “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan” and “project” and their derivatives, and include but are not limited to statements about expectations for our future operations, production levels, sales, gross profit margins, operating income, SG&A or other expenses, earnings, cash flow, and other performance measures, as well as any statements regarding future economic or industry trends or future developments. Factors that could influence the matters discussed in such statements include the level of housing starts and sales of existing homes, consumer confidence, trends in disposable income, and general economic conditions.  Decreases in these economic indicators could have a negative effect on our business and prospects.  Likewise, increases in interest rates, particularly home mortgage rates, and increases in consumer debt or the general rate of inflation, could affect us adversely. Changes in consumer tastes or preferences toward products not produced by us could erode demand for our products. Changes in the value of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies could affect our financial results because a significant portion of our operations are located outside the United States. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies could make our products less competitive on the basis of price in markets outside the United States, and strengthening of currencies in Canada and China can have a negative impact on our sales of products produced in those places. Also, economic and political instability in international areas could affect our operations or sources of goods in those areas, as well as demand for our products in international markets. Further information about these factors, as well as other factors that could affect our future operations or financial results and the matters discussed in forward-looking statements, is included in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 2013 for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2013.
 
Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On August 28, 2013, we issued a news release to announce our financial results for the first quarter ended July 28, 2013.  The news release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99(a).

Also on August 28, 2013, we released a Financial Information Release containing additional financial information and disclosures about our first quarter ended July 28, 2013.  The Financial Information Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99(b).

The news release and Financial Information Release contain disclosures about free cash flow, a non-GAAP liquidity measure that we define as net cash provided by operating activities, less cash capital expenditures, plus any proceeds from sales of equipment, plus excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, and plus or minus the effects of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents.  Details of these calculations and a reconciliation to information from our GAAP financial statements is set forth in the Financial Information Release.  Management believes the disclosure of free cash flow provides useful information to investors because it measures our available cash flow for potential debt repayment, stock repurchases, dividends, and additions to cash and cash equivalents.  We note, however, that not all of the company’s free cash flow is available for discretionary spending, as we have mandatory debt payments and other cash requirements that must be deducted from our cash available for future use.  In operating our business, management uses free cash flow to make decisions about what commitments of cash to make for operations, such as capital expenditures (and financing arrangements for these expenditures), purchases of inventory or supplies, SG&A expenditure levels, compensation, and other commitments of cash, while still allowing for adequate cash to meet known future commitments for cash, such as debt repayment, and also for making decisions about dividend payments and share repurchases.

The news release and Financial Information Release contain disclosures about return on capital, both for the entire company and for individual business segments.  We define return on capital as operating income (on an annualized basis if at a point other than the end of the fiscal year) divided by average capital employed.  Operating income excludes certain non-recurring charges, and average capital employed is calculated over rolling two – five fiscal periods, depending on which quarter is being presented.  Details of these calculations and a reconciliation to information from our GAAP financial statements is set forth in the Financial Information Release.  We believe return on capital is an accepted measure of earnings efficiency in relation to capital employed, but it is a non-GAAP performance measure that is not defined or calculated in the same manner by all companies.  This measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or other performance measures, but we believe it provides useful information to investors by comparing the operating income we produce to the asset base used to generate that income.  Also, annualized operating income does not necessarily indicate results that would be expected for the full fiscal year.  We note that, particularly for return on capital measured at the segment level, not all assets and expenses are allocated to our operating segments, and there are assets and expenses at the corporate (unallocated) level that may provide support to a segment’s operations and yet are not included in the assets and expenses used to calculate that segment’s return on capital.  Thus, the average return on capital for the company’s segments will generally be different from the company’s overall return on capital.  Management uses return on capital to evaluate the company’s earnings efficiency and the relative performance of its segments.

The news release and Financial Information Release contain disclosures about our consolidated adjusted effective income tax rate, which is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that represents our estimated cash expenditures for income taxes.  The consolidated adjusted effective income tax rate is calculated by eliminating the non-cash items that affect our GAAP income tax expense, including adjustments to valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, reductions in income taxes due to net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards, and non-cash foreign income tax expenses.  Currently we do not pay income taxes in the U.S. due to NOL carryforward amounts, and thus the consolidated adjusted effective income tax rate represents income tax expense for our subsidiaries located in China and Canada. A reconciliation of our consolidated adjusted effective income tax rate to our consolidated effective GAAP income tax rate is set forth in the Financial Information Release.  We believe this information is useful to investors because it demonstrates the amount of cash, as a percentage of income before income taxes, expected to be required to fund our income tax liabilities incurred for the periods reported.  Our consolidated income tax expense on a GAAP basis can vary widely over different reporting periods due to the effects of non-cash items, and we believe the calculation of our consolidated adjusted effective tax rate is helpful in comparing financial reporting periods and the amount of income tax liability that we are or will be required to pay to taxing authorities in cash. We also note that, because the consolidated adjusted effective income tax rate used to calculate adjusted net income is based on annualized amounts and estimates, adjusted net income for any quarter or year-to-date period does not necessarily indicate results that could be expected for the full fiscal year. In addition, non-cash reductions in our U.S. NOL carryforwards are based on pre-tax losses in prior periods and will not be available to reduce taxes on current earnings once the NOL carryforward amounts are utilized.  Management uses the consolidated adjusted effective income rate to analyze the effect that income tax expenditures are likely to have on cash balances and overall liquidity.

The news release and Financial Information Release contains disclosures about our adjusted net income, which is a non-GAAP performance measure that incorporates the consolidated adjusted effective income tax rate discussed in the preceding paragraph.  Adjusted net income is calculated by multiplying the consolidated adjusted effective income tax rate by the amount of income before income taxes shown on our income statement.  Because the consolidated adjusted effective income tax rate eliminates non-cash items that affect our GAAP income tax expense, adjusted net income is intended to demonstrate the amount of net income that would be generated by our operations if only the cash portions of our income tax expense are deducted from income before income taxes.  As noted above, our consolidated income tax expense on a GAAP basis can vary widely over different reporting periods due to the effect of non-cash items, and we believe the calculation of adjusted net income is useful to investors because it eliminates these items and aids in the analysis of comparable financial periods by reflecting the amount of earnings available after the deduction of tax liabilities that are paid in cash.  Adjusted net income should not be viewed in isolation by investors and should not be used as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP.  We also note that, because the consolidated adjusted effective income tax rate used to calculate adjusted net income is based on annualized amounts and estimates, adjusted net income for any quarter or year-to-date period does not necessarily indicate results that could be expected for the full fiscal year.  In addition, the limitations on the usefulness of consolidated adjusted effective income tax rates described in the preceding paragraph also apply to the usefulness of adjusted net income, since consolidated adjusted effective income tax rates are used to calculate adjusted net income.  Management uses adjusted net income to help it analyze the company’s earnings and performance after taking certain tax matters into account when comparing comparable quarterly and year-to-date periods.

 
4

 
 
The news release and Financial Information Release contains disclosures about our Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP performance measure that reflects net income excluding tax expenses and net interest expense, as well as depreciation and amortization expense and stock based compensation expense.  Details of these calculations and a reconciliation to information from our GAAP financial statements is set forth in the Financial Information Release.  We believe presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and similar performance measures that exclude certain charges from earnings, are often used by investors and financial analysts in evaluating and comparing companies in our industry.  We note, however, that such measures are not defined uniformly by various companies, with differing expenses being excluded from net income to calculate these performance measures.  For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed in isolation by investors and should not be used as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, nor should it be used for direct comparisons with similarly titled performance measures reported by other companies.  Use of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool has limitations in that this measure does not reflect all expenses that are necessary to fund and operate our business, including funds required to pay taxes, service our debt, and fund capital expenditures, among others.  Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to help it analyze the company’s earnings and operating performance, by excluding the effects of expenses that depend upon capital structure and debt level, tax provisions (which can be volatile for our company as described above), and non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation expense that do not require immediate uses of cash.

Given the volatility in the income tax area during fiscal 2013 and previous years, the company is also reporting adjusted net income (non-GAAP), which is calculated using estimated cash income tax expense for its foreign subsidiaries.  The company currently does not incur cash income tax expense in the U.S., nor does it expect to for a number of years, due to approximately $50.7 million in U.S. net operating loss carryforwards.  For the first quarter of fiscal 2014, adjusted net income was $4.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared with $4.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.  On a pre-tax basis, the company reported income of $5.5 million compared with pre-tax income of $5.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. (A presentation of adjusted net income and reconciliation to net income is set forth on page 6).

Commenting on the results, Frank Saxon, president and chief executive officer of Culp, Inc., said, “We are pleased with our first quarter performance, marking an excellent start to fiscal 2014.  These results reflect strong operating performance in both of our businesses.  We continue to experience favorable customer response to our designs and wide range of products and we are excited about the progress we are making in product innovation and creativity.  These efforts, which are our top strategic priority, are making significant contributions to our sales and profit performance, with an increasing percentage of our sales coming from recent product introductions.  We compete in a product and fashion driven business that is always changing.  As a result, our ability to sustain excellence in creating innovative fabrics season after season is a key driver to our long-term success.

“We are also pleased that our consistent financial performance, higher cash flow and sound balance sheet have enabled us to reward our shareholders with an increase in our quarterly cash dividend.  Looking ahead, we continue to expect another strong year of free cash flow for fiscal 2014,” added Saxon.

Mattress Fabrics Segment

Mattress fabric sales for the first quarter were $38.2 million, up slightly compared with $38.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

“Our mattress fabrics business had a solid performance for the first quarter of fiscal 2014,” said Iv Culp, president of Culp’s mattress fabrics division.  “We are pleased with our consistent sales, especially when compared with unusually strong sales for the first quarter of last year.  We have continued to be on par with the industry during a more challenging business environment than we experienced a year ago.  These results reflect our ability to keep pace with changing customer demand across all price points and fabric styles in the mattress industry. With our extensive manufacturing platform, flexible capacity and exceptional design capabilities, we have the ability to produce a diverse line of products for all categories.  As a result, Culp has a strong competitive position as a full-service supplier of mattress fabrics.  Our innovative designs and new product introductions are resonating with our customers, resulting in strong future placements with the major players in the mattress industry.  Importantly, we have also remained focused on providing outstanding customer service, reliable delivery performance and the consistent quality and value that are synonymous with the Culp brand.

“We continued to make progress during the first quarter with Culp-Lava, our most recent business venture established to produce and market mattress covers.  We are pleased with the sales contribution this quarter as we have now completed most of the specialized training and development work necessary for production at our new Stokesdale, North Carolina, manufacturing facility.  We are focused on improving our operating efficiencies as we work through this transition period.  Additionally, we have the ability to adjust capacity in line with current and expected demand.  We look forward to becoming a more mature business in the cut and sew operation that can efficiently react to the seasonality of the mattress industry.  We are pleased with our results for the first quarter and look forward to the long-term growth opportunities for Culp-Lava.

“Looking ahead, we expect a normal seasonal slowdown in the second fiscal quarter, which will influence our sales and operating efficiencies.  We also do not expect overall industry demand to be as robust as it was during the second quarter last year,” Culp concluded.

Upholstery Fabrics Segment

Sales for this segment were $32.0 million for the first quarter, a 2.4 percent improvement compared with sales of $31.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

We experienced better than expected sales in our upholstery fabrics business during the first quarter of fiscal 2014,” noted Saxon.  “We were especially pleased with the sales performance as compared to last year given the strong industry demand.  These results primarily reflect continued favorable response from key customers to our innovative designs and new product introductions.

“Sales of our China produced fabrics continued to be the primary catalyst of our growth for the first quarter.  China produced fabrics accounted for 94 percent of Culp’s upholstery fabrics sales during the first quarter, reflecting our ability to offer a diverse product mix of fabric styles and price points with excellent service and quality.  Culp is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of our customers with our outstanding design capabilities and our reliable China manufacturing platform.  We are pleased with the increasing level of fabric placements with customers in the U.S., China and Europe.  Further, we have an excellent opportunity to build on this momentum, especially as the economy strengthens and the housing market makes a meaningful recovery.”

Saxon continued, “We are pleased with our progress with respect to our Culp Europe operation, especially the sales performance in the first quarter and the level of fabrics placed with key customers.  We remain optimistic about the long-term opportunities for Culp Europe to enhance our global sales.”

Balance Sheet

“Maintaining a strong financial position and generating free cash flow will continue to be top priorities for fiscal 2014,” added Saxon.  “During the quarter, we achieved $1.9 million of free cash flow, after investing $4.3 million in capital expenditures and working capital.  As of July 28, 2013, we reported $27.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.  This cash position also reflects $2.6 million spent on an asset purchase and consulting agreement entered into early in the quarter.  The company paid a $0.04 per share quarterly cash dividend on July 15, 2013, a 33 percent increase from the quarterly cash dividend payments in fiscal 2013.  Total debt was $7.2 million, which includes long-term debt plus current maturities of long-term debt and our line of credit.  After the end of the quarter, we made a scheduled annual principal payment of $2.2 million, thus further lowering our total debt to $5.0 million.”

Outlook

Commenting on the outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Saxon remarked, “We expect overall sales to be in the range of flat to four percent higher as compared with the second quarter of last year.

“We expect sales in our mattress fabrics segment to be flat to slightly lower than the same period a year ago.  Operating income and margin in this segment are expected to be lower than the same period a year ago.

“In our upholstery fabrics segment, we expect sales to be moderately higher as compared to the same time last year. We believe the upholstery fabric segment’s operating income and margin will be higher than the same quarter of last year.

“Considering these factors, the company expects to report pre-tax income for the second fiscal quarter of 2014 in the range of $4.1 million to $4.7 million.  Pre-tax income for last year’s second quarter was $4.5 million.”

In closing, Saxon remarked, “We are pleased with a strong start to fiscal 2014.  We have many reasons to be optimistic about the year ahead with our outstanding design capabilities and innovative product offerings that are resonating with customers in both businesses.  We will continue to leverage our scalable and global manufacturing platforms to deliver these products and keep pace with current and expected industry demand.  We are cautiously optimistic about an improved economic outlook for fiscal 2014, especially as the housing market gains traction and supports consumer demand for home furnishings.  We believe Culp is favorably positioned for continued growth in this environment with the financial strength to execute our strategic initiatives and reward shareholders.  Above all, we are committed to outstanding performance for our customers as a financially stable and trusted source for innovative fabrics.”

This release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 27A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934).  Such statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties.  Further, forward looking statements are intended to speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we disclaim any duty to update such statements.  Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact.  Such statements are often but not always characterized by qualifying words such as “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan” and “project” and their derivatives, and include but are not limited to statements about expectations for our future operations, production levels, sales, gross profit margins, operating income, SG&A or other expenses, earnings, cash flow, and other performance measures, as well as any statements regarding future economic or industry trends or future developments. Factors that could influence the matters discussed in such statements include the level of housing starts and sales of existing homes, consumer confidence, trends in disposable income, and general economic conditions.  Decreases in these economic indicators could have a negative effect on our business and prospects.  Likewise, increases in interest rates, particularly home mortgage rates, and increases in consumer debt or the general rate of inflation, could affect us adversely. Changes in consumer tastes or preferences toward products not produced by us could erode demand for our products. Changes in the value of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies could affect our financial results because a significant portion of our operations are located outside the United States. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies could make our products less competitive on the basis of price in markets outside the United States, and strengthening of currencies in Canada and China can have a negative impact on our sales of products produced in those places. Also, economic and political instability in international areas could affect our operations or sources of goods in those areas, as well as demand for our products in international markets. Further information about these factors, as well as other factors that could affect our future operations or financial results and the matters discussed in forward-looking statements, is included in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 2013, for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2013.
