See accompanying notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. 3 -------------------------- SYMS CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements July 3, 1993 and July 2, 1994 (Unaudited) - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1- In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of July 3, 1993 and July 2, 1994 and the results of operations and cash flows for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 3, 1993 and July 2, 1994. While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 1994. Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results of the operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 2, 1994 is not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Note 2- Inventories at July 3, 1993 and July 2, 1994 have been computed using a gross profit margin estimated by management. Note 3- The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", effective January 3, 1993. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 on the Company's financial statements was not material. 4 -------------------------- SYMS CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------- Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 1994 increased by $668,000 or .8% when compared with the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1993. Comparable store net sales decreased by 13.2%; this was offset by an increase of 14.0% attributable to five new stores which opened in the fourth quarter of 1993 and four new stores in 1994. Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 1994 increased by $2,435,000 or 1.7% when compared with the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1993. This increase is attributable to a decrease in comparable store net sales of 9.6%, offset by an increase of 11.3% attributable to five new stores which opened in 1993 and four new stores which opened in 1994. During the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 1994, the company increased its estimated gross margin for the twenty-six weeks then ended to 32.5% from 32.0%. In 1993, the estimated gross margin was 32.0%. As a percentage of net sales, operating, general and administrative expenses (excluding occupancy, depreciation and amortization) were 23.1% for the thirteen weeks and 23.8% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 1994 and 21.4% for the thirteen weeks and 22.1% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1993. The increase in operating, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales is attributable to a decrease in comparable store net sales and additional operating costs associated with the five new stores opened in 1993 and four new stores in 1994. Operating, general and administrative expenses for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 1994 increased by $1,508,000 or 8.9% from the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1993. Comparable store operating, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1,412,000 or 8.3%. This decrease was offset by $2,920,000 of expenses related to the five stores opened in 1993 and four stores in 1994. Operating, general and administrative expenses for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 1994 increased by $3,056,000 or 9.5% from the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1993. Comparable store operating, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1,487,000 or 4.6%. This decrease was offset by $4,543,000 of expenses related to the five stores opened in 1993 and four store in 1994. As a percentage of net sales, occupancy expenses were 3.7% for the thirteen weeks and 3.8% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 1994 and 2.7% for the thirteen weeks and 3.0% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1993. The increase in occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales can be attributed to a decrease in comparable store net sales and the additional occupancy expenses associated with the five new stores opened in 1993 and four stores opened in 1994. Interest - net for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 1994 resulted in interest expense of $274,000 as compared to interest income of $152,000 in the comparable prior period. The change was the result of additional borrowings and a decrease in capitalized interest. Income before provision for income taxes was 3.5% for the thirteen weeks and 2.3% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 1994 and 5.8% for the thirteen weeks and 4.5% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 1993. The decrease in income before provision for income taxes as percentage of net sales from the preceding period resulted principally from a decrease in comparable store net sales. Provision for income taxes, as a percent of income before provision for income taxes, decreased from 42.3% in 1993 to 41.0% in 1994 principally as a result of decreases in certain non-tax deductible expenses. 5 -------------------------- SYMS CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working capital decreased to $53,607,000 at July 2, 1994 from $63,734,000 at July 3, 1993. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $2,864,000 in the 1994 period compared to $5,996,000 in the 1993 period. Net income for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 1994 amounted to $1,979,000 compared to $3,827,000 in the preceding period, a decrease of $1,848,000. The $17,394,000 increase in merchandise inventories and the $15,830,000 increase in accounts payable are primarily due to the addition of five new stores opened during 1993 and four new stores opened in 1994. Net cash used in investing activities was $9,707,000 in the 1994 period compared to $6,019,000 in the 1993 period. The increase is primarily due to capital expenditures for fixed assets related to the four stores opened in 1994. Net cash provided by financing activities was $9,513,000 in the 1994 period and net cash used in financing activities was $94,000 in the 1993 period. The increase in financing activities was related to additional borrowings for capital expenditures and merchandise inventories. The Company declared a cash dividend of five cents per share to shareholders of record on July 1, 1994 and payable on August 1, 1994. During the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 1994 the Company opened four stores and plans to open two more stores in 1994. The capital expenditures historically required to open a Syms store vary based upon whether the Company leases or purchases the location. The average cost to open a leased location is approximately $1,100,000 and $4,700,000 for a purchased location. These costs can vary significantly based upon geographical location, amount of tenant required improvements and total store square footage. The company has planned capital expenditures of approximately $14,700,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994. Management believes that existing reserves, internally generated funds and funds available from the revolving credit agreement will be sufficient for future working capital and capital expenditure requirements, for new and existing stores. 6 -------------------------- SYMS CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------- Part II - Other Information - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Item 4.
