5 6 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------------------------------------------------- General Factors Generally Affecting Sales of RV and Boating Products ------------------------------------------------------------ The Company is the largest wholesale distributor of replacement parts, accessories and supplies for recreational vehicles, and one of the largest distributors of replacement parts, accessories and supplies for boats, in North America. Sales are made by the Company to retail parts and supplies stores, service and repair establishments, and new and used recreational vehicle and boat dealers ("After-Market Customers"). The Company's sales are affected primarily by (i) usage of recreational vehicles and boats which affects the consumers' needs for and purchases of replacement parts, repair services and supplies, and (ii) sales of new recreational vehicles and boats, because consumers often "accessorize" their recreational vehicles and boats at the time of purchase. The usage and the purchase, by consumers, of recreational vehicles and boats depend, in large measure, upon the extent of discretionary income available to consumers and their confidence about economic conditions. Weather conditions also affect the usage of recreational vehicles and boats. As a result, the Company's sales and operating results can be, and in the past have been, adversely affected by recessionary economic conditions, increases in interest rates, which affect the availability and affordability of financing for purchases of recreational vehicles and boats, increases in gasoline prices which adversely affect the costs of using recreational vehicles and boats, and unusually adverse winter weather conditions. Until 1993, the Company's business consisted primarily of distributing and marketing to its customers products that the Company purchased from third party manufacturers and that were sold under the brand names of those manufacturers. During the past four years, the Company has introduced into the marketplace a growing number of "proprietary products". These products have been designed for the Company by independent design professionals, to the Company's product specifications, are produced by independent manufacturers specifically for the Company and are marketed and sold by the Company under its own brand names. Sales of proprietary products, which accounted for 10% of the Company's net sales in 1994, increased to 15% and then to 23% of net sales in 1995 and 1996, respectively, both as a result of greater market acceptance of the Company's proprietary products and additions by the Company of new products to its proprietary products line. Factors Affecting Recent Operating Results ------------------------------------------ During the five-year period ended December 31, 1995, the Company purchased substantially all of its requirements for air conditioners, awnings and refrigerators for recreational vehicles from Dometic Corporation ("Dometic"), a division of White Consolidated Industries. Sales of such products accounted for 22% and 24%, respectively, of the Company's sales in 1994 and 1995. During the first quarter of 1996 Dometic terminated its supply agreement with the Company (as well as its supply agreements with other independent distributors) as a result of its decision to integrate its operations vertically by marketing its products directly to After-Market Customers in direct competition with the Company and other After-Market distributors of RV products. In response to that action by Dometic, the Company entered into a supply contract with Recreation Vehicle Products, Inc. ("RVP"), which manufactures air conditioners under the Coleman(R) brand name and awnings under the Faulkner brand name. Under that contract, RVP agreed to supply all of the Company's requirements for RV air conditioners and awnings for a minimum term of five years, commencing in 1996. 6 7 As a result of both the magnitude and timing of the changes in supply relationships and the introduction, at the same time, of a number of new proprietary products, RVP and certain of the Company's proprietary product manufacturers encountered difficulties in meeting the Company's requirements for their products for the spring and summer months when demand from After-Market customers is at its highest (see "Seasonality and Inflation"). In addition the Company encountered increased competition within the RV products After-Market due to Dometic's entry as a competitor in that market and increased price competition from other distributors seeking to regain market share lost to the Company's proprietary products and to Dometic. Since the supply problems encountered by the Company primarily affected its supply of, and therefore its ability to meet customer demand for, higher margin products, the supply problems and the increased competition adversely affected the Company's sales and margins, particularly in the last three quarters of 1996, as the Company lost sales of such products to its competitors. The changes in supply relationships and increased competition in 1996 also adversely affected the Company's net sales and margins in the first quarter of 1997 and are expected to have an adverse effect on operating results in the succeeding quarters of 1997, the extent of which is difficult to predict. There also is no assurance that additional changes within the After-Market, that would increase competition or create further uncertainties for the Company, as well as others in the industry, will not occur in the future. Results of Operations - --------------------- Net sales decreased by approximately $2,175,000 or 6% in the quarter ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the corresponding quarter of 1996. The Company's gross margin decreased to 15.7% of net sales in the three months ended March 31, 1997 from 20.1% for the same period of 1996. This decrease was due primarily to (i) changes in product mix to a greater proportion of lower margin products; (ii) increased price competition in the markets in which the Company operates; and (iii) the impact of fixed costs on a lower sales base. Selling, general and administrative expenses declined by 11% or $648,000 in three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the same period of 1996. As a percentage of sales, these expenses decreased to 14.2% of net sales in the first quarter of 1997 from 15.1% in the first quarter of 1996. These decreases were primarily a result of increased efficiencies associated with the Company's national call center and the expiration of certain non-competition agreements that were entered into in connection with prior acquisitions by the Company. Due to the combined effects of the decline in sales and gross margin, operating income declined to $526,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1997, as compared to $1,846,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The Company maintains minority ownership positions in several companies in related industries. The Company's ownership interests in these companies are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Company includes in its operating results its pro rata share of the net income of these companies which is reported as "equity in net earnings of affiliates." The Company's equity in the net earnings of these companies is not cash, and the Company is dependent on the declaration of cash dividends by those companies to realize any current cash from these investments. No dividends were declared by those companies in the first three months of 1997. 7 8 Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Company finances its working capital requirements for its operations primarily with borrowings under a long-term revolving bank credit facility and internally generated funds. Under that credit facility, the Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $50,000,000, or (ii) an amount equal to 80% of its eligible accounts receivable and 50% of its eligible inventory (the "borrowing base"). At May 6, 1997, outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility were approximately $37,500,000. The Company believes that available credit under the revolving credit facility, together with internally generated funds, will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its working capital requirements for the foreseeable future. The Company's accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and the amount of its outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, increase in the first quarter of each year as a result of increases in product purchases by its customers in anticipation of seasonal increases in consumer demand for RV and boating products that occur in the spring and summer. As a result, the Company generally uses cash for, rather than generating cash from, operations in the first quarter of the year. Net cash used in operating activities was $8,864,000 in the first quarter of 1997, as compared to $7,035,000 in the first quarter of 1996. During the first quarter of 1997, borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit increased by $9,888,000, as compared to an increase of $7,180,000 in the same quarter of 1996. The increased borrowings were used by the Company to finance accounts receivable growth and accelerate payment of the Company's accounts payable. Seasonality and Inflation - ------------------------- Sales of recreational vehicle and boating parts, supplies and accessories are seasonal. The Company has significantly higher sales during the six-month period from April through September than it does during the remainder of the year. Because a substantial portion of the Company's expenses are fixed, operating income declines and the Company sometimes incurs losses and must rely more heavily on borrowings to fund operating requirements in the months when sales are lower. Generally, the Company has been able to pass inflationary price increases on to its customers. However, inflation also may cause or may be accompanied by increases in gasoline prices and interest rates. Such increases, or event the prospect of increases in the price or shortages in the supply of gasoline, can adversely affect the purchase and usage of recreational vehicles, which can result in a decline in the demand for the Company's products. -------------------------------- This Report contains forward-looking information which reflects Management's current views of future financial performance. The forward-looking information is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effect on future performance of the changing product supply relationships in the industry and the uncertainties created by those changes; the potential for increased price competition; and possible changes in economic conditions, prevailing interest rates or gasoline prices, or the occurrence of unusually severe weather conditions, that can affect both the purchase and usage of recreational vehicles and boats and which, in turn, affects purchases by consumers of the products that the Company sells. For information concerning such factors and risks, see the foregoing discussion in this section of this Report titled, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation." Due to such uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. 8 9 PART II ITEM 6.
