The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 5 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MATERIAL SCIENCES CORPORATION The data for the three months ended May 31, 2001 and 2000 have not been audited by independent public accountants but, in the opinion of the Company, reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information at those dates and for those periods. The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2001 Annual Report to Shareowners and Annual Report on Form 10-K. (1) During the three-month periods ending May 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company derived approximately 15.2% and 11.8%, respectively, of its sales from fees billed to Walbridge Coatings ("Partnership") by a subsidiary of the Company for operating the Walbridge, Ohio facility. (2) During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company reduced depreciation expense by $1,392 at Pinole Point Steel due to changes made to the estimated useful lives of the galvanizing and coil coating lines, which more accurately reflects the service lives of the assets. (3) Includes trade receivables due from the Partnership of $1,334 as of May 31, 2001 and no amount as of February 28, 2001. (4) The Company was not in compliance with one financial covenant as of May 31, 2001. The banks waived the default and amended the line of credit agreement effective May 31, 2001. (5) Preferred Stock, $1.00 Par Value; 10,000,000 Shares Authorized; 1,000,000 Designated Series B Junior Participating Preferred; None Issued. (6) Common Stock, $.02 Par Value; 40,000,000 Shares Authorized; 18,096,989 Shares Issued and 14,712,553 Shares Outstanding as of May 31, 2001 and 17,676,984 Shares Issued and 14,292,548 Shares Outstanding as of February 28, 2001. (7) Treasury Stock at Cost; 3,384,436 Shares as of May 31, 2001 and as of February 28, 2001. (8) On June 29, 2001, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of MSC Specialty Films, Inc. ("MSC/SFI"), including its interest in Innovative Specialty Films, LLC, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement by and among MSC, MSC/SFI, Bekaert and N.V. Bekaert S.A., dated June 10, 2001. The Company received cash at closing of $122,137 and expects to record an after-tax gain of approximately $37,000 to $43,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The gain is subject to certain post-closing adjustments to the purchase price and expenses incurred as a result of the transaction. Net proceeds after taxes and transaction costs will be approximately $89,000, which the Company intends to use to primarily reduce long-term debt. As a result of the sale, MSC/SFI has been reported as a discontinued operation for the 6 current and prior periods. Net sales of MSC/SFI in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased 2.2% to $16,369 as compared with $16,735 in the same period last year. (9) Business Segments: The Company reports segment information based on how management disaggregates its businesses for evaluating performance and making operating decisions. The Company's three remaining segments are: Engineered Materials, Coated Products and Services and Pinole Point Steel. Pinole Point Steel's loss before income taxes included an allocation of consolidated interest expense totaling $2,468 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and $2,114 in the same period last year. Corporate represents unallocated general corporate expenses. Sales between segments are recorded at market rates, and the related intercompany profit is eliminated in consolidation. The net sales on a geographic basis are not material. Information concerning the Company's business segments in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001 was as follows: Three Months Ended May 31, -------------------------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- Net Sales --------- Coated Products and Services $ 45,684 $ 48,184 Engineered Materials 21,782 21,432 Eliminations (1,466) (826) -------- --------- Subtotal 66,000 68,790 Pinole Point Steel 32,374 41,497 -------- --------- Total $ 98,374 $ 110,287 ======== ========= Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes --------------------------------- Coated Products and Services $ 1,776 $ 3,639 Engineered Materials 1,954 2,905 Corporate and Eliminations (2,542) (3,281) -------- --------- Subtotal 1,188 3,263 Pinole Point Steel (6,264) (2,120) -------- --------- Total $ (5,076) $ 1,143 ======== ========= 7 MATERIAL SCIENCES CORPORATION FORM 10-Q For The Quarter Ended May 31, 2001 PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Results of Operations --------------------- RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS -------------------------------- As a result of the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company's Specialty Films segment, including MSC Specialty Films, Inc. ("MSC/SFI"), to Bekaert Corporation and its affiliates ("Bekaert") in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, MSC/SFI has been reported as a discontinued operation for the current and prior periods. Net sales from continuing operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased 10.8% to $98,374 from $110,287 in the same period last year due to lower sales at Coated Products and Services and Pinole Point Steel, offset by slightly higher sales at Engineered Materials. MSC's gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 was 11.1% as compared with 14.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The decline in gross profit margin was partially due to deteriorating selling prices at Pinole Point Steel that more than offset the decrease in the cost of steel purchased. In addition, lower capacity utilization, higher utility costs of $1,428 and an unfavorable product mix contributed to the decrease. This decrease was slightly offset by a reduction in depreciation expense of $1,392 at Pinole Point Steel due to changes made to the estimated useful lives of the galvanizing and coil coating lines, which more accurately reflects the service lives of the assets. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were 13.3% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared with 11.3% in the same period last year. The increase in SG&A percentage was mainly due to the decrease in net sales and severance expense related to employee terminations totaling $688 for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. For the first quarter of fiscal 2002, income before income taxes from continuing operations decreased to a loss of $5,076 as compared with income of $1,143 for the same period last year. The Company's three remaining principal business segments are Engineered Materials, Coated Products and Services and Pinole Point Steel. The Engineered Materials segment includes the laminates and composites product group. This segment combines layers of metal and other materials designed to meet specific customer requirements for the automotive, electronics, lighting and appliance markets. The Coated Products and Services segment includes the coil coating and electrogalvanizing product groups. This segment provides galvanized and prepainted products and services primarily to the automotive, building and construction, appliance and lighting markets. The Pinole Point Steel segment includes the hot-dip 8 galvanizing product group. This segment provides galvanized and prepainted product primarily to the building and construction market. Engineered Materials During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, sales of Engineered Materials were $21,782, slightly higher than $21,432 in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 due to higher shipments of Quiet Steel(R) for automotive dash panels and computer disk drives, offset by lower sales of disc brake noise dampers and other automotive materials. Income before income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 was $1,954, 32.7% lower than the first quarter of fiscal 2001, mainly due to a less favorable product mix, a one-time reorganization expense of $360 and a decline in capacity utilization. Coated Products and Services Net sales of Coated Products and Services during the first quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased 5.2% to $45,684 from $48,184 in the same period last year. Income before income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased to $1,776, a 51.2% reduction from $3,639 in the same period last year. Coil coating income before income taxes declined in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as a result of: lower sales volume to the automotive and building and construction markets as compared with last year's first quarter; expenses associated with employee terminations resulting from the Company indefinitely suspending its oldest and least efficient coil coating line in Elk Grove Village, Illinois; higher utility costs; and a decline in capacity utilization from 81 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 to 68 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Excess industry capacity, current economic conditions and escalating energy costs were all factors which led to the decision to suspend the coil coating line in Elk Grove Village. The Company has shifted its customer orders to other Company coil coating lines in Elk Grove Village. Electrogalvanizing income before income taxes grew in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 mainly due to higher sales volume to the automotive industry as compared with last year's first quarter. Electrogalvanizing capacity utilization also increased to 90 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared with 67 percent in the same period last year. MSC serves the electrogalvanizing market through its 50% ownership interest in Walbridge Coatings, a partnership ("Partnership") among subsidiaries of MSC, Bethlehem Steel Corporation ("BSC") and LTV Corporation ("LTV"). The Partnership term expires on December 31, 2004. The Partnership also has a long-term toll processing agreement with ISPAT Inland Inc. (a former partner) which expires on December 31, 2001. On December 29, 2000, LTV filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Sales to LTV through the Partnership were $2,004 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Although the Company believes that LTV's participation in the Partnership and the Partnership's processing services for LTV are valuable to the LTV estate, there currently can be no assurance that the LTV bankruptcy will not result in a disruption of such relationships. As of May 31, 2001, the Partnership is continuing to make shipments to LTV under special credit arrangements. On March 21, 2001, the bankruptcy court approved debtor in possession financing for LTV. The Partnership has no pre-petition receivables outstanding and $793 of 9 post-petition receivables outstanding as of May 31, 2001. MSC Pre Finish Metals Inc. has $274 of pre-petition receivables outstanding that are fully reserved and no post-petition receivables outstanding as of May 31, 2001. Pinole Point Steel Net sales for Pinole Point Steel declined 22.0% to $32,374 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared with $41,497 for the same period last year. Pinole Point Steel's sales continue to be affected by the soft West Coast building and construction market. Loss before income taxes was $6,264 in the first quarter compared with $2,120 for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The decline was due to deteriorating selling prices that more than offset the decrease in the cost of steel purchased, lower volume and higher utility costs, partially offset by lower depreciation charges. Loss before income taxes included an allocation of consolidated interest expense totaling $2,468 and $2,114 for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. Total Other (Income) and Expense, Net and Income Taxes Total other (income) and expense, net was expense of $2,555 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared with $2,272 of expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Interest expense increased $285 due to higher debt levels. In addition, Equity in Results of Joint Ventures was a loss of $312 for the first quarter of this fiscal year as compared with a loss of $293 for the same period last year. MSC's effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 43.0% (benefit) in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared with 26.9% (provision) for the same period last year. RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATION --------------------------------- On June 29, 2001, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets its Specialty Films segment, including MSC/SFI and MSC/SFI's interest in Innovative Specialty Films, LLC ("ISF"), pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement by and among MSC, MSC/SFI, Bekaert and N.V. Bekaert S.A., dated June 10, 2001. The Company received cash at closing of $122,137 and expects to record an after-tax gain of approximately $37,000 to $43,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The gain is subject to certain post-closing adjustments to the purchase price and expenses incurred as a result of the transaction. Net proceeds after taxes and transaction costs will be approximately $89,000, which the Company intends to use to primarily reduce long-term debt. Net sales of MSC/SFI in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased 2.2% to $16,369 as compared with $16,735 in the same period last year. Higher sales of solar control window film were offset by lower shipments of coating and laminating materials. Income from discontinued operation for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 was $1,243, 31.4% lower than $1,812 in the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease was due to higher utility costs and lower sales of sputtered films to the electronics market, resulting in a first quarter loss of $130 from ISF, the joint venture with Bekaert, as compared with income of $292 in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. 10 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, MSC generated $3,240 of cash from operating activities as compared with utilizing $4,601 in the first quarter last year. The increase in cash generation was due mainly to decreases in working capital as a result of lower receivable and inventory levels and lower variable compensation payments in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared with the same period last year, offset by lower net income. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") from continuing operations decreased to $2,872 for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared with $10,127 for the same period last year. MSC's capital expenditures during the first quarter of fiscal 2002 were $1,465 as compared with $4,261 in the same period last year. As of May 31, 2001, MSC's total debt increased to $140,888 from $137,465 as of February 28, 2001. On April 20, 2001, the Company's line of credit agreement was amended to reduce the committed line of credit of $90,000 to $50,000 and eliminate the uncommitted $10,000 line of credit outstanding prior to the amendment. There was $35,200 outstanding under this line of credit as of May 31, 2001. The Company had executed letters of credit totaling $5,315 against these lines, leaving an available line of credit of $9,485 as of May 31, 2001. The Company was not in compliance with one financial covenant as of May 31, 2001. The banks waived the default and amended the line of credit agreement effective May 31, 2001. On June 21, 2001, the Company's line of credit agreement was further amended to provide the consent for the sale of MSC/SFI and a reduction in the committed line of credit from $50,000 to $20,000. On June 29, 2001, the Company utilized a portion of the proceeds from the MSC/SFI sale to pay the total amount outstanding under its line of credit of $42,600. The Company has invested the remaining proceeds from the sale in AAA securities. The Company is reviewing its alternative uses of the sale proceeds including further reductions in debt. The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of MSC/SFI, available financing, other potential divestitures and cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and debt payments. MSC continues to participate in the implementation of settlements with the government for the clean-up of various Superfund sites.
