ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Investments, including short-term and long-term, decreased $7.1 million to $45.6 million as of September 30, 1999 from $52.6 million as of December 31, 1998. During this period, $14 million of long-term investments matured of which $5.2 million were reinvested. Investments also include a $1.8 million accretion in the value of the Company's investment in a zero-coupon. This zero-coupon investment is securing the principal payment on the Company's $70 million long-term notes. Notes and accounts receivable increased by $8.6 million to $37.4 million as of September 30, 1999 from $28.8 million as of December 31, 1998. The increase is mainly attributable to a 21% increase in sales volume when the last quarter of 1998 is compared to the third quarter of 1999. Inventories decreased by $2 million to $31.9 million as of September 30, 1999 from $33.9 million as of December 31, 1998. Clinker inventory declined $3.2 million as a result of higher clinker consumption caused by a surging demand for cement. This decline was offset by an increase of approximately $1 million in coal inventory due to the timing of shipments. Prepaid expenses of $8.1 million as of September 30, 1999 were $3 million higher than the $5.1 million balance as of December 31, 1998. This increase resulted principally from payments related to insurance, property tax and municipal license tax, which are prepaid and amortized over the covered period. Property, plant and equipment increased by $5.7 million to $168 million as of September 30, 1999 from $162.3 million as of December 31, 1998. This increase resulted from capital expenditures of $16.3 million less depreciation and amortization of $10.5 million. Other long-term assets increased $2.6 million to $11.2 million as of September 30, 1999. The increase was mainly due to a $2.2 million growth in the loan portfolio of the Company's financing subsidiary. 8 9 Total current liabilities increased $7.3 million to $29.8 million as of September 30, 1999 from $22.5 million as of December 31, 1998. The increase was mainly due to increased purchases of raw materials at a higher average cost by our ready-mixed concrete subsidiary, responding to a higher volume in sales. At its September 22, 1999 meeting, the Board of Directors of the Registrant declared a $0.19 per share dividend on its common stock, payable on November 11, 1999 to stockholders of record on October 1, 1999. As of September 30, 1999, the Registrant had 5,186,274 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working capital decreased to $65.3 million as of September 30, 1999 compared with $73.5 million as of December 31, 1998. The current ratio decreased to 3.19 to 1 as of June 30, 1999 from 4.26 to 1 as of December 31, 1998. The reduction was due mainly to the increase in current liabilities resulting from higher accounts payable. As mentioned above, long-term investments totaling $14 million were redeemed at their respective maturity dates during the nine-month period ending September 30, 1999. The cash from these matured investments, in addition to $16.9 million of cash generated by the Company's operations, was used to finance capital expenditures of $16.3 million, repurchase 192,800 shares of the Company common stock for $6.4 million, pay dividends in the amount of $3 million and new invest of $5.2 million. Capital expenditures incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 totaled $16.3 million. Depreciation expense for the same period totaled $10.5 million. Total long-term debt as of September 30, 1999 reflected a net increase of $3.1 million from $83 million as of December 31, 1998 to $86.1 million as of September 30, 1999. The mainly reason for this increase was new loans taken to funding our financing subsidiary, net of debt repayments of $2.1 million for the nine-month period ending September 30, 1999. As of September 30, 1999, the approximate aggregate maturity of long-term debt for the remainder of 1999 and thereafter are as follows (in thousands): 1999 $ 805 2000 3,937 2001 4,591 2002 4,200 2003 and thereafter 72,576 ------- Total $86,109 =======
Loan agreements with term lenders impose certain restrictions on the Company concerning working capital, indebtedness, dividends, investments and certain advances, among 9 10 other restrictions. At September 30, 1999, the Company was in compliance with the provisions of the loan agreements. The Company has available credit facilities in the aggregate amount of $20.6 million with commercial banks for short-term financing and discount of trade paper from customers. These short-term facilities are renewable annually at the discretion of the banks. The facilities do not require commitment fees. No amount was outstanding under these facilities at any month-end during the nine-month period ending September 30, 1999. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 Net income for the third quarter of 1999 was $2,559,000, or $0.48 per share, an increase of approximately 6% over the $2,419,000, or $0.45 per share, for the third quarter of 1998. Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 1999 increased 19% to $43.4 million, compared with $36.5 million for the same quarter of 1998. Cement sales, including sales to subsidiaries, increased 28% to approximately 349,000 tons in the third quarter of 1999 from 271,000 tons for the same quarter of 1998. Ready-mixed concrete sales increased 19% to 381,000 cubic yards in the third quarter of 1999 from 320,000 cubic yards in the same quarter of 1998. These increases resulted from continued high construction activity throughout Puerto Rico. Consolidated cost of sales for the third quarter of 1999 increased 26% to $33.4 million from $26.4 million for the comparable period of 1998 due principally to the higher volume of sales and the higher cost of aggregates for the ready-mixed concrete subsidiary. Gross margins for the third quarter of 1999 decreased to 23% from 28% for the third quarter of 1998. Ready-mixed concrete margins decreased for the third quarter of 1998 from the comparable 1999 period. Strong construction activity has created a heavy demand for aggregates resulting in a shortage of supply, which has impacted the cost of the material. Average cost per unit has increased more than expected, while selling prices per cubic yard of ready-mixed concrete remained almost flat when compared to 1998. Due to the surging demand for cement and less than optimum production in the cement sector during this quarter, the Company imported clinker during the third quarter of 1999, increasing average cost for the period. There were no clinker imports during the third quarter of 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $245,000, or 4% to $6.2 million for the third quarter of 1999 from $5.9 million in the comparable quarter of 1998. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from 16% for the third quarter of 1998 to 14% in the comparable period of 1999. Interest and financial charges decreased by $152,000 in the third quarter of 1999, as a result of capitalization of interest related to construction projects during the third quarter of 1999. 10 11 NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 Consolidated net sales increased by $23.8 million, or 21%, to $136.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 compared with $112.4 million for the same period of 1998. Total cement sales, including sales to subsidiaries, rose to 995,000 tons during the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 from 778,000 tons for the same period of 1998. Ready-mixed concrete sales increased 23% to 1,182,000 cubic yards during the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 from 964,000 cubic yards during the same period of 1998. These increases were partially offset by decreases in sales of 14% in the Company's paper and bag division and 11% in the lime subsidiary. Cost of sales increased from $81.4 million as of September 30, 1998 to $98.3 million as of September 30, 1999. This 21% increase was mostly attributable to increased sales volume. Gross margin for both nine-month periods remained at approximately 28%. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 totaled $20.5 million, an increase of $2.8 million over the $17.7 million reported for the same period of 1998. Higher legal expenses related to the now settled legal suits, as disclosed in the second quarter of 1999, were mainly the result of this change. Interest expense and interest income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 increased $560,000 and $190,000, respectively, from the same period in 1998 to $4.4 million and $2.7 million. This increase was related to the Company's financing subsidiary, as well as interest income arising from loans granted by this subsidiary. Other (income) expenses shifted from income of $226,000 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 to an expense of $404,000 for the same period in 1999. The main reason for this change was the realization of a $900,000 gain in the sale of investments available-for-sale during the first quarter of 1998. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements contained in this document, including this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, that are not historical facts constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance of the Company and its businesses to be materially different from that expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions; political and social conditions; government regulations and compliance therewith; demographic changes; sales mix; pricing levels; changes in sales to, or the identity of, significant customers; changes in technology, including the technology of cement production; capacity constraints; availability of raw materials and adequate labor; availability of liquidity 11 12 sufficient to meet the Company's needs; the ability to adapt to changes resulting from acquisitions; and various other factors referenced in this Management's Discussion and Analysis. The Company could be particularly affected by weather in Puerto Rico, changes in the Puerto Rico economy, and changes in the Government of Puerto Rico or the manner in which it regulates the Company. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in or additions to the factors affecting such forward-looking statements. ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's investment portfolio is subject to market risk. Market risk is the risk of economic loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and other relevant market prices. The Company's primary market risk exposure relates to interest rates, as interest rate volatility affects the value of the Company's investment portfolio. The re-pricing of the Company's financial assets and liabilities also affects interest income and interest expense. The Company manages its interest rate risk exposure to maintain the stability of interest income and interest expense under varying interest rate environments. Taking advantage of the favorable interest rate environment in recent years, the Company has taken certain steps to minimize its interest rate risk exposure, which include obtaining long-term financing at fixed interest rates. At the same time, to minimize its interest rate risk exposure and manage its liquidity needs, the Company invests primarily in securities issued by the United States government and its agencies with short-term (one year or less) and medium-term (over 1 through 7 years) maturity. The Company has also invested in a US government security with a 20-year term to be provided as collateral for and a source of repayment of some of its long-term debts. PART II.
