AMCOL INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (In thousands) Note 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial information included herein, other than the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, has been prepared by management without audit by independent certified public accountants who do not express an opinion thereon. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, has been derived from and does not include all the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995. The information furnished herein includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim period, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Management recommends the accompanying consolidated financial information be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's 1995 Form 10-K which accompanies the 1995 Corporate Report. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain items in the 1995 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to comply with the consolidated financial statements presentation for 1996. Note 2: INVENTORIES Inventories at March 31, 1996 have been valued using the same methods as at December 31, 1995. The composition of inventories at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, was as follows:
March 31, December 31, 1996 1995 ----------------- ---------------- Crude stockpile and in-process inventories $ 31,121 $ 29,705 Other raw material, container and supplies inventories 16,823 17,500 $ 47,944 $ 47,205
Note 3: EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding at the end of each period. AMCOL INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected the Company's financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 vs. 1995 Net sales increased by $6.8 million, or 8.6%, while gross profits and operating profits decreased by $1.4 million, or 7.9%, and $3.0 million, or 45.5%, respectively. Lower sales of agricultural carrier products and underutilized cat litter capacity in the minerals segment were the primary reasons for the gross profit decrease. Higher selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the development of the nanocomposite technology contributed to the lower operating profits. Net interest expense increased by $1.0 million, or 92.4%, as March 31, 1996 debt (both long and short-term) increased by $32.8 million, or 36.8%, over the prior year quarter. Also, approximately $.4 million of interest related to plant expansion was capitalized in the 1995 quarter. Earnings per share were $.06 for the 1996 quarter compared with $.19 for the 1995 quarter. A brief discussion by business segment follows:
Quarter Ended March 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1996 1995 1996 v. 1995 ------------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------- Minerals (Dollars in Thousands) $ Change % Change --------- -------- Net sales $ 38,002 100.0% $ 39,097 100.0% $(1,095) -2.8% Cost of sales 32,117 84.5% 31,070 79.5% Gross profit 5,885 15.5% 8,027 20.5% (2,142) -26.7% General, selling and administrative expenses 4,521 11.9% 4,236 10.8% 285 6.7% Operating profit 1,364 3.6% 3,791 9.7% (2,427) -64.0%
Sales decreased by $1.1 million, or 2.8% , over the prior year period. Significantly lower sales to agricultural carrier market and marginally lower sales to the durable goods markets accounted for the change. The incremental impact of the loss of the carrier business was significant to the lower gross profit in 1996. In addition, cost increases for packaging of cat litter, both raw materials and labor, adversely affected domestic margins. The Company expanded its litter packaging capability during the course of 1995, but current demand does not support the additional fixed costs associated with the facilities. Management is currently addressing the cost problems at these operations, in addition to its overall cost structure. Dramatic improvement in profitability is not anticipated for the second quarter of 1996. The increase in general, selling and administrative expenses was related to activities of the overseas subsidiaries. The U.K. operation has expanded its staff to service the European environmental market. During the second quarter of 1996, this group will become part of the environmental segment, resulting in restatement of prior disclosures of both minerals and environmental segment results for prior periods. AMCOL INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Quarter Ended March 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1996 1995 1996 v. 1995 ------------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------- Absorbent Polymers (Dollars in Thousands) $ Change % Change -------- -------- Net sales $ 32,046 100.0% $26,480 100.0% $ 5,566 21.0% Cost of sales 25,720 80.3% 20,302 76.7% Gross profit 6,326 19.7% 6,178 23.3% 148 2.4% General, selling and administrative expenses 2,479 7.7% 2,094 7.9% 385 18.4% Operating profit 3,847 12.0% 4,084 15.4% (237) -5.8%
Revenues increased by $5.6 million, or 21.0% over the prior year period as sales volume increased by 34.6%. Capacity utilization remained at approximately the same level as the fourth quarter of 1995, however European sales demand exceeded the U.K. plant production capability for its newer generation product, requiring supplemental shipments of finished product from the U.S. at lower margins. This situation is likely to continue until the third quarter of 1996, when the current U.K. plant modification and expansion is completed. The U.S. plant experienced lower shipments to Latin America as it undergoes a conversion from using an outside distributor to direct selling in one of its major markets. The lower sales are a result of the distributor reducing inventory levels in anticipation of the change. General, selling and administrative expenses increased by 18.4%. Bad debt provisions and increased costs associated with trade and company meetings accounted for more than 70% of the increase.
Quarter Ended March 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1996 1995 1996 v. 1995 ------------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------- Environmental (Dollars in Thousands) $ Change % Change -------- -------- Net sales $ 10,322 100.0% $ 7,925 100.0% $ 2,397 30.2% Cost of sales 7,235 70.1% 5,397 68.1% Gross profit 3,087 29.9% 2,528 31.9% 559 22.1% General, selling and administrative expenses 2,835 27.5% 2,519 31.8% 316 12.5% Operating profit 252 2.4% 9 0.1% 243 2,700.0%
Sales increased by $2.4 million, or 30.2%, over the prior year period. Sales from businesses acquired during the second and third quarters of 1995 accounted for approximately 50% of the increase. International sales of other environmental products accounted for approximately 80% of the balance of the sales increase. General, selling and administrative expenses increased by 12.5%, largely as a result of the increased staffing associated with the AMCOL INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) acquired businesses and increased marketing costs associated with international sales. The first quarter is generally the worst quarter for sales and operating profits in the environmental segment. First quarter 1996 results, while higher than the previous year quarter in both sales and operating profits, were hampered by extreme weather conditions in most of the United States, delaying customers' installations.
Quarter Ended March 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1996 1995 1996 v. 1995 ------------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------- Transportation (Dollars in Thousands) $ Change % Change --------- --------- Net sales $ 5,166 100.0% $ 5,248 100.0% $ (82) -1.6% Cost of sales 4,464 86.4% 4,605 87.7% Gross profit 702 13.6% 643 12.3% 59 9.2% General, selling and administrative expenses 433 8.4% 387 7.4% 46 11.9% Operating profit 269 5.2% 256 4.9% 13 5.1%
General, selling and administrative expenses increased as a result of higher staffing of the brokerage operation. Higher brokerage margins offset the increased costs. Rapidly rising fuel costs are likely to have an adverse impact on the transportation operation margins beginning in the second quarter 1996. Fuel surcharges may be implemented, but are unlikely to absorb the full impact of the increased costs.
Quarter Ended March 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1996 1995 1996 v. 1995 ------------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------- Corporate (Dollars in Thousands) $ Change % Change --------- -------- General, selling and administrative expenses $ 2,155 $ 1,582 $ 573 36.2% Operating loss ( 2,155) (1,582) (573) 36.2%
Corporate costs include management information systems, human resources, investor relations and corporate communications, corporate finance, and corporate governance costs. The start-up of the nanocomposite business is also included in the corporate costs. The increase in costs is primarily attributable to the development and market launch of the Company's nanocomposite technology. AMCOL INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding debt of $122.0 million (including both long and short term debt) and cash of $3.5 million compared with $121.1 million in debt and $1.9 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1995. The long-term debt to total capitalization at March 31, 1996 was 43.2% compared with 42.9% at December 31, 1995. The Company had a current ratio of 3.34 to 1 at March 31, 1996 with approximately $89.4 million in working capital compared with 3.52 to 1 and $90.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 1995. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company paid dividends of $1.3 million, and acquired property plant and equipment totaling $8.6 million. These expenditures were funded from operations and from the sale of certain of its mineral reserves. The proceeds from the sale of these minerals were $2.7 million. The Company had $43.2 million in usused, committed credit lines at March 31, 1996. These credit facilities are adequate to fund the capital expenditure program approved by the Board of Directors at this time. Management continues to explore other growth prospects in the environmental and international minerals sectors, as well as yet further expansion in the polymer segment.
