No revolver principal payments are required until the line matures on August 31, 1998. At March 30, 1996 the Company had available $35.5 million of borrowing capability under the revolver facility. 5 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations The Company experienced 7 percent sales growth the first quarter of 1996, which was reasonable considering the 22 percent sales growth experienced the first quarter of 1995. Sales increased to $59.1 million the first quarter of 1996, compared to $55.5 million the first quarter of last year. Operating income increased to $8.9 million for the quarter compared to $8.8 million the first quarter of last year. Net income was $5.2 million or $0.42 per share the first quarter of 1996 compared to $5.0 million or $0.40 per share the first quarter 1995. Cash flow from operations was $5.9 million the first quarter 1996. The Company. repurchased 183,000 shares for $6.0 million the first quarter of 1996. As a result, long term debt increased $1.9 million in the quarter. The long term debt to equity ratio was 0.4 to 1 at March 30, 1996 compared to 0.4 to 1 at year end 1995 and 0.5 to 1 at March 31, 1995. First Quarter, 1996 Littelfuse enjoyed a sales increase of 7 percent to $59.1 million this year from $55.5 million last year. The gross margin was 40.8 percent this year compared to 41.0 percent last year. Operating income decreased to 15.0 percent of sales the first quarter this year compared to 15.8 percent last year and income before taxes was unchanged at 13.8 percent of sales the first quarter of both years. Net income increased 5 percent to $5.2 million this year compared to $5.0 million last year. First quarter 1996 sales grew $3.6 million compared to the same quarter last year. Strong automotive OEM and aftermarket sales spurred 4 percent sales growth in North America. Sales grew 7 percent in local currency and 7 percent in dollars in the European Community based upon strong automotive OEM sales. Electronics sales, including our new joint venture in Korea, spurred 16 percent sales growth in the Far East. Electronic sales grew to $27.1 million in the first quarter 1996 from $26.6 million the same quarter of last year for an increase of $0.5 million or 2 percent. Sales were particularly strong in Japan, flat in North America, and down in Europe and Southeast Asia. Sales of personal computer and related accessories and products showed the greatest year over year decrease. Automotive sales grew to $24.0 million in the first quarter 1996 from $21.1 million the same quarter last year for an increase of $2.8 million or 13 percent. Worldwide automotive OEM and North America aftermarket businesses were very strong. Power fuse sales grew to $8.1 million in the first quarter 1996 from $7.7 million the same quarter last year for an increase of $0.4 million or 5 percent. The Company continues to improve its market share in this segment, despite the weather related slowdown in commercial and industrial construction. 6 Gross profit was $24.1 million or 40.8 percent of sales for the first quarter 1996 compared to $22.8 million or 41.0 percent last year. The slight decrease resulted from startup costs in China and assimilation costs of the Korean joint venture exceeding improvements in the North American and European margins. North American margins improved due to favorable product mix in the auto and electronics segments. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.5 million or 22.8 percent of sales for the first quarter 1996, compared to $12.4 million or 22.3 percent of sales for the same quarter last year. Selling expenses accounted for approximately two-thirds of the expenses both quarters. The S,G&A expenses as a percent of sales are holding relatively steady despite greater investment in research and development, foreign sales effort, and the implementation of new systems. The amortization of the reorganization value and other intangibles was 3.0 percent of sales for the first quarter of both years. Total S,G&A expenses, including intangibles amortization, were 25.8 percent of sales the first quarter 1996 compared to 25.3 percent the same quarter last year. Operating income was a record $8.9 million or 15.0 percent of sales for the first quarter 1996 compared to $8.8 million or 15.8 percent last year when sales growth was much higher. Interest expense was $1.0 million for the first quarter 1996 compared to $1.2 million last year due to lower debt levels. Other income, net, for the first quarter 1996 was $0.3 million compared to $0.1 million last year. Income before taxes was $8.2 million for the first quarter 1996 compared to $7.7 million last year. Income taxes were $2.9 million with an effective tax rate of 36 percent for the first quarter 1996 compared to $2.7 million with an effective tax rate of 35 percent the first quarter of last year. Net income for the first quarter 1996 was $5.2 million or $0.42 per share compared to $5.0 million or $0.40 per share last year. Liquidity and Capital Resources Assuming no material adverse changes in market conditions or interest rates, management expects that the Company will have sufficient cash from operations to support both its operations and its current debt obligations for the foreseeable future. Littelfuse started the 1996 year with $1.3 million of cash. Net cash provided by operations was $5.9 million for the first three months. Cash used to invest in property, plant and equipment was $2.7 million. Cash used to repurchase stock and long term debt repayment net was $1.9 million. The net of cash provided, less investing activities and financing activities, resulted in a reduction in cash of $0.5 million. This left the Company with a cash balance of approximately $0.8 million at March 30, 1996. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.5 to 1 at the end of the first quarter 1996 compared to 1.4 to 1 at year end 1995 and 1.5 to 1 at the end of the first quarter 1995. The days sales in receivables was approximately 55 days at the end of the first 7 quarter 1996 compared to 52 days at year end 1995 and 53 days at first quarter end 1995 due to the higher foreign sales which have longer standard terms. The inventory turnover rate was approximately 4.6 turns at first quarter end 1996 compared to 4.1 turns at year end 1995 and 4.8 turns at first quarter end 1995. The Company's capital expenditures were $2.7 million for the first quarter 1996. The Company expects that capital expenditures, which will be primarily for new machinery and equipment, will be approximately $17.5 million in 1996. The ratio of long term debt to equity was 0.4 to 1 at the end of the first quarter 1996 compared to 0.4 to 1 at year end 1995 and 0.5 to 1 at the end of the first quarter of 1995. The improvement in the debt to equity ratio is due primarily to the lower debt and increased retained earnings. The long term debt at the end of the first quarter 1996 consisted of five types totaling $52.8 million. They are as follows: (1) private placement notes totaling $45.0 million, (2) bank revolver facility totaling $5.1 million, (3) notes payable relating to income taxes totaling $1.0 million, (4) notes payable relating to an agreement not to compete totaling $1.4 million, and (5) mortgages totaling $0.3 million. These five items include $10.0 million of the bank revolver plus the tax notes and mortgage notes, which are considered to be current liabilities. This leaves net long term debt totaling $42.7 million at March 30, 1996. The private placement notes carry an interest rate of 6.31%. The Company had available at March 30, 1996, a revolver facility of $35.5 million. The bank revolver loan notes carry an interest rate of prime or LIBOR plus 0.625%, which currently is approximately 6.1%. The Company also has a $3.0 million letter of credit facility of which approximately $1.7 million was being used at March 30, 1996. On April 26, 1996, the Company amended and restated its bank Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the revolving credit facility to $65,000,000 and to extend the maturity to August 31, 2000. On April 3, 1996, the Company repurchased 665,500 of its outstanding warrants for approximately $16.4 million. On April 26, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase by the Company, during the period ending April 26, 1997, of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock or up to 1,000,000 of the Company's outstanding warrants, or any combination thereof not exceeding 1,000,000.
