CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Forward-Looking Statements

Management may from time-to-time make written or oral forward-looking statements with respect to the Company’s annual or long-term goals, including statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, Reports on Form 8-K, and reports to shareholders. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those currently anticipated or projected. Management cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any of the Company’s forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “could,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that involve risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:

 

Management’s belief that the outcome of legal proceedings or claims which are pending or known to be threatened will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations;

 

Management’s belief that gross margin may increase in future periods as a result of growth in ancillary billing services in the Elder Care Business;

 

Management’s belief that the Company’s global sourcing strategy is expected to improve its cost competitiveness and increase its gross margins on certain products;

 

Management’s expectation that the settlement of the appeal related to the Internal Revenue Services’ audits of the federal income tax returns for the fiscal years 2002 and 2003 will occur during fiscal year 2007 and will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations;

 

Management’s expectation to continue to make strategic business acquisitions in order to increase revenues and market share;

 

Management’s expectation that cash flows from operations during fiscal year 2007 will fund future working capital needs, capital expenditures, and other investing and financing activities, excluding business combinations;

 

Management’s expectation that the overall growth in the business will be funded through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under the revolving line of credit, capital markets, and/or other financing arrangements;

 

Management’s belief that the Company may seek to retire a portion of its outstanding equity through cash purchases and/or reduce its debt and may also seek to issue additional debt or equity to meet its future liquidity requirements;

 

Management’s intent to either renegotiate existing building leases or execute new leases upon the expiration date of such agreements; and

 

Management’s belief that the remaining state NOL carryforwards will be utilized during fiscal year 2007;

In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, management is identifying important factors that could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements about the Company’s goals or expectations. The Company’s future results could be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including those discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s 2006 Form 10-K. In addition, all forward-looking statements are qualified by and should be read in conjunction with the risks described or referred to in Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Company’s 2006 Form 10-K.

JUNE 30, 2006 AND JULY 1, 2005

(UNAUDITED)

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data, Unless Otherwise Noted)

 

1.

BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the consolidated accounts of PSS World Medical, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries as well as a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The financial statements and related notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

The Company reports its year-end financial position, results of operations, and cash flows on the Friday closest to March 31. Fiscal years 2007 and 2006 consist of 52 weeks or 253 selling days. The Company reports its quarter-end financial position, results of operations, and cash flows on the Friday closest to month-end. The three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 consisted of 64 selling days.

The results of operations for the interim periods covered by this report may not be indicative of operating results for the full fiscal year or any other interim periods.

Stock Repurchase Program

On June 8, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company, depending upon market conditions and other factors, to repurchase up to a maximum of 5% of its common stock, or approximately 3.2 million common shares, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. During fiscal year 2005, the Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock under this program at an average price of $9.91 per common share for approximately $9,918. At June 30, 2006, approximately 2.2 million shares were available to repurchase under this program.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 05-1, Accounting for the Conversion of an Instrument That Became Convertible upon the Issuer’s Exercise of a Call Option (“EITF 05-1”). EITF 05-1 requires that the issuance of equity securities to settle a debt instrument that would not otherwise be convertible, but would become convertible upon the issuer’s exercise of a call option be accounted for as a debt conversion, if the debt contained a substantive conversion feature as of its issuance date. Under this accounting treatment, no gain or loss is recognized related to the equity securities issued to settle the debt instrument. Absent this substantive conversion feature, the issuance would be accounted for as a debt extinguishment, where the fair value of the equity securities issued would be considered a component of the reacquisition price of the debt. The provisions of EITF 05-01 are effective for all conversions that result from the exercise of call options in interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 28, 2006. However, under the terms of the Company’s 2.25% convertible senior notes indenture, the Company may only call its debt anytime on or after March 19, 2009. Upon exercise of this call option, the notes become convertible, at the option of the holder, even if the notes were not otherwise convertible. Upon conversion, the Company has the right to deliver, in lieu of common stock, cash or a combination of cash and common stock. The Company’s stated policy is to satisfy the Company’s obligation upon a conversion of the notes first, in cash, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the notes converted and second, in shares of the Company’s common stock, to satisfy the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation. If such an election were made, there would be no accounting impact as a result of EITF 05-1 for the principal amount of the notes. The provisions of EITF 05-01 would apply, however, to any portion of the debt that would be settled through the issuance of common stock.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, and Related Implementation Issues (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective as of the beginning of fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of implementing this new standard.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per share are presented in accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock using the treasury stock method and the conversion of the convertible senior notes. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an antidilutive effect.

The following table sets forth computational data for the denominator in the basic and diluted earnings per common share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 (share amounts in thousands, except per share data):

(a) Options to purchase approximately 416 and 1,617 shares of common stock that were outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for each of the respective periods because the options’ exercise prices exceeded the average fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

 

 

In accordance with EITF Issue No. 04-8, The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings Per Share (“EITF 04-8”) and the Company’s stated policy to settle the principal amount of the convertible notes in cash, the Company is not required to include any shares underlying the convertible notes in its diluted weighted average shares outstanding until the average stock price per share for the period exceeds the $17.10 (conversion price for the convertible senior notes). At such time, only the number of shares that would be issuable (under the treasury stock method of accounting for share dilution) are included, which is based upon the amount by which the average stock price exceeds the conversion price. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, the average stock price exceeded the conversion price. As such, 496 shares of common stock were included in the calculation of dilutive weighted average shares.

The ratification of SFAS No. 128(R), Earnings Per Share, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 128 (“SFAS 128(R)”) may further impact the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. If ratified, SFAS 128(R) would eliminate the provisions of SFAS 128 that allows an entity to rebut the presumption that contracts with the option of settling in either cash or stock will be settled in stock. Therefore, SFAS 128(R) may eliminate the Company’s ability to rely upon its stated policy to settle the principal amount of the Company’s convertible senior notes in cash. If SFAS 128(R) becomes effective, earnings per share will be calculated under the “if-converted” method. Under this method, the number of diluted weighted average shares outstanding will include approximately 8.8 million shares and earnings used to calculate diluted earnings per share would increase approximately $2.7 million (after tax) annually for the add-back of interest expense on the convertible senior notes. The Company may at its discretion elect to settle the principal amount of its convertible senior notes in cash in accordance with the terms of the indenture. If such election is made by giving notice to bondholders, a range of approximately 0 to

 

9

 

 

1.5 million shares (refer to table below) will be included in the weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing diluted earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of EITF 04-08.

The table below discloses the effect of increases in the Company’s stock price on the amount of shares to be included in the earnings per share calculation using the treasury stock method in accordance with EITF 04-8. The market price of the Company’s common stock must be at or above $20.51 (market trigger price) for at least 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days in order for holders to exercise their conversion rights. The table assumes normal conversion for the convertible senior notes based on the Company’s stated policy in which the principal amount will be paid in cash, and the excess up to the conversion value will be paid in shares of the Company’s stock as follows (share amounts in thousands).

The table above also discloses the effect of increases in the Company’s stock price on the amount of shares to be included in the earnings per share calculation in accordance with SFAS 128(R), if adopted, only if the Company gives notice to the bondholders that the principal amount of the notes will be paid in cash, and the excess up to the conversion value will be paid in shares of the Company’s stock.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has stock incentive plans for the benefit of certain officers, directors, and employees. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has discretion to make grants under these plans in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance units, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, or other rights or interests relating to common stock or cash.

 

10

 

The Company primarily issues the following three categories of stock-based awards: restricted stock, deferred stock units, and stock options. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”) on April 1, 2006, stock-based awards were accounted for using the intrinsic-value recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. The intrinsic value method of accounting resulted in compensation expense to the extent option exercise prices were set below the current market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense was not previously recognized in net income, as all stock options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant.

Outstanding stock-based awards were as follows:

(b)   Amounts are included in shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the face of the balance sheet, but are excluded from equity until date of vest under SFAS 123(R).

 

Stock Options

Prior to fiscal year 2005, the Company primarily awarded stock options under the stock incentive plans, which did not require compensation expense to be recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, as the Company adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS 123. Options were granted for the purchase of shares of common stock at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 1999 Broad-Based Employee Stock Plan were fully vested and exercisable three years from the date of grant. Options granted under the Amended and Restated Directors’ Stock Plan, the 1994 Long-Term Stock Plan, and the Amended and Restated 1994 Long-Term Incentive Plan were fully vested and exercisable at the date of grant. Outstanding stock options have a term of 5 years or 10 years. It is the Company’s policy to issue shares of stock from those shares reserved for issuance under the stock incentive plans upon exercise of stock options.

On June 7, 2004, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an amendment to all outstanding stock options granted to employees. This amendment accelerated the vesting of all unvested stock options outstanding as of April 1, 2005, which was prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R). The Company took this action to reduce compensation expense in future periods in light of SFAS 123(R), which was effective for the Company on April 1, 2006. Under SFAS 123(R), the Company estimated that a compensation charge of approximately $2,833, net of tax, would have been recorded in future periods if the vesting of the stock options were not accelerated. As a result of the acceleration, the Company recognized contingent compensation expense equal to the difference between the fair market value of the common stock on the modification date and the option exercise price for the estimated number of options that, absent the acceleration, would have expired unexercisable as a result of the termination of the holders’ employment prior to the original vesting dates of the options. As of June 30, 2006, the maximum stock-based compensation expense would be approximately $1,098 if all holders benefited from this amendment with respect to outstanding options. Since June 7, 2004, the date the options were modified, the Company has estimated and recognized compensation expense of approximately $206 based on its historical option forfeiture rate. This liability may be adjusted in future periods based on actual experience and changes in management assumptions.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 was $3,273 and $1,373, respectively. Cash received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 was approximately $2,510 and $2,183, respectively, and was recognized as a cash inflow from financing activities in the accompanying statements of cash flows. Tax benefits associated with these exercises were approximately $1,223 and $482 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively. Additionally, due to the Company’s use of restricted stock as employee equity compensation, there were no stock options granted under the incentive plans in either period.

Restricted Stock

During fiscal years 2005 and 2006, the Company primarily used restricted stock for employee equity compensation. Upon issuance of restricted stock prior to fiscal year 2007, unearned compensation was charged to shareholders’ equity for the market value of the restricted stock, with stock-based compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting period, generally three years. To the extent restricted stock was forfeited prior to vesting, the previously recognized expense was reversed as a

 

12

 

 

reduction to stock-based compensation expense on the forfeiture date. Under SFAS 123(R), however, compensation expense is recognized for all equity-based awards net of estimated forfeitures over the awards’ vesting period. To comply with the forfeiture provisions of SFAS 123(R), the Company recorded a reduction of approximately $152 of compensation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2006. Total compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, was approximately $189, and $190, respectively. The amount of related income tax benefits recognized in income during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 was $72 for both periods. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, the Company classified equity-based compensation expense within general and administrative expenses to correspond with the same line item as the cash compensation paid to employees.

2.25% Convertible Senior Notes

During fiscal year 2004, the Company issued $150 million principal amount of 2.25% convertible senior notes, which mature on March 15, 2024. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. Contingent interest is also payable during any six-month interest period, beginning with the six-month interest period commencing on March 15, 2009, if the average trading price of the notes for the five trading days ending on the second trading day immediately preceding such six-month interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the notes. The amount of contingent interest payable per note in respect of any six-month interest period is equal to 0.25% of the average trading price of a note for the trading period referenced above.

Revolving Line of Credit

The Company maintains an asset-based revolving line of credit by and among the Company, as borrower thereunder (the “Borrower”), the subsidiaries of the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”), as agent for the Lenders (the “Credit Agreement”), which permits maximum borrowings of up to $200 million, which may be increased to $250 million at the Company’s discretion, and matures on June 30, 2010. Availability of borrowings (“Availability”) depends upon a borrowing base calculation consisting of accounts receivable and inventory, subject to satisfaction of certain eligibility requirements less any outstanding letters of credit. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit bear interest at the Bank’s prime rate plus an applicable margin based on Availability, or at LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on Availability. Additionally, the Credit Agreement bears interest at a fixed rate of 0.25% for any unused portion of the facility. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on (i) paying dividends and repurchasing stock, (ii) selling or transferring assets, (iii) making certain investments including acquisitions, (iv) incurring additional indebtedness and liens, and (v) annual capital expenditures. However, these covenants may not apply if the Company maintains sufficient Availability under the credit facility. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are anticipated to fund future requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and the issuance of letters of credit. Although the Credit Agreement expires on June 30, 2010, the revolving line of credit is classified as a current liability in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 95-22, Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements That Include both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box Arrangement. The Company is not obligated to repay or refinance amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit until June 30, 2010.

There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit at June 30, 2006 or March 31, 2006. After reducing availability for outstanding borrowings and letter of credit commitments, the Company had sufficient assets based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory to borrow up to $200.0 million (excluding the additional increase of $50 million) under the revolving line of credit. The average daily interest rate, excluding debt issuance costs and unused line fees, for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and July 1, 2005, was 7.63% and 4.25%, respectively.

 

14

 

 

 

During fiscal year 2004, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that matured on March 28, 2006. The purpose of this swap agreement was to hedge the variable interest rate of its revolving line of credit. The notional amount of the swap originally was $35 million and was reduced to $25 million on July 19, 2004. The interest rate swap effectively fixed the interest rate on a portion of the revolving line of credit to 2.195%, plus an applicable margin as determined by the Credit Agreement. This interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, and SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Therefore, changes in fair value were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company made monthly payments based on the fixed rate and received interest payments based on 1-month LIBOR. The changes in market value of this financial instrument were highly correlated with changes in market value of the hedged item both at inception and over the life of the agreement. Amounts received or paid under the interest rate swap agreement were recorded as reductions or additions to interest expense. During the three months ended July 1, 2005, the Company recorded an unrealized loss, net of related tax effects, for the estimated fair value of the swap agreement in accumulated other comprehensive income of $45. Due to the maturity of the swap agreement on March 28,2006, there were no unrealized gains or losses related to the interest rate swap for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Capital Lease Obligations

The Company leases various equipment under thirty-nine month leases with an aggregate annual rental of approximately $564. The equipment was capitalized at its fair market value of $1,672, which approximated the present value of the minimum lease payments. The following table represents the remaining future minimum lease payments under capital leases by year, together with the present value of the net minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2006.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic businesses that offer different products to different segments of the healthcare industry, and are the basis on which management regularly evaluates the Company. These segments are managed separately because of different customers and products. The Company primarily evaluates the operating performance of its segments based on net sales and income from operations. The Company’s third reportable segment, Corporate Shared Services, allocates amounts to the two operating segments for shared departmental operating costs and intercompany interest expense. The allocation of shared departmental operating costs is generally proportional to the revenues of each operating segment. Intercompany interest is allocated based on (i) an internally calculated carrying value of historical capital used to acquire or develop the operating segments’ operations and (ii) budgeted operating cash flow. The following tables present financial information about the Company’s business segments:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is party to various legal and administrative proceedings and claims arising in the normal course of business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, the Company, after consultation with outside legal counsel, believes that the outcome of such other proceedings or claims which are pending or known to be threatened will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

The Company has various insurance policies, including product liability insurance, covering risks and in amounts it considers adequate. In many cases in which the Company has been sued in connection with products manufactured by others, the Company has been provided indemnification by the manufacturer. There can be no assurance that the insurance coverage maintained by the Company is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost, or that indemnification agreements will provide adequate protection for the Company.

Purchase Commitments

During July 2003, the Physician Business entered into a five year agreement with a supplier to purchase a minimum number of doses of influenza vaccines during fiscal years 2004-2008. The pricing of the doses of the vaccine is established on December 1 of each year. The Company must notify the supplier, annually by December 15, of any reductions in the number of doses to be purchased. During fiscal year 2006, the Company notified Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics (formerly Chiron Corporation), that it would purchase doses of influenza vaccines valued at approximately $46,078 during fiscal year 2007. This obligation is contingent on the supplier’s ability to deliver the influenza vaccines by October 31, 2006.

During February 2006, the Company entered into three agreements with three different suppliers to purchase a minimum number of latex and vinyl gloves through January 31, 2008. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company terminated one agreement; therefore, the Company has no further purchase commitment under the agreement. The pricing of the latex gloves may be periodically adjusted and is based on the price of raw wet latex as traded on the Malaysian Rubber Exchange. The pricing of the vinyl gloves may also be periodically adjusted and is based on the weighted price of two raw materials, Poly vinyl chloride (PVC) and Dioctylphthalate (DOP), as published on www.icis.com. These purchase commitments are valued at approximately $27,580 at June 30, 2006 and are based on management’s estimate of current pricing.

Variable Interest Entity

In January 2005, the Company entered into a Sourcing Services Agreement (the “Sourcing Agreement”) with Tiger Specialty Sourcing Limited, Tiger Shanghai Specialty Sourcing Co. Ltd., and its principals (collectively “Tiger Medical”). The exclusive Sourcing Agreement focuses on two primary objectives: delivery of consistent, high-quality medical products and lowering the acquisition cost of those products. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sourcing Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase certain medical and other products from Chinese suppliers and manufacturers using the exclusive sourcing services of Tiger Medical. Pursuant to the terms of the Sourcing Agreement, the Company acquired a minority interest in Tiger Medical in January 2005 for $1.0 million. The Company ultimately has the right to increase its ownership interest in Tiger Medical to 100% during fiscal years 2007 through 2009 if certain performance targets are achieved. If at any time during the term of the Sourcing Agreement, the Company achieves the agreed-upon cost of goods savings target in any twelve-month period prior to achieving the agreed-upon sales target, then either party has the right to trigger an early buy-out of Tiger Medical by the Company. The total purchase price to be paid by the Company for 100% ownership of Tiger Medical ranges between $1.0 million and $32.5 million and depends on the satisfaction of certain performance targets. Cash payments made by the Company during fiscal years 2007 through 2008 for additional interests in Tiger Medical will be credited against the final purchase price to be paid by the Company.

Commitments and Other Contingencies

The Company has employment agreements with certain executive officers, which provide that in the event of their termination or resignation, under certain conditions, the Company may be required to pay severance to the executive officers in amounts ranging from one-fourth to two times their base salary and target annual bonus. In the event that a termination or resignation follows or is in connection with a change in control, the Company may be required to pay severance to the executive officers in amounts ranging from three-fourths to three times their base salary and target annual bonus. The Company may also be required to continue welfare benefit plan coverage for the executive officers following a termination or resignation for a period ranging from three months to three years.

If the Physician Business or the Elder Care Business were to terminate a contract with a private label vendor for any reason, the Company may be required to purchase the remaining inventory of private label products from the vendor, provided that, in no event would the Company be required to purchase quantities of such products which exceed the aggregate amount of such products ordered by the Company in a negotiated time period immediately preceding the date of termination. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has not terminated any contracts with a private label vendor that required the Company to purchase the vendor’s remaining private label inventory.

PURCHASE BUSINESS COMBINATION

On October 7, 2004, the Elder Care Business acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of a long-term care medical supply distributor and ancillary billing service provider. The aggregate purchase price, which was subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the purchase agreement, was approximately $26,830 (net of cash acquired) of which approximately $22,682 was paid during fiscal year 2005. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, a cash payment of approximately $4,148 was made to the seller during the three months ended July 1, 2005 as certain minimum revenue thresholds were met in future periods.

 

9.

NOTES RECEIVABLE

The Company has two notes receivable (the “Loans”) outstanding from its former chairman and chief executive officer, which bear interest at the applicable Federal rate for long-term obligations. One Loan is unsecured and the other Loan is secured by a split-dollar life insurance policy. During fiscal year 2003, as part of the Company’s ongoing review of the realization of the Loans, the Company determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,939 was required on the unsecured Loan. Subsequently, during the three months ended July 1, 2005, the Company determined that the allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,939, or $1,825 net of income taxes, was no longer required for the unsecured loan. The Company received a cash interest payment of $128 and $279 on June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, there were no past due principal or interest payments outstanding under the Loans.

 

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE COMPANY

PSS World Medical, Inc. (the “Company” or “PSSI”), a Florida corporation which began operations in 1983, is a national distributor of medical products, equipment, and pharmaceutical related products to alternate-site healthcare providers including physician offices, long-term care and assisted living facilities, and home care providers through 42 full-service distribution centers, which serve all 50 states throughout the United States. The Company currently conducts business through two operating segments, the Physician Business and the Elder Care Business. These strategic segments serve a diverse customer base.

PSSI is a leader in the two market segments it serves as a result of value-added, solution-based marketing programs; a customer differentiated distribution and service model; a consultative sales force with extensive product, disease state, reimbursement, and supply chain knowledge; unique arrangements with product manufacturers; innovative information systems and technology that serve its core markets; innovative marketing programs; and a culture of performance. The Company is focused on improving business operations and management processes, maximizing its core distribution capability and efficiency, and developing and implementing innovative marketing strategies. In addition, the Company acquired two companies during fiscal year 2006 to broaden its reach and leverage its infrastructure and may continue to make acquisitions in the future.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company continued to grow in the markets it serves. Overall, comparative quarterly sales grew by 6.8% at the consolidated level. Certain events during the last fiscal year impacted sales growth within our operating segments. During fiscal year 2006, the Elder Care business discontinued business with two customers, which had generated approximately $12.1 million of sales during the first quarter of the prior year. In addition, the acquisition of Southern Anesthesia and Surgical (“SAS”) by the Physician Business at the end of the second quarter of last year provided an additional $11.7 million of first quarter sales over the prior year period.

 

18

 

Gross profit and operating income increased by $9.4 million and $4.4 million primarily due to sales growth. Global sourcing initiatives, other purchasing efficiencies, and continued leveraging of the distribution and corporate shared services infrastructure contributed to additional incremental profit expansion.

Liquidity and capital resource performance continues to be in line with management’s expectations. As of the end of the quarter, the Company had $200.0 million available on its revolving line of credit. Continued improvement in the quality of accounts receivables was reflected in the reduction of past due accounts and other performance metrics. Operating cash flow for the quarter was approximately $4.0 million, which includes the effect of additional inventory investments to support strategic initiatives, which required payment in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.

The Company completed the integration of distribution operations related to the acquisition of SAS, for the sale and distribution of non-controlled pharmaceutical products. SAS will continue to distribute controlled pharmaceutical and medical supply products from the existing SAS facility to the specialty markets it has historically served, and, in addition, the Company has initiated the training of its physician business sales force on the sale of controlled pharmaceutical products and will launch marketing programs for these products to the physician market in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007.

Additionally, net sales quarter over quarter were positively impacted by the acquisition of SAS on September 30, 2005, which added approximately $11.7 million of incremental net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2006.

The following table summarizes the growth rate in product sales quarter over quarter.

The Physician Business’ sales mix changed quarter over quarter due to management’s focus on growing pharmaceutical product sales through the Rx Extreme revenue growth program and the acquisition of SAS, a company that primarily distributes controlled and non-controlled pharmaceutical products. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, SAS contributed approximately $4.5 million and $7.2 million to branded product and pharmaceutical sales, respectively. Pharmaceutical product sales during the quarter were also impacted by customers converting from branded to generic products, which typically have a lower sales price, but higher gross margin than branded products.

Elder Care Business

The decline in net sales is primarily a result of the discontinuation of service to two large national chain customers, partially offset by increased sales to hospice and homecare agencies. Net sales quarter over quarter decreased approximately $12.1 million as a result of the loss of these national chain customers, partially offset by $3.2 million in sales growth from hospice and homecare agencies, reflecting traction in the execution of the Company’s business strategies. These strategies include diversifying the segment’s customer base through expansion into hospices and home care agencies. In addition, net sales were also impacted by the continued utilization of its innovative Elder Care customer specific solution programs such as ANSWERS Plus, Partners in Efficiency (“P.I.E.”), Fast Accurate Supply Technology (“F.A.S.T”), and AccuSCAN. The following table summarizes the rate of change in net sales by customer segment period over period.

Gross profit dollars increased primarily due to the growth in net sales discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased approximately 10 basis points quarter over quarter, primarily due to purchasing efficiencies complimented by the implementation of the Company’s global sourcing strategy, which is designed to improve cost competitiveness and increase gross margins on certain products. These margin enhancements were partially offset by changes in the product mix discussed above.

Elder Care Business

While gross profit dollars decreased primarily due to the decline in net sales discussed above, gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased 90 basis points. This increase was primarily due to a change in the segment’s sales mix from sales with larger, lower margin accounts to sales with smaller, higher margin accounts. In addition, ancillary billing service revenues increased by 6.8%, which typically generate higher gross profit margins.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 40 basis points quarter over quarter. This improvement is attributable to (i) leveraging the net sales growth across various fixed costs, and (ii) optimizing customer delivery routes and shipments between distribution centers.

Other general and administrative expenses increased quarter over quarter primarily due to (i) increased salary, incentive compensation, and payroll tax expenses of approximately $1.3 million due to investments in additional sales and marketing employees and general wage increases, (ii) increased amortization of intangible assets of approximately $0.3 million as a result of the acquisition consummated during the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, and (iii) increased bank service charges of approximately $0.3 million related to an increase in payments made via credit cards by the Company’s customers.

Elder Care Business

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 40 basis points quarter over quarter. This improvement is primarily related to (i) a decrease in bad debt expense of approximately $2.1 million as a result of successful collections of previously reserved accounts and continued improvements in our collection effort and aging of accounts receivable, and (ii) warehouse efficiencies from process improvements of approximately $0.4 million, partially offset by (iii) an increase in depreciation expense of approximately $0.6 million primarily related to the conversion to the JD Edwards enterprise resource planning system in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006.

Corporate Shared Services

General and administrative expenses increased $1.4 million quarter over quarter. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company reversed the allowance for doubtful accounts approximately $2.9 million related to an outstanding note receivable from the former chairman and chief executive officer of the Company. Excluding this reversal, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $1.5 million during the three months ended July 1, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in legal fees of approximately $1.5 million associated with the class action lawsuit that was settled during fiscal year 2006.

Overall, the change in selling expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in commission expense due to the growth in net sales discussed above. Commissions are generally paid to sales representatives based on gross profit dollars and gross profit as a percentage of net sales.

Physician Business

Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased approximately 30 basis points, which is primarily attributable to leveraging net sales growth across certain fixed selling expenses. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Physician Business launched a promotional incentive program for Select Medical Products, the Company’s private label brand. Additionally, the Physician Business introduced a new Rx Field Sales Specialist team to further support the pharmaceutical line of business. Both of these events increased selling expenses quarter over quarter.

Elder Care Business

Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales were unchanged quarter over quarter.

INTEREST EXPENSE

The Company’s debt structure consists of $150 million of 2.25% senior convertible notes and variable rate borrowings under its revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement. The following table summarizes the various components of the Company’s debt structure:

(a) Weighted average interest rate excludes debt issuance costs and unused line fees.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the borrowings under the Company’s LOC were affected by market interest rate increases resulting from actions by the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Board. In prior periods, the Company mitigated the effect of these increases through a $25 million variable-to-fixed interest rate swap. The interest rate swap matured on March 28, 2006, effectively returning 100% of borrowings under the LOC to a variable rate. Upon maturity, the company paid down the entire $25 million of borrowings covered by the notional amount of the interest rate swap.

The Company uses its LOC for short-term borrowings to fund working capital requirements, and had average outstanding borrowings of $4.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. As a result of the short-term nature of these borrowings as well as the maturity of the interest rate swap, the weighted average interest rate on borrowing under the LOC increased from 4.0% for the three months ended June 30 2005 to 7.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

The increase in the provision for income taxes is primarily attributable to an increase in the projected annual income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes.

During the three months ended December 31, 2004, the IRS completed fieldwork on the audit of the Federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended March 29, 2002 and March 28, 2003. The Company has appealed certain findings, which primarily related to timing of tax deductions, with the Appeals Office of the IRS. Management does not anticipate the results of the audit to have a material impact on the financial condition or consolidated results of operations of the Company.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

The primary components of net cash provided by operating activities consist of net income adjusted to reflect the effect of non-cash expenses and changes in operational working capital. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2006 was impacted by an increase in overall operating profits as well as operational working capital needs of approximately $11.3 million. Included within the increase in operational working capital is a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $16.8 million, partially due to inventory purchases in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 to support the company’s marketing programs. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended July 1, 2005 was impacted by an increase in overall operating profit which was partially offset by operational working capital needs to support net sales growth.

Cash flows from operating activities during three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 include the Company’s utilization of $4.2 million (tax-effected) and $5.3 million (tax-effected), respectively, of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards (primarily generated during fiscal year 2003 as a result of the disposition of the Imaging Business) to offset cash payments due for Federal and state tax liabilities based on estimated taxable income. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has $2.2 million (tax-effected) of state NOL carryforwards remaining and expects to utilize the majority of these state NOL carryforwards during fiscal year 2007. Cash flows from operating activities were also impacted by cash payments made or refunds received for Federal and state taxes.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.0million and $9.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively, and was primarily impacted by the following:

 

Payments for business combinations, net of cash acquired, were $0.1 million and $4.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively. During fiscal year 2005, the Elder Care Business acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of a long-term care medical supply distributor and ancillary billing service provider. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $26.9 million (net of cash acquired of approximately $0.4 million) of which approximately $22.7 million was paid during fiscal year 2005. The remaining purchase price of $4.1 million, which primarily related to meeting minimum revenue thresholds, was paid during the three months ended July 1, 2005.

 

25

 

 

 

Capital expenditures totaled $4.6 million and $4.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, of which approximately $3.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, related to development and enhancement of the Company’s ERP system, electronic commerce platforms, and supply chain integration. Capital expenditures related to distribution center expansions as a result of the Company’s revenue growth were approximately $0.4 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively.

 

The Company paid approximately $0.5 million to sales representatives for the execution of nonsolicitation agreements during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $2.4 million during the three months ended July 1, 2005. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 was primarily impacted by the following:

 

Proceeds received from the exercise of stock options were approximately $2.5 million and $2.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively.

 

The Company received a $1.5 million refund for a security deposit paid in previous years to obtain financing for an operating lease.

Capital Resources

The Company’s two primary sources of capital are the proceeds from the 2.25% convertible senior notes offering and the $200.0 million revolving line of credit, which may be increased to $250.0 million at the Company’s discretion. These instruments provide the financial resources to support the business strategies of customer service and revenue growth. The revolving line of credit, which is an asset-based agreement, uses the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory as collateral to support necessary liquidity. The Company’s long-term priorities for use of capital are internal growth, acquisitions, and repurchase of the Company’s common stock.

The 2.25% convertible senior notes may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock prior to March 15, 2019, during any calendar quarter that the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days ending the day prior to such quarter is greater than 120% of the applicable conversion price of $17.10 per share (or $20.51 per share). At June 30, 2006, the fair value of the convertible senior notes was approximately $170.9 million and the value of the shares, if converted, was approximately $154.9 million.

At June 30, 2006, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit. After reducing the availability of borrowings for letter of credit commitments, the Company had sufficient assets based on eligible accounts receivable and inventories to borrow up to $200.0 million (excluding the additional increase of $50.0 million) under the revolving line of credit.

As the Company’s business grows, its cash and working capital requirements will also continue to increase. The Company normally meets its operating requirements by maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity under its revolving line of credit and using cash flows from operating activities. The Company expects that the overall growth in the business will be funded through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under the revolving line of credit, capital markets, and/or other financing arrangements. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has not entered into any material working capital commitments that require funding, other than the items discussed below and the obligations included in the future minimum obligation table below.

 

26

 

 

 

Based on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors, the Company may seek to retire a portion of its outstanding equity through cash purchases and/or reduce its debt. The Company may also seek to issue additional debt or equity to meet its future liquidity requirements. Such transactions may occur in the open market, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The amounts involved may be material.

Stock Repurchase Program

On June 8, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company, depending upon market conditions and other factors, to repurchase up to a maximum of 5% of its common stock, or approximately 3.2 million common shares, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. During fiscal year 2005, the Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock under this program at an average price of $9.91 per common share for approximately $9,918. At June 30, 2006, approximately 2.2 million shares were available to repurchase under this program.

Future Minimum Obligations

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into obligations and commitments that require future contractual payments.

(a)

The Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit at March 31, 2006. Management expects that cash flows from operations will fund future working capital needs, capital expenditures, and other investing and financing activities, excluding business combinations. Therefore, the amounts included in the table above represent unused line fees. Actual interest expense may differ due to changes in the level of borrowings.

 

(b)

The Company typically issues letters of credits with expirations of less than one year.

 

(c)

Amounts represent contractual obligations for operating leases of the Company as of June 30, 2006. Currently, it is management’s intent to either renegotiate existing leases or execute new leases upon the expiration date of such agreements.

 

(d)

Amounts include interest expense.

 

27

 

 

(e)

If the Physician Business or the Elder Care Business were to terminate a contract with a private label vendor for any reason, the Company may be required to purchase the remaining inventory of private label products from the vendor, provided that, in no event would the Company be required to purchase quantities of such products which exceed the aggregate amount of such products ordered by the Company in a negotiated time period immediately preceding the date of termination. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has not terminated any contracts with a private label vendor that required the Company to purchase the vendor’s remaining private label inventory.

 

(f)

During July 2003, the Physician Business entered into a five-year agreement with a supplier to purchase a minimum number of doses of influenza vaccines during fiscal years 2004-2008. The pricing of the doses of the vaccine is established on December 1 of each year. The Company must notify the supplier, annually by December 15, of any reductions in the number of doses to be purchased. During fiscal year 2006, the Company notified Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics (formerly Chiron Corporation), that it would purchase doses of the influenza vaccines valued at approximately $46.1 million during fiscal year 2007. This obligation is contingent on the supplier’s ability to deliver the influenza vaccines by October 31, 2006.

 

(g)

During February 2006, the Company entered into three agreements with three different suppliers to purchase a minimum number of latex and vinyl gloves through January 31, 2008. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company terminated one agreement due to quality issues; therefore, the Company has no further purchase commitment under the agreement. The pricing of the latex gloves may be periodically adjusted and is based on the price of raw wet latex as traded on the Malaysian Rubber Exchange. The pricing of the vinyl gloves may also be periodically adjusted and is based on the weighted price of two raw materials, Poly vinyl chloride (PVC) and Dioctylphthalate (DOP), as published on www.icis.com. These purchase commitments are valued at approximately $27.6 million at June 30, 2006 and are based on management’s estimate of current pricing.

 

(h)

Amounts represent estimated additional consideration, including interest, to be paid to the sellers of previously acquired businesses, net of any amounts payable to the Company for indemnity claims that arise under the purchase agreement.
