The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed financial statements. 5 6 ENESCO GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes included this report have been prepared by Enesco, without audit, except for the December 31, 2000 condensed balance sheet, which came from Enesco's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition for the interim periods. Reclassifications were made to the 2000 financial statements to include shipping and handling costs billed to customers in revenues. Previously, shipping and handling costs billed to customers were netted against the related costs included in cost of sales. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes to consolidated financial statements included in Enesco's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Enesco's financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2001 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the December 31, 2000 consolidated financial statements included in our 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We consider all highly liquid securities, including certificates of deposit with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Accounts receivable are stated net of reserves for uncollectible accounts, returns and allowances of $6.7 million at March 31, 2001 and $7.3 million at December 31, 2000. 6 7 Enesco recognizes revenue when title passes to its customers which generally occurs when merchandise is turned over to the shipper. A provision for anticipated merchandise returns and allowances is recorded based upon historical experience. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in revenue. License and royalty fees received by Enesco are recognized as revenue when earned. Adoption of SAB 101 "Revenue Recognition" in the fourth quarter of 2000 and EITF 00-22 "Accounting for Points and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free Products or Services to be Delivered in the Future" in the first quarter of 2001 did not affect Enesco's accounting and reporting policies. In accordance with EITF 00-10 "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs" (which was adopted in the fourth quarter 2000) Enesco classifies shipping and handling costs billed to customers as revenue and the related costs are classified as cost of sales. Revenue and cost of sales for the first quarter of 2000 were restated to include the shipping and handling costs billed to customers. Adoption of SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" on January 1, 2001 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition. Enesco paid cash for interest and taxes as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31 -------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- Interest $ 540 $ 570 Income taxes $ 76 $ 588 7 8 2. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: The other comprehensive income consists only of cumulative translation adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 was as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended March 31 -------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- Net income (loss) $(3,440) $ 164 Other comprehensive income (loss): Cumulative translation adjustments (no tax effects) (1,846) (503) -------------------- Comprehensive income (loss) $(5,286) $ (339) ====================
3. GEOGRAPHIC OPERATING SEGMENTS: Enesco operates in one industry segment, predominately in two major geographic areas (United States and International). The following tables summarizes Enesco's operations by geographic area for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31 -------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- NET SALES: United States $ 46,206 $ 56,488 United States intercompany (724) (585) International 17,549 18,014 International intercompany (286) (457) ------------------------ Total consolidated $ 62,745 $ 73,460 ======================== OPERATING PROFIT (LOSS): United States $ (5,903) $ 278 International 369 1,110 ------------------------ Total consolidated $ (5,534) $ 1,388 ======================== 8 9 Transfers between geographic areas are made at the market value of the merchandise transferred. No single customer accounted for 5% or more of consolidated net sales. Export sales to foreign unaffiliated customers represent less than 10% of consolidated net sales. There were no material changes in assets from the amount disclosed in Enesco's December 31, 2000 Annual Report and the basis of geographic area measurement of sales and operating profit did not change in 2001. 4. INVENTORY CLASSES: The major classes of inventories at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 were as follows (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2001 2000 ---- ---- Raw materials and supplies $ 639 $ 574 Work in progress 101 87 Finished goods in transit 9,115 9,483 Finished goods 50,800 50,347 ------------------------- $60,655 $60,491 ========================= 5. CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS CLOSING RESERVE: Enesco's corporate headquarters closing reserve, which was established in 1997, provided for severance and benefits payments due to terminated employees. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company made $600 thousand of payments which were charged against the corporate headquarters closing reserve. At March 31, 2001, $2.8 million remained in the reserve, the majority of which is for future severance payments. 6. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE): Other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 consists of the following (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31 -------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- Foreign currency loss $ (1) $(57) Gain (loss) on sale of fixed assets 1 (3) Miscellaneous 20 (15) ------------------- $ 20 $(75) =================== 9 10 7. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE (BASIS OF CALCULATIONS): Basic earnings per common share are based on the average number of common shares outstanding during the period covered. Diluted earnings per common share assumes, in addition to the above, a dilutive effect of common share equivalents during the period. Common share equivalents represent dilutive stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. The number of shares used in the earnings per share calculations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31 -------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- Basic Average common shares outstanding 13,637 13,506 Diluted Stock options/warrants - - --------------------- Average shares diluted 13,637 13,506 ===================== The average number of shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2001 excluded the common stock equivalents of options and warrants since the impact on the reported net loss per share was antidilutive. Inclusion of the options and warrants would have increased the average shares outstanding by 86,000. The average shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2000 did not include common stock equivalents of options since the exercise price of all options exceeded the market price during the quarter. 10 11 8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138. The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the fair value of derivatives be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows derivative gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement and requires that a company formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Enesco. Enesco operates globally with various manufacturing and distribution facilities and product sourcing locations around the world. Enesco may reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments. Enesco currently does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Enesco regularly monitors its foreign currency exposures and ensures that the hedge contract amounts do not exceed the amounts of the underlying exposures. Enesco's current hedging activity is limited to foreign currency purchases and intercompany foreign currency transactions. The purpose of Enesco's foreign currency hedging activities is to protect Enesco from the risk that the eventual settlement of foreign currency transactions will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. Enesco hedges these exposures by entering into various short-term foreign exchange forward contracts. Under SFAS No. 133, the instruments are carried at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a component of other current assets or other current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts that meet the applicable hedging criteria of SFAS No. 133 are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of foreign 11 12 exchange forward contracts that do not meet the applicable hedging criteria of SFAS No. 133 are recorded currently in income as cost of sales or foreign exchange gain or loss, as applicable. Enesco's hedging activities did not have a material impact on Enesco's results of operations or financial condition during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT: On May 3, 2001 Enesco reduced its workforce in the United States by 120 positions, or approximately 14%. This workforce reduction affected union, non-union, clerical and professional employees and will generate annual savings of approximately $8 million. One-time severance costs approximating $500 thousand will be recorded in the second quarter of 2001. 10. NEW PRESIDENT AND CEO: Daniel DalleMolle was elected as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Enesco as of March 28, 2001. Mr. DalleMolle succeeded interim CEO Anne-Lee Verville. The President and CEO position had been vacant since the resignation of Jeffrey A. Hutsell on June 27, 2000. Mr. DalleMolle was also appointed to Class II of the Board of Directors on March 28, 2001. His Board term will expire on April 24, 2003. 12 13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ENESCO GROUP, INC. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 The information set forth below should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I - Item 1 of the Quarterly Report and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for those respective periods. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: First quarter 2001 sales decreased 15% compared to the same period in 2000. The majority of the decline continues to be focused in the United States card, gift, and collectible channels. Unfilled orders at the beginning of the year were down $2 million, or 4%, compared to the same period last year and new orders for the first quarter of 2001 were down 25% compared to 2000. Enesco's Precious Moments lines represented approximately 45% of first quarter 2001 sales, compared to 43% in 2000 and the Cherished Teddies lines represented approximately 13% of 2001 sales, compared to 16% in 2000. Net international sales decreased 2% and represented 28% of this year's first quarter sales compared to 24% in 2000. Local currency international sales were translated into United States dollars at lower exchange rates in 2001 versus 2000. If the year-to-date 2001 local currency sales were translated into United States dollars at the 2000 exchange rates, sales would have been approximately $1.4 million higher in 2001. Unfilled orders (backlog) as of March 31, 2001, were down approximately $20 million, or 22%, compared to the same period last year. Orders received and approved by Enesco, 13 14 are subject to cancellation for credit considerations, inventory shortages and customer requests. The gross margin for the first quarter decreased compared to 2000 following the sales decrease. Enesco's gross profit margin expressed as a percentage of sales was 45% in 2001 compared to 46% in 2000. The decrease was due to lower margins in the United States due to product and sales channel mix, as all products and channels do not have the same gross margin. Selling, distribution, general and administrative expenses increased 4% in the first quarter of 2001 versus 2000 and represented 54% of net sales in 2001 and 44% in 2000. The increase was due mainly to one-time costs of $1.8 million related to the United States sales force reorganization announced in November, 2000. The one-time costs of $1.8 million consisted of commissions on orders placed before January 1, 2001 that were shipped in 2001, as well as the hiring and training costs for approximately 200 employees. The 2001 expenses were a higher percentage of sales mainly due to the impact of lower sales on fixed costs. Due to the above factors, the first quarter 2001 operating loss was $5.5 million compared to a $1.4 million operating profit last year with the majority of the decrease in the United States. To address declining sales and operating income, Enesco is embarking on several profit improvement initiatives. The first initiative was announced in May 2001 to reduce the workforce in the United States by 120 positions, or 14%. The one-time costs for this workforce reduction will approximate $500 thousand and the workforce reduction will generate annual savings of approximately $8 million. Additionally, Enesco will restructure its Operations, Marketing and Sales Departments to improve efficiencies in the supply chain and product development cycle. The workforce reductions and restructuring will immediately reduce costs and are expected to better position Enesco for future growth. INTEREST EXPENSE decreased in the first quarter of 2001 due to lower average borrowings and lower interest rates. Interest income was lower in the 2001 first quarter 14 15 due to lower cash balances. Amortization of goodwill decreased in the 2001 first quarter based on the completion of an asset's amortization period at the end of 2000. INCOME TAX benefit in the first quarter of 2001 was 46.7% of the pre-tax loss and the income tax provision for first quarter of 2000 was 40% of the pre-tax earnings. The higher effective rate reflects the impact of non-deductible expenses (goodwill) and the geographical mix of earnings. The actual effective tax rates are dependent upon numerous factors and actual results may vary. INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIES AND CURRENCY: The value of the U.S. dollar versus international currencies where Enesco conducts business impacts the results of these businesses. Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus international currencies affect the U.S. dollar translation value of international currency denominated balance sheet items. The changes in the balance sheet dollar values due to international currency translation fluctuations are recorded as a component of shareholders' equity. In addition to the currency risks, Enesco's international operations, including sources of imported products, are subject to risks of doing business abroad, including reliance on third party overseas manufacturers, import or export restrictions and changes in economic and political climates. FINANCIAL CONDITION: Enesco has historically satisfied its capital requirements with internally generated funds and short-term loans. Working capital requirements fluctuate during the year and are generally greatest during the third quarter and lowest at the beginning of the first quarter. The major sources of funds in the first quarter of 2001 from operating activities were from depreciation, amortization, and lower accounts receivable due to lower sales. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding also decreased from 2000 due to more stringent domestic credit policies implemented in the third quarter of 2000. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased from year-end levels due to timing of payments and the impact of lower sales volumes. The corporate headquarters closing reserve at March 31, 2001 totaled $2.8 million, a decrease of $600 thousand from year-end. Due to the duration and timing of severance provisions and related benefits, the reserve will not be fully utilized until the first quarter of 2004. The reserve is expected to be utilized as 15 16 follows: $1.4 million for remainder of 2001, $800 thousand reduction in 2002, $500 thousand reduction in 2003 and $100 thousand reduction in 2004. Enesco has filed and continues to file tax returns with a number of taxing authorities worldwide. While we believe such filings have been and are in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and interpretations, positions taken are subject to challenge by the taxing authorities often for an extended number of years after the filing dates. Enesco has established accruals for tax assessments. These accruals are included in current income taxes payable since it is uncertain as to when assessments may be made and paid. Based upon Enesco's current liquid asset position and credit facilities, Enesco believes it has adequate resources to fund any such assessments. To the extent accruals differ from actual assessments or when the open tax years are closed, the accruals will be adjusted through the provision for income taxes. The majority of the open tax years become closed at the end of December for the particular open year. The major use of cash in investing activities in the first quarter of 2001 was for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures of $7 million are currently anticipated for 2001. The major use of cash in financing activities in the first quarter of 2001 was the reduction of short term debt. The principal sources of Enesco's liquidity are its available cash balances, cash from operations and available financing alternatives. In August 2000, Enesco entered into a $50 million revolving credit facility with Fleet National Bank to replace an existing credit facility. The Fleet credit agreement contains financial and operating covenants including restrictions on indebtedness and liens, selling property, repurchasing our stock and paying dividends. In addition, Enesco is required to satisfy consolidated net worth, fixed charge coverage ratio and leverage ratio tests at the end of each quarter. In March 2001, Enesco agreed to modify its credit agreement with Fleet, which included a modification of the financial covenants. Enesco further agreed in April 2001, to modify the Fleet credit agreement to reduce the commitment to $25 million and to grant Fleet a security interest in inventory and accounts receivable. These modifications are not expected to have a material effect on Enesco's liquidity or the ability of Enesco to meet 16 17 working capital requirements. Enesco is in the early stages of syndicating a new credit facility. Management expects the new credit facility to be in place by July 31, 2001. CURRENT AND PENDING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: EITF 00-14 "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives" and EITF 00-25 "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration from a Vendor to Retailer" will become effective later this year. Enesco has determined that EITF 00-14 will not materially impact its results of operations and financial condition. The impact of EITF 00-25, while not expected to have a material impact, is currently under review. Adoption of SAB 101 "Revenue Recognition" in the fourth quarter of 2000 and EITF 00-22 "Accounting for Points and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free Products or Services to be Delivered in the Future" in the first quarter of 2001 did not affect Enesco's accounting and reporting policies. In accordance with EITF 00-10 "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs" (which was adopted in the fourth quarter 2000) Enesco classifies shipping and handling costs billed to customers as revenue and the related costs are classified as cost of sales. Revenue and cost of sales for the first quarter of 2000 were restated to include the shipping and handling costs billed to customers. Adoption of SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" on January 1, 2001 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: This Form 10-Q including all information incorporated by reference into this Form 10-Q, contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements may include the words "believe," "expect," "plans" or similar words and are based in part on Enesco's reasonable expectations and are subject to a number of factors and risks, many of which are beyond Enesco's control. Enesco's future results may differ materially from its current results and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements contained in, and incorporated by reference into, this Form 10-Q as a result of certain factors including, but not limited to, those set forth below. Readers should also carefully review any risk factors described in other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission: 17 18 - Our ability to manufacture, increase capacity, source and ship new and continuing product in a timely manner and consumers' acceptance of those products at prices that will be sufficient to profitably recover development, manufacturing, marketing, royalty and other costs of the products; - Economic conditions including retail sales, higher fuel prices, currency fluctuations and government regulation and other actions in the various markets in which we operate throughout the world; - The inventory policies of retailers, together with the increased reliance by retailers on quick response inventory management techniques, which increase the risk of underproduction of popular items, overproduction of less popular items and failure to achieve tight and compressed shipping schedules; - The impact of competition on revenues, margins and other aspects of Enesco's business, including the ability to secure, maintain and renew popular licenses and the ability to attract and retain talented employees in a competitive environment. In light of these uncertainties and risks, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q will occur or continue in the future. Except for required, periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Enesco undertakes no obligations to release publicly any revisions to these forward looking statements that may reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 18 19 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Information required by this item either is set forth in Exhibit 13 to Enesco's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as updated by Note 8 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Item 1 herein, or is immaterial. To manage Enesco's foreign currency risk, as of March 31, 2001 Enesco had entered into forward exchange agreements with a notional value of $14.2 million, the majority of which matured on April 2, 2001. The fair value is not significant. 19 20 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS (a) The Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on April 26, 2001.
