TOOTSIE ROLL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2001 (UNAUDITED) Note 1 - Foregoing data has been prepared from the unaudited financial records of the Company and in the opinion of Management all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been reflected. All adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company's 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Note 2 - The Company's unshipped orders at March 31, 2001 amounted to $17,200,000. Note 3 - Based on Average Shares outstanding adjusted for Stock Dividends. Note 4 - Includes 3% stock dividends distributed on April 18, 2001 and April 19, 2000. Note 5 - Results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year to end December 31, 2001 because of the seasonal nature of the Company's operations. Historically, the Third Quarter has been the Company's largest sales quarter due to Halloween sales. Note 6 - On May 12, 2000, the Company acquired the assets of Andes Candies, Inc. from Brach & Brock Confections, Inc. In February 2000, the Company acquired the assets of a small confectionery company. The cost of these acquisitions was $74.3 million. The acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method. Accordingly, the operating results of the acquired businesses have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. Note 7 - Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and its related amendment, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." These standards require that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives will be recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive earnings, depending on whether a derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive earnings will be reclassified as earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The adoption of these new standards did not affect net earnings and increased comprehen- sive earnings by $229,000, net of income taxes, as of January 1, 2001. The Company utilizes commodity futures contracts to manage variability in cash flows associated with certain commodities (primarily sugar). Commodity futures contracts are entered into for varying periods and are intended and effective as hedges of market price risks associated with the anticipated purchase of raw materials. To qualify as a hedge, the Company evaluates the the nature and relationships between the hedging instrument and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions and method of assessing hedge effectiveness. In addition, the significant characteristics and expected terms of the anticip- ated transaction must be specifically identified and it must be probable that the anticipated transaction will occur. If the anticipated transaction were not to occur, the gian or loss would be recognized in earnings currently. Financial instru- ments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a high correlation between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period. The Company does not engage in trading or other speculative use of derivative instruments. In entering into these contracts, the Company has assumed the risk that might arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their con- tracts. The Company does not expect any losses as a result of counterparty defaults. During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, accumulated other comprehensive earnings decreased by $118,000 due to hedging transactions and decreased by $333,000, which represented the net amount reclassified to the consolidated statement of earnings, comprehensive earnings and retained earnings. As of March 31, 2001, $363,000 of deferred net gains on derivative instruments accumulated in other comprehensive earnings are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months. NOTE 8 - In April 2001, a consensus was reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) on Issue No. 00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products." The Company's cooperative advertising programs are covered by this issue. In May 2000, a consensus was reached by the EITF on Issue 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives." These issues require that cooperative advertising and certain sales incentives costs currently being reported as selling, marketing and administrative expense to be recorded as a reduction of net sales beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The total potential impact of such reclassifications has not yet been determined. The reclassifi- cations will not affect the Company's financial position or net income. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is Management's discussion of the Company's operating results and analysis of factors which have affected the accompanying Statement of Earnings. This discussion, the information contained in the preceding notes to the finan- cial statements and the information contained in "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," contain certain forward-looking statements that are based largely on the Company's current expectations. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results and achievements to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Such risks, trends and uncertainties, which in some instances are beyond the Company's control, include changes in demand and consumer preferences; raw material prices; competition; the effect of acquisitions on the Company's results of operations and financial condition; the Company's reliance on third-party vendors for various services; and changes in the confectionary environment including action taken by major retailers and customer accounts. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend" and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking state- ments, which are as of the date of this filing. NET SALES: First Quarter, 2001 First Quarter vs. 2001 2000 First Quarter, 2000 $82,621,201 $78,014,809 +5.9% First Quarter 2001 net sales of $82,621,000, were up 5.9% from First Quarter 2000 net sales of $78,015,000. Sales rose as a result of additional sales from brands acquired in 2000 and from volume increases in some core brands. However, the Company experienced both increased competitive pressures and the effects of the overall slowing economy. First Quarter 2001 net sales of $82,621,000 were down from Fourth Quarter 2000 net sales of $92,789,000. This is not considered unusual as the First Quarter of the year is historically the company's lowest sales quarter. COST OF SALES: Cost of Sales as a First Quarter Percentage of Net Sales 2001 2000 1st Qtr. 2001 1st Qtr. 2000 $39,663,550 $36,948,005 48.0% 47.4% Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased slightly from 47.4% for First Quarter 2000 to 48.0% for First Quarter 2001. This increase reflects some changes in the sales mix as well as the lower profit margins of the acquired brands. NET EARNINGS: First Quarter, 2001 First Quarter vs. 2001 2000 First Quarter, 2000 $12,384,866 $13,063,119 -5.2% First quarter earnings from operations were $17,811,000 and $18,125,000 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decline in operating income of $314,000 or 2% is the result of product mix changes and the resulting lower profit margins from the acquired brands, higher energy and transporation costs, and higher promo- tional costs and customer deductions. First Quarter 2001 net earnings were $12,385,000 compared to First Quarter 2000 net earnings of $13,063,000. First Quarter 2001 earnings per share were $0.25 a decrease of $.01 or 3.8% from First Quarter 2000 earnings per share of $.26. Net income was further adversely affected by decreased investment income and foreign exchange losses. The consolidated effective income tax rate favorably decreased from 35.9% in the First Quarter of 2000 to 35.1% in the First Quarter of 2001. This improvement generally reflects a reduction in state income taxes. First Quarter 2001 net earnings were $12,385,000 compared to Fourth Quarter 2000 net earnings of $15,508,000, which reflects the lower level of sales in the First Quarter 2001 compared to the Fourth Quarter 2000. This is consis- tent with historical trends. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: The Company's current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) is 3.3 to 1 as of the end of the First Quarter 2001 as compared to 3.8 to 1 as of the First Quarter 2000 and 3.5 to 1 as of the Fourth Quarter 2000. Net working capital was $143,131,000 as of the end of the First Quarter 2001 as compared to $173,924,000 as of the First Quarter 2000. The decrease in net working capital principally reflects the use of cash and cash equivilents and short-term investments for a business acquisition made in the Second Quarter of 2000. Net working capital was $145,764,000 at the end of the Fourth Quarter 2000. Net cash used in operating activities was $8,328,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $7,924,000 for the quarter ended April 1, 2000. The change primarily reflects increased inventory and accounts receivable levels at March 31, 2001 and a change in the timing of the funding of certain medical benefit costs. Capital expenditures for 2001 are anticipated to be generally in line with historical spending and are to be funded from the Company's cash flow from operations and internal sources. Debt securities that matured during the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and April 1, 2000 were replaced with debt securities of similar maturities. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISK: The Company is exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in sugar, corn syrup, edible oils, cocoa and packaging costs. The Company also invests in securities with maturities of up to three years, the majority of which are held to maturity, which limits the Company's exposure to interest rate fluctua- tions. There has been no material change in the Company's market risks that would significantly affect the disclosures made in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION TOOTSIE ROLL INDUSTRIES, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES Form 8-K was not required to be filed during the First Quarter of 2001. Sales of unregistered Securities - None.
