Item 2. GRACO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Net earnings in the first quarter of $5.6 million increased $0.1 million from
the same period a year ago despite a decrease in sales. Sales were lower in
all geographic regions. The earnings improvement came primarily as a result
of a lower effective tax rate and lower interest expense in the first quarter
of 1996 compared to 1995. Also contributing to the Company's improved
earnings was a one percentage point increase in gross margin from 1995 as the
result of price increases.
Sales in the first quarter of $90.2 million decreased $5.4 million, or 6
percent, from the same period in 1995. First quarter sales in the Americas
decreased 5 percent to $61.8 million and European sales declined 2 percent to
$15.8 million (a 6 percent volume decrease, and a 4 percent gain due to
exchange rates). In Asia Pacific, sales decreased 12 percent to $12.5 million
(a volume decrease of 10 percent and a loss of 2 percent on exchange rates).
Operating expenses in the first quarter of $35.8 million decreased $1.0
million or 3 percent from the first quarter of 1995. Product development
expense increased 8 percent over 1995 due to increased occupancy costs
associated with the Company's Russell J. Gray Technical Center which opened in
1995. Selling expenses were 8 percent lower than the same period last year,
largely due to lower headcount. General and administrative costs were up 5
percent, due primarily to expense items related to consolidating the Company's
Franklin Park, Illinois operations. By relocating Franklin Park's industrial
systems application engineering and sales expertise to Minneapolis, the
Company will be well-suited to leverage its systems skills throughout the
Company's entire technical group.
The effective income tax rate for the quarter was 33 percent compared to 38
percent for the same period in 1995. The decrease was due primarily to
foreign earnings effectively taxed at lower rates.
While harsh winter conditions in North America and economic softness in many
markets contributed to a slow first quarter of 1996, the Company is encouraged
by recent positive trends. Incoming orders in the first quarter exceeded
sales by $10 million, increasing backlog to $30 million. Toyota Motor
Corporation in Cambridge, Ontario recently awarded an $11 million contract to
the Company to install a paint circulating system during the second half of
1996. Excluding subcontract work, the Company will recognize approximately $4
million of sales from this project. The Company will continue to make further
improvements to manufacturing efficiency and investments in new product
development, while closely controlling expenses throughout the organization.
Financial Condition
Cash was provided by earnings and operating activities and used principally to
fund property additions. Accounts receivable decreased $1.0 million from the
prior year-end due primarily to collection efforts in Europe and Japan, and
property, plant and equipment purchases total $4.5 million year-to-date.
The Company has unused lines of credit available at March 29, 1996 totaling
$66 million.
