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 third quarter of $6,569,000 increased $2,321,000 from
the same period a year ago as the Company's sales continue to improve in
Europe and the Pacific offset by the recent softening of sales in the North
American markets. In addition, gross margin levels have improved from 1994
and operating expenses as a percent of sales have declined due primarily to
cost reduction efforts initiated in 1994.
Sales in the third quarter of $94,797,000 increased $5,749,000, or 6
percent, from the same period in 1994. Third quarter sales in the Americas
decreased 1 percent to $57,357,000, and European sales were up 34 percent
to $21,643,000 (a 23 percent volume increase, and an 11 percent gain due to
exchange rates). In the Pacific (excluding Japan), sales increased 2
percent to $8,640,000 (volume was flat compared to a strong quarter a year
ago and a gain of 2 percent on exchange rates). In Japan, sales increased
9 percent to $7,157,000 (a 4 percent volume decrease and a gain of 13
percent on exchange rates).
Sales for the nine months were $293,726,000, an 11 percent increase over
the same period last year. In the Americas, sales increased 2 percent to
$186,319,000. European sales were up 36 percent to $58,970,000 (a volume
increase of 23 percent and a 13 percent gain due to exchange rates). Sales
in the Pacific (excluding Japan) increased 34 percent to $25,801,000 (a 32
percent volume increase and a 2 percent gain due to exchange rates). In
Japan, sales increased 21 percent to $22,636,000 (a 5 percent volume
increase and a 16 percent gain on exchange rates).
Operating expenses in the third quarter of $35,802,000 are at approximately
the same level as the third quarter of 1994. Product development expense
decreased 4 percent over 1994, although previously announced new product
initiatives continue. Selling expenses were 4 percent lower than the same
period last year, largely due to lower headcount. General and
administrative costs were up 10 percent, due primarily to expense items
related to increased profitability.
The effective income tax rate for the quarter was 32 percent compared to 36
percent for the same period in 1994. The decrease was due primarily to
foreign results effectively taxed at lower rates on a year-to-date basis.
The year-to-date tax rate for the nine months ended September 29, 1995 was
36 percent compared to 35 percent for the same period in 1994.
The Company expects favorable sales and order trends in Europe and the
Pacific region as these economies strengthen. The slowing of the U.S.
economy continues to impact domestic bookings and backlog during the last
quarter of 1995. The Company will make further investments in improvements
to manufacturing efficiency and new product development, while closely
controlling expenses throughout the organization.
In October 1995, the Company announced the construction of a $17 million
manufacturing and distribution facility in Rogers, Minnesota. The Company
expects to finance the project through operating cash flows and existing
lines of credit.
Financial Condition
Cash was used for operating activities and fixed asset additions. Accounts
receivable decreased $1,050,000 from the prior year-end due primarily to
collection efforts in Europe, and property, plant and equipment purchases
total $16,546,000 year-to-date.
The Company has unused lines of credit available at September 29, 1995
totaling $57 million.
