The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated results of the Company, its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, and its foreign sales corporation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 29, 1996, and the results of operations and cash flows for the period then ended. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year. Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the September 29, 1996 presentation. (2) ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS In 1995, the Company recorded a provision of $3 million for estimated costs to remediate a site at the Company's Milwaukee facility that was contaminated by a solvent spill which occurred in 1985. The environmental reserve reflects this provision. 6 7 Item 2 STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION The following Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's accompanying Financial Statements and Notes thereto and the Company's 1996 Annual Report. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to years refer to fiscal years. Analysis of Results of Operations Three months ended September 29, 1996 compared to the three months ended October 1, 1995 Net sales increased 30 percent to $36.2 million for the three months ended September 29, 1996, from $27.8 million for the three months ended October 1, 1995. The sales increase is primarily due to sales to the Ford Motor Company, which totaled $9.9 million in the current quarter compared to $2.4 million in the prior year quarter. During the current quarter, the Company made production volume shipments for all vehicle programs which it supplies to Ford. Production on the majority of these programs was phased in during the prior fiscal year. Sales to General Motors Corporation and Chrysler Corporation increased by a total of approximately 7 percent compared to the prior year quarter due to increased vehicle production at these customers and increased product content and features in the locksets supplied by the Company. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 17.3 percent in the three months ended September 29, 1996, compared to 17.1 percent in the three months ended October 1, 1995. Scrap levels and expedited freight costs have decreased in the current quarter compared to fiscal 1996 as the Company has focused on identifying and correcting the causes for these problems. Engineering, selling and administrative expenses were $4.2 million or 11.5 percent of sales for the three months ended September 29, 1996, compared to $3.8 million or 13.6 percent of sales for the three months ended October 1, 1995. Income from operations was $2.1 million for the three months ended September 29, 1996, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended October 1, 1995. Income from operations increased reflecting the increased sales volume as previously described above. The effective income tax rate for the current quarter was 38.5 percent compared to 39.9 percent in the prior year quarter. The current quarter rate is consistent with the prior fiscal year rate. The effective rate differs from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the effects of state income taxes. Liquidity and Capital Resources Capital expenditures in the first three months of 1997 were $1.4 million compared to $3.0 million in the first three months of 1996. The decrease in capital expenditures compared to the prior year is due to the timing of expenditures for new product programs. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures will be approximately $11 million in fiscal 1997 primarily in support of additional product programs, and the upgrade and replacement of existing equipment at the Milwaukee facility. 7 8 The Company's investment in accounts receivable increased by approximately $7.2 million to $26 million at September 29, 1996, as compared to $18.8 million at June 30, 1996, due to the receipt of normal payments from significant customers subsequent to September 29, 1996, and an increase in outstanding billings for customer tooling. Inventory levels at September 29, 1996, were consistent with the levels at June 30, 1996. The Company has a $25 million unsecured, revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility were $7.1 million at September 29, 1996 primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable as previously discussed above. The Company believes that the Credit Facility will be adequate, along with cash flow from operations, to meet its anticipated capital expenditure, working capital and operating expenditure requirements. Funding of the environmental remediation at the Milwaukee facility is not expected to impact ongoing operations. The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized a stock repurchase program to buy back up to 5 percent of the 5.8 million outstanding shares. Shares will be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions and will be held as Treasury Shares. The stock repurchase program will be funded through the Credit Facility along with cash flow from operations. The Company has not been significantly impacted by inflationary pressures over the last several years. Primary raw materials are high grade zinc and brass which are generally subject to commodity pricing and variations in the market prices of these materials. Mexican Operations The Company has assembly operations in Juarez, Mexico. The functional currency of the Mexican operation is the Mexican Peso. The effects of currency fluctuations result in adjustments to the U.S. dollar value of the Company's net assets and to the equity accounts in accordance with FAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." A number of the matters and subject areas discussed in this Form 10-Q that are not historical or current facts deal with potential future circumstances and developments. These include expected future financial results, liquidity needs, financing ability, management's or the Company's expectations and beliefs and similar matters discussed in the Company's Management Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. The discussions of such matters and subject areas are qualified by the inherent risk and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally, and also may materially differ from the Company's actual future experience. The Company's business, operations and financial performance are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could result in material differences in actual results from the Company's current expectations. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, demand for the Company's products and costs of operations. 8 9 Part II Other Information Item 1 Legal Proceedings - None Item 2 Changes in Securities - None Item 3 Defaults Upon Senior Securities - None Item 4 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security-Holders - None Item 5 Other Information - None Item 6 Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (a) Exhibits 3.1* Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company 3.2* By-Laws of the Company 4.1* Rights Agreement dated as of February 6, 1995 between the Company and Firstar Trust Company, as Rights Agent (b) Reports - None - ------------------ * Incorporated by reference to Amendment No. 2 to the Company's Form 10 filed on February 6, 1995.
