See accompaning Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 5 APPLIED POWER INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Applied Power Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For additional information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made. Such adjustments consist of only those of a recurring nature, other than the extraordinary charge discussed in Note D - "Extraordinary Charge" and the foreign currency exchange loss discussed in Note E - "Foreign Currency Exchange Loss". Operating results for the three and nine months ended May 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1995. NOTE B - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The Company completed the sale of certain assets of Wright Line's Datafile business in October, 1993. A short time later, Wright Line sold its Tapeseal product line to a third party. In the second quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company announced its decision to retain the remaining Wright Line business, which had been included in discontinued operations since the third quarter of 1992. For further information, refer to Note B - "Discontinued Operations" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K. NOTE C - ACQUISITIONS On September 2, 1994, the Company acquired the assets of its master distributor in Brazil for $699 in cash (the "Brazil Acquisition"). Approximately $365 of the purchase price was assigned to goodwill. The operating results of the new entity, subsequent to its acquisition, are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. On March 21, 1994, the Company increased its ownership interest in Applied Power Korea from approximately 50% to 90%. Cash of $912 was used in the acquisition which generated goodwill of $572. The results of operations of this subsidiary have historically been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Effective October 1, 1993, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Palmer Industries, Inc. ("Palmer") for approximately $1,534 in cash and a $350 note. Approximately $490 of the purchase price was assigned to goodwill. Palmer, based in Alexandria, Minnesota, is a leading manufacturer of plastic and metal staples, fasteners and straps. The operating results of Palmer subsequent to October 1, 1993 are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. NOTE D - EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE During the quarter ended February 28, 1995, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $4,920 ($.36 per share) in anticipation of the March 30, 1995 extinguishment of $64,350 of 9.92% Senior Unsecured Notes. The pre-tax extraordinary loss of $7,343 is comprised of an estimated make whole provision of $4,050, costs associated with the cancellation of underlying interest rate swap agreements of $3,047, and the write-off of deferred finance costs of $246. The funds used to retire the debt and pay the make whole obligation were obtained from new borrowings under a temporary $40,000 expansion of an existing revolving credit facility. The new borrowings are subject to the same terms, rates and covenants as the existing $40,000 multicurrency revolver, except that the new $40,000 credit expansion expires August 31, 1995. In conjunction with the refinancing, the Company entered into interest rate caps on a notional $60,000 in borrowings that limits the maximum applicable base rate (three month LIBOR) to 8.0%. Currently the Company incurs interest at .3% - .45% above three month LIBOR. The interest rate caps expire in 6 March, 1997. The Company anticipates securing permanent financing prior to the end of the current fiscal year, August 31, 1995. NOTE E - FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE LOSS Earnings from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended May 31, 1995 include a $1.3 million foreign currency exchange loss ($.06 per share, after tax) for the devaluation of the Mexican peso. Applied Power S.A. de C.V., the Company's Mexican subsidiary, had certain U.S. dollar denominated liabilities which were impacted by the devaluation. During the second quarter, the Company restructured various financial obligations of its Mexican subsidiary to reduce the earnings impact of any potential further devaluation of the peso. NOTE F - SUBSEQUENT EVENT The Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of New England Controls, Inc. ("NECON") on June 28, 1995 for approximately $2.1 million in cash. NECON, based in Milford, Connecticut, is a manufacturer of electrical switches. 7 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company reported record sales and earnings for the quarter ended May 31, 1995. Earnings from continuing operations before extraordinary charges were $7,305, or $.53 per share, compared to $5,343, or $.40 per share, recorded in the comparable prior year period. For the first nine months of fiscal 1995, earnings from continuing operations before extraordinary charges were $17,384, or $1.27 per share, a 50% improvement over the comparable prior year earnings of $11,568, or $.87 per share.

Third quarter sales were the strongest of the fiscal year, with a 25% increase over the comparable period last year. Geographically, all regions exhibited strong double-digit sales growth rates, including Japan. Sales from the Distributed Products Group, which consists of Enerpac and GB Electrical, increased 24% and 20% for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 1995, respectively. Excluding the impact of favorable foreign currency translation due to the weaker U.S. dollar, Distributed Products Group sales increased 19% and 16% for the three and nine month periods. This sales growth results from stronger worldwide economies, new product introductions, the impact of the Brazil Acquisition, and continued geographic expansion into developing markets. The Engineered Solutions Group, consisting of Barry Controls, Power-Packer and APITECH, reported third quarter and year-to-date sales gains of 20% and 22% over the comparable prior year periods. Excluding the impact of favorable foreign currency translation, sales increased 13% and 16% for the three and nine month periods. Strong European cab-tilt and convertible top system sales by Power-Packer, as well as overall improvement in the North American and European transportation and industrial markets were the key contributors. Wright Line's sales increased 52% in the third quarter, bringing its year-to-date sales growth to 43% over the first nine months of fiscal 1994. The growth was primarily due to the strength of its product offering and distribution effectiveness into the fast growing local area computer network market with its LAN Management System. Also contributing were new products, including the Addendum laboratory furniture and MediaLinx product lines.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GROSS PROFIT BY SEGMENT Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 31, May 31, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1995 1994 CHANGE 1995 1994 CHANGE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributed Products Group $29,790 $24,732 20% $82,516 $71,194 16% Engineered Solutions Group 15,221 12,259 24% 41,505 32,935 26% Wright Line 8,625 5,541 56% 25,079 14,668 71% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $53,636 $42,532 26% $149,100 $118,797 26% =============================================================================================================
Gross profit increased 26% over the prior year for both the three and nine month periods ending May 31, 1995, attributable to the corresponding increases in sales volume. Favorable manufacturing efficiencies, volume and product mix at Wright Line and within the Engineered Solutions Group were partially offset by the impact of unfavorable product mix within the Distributed Products Group businesses. The overall impact is an increase in the Company's nine month gross profit percentage from 37.5% to 38.3%. 8
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OPERATING EXPENSES Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 31, May 31, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1995 1994 CHANGE 1995 1994 CHANGE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Engineering $ 4,223 $ 3,727 13% $ 11,828 $ 9,993 18% Selling & Marketing 23,054 17,754 30% 65,050 52,871 23% Administration 12,101 8,857 37% 33,321 26,275 27% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $39,378 $30,338 30% $110,199 $89,139 24% ===========================================================================================
Third quarter and year-to-date operating expenses were 30% and 24% higher than that reported in the comparable prior year periods, respectively. Approximately $1,615 and $3,108 of the three and nine month increases, respectively, were attributable to foreign currency translation. Engineering expenses for the first nine months of the current fiscal year were 18% higher than the prior year, reflecting increased new product development expenditures, mostly within the Engineered Solutions Group. The increase in selling and marketing expense was primarily sales volume driven, consisting of incremental commissions, advertising and general selling costs. Administration expense increased due to additional employee benefit, legal, information technology and geographic expansion expenditures. The Company continued selective personnel reductions in Enerpac's European operations, and transferred the Vlier business unit to the Barry Controls facility in Brighton, Massachusetts. Related costs in the third quarter of Fiscal 1995 totaled $1.6 million, $1.1 million of which was included in administration expense. Operating expenses have remained at approximately 28% of sales during the comparative nine months periods. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended May 31, 1995 was lower than the comparative prior year periods as a result of lower interest rates, resulting from the refinancing (see Liquidity and Capital Resources) and lower outstanding indebtedness. Amortization expense for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 1995 was significantly less than the prior year due to certain GB Electrical intangible assets becoming fully amortized during the second quarter of fiscal 1995. The Company recognized a $1,331 foreign currency loss in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 attributable to the devaluation of the Mexican peso. The Company's Mexican subsidiary had certain U.S. dollar denominated liabilities which were impacted by the devaluation. The resulting loss is included in "Other - net" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The Company restructured various financial obligations of its Mexican subsidiary to reduce the earnings impact of any potential further devaluation of the peso. Included under the caption "Discontinued Operations, net of income taxes" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the nine months ended May 31, 1994 are the earnings of the retained Wright Line operations for the first quarter of fiscal 1994, which had previously been credited to the discontinued operations reserve. For further information, see Note B - "Discontinued Operations" in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $4,920 ($.36 per share) in February, 1995 in anticipation of the March 30, 1995 extinguishment of $64,350 of 9.92% Senior Unsecured Notes. The pre-tax extraordinary loss of $7,343 is comprised of an estimated make whole provision of $4,050, costs associated with the cancellation of the underlying interest rate swap agreements of $3,047, and the write-off of deferred finance costs of $246. The refinancing will provide the Company with more flexibility as to repayment and geographic placement of debt, as well as lower interest costs. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents totaled $3,243 at May 31, 1995 and $1,907 at August 31, 1994. In order to minimize interest expense, the Company intentionally maintains low cash balances by using available cash to reduce short-term bank borrowings. Cash generated from operations, after considering non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities, totaled $15,121 and $14,525 for the three month periods ended May 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Approximately $29,470 of cash was generated from earnings and non-cash charges during the nine months ended 9 May 31, 1995, which was reduced by $15,438 of increases in inventory and receivables attributable to business expansion. Capital expenditures totaled $10,618 and $9,068 for the nine month periods ended May 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. In June, 1995, Wright Line began construction of an addition to its facility in Worcester, Massachusetts which will house a new paint line system. Estimated costs are slightly over $4.0 million for this project, which is expected to be completed by January 1, 1996.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL CAPITALIZATION May 31, 1995 August 31, 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shareholders' Equity $123,445 52% $107,311 47% Total Debt 99,381 42% 103,455 46% Deferred Income Taxes 15,105 6% 16,768 7% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $237,931 100% $227,534 100% ================================================================================
During the nine months ended May 31, 1995, total debt decreased by $4,074, due in part to cash generated from the sale of an additional $5,000 of accounts receivable under the Company's accounts receivable financing program. Debt as a percentage of total capitalization declined to 42% at the end of the quarter, compared to 46% at the beginning of the current fiscal year. Dividends of $1,194 were paid, while the exercise of stock options generated an additional $2,670 of cash. The Company extinguished all $64,350 of its 9.92% Senior Unsecured Notes on March 30, 1995. The funds used to retire the $64,350 of debt and disburse make whole payments totaling approximately $3,960 were obtained from new borrowings under a temporary $40,000 expansion of the Company's existing $40,000 multicurrency revolving credit agreement. The new borrowings are subject to the same terms, rates and covenants as the existing $40,000 multicurrency revolver, except that the new $40,000 credit expansion expires August 31, 1995. The Company expects to replace the temporary variable rate financing with a permanent variable rate facility prior to August 31, 1995. In conjunction with the refinancing, the Company entered into interest rate caps on a notional $60,000 in borrowings that limits the maximum applicable base rate (three month LIBOR) to 8.0%. Currently, the Company incurs interest at .3% - .45% above three month LIBOR. The interest rate caps expire in March, 1997. The Company anticipates that the funds generated from operations and available under short-term credit lines will be adequate to meet operating, debt service and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. 10 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6 - EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (a) See Index to Exhibits on page 13, which is incorporated herein by reference.
