Management Opinion In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1993. 2. Other Expense, Net Included in other expense, net are: currency transactions, $.5 million expense in 1994 and $.9 million income in 1993, pre-receivable sales, $.2 million in 1994 and $.4 million in 1993, amortization of debt issuance costs and loan origination fees of $.2 million in 1994 and $.3 million in 1993, and other miscellaneous expenses none of which are significant in 1994 and 1993. 3. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share on common stock are computed using the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock outstanding during each year. Options granted under the Company's stock option plans were not dilutive at March 31, 1994 and 1993. The convertible subordinated debentures are not common stock equivalents and will not affect primary earnings per share. Further, the convertible subordinated debentures were not dilutive at March 31, 1994 and 1993. 4. Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was 43.0% as compared to 39.4% for the same period last year and approximates the anticipated effective tax rate for the full year 1994. The increase is due principally to the accrual of net charges associated with prior years resulting from both U.S. and non-U.S. examinations. 5. Debt The Company has an agreement under which it may sell to a financial institution up to $40 million of the Company's right to receive certain payments for goods ordered from the Company. At March 31 there were no amounts sold under this agreement as compared to $12.0 at December 31, 1993. At December 31, 1993 this transaction had the effect of reducing long-term debt $12.0 million, reducing accounts receivable $5.4 million and increasing accrued liabilities $6.6 million. 6. Supplementary Cash Flow Information Interest paid for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 was $3.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Taxes paid for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 were $5.7 million and $.4 million, respectively. 4 7. Acquisitions In February 1994, the Company exchanged its 40% equity interests in Brazil and Argentina for the remaining 60% interest in Mexico. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the Company has included the results of operations in its financial statements as of January 1, 1994. 5 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Net sales decreased to $131.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1994 compared with $ 137.1 for the three months ended March 31, 1993. The effect of the stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the first quarter of 1993 was to decrease net sales by $3.1 million. The sale of Albany Engineered Systems (AES) on June 30, 1993 further reduced first quarter 1994 sales by $ 9.4 million. Excluding these factors, 1994 net sales would have increased 5.0%. United States sales increased while Canadian sales decreased. In Europe, Nordic region sales increased significantly while sales in Continental Europe were behind 1993 levels due to continuing economic problems, particularly in Germany. Management is optimistic about the Company's long term prospects in Europe. The Company continues to gain market share in Forming Fabrics and retain its Press Fabric market share. There were no significant price increases during the three months ended March 31, 1994. Management anticipates that 1994 price increases will be minimal. Gross profit was 38.2% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1994 as compared to 34.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1993. Year to date variable costs as a percent of net sales decreased from 34.8% in 1993 to 31.2% for the same period in 1994, due mainly to plant closings and workforce reductions, principally in Europe, during 1993. In addition, the Company's Total Quality Assurance program has resulted in improved product quality and efficiencies, both of which have contributed to lower costs. Selling, technical and general expenses decreased 4.8% for the three months ended March 31, 1994 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1993. These costs were reduced by translation of non-U.S. currencies into fewer U.S. dollars due to the stronger U.S. dollar, $.8 million, and the sale of AES, $3.2 million. Excluding these effects, expenses increased 4.9%. The Company has not reduced its sales and service efforts as there is an increasing customer demand for service. Management anticipates that this demand for service will continue to increase as customers reduce the number of suppliers. Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased to 8.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1994 from 4.5% for the comparable period in 1993 due to items discussed above. The Company estimates that operating income as a percent of net sales should continue to improve during 1994. However, the magnitude of any improvements will depend on the rate of recovery of the European economies. Interest expense decreased as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1993 as total debt is $40.9 million lower at March 31, 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993. This debt reduction is due principally to a 4.1 million share public offering during the fourth quarter of 1993 which proceeds were used to repay floating rate bank debt. The change in other expense, net was due primarily to currency transactions which resulted in income of $.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1993 and an expense of $.5 million for the comparable period in 1994. The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1994 is 43.0% as compared to 39.4% for the comparable period in 1993 and approximates the anticipated effective rate for the full year 1994. The rate increase is due principally to the accrual of net charges associated with prior years resulting from both U. S. and non-U. S. examinations. During February 1994, the Company exchanged its 40% equity interests in Brazil and Argentina for the remaining 60% interest in Mexico. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the Company has included the results of operations in its financial statements as of January 1, 1994. Reported results of Mexico were not significant. The Company's only remaining equity interest is a 50% partnership in South Africa. 6 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Inventories increased $7.8 million during the three months ended March 31,1994 due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the period, the purchase of the remaining Mexican equity interest (discussed above) and customer requests to maintain higher stocks as the transition to fewer suppliers takes effect. This transition should cause inventories to increase in the near term but should result in more predictable requirements and possibly lower levels in the long term. The Company has an agreement under which it may sell to a financial institution up to $40 million of the Company's right to receive certain payments for goods ordered from the Company. At March 31, 1994, the were no amounts sold under this agreement as compared to $12.0 million at December 31,1993. At December 31, 1993 this transaction reduced long-term debt by $12.0, reduced accounts receivable by $5.4 million and increased accrued liabilities by $6.6 million. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 1994 were $8.0 million as compared to $4.8 million for the same period last year. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures for the full year will approximate $39 million. The Company will finance these expenditures with cash from operations and existing credit facilities. A cash dividend of $.0875 per share, which was declared for the fourth quarter of 1993, was paid in the first quarter of 1994. The Company also declared a cash dividend of $.0875 per share for the first quarter of 1994 which will be paid in the second quarter of this year. 7 Part II - Other Information ITEM 6.
