ALBANY INTERNATIONAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. 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.
