GLOBAL DIRECTMAIL CORP NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Global DirectMail Corp ("Global" or the "Company") was incorporated in April 1995 and is the successor to several corporations owned by related shareholders. In connection with the consummation of an initial public offering in June 1995 (the "Initial Public Offering"), the shareholders of these predecessor companies agreed to exchange all of the outstanding capital stock for 28,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company and the predecessor companies terminated their elections to be treated as S Corporations. In addition to this exchange, notes aggregating $97.8 million which were issued by certain of the predecessor companies to the shareholders, representing S Corporation earnings and tax basis through the date of the closing of the Initial Public Offering, were paid. Such payment was made net of $10.6 million of notes receivable from officers'/shareholders' and loans made to officers/shareholders of $1.2 million. In addition, all affiliated indebtedness which existed at that time was satisfied. Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, Global sold 8,308,750 shares at $17.50 per share. In March 1996 the Company completed an additional public offering of 1,000,000 shares at $32.25 per share. Net income per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 was computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and share equivalents outstanding for the period. The financial position of the Company as of September 30, 1996, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, and cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 include Tiger Direct, Inc. ("Tiger Direct") which was acquired in November 1995 and has been accounted for as a purchase. Goodwill which resulted from this transaction was approximately $21.9 million and is being amortized over a 35 year life. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30,1996 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and changes in stockholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The December 31, 1995 Balance Sheet has been extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1995 and for the period then ended. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results for an entire year.
GLOBAL DIRECTMAIL CORP NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2. PRO FORMA INFORMATION Pro Forma Income Adjustments The pro forma income data for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 present the effects on the historical combined financial statements of certain transactions as if they occurred as of the beginning of that period, including (1) reduced levels of compensation and royalty payments to officers/shareholders, (2) the elimination of $500,000 per year of compensation paid to a shareholder pursuant to a consulting agreement entered into in 1992 which terminated in connection with the Initial Public Offering, (3) the elimination of $1.1 million of interest expense on certain notes issued to certain shareholders of the predecessor companies, and (4) provision for income taxes to eliminate the benefit, for income tax purposes, of the predecessor companies with S Corporation status. Payments to Executive Officers / Shareholders - An adjustment has been made to eliminate (1) compensation paid to the Company's three principal executive officers/shareholders in excess of $300,000 each per annum and (2) royalty expenses paid under a royalty agreement to the Company's three principal officers/shareholders aggregating approximately $85,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the amount of salary and bonus to be paid to each of the three executive officers/shareholders was reduced to $300,000 per year, the patents were assigned to Global and the royalty agreement was terminated. Income Taxes - The pro forma adjustment reflects increased provisions for income taxes to an effective rate of 39 percent for and nine month period ended September 30, 1995. While this effective rate represents the Company's pro forma tax rate based on historic earnings trends in the respective tax jurisdictions, this rate may change in the future in accordance with such trends and as tax credits currently available are fully utilized.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 Net sales increased by $73.0 million or 47.8% to $225.9 million in the third quarter of 1996 from $152.9 million in the third quarter of 1995. The increase was attributable to (i) the inclusion of a full quarter of sales from Tiger Direct, (ii) an increase in the number of catalogs mailed, including certain new catalog titles introduced in the first quarter in Europe, (iii) increased revenues from the Company's outbound telemarketing program and (iv) increased catalog response rates compared to the third quarter of 1995. Catalog response rates are calculated as the number of orders entered during the period divided by the number of catalogs mailed during the period. Average order value increased by 6.2% compared to the year ago quarter as a result of the continued increases in sales of brand name products and hardware. Sales attributable to the Company's North American operations increased 59.2% to $174.5 million in the third quarter of 1996 from $109.6 million in the third quarter of 1995 while European sales increased 18.5% to $51.3 million in the third quarter 1996 from $43.3 million in the third quarter of 1995. Sales growth attributable to the Company's operations in the UK, France, and Spain remained strong while sales growth attributable to the Company's operations in Germany and Italy grew more modestly. Gross profit, which consists of net sales less product and certain shipping and distribution center costs, increased by $12.8 million or 26.9% to $60.3 million in the third quarter of 1996 from $47.5 million in the third quarter of 1995. Gross profit margin decreased to 26.7% of net sales in the third quarter of 1996 from 31.1% in the third quarter of 1995. The decrease in gross profit margin is due to the inclusion of a full quarter of sales from Tiger Direct whose product mix has a lower profit margin, and the Company's strategic decision to increase the proportion of net sales attributable to brand name products, particularly computer related products and hardware which typically have lower profit margins than many of the Company's other products. As described below, the significant portion of this decline has been offset by a continued decline in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales. Tiger Direct was acquired in November of 1995 and is being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The Company's 1995 third quarter results do not include the pre-acquisition losses from Tiger Direct, Inc. that were reported in Tiger Direct's third quarter 1995 report on Form 10-Q. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $8.8 million or 25.4% to $43.5 million in the third quarter of 1996 from $34.7 million in the third quarter of 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales, to 19.2% in the third quarter of 1996 from 22.7% in the third quarter of 1995. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was primarily the result of (i) increased levels of vendor supported advertising, (ii) continued expense control and (iii) the leveraging of selling, general and administrative expenses over a larger sales base. Income from operations increased by $4.0 million or 31.3% to $16.8 million from $12.8 million in the year ago quarter. Income from operations for the third quarter of 1996 as a percentage of net sales decreased to 7.5% from 8.3% in the year ago quarter. This decrease was the result of including, in the 1996 quarter, the results of Tiger Direct, which operated at lower levels of profit than the Company's other divisions, and a profit level in Europe of 0.3% in the 1996 quarter compared with 4.2% in the year ago quarter. Interest and other (income) expense, net, increased by $0.3 million to income of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 1996 from income of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 1995. Interest income increased as a result of higher levels of short term investments for the third quarter of 1996 compared to the third quarter of 1995. Net income increased $2.8 million to $10.7 million in the third quarter of 1996 from $7.9 million in the third quarter of 1995. Nine months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Nine months Ended September 30, 1995 Net sales increased by $195.2 million or 42.2% to $658.3 million in the first nine months of 1996 from $463.1 million in the first nine months of 1995. The increase was attributable to (i) the inclusion of nine months of sales in North America from Tiger Direct, (ii) an increase in the number of catalogs mailed including certain new catalog titles introduced in the first quarter in Europe, and (iii) increased revenues from the Company's outbound telemarketing program. As a result of the new catalog introductions which included cross border mailings into countries in which the Company does not have an existing customer base, response rates compared to the first nine months of 1995 decreased slightly. Catalog response rates are calculated as the number of orders entered during the period divided by the number of catalogs mailed during the period. Average order value increased by 5.7% compared to the year ago period as a result of the continued increases in sales of brand name products and hardware. Sales attributable to the Company's North American operations increased 48.4% to $487.0 million in the first nine months of 1996 from $328.2 million in the first nine months of 1995 while European sales increased 27.0% to $171.3 million in the first nine months 1996 from $134.9 million in the first nine months of 1995. Sales growth attributable to the Company's operations in the UK, France, and Spain remained strong while sales growth attributable to the Company's operations in Germany and Italy grew more modestly. Gross profit, which consists of net sales less product and certain shipping and distribution center costs, increased by $41.4 million or 28.7% to $185.4 million in the first nine months of 1996 from $144.0 million in the first nine months of 1995. Gross profit margin decreased to 28.2% of net sales in the first nine months of 1996 from 31.1% in the first nine months of 1995. The decrease in gross profit margin is due to the Company's strategic decision to increase the proportion of net sales attributable to brand name products, particularly computer related products which typically have lower profit margins than many of the Company's other products, and the inclusion of nine months sales of Tiger Direct whose product mix has a lower profit margin. As described below, the significant portion of this decline has been offset by a continued decline in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $30.3 million or 28.9% to $134.8 million in the first nine months of 1996 from $104.5 million in the first nine months of 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales, to 20.5% in the first nine months of 1996 from 22.6% in the first nine months of 1995. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was primarily the result of (i) increased levels of vendor supported advertising, (ii) continued expense control and (iii) the leveraging of selling, general and administrative expenses over a larger sales base. On a pro forma basis for the first nine months of 1995, selling, general and administrative expenses were $104.6 million or 22.6% of net sales. Prior to the closing of the Company's Initial Public Offering on September 29, 1995, selling, general and administrative expenses excluded executive officer compensation paid to the Company's three principal stockholders who also serve as the Company's three principal executive officers. Effective as of June 29, 1995, a base salary of $300,000 per year was established for each of such executive officers. None of such executive officers is eligible for any increase in salary or any discretionary bonus until June 29, 1997. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to such salaries was partially offset by the termination on June 29, 1995 of a $500,000 per year consulting agreement entered into in 1992 with a stockholder. Income from operations increased by $11.0 million or 27.9% to $50.6 million in the first nine months of 1996 from $39.6 million in the first nine months of 1995. Income from operations for the first nine months of 1996 as a percentage of net sales decreased to 7.7% from 8.5% in the first nine months of 1995. The decrease was primarily the result of the inclusion of Tiger Direct in the first nine months of 1996, which did not reach profitability until the third quarter. On a pro forma basis for the first nine months of 1995, income from operations was $39.4 million or 8.5% of net sales. Tiger Direct was acquired in November of 1995 and is being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The Company's 1995 first nine months results do not include the pre-acquisition losses from Tiger Direct, Inc. that were reported for the first nine months of 1995 in Tiger Direct's third quarter report on Form 10-Q. Interest and other (income) expense, net, increased by $2.7 million to income of $1.2 million in the first nine months of 1996 from expense of $1.5 million in the first nine months of 1995. Interest expense decreased as a result of the repayment of certain notes to the certain shareholders of the predecessor companies at the end of the first six months of 1995. Interest income increased as a result of short term investments for the first nine months of 1996. For the first nine months of 1995, interest and other (income) expense, net, on a pro forma basis was an expense of $0.3 million after the elimination of interest expense on certain notes issued to certain shareholders of the predecessor companies. Net income increased $5.4 million to $31.9 million in the first nine months of 1996 from $26.5 million in the first nine months of 1995. Net income increased by $8.1 million in the first nine months of 1996 from pro forma net income of $23.8 million in the first nine months of 1995. Pro forma net income for the first nine months of 1995 reflects adjustments to give effect to (i) reduced levels of officer compensation described above, (ii) elimination of the consulting contract and royalty expense described above, (iii) elimination of interest expense on certain notes issued to certain shareholders of the predecessor companies described above and (iv) the provision for income taxes at an assumed rate of 39%. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's primary capital needs have been to fund (i) the working capital requirements necessitated by its sales growth, (ii) acquisitions, and (iii) prior to its Initial Public Offering, distributions to its stockholders to satisfy their tax liabilities resulting from the S Corporation status of certain of the Company's predecessor companies. The Company's primary sources of financing have been cash from operations, two equity offerings, and to a lesser extent, bank borrowings. During the first nine months of 1996 the Company received $29.9 million (net of estimated fees and expenses) from the sale of 1,000,000 shares of common and had net repayments of $2.8 million of bank debt.
