Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations --------------------- Third Quarter Fiscal Year 1996 versus Third Quarter Fiscal Year --------------------------------------------------------------- 1995 ---- Consolidated net sales for the third quarter were a record $34,228,000, an increase of 14.4% or $4,312,000 from a year ago. Strong promotional sales by all of the operating units along with sales of approximately $2,000,000 for 3-IN-ONE products helped to achieve these results. Management continues to expect record levels of net sales for the remainder of fiscal year 1996. Costs of product sold for the quarter increased to 45.2% of net sales versus 44.2% last year, due to inflationary pressures, the added costs associated with promotional sales and the higher cost of sales related to 3-IN-ONE products. It is anticipated that these costs as a percentage of net sales will remain at these higher levels. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter increased by $1,721,000 or 29.2% due to increased professional services expenses. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses increased to 22.2% as compared to 19.7% last year. Advertising and sales promotion expenses increased by $271,000 in support of the sales growth. As a percentage of net sales these expenses were 10.0% versus 10.5% a year ago. These expenses are expected to remain within the historic range of 9% to 10% of net sales throughout the remainder of fiscal year 1996. Amortization of goodwill and investments includes amortization of the low income housing investment and the acquisition of certain intangible assets relating to the 3-IN-ONE brand from affiliates of Reckitt & Colman plc. Net interest decreased $240,000 due to the reduction of short-term investments which were used to finance the acquisition of 3-IN-ONE. Other income (expense) increased $158,000 primarily due to the increase in exchange gains from U.K. sales denominated in foreign currencies. Net income increased $140,000 or 2.9% due to the factors discussed above. Net income as a percentage of net sales was 14.7% this quarter versus 16.4% in the third quarter of fiscal year 1995.
WD-40 COMPANY (U.S.) - -------------------- 1996 vs. 1995 Net sales increased $2,266,000 or 10.5%. Export sales to Latin - ------------- America and the Pacific Rim were up approximately 40%, and domestic sales were up 8%. Strong promotional sales accounted for these gains. Cost of product sold as a percentage of net sales was 46.4% versus 45.4% in fiscal year 1995. This increase was due to the additional costs of the promotional packaging, inflation and the higher costs of sales related to 3-IN-ONE products. It is anticipated that these costs as a percentage of sales will decrease. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,261,000 or 31.7% and, as a percentage of net sales, were 22.0% versus 18.5% last year. In addition to the normal increases in general overhead, there was some inflation in freight and travel expenses due to rising petroleum prices. Legal and professional expenses increased for the quarter, and there were additional expenses associated with our strategic planning for business continuity. For example, we have implemented a computer network with main frame backup, linking all of the regional sales offices and contract aerosol packagers in North America with San Diego. Advertising and sales promotion expenses increased by $373,000 or 16.2%, attributable primarily to the promotional sales. Advertising and sales promotion expenses amounted to 11.2% of net sales versus 10.7% in the third quarter of fiscal year 1995. Amortization of goodwill and investments was $307,000 in the third quarter of fiscal year 1996 versus $83,000 in the third quarter of fiscal year 1995. The increase largely resulted from the amortization of goodwill related to the acquisition of 3-IN-ONE in December 1995. Net income decreased $369,000 or 11.7% from last year due to the increased costs and expenses as described above. WD-40 Company Ltd. (U.K.) - ------------------------- 1996 vs. 1995 Net sales for the third quarter were up $1,884,000 or 29.7% - ------------- reflecting strong promotional sales in the U.K., Europe and the Middle East for WD-40 and the additional sales of 3-IN-ONE. However note that the currency translation of U.K. pounds to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes was down 4.9% from 1995. Cost of product sold also increased because of the promotional packaging and was 40.9% of net sales versus 38.2% a year ago. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $398,000 or 27.9%; however, as a percentage of net sales, were down slightly from 22.4% in the third quarter of last year to 22.1% this quarter. Advertising and promotional expenses were down to 6.3% of net sales versus 9.9% last year due entirely to the timing of promotions. 8
Net income increased by $521,000 or 37.7% and represented 23.1% of net sales versus 21.8% last year. Other Foreign Subsidiaries - -------------------------- 1996 vs. 1995 Net sales increased $161,000 or 8.0% due primarily to the - ------------- improvement of the retail economy in Canada. Cost of product sold as a percentage of net sales was 49.5% versus 50.4% in the third quarter last year. Net income increased $53,000 or 18.5%. Nine Months Fiscal Year 1996 versus Nine Months Fiscal Year 1995 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Consolidated net sales were $96,920,000, an increase of $7,846,000 or 8.8% over fiscal year 1995. This increase was generated primarily by increased foreign sales and the addition of 3-IN-ONE sales which were approximately $3,000,000. Cost of product sold as a percentage of net sales was 43.6% versus 42.8% last year. This increase was due to the additional cost of promotional packaging and inflationary cost increases. Selling, general and administrative expenses were up $2,312,000 or 12.9% and, as a percentage of net sales, these expenses were 20.9% versus 20.1% last year. In addition to other inflationary increases, freight and travel expenses were up primarily due to rising petroleum prices, legal and professional expenses increased, and there were additional expenses associated with strategic planning for business continuity as discussed above. Advertising and sales promotion expenses were also up by 5.4% or $445,000; however, these expenses declined as a percentage of net sales to 8.9% versus 9.2% last year. These expenses are expected to return to their historic range of 9% to 10% of net sales by fiscal year end. Amortization of goodwill and investments during the first nine months of fiscal year 1996 was $667,000 versus $250,000 in the prior year. Net interest income decreased $454,000 mainly due to the reduction of short-term investments which were used to finance the acquisition of 3-IN-ONE. Other income increased $174,000 due primarily to the increase in exchange gains from U.K. sales denominated in foreign currencies. Net income increased slightly from last year due to the factors discussed above. 9
WD-40 Company (U.S.) - -------------------- Net sales increased $2,986,000 as a result of higher export sales to the Pacific Rim and Latin America where sales increased approximately 40%. Domestic sales were up 1.2% due to the addition of 3-IN-ONE. Cost of product sold as a percent of net sales increased to 44.5% versus 43.7% in 1995 due to both the additional cost of promotional packaging and inflation in raw material costs. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 21.4% from 19.1% in 1995. Advertising and promotion expenses as a percentage of net sales were up slightly to 9.4% versus 9.3% of last year. Net income decreased 13.6% or $1,441,000 due to increased costs and expenses as described above. WD-40 Company Ltd. (U.K.) - ------------------------- Net sales increased $3,738,000 or 19.4%, due to strong promotional sales in the U.K., Europe, and the Middle East and the addition of 3-IN-ONE. However, the currency translation of U.K. pounds to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes was down 3.1%. Cost of product sold as a percentage of net sales increased to 39.6% versus 38.1% in 1995 due to the additional cost of promotional packaging. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 10.9% or $468,000; however as a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased to 20.8% versus 22.4% last year. Advertising and promotion expenses increased 8.4% or $140,000 due to the timing of promotions during the year. Net income increased $1,439,000 or 33.3% over the previous year primarily due to the combined effect of the factors discussed above. Other Foreign Subsidiaries - -------------------------- Net sales increased 19.9% or $1,122,000 due to the rebound of sales in Canada. Cost of product sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 48.2% versus 49.5% in 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 16.4% of net sales versus 19.4% in 1995. 10
Advertising and promotion expenses decreased to 8.3% of net sales versus 10.2% in 1995. Net income increased $230,000 or 23.0% due to the increased sales. Price Increases - --------------- The Company did not initiate any price increases during this quarter. Cash and Cash Equivalents - ------------------------- Cash and cash equivalents increased $4,574,000 during the three months ended May 31, 1996 versus a decrease of $1,874,000 for the comparable quarter of last year. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The current ratio of 3.7 to one on May 31, 1996 was less than the current ratio of 4.5 to one in August 31, 1995 largely due to the cash paid to acquire all of the worldwide 3-IN-ONE brand trademarks, other related intangible assets, and inventory. The Company's primary source of liquidity is funds provided by operations. The Company anticipates its cash flows from operations will provide sufficient funds to meet both short and long-term operating needs, as well as future dividends. Capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 1996 are expected to total approximately $400,000 principally for replacement of aged vehicles and updating computer equipment. 11
