The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. GEHL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS July 1, 2000 (Unaudited) NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the information furnished for the three- and six-month periods ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999 includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position of the Company. Due in part to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results of operations for the six months ended July 1, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. NOTE 2 INCOME TAXES The income tax provision is determined by applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to income before income taxes. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is based on the most recent annualized forecast of pretax income, permanent book/tax differences, and tax credits. NOTE 3 INVENTORIES If all of the Company's inventories had been valued on a current cost basis, which approximated FIFO value, inventories by major classification would have been as follows (in thousands): July 1, 2000 December 31, 1999 July 3, 1999 Raw materials and supplies $ 17,304 $ 17,371 $ 17,068 Work-in-process 5,388 5,767 5,430 Finished machines and parts 37,612 31,263 25,662 --------- -------- -------- Total current cost value 60,304 54,401 48,160 Adjustment to LIFO basis (19,195) (19,195) (19,396) --------- -------- -------- $ 41,109 $ 35,206 $ 28,764 ======== ======== ======== NOTE 4 ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities" which was originally effective for fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The statement, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and 138, will be effective January 1, 2001 for the Company. Due to the Company's current limited use of derivative instruments, the adoption of this statement is not expected to materially affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations. NOTE 5 EARNINGS PER SHARE AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted- average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares, and, if applicable, common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options. A reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of earnings per share follows (in thousands): For the second quarter ended: July 1, 2000 July 3, 1999 ------------ ------------ Basic shares 5,520 6,467 Effect of options 165 262 ------------ ------------ Diluted shares 5,685 6,729 ============ ============ For the six months ended: July 1, 2000 July 3, 1999 ------------ ------------ Basic shares 5,560 6,461 Effect of options 177 248 ------------ ------------ Diluted shares 5,737 6,709 ============ ============ Accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised entirely of minimum pension liability adjustments. Comprehensive income equaled net income for the six months ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999, as the minimum pension liability amount did not change from the respective prior year-end amount. NOTE 6 STOCK REPURCHASE In March 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to an additional 325,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. As of July 1, 2000, 102,400 shares had been repurchased in the open market under this authorization at an aggregate cost of $1.7 million. In March 1999, a repurchase plan relating to up to 325,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock was authorized. As of April 1, 2000, all of the authorized shares under that plan had been repurchased at an aggregate cost of $5.8 million. The treasury stock acquired by the Company has been cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares. NOTE 7 BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Company operates in two business segments: Construction equipment and Agricultural equipment. The long-term financial performance of the Company's reportable segments are affected by separate economic conditions and cycles. The segments are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations. Following is selected segment information (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended July 1, 2000 July 3, 1999 July 1, 2000 July 3, 1999 Net Sales: Construction $48,892 $51,355 $ 89,195 $ 91,601 Agricultural 28,618 32,493 59,011 61,210 ------- ------- ------- ------- Consolidated $77,510 $83,848 $148,206 $152,811 ======= ======= ======== ======== Income from Operations: Construction $ 6,765 $ 7,599 $ 11,085 $ 12,393 Agricultural 3,210 4,029 6,428 5,472 ------- ------- -------- -------- Consolidated $ 9,975 $11,628 $ 17,513 $ 17,865 ======= ======= ======== ======== Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Results of Operations Three Months Ended July 1, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended July 3, 1999 Net sales for the second quarter of 2000 of $77.5 million were 8% lower than the $83.8 million in the comparable period of 1999. Construction equipment net sales decreased 5% to $48.9 million in the second quarter of 2000 from $51.3 million in the second quarter of 1999. In general, the reduction in Construction equipment sales from the 1999 level was due primarily to the impact of higher interest rates on construction activity, especially in the U.S. housing sector; low equipment rental rates resulting in the deferral of purchases of equipment by some of the Company's customers; and changes in dealers' purchasing patterns, resulting in dealers deferring orders until closer to time of use. With respect to specific product lines, shipments of telescopic handlers for the second quarter of 2000 were below comparable levels of 1999. The Company believes that telescopic handler sales are more closely tied to the U.S. housing construction market than any other construction equipment product sold by the Company. Although Construction equipment sales were down, the Company did realize a positive contribution in the second quarter of 2000 from shipments of new equipment, primarily mini- excavators, introduced within the past twelve months. Agricultural equipment net sales decreased 12% in the second quarter of 2000 to $28.6 million from $32.5 million in the second quarter of 1999 due primarily to lower shipments of forage harvesting equipment and manure spreading equipment. Partially offsetting these reductions was an increased level of disc mower conditioner shipments as a result of new product offerings in 2000. Higher interest rates; the continuation of low milk prices; regional weather conditions; and the fact that dairy farmers purchased higher levels of equipment in 1998 and 1999, in part due to the more favorable milk prices experienced during those years, contributed to the overall decline in demand for agricultural equipment by farmers. Of the Company's total net sales reported for the second quarter of 2000, $9.5 million represented sales made outside of the United States compared with $11.8 million in the comparable period of 1999. The decrease in export sales was due primarily to a reduction in shipments into the Canadian agricultural market and decreased orders from Europe due to a decline in the value of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar. Gross profit decreased $2.6 million, or 11%, during the second quarter of 2000 versus the comparable period of 1999, due primarily to decreased sales volume. Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased to 27.7% for the second quarter of 2000 from 28.8% in the comparable period of 1999. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for Construction equipment decreased to 25.6% in the second quarter of 2000 from 27.5% in the second quarter of 1999. The decrease in Construction equipment gross margin was a function of a) decreased telescopic handler sales, which sales are generally at higher gross margins than other construction equipment, b) increased industry competition which has resulted in overall gross margin compression, and c) increased mini-excavator shipments, which sales are generally at lower gross margins than other construction equipment. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for Agricultural equipment increased to 31.3% in the second quarter of 2000 from 30.8% in the comparable period of 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $989,000, or 8%, during the second quarter of 2000 versus the comparable period of 1999, due primarily to lower sales related costs. As a percent of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly to 14.8% during the second quarter of 2000 versus 14.9% in the comparable period of 1999. Income from operations in the second quarter of 2000 was $10.0 million versus $11.6 million in the second quarter of 1999. Interest expense increased $614,000 to $1,391,000 in the second quarter of 2000 from $777,000 in the second quarter of 1999. This resulted from an increase in average debt outstanding to $61.0 million in the second quarter of 2000 versus $36.2 million in the second quarter of 1999, and an increase in the average rate of interest paid by the Company to 8.6% in the second quarter of 2000 versus 7.6% in the comparable period of 1999. Other expense increased $361,000 to $1,138,000 in the second quarter of 2000 from $777,000 in the second quarter of 1999. This was caused by increased costs of sales of finance contracts which resulted from a) selling $4.3 million more receivables in the second quarter of 2000 versus the comparable period in 1999, b) lower finance rates offered to Gehl finance customers, and c) increased discount rates used in selling finance contracts to third parties resulting from the general trend of overall interest rates. Second quarter 2000 net income was $5.1 million versus $6.8 million in the second quarter of 1999. Diluted earnings were $.90 per share for the second quarter of 2000 versus $1.01 per share in the second quarter of 1999. Six Months Ended July 1, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended July 3, 1999 Net sales for the first six months of 2000 of $148.2 million were $4.6 million, or 3%, lower than the $152.8 million of net sales in the comparable period of 1999. Construction equipment net sales decreased 3% to $89.2 million in the first six months of 2000 from $91.6 million in the first six months of 1999. In general, the reduction in Construction equipment sales from the 1999 level was due primarily to the impact of higher interest rates on construction activity, especially in the U.S. housing sector; low equipment rental rates resulting in the deferral of purchases of equipment by some of the Company's customers; and changes in dealers' purchasing patterns, resulting in dealers deferring orders until closer to time of use. With respect to specific product lines, shipments of telescopic handlers for the first six months of 2000 were below comparable levels of 1999 which was reflective of a reduction in retail sales activity of telescopic handers throughout the industry for the first six months of 2000. Although Construction equipment sales were down, the Company did realize a positive contribution in the first six months of 2000 from shipments of new equipment, primarily mini-excavators, introduced within the past twelve months. Agriculture equipment net sales decreased 4% to $59.0 million in the first six months of 2000 from $61.2 million in the first six months of 1999 due primarily to reduced shipments of forage harvesting equipment. Partially offsetting this reduction was an increased level of disc mower conditioner shipments as a result of new product offerings in 2000. Higher interest rates; continuation of low milk prices; regional weather conditions; and the fact that dairy farmers purchased higher levels of equipment in 1998 and 1999, in part due to the more favorable milk prices experienced during those years, contributed to the overall decline in demand for agricultural equipment by farmers. Of the Company's total net sales reported for the first six months of 2000, sales made outside the United States of $20.3 million were comparable to the level of international sales experienced in the first six months of 1999. As the Company has increased its sale of Construction equipment products, the Company has been successful in reducing the seasonality of its sales. However, some sales seasonality still remains, primarily in the Company's second quarter which historically has tended to be its strongest quarter for sales. Gross profit decreased $2.1 million, or 5%, in the first six months of 2000 versus the comparable period of 1999, due primarily to decreased sales volume. Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased to 27.5% for the first six months of 2000 from 28.1% in the comparable period of 1999. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for Construction equipment decreased to 25.5% in the first six months of 2000 from 27.1% in the first six months of 1999. The decrease in Construction equipment gross margin was a function of a) decreased telescopic handler sales, which sales are generally at higher gross margins than other construction equipment, b) increased industry competition which has resulted in overall gross margin compression, and c) increased mini-excavator shipments, which sales are generally at lower gross margins than other construction equipment. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for Agriculture equipment increased to 30.6% for the first six months of 2000 from 29.5% for the first six months of 1999, due in part to improved efficiencies at the manufacturing plants. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.8 million, or 7%, during the first six months of 2000 versus the comparable period of 1999, due primarily to lower selling related costs in 2000 versus 1999. As a percent of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 15.7% during the first six months of 2000 versus 16.4% in the comparable period of 1999. Income from operations in the first six months of 2000 of $17.5 million was 2% lower than the $17.9 million for the comparable period of 1999. Interest expense increased $710,000 to $2.3 million in the first six months of 2000 from $1.6 million in the first six months of 1999. The increase was a result of an increase in average debt outstanding to $51.2 million in the first six months of 2000 versus $35.7 million in the comparable period of 1999 combined with an increase in the average rate of interest paid by the Company to approximately 8.5% in the first six months of 2000 versus 7.7% in the comparable period of 1999. Other expense increased $706,000 to $1,923,000 for the six months ended July 1, 2000 from $1,217,000 for the six months ended July 3, 1999. This was caused by increased costs of sales of finance contracts which resulted from a) selling $4.6 million more receivables in the first six months of 2000 versus the same period in 1999, b) lower finance rates offered to Gehl finance customers, and c) increased discount rates used in selling finance contracts to third parties resulting from the general trend of overall interest rates. Net income was $9.2 million for the six months ended July 1, 2000 versus $10.3 million for the six months ended July 3, 1999. Because of the reduced number of outstanding shares of Company stock as of July 1, 2000, compared to July 3, 1999, resulting from stock repurchased by the Company during the twelve month period, earnings per diluted share for the first six months of 2000 of $1.60 per share exceeded the $1.53 per diluted share reported for the first six months of 1999. Based upon the market conditions described above, the Company expects earnings for the year ended December 31, 2000 to be less than the earnings realized for the year ended December 31, 1999. Financial Condition The Company's working capital of $99.4 million at July 1, 2000 increased from $69.5 million at December 31, 1999, and $71.8 million at July 3, 1999 due primarily to increases in accounts and finance contracts receivable and inventory. The increase in inventories at July 1, 2000 compared to July 3, 1999 reflects the impact of new products offered since mid-1999 combined with an inventory build-up resulting from the slowing sales trend. The Company has adjusted production levels in an attempt to reduce inventory in accordance with current market demand. Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment during the first six months of 2000 were approximately $8.5 million. The Company plans to make up to $15 million in capital expenditures in 2000. Outstanding capital expenditure commitments as of July 1, 2000 totaled approximately $3 million. As of July 1, 2000, the weighted-average interest rate paid by the Company on outstanding borrowings under its line of credit facility was 8.5%. The Company had available unused borrowing capacity of $19.8 million, $49.8 million and $60.2 million under the line of credit facility at July 1, 2000, December 31, 1999, and July 3, 1999, respectively. At July 1, 2000, December 31, 1999, and July 3, 1999, the borrowings outstanding under the line of credit facility were $53.3 million, $22.0 million and $13.4 million, respectively. The increased amounts outstanding under the line of credit facility at July 1, 2000 were primarily the result of borrowings used to repurchase Company stock, expand plant facilities and fund working capital increases. The sale of finance contracts is an important component of the Company's overall liquidity. The Company has arrangements with several financial institutions and financial service companies to sell, with recourse, its finance contracts receivable. The Company continues to service substantially all contracts whether or not sold. At July 1, 2000, the Company serviced $127.3 million of such contracts, of which $101.5 million were owned by other parties. The Company believes that it has sufficient capacity to sell its retail finance contracts for the foreseeable future. Shareholders' equity at July 1, 2000 was $103.2 million. This was $1.3 million lower than the $104.5 million of shareholders' equity at July 3, 1999, due primarily to the $22.1 million expended to repurchase Company stock from July 4, 1999 to July 1, 2000 which was substantially offset by income earned during the same period. In March 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to an additional 325,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. As of July 1, 2000, 102,400 shares had been repurchased in the open market under this authorization at an aggregate cost of $1.7 million. In March 1999, a repurchase plan relating to up to 325,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock was authorized. As of April 1, 2000, all of the authorized shares under that plan had been repurchased at an aggregate cost of $5.8 million. Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities" which was originally effective for fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The statement, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and 138, will be effective January 1, 2001 for the Company. Due to the Company's current limited use of derivative instruments, the adoption of this statement is not expected to materially affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Forward-Looking Statements Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are "forward-looking statements" intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
