FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONDENSED STATEMENT
OF EARNINGS
Financial Condition - On March 18, 1997 the Company announced the completion of
the acquisition of the assets of Dygert Seating, Inc. and the related production
facilities in Elkhart, Indiana for approximately $7,000,000. The purchase was
financed internally by liquidating temporary investments. The purchase included
accounts receivable $1,600,000, inventory $1,500,000, and fixed assets of
$3,900,000.
Additionally, during March the Company completed a sale of its idle production
facility in Sweetwater, Tennessee for $1,000,000. The sale resulted in a gain of
approximately $550,000 before income taxes and is reported as other income.
Excluding the transactions outlined above, the operations of the Company
produced a net cash and temporary investment increase of $968,000. Accounts
receivable increased $3,143,000 and inventories declined $750,000 compared to
June 30, 1996. Capital expenditures were $3,777,000 for manufacturing and
delivery equipment. In the next three months approximately $1,000,000 will be
spent for production related equipment.
The Company has repurchased 250,045 shares of its common stock for $2,710,353 as
authorized by the Board of Directors and announced through a release dated
February 1, 1996. Approximately 44% of the 500,000 shares of Company stock
authorized for purchase on the open market are still available for purchase by
the Company.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS - The Company anticipates the demand for its seating
products will continue at current moderate levels over the remainder of the
fiscal year. In addition, sales attributable to the Dygert acquisition should
approximate $6,000,000, over the next three months. Management continues to
focus on internal improvements in the areas of product line simplification, cost
savings identification and implementation, and manufacturing process
efficiencies. Operating profits should improve as a result of these strategies.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER - Sales for the current quarter increased
by approximately $3,590,000 (6.7%), compared to the prior year quarter. Sales
increased $2,569,000 (7.7%) in Home Furnishings, Recreational Vehicle increased
$636,000 (4.2%), and Commercial Seating increased $385,000 (8.1%). Cost of goods
sold increased by $3,477,000 due to the increased volume, and approximately
$650,000 of additional costs associated with increased costs for labor and
materials, margin erosion, and start up of Dygert operations.
Selling, general, and administrative costs increased by $296,000 due to volume.
Other income increased by $550,000 due mainly to the gain on sale of the
Sweetwater, Tennessee production facility. The aforementioned changes resulted
in an increase in net income after taxes of $253,000, or $.04 per share,
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE LAST NINE MONTHS - Sales increased by $8,757,000
(5.8%) compared to the nine month period ended March 31, 1996. Sales increased
$4,835,000 (5.0%) in Home Furnishings, $1,347,000 (3.2%) in Recreational Vehicle
Products and by $2,575,000 (20.1%) in Commercial Seating. Cost of goods sold
increased by $6,038,000 due primarily to the volume increase, however, prior
year results include $470,000 associated with closing the Sweetwater, Tennessee
production facility.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $637,000. The Company
was able to absorb approximately $975,000 of volume related increases through
lower bad debt provision and fixed cost control. Interest and other income
increased by $681,000 primarily due to the gain on the sale of the Tennessee
facility. The aforementioned changes resulted in an increase in net income after
taxes of $1,774,000, or $.26 per share, compared to the nine month period ended
March 31, 1996.
