FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE STATEMENTS OF INCOME
FINANCIAL CONDITION - The Company's cash, cash equivalents, and temporary
investments increased by $3,944,000 since June 30, 1997. Accounts receivable
increased by $5,732,000 due to increased shipments in the current quarter.
Inventories decreased by $321,000. Capital expenditures were $2,184,000 for
building improvements, manufacturing and delivery equipment. Working capital
increased by $5,973,000 for the nine month period. In the next three months
approximately $400,000 will be spent for manufacturing related equipment.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS - The Company anticipates that demand for its seating
products will continue at current levels for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Management continues to focus on product design for targeted markets to enhance
sales growth and internal improvements in productivity levels and efficiencies
to improve operating profit margins. Based on current backlogs and favorable
economic conditions, including low interest rates, the Company expects operating
profits to continue at or near current levels for the remainder of the fiscal
year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER - Sales increased by approximately
$5,287,000 (9.3%), compared to the prior year quarter. Vehicle Seating volume
increased $3,801,000 (24.2%), with approximately $1,996,000 related to Dygert
Seating, acquired during the third quarter of the prior year, and $1,805,000 in
other Vehicle Seating products. Residential Seating and Commercial Seating
volume increased $1,004,000 (2.8%) and $482,000 (9.4%), respectively, in
comparison to the prior year quarter. Cost of goods sold increased $3,316,000.
With record sales recorded for the quarter, volume related increases were offset
by approximately $850,000 in operating efficiencies and fixed cost absorption.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $757,000 due to the
volume increase. Earnings for the prior year quarter ended March 31, 1997
included net income after tax of approximately $350,000 or $.05 per basic share
from the sale of the idle Sweetwater, Tennessee production facility. Net income
for the current quarter was $2,106,000 or $.30 per basic share compared to
$1,336,000 or $.19 per basic share, when adjusted for the after tax effect of
the aforementioned facility sale, for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE LAST NINE MONTHS - Sales increased by
approximately $14,135,000 (8.9%), compared to the nine month period ended March
31, 1997. Sales of Vehicle Seating products increased $11,830,000 (27.4%), with
approximately $8,686,000 attributable to the Dygert Seating acquisition during
the third quarter of the prior year, and the remaining $3,144,000 attributable
to increases in other Vehicle Seating markets. Residential Seating volume
increased $1,901,000 (1.9%) and Commercial Seating increased $404,000 (2.6%) in
comparison to the prior nine month period. Cost of goods sold increased
$11,075,000 and selling, general, and administrative expenses increased
$2,157,000, both due to the volume increase. Earnings for the current nine month
period include nontaxable other income of $720,000 or $.10 per basic share
resulting from life insurance proceeds following the death of board member and
former senior officer, Mr. Frank H. Bertsch. The nine month year-to-date net
income, when adjusted for life insurance proceeds, was $4,516,000 or $.65 per
basic share, significantly more than income, when adjusted for sale of idle
facility, of $4,001,000 or $.57 per basic share recorded for the nine month
period ended March 31, 1997.
