Unless otherwise indicated the following paragraphs which discuss variances in operating income exclude the charges in 1994 and 1993 for facilities consolidation, cost reduction actions, and reserves for losses on early disposal of operating assets.
Consolidated sales rose from $996 million in the second quarter of 1993 to $1,130 million in the second quarter of 1994, a gain of 13% (16% excluding the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange). Operating income (excluding the unusual charges described previously) in the second quarter of 1994 was $129 million compared with $76 million in the second quarter of 1993, an increase of $53 million, or 70% (with little effect from foreign exchange).
Consolidated sales for the first half of 1994 of $2,120 million were up by $245 million, or 13% (16% excluding the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange). Operating income for the first half of 1994 was $217 million, up $59 million, or 37% (40% excluding the effects of foreign exchange), from $158 million in the comparable period of 1993.
Sales of Air Conditioning Products increased 17% (with little effect from foreign exchange) to $648 million in the second quarter of 1994 from $556 million in the 1993 quarter. The Unitary Products Group achieved a gain of 18% because of higher volume (as a result of improved residential and commercial markets) and a shift to newer, larger-capacity, higher-efficiency products, offset partly by the effect of lower prices for certain products due to competitive pressures. Sales of the Commercial Systems Group increased by 13% primarily because of improved markets, gains in market share, and the acquisition of sales offices in the latter half of 1993. For the International Group sales increased 20%, with gains in the Far East, Latin America, and European operations, principally from higher volumes. Sales for Air Conditioning Products in the first half of 1994 increased by 18% to $1,168 million from $992 million in the first half of 1993, for the reasons cited for the second quarter.
Operating income of Air Conditioning Products increased 74% (excluding the unusual charges described previously), from $42 million in the second quarter of 1993 to $73 million in the second quarter of 1994. This gain was primarily the result of increased operating income for the Unitary Products Group and the Commercial Systems Group because of higher sales and cost reductions. The International Group experienced an overall decrease in income as declines for the European Group and for Latin America were partly offset by a gain for the Far East operations. First-half operating income for Air Conditioning Products was up 50% from the first half of 1993 principally for the reasons mentioned for the second quarter.
Partially offsetting those gains in the second quarter and first half of 1994 were $7 million of charges in the second quarter related to the implementation of cost reduction actions. The second quarter of 1993 included $5 million of charges for plant closings and other cost reduction actions. Including such charges, operating income increased by 78% in the quarter and 51% in the half.
Sales of Plumbing Products increased 1% (5% excluding the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange) to $301 million for the second quarter of 1994 from $299 million for the second quarter of 1993. The exchange-adjusted improvement resulted from sales increases of 5% for the European Plumbing Products Group, 3% for the U.S. Plumbing Products Group, and 7% for the Far East and Americas International Groups on a combined basis. Sales of the European group increased primarily because of volume gains as economic conditions continued to show modest improvement. For the International Group exchange-adjusted sales increased for the Far East group and for the Americas International group primarily because of higher volumes. Sales increased for the Far East group despite the deconsolidation of operations in China which in April 1994 were contributed to a new joint venture. Sales of the U.S. Plumbing Products Group for the second quarter of 1994 increased 3% over the comparable 1993 quarter as a result of an expanded retail customer base. For the first half of 1994 sales of the Plumbing Products Group were $597 million, the same level as in the first half of 1993, but increased by 4% excluding the adverse effects of foreign exchange principally for the reasons cited for the second quarter.
Operating income of Plumbing Products was $40 million (excluding the unusual charges described previously) in the 1994 quarter compared with $29 million in the second quarter of 1993, an increase of 38% (42% excluding the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange). Results for the U.S. Plumbing Products Group improved because of the increased sales and cost reductions at manufacturing facilities. Operating income for the European Plumbing Products Group also increased, primarily because of price and volume gains in the U.K. and Germany. Operating income of the Far East and Americas International Groups on a combined basis increased because of the higher sales. For the first half of 1994 operating income for Plumbing Products increased by 18% (24% excluding the effects of foreign exchange), primarily for the reasons explained for the second quarter.
More than offsetting these improvements were certain charges which caused
operating income to decrease by 25% in the quarter and 9% in the half as
compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. In connection with
an evaluation of its North American plumbing products operations, the Company
determined that certain assets (principally machinery and equipment used in
the production of chinaware) will be disposed of prior to the expiration of
their originally estimated useful lives. In recognition of the anticipated
loss on disposal, the Company provided a reserve of $14 million in the second
quarter of 1994. In addition the Company provided $5 million of charges
related to implementation of cost reduction actions. Similar charges in the
second quarter of 1993 were $1 million.
Sales of Transportation Products in the second quarter of 1994 were $181 million, compared with $141 million in the second quarter of 1993, an increase of 28% (31% excluding the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange). More than half of the gain was driven by a 24% increase in the unit volume of truck production in Western Europe and a 5% increase in aftermarket sales. Sales volumes were significantly higher in the U.K. (as a result of the growing automobile business in that country), in Sweden (where truck manufacturing increased by approximately 50%,) and in Brazil, France and Spain where demand increased significantly. Sales gains were also achieved in most other countries in which this group operates. In addition approximately 40% of this gain was from the sales of Perrot, a German brake manufacturer which was acquired in January 1994. First-half 1994 sales were up 24% (28% excluding the effects of foreign exchange) to $355 million from $286 million in the first half of 1993, for the same reasons.
Operating income for Transportation Products was $16 million (excluding the unusual charges described previously) in the second quarter of 1994 compared with $5 million in the second quarter of 1993, an increase of $11 million (with little effect from foreign exchange). The increase was primarily because of the increased sales volume and the effect of cost reductions. Those favorable factors were partly offset by the effects of lower prices in Europe. In addition, the new Perrot operation experienced a small loss. For the six-month period operating income increased 55%, from $22 million in the 1993 period to $34 million in 1994. Factors affecting the six-month period comparisons were essentially the same as those affecting the second quarter comparison.
Offsetting the improvements in the second quarter of 1994 were charges of $14 million related to the consolidation of production facilities and implementation of other cost reduction actions. Charges of a similar nature in the second quarter of 1993 totalled $2 million. Including these charges, operating income in the quarter and the half were essentially flat at $2 million and $20 million, respectively.
Financial Review
The Company's financing and corporate costs for the second quarter of 1994 were $85 million, down from $96 million in the 1993 quarter. Such items in the first half of 1994 were $170 million, down from the $188 million in the 1993 period. For both the quarter and the six months interest expense decreased as a result of lower overall interest rates on debt issued as part of the major refinancing in 1993.
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1994, the income tax provisions were $15 million and $32 million, respectively, on pre-tax income of $4 million for the quarter and $7 million for the six months. The tax provisions for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1993, were $6 million and $14 million, respectively, despite losses (before taxes and extraordinary item) of $28 million and $38 million, respectively. These
provisions reflected the annualized estimate of taxes payable on those foreign operations that are expected to be profitable, offset partly in the 1993 periods by tax benefits from certain foreign net operating losses. The provision for the first six months of 1994 was adversely affected by less favorable tax treatment with respect to certain foreign income. The unusual relationship between the pre-tax results and the tax provision for all periods is explained by the nondeductibility for tax purposes of the amortization of goodwill and other purchase accounting adjustments and the share allocations made by the Company's ESOP as well as by tax rate differences and withholding taxes on foreign earnings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has a highly leveraged capital structure. Net cash provided by operating activities, after cash interest paid of $93 million, was $41 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. The Company borrowed $54 million under the $250 million Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolver") available under the Company's 1993 credit agreement. Working capital invested in operations increased by $96 million compared with an increase of $82 million in the comparable period of 1993. These increases are principally a result of increased inventories and receivables, following a seasonal pattern typical of the first half in past years and expected to recur in the future. The Company also devoted $45 million to capital expenditures, including $13 million of investments in affiliated companies, and repaid $54 million of bank term loans.
The Company believes that the amounts available from operating cash flows, funds available under the Revolver, or potential long-term debt or equity financing sources will be sufficient to meet its expected cash needs including planned capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.
As of June 30, 1994, there was $133 million available under the Revolver after reduction for borrowings and for $55 million of letters of credit outstanding thereunder. In addition, the Company's foreign subsidiaries had $45 million available under overdraft facilities. These foreign facilities can be withdrawn by the banks at any time.
In February 1994 the Company obtained an amendment to the credit agreement that among other things relaxed certain financial tests and covenants. The Company currently believes it will comply with the amended financial tests and covenants but may have to obtain similar amendments or waivers in the future.
