Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2002
(Dollars in thousands)
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
This report covers North American Van Lines, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company").
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the aforementioned financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles are condensed or omitted. Management of the Company believes the interim financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior periods presented to conform with the June 30, 2002 presentation.
(2) Acquisitions and Related Party
On April 12, 2002, the Company purchased the assets ("NAIT") of the National Association of Independent Truckers, a leading provider of insurance services to independent contract truck drivers, for $25,359 in cash, $3,611 in assumed net liabilities and a deferred amount of $3,000 payable subject to the completion of certain operating performance objectives during 2002 and 2003. NAIT is an association of more than 11,000 independent contract truck drivers that provides its members with occupational accident, physical damage and non-trucking liability insurance, as well as access to a suite of professional services. The purchase price was funded from the sale of securities, existing cash balances and $20,000 of cash contributions from SIRVA, Inc. ("SIRVA"), the Company's parent. SIRVA obtained those proceeds from the sale of its common stock to Clayton, Dubilier and Rice Fund VI Limited Partnership, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership managed by Clayton, Dubilier and Rice, Inc. ("Fund VI"), and an affiliate of Fund V, the controlling shareholder of SIRVA. The cost to acquire NAIT has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed according to estimated fair values and is subject to adjustment when additional information concerning asset and liability valuations are finalized. The preliminary allocation has resulted in acquired goodwill of $33,501.
On May 3, 2002, SIRVA, through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, purchased the business ("CRS") conducted by Cooperative Resource Services, Ltd. that provides comprehensive relocation services to companies and their employees, including home sale services, relocation coordinaton services and mortgage lending services. One of these two subsidiaries, which is wholly-owned by the Company, purchased such business' acquired assets and equity other than equity relating to certain mortgage lending operations of the seller. The mortgage lending operations of the seller were purchased by the other subsidiary, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SIRVA. The mortgage lending operations share common customers with CRS. Subject to certain adjustments, the combined cash purchase price for the acquisitions was approximately $60,000, of which $3,500 was paid for the assets of the mortgage lending operations. Approximately $45,000 of the purchase price was paid in cash and $15,000 (non-cash) was paid in notes issued by the Company. In addition, certain liabilities relating to the acquired business were assumed in connection with the acquisition including $26,572 of indebtedness under a revolving credit facility used to fund the mortgage lending operations, which was assumed by the SIRVA acquisition subsidiary. The cash purchase price for the acquisition, as well as approximately $24,100 of other indebtedness of the acquired business that was retired as part of the
6
acquisition, were financed with proceeds of $36,500 of cash contributions from SIRVA. SIRVA obtained those proceeds from the sale of its common stock to Fund VI and the incurrence of $50,000 additional senior indebtedness. The cost to acquire CRS has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed according to estimated fair values and is subject to adjustment when additional information concerning asset and liability valuations are finalized. The preliminary allocation has resulted in acquired goodwill of $81,194.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated information presents the results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition of CRS had taken place at the beginning of each period presented:

(3) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents of $22,447 and $13,474, relating to the Company's wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries, at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, require regulatory agency approval prior to being used for non-insurance related purposes.
(4) Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets consisted of the following:
|

||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

$ | 528,607 | $ | 413,229 | |||

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are as follows:
|

---|---|---|---|---|

CRS | 81,194 | |||
Other acquisitions | 683 | |||
Balance as of June 30, 2002 | $ | 362,937 | ||
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but rather be tested for impairment at least annually. The company adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002 and has discontinued the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Trade names consist of the brand names northAmerican, Allied, Pickfords and Allied Pickfords. Goodwill and intangible assets have been identified as having indefinite useful lives and were tested for impairment consistent with the provisions of SFAS 142. The Company completed such testing during the second quarter of 2002 and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill and intangible assets as of January 1, 2002.
The carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each reportable business segment was as follows:
|

||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Pro forma net income (loss) | $ | 7,009 | $ | (3,483 | ) | $ | 3,702 | $ | 3,090 | ||||
(5) Income Taxes
The Company's estimated provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the federal and state statutory rates. This is primarily due to (1) the non-deductibility of certain items expensed for book purposes and (2) limitations that exist on the availability of certain foreign income tax credits. These items create taxable income that is greater than income reported for financial statement purposes.
(6) Long-term Debt
Long-term debt consisted of the following:
|
June 30, 2002 |
December 31, 2001 |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Revolving credit facility | $ | 40,000 | | |||
Note payableTranche A | 124,709 | $ | 135,000 | |||
Note payableTranche B | 209,887 | 171,500 | ||||
Senior subordinated notes | 150,000 | 150,000 | ||||
Other | 16,258 | 868 | ||||
Total debt | 540,854 | 457,368 | ||||
Less current maturities | 16,052 | 16,958 | ||||
Total long-term debt | $ | 524,802 | $ | 440,410 | ||
On April 30, 2002, as part of the financing of the acquisition of CRS, the Company amended its credit agreement to increase Note PayableTranche B by $50,000. The incremental facility is subject to the same terms and conditions of the credit agreement.
On May 3, 2002, as part of the financing of the acquisition of CRS, the Company issued two 10% notes payable, Seller Note A amounting to $10,000, and Seller Note B amounting to $5,000 (the "Seller Notes"). The Seller Notes are subordinated to the Company's senior debt. Seller Note A is due May 3, 2007. Seller Note B is due May 3, 2012 or May 3, 2007 if certain conditions are met. On a quarterly basis, 50% of the interest on the outstanding principal amount will accrete and be added to the
9
principal amount and 50% will be paid in cash. The amount of accretion at June 30, 2002 was $79 and $50 of Seller Note A and Seller Note B, respectively.
During the second quarter 2002, the Company determined that, due to the nature of the revolving credit facility borrowings, it should be classified as a component of long-term debt. The revolving credit facility is a component of the Company's credit agreement, which matures in 2006.
(7) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Litigation
The Company and certain subsidiaries are defendants in numerous lawsuits relating principally to motor carrier operations. In the opinion of management, after consulting with its legal counsel, the amount of the Company's ultimate liability resulting from these matters will not materially affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity; however, such liability may be material to any given quarter.
(b) Environmental Matters
The Company is named as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") in two environmental cleanup proceedings by federal or state authorities and one additional environmental clean-up proceeding by a group of PRP's. The suits are brought under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or other federal or state statutes. Based on all known information, it is estimated that the settlement cost of each PRP site would not be materially or significantly larger than the litigation reserves established, which totaled $35 as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. It is possible that additional claims or lawsuits involving now unidentified environmental sites may arise in the future.
The Company owns or has owned and leases or has leased facilities at which underground storage tanks for diesel fuel are located and operated. Management believes that the Company has taken the appropriate and necessary action with regard to releases of diesel fuel that have occurred. Based on its assessment of the facts and circumstances now known and after consulting with its legal counsel, management believes that it has recorded appropriate estimates of liability for those environmental matters of which the Company is aware. Further, management believes it is unlikely that any identified matters, either individually or in aggregate, will have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity. As conditions may exist on these properties related to environmental problems that are latent or undisclosed, there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur liabilities or costs, the amount of which cannot be estimated reliably at this time.
(c) Purchase Commitments
The Company has entered into certain purchase commitments primarily for trailers and software licenses in the amount of $7,063 and $9,844 as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. See Note (10) Subsequent Events for additional purchase commitments for information systems outsourcing.
10
(8) Operating Segments
Due to the acquisitions described in Note (2), the Company realigned certain businesses within its segment structure and created two additional segments. As of June 30, 2002, the Company has five reportable segments1. Moving Services-North America, 2. Moving Services-Europe and Asia Pacific, 3. Insurance Services, 4. Relocation Services and 5. Logistics Services. Segments 1. through 4. comprise Global Relocation Services. Intersegment transactions, principally relating to international operations, are recorded at market rates as determined by management. The consolidation process results in the appropriate elimination of intercompany transactions, with revenues reflected in the segment responsible for billing the end customer. Prior period segment information has been restated to reflect these changes.
The Moving Services-North America segment provides domestic and international residential moving services, operating as North American Van Lines, Allied Van Lines and Global Van Lines, through a network of exclusive agents. It provides packing, loading, transportation, delivery and warehousing services for any type of household move in the U.S., Canada and also coordinates these same services for customers on a global basis.
The Moving Services-Europe and Asia Pacific segment, operating principally as Pickfords or Allied Pickfords, operates in the United Kingdom, portions of Europe, Australia, New Zealand and other Asia Pacific locations and provides complete domestic and international moving and relocation services. It also provides a full range of office and industrial moving services including records management in most of the aforementioned locations.
The Insurance Services segment provides coverage against loss from certain risks, primarily cargo warehousing, commercial auto physical damage, commercial auto liability and general liability to agents, owner-operators affiliated with the Company and various other parties in the transportation industry. It is comprised of Transguard, a multiple-line property and casualty insurance company, and NAIT, a leading provider of insurance services to independent contract truck drivers.
The Relocation Services segment is comprised of CRS, a business that provides comprehensive relocation services nationally to companies and their employees, including home sale services and relocation coordination services.
The Logistics Services segment operates in North America, the United Kingdom and mainland Europe and provides specialized transportation, handling and delivery services to principally electronics, medical equipment and other suppliers of sensitive goods with unique service requirements. It also provides customized logistics solutions including serialized tracking, inventory and stock management, in-transit product merge and configuration and other customized services principally to customers with unique requirements. It also provides freight forwarding and brokerage services to customers, as well as vehicle and driver services to the Company, agents and owner-operators.

In June 2001, the Company's Logistics Services operating segment established a program to exit the Parts Center business. The charges included severance and employee benefit costs for 293 employees, lease and asset impairment costs to shut down and exit the Parts Center business by the end of 2001. Due to lease terms and severance agreements, certain payments will continue through September 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the restructuring accrual was reduced when the Company was able to sublease certain Parts Centers facilities sooner than originally estimated. As of June 30, 2002, 293 employees had been terminated.
(10) Subsequent Events
On July 1, 2002, the Company entered into a ten year purchase commitment totaling $182,632 with Covansys Corporation and Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. to provide outsourcing services for 100% of the Company's information systems infrastructure, including data center operations and telecommunications, and, initially, 50% of application software development. Covansys Corporation is a portfolio holding of Clayton, Dubilier and Rice Fund VI Limited Partnership, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, a shareholder of SIRVA that is managed by Clayton, Dubilier and Rice, Inc. and an affiliate of the controlling shareholder of SIRVA, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund V Limited Partnership.
On July 29, 2002, a subsidiary of SIRVA, RS Acquisition, LLC, acquired The Rowan Group PLC (UK) and Rowan Simmons Conveyancing Limited (UK) ("Rowan Simmons"), a U.K. based provider of relocation services, including home sale and purchase assistance, management of tenant responsibilities, and other services to corporations that assist employees in their relocation needs, for approximately $14,000. The purchase price was funded from the proceeds of a loan from Fleet National Bank. Under the terms of a purchase agreement between RS Acquisition, LLC and the Company, the Company will acquire Rowan Simmons from RS Acquisition, LLC within six months from the date of purchase for approximately $14,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
On April 12, 2002, we purchased the assets ("NAIT") of the National Association of Independent Truckers a leading provider of insurance services to independent contract truck drivers, for approximately $25.4 million in cash, $3.6 million in assumed net liabilities and a deferred amount of $3.0 million payable subject to the completion of certain operating performance objectives during 2002 and 2003. NAIT is an association of more than 11,000 independent contract truck drivers that provides its members with occupational accident, physical damage and non-trucking liability insurance, as well as access to a suite of professional services. The purchase price was funded from the sale of securities and existing cash balances and $20.0 million of cash contributions from SIRVA, Inc. ("SIRVA"), the Company's parent. SIRVA obtained those proceeds from the sale of its common stock to Clayton, Dubilier and Rice Fund VI Limited Partnership, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership managed by Clayton Dubilier and Rice, Inc., and an affiliate of Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund V Limited Partnership, the controlling shareholder of SIRVA. The cost to acquire NAIT has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed according to estimated fair values and is subject to adjustment when additional information concerning asset and liability valuations are finalized. The preliminary allocation has resulted in acquired goodwill of $33.5 million.
On May 3, 2002, SIRVA, through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, purchased the business ("CRS") conducted by Cooperative Resource Services, Ltd. that provides comprehensive relocation services to companies and their employees, including home sale services, relocation coordination services and mortgage lending services. One of these two subsidiaries, which we own directly, purchased all of such business' assets other than the assets relating to certain mortgage lending operations of the seller. The mortgage lending operations of the seller were purchased by the other subsidiary, which is indirectly owned by SIRVA. Subject to certain adjustments, the combined cash purchase price for the acquisitions was approximately $60.0 million, of which $3.5 million was paid for the assets of the mortgage lending operations. Approximately $45.0 million of the cash purchase price was paid in cash and $15.0 million (non-cash) was paid in notes issued by us of which $10.0 million is due in 2007 and $5.0 million is due in 2012 or 2007 if certain conditions are met. In addition, certain liabilities relating to the acquired business were assumed in connection with the acquisition, including $26.6 million of indebtedness under a revolving credit facility used to fund the mortgage lending operations, which was assumed by the SIRVA acquisition subsidiary. The cash purchase price for the acquisition, as well as approximately $24.1 million of other indebtedness of the acquired business that was refinanced as part of the acquisition, were financed with the proceeds of $36.5 million of cash contributions from SIRVA. SIRVA obtained those proceeds from the sale of its common stock to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VI Limited Partnership, and the incurrence of $50.0 million of additional senior indebtedness. The cost to acquire CRS has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed according to estimated fair values and is subject to adjustment when additional information concerning asset and liability valuations are finalized. The preliminary allocation has resulted in acquired goodwill of $81.2 million.
Due to these acquisitions, during the second quarter 2002, we realigned certain businesses within our segment structure and created two additional segments. Our operating revenues are derived from the following five business segments: (1) our moving servicesNorth America segment, (2) our moving servicesEurope and Asia Pacific segment, (3) our insurance services, (4) our relocation services, and (5) our logistics services. Segments (1) through (4) comprise global relocation services. Our operating income and cash flow from operations are influenced by industry volume and market share as well as selling prices for our services. Additionally, they are impacted by the availability and cost of hauling capacity and by a number of significant business, economic and competitive factors, many of which are not within our control.
Our moving servicesNorth America segment operates under the northAmerican, Allied and Global brand names and provides two types of moving services: (1) domestic, which provides residential moving services in the United States and Canada through a network of exclusive agents who provide the sales, packing, loading, transportation, delivery and warehousing services; and (2) international, which primarily markets to multi-national companies most often based in the United States and provides or coordinates moving services for residential shipments destined to or originating in foreign
20
countries using our exclusive agent network in North America and authorized representatives around the world to complete the service offering.
Our moving servicesEurope and Asia Pacific segment operates in the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and Asia Pacific through a network of company-owned branches that utilize the Pickfords or Allied Pickfords brand names among others. This segment provides complete domestic and international residential moving and relocation services, including sales, packing, loading, transportation, delivery and warehousing. It also provides records management and office and industrial relocation services.
Our insurance services segment provides coverage against loss from certain risks, primarily cargo warehousing, commercial auto physical damage, commercial auto liability and general liability to agents, owner-operators affiliated with us and various other parties in the transportation industry. It is comprised of Transguard, a multiple-line property and casualty insurance company, and NAIT, a leading provider of insurance services to independent contract truck drivers.
Our relocation services segment is comprised of CRS, a business that provides comprehensive relocation services to companies and their employees, including home sale services and relocation coordination services.
Our logistics services segment consists of (1) logistics solutions, which includes finished goods distribution, order fulfillment, project-specific delivery management and the tracking of products through the supply chain, with a focus on high-value products; (2) specialized transportation services, which facilitates the movement of computers, electronics, telecommunications and medical equipment, trade show exhibition materials, fine art and other products that require specialized transportation, distribution or delivery solutions; (3) network services, which provides freight forwarding and brokerage services to customers, as well as vehicle and driver services to agents and owner-operators; and (4) European operations, which handle logistics solutions and specialized transportation of high-value products to and from any major cities in the United Kingdom and Europe.
The following is a review of the more significant accounting policies and methods used by us:
Revenue recognition: We recognize estimated gross revenue to be invoiced to the transportation customer and all related transportation expenses on the date a shipment is delivered or services are completed. The estimate of revenue remains in a receivable account called Delivered Not Processed ("DNP") until the customer is invoiced. Concurrent with the DNP estimate, we recognize an accrual for Purchased Transportation Expenses ("PTE") to account for the estimated costs of packing services, transportation expenses and other such costs associated with the service delivery. The estimate for PTE is not reversed until we receive actual charges.
Within the relocation services segment, corporate fee income consists of fees for relocation services. Relocation services are billed to corporate customers at either a fixed price per transferred employee or based upon a fixed percentage of the home's selling price. Relocation services provided at a fixed fee per transferred employee are recognized when services are performed. Corporate fee income is recognized as revenue at the date a commitment is received from the ultimate buyer to purchase the home.
Insurance reserves: We estimate costs relating to cargo damage and delay claims based on actuarial methods and our history of loss data, which approximates 10 years. Our multiple-line property and commercial liability insurance group sets its reserve rates based on a percentage of earned premium. The percentage is based on historical data, run rates and actuarial methods.
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits: We provide a range of benefits to our employees and retired employees, including defined benefit retirement plans, postretirement health care and life insurance benefits and post-employment benefits (primarily severance). We record annual amounts relating to these plans based on calculations specified by U.S. GAAP, which include various actuarial assumptions, such as discount rates, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. As required by U.S. GAAP, the effect of the modifications is generally recorded or amortized over future periods. We believe that the assumptions utilized in recording the Company's obligations under our plans are reasonable based on our experience and advice from our actuaries.
21
Income taxes: We follow Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax laws and tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, the amounts of any future tax benefits are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent such benefits are not expected to be realized on a more likely than not basis.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of the areas where estimation is significant are as follows: (a) DNP is the estimated revenues associated with shipments delivered or services completed and not invoiced; (b) PTE is the associated purchased transportation expense that is estimated corresponding to the DNP revenue; (c) accounts and notes receivable reserves for doubtful accounts are estimated based on historical write-off data to establish the uncollectible portion of the receivables; (d) costs relating to cargo damage and delay claims are estimated based on actuarial methods; and (e) loss reserves of our insurance subsidiaries are estimated using third party actuaries to estimate insurance reserves.
Results of Operations
Our operating revenues are derived from our moving servicesNorth America, moving servicesEurope and Asia Pacific, insurance services, relocation services and logistics services segments. Gross margin is a result of operating revenues less direct expenses associated with the movement of goods or the completion of services. Direct expenses are defined as follows for each segment.
Moving servicesNorth America's transportation expenses are comprised of payments to:
Moving servicesEurope and Asia Pacific's transportation expenses are similar to those of moving servicesNorth America, except that expenses incurred to provide moving and storage services are largely in the form of direct labor and equipment expenses rather than in the form of agent or owner/operator expenses.
Insurance services direct expenses are primarily comprised of underwriting policies, payments of loss recovery to policy holders and loss adjustment expense.
Relocation services direct expenses are primarily comprised of commissions paid to realtors, home closing costs and staff expenses associated with providing coordination services.
Logistics services transportation expenses are comprised of the following:
22
Operating expenses include our consolidated insurance and claims, bad debt and general and administrative expenses. Employee compensation and benefits account for over 50% of general and administrative expense. Other significant components of general and administrative expenses are communication costs, rent, supplies and other purchased services.

Shipment counts are a measure of activity commonly used by the transportation industry. The following table represents shipments handled by the moving servicesNorth America and logistics services segments. A moving servicesNorth America shipment is the movement of household goods from the point of origin to the final destination. Logistics services shipments represent the movement of truckload or less-than-truckload quantities of products from the point of origin to the final destination. Our moving servicesEurope and Asia Pacific segment, which operates outside of North America (principally the United Kingdom and Australia), primarily generates revenues among the following activities: domestic moving, international moving, business moving services and records management.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $537.1 million, a decrease of $54.2 million compared to the same period in 2001 primarily as a result of the factors discussed below.
Revenue in moving servicesNorth America for the three months ended June 30, 2002 decreased $56.9 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 due primarily to the general economic slowdown which resulted in lower shipment activity of approximately 11% and 9% in the Allied and northAmerican lines, respectively, and in the international unit.
Revenue in moving servicesEurope and Asia Pacific increased $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. This was primarily due to an increase in Asia Pacific revenue, as Asia business and the domestic and international moving business in Australia improved. Records management business also improved for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. This was partially offset by softness in U.K. industrial moving.
Revenue in insurance services for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $9.1 million higher as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase was due to the NAIT acquisition, a general increase in rates and additional market penetration.
Revenue in relocation services for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $16.9 million higher as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase was due to the CRS acquisition.
Revenue in logistics services decreased $24.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 due primarily to reduced shipments within specialized transportation and Europe and reduced activity levels in freight forwarding, due to the general economic slowdown, particularly in the technology and telecommunications sectors. Also, revenues were $4.9 million lower than in the three months ending June 30, 2001 as we exited the parts center business at the end of 2001. These reductions were partially offset by new volume in logistics solutions due to the addition of new customers and increased volume with existing customers.
Gross Margin. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $111.8 million, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease was due primarily to a shipment volume decline due to the general economic slowdown. The gross margin (as a percentage of sales) was 20.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and was 19.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was due primarily to customer mix and operating and service delivery efficiencies.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $87.7 million, a decrease of $4.4 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. Cargo loss and damage expenses were $3.6 million lower than in the same period in the prior year due to favorable development of claim frequency and severity trends. Bad debt expenses were $1.7 million
24
lower primarily due to a decrease in aged receivables. Cost containment programs continue such as delayering the organization and generally reducing discretionary expenses. Also, effective January 2002, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", under which goodwill is no longer amortized but is reviewed at least annually for impairment. The resultant decrease due to the elimination of goodwill amortization was $2.8 million. Partially offsetting the above were higher general and administrative expenses due to incremental expenses of the acquisitions. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses were 16.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 15.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2001.
Restructuring. In the three months ended June 30, 2002, we recorded $0.1 million of restructuring credit pertaining to the logistics parts centers, as we were able to sublease certain parts centers facilities earlier than originally estimated. In the three months ended June 30, 2001, we incurred $4.8 million of costs primarily relating to the logistics parts centers restructuring.
Income (Loss) from Operations. Income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $24.2 million, compared to $15.7 million for the same period in 2001 as a result of the factors discussed below.
Income from operations in moving servicesNorth America for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased $4.9 million primarily due to lower cargo loss and damage expenses and reduced general and administrative expenses. These favorable variances were partially offset by lower Allied and northAmerican lines margins as a result of the general economic slowdown.
Income from operations for moving servicesEurope and Asia Pacific decreased $2.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. Gross margin was higher due to revenue mix and an increase in volume. This was more than offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses, due primarily to severance costs and increased cargo loss and damage expenses. This was partially offset by the elimination of goodwill amortization, which was $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001.
Income from operations in insurance services for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased $0.5 million primarily due to higher margins due to increased revenue and the NAIT acquisition, partially offset by a FAS 133 derivative loss of $1.0 million in 2002.
Income from operations in relocation services for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased $2.0 million primarily due to the CRS acquisition.
Income from operations in logistics services for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $2.7 million, an increase of $3.5 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 due to lower general and administrative expenses and the elimination of $0.4 million of goodwill amortization. This was partially offset by lower margins due to the reduction in shipment volume.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $12.3 million compared to $15.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease is due primarily to lower interest rates and lower average borrowings.
Provision for Income Taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, income tax expense was $4.2 million based on pre-tax income of $11.2 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, income tax expense was $5.5 million based on pre-tax income of $0.4 million. Our estimated provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the federal and state statutory rates. This difference is primarily due to (1) the non-deductibility of certain items expensed for book purposes and (2) limitations that exist on the availability of certain foreign income tax credits. These items create taxable income that is greater than income reported for financial statement purposes.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $966.8 million, a decrease of $134.9 million compared to the same period in 2001 primarily as a result of the factors discussed below.
Revenue in moving servicesNorth America for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased $112.0 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 due primarily to the general economic slowdown which resulted in lower shipment activity of approximately 15% and 12% in the Allied and northAmerican lines, respectively, and in the international unit.
Revenue in moving servicesEurope and Asia Pacific increased $1.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. This was primarily due to an increase in Asia Pacific revenue, as Asia business and the domestic and international moving business in Australia improved. Records management business also improved for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. This was partially offset by softness in U.K. industrial moving.
Revenue in insurance services for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $10.6 million higher as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase was due to the NAIT acquisition, a general increase in rates and additional market penetration.
Revenue in relocation services for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $17.6 million higher as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase was due to the CRS acquisition.
Revenue in logistics services decreased $52.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 due primarily to reduced shipments within specialized transportation and reduced activity levels in freight forwarding, due to the general economic slowdown, particularly in the technology and telecommunications sectors.

These reductions were partially offset by new volume in logistics solutions due to the addition of new customers and increased volume with existing customers.
Gross Margin. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $202.8 million, a decrease of $8.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease was due primarily to a shipment volume decline due to the general economic slowdown. The gross margin (as a percentage of sales) was 21.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and was 19.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

In the six months ended June 30, 2002, we recorded $0.8 million of restructuring credit pertaining to the logistics parts centers, as we were able to sublease certain parts centers facilities earlier than originally estimated. In the six months ended June 30, 2001, we incurred $5.0 million of costs, due primarily to the logistics parts center restructuring.
Income from Operations. Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $30.4 million, compared to $11.3 million for the same period in 2001 as a result of the factors discussed below.
Income from operations in moving servicesNorth America for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased $10.2 million primarily due to lower cargo loss and damage expense, reduced general and administrative expenses and the elimination of goodwill amortization which was $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Income from operations in the moving servicesNorth America for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was also higher than for the six months ended June 30, 2001 due to the expenses associated with the January 2001 agent convention. These favorable variances were partially offset by lower Allied and northAmerican lines margins as a result of the general economic slowdown.
Income from operations for the moving servicesEurope and Asia Pacific decreased $3.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. Gross margin was higher due to revenue mix. This was more than offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses, due primarily to severance costs and increased customer claims. Also, there was a year-over-year decrease of $1.0 million relating to gains on outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts. This was partially offset by the elimination of goodwill amortization, which was $2.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Income from operations in insurance services for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased $2.6 million primarily due to a year-over-year FAS 133 derivative gain of $0.8 million and higher margins due to increased revenue and the NAIT acquisition.
Income from operations in relocation services for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased $1.9 million primarily due to the CRS acquisition.
Income from operations in logistics services for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $3.6 million, an increase of $7.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 due to lower general and administrative expenses and the elimination of $0.8 million of goodwill amortization. This was partially offset by lower margins due to the reduction in shipment volume.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $24.8 million compared to $31.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease is due primarily to lower interest rates and lower average borrowings.
Provision (Benefits) for Income Taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, income tax expense was $1.5 million based on pre-tax income of $5.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the income tax benefit was $20.1 million based on a pre-tax loss of $20.0 million. Our estimated provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the federal and state statutory rates. This difference is primarily due to (1) the non-deductibility of certain items expensed for book purposes and (2) limitations that exist on the availability of certain foreign income tax credits. These items create taxable income that is greater than income reported for financial statement purposes.
28
The information provided below about our cash flows, debt, credit facilities, capital and operating lease obligations and future commitments is included here to facilitate a review of our liquidity.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We broadly define liquidity as our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operating activities to meet our obligations and commitments. In addition, liquidity includes the ability to obtain appropriate debt and equity financing and to convert into cash those assets that are no longer required to meet existing strategic and financial objectives. Therefore, liquidity cannot be considered separately from capital resources that consist of current or potentially available funds for use in achieving long-range business objectives and meeting debt service commitments.
Our short-term and long-term liquidity needs will arise primarily from:
The seasonal nature of the moving business results in increased short-term working capital requirements in the summer months. This will result in an increase in receivables which are typically collected, and revolving credit borrowings which are typically repaid, by late fall. Due to this seasonality, we can operate with negative working capital due to the turnover of our accounts receivable and access to our revolving credit facility.
Debt Service. Principal and interest payments under our senior credit facility and interest payments on the notes represent significant liquidity requirements for us. As of June 30, 2002, we had $568.7 million of indebtedness comprised of indebtedness for borrowed money and capital leases, consisting of
As a result, we are required to devote a substantial amount of our cash flow to service this indebtedness. We are required to repay our note payabletranche A in quarterly principal payments over seven years and our note payabletranche B in quarterly principal payments over eight years. We are required to repay any amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility forming part of our senior credit facility by the seventh anniversary of the initial borrowings under the senior credit facility. All borrowings under the senior credit facility bear interest at floating rates based upon the interest rate option elected by us.
In connection with the purchase of the relocation services business of Cooperative Resource Services, Ltd. on May 3, 2002, we borrowed an additional $50.0 million under the note payabletranche B facility. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and of OperationsOverview."
29
Covenant Restrictions. The senior credit facility imposes restrictions on our ability to make capital expenditures. Additionally, the senior credit facility, the indenture governing the notes and the agreements governing our parent company's senior discount debt, which as at June 30, 2002, had accreted to $52.0 million, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. Such restrictions could limit our ability to
The covenants in the senior credit facility also, among other things, limit our ability to
The indenture governing our senior subordinated notes and the agreements governing our parent company's senior discount debt, which as at June 30, 2002, had accreted to $52.0 million, contain a number of similar restrictions.
Capital Expenditures.
Capital expenditures for 2002 are expected to approximate $32.0 million for computer equipment, software development and transportation and warehouse equipment.
Financing Sources. As of June 30, 2002, there was approximately $95.6 million available under the revolving credit facility forming part of our senior credit facility to meet our future working capital and other business needs. We believe that cash generated from operations, which was $32.3 million, primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and other current liabilities, partially offset by seasonal growth in accounts receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2002, together with amounts available under the revolving credit facility and any other available source of liquidity will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt service obligations, capital expenditure program requirements, ongoing operating costs and working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. Our future operating performance and ability to service or refinance the notes and to repay, extend, or refinance our senior credit facility will be, among other things, subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
We made a $21.9 million prepayment of notes payabletranche A and notes payabletranche B debt on March 29, 2002, due to excess cash flow in 2001, as defined in our senior credit facility. Of that amount, approximately $4.2 million replaced principal payments due at that time, with the remaining approximately $17.7 million reducing future principal payments.

In addition, we guarantee operating lines of credit maintained by wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the outstanding balance was $1.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
In connection with the purchase of the relocation services business of Cooperative Resource Services, Ltd. on May 3, 2002, we borrowed an additional $50.0 million under our senior credit facility. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and of OperationsOverview."
Seasonality
Our operations are subject to seasonal trends common to the moving industry. Results of our operations for the quarters ending in December and March are typically lower than the quarters ending in June and September due to reduced shipments in the winter months. With respect to moving servicesNorth America, over half of revenue is typically generated from May through September. For logistics services, shipping requirements of the customer base result in higher shipment volumes at the end of each quarter. Moving servicesEurope and Asia Pacific experiences seasonality with respect to residential relocations; however, this is somewhat diminished by the geographic diversity of our business moving activities and involvement with other non-seasonal operations such as records management and office moving.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), superseding SFAS 121, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The provisions of SFAS 144 are for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale or otherwise are effective for disposal activities initiated by an entity's commitment to a plan after the initial date of adoption of SFAS 144. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS 144 on our operating results and financial condition.
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." The statement updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. The provisions of this statement related to rescission of Statement 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions in paragraphs 8 and 9(c) of the statement related to Statement 13 shall be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. We are considering the Standard and its effect on our financial statements.
In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The statement requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This statement replaces previous accounting guidance provided by EITF (Emerging issues Task Force) Issue No. 94-3. Statement 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. We are considering the Standard and its effect on our financial statements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
We are exposed to various interest rate risks that arise in the normal course of business. We finance our operations with borrowings comprised primarily of variable rate indebtedness. Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect our operating margins, results of operations and our ability to service indebtedness. An increase of 1% in interest rates payable on our variable rate indebtedness would increase our annual interest rate expense by approximately $3.2 million.

We utilize interest rate agreements and foreign exchange contracts to manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures. The principal objective of such contracts is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with financial and international operating activities. We do not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are financial institutions with which we also have other financial relationships. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. However, we do not anticipate nonperformance by the other parties, and no material loss would be expected from their nonperformance.
We had three open interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2002. The intent of these agreements is to reduce interest rate risk by swapping an unknown variable interest rate for a fixed rate. These agreements qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Therefore, market rate changes are reported in Other Comprehensive Income. The following is a recap of each agreement.
Notional amount | $40.0 million | $70.0 million | $20.0 million | |||
Fixed rate paid | 4.91% | 5.44% | 4.785% | |||
Variable rate received | 3 month LIBOR | 1 month LIBOR | 1 month LIBOR | |||
Expiration date | March 2003 | December 2002 | April 2003 |
Assets, liabilities, and commitments that are to be settled in cash and are denominated in foreign currencies for transaction purposes are sensitive to changes in currency exchange rates. All material trade receivable balances are denominated in the host currency of the local operation. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, we recognized currency gains of $0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for transactional related items.
From time to time, we utilize foreign currency forward contracts in the regular course of business to manage our exposure against foreign currency fluctuations. The forward contracts establish the exchange rates at which we will purchase or sell the contracted amount of U.S. Dollars for specified foreign currencies at a future date. We utilize forward contracts which are short-term in duration (less than one year). The major currency exposures hedged by us are the Australian dollar, the British pound sterling and the Euro. The contract amounts of foreign currency forwards at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were $3.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively. A hypothetical 10% adverse movement in foreign exchange rates applied to our foreign currency exchange rate sensitive instruments held as of December 31, 2001 would result in a hypothetical loss of approximately $0.35 million. Changes in fair value relating to these derivatives are recognized in current period earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, we recognized $0.1 and $1.0 million, respectively, of gains resulting from changes in the fair value of foreign currency derivatives.
The company holds various convertible bonds in the investment portfolio of our insurance operations. The value of the conversion feature is bifurcated from the value of the underlying bond. Changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, we recognized $0.8 and $0 million of gains, respectively.
Other assets at June 30, 2002, included marketable equity securities which are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income until realized.
Restructuring
In June 2001, our Logistics Services operating segment established a program to exit the Parts Center business. The charges included severance and employee benefit costs for 293 employees, lease and asset impairment costs to shut down and exit the Parts Center business by the end of 2001. Due to lease terms and severance agreements, certain facility lease payments will continue through September

2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, $0.8 million of restructuring credit occurred when we were able to sublease certain Parts Center facilities earlier than originally estimated.
Forward Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements which include assumptions about future market conditions, operations and results. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties. They are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Among the many factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements are the changes in the markets for the Company's products and services, including the future growth of the logistics and relocation markets, expected characteristics of competition, foreign exchange risk, expected actions of third parties such as agents, representatives, owner/operators and suppliers and other factors discussed in prior Securities and Exchange Commission filings by the Company. The Company assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements or advise of changes in the assumptions on which they were based.
Subsequent Events
On July 1, 2002, we entered into a ten year purchase commitment totaling $182.6 million with Covansys Corporation and Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. to provide outsourcing services for 100% of the Company's information systems infrastructure, including data center operations and telecommunications, and, initially, 50% of application software development. Clayton, Dubilier and Rice Fund VI Limited Partnership, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, a shareholder of SIRVA that is managed by Clayton, Dubilier and Rice, Inc. and an affiliate of the controlling shareholder of SIRVA, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund V Limited Partnership, owns approximately 23% of the outstanding common stock of Covansys Corporation.
On July 29, 2002, a subsidiary of SIRVA, RS Acquisition, LLC, acquired The Rowan Group PLC (UK) and Rowan Simmons Conveyancing Limited (UK) ("Rowan Simmons"), a U.K. based provider of relocation services, including home sale and purchase assistance, management of tenant responsibilities, and other services to corporations that assist employees in their relocation needs, for approximately $14.0 million. The purchase price was funded from the proceeds of a loan from Fleet National Bank. Under the terms of a purchase agreement between RS Acquisition, LLC and the Company, the Company will acquire Rowan Simmons from RS Acquisition, LLC within six months from the date of purchase for approximately $14.0 million.
