Euramax
International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Thousands of U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation:
For purposes of this report the Company refers to Euramax International, Inc. (Euramax) and Subsidiaries, collectively.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management of the Company, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair presentation of results of operations, financial position and cash flows. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the year-end Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2002. Operating results for the period ended March 28, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of future results that may be expected for the year ending December 26, 2003.
Per share data has not been presented since such data provides no useful information, as the shares of the Company are closely held.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
For information regarding significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 27, 2002, set forth in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The change in goodwill, net from December 27, 2002 to March 28, 2003, is a result of the change in foreign exchange rates used in converting the local currency goodwill balance into U.S. Dollars.
Certain 2002 amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

5. Commitments and Contingencies:
Litigation
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, it is the opinion of the Companys management, based upon information available at this time, that the expected outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
Environmental Matters
The Companys operations are subject to federal, state, local and European environmental laws and regulations concerning the management of pollution and hazardous substances.
The Company has been named as a potentially responsible party in state and Federal administrative and judicial proceedings seeking contribution for costs associated with the investigation, analysis, correction and remediation of environmental conditions at various hazardous waste disposal sites. The Company continues to monitor these actions and proceedings and to vigorously defend both its own interests as well as the interests of its affiliates. The Companys ultimate liability in connection with present and future environmental claims will depend on many factors, including its volumetric share of the waste at a given site, the remedial action required, the total cost of remediation, and the financial viability and participation of the other entities that also sent waste to the site. Once it becomes probable that the Company will incur costs in connection with remediation of a site and such costs can be reasonably estimated, the Company establishes or adjusts its reserve for its projected share of these costs. Based upon current law and information known to the Company concerning the size of the sites known to it, anticipated costs, their years of operations and the number of other potentially responsible parties, management believes that the Companys potential share of the estimated aggregate liability for the costs of remedial actions and related costs and expenses are not material. In addition, the Company establishes reserves for remedial measures required from time to time at its own facilities.
Management believes that the reasonably probable outcomes of these matters will not materially exceed established reserves and will not have a material impact on the future financial position, net earnings or cash flows of the Company. The Companys reserves, expenditures and expenses for all environmental exposures were not significant for any of the dates or periods presented.
6
In connection with the acquisition of the Company from Alumax Inc. (which has since been acquired by Aluminum Company of America in May 1998, and hereafter referred to as Alumax) on September 25, 1996, the Company was indemnified by Alumax for substantially all of its costs, if any, related to specifically identified environmental matters arising prior to the closing date of the acquisition during the period of time it was owned directly or indirectly by Alumax. Such indemnification includes costs that may ultimately be incurred to contribute to the remediation of certain specified existing National Priorities List (NPL) sites for which the Company had been named a potentially responsible party under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLA) as of the closing date of the acquisition, as well as certain potential costs for sites listed on state hazardous cleanup lists. The Company does not believe that it has any significant probable liability for environmental claims. Further, the Company believes it to be unlikely that the Company would be required to bear environmental costs in excess of its pro rata share of such costs as a potentially responsible party at any site.
Product Warranties
The Company provides warranties on certain products. The warranty periods differ depending on the product, but generally range from one year to limited lifetime warranties. The Company provides accruals for warranties based on historical experience and expectations of future occurrence. A summary of the changes in the product warranty accrual for the quarter ended March 28, 2003 follows:

9. Subsequent Event:
On April 15, 2003, Citigroup Venture Capital Equity Partners, L.P. ("CVCEP"), an affiliate of ACP Holding Company and Citicorp Venture Capital Ltd. ("CVC"), entered into a definitive purchase agreement with CVC European Equity Partners, L.P. and CVC European Equity Partners (Jersey), L.P. (collectively "CVC Europe"), BNP Paribas, independent directors and certain members of management to purchase all of the shares of the Company held by CVC Europe and BNP Paribas, and a minority portion of the shares held by independent directors and management. The transaction is pending completion of U.S. and European trade regulation requirements and the consent of the Credit Agreement lenders to effect the change in ownership of the shares. The consummation of the contemplated transactions do not result in a change in control as defined by the Company's Indenture to the Notes. The purchase of shares by CVCEP, once completed, will result in CVCEP and CVC collectively owning approximately 88% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The purchase agreement requires the Company to pay certain of the buyer's and seller's costs associated with the transaction.

10. Supplemental Condensed Combined Financial Statements:
On September 25, 1996, the Company issued Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the Notes). Euramax International Limited, Euramax European Holdings Limited and Euramax European Holdings B.V. are co-obligors under the Notes (the Co-Obligors). Euramax International, Inc. has provided a full and unconditional guarantee of the Notes (Parent Guarantor). In addition, Amerimax Holdings, Inc., Amerimax Fabricated Products, Inc., Euramax International Holdings Limited and Euramax Continental Limited, holding company subsidiaries of Euramax, have provided full and unconditional guarantees of the Notes (collectively, the Guarantor Subsidiaries). The following supplemental condensed combining financial statements as of March 28, 2003 and December 27, 2002, and for the quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002, reflect the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of each of the Parent Guarantor, the Co-Obligors, and such combined information of the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries, principally the operating subsidiaries, (collectively, the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). The Co-Obligors and Guarantors are wholly owned subsidiaries of Euramax and are each jointly, severally, fully, and unconditionally liable under the Notes. Separate complete financial statements of each Co-Obligor and Guarantor are not presented because management has determined that they are not material to investors.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document, as well as the year-end Consolidated Financial Statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2002.
The Company is an international producer of value-added aluminum, steel, vinyl and fiberglass fabricated products, with facilities strategically located in the United Kingdom (U.K.), The Netherlands, France, and all major regions of the continental United States (U.S.). Euramaxs core products include specialty coated coils, aluminum recreational vehicle (RV) sidewalls, RV doors, farm and agricultural panels, roofing accessories, metal and vinyl raincarrying systems, soffit and fascia systems, and vinyl replacement windows. The Companys customers include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as RV, commercial panel and transportation industry manufacturers; rural contractors; home centers; manufactured housing producers; distributors; industrial and architectural contractors; and home improvement contractors.
Financial results for the quarter ended March 28, 2003, compared to the same period of 2002, reflect strong net sales and operating earnings growth in Europe primarily from higher sales of fabricated products to the European transportation industry resulting from new product development, strong demand from customers in the U.K. for bath enclosures and shower doors and the start-up of a program in the U.K. to sell residential doors direct to home centers. Additionally, efficiency gains at the Corby, England paintline continued to have a positive impact on operating margins. The strengthening of the Euro and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar had a positive impact on net sales and operating earnings in the first quarter of 2003, compared to the first quarter of 2002. U.S. results reflect higher sales of raincarrying products and accessories to home centers and distributors, strong demand for vinyl windows and lattice/awning products from home improvement contractors and continued sales growth of painted aluminum coil to external customers from the Helena, Arkansas paintline. Substantially offsetting the sales growth in the U.S. was soft demand from rural contractors, primarily related to prolonged winter weather, and from R.V. manufacturers. Lower operating margins were realized in the U.S. in the quarter ended March 28, 2003, compared to the quarter ended March 29, 2002, primarily resulting from lower steel sales volume to rural contractors in addition to higher steel costs, partially offset by higher steel selling prices. In addition, higher freight costs reduced operating margins in the quarter ended March 28, 2003, compared to the quarter ended March 29, 2002.

Net Sales. Net sales increased 9.9% to $146.2 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2003, from $133.0 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002. Net sales in the U.S. increased less than 1.0% to $85.9 million in the quarter ended March 28, 2003, from $85.3 million in the quarter ended March 29, 2002. This increase in net sales in the U.S. primarily resulted from higher sales to home improvement contractors, distributors and home centers, partially offset by lower sales to rural contractors and RV manufacturers. For the quarter ended March 28, 2003, compared to the quarter ended March 29, 2002, sales of rain-carrying products to distributors and home centers increased $1.2 million; sales of vinyl windows and lattice/awning products to home improvement contactors increased $1.6 million; and sales of painted aluminum coil to external customers from the Helena, Arkansas paintline increased $748.0 thousand. Partially offsetting these increases were a decrease in sales to rural contractors of $2.6 million and a decrease in sales to RV manufacturers of $383.0 thousand. The Companys U.S. subsidiaries are included in the U.S. Fabrication Segment (see Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Net sales in Europe increased 26.4% to $60.2 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2003, from $47.6 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002. This increase in European net sales includes an increase in net sales in the European Fabrication Segment of $7.9 million or 48.7%, and an increase in net sales in the European Roll Coating Segment of $4.7 million or 14.9% (see Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Sales in the European Fabrication Segment increased primarily from higher sales of residential doors to home centers, bath enclosures and shower doors to customers in the U.K. and sales from France to the European transportation industry. Additionally, the
18
strengthening of the Euro and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar increased the European Fabrication Segments sales by $3.5 million in the quarter ended March 28, 2003, compared to the quarter ended March 29, 2002. For the quarter ended March 28, 2003, compared to the quarter ended March 29, 2002, excluding currency impact, sales of residential doors to home centers increased $1.3 million; sales of bath enclosures and shower doors to customers in the U.K. increased $588.0 thousand; and sales from France to the European transportation industry increased $2.5 million. Sales in the European Roll Coating Segment increased primarily from the strengthening of the Euro and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar, in addition to higher sales of painted aluminum coil to European RV manufacturers. Partially offsetting these increases were lower sales of painted aluminum and steel coil to OEMs (excluding RV manufacturers). The strengthening of the Euro and British Pound increased the European Roll Coating Segments sales by $5.7 million in the quarter ended March 28, 2003, compared to the quarter ended March 29, 2002. For the quarter ended March 28, 2003, compared to the quarter ended March 29, 2002, excluding currency impact, sales of painted aluminum coil to European RV manufacturers increased by $843.0 thousand; and sales of painted aluminum and steel coil to OEMs (excluding RV manufacturers) decreased by $1.9 million.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 80.4% for the quarter ended March 28, 2003, from 79.9% for the quarter ended March 29, 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to higher steel costs in the U.S., partially offset by higher steel selling prices, in addition to higher labor and freight costs. Higher labor costs resulted primarily from new product and product expansion initiatives undertaken over the past twelve months.
Selling and general. Selling and general expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 10.7% for the quarter ended March 28, 2003, from 10.9% for the quarter ended March 29, 2002. The decrease is primarily attributable to higher net sales in the quarter ended March 28, 2003, compared to the quarter ended March 29, 2002.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of net sales, was 2.6% for the quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002.
Earnings from operations. As noted above, earnings from operations in the U.S. decreased to $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2003, from $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002. Earnings from operations in Europe increased to $7.2 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2003, from $4.8 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002. The decrease in earnings from operations in the U.S. is largely attributable to lower sales to rural contractors, higher freight and steel costs, partially offset by higher steel selling prices. The increase in earnings from operations in Europe is largely attributable to higher sales from the European Fabrication segment, improved margins on sales from the European Roll Coating segment, improved product mix and the strengthening of the Euro and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar. The strengthening of the Euro and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar increased European earnings from operations by $1.2 million in the quarter ended March 28, 2003, compared to the quarter ended March 29, 2002.
Interest expense, net. Net interest expense was $5.4 million for the quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002. The decline in net interest expense as a result of lower outstanding indebtedness was offset by higher interest rates resulting from refinancing the Credit Agreement on March 15, 2002.
19
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense) increased to $213.9 thousand for the quarter ended March 28, 2003, from $(82.1) thousand for the quarter ended March 29, 2002. The increase in other income is the result of the amortization of a gain remaining from the termination of a Pound Sterling swap in January 2002 from OCI into other income in the quarter ended March 28, 2003. In the quarter ended March 29, 2002, the Company recognized foreign exchange losses on unhedged liabilities remeasured into the local currency.
Provision for income taxes. The income tax provision for the period is based on the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. The effective rate for the provision for income taxes increased to 39.3% from 36.7% for the quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002, respectively. The increase in the effective rate is primarily due to higher valuation allowances provided in 2003 due to the uncertainty of the future benefit of U.S. state net operating losses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. The Companys primary liquidity needs arise from debt service incurred in connection with acquisitions and the funding of capital expenditures. The Companys liquidity sources at March 28, 2003 include $11.5 million in cash and an undrawn amount of $42.6 million under its revolving credit facility, subject to borrowing base limitations. At March 28, 2003, $37.0 million of the undrawn amount was available.
The Companys leveraged financial position requires that a substantial portion of the Companys cash flow from operations be used to pay interest on the Notes, principal and interest under the Companys Credit Agreement and other indebtedness. Significant increases in the floating interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility would result in increased debt service requirements, which may reduce the funds available for capital expenditures and other operational needs. In addition, the Companys leveraged position may impede its ability to obtain financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Further, the Companys leveraged position may make it more vulnerable to economic downturns, may limit its ability to withstand competitive pressures, and may limit its ability to comply with restrictive financial covenants required under its Credit Agreement.
The Companys primary source of liquidity is funds generated from operations, which are supplemented by borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Net cash used in operating activities for the quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002, were $826.0 thousand and $10.8 million, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operating activities is largely the result of the timing of the interest payment on the Notes. In 2002, the interest payment of $7.5 million occurred in the first quarter, whereas in 2003 the interest payment occurred in the second quarter. The remaining decrease primarily resulted from a larger increase in trade accounts payable in the first quarter of 2003, than in the first quarter of 2002, partially offset by a larger increase in inventories in the first quarter of 2003, than in the first quarter of 2002. The larger increase in trade accounts payable and inventories is due to higher sales volume in the first quarter of 2003, in addition to the timing of payments of trade accounts payable and receipts of inventories.
Net cash used in investing activities increased to $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2003, from $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002. This increase is the result of higher capital expenditures in the quarter ended March 28, 2003, compared to the
20
quarter ended March 29, 2002.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $3.4 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2003, from $15.3 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002. Cash provided by financing activities typically comes from borrowings on the Credit Agreement. Borrowings on the Credit Agreement were $5.4 million in the quarter ended March 28, 2003, compared to $11.8 million in the quarter ended March 29, 2002. During the quarter ended March 28, 2003, the Company repurchased common stock in the amount of $1.4 million.
The above-noted sources are expected to provide the liquidity required, if necessary, to supplement cash from operations, although no assurance to that effect can be given.
Capital Expenditures. The Companys capital expenditures were $3.0 million and $1.1 million for the quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2003 include approximately $344.4 thousand for improvements to the paintlines in Helena, Arkansas; Corby, England; and Roermond, The Netherlands; and approximately $1.7 million for several projects related to business expansion. Capital expenditures in 2002 included approximately $160.6 thousand for improvements to the paintlines in Helena, Arkansas; Corby, England; and Roermond, The Netherlands; and approximately $140.7 thousand for several projects related to business expansion. The balance of capital expenditures in both periods related to purchases and upgrades of fabricating equipment, transportation and material moving equipment, and information systems.
The Company has made and will continue to make capital expenditures to comply with environmental laws. The Company estimates that its environmental capital expenditures for 2003 will approximate $900.0 thousand.
Working Capital Management. Working capital was $98.2 million as of March 28, 2003, compared to $90.5 million as of December 27, 2002. The increase in working capital is largely attributable to seasonal demands of the business that result in substantial increases from year end in trade accounts receivable and inventories, partially offset by an increase in trade accounts payable.
The Companys exposure to environmental matters has not changed significantly from the year ended December 27, 2002. For detailed information regarding environmental matters, see Managements Discussion and Analysis Risk Management set forth in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2002.
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements: The Managements Discussion and Analysis and other sections of this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industries in which the Company operates, and managements beliefs and assumptions. Such forward-looking statements include terminology such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, estimates, or variations of such words and similar expressions regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. Forward-looking statements
21
in this report include, but are not limited to: (1) statements regarding the Companys expectation that its source of liquidity will provide the liquidity required, if necessary, to supplement lower cash flows from operations; (2) statements regarding managements expectation that the outcome of legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; and (3) statements regarding managements belief that the Companys potential share of the estimated aggregate liability for the costs of remedial actions and related costs and expenses at various hazardous waste disposal sites in which the Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits or as a potentially responsible party are not material and that the reasonably probable outcome of these matters will not materially exceed established reserves and will not have a material impact on the future financial position, net earnings or cash flows of the Company. These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate, and, therefore, there can be no assurance that they will prove to be accurate. All such forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Important factors that could cause future financial performance to differ materially and significantly from past results and from those expressed or implied in this document include, without limitation, the risks of acquisition of businesses (including limited knowledge of the businesses acquired and misrepresentations by sellers), changes in business strategy or development plans, the cyclical demand for the Companys products, the supply and/or price of aluminum and other raw materials, currency exchange rate fluctuations, environmental regulations, availability of financing, competition, reliance on key management personnel, ability to manage growth, loss of customers, and a variety of other factors. For further information on these and other risks, see the Risk Factors section of Item 1 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2002, as well as the Companys other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company assumes no obligation to update publicly its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The following discussion about the Companys risk-management activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statement. See Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements for additional information regarding the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. The Companys management of market risk from changes in interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices has not changed from the year ended December 27, 2002. For detailed information regarding the Companys risk management, see Managements Discussion and Analysis Risk Management and Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk set forth in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2002.
Interest Rate Risk
This analysis presents the hypothetical loss in fair value and increase in interest expense of those financial instruments and derivative instruments held by the Company at March 28, 2003, which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. All other factors remaining
22
unchanged, a hypothetical 10 percent increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of the Companys fixed-rate, long-term debt outstanding at March 28, 2003, by approximately $4.1 million, based upon the use of a discounted cash flow model, as compared to a hypothetical decrease in fair value of approximately $4.4 million at December 27, 2002.
A hypothetical 10 percent increase in interest rates for one year on the Companys variable rate financial instruments and derivative instruments would increase interest expense by approximately $301.2 thousand as calculated at March 28, 2003, compared to a hypothetical increase in interest expense of approximately $298.8 thousand as calculated at December 27, 2002.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
This analysis presents the hypothetical increase in foreign exchange loss and increase in interest expense related to those financial instruments and derivative instruments held by the Company at March 28, 2003 that are sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange risks. A hypothetical 10 percent decrease in foreign currency exchange rates would increase the Companys foreign exchange loss by approximately $158.0 thousand for those financial instruments and derivative instruments affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations, as compared to a hypothetical increase in foreign exchange loss of approximately $151.5 thousand for the year ended December 27, 2002.
All other factors remaining unchanged, a hypothetical 10 percent increase in foreign currency exchange rates for one year would increase interest expense by approximately $705.5 thousand as calculated at March 28, 2003, for those financial instruments and derivative instruments affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations, as compared to a hypothetical increase in interest expense of approximately $803.9 thousand as calculated at December 27, 2002.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Within 90 days prior to the filing of the Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer along with the Companys Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer along with the Companys Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the evaluation date, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (1) are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Companys periodic SEC filings and (2) are adequate to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Further, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, along with the Companys Chief Financial Officer, are not aware of any significant changes in disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the evaluation date.
