NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

NOTE A—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Arctic Cat Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of December 31, 2003 and, the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and cash flows for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.  Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2003 is derived from the audited balance sheet as of that date.

 

Preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related revenues and expenses.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company utilizes the intrinsic value method of accounting for its employee stock-based compensation plans.

NOTE C—NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

The Company’s basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares.  The Company’s diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents relating to stock options, when dilutive.  Options to purchase 400,481 shares of common stock with weighted average exercise prices of $15.76 were outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2002. There were no anti-dilutive shares during the three months ended December 31, 2003. Options to purchase 113,574 and 348,898 shares of common stock with weighted average exercise prices of $20.94 and $15.69 were outstanding during the nine months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, all of which were excluded from the computation of common share equivalents because they were anti-dilutive.

 

Weighted Average Shares outstanding consist of the following:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

Arctic Cat Inc. (the “Company”) designs, engineers, manufactures and markets snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) under the Arctic Cat brand name, as well as related parts, garments and accessories principally through its facilities in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.  The Company markets its products through a network of independent dealers located throughout the contiguous United States and Canada, and through distributors representing dealers in Alaska, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and other international markets. The Arctic Cat brand name has existed for more than 40 years and is among the most widely recognized and respected names in the snowmobile industry.  The Company trades on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol ACAT.

 

Results of Operations

 

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002.

 

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 increased 10.5% to $194,618,000 from $176,175,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 due to a 28.3% or $14,823,000 increase in ATV sales, a 5.1% or $4,862,000 increase in snowmobile sales and a 11.6% or $2,758,000 increase in parts, garments and accessory sales. Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 included a $4,000,000 reduction of a restructuring accrual for estimated sales incentives related to Arctic Cat’s exit from the personal watercraft (PWC) business in September 1999. ATV unit volume increased 23.0% and snowmobile unit volume decreased 8.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 compared to the same quarter last year. Year-to-date net sales increased 9.4% to $509,457,000 from $465,700,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2004 due to a 24.2% increase in ATV sales, a 4.0% increase in snowmobile sales, and a 1.7% increase in parts, garments and accessory sales.

 

9

 

Year-to-date ATV unit volume increased 9.5% while snowmobile unit volume decreased 6.4%. For fiscal 2004, the Company expects net sales will grow 9 percent to 11 percent and be in the range of $629 million to $639 million.

 

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 increased 10.9% to $43,981,000 from $39,653,000 for the same quarter in fiscal 2003.  The quarterly gross profit percentage for the third quarter in fiscal 2004 was 22.6%, compared to 22.5% for the third quarter in fiscal 2003. Year-to-date gross profit increased 6.5% to $118,679,000 from $111,466,000 for the same period last year. The year-to-date gross profit percentage was 23.3% compared to 23.9% for the same period last year. The year-to-date decrease in the gross profit percentage was primarily due to the aforementioned reduction of estimated PWC restructuring accruals in the previous fiscal year.

 

Operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 increased 34.9% to $29,945,000 from $22,191,000 for the third quarter of last year. As a percent of sales, operating expenses were 15.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 versus 12.6% for the same quarter last year. Year-to-date operating expenses for the period ended December 31, 2003 were $73,186,000 compared to $61,548,000 for the same period last year. As a percent of sales, operating expenses were 14.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 2004 compared to 13.2% for the first nine months of fiscal 2003. Both the quarterly and year-to-date increases in operating expenses resulted primarily from losses incurred on Canadian exchange forward contracts and increased operating expenses related to increased sales levels and a $2,404,000 net reduction of estimated PWC restructuring accruals which was offset by a $1,000,000 change in estimate for other non-exit PWC related accruals in the third quarter of fiscal 2003.

 

Other income for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 decreased 38.3% to $279,000 from $452,000 for the third quarter of last year. Year-to-date other income decreased 35.4% to $690,000 from $1,068,000. Both the quarterly and year-to-date decreases resulted from lower interest income earned on investments due to lower interest rates and lower average cash balances.

 

Net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 decreased 18.3% to $9,733,000 from $11,912,000 for the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.46 and $0.53 for the third quarters of fiscal 2004 and 2003. Year-to-date net earnings decreased 8.7% to $31,404,000 from $34,401,000. Year-to-date diluted net earnings per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2004 were $1.44 compared to $1.51 per share for the same period last year. Both the quarterly and year-to-date decreases in net earnings are mainly due to a $3,405,000 after tax net reduction of the PWC related accruals in the third quarter of fiscal 2003.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The seasonality of the Company’s snowmobile production cycle and the lead time between the commencement of snowmobile and ATV production in the early spring and commencement of shipments late in the first quarter have resulted in significant fluctuations in the Company’s working capital requirements during the year.  Historically, the Company has financed its working capital requirements out of available cash balances at the beginning and end of the production cycle and with short-term bank borrowings during the middle of the cycle. The Company’s cash balances traditionally peak early in the fourth quarter and then decrease as working capital requirements increase when the Company’s snowmobile and spring ATV production cycles begin.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2003, the Company repurchased $30,612,000 of common shares compared to $24,499,000 for the same nine month period of the prior year. Cash and short-term investments were $64,642,000 and $86,429,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively. The Company’s investment objectives are first, safety of principal and second, rate of return.

 

The Company believes that the cash generated from operations and

 

10

 

available ash will be sufficient to meet its working capital, regular  quarterly dividend, share repurchase program, and capital expenditure  requirements on a short and long-term basis.

 

Line of Credit

 

The Company has an unsecured credit agreement with a bank for the issuance of up to $45,000,000 of documentary and stand-by letters of credit and for working capital and in addition has a $15,000,000 seasonal credit agreement for the Company’s peak production period.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for certain forward-looking statements.  This form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance.  These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated.  The words “aim,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” and other expressions that indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements.  Actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to: product mix and volume; competitive pressure on sales and pricing; increase in material or production cost which cannot be recouped in product pricing; changes in the sourcing of engines from Suzuki; warranty expenses; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; product liability claims and other legal proceedings in excess of insured amounts; environmental and product safety regulatory activity;  effects of the weather; overall economic conditions and consumer demand and confidence.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

The Company is subject to certain market risk relating to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.  Information regarding foreign currency exchange rates is discussed within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Inflation and Exchange Rate” and footnote A to the Financial Statements in the 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interest rate market risk is managed for cash and short-term investments by investing in a diversified frequently maturing portfolio consisting of municipal bonds and money market funds that experience minimal volatility and is not deemed to be significant.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”)as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
