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 terms Company and Euramax refer to Euramax International, Inc. and its 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, except for the 2003 Stock Transaction described in Note 2, 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 26, 2003.
The Companys sales are somewhat seasonal, with the second and third quarters typically accounting for the highest sales volumes. Operating results for the period ended March 26, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of future results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.
Per share data has not been presented since such data provides no useful information, as the shares of the Company are closely held.
Certain 2003 amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
2. 2003 Stock Transaction
On April 15, 2003, Citigroup Venture Capital Equity Partners, L.P. (CVCEP) and Citigroup 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, for approximately $106.0 million, all of the shares of the Company held by CVC Europe and BNP Paribas, and a portion of the shares held by independent directors and management (2003 Stock Transaction). The 2003 Stock Transaction was completed on June 12, 2003, with CVCEP purchasing 265,762.48 shares of the Companys Class A common stock. For accounting purposes, the Company has used May 23, 2003, its May month-end, as the transaction date. After the completion of this transaction CVCEP and CVC collectively owned approximately 88.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, with management of CVCEP and directors and management of the Company holding the remaining shares. Prior to the 2003 Stock Transaction, CVC owned approximately 34.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. CVCEP is ultimately controlled by Citigroup, Inc. through limited and general partnership interests owned by its subsidiaries. CVC Europe is a group of limited partnerships in which Citigroup, Inc. owns a minority interest, but does not have management rights or control rights.
This substantial change in ownership arising from CVCEPs acquisition of the Companys stock, together with the Companys subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes, required that the purchase price paid in excess of the book value of the Companys equity acquired be allocated under the purchase method of accounting to the assets
5
and liabilities of the Company based upon a percentage of their fair values proportional to the percentage of the ownership change. The allocation was based upon preliminary estimates by management of the fair market values of identifiable assets and liabilities, with the remainder allocated to goodwill. The liabilities assumed included approximately $3.8 million of fees related to the transaction, which were paid by the Company on behalf of its shareholders. The Company is currently completing valuations of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The final allocation of the purchase price may materially differ from the preliminary estimates. The goodwill generated from this transaction is not deductible for income tax purposes. The purchase price has been allocated as follows:

Goodwill
The change in goodwill, net from December 26, 2003 to March 26, 2004 is a result of the change in foreign exchange rates used in converting the local currency goodwill balance into U.S. Dollars.
Stock Based Compensation
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company has elected to apply APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations in accounting for stock options issued under its equity compensation plan. Had compensation expense related to these stock options been determined based upon the fair value method under SFAS No. 123, net income would have been impacted as follows:

The fair value of each option was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using a risk free interest rate of 3.20%, an expected option life of 5 years, no volatility and no dividends.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, or SFAS No. 149. SFAS No. 149 clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative, amends the definition of an underlying contract and clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component in order to increase the comparability of accounting practices under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have an impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
4. Acquisitions
On November 18, 2003, pursuant to a tender offer, Amerimax Pennsylvania, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Euramax, acquired 93% of Berger Holdings outstanding common shares for $3.90 per share. The acquisition of Berger Holdings was completed on November 25, 2003 by the merger of Amerimax Pennsylvania, Inc. into Berger Holdings, with Berger Holdings as the survivor corporation. As a result of the merger, each common share of Berger Holdings not owned by Euramax was converted into the right to receive $3.90 per share in cash,
7
subject to dissenters rights. The total purchase price of this acquisition was approximately $36.8 million. The Company has allocated the purchase price in excess of the net assets acquired to Berger Holdings assets and liabilities under the purchase method of accounting based on preliminary estimates by management of fair market values of identifiable assets and liabilities, with the remainder allocated to goodwill. The Company is currently completing valuations of Berger Holdings assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and liabilities. The final allocation of the purchase price may materially differ from the preliminary allocation. Berger Holdings manufactures metal roof drainage products and roofing accessories as well as residential and commercial snow guards and is included in our U.S. Fabrication Roof Drainage segment. The results of operations of Berger Holdings are included in the Companys consolidated statement of earnings from the acquisition date.

As required under a registration rights agreement executed as part of the offering of the 8.50% senior subordinated notes due 2011 (the 8.50% Notes), the Company commenced an offer to exchange the 8.50% Notes for new notes (the New Notes), with terms substantially identical to the 8.50% Notes, except that the transfer restrictions and registration rights applicable to the 8.50% Notes do not apply to the New Notes. The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Companys registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the offer to exchange the 8.50% Notes for the New Notes effective on March 1, 2004. The offer to exchange the 8.50% Notes for the New Notes was completed on March 29, 2004, once all of the outstanding 8.50% Notes were exchanged for New Notes.
7. Financial Instruments:
In connection with the Companys risk management strategy, the Company enters into currency agreements and interest rate agreements for other than trading purposes with major financial institutions to reduce the impact of exchange rate and/or interest rate fluctuations related to debt payments. In March 2004, the Company entered into three Euro swaps (the Euro Swaps) with substantially equivalent terms. The terms of the Euro Swaps expire on August 15, 2011, and require the Company to pay approximately 49.3 million Euros with semi-annual payments at a weighted average interest rate of 8.81% in exchange for $60.0 million with semi-annual interest payments of 8.50%. The Euro Swaps were designated as cash flow hedges that effectively converted $60.0 million of the 8.50% senior subordinated notes due 2011 on the books of a Netherlands subsidiary into a fixed-rate Euro loan, which is expected to reduce the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on the principal and interest payments on the loan. The effectiveness of the Euro Swaps is being assessed using the hypothetical derivative method, which compares the change in the fair value of the Euro Swaps to the change in the value of a hypothetical derivative with terms that exactly match the critical terms of the foreign-currency denominated loan.
8. Commitments and Contingencies:
Raw Material Commitments
To assure continuity of supply, the Company negotiates contracts for minimum annual purchases of aluminum from several suppliers. Commitments for minimum annual purchases are typically at an agreed upon cost to convert aluminum ingot into coil. In addition, to ensure a margin on specific sales, the Company may commit to purchase aluminum ingot or coil at a fixed market price for future delivery. For further discussion of the Companys raw material commitments, see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 26, 2003, set forth in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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 is not estimable individually or in the aggregate, but 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.
9
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 be material. The Companys reserves, expenditures and expenses for all environmental exposures were not significant for any of the dates or periods presented.
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.
The facility that Berger Bros Company (Berger), an operating subsidiary acquired as part of the Berger Holdings acquisition, leases in Ivyland, Pennsylvania has contaminated groundwater resulting from the migration of contaminants from an adjacent property which was formerly the Naval Air Warfare Center, currently an NPL site under CERCLA. The United States Navy is conducting a clean-up of the Naval Air Warfare Center NPL site under the Environmental Protection Agencys supervision. The owner/landlord of the Berger property obtained liability protection under Pennsylvanias Brownfield Law by demonstrating to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that the contamination is from an off-site source, and under Pennsylvania law that protection benefits the tenant as well. Moreover, under Bergers lease, the landlord retained any liability for this contamination. Accordingly, although the facility leased by Berger is on an NPL site, the effects of this contamination would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

12. Segment Information:
The Companys acquisition of Berger Holdings, Ltd. on November 25, 2003 led to an assessment of operating segments that resulted in the Companys identification of the U.S. Fabrication Roof Drainage operating segment. The business activities included in the U.S. Fabrication Roof Drainage operating segment were previously included in the U.S. Fabrication segment. Accordingly, segment information has been revised to conform to the Companys revised segments. The Companys reportable segments are as follows:
European Roll Coating The European Roll Coating segment facilities primarily roll coat aluminum and steel sheet and coil for RV, transportation and building panel manufacturers.
U.S. Fabrication Roof Drainage The U.S. Fabrication Roof Drainage segment facilities primarily fabricate coated aluminum and steel coil to produce gutters, downspouts, soffit, fascia, gutter accessories and other products. Such products are primarily sold to home centers, distributors and home improvement contractors.
U.S. Fabrication Building Materials The U.S. Fabrication Building Materials segment facilities primarily fabricate coated aluminum and steel coil to produce roofing and siding panels, doors, windows, vehicle sidewalls and other products. Such products are primarily sold to RV manufacturers, rural contractors, home improvement contractors, industrial and architectural contractors and manufactured housing producers.
European Fabrication The European Fabrication segment facilities primarily fabricate aluminum extrusions and glass to produce windows, doors, shower enclosures, sunroofs and other products. Such products are primarily sold to transportation manufacturers, distributors, home centers and industrial and architectural contractors.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 26, 2003, set forth in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K. Segment data includes intersegment revenues. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based primarily on EBITDA.
12
The Company is organized primarily on the basis of seven operating segments. Certain operating segments with similar economic characteristics have been aggregated according to similarity of products, nature of production processes, types of customers and product distribution methods. Two European subsidiaries have been aggregated into the European Roll Coating segment, two U.S. subsidiaries have been aggregated into the U.S. Fabrication Building Materials segment and two European subsidiaries have been aggregated into the European Fabrication segment. The U.S. Fabrication Roof Drainage operating segment is reported separately. The table below presents information about reported segments as of and for the three months ended March 26, 2004 and March 28, 2003. Expenses, income and assets that are not segment specific relate to holding company and business development activities conducted for the overall benefit of the Company and, accordingly, are not attributable to the Companys segments.

13. Subsequent Events:
On March 31, 2004, the Company repurchased 55% of its outstanding common stock held by Court Square Capital Limited, or 93,324.34 shares, for an aggregate repurchase price of approximately $37.3 million. On April 30, 2004, the Company repurchased the remaining 45% of its outstanding common stock held by Court Square Capital Limited, or 76,356.28 shares, for an aggregate repurchase price of approximately $30.5 million. These repurchases were funded with borrowings under the Companys revolving credit facility.
14. Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements:
On August 6, 2003, Euramax International, Inc. and Euramax International Holdings B.V. (each a Co-Obligor) issued $200.0 million of 8.50% senior subordinated notes due 2011, which were subsequently exchanged for new notes with substantially identical terms. Each of the domestic restricted subsidiaries, as defined in the related bond indenture (the Guarantor Subsidiaries), fully and unconditionally guarantee the obligations of the Co-Obligors. The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial statements as of March 26, 2004 and December 26, 2003 and for the three months ended March 26, 2004 and March 28, 2003, reflect the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of each of the Co-Obligors, and such combined information of the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries), as if the guarantor structure of the $200.0 million of 8.50% senior subordinated notes due 2011 had been outstanding for each period. Euramax International Holdings B.V. was not acquired until July 17, 2003, had no assets or liabilities until August 6, 2003 and has no operations other than equity interests in consolidated subsidiaries that were acquired on March 16, 2004.

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 26, 2003.
Euramax is an international producer of value-added aluminum, steel, vinyl and fiberglass fabricated products, with facilities located in all major regions of the United States (U.S.), as well as the United Kingdom (U.K.), The Netherlands and France. Our manufacturing and distribution network consists of 43 strategically located facilities, of which 37 are located in the U.S. and 6 are located in Europe. We sell our products principally to two markets, the building and construction market and the transportation market. Our 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. In addition, we sell an extensive line of accessory products, including roofing and siding hardware, trim parts and roof drainage accessories. Our customers include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as RV, commercial panel and transportation industry manufacturers; rural contractors; home centers; home improvement contractors; distributors; industrial and architectural contractors; and manufactured housing producers.
Our results of operations have been separated into the predecessor period and successor period as a result of the application of purchase accounting in connection with the 2003 Stock Transaction described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net Sales. For the three months ended March 26, 2004, net sales were $195.4 million compared to $146.2 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003, an increase of $49.2 million or 33.7%. Net sales in the U.S. increased 32.4% to $113.8 million for the three months ended March 26, 2004, from $85.9 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003. This increase in net sales in the U.S. includes an increase in the U.S. Fabrication Roof Drainage segment of $16.3 million or 61.9% and an increase in the U.S. Fabrication Building Materials segment of $11.6 million or 19.4%. Net sales in the U.S. Fabrication Roof Drainage segment increased primarily as a result of higher sales volumes of raincarrying products to distributors, home centers and home improvement contractors, the acquisition of Berger Holdings in November 2003, together with higher selling prices resulting from rising aluminum and steel costs. Berger Holdings net sales in the three months ended March 28, 2003, prior to being acquired by Euramax, were $8.8 million. Net sales in the U.S. Fabrication Building Materials segment increased primarily as a result of higher sales volumes of fabricated aluminum and steel roofing and siding to rural and industrial and architectural contractors, manufactured housing producers and home centers, higher sales volumes of painted aluminum coil to external customers from our Helena, Arkansas paintline, and higher sales volumes of patio awning products and vinyl windows to home improvement contractors, together with higher selling prices resulting from rising aluminum and steel costs.
Net sales in Europe increased 35.5% to $81.6 million for the three months ended March 26, 2004, from $60.2 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003. This increase in net sales in Europe includes an increase in the European Roll Coating segment of $12.6 million or 35.0%, and an increase in the European Fabrication segment of $8.7 million or 36.2%. Approximately $6.7 million and $4.4 million of the increase in the European Roll Coating segment and the European Fabrication segment, respectively, were a result of the strengthening of the Euro and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar. The balance of the increase in the European Roll Coating segment primarily resulted from higher sales volumes of painted aluminum and steel coil to European OEMs (excluding RV manufacturers) and to European RV manufacturers. The balance of the increase in the European Fabrication segment resulted primarily from higher sales volumes to the European automotive industry, together with higher sales volumes of fabricated doors and windows to European RV manufacturers.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, were 80.3% for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to 80.4% for the three months ended March 28, 2003. The decrease as a percentage of net sales is largely attributable to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower margins on aluminum products. Lower margins on aluminum products resulted from higher aluminum costs, partially offset by higher aluminum selling prices. Aluminum and steel raw material purchase prices increased significantly during the first quarter of 2004 and have continued to escalate in the second quarter of 2004. Rising aluminum and steel prices are evidenced by an increase in the quarterly average aluminum London Metal Exchange price from $0.63/lb. in the first quarter of 2003 to $0.75/lb. in the first quarter of 2004, and widely publicized increases in steel prices resulting from strengthening world demand and industry consolidation in the U.S. While we have obtained
24
selling price increases and announced future price increases, we do not have agreements with our customers who purchase aluminum or steel products from us that obligates them to pay higher prices when the cost of aluminum or steel rises. Therefore, if aluminum or steel prices continue to rise and we are unable to pass any or all of these increases through to our customers, our gross profit will be adversely affected.
Selling and general. Selling and general expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 10.2% for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to 10.7% for the three months ended March 28, 2003. Selling and general expenses increased to $19.9 million in the three months ended March 26, 2004, from $15.6 million in the three months ended March 28, 2003. This increase resulted primarily from higher net sales in the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to the three months ended March 28, 2003, the acquisition of Berger Holdings in November 2003, in addition to a stronger Euro and Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar in the three months ended March 26, 2004, used in converting local currency into U.S. Dollars.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $5.1 million for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003. This increase primarily resulted from the acquisition of Berger Holdings in November 2003, a stronger Euro and Pound Sterling compared to the U.S. Dollar in 2004, in addition to additional expense resulting from the step-up in basis of our property, plant and equipment and intangible assets associated with the 2003 Stock Transaction.
Earnings from operations. Earnings from operations were $13.5 million for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003. Operating margin increased to 6.9% for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to 6.3% for the three months ended March 28, 2003.
Earnings from operations in the U.S. Fabrication Roof Drainage segment were $0.9 million for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003. Operating margin decreased to 2.1% for the three months ended March 26, 2004, from 2.9% for the three months ended March 28, 2003, primarily resulting from lower margins on aluminum products due to higher aluminum costs, partially offset by higher aluminum selling prices. Berger Holdings is included in the U.S. Fabrication Roof Drainage segments results for the three months ended March 26, 2004. The U.S. Fabrication Roof Drainage segments sales volumes are typically slower in the first quarter than in the second, third and fourth quarters, historically resulting in lower operating margins in the first quarter.
Earnings from operations in the U.S. Fabrication Building Materials segment were $1.9 million for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003. Operating margin increased to 2.7% for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to 2.1% in the three months ended March 28, 2003, primarily resulting from higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower margins on aluminum products. Lower margins on aluminum products primarily resulted from higher aluminum costs, partially offset by higher aluminum selling prices. The U.S. Fabrication Building Materials segments sales volumes are typically slower in the first quarter than in the second, third and fourth quarters, historically resulting in lower operating margins in the first quarter.
Earnings from operations in the European Roll Coating segment were $7.4 million for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003. Operating margin increased to 15.2% for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to 13.7% for the three months ended March 28, 2003, primarily resulting from higher sales volumes, together with operational improvements at our Corby, England paintline. The strengthening of the Euro and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar increased the European Roll Coating segments earnings from operations by $1.1 million.
Earnings from operations in the European Fabrication segment were $3.3 million for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003. Operating margin increased to 10.1% for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to 9.4% for the three months ended March 28, 2003, primarily resulting from higher sales volumes, together with a more profitable product mix. The
25
strengthening of the Euro and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar increased the European Fabrication segments earnings from operations by $0.5 million.
Interest expense, net. Net interest expense was $5.8 million for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003. The increase in net interest expense is a result of a higher deferred finance fee amortization expense in the three months ended March 26, 2004, together with a higher outstanding average debt balance during the three months ended March 26, 2004. On August 6, 2003 we issued $200.0 million 8.50% senior subordinated notes. The proceeds from this issuance were used to purchase our outstanding $135.0 million 11.25% senior subordinated notes. The average outstanding balance under our senior secured credit facility was $45.6 million at an average interest rate of 6.4% for the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to $73.4 million at an average interest rate of 5.6% for the three months ended March 28, 2003.
Other income, net. Other income was $0.8 million for the quarter ended March 26, 2004, compared to $0.2 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2003. Other income, net in both periods primarily resulted from foreign exchange gains on unhedged assets and 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 decreased to 34.4% from 39.3% for the three months ended March 26, 2004 and March 28, 2003, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a greater expected proportion of earnings in fiscal year 2004 in Europe, where the Company has a lower effective tax rate, together with a higher valuation allowance in 2003 due to the uncertainty of the future benefit of U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. Our primary liquidity needs arise from debt service and the funding of capital expenditures. Our liquidity sources at March 26, 2004 include $30.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and an undrawn amount of $98.7 million under our revolving credit facility, subject to borrowing base limitations. At March 26, 2004, the entire $98.7 million of the undrawn amount was available.
On March 31, 2004, we repurchased 55% of our outstanding common stock held by Court Square Capital Limited, or 93,324.34 shares, for an aggregate repurchase price of approximately $37.3 million. On April 30, 2004, we repurchased the remaining 45% of our outstanding common stock held by Court Square Capital Limited, or 76,356.28 shares, for an aggregate repurchase price of $30.5 million. These repurchases were funded with borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Our leveraged financial position requires that a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations be used to pay interest on the senior subordinated notes, principal and interest under our senior secured credit facility and other indebtedness. Significant increases in the floating interest rates on borrowings under our senior secured credit facility would result in increased debt service requirements, which may reduce the funds available for capital expenditures and other operational needs. In addition, our leveraged position may impede our ability to obtain financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Further, our leveraged position may make us more vulnerable to economic downturns, may limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures, and may limit our ability to comply with restrictive financial covenants required under our senior secured credit facility.
Our primary source of liquidity is funds generated from operations, which are supplemented by borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. Net cash used by operating activities for the three months ended March 26, 2004 and March 28, 2003, were $25.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively. In addition to cash generated from
26
earnings, key components of our cash flow from operations are changes in our working capital accounts. The three months ended March 26, 2004 include a use of cash resulting from an increase in accounts receivable and inventories of $16.3 million and $14.8 million, respectively, and a decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $1.8 million. The three months ended March 28, 2003 include a use of cash resulting from an increase in accounts receivable and inventories of $10.8 million and $8.6 million, respectively. Partially offsetting this use of cash was cash provided by an increase in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $13.7 million. See discussion of working capital below.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 26, 2004, from $3.0 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003. This decrease is the result of lower capital expenditures in the three months ended March 26, 2004, compared to the three months ended March 28, 2003. The three months ended March 26, 2004 include a use of cash of $1.2 million for costs associated with the acquisition of Berger Holdings on November 25, 2003.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $9.1 million for the three months ended March 26, 2004, from $3.4 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003. During the three months ended March 26, 2004, the Company borrowed $11.4 million under its revolving credit facility, compared to $5.4 million in the three months ended March 28, 2003. These borrowings were primarily used to fund working capital needs. Additionally, during the three months ended March 26, 2004, the Company repaid long-term debt of $1.4 million. During the three months ended March 28, 2003, the Company repurchased Euramax International Class A common stock for $1.4 million in connection with the retirement of a key employee.
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. Our capital expenditures were $1.3 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended March 26, 2004 and March 28, 2003, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2004 include approximately $0.1 million for improvements to the paintlines in Helena, Arkansas; Corby, England; and Roermond, The Netherlands; and approximately $0.2 million for several projects related to business expansion. Capital expenditures in 2003 included approximately $0.3 million 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. The balance of capital expenditures in both periods related to purchases and upgrades of fabricating equipment, transportation and material moving equipment, and information systems.
We have made and will continue to make capital expenditures to comply with environmental laws. We estimate that our environmental capital expenditures for 2004 will approximate $0.5 million.
Working Capital Management. Working capital was $133.3 million as of March 26, 2004, compared to $116.8 million as of December 26, 2003. This increase in working capital is largely attributable to higher accounts receivable and inventories, partially offset by lower cash and cash equivalents as of March 26, 2004. Seasonal demands of the business result in substantial increases from year end in trade accounts receivable and inventories.
Accounts receivable of $137.7 million as of March 26, 2004, increased $16.0 million, from $121.7 million as of December 26, 2003. The primary reason for this increase was an 8.4% increase in net sales in the two months ended March 26, 2004, compared to the two months ended December 26, 2003. The majority of outstanding accounts receivable at the end of each period are generated from net sales in the preceding two months. As of March 26, 2004, days sales outstanding in accounts receivable were 64.1 days, compared to 53.9 days as of December 26, 2003 and 61.9 days as of March 28, 2003. The timing of net sales during the quarter typically results in higher days sales outstanding in accounts receivable at the end of March compared to the end of December.
27
Inventories of $104.1 million as of March 26, 2004, increased $14.6 million, from $89.5 million as of December 26, 2003. As of March 26, 2004, days sales in inventories was 57.0 days, compared to 51.9 days as of December 26, 2003 and 61.3 days as of March 28, 2003. Seasonal demands typically result in higher inventory balances at the end of March compared to the end of December. Additionally, higher aluminum and steel raw material costs increased inventory balances as of March 26, 2004, compared to December 26, 2003.
Our exposure to environmental matters has not changed significantly from the year ended December 26, 2003. For detailed information regarding environmental matters, see Managements Discussion and Analysis Risk Management set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2003.
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 we operate, and managements beliefs and assumptions. Such forward-looking statements include terminology such as may, will, should, expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, contemplates, projects, predicts, estimates, or variations of such words and similar expressions regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. Forward-looking statements in this report include, but are not limited to: (1) statements regarding our expectation that our sources 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 our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows; (3) statements regarding managements belief that our 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 we have 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 our future financial position, net earnings or cash flows; and (4) statements regarding the effect rising aluminum and steel costs may have on gross profit. 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 our 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2003, as well as our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We assume no obligation to update publicly our 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 26, 2003, except as
28
follows. In March 2004, the Company entered into three Euro swaps (the Euro Swaps) with substantially equivalent terms. The terms of the Euro Swaps expire on August 15, 2011, and require the Company to pay approximately 49.3 million Euros with semi-annual payments at a weighted average interest rate of 8.81% in exchange for $60.0 million with semi-annual interest payments of 8.50%. The Euro Swaps were designated as cash flow hedges that effectively converted $60.0 million of the 8.50% senior subordinated notes due 2011 on the books of a Netherlands subsidiary into a fixed-rate Euro loan, which is expected to reduce the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on the principal and interest payments on the loan. 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 26, 2003.
Interest Rate Risk
This analysis presents the hypothetical increase in interest expense and increase in other expense related to those financial instruments and derivative instruments held by us at March 26, 2004, that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 10 percent increase in interest rates for one year on our variable rate financial instruments would increase interest expense by approximately $0.3 million as calculated at March 26, 2004, as compared to a hypothetical increase in interest expense of approximately $0.2 million as calculated at December 26, 2003.
A hypothetical 10 percent decrease in interest rates for one year on our derivative instruments would increase other expense by approximately $0.2 million as calculated at March 26, 2004, compared to a hypothetical increase in other expense of approximately $0.1 million as calculated at December 26, 2003.
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 us at March 26, 2004, that are sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange risks. A hypothetical 10 percent increase in the British Pound compared to the U.S. Dollar would increase our foreign exchange loss by approximately $3.8 million as calculated at March 26, 2004, compared to a hypothetical increase in foreign exchange loss of approximately $2.1 million as calculated at December 26, 2003. A hypothetical 10 percent decrease in the Euro compared to the U.S. Dollar would increase our foreign exchange loss by approximately $0.3 million as calculated at March 26, 2004, compared to a hypothetical increase in foreign exchange loss of approximately $1.2 million as calculated at December 26, 2003.
All other factors remaining unchanged, a hypothetical 10 percent increase in foreign currency exchange rates for one year would increase interest expense by approximately $0.2 million as calculated at March 26, 2004, for those financial instruments and derivative instruments affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations, as compared to a hypothetical increase in interest expense of approximately $0.2 million as calculated at December 26, 2003.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of March 26, 2004, based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and 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 reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) 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, there were no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with that evaluation that occurred during the quarter ended March 26, 2004, that have materially
29
affected or would be reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Part II - Other Information
We are not currently parties to any pending legal procedures other than such proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. We believe that such proceedings would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
