Mac-Gray Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(In thousands, except per share data)

 

1.              Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In the opinion of the management of Mac-Gray Corporation (the “Company” or “Mac-Gray”), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments), which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations, and its cash flows.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2004 audited consolidated financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

The Company generates the majority of its revenue from card or coin-operated laundry equipment located in 40 states throughout the United States, as well as the District of Columbia.  A portion of its revenue is also derived from the sale of the Company’s MicroFridge® product lines.  The Company’s principal customer base is the multi-housing market, which consists of apartments, condominium units, colleges and universities, military bases, hotels and motels.  The Company also sells, services and leases commercial laundry equipment to commercial laundromats and institutions.  The majority of the Company’s purchases of laundry equipment are from one supplier.  The Company also derives a small portion of its revenue from card/coin-operated reprographic equipment.

 

2.              Acquisitions

 

On January 10, 2005, the Company acquired the laundry facilities management assets of Web Service Company, Inc., or “Web”, in several western and southern states.  On January 16, 2004, the Company acquired Web’s laundry facilities management assets in the eastern United States.  Also on January 16, 2004, the Company sold certain of its laundry facilities management assets for approximately $2,000 to Web.  In accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, the disposal of assets and related contracts was recognized at fair value, the difference between the fair value and the Company’s cost recognized as a gain and the fair value of the assets transferred to the seller is included in the acquisition costs.  This sale resulted in a gain of approximately $1,218.  The acquisitions have been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisitions, and have been accounted for as purchase business combinations in accordance with SFAS No. 141.  The total purchase price of these acquisitions have been allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on estimates of their related fair value.  The Company engaged an independent business appraisal firm to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired in each acquisition and to advise the Company on the proper allocation of the purchase price.  For each acquisition a twenty-year amortization period has been assigned to the acquired contract rights and a five-year depreciation period has been assigned to the acquired used laundry equipment.  The amount allocated to the trade name will not be amortized as the Company believes it will use the name indefinitely.  These acquisitions help fulfill the Company’s strategic objective of increasing laundry equipment density in the eastern region of the United States and also address the Company’s growth objectives by penetrating new geographic markets.  In addition, these acquisitions expand the Company’s leading position in the academic marketplace and creates other opportunities for economies of scale.

The total purchase price of each of these acquisitions, including assumed liabilities of $489 and $4,280, respectively, was allocated as follows:

3.              Long Term Debt

 

Concurrent with the January 10, 2005 acquisition, the Company entered into a new Senior Secured Credit Facility (“2005 Credit Facility”).  This transaction retired both the June 2003 Revolving Line of Credit and the June 2003 Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, which had been amended in January 2004 (the “January 2004 amendment”).  The 2005 Credit Facility provides for borrowings up to $200,000, consisting of a $120,000 Revolving Line of Credit (“2005 Revolver”) and an $80,000 Senior Secured Term Loan Facility (“2005 Term Loan”). Both portions of the 2005 Credit Facility mature on January 10, 2010.  The 2005 Credit Facility is collateralized by a blanket lien on the assets of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, except for its corporate headquarters, as well as a pledge by the Company of all the capital stock of its subsidiaries. The 2005 Term Loan requires quarterly payments of $2,000 during 2005, $3,000 during 2006, $4,000 during 2007, $5,000 during 2008, and $6,000 for the first three quarters of 2009 and a final payment of $6,000 on January 10, 2010.  In addition to the scheduled quarterly payments, the Company is required to pay an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow, as defined, for each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, if the Funded Debt Ratio (as defined) is greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00.  This payment is first used to reduce the 2005 Term Loan with any remaining amounts used to reduce the revolving line of credit.

 

Outstanding indebtedness under the 2005 Credit Facility, which totals $167,367 at March 31, 2005, bears interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 1.25%, or LIBOR plus 2.25%.  The applicable prime rate and LIBOR margin may be adjusted quarterly based on certain financial ratios.  The average interest rate at December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005 was 4.5% and 5.0%, respectively.

 

The 2005 Credit Facility contains a commitment fee which is calculated as a percentage of the average daily-unused portion of the 2005 Credit Facility. This percentage, currently 0.0375%, may be adjusted quarterly based on the Funded Debt Ratio.

 

The 2005 Credit Facility includes certain financial and operational covenants, including restrictions on paying dividends and other distributions, making certain acquisitions and incurring indebtedness, and requires that the Company maintain certain financial ratios.  The most important of these financial ratios are for the Company to maintain a leverage ratio equal to or less than 3.75 to 1.00 and a coverage ratio of greater than equal to or greater than 1.00 to 1.00.  All covenants are measured quarterly.  The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at March 31, 2005.

Concurrent with the January 2004 amendment and the January 2005 Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company expensed approximately $183 and $207 in deferred financing costs in the periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.

 

On March 4, 2004, the Company obtained a $4,000 mortgage loan on its corporate headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%, has a twenty-five year amortization, which includes quarterly payments of $40 plus interest, and has a balloon payment of $3,280 due upon its maturity on December 31, 2008.  As of March 31, 2005, there was $3,840 outstanding under the mortgage loan and the interest rate was 5.56%.

 

Long-term debt also includes capital lease obligations totaling $2,465 at December 31, 2004 and $2,763 at March 31, 2005.

 

Long-term debt also includes two notes payable associated with the January 2005 acquisition, which total $5,800 at March 31, 2005.  Of this amount, $3,700 is due in a lump sum in October 2005 while the $2,100 is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest of $100 and a balloon payment of the balance in May 2006.

 

Required payments under the Company’s long-term debt and capital lease obligations are as follows:

4.              Derivative Instruments

 

The Company has entered into standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) interest rate swap agreements (the “Swap Agreements”) to manage the interest rate risk associated with its debt.  The Company has designated its interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges.  The table below outlines the details of each swap agreement:

In accordance with the Swap Agreements and on a quarterly basis, interest expense is calculated based on the floating 90-day LIBOR and the fixed rate.  If interest expense as calculated is greater based on the 90-day LIBOR, the financial institution pays the difference to the Company; if interest expense as calculated is greater based on the fixed rate, the Company pays the difference to the financial institution.  Depending on fluctuations in the LIBOR, the Company’s interest rate exposure and its related impact on interest expense and net cash flow may increase or decrease.  The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counter party to the swap agreement; however, nonperformance is not anticipated.

 

The fair value of the Swap Agreements is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the credit worthiness of the counter party.  At December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, the fair value of the Swap

Agreements, net of related taxes, were unrealized gains of $940 and $1,442, respectively.  These amounts have been included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

On June 24, 2003, the Company terminated its two $20,000 interest rate swap agreements, which had been in effect since February 2000 and January 2002, respectively.  The January 2002 interest rate swap agreement was due to expire in February 2004 while the February 2000 interest rate swap agreement was due to expire in February 2005.  The Company paid $3,037 to terminate both the February 2000 and January 2002 swap agreements.  As the timing of the forecasted future interest payments did not significantly change as a result of the new credit facility, the accumulated other comprehensive losses related to the terminated interest rate swap agreements are reclassified against current period earnings in the same period the forecasted interest payments occur.  Upon termination, there was $1,419, net of taxes of $946, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  The $88 associated with the January 2002 interest rate swap agreement was reclassified as an earnings charge through February 2004 and the $1,331 associated with the February 2000 interest rate swap agreement was reclassified as an earnings charge through February 2005.

 

The changes in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income relate entirely to the Company’s interest rate swap agreements.  The components of other comprehensive income are as follows:

6.              Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is involved in various litigation proceedings arising in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, under pending litigation would not materially affect its financial condition or the results of its operations.

 

7.              New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43 Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 is applicable for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS 151 requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight and rehandling be recognized as current-period charges rather than being included in inventory regardless of whether the costs meet the criterion of abnormal as defined in ARB 43. The Company is currently completing its evaluation of the adoption of SFAS 151 and the impact, if any, that this statement will have on its results of operations.

 

13



 

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and amends SFAS No. 95 “Statement of Cash Flows.” SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.  SFAS 123R is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, or for the Company, January 1, 2006.  In March 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payments” (“SAB 107”).  SAB 107 expresses views of the SEC regarding the interaction between SFAS and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the SEC’s views regarding the valuation of share-based compensation for public companies. The Company is currently completing its evaluation of the adoption of SFAS 123R and the impact that this statement will have on its results of operations.  The Company will apply the principles of SAB 107 in conjunction with its adoption of SFAS 123R.

 

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47”), “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN 47 clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Assets Retirements Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Furthermore, the uncertainty about the timing and or method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FIN 47 clarifies that an entity is required to recognize the liability for the fair value of a conditional asset when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Company is studying FIN 47 and has not determined what effect, if any, FIN 47 will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company will implement FIN 47 effective January 1, 2006.

9.              Segment Information

 

The Company operates four business units which are based on the Company’s different product and service categories: Laundry Facilities Management, Laundry Equipment Sales, MicroFridge® and Reprographics.  These four business units have been aggregated into two reportable segments (“Facilities Management” and “Product Sales”).  The reprographics business unit is included in the Facilities Management segment as its revenue and related direct expenses are immaterial for business segment reporting purposes.  The Facilities Management segment provides coin and card-operated laundry equipment to multiple housing facilities such as apartment buildings, colleges and universities and public housing complexes.  It also provides coin and card-operated reprographics equipment to academic and public libraries through its reprographics business unit.  The Product Sales segment includes two business units: MicroFridge® and Laundry Equipment Sales.  The MicroFridge® business unit sells its own patented and proprietary line of refrigerator/freezer/microwave oven combinations to a customer base which includes colleges and universities, government, hotel, motel and assisted living facilities.  The Laundry Equipment Sales unit operates as a distributor of and provides service to commercial laundry equipment in public laundromats, as well as institutional purchasers, including hospitals, hotels and the United States government for use in their own on-premise laundry facilities.

 

Prior to January 2005, the Company operated the same four business units but they were aggregated into different reportable segments (“Laundry and Reprographics” and “MicroFridge®”).  The Laundry and Reprographics segment included the Laundry Facilities Management, Laundry Equipment Sales and Reprographics Facilities Management business units while the MicroFridge® segment included only MicroFridge® sales, which included laundry equipment sales to the United States military.

 

In January 2005, the Company restructured portions of its sales organization and the corresponding internal financial reporting of its business segments to improve the sales and marketing efforts associated with the sales of equipment and appliances.

 

There are no intersegment revenues.

 

The tables below present information about the operations of the reportable segments of Mac-Gray for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2005.  The information presented represents the key financial metrics that are utilized by the Company’s senior management in assessing the performance of each of the Company’s reportable segments.  For comparative purposes the Company has reclassified sales of laundry equipment to be included in the Product Sales segment for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

10.       Stock Compensation

 

The Company’s stock option plans are accounted for at intrinsic value in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”).  The Company uses the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”).  Under APB No. 25, the Company does not recognize compensation expense on stock options granted to employees, because the exercise price of each option is equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant.

 

If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date as prescribed by SFAS 123, the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

The Company offers limited-duration warranties on MicroFridge® products and, at the time of sale, provides reserves for all estimated warranty costs based upon historical warranty costs.  Actual costs have not exceeded the Company’s estimates.

On April 15, 2005, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell its corporate headquarters for $11,750.  The agreement, which is subject to customary due diligence by the purchaser, is expected to close in the second quarter.  Proceeds of the sale, estimated to be $7,500 net of taxes and closing costs, will be used to repay the $3,800 mortgage on the property and reduce senior debt.

 

On May 2, 2005, the Company entered into additional standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) interest rate swap agreements to manage the additional interest rate risk associated with its 2005 Credit Facility.  The Company has designated its interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges.  The table below outlines the details of each swap agreement.  These swap agreements are in addition to the 2003 and 2004 swap agreements, which remain in place.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This report contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views about future events and financial performance.  Investors should not rely on forward-looking statements because they are subject to a variety of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: ability to meet future capital requirements to replace equipment and implement new technology; compliance with financial and operational covenants included in the 2005 Senior Secured Credit Facility; dependence upon certain suppliers, such as Maytag Corporation; lease renewals; retention of senior executives; market acceptance of new products and services; the impact of multi-housing vacancy rates; implementation of acquisition strategy; integration of acquired businesses; and those factors discussed under Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Risk Factors” in Mac-Gray’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, and Mac-Gray’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Overview

 

Mac-Gray operates two different reportable business segments: “Facilities Management,” which includes the core business of operating laundry rooms in the multi-unit housing industry, and “Product Sales,” which includes the sales of laundry equipment, MicroFridge® products, and other appliances, equipment and related service businesses operated by the Company.  Also included in the “Facilities Management” segment is the reprographics facility revenue and related direct expenses, which are immaterial for business segment reporting purposes.  Prior to 2005, the Company reported its business segments as Laundry and Reprographics (consisting of laundry facilities management, laundry equipment sales and reprographic facilities management) and MicroFridge®.  Prior year financial information has been reclassified to conform to current segment reporting.

 

Mac-Gray derives its revenue principally as a laundry facilities management contractor for the multi-housing industry.  Mac-Gray also sells and services commercial laundry equipment, sells and rents MicroFridge® equipment, sells residential kitchen appliances to the multi-unit housing industry and operates card/coin-operated reprographics equipment in academic institutions and public libraries.  Mac-Gray operates laundry rooms under long-term leases with property owners.

 

Mac-Gray’s laundry facilities management segment is comprised of revenue-generating laundry machines, operated in approximately 45,000 multi-housing laundry rooms located in 40 states and the District of Columbia.  Mac-Gray’s reprographics segment derives revenue principally through managing card/coin operated reprographics equipment in college and municipal libraries and is concentrated in the northeastern United States.

 

The Company’s product sales segment derives its revenue, in part, from selling and servicing commercial laundry equipment manufactured by The Maytag Corporation, American Dryer Corp., The Dexter Company, and Whirlpool Corporation.  The Company sells laundry equipment to public laundromats, restaurants, hotels, health clubs and similar institutional users that operate their own on-premise laundry facilities.  The product sales segment also derives revenue through the sales of laundry equipment to the United States government.  Additionally, revenue is generated through the sale and rental of its MicroFridge® Units to military bases, the hotel and motel market, colleges and universities and assisted living facilities and the sales of kitchen appliances to multi-unit residential housing developments.

 

The historical financial information presented herein represents the consolidated results of Mac-Gray.  The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto presented elsewhere in this report and with the annual financial statements and related

notes previously filed by Mac-Gray with the SEC in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Recent Developments
 

On January 10, 2005, the Company acquired all of Web Service Company, Inc.’s laundry facilities management assets in 13 western and southern states.  The purchase price consisted of approximately $113 million in cash and assumed liabilities.  This transaction will add approximately $69 million of annual net revenue, representing approximately 50% of 2004 revenue derived from laundry facility management operations, and increasing the percentage of consolidated revenue derived from laundry facilities management to approximately 80%.

 

The total purchase price, including related costs of acquisition of $893, was allocated as follows:

Concurrent with the Web acquisition, we entered into a new Senior Secured Credit Facility with a group of lenders to increase our borrowing capacity from $105 million to $200 million, consisting of a $120 million five-year revolving credit line and an $80 million five-year term loan.  Both the term and the revolving portions of this credit facility mature on January 10, 2010.  The Senior Secured Credit Facility is collateralized by a blanket lien on the assets of the Company, except for its corporate headquarters, and each of its subsidiaries, as well as a pledge by the Company of all the capital stock of its subsidiaries. To manage the additional interest rate risk, the Company, on April 29, 2005, committed to additional interest rate swaps which were effective as of May 2, 2005.

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $62,373, as compared to $43,560 for the same period in 2004, for an increase of $18,813, or 43%.  This increase is primarily attributable to the revenue associated with the laundry facilities management business acquired on January 10, 2005, which contributed $16,337, or 87% of the total increase. Organic growth contributed $2,090, or 11%, of the increase in revenue.  This growth was derived from the net addition of assets placed in the field, vending price increases, increase in usage of installed equipment, and the conversion of coin-operated to card-operated equipment.  The product sales division’s increase of $386 accounted for 2% of the total increase in revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

 

Facilities management revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was comprised of laundry facilities management revenue of $52,694, and reprographic revenue of $817 as compared to the first quarter of 2004 when laundry facilities management revenue was $34,023 and reprographic revenue was $1,061.  Product sales revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was comprised MicroFridge® sales of $5,659 and laundry equipment sales of $3,203 as compared to the first quarter of 2004 when sales of MicroFridge® equipment was $5,527 and laundry equipment sales revenue was $2,949.

 

The increase in laundry facilities management revenue of $18,671, or 55%, as compared to the first quarter of 2004 was attributable primarily to the revenue associated with the purchase of laundry facilities management contracts on January 10, 2005, which generated $16,337 or 87% of the increase in laundry facilities management revenue.  The remaining $2,334 of this increase was attributable primarily to the placement of additional laundry equipment in the field as well as selected vend price increases.  This additional equipment was added through successful internal sales efforts.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in reprographics revenue which totaled $817 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $1,061 for the same period in 2004, a decrease of $244, or 23%. The revenue decline is primarily attributable to the continued decline in copy volume at public and private libraries due to the continued increase in printing from the Internet as well as the Company’s strategy of discontinuing customer contracts that do not provide the level of business to justify continued investment.

 

MicroFridge® equipment sales and rental revenue increased by $132, or 2%, for the first quarter of 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004.  This increase was the net of an increase in sales to the hospitality market and a decrease in sales to the United States government.  We believe that our sales to the government are affected by changes in government spending priorities. Laundry equipment sales increased by $254, or 9%, for the first quarter of 2005 when compared to the same period of 2004.  This increase is primarily attributable to the timing of sales as laundry equipment sales can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.  The timing of sales is sensitive to the strength of the economy, consumer confidence, local permitting, and the availability of financing to the small businesses that are our customers.

Cost of Facilities Management Revenue. Cost of facilities management revenue includes rent paid to facilities management clients as well as those costs associated with installing and servicing machines and costs of collecting, counting, and depositing facilities management revenue. Cost of facilities management revenue increased by $11,523, or 49%, to $35,058 in the first quarter of 2005 from $23,535 for the same period in 2004.  The primary cause of the cost increase was the addition of the costs of the business acquired in January 2005.  As a percentage of facilities management revenue, these costs are relatively consistent at 66% and 67% respectively, for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004.  Laundry facilities management rent expense as a percentage of revenue increased quarter over quarter due to the acquired business having a higher contractual cost of facilities management rent than the Company’s pre-existing laundry facilities management business.  Lower operating expenses have partially offset this increase, as a percentage of revenue, in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.  These lower operating expenses, expressed as a percentage of revenue, are the result of economies of scale as the new Web business was integrated into Mac-Gray.

 

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization increased by $2,782, or 56%, to $7,745 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared $4,963 for the same period in 2004.  This increase was primarily attributable to the addition of the assets and contracts comprising the laundry facilities management business purchased in January 2005.  The laundry facilities management field equipment acquired had an assigned value of $25,099 as of the acquisition date and is being depreciated over five years.  The laundry facility contract rights acquired had an assigned value of $68,580 as of the acquisition date and are being amortized over twenty years. The equipment and contract rights are depreciated and amortized using the straight-line method.  Also contributing to the increased depreciation expense was new equipment placed in laundry facilities at new locations and replacement of older equipment as contracts were renegotiated.

 

Cost of Product Sold.  Cost of product sold consists primarily of the cost of laundry equipment, MicroFridge® equipment, parts and supplies sold.  Cost of product sold increased $499, or 8%, to $6,449 in the first quarter of 2005, as compared to $5,950 for the same period in 2004.  As a percentage of sales, cost of product sold was approximately 75% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to 72% in the corresponding period in 2004.  This percentage change is a combination of laundry equipment sales generating a slightly higher gross margin for the period ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004, offset by a reduction in gross margin for the MicroFridge® sales over the same period.  The variation in percentages is due primarily to the changes in product mix.

 

Selling, General and Administration Expenses.  Selling, general and administration expense increased by $1,838, or 31%, to $7,707 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $5,869 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase of $1,838 is primarily attributable to increases in personnel costs resulting from the January, 2005 acquisition and the increase in professional fees attributable to the company’s use of outside consultants to assist in the company’s compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administration expense decreased to 12% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 13% for the same period in 2004. 

 

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt.  Concurrent with the January 10, 2005 acquisition, the Company entered into a new senior secured credit facility. In connection with the new facility, unamortized financing costs of $207 associated with the June 2003 loan agreement as amended in January 2004 were expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2005. In connection with the January 2004 amendment to the senior secured credit facility, unamortized financing costs of $183 were expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2004

 

Income from Operations.  Income from operations was $5,231 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $4,293 for the same period in 2004, for an increase of $938, or 22%.  To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, we have used a non-GAAP measure of adjusted net income.  Management believes presentation of this measure is appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our historical financial performance and future prospects.  Adjusted net income, which is adjusted to exclude certain gains and losses from the comparable GAAP net income, is an indication of our baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results.  Excluding the loss on early extinguishment of debt and the gain on sale of assets, income from operations, as adjusted, would have been $5,438 for the first quarter of 2005 and $3,258 of the same period in 2004, or a 67% increase.  This increase is due primarily to the reasons discussed above.

Interest and Other (Income) Expense.  Interest expense, net of interest income increased by $1,205, or 113%, to $2,272 for the period ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $1,067 for the same period in 2004.  The increase is attributable to the increased borrowings in January 2005 to finance the approximately $113 million acquisition of laundry facility management contracts and related assets and an increase in the average borrowing rate to 5% for the period ended March 31, 2005 compared to an average rate of 4.3% for the corresponding period in the prior year.  Non-cash interest expense associated with the accounting treatment of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements was $196 in the period ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $369 for the same period of 2004.

 

Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes decreased by $130, or 7%, to $1,257 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $1,387 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.  The decrease is due primarily to a decrease in taxable income of $267 and a decrease in the effective tax rate of 0.5% for the period ended March 31, 2005, compared to the period ended March 31, 2004.  The decrease in taxable income is discussed above.  The change in the effective tax rate to 42.5% from 43% in the prior corresponding period is primarily due to permanent differences between deductions for financial reporting and tax reporting.

 

Seasonality

 

The Company experiences moderate seasonality as a result of its significant operations in the college and university market.  Revenues derived from the college and university market represented approximately 20% of the Company’s total annual revenue in 2004.  Academic route and rental revenues are derived substantially during the school year in the first, second and fourth calendar quarters.  Conversely, the Company’s operating and capital expenditures have historically been higher during the third calendar quarter, when the Company installs a large number of machines while colleges and universities are generally on summer break.  Product sales, principally of MicroFridge® products, to this market are also typically higher during the third calendar quarter as compared to the rest of the calendar year.  The laundry facilities management business acquired in January 2005 is not expected to affect the degree of seasonality experienced by the Company.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Dollars in thousands)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, Mac-Gray’s source of cash has been primarily from operating activities and, in connection with the January 2005 acquisition, funds borrowed under the Company’s credit facility.  In addition to the January 2005 acquisition, the Company’s primary uses of cash have been the purchase of new laundry machines and MicroFridge® equipment, and reduction of debt.  The Company anticipates that it will continue to use cash flow from its operating activities to finance working capital needs, including interest payments on outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures, and other purposes.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, cash flows provided by operations were $12,460 and $12,575, respectively.  Cash flows from operations consists primarily of facilities management revenue and product sales, offset by the cost of facilities management revenues, cost of product sold, and

selling, general and administration expenses.  The slight decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004 is attributable to ordinary changes in working capital and the addition of the laundry facilities management business acquired in January 2005.  The most significant increases in cash flows provided by operating activities were an increase in depreciation and amortization, an increase in accounts payable, accrued facilities management rent and accrued expenses and a decrease in accounts receivable.  The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily attributable to the collection of outstanding balances due the Company for sales occurring in the fourth quarter of 2004.  Sales of laundry and MicroFridge® equipment in the fourth quarter of 2004 exceeded sales of those products in the first quarter of 2005.  The increase of $2,317 in accounts payable, accrued facilities management rent and accrued expenses is primarily due to the timing of purchases of inventory, capital equipment and services and when such expenditures are due to be paid.  The January 2005 acquisition of the laundry facilities management business also caused an increase in accrued facilities management rent at March 31, 2005 as compared to March 31, 2004. Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the period ended March 31, 2005, as compared to the period ended March 31, 2004, due primarily to the January 2005 acquisition.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, cash flows used in investing activities were $111,804 and $42,282, respectively.  The increase was due primarily to the January 2005 acquisition for $106,186 compared to the January 2004 acquisition for $40,481.  Other capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004 were $5,651 and $3,814, respectively.  This increase of $1,837, or 48% was the result of more laundry equipment being placed in service, and more laundry facilities contracts being renegotiated in the first quarter of 2005 than in the same period on 2004, due in part to the addition of laundry facilities contracts acquired in January 2005.  Cash flows used in investing activities in 2004 also include $2,000 of proceeds from the January 2004 sale of laundry facilities equipment and contracts in several western states.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, cash flows provided by financing activities were $104,711 and $31,116, respectively.  Cash flows provided by financing activities consist primarily of net proceeds from bank borrowing, and other long-term debt, which increased due to borrowings to fund the January 2005 acquisition.  Also included in the periods ended March 31, are the financing cost related to the new senior credit facility entered into in January 2005 and the 2003 Senior Secured Credit Facility amendment obtained in January 2004, both in connection with the Web acquisitions.

 

On January 10, 2005, the Company entered into a new Senior Secured Credit Facility.  This transaction retired both the June 2003 Revolving Line of Credit and the June 2003 Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, which had been amended in January 2004.  The 2005 Credit Facility provides for borrowings up to $200,000, consisting of a $120,000 Revolving Line of Credit (“2005 Revolver”) and an $80,000 Senior Secured Term Loan Facility (“2005 Term Loan”). Both portions of the 2005 Credit Facility mature on January 10, 2010.  The 2005 Credit Facility is collateralized by a blanket lien on the assets of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, except for its corporate headquarters, as well as a pledge by the Company of all the capital stock of its subsidiaries. The 2005 Term Loan requires quarterly payments of $2,000 during 2005, $3,000 during 2006, $4,000 during 2007, $5,000 during 2008, and $6,000 for the first three quarters of 2009 and a final payment of $6,000 on January 10, 2010.  In addition to the scheduled quarterly payments, the Company is required to pay an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow, as defined, for each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, if the Funded Debt Ratio (as defined) is greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00  This payment is first used to reduce the 2005 Term Loan with any remaining amounts used to reduce the revolving line of credit.

 

Outstanding indebtedness under the 2005 Credit Facility bears interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 1.25%, or LIBOR plus 2.25%.  The Applicable prime rate and LIBOR margin may be adjusted quarterly based on certain financial ratios.  The average interest rate at March 31, 2005 was 5.0% compared to an average interest rate on the Company’s prior credit facility of 4.3% at March 31, 2004.

 

24



 

The 2005 Credit Facility contains a commitment fee which is calculated as a percentage of the average daily-unused portion of the 2005 Credit Facility. This percentage, currently 0.0375%, may be adjusted quarterly based on the Funded Debt Ratio.

 

The 2005 Credit Facility includes certain financial and operational covenants, including restrictions on paying dividends and other distributions, making certain acquisitions and incurring indebtedness, and requires that the Company maintain certain financial ratios.  The most important of these financial ratios are for the Company to maintain a leverage ratio equal to or less than 3.75 to 1.00 and a coverage ratio of greater than equal to or greater than 1.00 to 1.00.  All covenants are measured quarterly.  The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at March 31, 2005.

 

The Company has entered into standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) interest rate swap agreements (the “Swap Agreements”) to manage the interest rate risk associated with its debt.  The Company has designated its interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges.  The table below outlines the details of each swap agreement:

On May 2, 2005, as required by the 2005 Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company entered into additional interest rate swap agreements to manage the interest rate risk associated with its 2005 Senior Secured Credit Facility.  The Company has also designated these interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges.  The table below outlines the details of each additional swap agreement:

In accordance with the Swap Agreements and on a quarterly basis, interest expense is calculated based on the floating 90-day LIBOR and the fixed rate.  If interest expense as calculated is greater based on the 90-day LIBOR, the financial institution pays the difference to the Company; if interest expense as calculated is greater based on the fixed rate, the Company pays the difference to the financial institution.

Depending on fluctuations in the LIBOR, the Company’s interest rate exposure and its related impact on interest expense and net cash flow may increase or decrease.  The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counter party to the swap agreement; however, nonperformance is not anticipated.

 

The fair value of the Swap Agreements is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the credit worthiness of the counter party.  At March 31, 2005, the fair value of the Swap Agreements, (excluding the additional swap agreements entered into after March 31, 2005) net of related taxes, was an unrealized gain of $1,442.  This amount has been included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

We anticipate that available funds from current operations, existing cash and other sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet current operating requirements and anticipated capital expenditures.  However, we may require external sources of financing for any significant future acquisitions.  Further, the Revolving Credit portion of the 2005 Senior Secured Credit Facility matures January 10, 2010.  We expect the repayment of the Revolver will require external financing.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43 Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 is applicable for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS 151 requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight and rehandling be recognized as current-period charges rather than being included in inventory regardless of whether the costs meet the criterion of abnormal as defined in ARB 43. The Company is currently completing its evaluation of the adoption of SFAS 151 and the impact, if any, that this statement will have on its results of operations.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and amends SFAS No. 95 “Statement of Cash Flows.” SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.  SFAS 123R is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, or for the Company, January 1, 2006.  In March 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payments” (“SAB 107”).  SAB 107 expresses views of the SEC regarding the interaction between SFAS and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the SEC’s views regarding the valuation of share-based compensation for public companies. The Company is currently completing its evaluation of the adoption of SFAS 123R and the impact that this statement will have on its results of operations.  The Company will apply the principles of SAB 107 in conjunction with its adoption of SFAS 123R.

 

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47”), “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN 47 clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Assets Retirements Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Furthermore, the uncertainty about the timing and or method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FIN 47 clarifies that an entity is required to recognize the liability for the fair value of a conditional asset when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Company is studying FIN 47 and has not determined what effect, if any, FIN 47 will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company will implement FIN 47 effective January 1, 2006.

As required by its prior Secured Credit Facility, the Company had entered into standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) interest rate swap agreements (the “Swap Agreements”) to manage the interest rate risk associated with its credit facility.  The Company has retained those agreements to manage the interest rate risk associated with its new credit facility.  In addition, on May 2, 2005, the Company entered into additional swaps to manage the increased interest rate risk associated with its increased borrowing.  The Company has designated its interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

 

On June 24, 2003, the Company entered into a swap agreement that has a notional amount of $20,000 and a maturity date in June 2008.  This swap agreement has a fixed notional amount throughout its term and a fixed rate of 2.69%.

 

Also on June 24, 2003, the Company entered into a swap agreement that had an original notional amount of $20,000 and a maturity date in June 2008.  This swap agreement contains an amortization provision and a fixed rate of 2.34%.  The notional amount of this agreement at March 31, 2005 was $15,005.

 

On February 13, 2004, the Company entered into a swap agreement that has a notional amount of $21,600 and a maturity date in February 2007.  The interest rate swap agreement has a fixed notional amount throughout its term and a fixed rate of 2.58%.

 

On March 8, 2004 the Company entered into a swap agreement that had an original notional amount of $4,000 and a maturity date in December 2008.  This swap agreement contains an amortization provision and a fixed rate of 3.09%.  The notional amount of this agreement at March 31, 2005 was $3,840.

On May 2, 2005, the Company entered into a swap agreement that has a notional amount of $72,000 and a maturity date of December 31, 2009.  This swap agreement contains an amortization provision and a fixed rate of 4.15%.

 

On May 2, 2005, the Company entered into a swap agreement that has a notional amount of $15,000 and a maturity date of December 31, 2011.  The interest rate swap agreement has a fixed notional amount throughout its term and a fixed rate of 4.45%.

 

On May 2, 2005, the Company entered into a swap agreement that has a notional amount of $17,000.  The swap has a start date of March 31, 2007 and a maturity date of December 31, 2011.  The interest rate swap agreement has a fixed notional amount throughout its term and a fixed rate of 4.69%.

 

On May 2, 2005, the Company entered into a swap agreement that has a notional amount of $12,000.  The swap has a start date of June 30, 2008 and a maturity date of September 30, 2009.  The interest rate swap agreement has a fixed notional amount throughout its term and a fixed rate of 4.66%.

 

On May 2, 2005, the Company entered into a swap agreement that has a notional amount of $10,000.  The swap has a start date of June 30, 2008 and a maturity date of December 31, 2011.  The interest rate swap agreement has a fixed notional amount throughout its term and a fixed rate of 4.77%.

 

In accordance with the Swap Agreements and on a quarterly basis, interest expense is calculated based on the floating 90-day LIBOR and the fixed rate.  If interest expense as calculated is greater based on the 90-day LIBOR, the financial institution pays the difference to the Company; if interest expense as calculated is greater based on the fixed rate, the Company pays the difference to the financial institution.  Depending on fluctuations in the LIBOR, the Company’s interest rate exposure and its related impact on interest expense and net cash flow may increase or decrease.  The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counter party to the swap agreement; however, nonperformance is not anticipated.

 

The fair value of the Swap Agreements is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the credit worthiness of the counter party.  At March 31, 2005, the fair value of the Swap Agreements, (excluding the swap agreements entered into after March 31, 2005) net of related taxes, was an unrealized gain of $1,442.  This amount has been included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

As of March 31, 2005, there was $78,000 outstanding under the term loan, $89,367 outstanding under the revolving line of credit, and $3,840 outstanding under the mortgage loan.  The unused balance under the revolving line of credit was $30,633 at March 31, 2005.  The average interest rate was approximately 5.0% at March 31, 2005.
