TREDEGAR INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Tredegar Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("Tredegar") contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, Tredegar's consolidated financial position as of March 31, 1994, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 1993 Annual Report. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 2. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. 3. The components of inventories are as follows: (In Thousands) March 31 December 31 1994 1993 Finished goods $ 5,265 $ 5,735 Work-in-process 3,744 5,298 Raw materials 14,136 15,497 Stores, supplies and other 7,959 7,681 Total $ 31,104 $ 34,211 4. Unusual items in 1994 include the write-off of goodwill and other intangibles in APPX Software, Inc. ($7.6 million after income taxes or 70 cents per share). The write-off is the result of management's determination that income generated by the acquired products, which historically had been marketed to small and medium-sized companies, will not be sufficient to recover the unamortized costs associated with the intangible software assets purchased by Tredegar in December 1992. The goodwill and other intangibles in APPX Software were being amortized over 5 to 7 years at an annual rate of approximately $1.5 million after income taxes, or 14 cents per share. Unusual items in 1993 include a gain on the sale of Emisphere Technologies, Inc. common stock ($1 million after income taxes or 9 cents per share). 5. In February 1994, Tredegar sold its remaining oil and gas properties. Tredegar is currently pursuing the sale of The Elk Horn Coal Corporation ("Elk Horn"), its coal subsidiary. Therefore, Tredegar is reporting its Energy segment as discontinued operations. Discontinued operations in 1994 include a gain of $6.1 million ($3.9 million after income taxes or 36 cents per share) related to the sale of Tredegar's remaining oil and gas properties, and a deferred tax benefit of $3.3 million (31 cents per share) recognized on the difference between the financial reporting and income tax basis of Elk Horn in connection with its anticipated sale. Income from discontinued operations in 1993 includes a gain of $414,000 ($275,000 after income taxes or 3 cents per share) related to the sale of certain oil and gas properties. 6. In the first quarter of 1994, Tredegar granted stock options to purchase 381,000 shares of Tredegar common stock at prices not less than the fair market value on the date of grant ($15.125) and for a term not to exceed 10 years. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations First Quarter 1994 Compared with First Quarter 1993 Tredegar's net income for the first quarter of 1994 decreased 3% to $3.6 million, or 33 cents per share, from $3.7 million, or 34 cents per share, in 1993. Results for 1994 include a net after-tax charge of $384,000, or 3 cents per share, related to special items. Results for 1993 include a net after-tax gain of $1.4 million, or 13 cents per share, related to special items. Tredegar's net income for the first quarter of 1994 excluding special items increased 71% to $4 million, or 36 cents per share, from $2.3 million, or 21 cents per share, in 1993. The net charge of $384,000 for special items in 1994 includes: (i) a $3.9 million after-tax gain (36 cents per share) on the sale of Tredegar's remaining oil and gas properties, (ii) a $3.3 million deferred tax benefit (31 cents per share) recognized on the difference between the financial reporting and income tax basis of The Elk Horn Coal Corporation ("Elk Horn") (Tredegar's coal subsidiary) in connection with its anticipated sale, and (iii) a $7.6 million after-tax charge (70 cents per share) related to the write-off of goodwill and other intangibles in APPX Software, Inc. If Elk Horn is not sold, the $3.3 million deferred tax benefit will be reversed and charged to net income. The write-off in APPX Software is the result of management's determination that income generated by the acquired products, which historically had been marketed to small and medium-sized companies, will not be sufficient to recover the unamortized costs associated with the intangible software assets purchased by Tredegar in December 1992. APPX Software is actively engaged in efforts to enhance current products and develop next-generation products aimed at medium and large-sized companies. The goodwill and other intangibles in APPX Software were being amortized over 5 to 7 years at an annual rate of approximately $1.5 million after income taxes, or 14 cents per share. The net gain of $1.4 million for special items in 1993 includes: (i) a $1 million after-tax gain (9 cents per share) on the sale of Emisphere Technologies, Inc. common stock, (ii) a $275,000 after-tax gain (3 cents per share) on the sale of oil and gas properties, and (iii) a $150,000 net gain (1 cent per share) related to the adoption of new accounting standards for postretirement health benefits and deferred income taxes. In February 1994, Tredegar sold its remaining oil and gas properties. Tredegar is currently pursuing the sale of Elk Horn. First-quarter results from Tredegar's Energy segment are reported as discontinued operations. First-quarter net income from continuing operations (excluding Energy results and special items) was $2.5 million, or 23 cents per share, in 1994, up from $760,000, or 7 cents per share, in 1993. Results from continuing operations are not indicative of future performance because they exclude income that would be generated from the reinvestment of divestiture proceeds. First-quarter net sales from continuing operations increased 9% compared with 1993 due primarily to higher volume in Aluminum Extrusions. Plastics sales also increased due to higher volume in Film Products and the inclusion of Polestar Plastics, Inc. ("Polestar") in 1994. Tredegar acquired the assets of Polestar in the third quarter of 1993. The gross profit margin from continuing operations increased to 15.5% in 1994 from 15.4% in 1993. The improvement in gross profit margin was due to higher volume and lower raw material costs in Film Products and Aluminum Extrusions. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased 9% due primarily to restructuring and cost-reduction efforts. Research and development expenses decreased 5% due to lower spending in Film Products and Molecumetics, partially offset by higher software development costs at APPX Software. Interest expense for continuing operations decreased 11% as a result of lower average debt levels and interest rates. Interest expense of $136,000 and $173,000 in the first quarter of 1994 and 1993, respectively, was allocated to discontinued operations based on relative capital employed. The average interest rate on debt outstanding during the first quarter was 5.5% and 5.9% in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The effective tax rate for continuing operations, excluding special items, increased to 39.3% in the first quarter of 1994 from 38.4% in the first quarter of 1993 due to a 1% higher federal income tax rate. Segment Results The following tables present Tredegar's net sales and operating profit by industry segment for the quarters ended March 31, 1994 and 1993. Net Sales by Industry Segment (In thousands) (Unaudited) Three Months Ended March 31 1994 1993 Plastics $ 68,838 $ 65,942 Metal Products 51,777 44,674 Other 379 582 Total continuing operations 120,994 111,198 Discontinued operations 7,711 7,998 Total net sales $ 128,705 $ 119,196 Operating Profit by Industry Segment (In thousands) (Unaudited) Three Months Ended March 31 1994 1993 Plastics $ 8,995 $ 5,392 Metal Products 1,664 1,442 Other (a): Ongoing operations (2,377) (2,135) Unusual items (b) (9,521) 1,527 Total Other (11,898) (608) Total continuing operations (1,239) 6,226 Discontinued operations (c) 8,417 2,932 Total operating profit $ 7,178 $ 9,158 Notes: (a) Amounts previously reported for 1993 have been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation. (b) Unusual items in 1994 include the write-off of goodwill and other intangibles in APPX Software, Inc. ($7.6 million after income taxes or 70 cents per share). Unusual items in 1993 include a gain on the sale of Emisphere Technologies, Inc. common stock ($1 million after income taxes or 9 cents per share). (c) Discontinued operations include gains of $6.1 million ($3.9 million after income taxes or 36 cents per share) and $414,000 ($275,000 after income taxes or 3 cents per share) in 1994 and 1993, respectively, related to the sale of oil and gas properties. Tredegar Film Products sales for the quarter improved over the prior year due to higher volume. Operating profit also improved due to lower raw material costs and restructuring and cost reduction efforts, partially offset by lower average prices. Tredegar Molded Products sales improved for the quarter due to the inclusion of Polestar. Operating results were unfavorable compared with 1993 due to lower volume and margins in packaging and industrial segments, partially offset by favorable results from Polestar. Metal Products sales increased for the quarter due to higher Aluminum Extrusions volume. Volume improved as a result of sales efforts with new and existing customers and improved economic conditions in the housing, commercial construction and automotive markets. Operating profit increased due to higher volume and lower metal costs, partially offset by higher conversion costs. Tredegar's Other segment generated an operating loss of $2.4 million in the first quarter of 1994. This figure excludes the pretax charge of $9.5 million related to the write-off of goodwill and other intangibles in APPX Software. In the first quarter of 1993, these activities generated an operating loss of $2.1 million, excluding the pretax gain of $1.5 million on the sale of Emisphere common stock. Revenue for discontinued operations declined due to the sale of Tredegar's remaining oil and gas properties on February 4, 1994. Coal revenues and operating profit increased due to higher volume and prices. Operating profit from discontinued operations for 1994 and 1993 includes pretax gains of $6.1 million and $414,000, respectively, related to the sale of oil and gas properties. Liquidity and Capital Resources Tredegar's total assets at March 31, 1994, were $342.4 million, a decrease of $11 million from December 31, 1993. The decrease is primarily attributable to the write-off of goodwill and other intangibles in APPX Software, the sale of the remaining oil and gas properties and the reduction of working capital supporting the coal trading operation. In addition, depreciation for continuing operations exceeded capital expenditures by approximately $2 million. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2 to 1 at March 31, 1994. The increase in current liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses supporting higher sales volume. Income taxes payable also increased due to the timing of estimated tax payments. As of March 31, 1994, long-term debt was $78 million, a decrease of $19 million since December 31, 1993. In the first quarter of 1994, cash used to repay debt was generated from operations and the sale of Tredegar's remaining oil and gas properties. Cash provided by continuing operations in the first quarter of 1994 exceeded related capital expenditures and dividends by $6.6 million. Debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 31% at March 31, 1994, compared with 36% at December 31, 1993. The average interest rate on debt was 5.9% at March 31, 1994, compared with 5.3% at the end of 1993. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.
