NOTES TO
THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE
A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2010 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
April 30, 2010. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto incorporated by reference in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30,
2009.
NOTE
B--NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June
2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 105, “Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles,” (ASC 105). ASC 105 establishes the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles
recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the
preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP). References made to FASB guidance
throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.
In May
2009, the Company adopted the accounting principles established by FSP 157-2,
“Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS 157,” which is now part of ASC Topic
820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” (ASC 820). This
guidance delayed the effective date of ASC 820 for all nonrecurring fair value
measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities. Adoption of ASC 820 has had no impact upon the
Company’s results of operations or its financial position; however, the adoption
of ASC 820 resulted in expanded disclosure within the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 805, “Business
Combinations,” (ASC 805) and ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” (ASC
810). ASC 805 modifies certain aspects of how the acquiring entity
recognizes and measures the identifiable assets, the liabilities assumed and the
goodwill acquired in a business combination. ASC 810 established new
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. ASC 805 and
ASC 810 were each adopted by the Company on May 1, 2009. These
adoptions have had no impact upon the Company’s results of operations or
financial position.
In March
2008, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and
Hedging,” (ASC 815). ASC 815 is intended to improve financial
reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments and
hedging activities to enable investors to better understand how derivative
instruments are accounted for under ASC 815 and their effects on an entity’s
financial position, financial performance and cash flows. ASC 815 was
adopted by the Company on May 1, 2009. This adoption did not impact
the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In
December 2008, the FASB issued FSP 132R-1, “Employers’ Disclosure
about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets,” which is now part of ASC Topic 715,
“Compensation-Retirement Plans,” (ASC 715). This guidance is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December
15, 2009. ASC 715 requires companies to disclose how pension plan
asset investment allocations are made, the major categories of the plan assets,
the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan
assets and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. The
adoption of the transition guidance in ASC 715 is not expected to have a
significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial
position.
NOTE
C--COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The
Company’s comprehensive income (loss) was $(9.3) million and $(21.4) million for
the three months and nine months ended January 31, 2010, respectively, and $0.1
million and $(0.1) million for the three months and nine months ended January
31, 2009, respectively. Comprehensive income (loss) differs from net
income (loss) due to the changes in the pension and postretirement benefits
liability. See Note J “Pension Benefits” for more information
regarding the Company’s pension and post-retirement benefits
costs.

Potentially
dilutive securities have not been considered in the calculation of net loss per
share for the three months and nine months ended January 31, 2010 and for the
nine months ended January 31, 2009, as the effect would be
anti-dilutive.
NOTE
E--STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The
Company has various stock compensation plans. During the quarter
ended January 31, 2010, the Company did not grant any stock compensation awards
to employees or non-employee directors. During the nine months ended
January 31, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved grants of
non-statutory stock options and performance based restricted stock units to key
employees and approved service-based restricted stock units to key employees and
non-employee directors. The Company granted 120,000 employee non-statutory
stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $24.73 per option. The
options vest evenly over a three-year period and have ten-year contractual
terms. The employee performance-based restricted stock units totaled 128,325
units and the employee and non-employee directors service-based restricted stock
units totaled 64,425 units. The performance-based restricted stock
units entitle the recipients to receive one share of the Company’s common stock
per unit granted if certain performance conditions are met and the recipient
remains employed with the Company until the units vest on the third anniversary
of the grant date. The service-based units entitle the recipient to
receive one share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if they remain
employed with the Company until the units vest on the third anniversary of the
grant date.
Total
compensation expense related to stock-based awards during the three-month
periods ended January 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1.1 million and $1.3 million,
respectively, and for the nine-month periods ended January 31, 2010 and 2009 was
$3.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively. For the three-month
and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, stock-based compensation
expense was allocated as follows:

For the
nine-month periods ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, the impact recognized by the
Company related to the liquidation of LIFO based inventories was not
material. Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s
estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Since these items are
estimated, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory
valuation.
NOTE
H--PRODUCT WARRANTY
The
Company estimates outstanding warranty costs based on the historical
relationship between warranty claims and revenues. The warranty
accrual is reviewed monthly to verify that it properly reflects the remaining
obligation based on the anticipated expenditures over the balance of the
obligation period. Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim
experience differs from estimates. Warranty claims are generally made
within three months of the original shipment date.
The
following is a reconciliation of the Company’s warranty liability:

Employer
Contributions
Under the
requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the Company is not required
to make a mandatory contribution to its pension plans during fiscal
2010. Accordingly, no contributions were made to the plans during the
nine months ended January 31, 2010.
During
the nine months ended January 31, 2009, the Company terminated its retiree
medical benefits plan and recognized a $608,000 gain on settlement of the
plan. The gain was recorded as a reduction of general and
administrative expenses.
NOTE K –
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
In the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company announced a restructuring plan that
committed to the closing of two of the Company’s manufacturing plants, which are
located in Berryville, Virginia, and Moorefield, West Virginia, and suspending
operations in a third manufacturing plant located in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. These
actions were completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. This
initiative impacted approximately 600 employees. The continuing housing slump
led to the decision to reduce production capacity. These initiatives
were intended to increase the Company’s utilization rates and decrease overhead
costs within the Company’s manufacturing operations. In addition to
these initiatives, the Company made other staffing reductions during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company expects to incur total pre-tax exit costs of
$15.5 million related to this shut-down initiative and staffing reductions,
including severance and separation costs of $7.9 million, pension curtailments
of $0.1 million, and $7.4 million for equipment, inventory, and
facilities-related expenses. During fiscal 2009, the Company
recognized $9.7 million of these costs in restructuring charges. During the nine
months ended January 31, 2010, the Company recognized $2.1 million of severance
and separation costs and $0.6 million relating to equipment, inventory, and
facilities-related expenses in restructuring charges. Most of the
remaining estimated costs to be incurred relate to Management’s estimate of the
shortfall in fair value of the idled Tahlequah plant for which future
utilization plans have not yet been determined. The Company
recognized $0.9 million year-to-date in recurring operating costs for the closed
facilities that will continue until the plants are sold or placed back into
service.
A reserve
for restructuring charges in the amount of $186 thousand is included in the
Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2010, which relates to
employee termination costs.

The
Company has a total of four manufacturing plants that were idled or closed in
2008 and 2009. Three of these plants have been classified as held for
sale. The Company believes that the $2.3 million net book value of
these three plants is fully recoverable. These assets are included in
Other Assets on the Company’s balance sheet at January 31, 2010. The
Company has not yet determined how its idled manufacturing plant in Tahlequah,
Oklahoma will be utilized in the future. Accordingly, this asset was
classified as Property, Plant and Equipment on the Company’s balance sheet, and
continues to be depreciated at a rate of $120 thousand per quarter.
NOTE
L—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
Company utilizes the hierarchy of fair value measurement to classify its assets
based upon the following definitions:
Level 1 —
Investments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents are invested in money market funds
that are either insured by the US Treasury or invested in United States Treasury
instruments. The Company’s mutual fund investment assets represent contributions
made and invested on behalf of the Company’s named executive officers in a
supplementary employee retirement plan.
Level 2 —
Investments with observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not
active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable
market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The
Company has no level 2 assets or liabilities.
Level 3 —
Investments with unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or
liabilities. The Company has no level 3 assets or liabilities.
The
following table summarizes the fair values of assets that are recorded in the
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2010 at
fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

NOTE M
--DEBT
The
Company terminated its primary credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. and
entered into a $35 million secured revolving line of credit agreement with Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo) in December 2009. The
Company used the Wells Fargo credit line to pay off the $10 million term loan
with Bank of America.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Wells Fargo credit agreement, at January 31, 2010, $14.3
million of the Company’s cash and other specified investments served as security
for borrowing under this agreement and was classified as
restricted.
The Wells
Fargo credit agreement is secured by cash and other specified investments held
in certain of the Company’s accounts with Wells Fargo. The Company
can borrow up to $35 million under the new agreement; however, the
Company’s
10
aggregate
debt with Wells Fargo cannot exceed the collateral value of the Company’s cash
and specified investments held in the pledged accounts with Wells
Fargo. The Wells Fargo line of credit bears interest at the London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.25% and expires December 31,
2012. Under this agreement, the Company must maintain a prescribed
ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth not greater than 0.9 to 1.0 and
comply with other customary affirmative and negative covenants. The
Company’s ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth at January 31, 2010
was 0.5 to 1. The new credit agreement does not limit the Company’s
ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase its common stock as long as the
Company maintains the required ratio of total liabilities to tangible net
worth. As of January 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all
covenants specified within the Company’s credit agreements.
There was
no gain or loss realized in terminating the Company’s credit agreement with Bank
of America, N.A. or with entering into the new agreement with Wells
Fargo.
NOTE
N--OTHER INFORMATION
The
Company is involved in suits and claims in the normal course of business,
including product liability and general liability claims, in addition to claims
pending before the EEOC. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company
consults with its legal counsel to ascertain the reasonable likelihood that such
claims may result in a loss. As required by the provisions of ASC
Topic 450, “Contingencies,” the Company categorizes the various suits
and claims into three categories according to their likelihood for resulting in
potential loss; those that are probable (i.e., more likely than not), those that
are reasonably possible, and those that are deemed to be
remote. Where losses are deemed to be probable and estimable,
accruals are made. Where losses are deemed to be reasonably possible or remote,
a range of loss estimates is determined. Where no loss estimate range
can be made, the Company and its counsel perform a worst case estimate. In
determining these loss range estimates, the Company considers known values of
similar claims and consultation with independent counsel.
The
Company believes that the aggregate range of loss stemming from the various
suits and asserted and unasserted claims which were deemed to be either probable
or reasonably possible were not material as of January 31, 2010.
NOTE
O--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March
2, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a $.09 per share cash dividend on its
common stock. The cash dividend will be paid on March 29, 2010, to
shareholders of record on March 15, 2010.

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and
Results of Operations
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements, both of which are included in Part
I, Item 1 of this report. The Company’s critical accounting policies are
included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report, which was filed as an exhibit to
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30,
2009.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
report contains statements concerning the Company’s expectations, plans,
objectives, future financial performance, and other statements that are not
historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. In most cases, the reader can identify these forward-looking
statements by words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “expect,”
“believe,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “plan,” “may” or other similar
words. Forward-looking statements contained in this report, including
in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are based on current expectations and
our actual results may differ materially from those projected in any
forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company participates in
an industry that is subject to rapidly changing conditions and there are
numerous factors that could cause the Company to experience a decline in sales
and/or earnings or deterioration in financial condition. These
include (1) overall industry demand at reduced levels, (2) economic weakness in
a specific channel of distribution, (3) the loss of sales from specific
customers due to their loss of market share, bankruptcy or switching to a
competitor, (4) a sudden and significant rise in basic raw material costs, (5) a
dramatic increase to the cost of diesel fuel and/or transportation related
services, (6) the need to respond to price or product initiatives launched by a
competitor, (7) the Company’s ability to successfully implement initiatives
related to increasing market share, new products, maintaining and increasing its
sales force and new product displays, and (8) sales growth at a rate that
outpaces the Company’s ability to install new capacity. Additional
information concerning the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in forward-looking statements is contained in this report
and also in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
April 30, 2009, including Item 1A, "Risk Factors" and Item 7A, "Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," as well as the Company’s 2009 Annual
Report, including under the headings "Forward-Looking Statements," "Market
Risks," and "Outlook for Fiscal 2010" in Management's Discussion and
Analysis. While the Company believes that these risks are manageable
and will not adversely impact the long-term performance of the Company, these
risks could, under certain circumstances, have a materially adverse impact on
its operating results and financial condition.
Any
forward-looking statement that the Company makes, speaks only as of the date of
this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update
or revise any forward-looking statements or cautionary factors, as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by
law.
Overview
American
Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen cabinets and vanities
for the remodeling and new home construction markets. Its products are sold on a
national basis directly to home centers, major builders and home manufacturers,
and through a network of independent dealers and distributors. At January 31,
2010, the Company operated 11 manufacturing facilities and 9 service centers
across the country.
The
three-month period ending January 31, 2010 was the Company’s third quarter of
its fiscal year that ends on April 30, 2010 (fiscal 2010). During the third
quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company experienced a continuation of difficult
housing market conditions that had begun during the Company’s 2007 fiscal
year. In new home construction, housing starts reached
a 50-year low of only 550,000 during calendar 2009, a decline of
nearly 40% compared with calendar 2008. In the remodeling market, sales of
existing homes during calendar 2009 improved by 5% over the prior year’s low
levels, but the median home price of houses sold declined by over 12%. Although
existing home sales have begun to improve, the Company believes the combination
of weak consumer confidence and continuing job losses in the US economy
contributed to a decline of approximately 20% in large ticket remodeling
projects such as cabinetry during calendar year 2009.
Despite
the continuing difficult housing market, the Company believes the long-term
fundamentals for the American housing industry remain strong, based upon
continued population and new household growth, as well as the desire for home
ownership. Based upon this belief, the Company has continued its strategy of
investing to improve its operations and its capabilities to best service its
customers. The Company remains focused on continuing to gain market share and
has continued to invest in developing and launching new products, maintaining
customer contact, and increasing its new product displays and related marketing
collateral deployed with its customers.
During
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company announced its intention to
realign its manufacturing network by closing two of its oldest manufacturing
plants and suspending operations in a third. These initiatives were achieved
during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
12
The
Company’s gross margin rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was 6.6% of net
sales, well below the 15.5% generated in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Gross
profit was 10.3% of net sales during the first nine months of fiscal year 2010,
compared with 15.3% of net sales during the comparable period of the prior
fiscal year. The decline in gross profit margin during the three and nine-month
periods primarily reflected the unfavorable impact of inefficiencies in direct
labor and manufacturing overhead costs stemming from the impact of lower sales
volumes. Partly offsetting these adverse factors were favorable impacts from
lower fuel and material costs, as well as manufacturing overhead cost savings
related to the aforementioned plant closings.
The
Company regularly assesses its long-lived assets to determine if any impairment
has occurred. Although present housing market conditions and their resultant
impact upon the Company’s performance continue to be difficult, the Company
believes that the long-term fundamentals of growth in new households, job
creation, and favorable long-term interest rates will support a growing and
vibrant housing economy in the future. Accordingly, the Company does not believe
that its long-lived assets pertaining to its remaining 11 manufacturing plants
or any of its other long-lived assets were impaired as of January 31,
2010.
In
connection with its aforementioned manufacturing realignment, the Company has
listed for sale two of the three manufacturing plants that ceased production
during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The aggregate net book value of these
assets, along with assets pertaining to a plant which ceased operation in fiscal
year 2008, was $2.3 million at January 31, 2010. These assets are classified as
held for sale and included in the Company’s “Other Assets” in its January 31,
2010 balance sheet. The Company’s facility in which production
was suspended had a net book value of $5.2 million at January 31, 2010 and is
not for sale. If this facility were to become held for sale, it is
possible that an asset impairment charge could be recorded at that time if the
facility’s estimated fair value was determined to be less than its net book
value.
The
Company recorded restructuring charges (benefits) during the three and
nine-month periods ended January 31, 2010 in connection with its plant closure
activity, amounting to ($0.0 million) and $1.7 million,
respectively. Exclusive of these activities, the Company’s net loss
totaled $9.2 million and $19.1 million for the three and nine-month periods
ended January 31, 2010, respectively.

Net Sales. Net sales
were $89.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, a decline of 32%
compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2009. For the first nine months of
fiscal 2010, net sales were $294.1 million, reflecting a decline of 27% compared
with the same period of fiscal 2009. Overall unit volume for the three and
nine-month periods ended January 31, 2010 decreased by 30% and 25%,
respectively, driven by reduced market demand for the Company’s products.
Average revenue per unit decreased by 2% and 3% during the three-month and
nine-month periods ended January 31, 2010, respectively.
Gross Profit.
Gross profit margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was 6.6%, compared with
15.5% for the same period of fiscal 2009. Gross profit margin was 10.3% for the
first nine months of fiscal 2010, compared with 15.3% in the first nine months
of fiscal 2009. Labor and overhead costs increased as a percentage of net sales
by a combined 8.8% of sales in the third quarter and 6.1% of sales in the first
nine months of fiscal 2010 compared with the comparable prior year periods,
driven by the unfavorable impact of lower sales volumes upon labor productivity
and overhead absorption. These increases were partially offset by the
impact of reductions in freight and materials cost as a percentage of net sales
by a combined 0.1% of net sales and 1.1% of net sales in the third quarter and
first nine months of fiscal 2010, respectively, compared with comparable prior
year periods. The Company’s restructuring initiatives and lower sales
volume caused manufacturing overhead costs to be reduced by $4.6 million and
$15.0 million compared with the prior year’s third quarter and first nine
months, respectively.
Selling and Marketing Expenses.
Selling and marketing expenses for the third quarter of
fiscal 2010 were $14.2 million, or 15.9% of sales, compared with $14.8 million,
or 11.3% of sales, for the same period in fiscal 2009. For the first nine months
of fiscal 2010, selling and marketing costs were $42.0 million, or 14.3% of net
sales, compared with $45.5 million, or 11.2% of net sales, for the same period
of fiscal 2009. Selling and marketing expenses declined by 4% during the third
quarter of fiscal 2010, as volume-related reductions in compensation cost were
offset in part by increased promotional costs and increased business development
activities compared with the prior year. Sales and marketing costs increased in
relation to sales because the percentage decline in the Company’s sales exceeded
that of the Company’s net cost reduction.
General and Administrative Expenses.
General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of
fiscal 2010 were $6.4 million or 7.1% of sales, compared with $6.1million or
4.7% of sales for the same period in fiscal 2009. For the first nine
months of fiscal 2010, general and administrative costs were $19.0 million, or
6.5% of net sales, compared with $18.1 million, or 4.5% of net sales for the
same period of fiscal 2009. The increase in general and
administrative expenses during the fiscal year 2010 periods was driven by the
absence of a one-time credit realized during the prior year associated with
the settlement of a retiree healthcare program. As of January
31, 2010, the Company had aggregate receivables from customers with a higher
perceived level of risk of $0.9 million, of which $0.7 million had been reserved
for potential uncollectibility, compared to $2.6 million and $1.3 million,
respectively, at April 30, 2009.
13
Effective Income Tax Rates.
The Company’s effective income tax rate for both the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2010 was 37.5% of the
Company’s loss before income taxes, as compared with 106.9% and 66.0% in the
comparable periods of fiscal 2009, respectively. The effective tax rates
during fiscal 2009 were the result of the Company operating at virtually
break-even during the previous fiscal year, coupled with net favorable permanent
tax differences which resulted in a net tax benefit that exceeded the amount of
the pre-tax loss during the third quarter of fiscal 2009.
Outlook. The
Company expects the continuing negative impact of tight credit conditions, low
real estate prices, job losses and economic uncertainty will cause the
remodeling and new construction markets to remain subdued until these conditions
improve.
The
Company expects that its remodeling sales in the fourth quarter will decline at
a greater rate than that of the overall market because of a difficult comparison
to the prior year’s fourth quarter, a period in which the Company’s remodeling
sales outperformed the market due to extremely favorable results from previous
customer promotions that favored the Company’s products and price points. The
Company expects that its new construction sales will increase over prior year
levels during the fourth quarter.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
Company terminated its primary credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. during
the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and entered into a $35 million secured
revolving line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo. Pursuant to the terms of
the Wells Fargo credit agreement, at January 31, 2010, $14.3 million of the
Company’s cash served as security for borrowings under this agreement, and was
classified as restricted cash.
On
January 31, 2010, the Company’s total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
totaled $70.6 million, which represented a decrease of $12.2 million from April
30, 2009 and an increase of $1.2 million from October 31, 2009. At January 31,
2010, total short-term and long-term debt was $26.6 million, $0.7 million lower
than its balance at April 30, 2009. Long-term debt to capital was 12.3% and
11.5% at January 31, 2010 and April 30, 2009, respectively.
The
Company’s main source of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash
generated from operating activities.
Cash used
by operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was $0.8
million, compared with cash provided by operating activities of $26.0 million in
the comparable period of fiscal 2009. The $26.8 million reduction in
cash provided from operations during the first nine months of fiscal 2010
compared with fiscal 2009 was primarily attributable to the $20.5 million
increase in the Company’s net loss, as well as payments made earlier in the
fiscal year for severance, income taxes, and performance-based bonuses and an
increase in the Company’s income tax refund receivable, that was partly offset
by a reduction in working capital deployed.
The
Company’s primary investing activities are capital expenditures and investments
in promotional displays. Net cash used for investing activities in
the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was $7.3 million, or $3.9 million less than
in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The Company’s
investments in both capital expenditures and promotional displays were reduced
during fiscal 2010. Capital expenditures made in both nine-month
periods of fiscal 2009 and 2010 did not include any new plant construction
activities. The Company expects its total investments in capital
expenditures and promotional displays for fiscal 2010 will be approximately 25%
less than it invested in fiscal 2009.
During
the first nine months of fiscal 2010, net cash used for financing activities was
$18.4 million, compared with net cash used in the comparable period of fiscal
2009 of $7.1 million. The Company distributed cash to shareholders in the form
of $3.8 million in cash dividends in the first nine months of fiscal year 2010,
compared to an aggregate of $6.2 million in the form of stock repurchases and
cash dividends in the first nine months of fiscal
year 2009. Additionally, the Company used $14.3 million of
its cash to serve as security for its new credit facility during fiscal
2010.
The
Company had $93.2 million of remaining stock repurchases authorized by its Board
of Directors as of January 31, 2010. See Part II, Item 2 for a table summarizing
stock repurchases in the quarter ended January 31, 2010, and the approximate
dollar value of shares that may be repurchased under the program.
The
Company can borrow up to $35 million under the Wells Fargo credit facility;
however, the Company’s aggregate debt with Wells Fargo cannot exceed the
collateral value of the Company’s cash and specified investments held in pledged
accounts with Wells Fargo. At January 31, 2010, $10 million of loans
and $4.3 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the Wells Fargo
facility, and $14.3 million of cash was held as security. Under the
terms of the Wells Fargo credit facility, the Company must maintain a prescribed
ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth not greater than 0.9 to 1.0 and
comply with other customary affirmative and negative covenants. The
Company’s ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth at January 31, 2010
was 0.5 to 1.0. The credit agreement does not limit the Company’s
ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase its common stock as long as the
Company maintains the required ratio of total liabilities to tangible net
worth. As of January 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all
covenants specified within the Company’s credit agreements.
There was
no gain or loss realized in terminating the Company’s credit agreement with Bank
of America, N.A. or entering into the new agreement with Wells
Fargo.

Seasonal and Inflationary
Factors
The
Company’s business has historically been subject to seasonal influences, with
higher sales typically realized in the second and fourth fiscal
quarters.
The costs
of the Company’s products are subject to inflationary pressures and commodity
price fluctuations. The Company has generally been able over time to
recover the effects of inflation and commodity price fluctuations through sales
price increases.
Critical Accounting
Policies
The
Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. There have been no significant
changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as disclosed in the
Company’s 2009 Annual Report, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30,
2009.
