Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1.
Basis of Presentation
Beacon
Roofing Supply, Inc. (the "Company") prepared the consolidated financial
statements following accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (GAAP) for interim financial information and the requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As permitted under those rules,
certain footnotes or other financial information have been condensed or omitted.
The balance sheet as of June 30, 2009 has been presented for a better
understanding of the impact of seasonal fluctuations on the Company's financial
condition.
On
October 1, 2009, the Company merged all of its U.S. subsidiaries into Beacon
Sales Acquisition, Inc. After this merger, the Company’s remaining subsidiaries
are Beacon Sales Acquisition, Inc., Beacon Canada, Inc. and Beacon Roofing
Supply Canada Company. The Company continues to operate its regional businesses
under trade names associated with the former subsidiary names.
In
management's opinion, the financial statements include all normal and recurring
adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the
Company's financial position and operating results. The results for the
three-month period (third quarter) and the nine-month period (year-to-date)
ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the twelve months ending September 30, 2010.
The Company's fiscal year ends on the
last day in September of each year and each quarter ends on the last day of the
respective third calendar month. The nine-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and
June 30, 2009 both had 189 business days, while the three-month periods ended
June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 both had 64 business days. Certain reclassifications have been
made to the prior year information to conform to the current year
presentation.
You
should also read the financial statements and notes included in the Company's
fiscal year 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies used
in preparing these financial statements are the same as those described in that
Annual Report.
Adoption
of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March
2007, the FASB issued guidance that significantly changes the accounting for and
reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling (minority)
interests in consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for
the Company in fiscal year 2010. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the
expensing of certain costs incurred this year but did not have a significant
impact on the financial statements. However, this could have a material impact
on the accounting for the Company’s future acquisitions, depending on the
circumstances and the terms of the acquisitions.
In April
2009, the FASB issued disclosure guidance about fair value of financial
instruments in interim financial statements. This was effective for the Company
beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 but had no impact on the
financial statements.
In May
2009, the FASB issued guidance on subsequent events that establishes general
standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the
balance sheet date and requires the disclosure of the date through which an
entity has evaluated subsequent events and whether that represents the date the
financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. The Company has
evaluated all subsequent events under this guidance (see Note 10).
In
June 2009, the FASB implemented the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”). Effective for interim and annual financial periods ended after
September 15, 2010, the ASC has become the source of authoritative
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and supersedes all
existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered
non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC has become
non-authoritative. This new guidance affected the way in which the Company
references and reports accounting and reporting standards beginning with its
fiscal year 2009 Annual Report.
2.
Income per Share
The
Company calculates basic income per share by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per
share includes the dilutive effects of outstanding stock
awards.

3.
Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company accounts for employee and non-employee director stock-based compensation
using the fair value method of accounting. Compensation cost arising from stock
options granted to employees and non-employee directors is recognized as an
expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period, which represents
the requisite service period. The Company estimates forfeitures in calculating
the expense related to stock-based compensation.
As of
June 30, 2010, there was $6.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost
related to unvested stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The Company recorded stock-based
compensation expense of $1.2 million ($0.7 million net of tax) in each of
the third quarters and $3.8 million ($2.3 million net of tax) and
$3.6 million ($2.2 million net of tax) in the nine months ended June
30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The fair
values of the options were estimated on the dates of grants using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions:
Nine Months Ended June 30,
|

|

Expected
lives of the options granted are based primarily on history, while expected
volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s stock and
stocks of comparable public companies. Estimated forfeiture rates vary by grant
and ranged from 0%-10% as of June 30, 2010.

30, 2010, there were remaining options to purchase 940,346 shares of common
stock available for grants under the Company's 2004 Stock Plan. The
weighted-average grant date fair values of stock options granted during the nine
months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 were $7.60 and $6.35, respectively.
The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended June
30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 was $4.1 and $2.8 million, respectively. At June 30,
2010, the Company had $15.1 million of excess tax benefits available for
potential deferred tax write-offs related to option accounting.

Senior
Secured Credit Facilities
On
November 2, 2006, the Company entered into an amended and restated
seven-year $500 million U.S. senior secured credit facility and a
C$15 million senior secured Canadian credit facility with GE Antares
Capital ("GE Antares") and a syndicate of other lenders (combined, the "Credit
Facility"). The Credit Facility consists of a U.S. revolving credit facility of
$150 million, which includes a sub-facility of $20 million for letters
of credit, and an initial $350 million term loan (the "Term Loan"). The
Credit Facility also includes a C$15 million senior secured revolving
credit facility provided by GE Canada Finance Holding Company.
As of
June 30, 2010, there was less than $0.1 million of outstanding revolver
borrowings and $323.0 million of outstanding Term Loan maturing in November
2013. The Company is in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facility.
The current portion of long-term obligations at September 30, 2009 included a $7
million accelerated payment that was due under the Term Loan and made in
February 2010. Substantially all of the Company's assets, including the capital
stock and assets of wholly-owned subsidiaries secure obligations under the
Credit Facility.
Equipment
Financing Facility
As of
June 30, 2010, there was a total of $16.2 million outstanding under prior
equipment financing facilities, with fixed interest rates ranging from 4.1% to
7.4% and payments due through September 2014. The Company’s current facility
provides financing up to $5.5 million of purchased transportation and material
handling equipment through May 1, 2011 at an interest rate approximately 2%
above the 5-year term swap rate at the time of the advances. There were no
amounts outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2010.

Foreign Net Revenue
Foreign
(Canadian) net revenue totaled $74.2 and $61.5 million in the nine months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Financial
Derivatives
The
Company uses derivative financial instruments for hedging and non-trading
purposes to manage its exposure related to fluctuating cash flows from changes
in interest rates. Use of derivative financial instruments in hedging programs
subjects the Company to certain risks, such as market and credit risks. Market
risk represents the possibility that the value of the derivative instrument will
change. In a hedging relationship, the change in the value of the derivative is
offset to a great extent by the change in the value of the underlying hedged
item. Credit risk related to derivatives represents the possibility that the
counterparty will not fulfill the terms of the contract. The notional, or
contractual, amount of the Company's derivative financial instruments is used to
measure interest to be paid or received and does not represent the Company's
exposure due to credit risk. The Company's current derivative instruments are
with large financial counterparties rated highly by nationally recognized credit
rating agencies.
The
Company is using interest rate derivative instruments to manage the risk related
to fluctuating cash flows from interest rate changes by converting a portion of
its variable-rate borrowings into fixed-rate borrowings. As of June 30, 2010,
the following interest rate derivative instruments were outstanding: a) a
$100 million interest rate swap with interest payments at a fixed rate of
2.72%; b) a $50 million interest rate swap with interest payments at a
fixed rate of 3.12%; and c) a $50 million interest rate swap with interest
payments at a fixed rate of 3.11%. These interest rate swaps expire in April
2013.
Page
8
These
derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges, for which the Company
records the effective portions of changes in their fair value, net of taxes, in
other comprehensive income (Note 4). The effectiveness of the hedges is
periodically assessed by the Company during the lives of the hedges by 1)
comparing the current terms of the hedges with the related hedged debt to assure
they continue to coincide and 2) through an evaluation of the ability of the
counterparties to the hedges to honor their obligations under the hedges. Any
ineffective portion of the hedges is recognized in earnings, of which there has
been none to date and none is anticipated.
The
Company records any differences paid or received on its interest rate hedges as
adjustments to interest expense. Since inception, the Company has not
recognized any gains or losses on these hedges and there has been no effect on
income from hedge ineffectiveness. The table below presents the combined
fair value of the interest rate swap and collar instruments:

The fair
values of the interest rate swaps were determined through the use of pricing
models, which utilize verifiable inputs such as market interest rates that are
observable at commonly quoted intervals (generally referred to as the “LIBOR
Curve”) for the full terms of the swap agreements.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months
or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents also
include unsettled credit card transactions. As of June 30, 2010, the cash
equivalents were mostly comprised of money market funds, which invest primarily
in commercial paper or bonds with a rating of A-1 or better, and bank
certificates of deposit. The carrying values of the cash equivalents for the
periods presented equaled the fair values, which were determined under Level 1
of the Fair Value Hierarchy.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
October 2009, the FASB issued guidance that amends the criteria for allocating a
contract's consideration to individual services or products in multiple
deliverable arrangements. This guidance is effective prospectively for revenue
arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or
after June 15, 2010. The Company will adopt this guidance beginning on
October 1, 2010 and does not expect an impact on the financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued guidance that changes the way entities account for
securitizations and special purpose entities. This new guidance is effective for
annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company will
adopt this guidance beginning on October 1, 2010 and does not expect an
impact on the financial statements.

Subsequent Events
On July
16, 2010, the Company purchased the stock of Posi-Slope Enterprises, Inc. and
its sister company Posi-Pentes (together “Posi-Slope”), which specialize in the
design and fabrication of tapered roof insulation systems. Posi-Slope has two
locations, in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and services customers
throughout Canada.

three months (third quarter) and nine months (year-to-date) ended June 30, 2010,
respectively, of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, and all
references to “2009” and “YTD 2009” refer to the three months (third quarter)

Overview
We are
one of the largest distributors of residential and non-residential roofing
materials in the United States and Canada. We also distribute other
complementary building products, including siding, windows, specialty lumber
products and waterproofing systems for residential and non-residential building
exteriors. We purchase products from a large number of manufacturers and then
distribute these goods to a customer base consisting of contractors and, to a
lesser extent, general contractors, retailers and building materials
suppliers.
We
distribute up to 10,000 SKUs through 179 branches in the United States and
Canada. We had 2,204 employees as of June 30, 2010, including our sales and
marketing team of 929 employees.
In fiscal
year 2009, approximately 94% of our net sales were in the United States. We
stock one of the most extensive assortments of high-quality branded products in
the industry, enabling us to deliver products to our customers on a timely
basis.
Execution
of the operating plan at each of our branches drives our financial results.
Revenues are impacted by the relative strength of the residential and
non-residential roofing markets we serve. We allow each of our branches to
develop its own marketing plan and mix of products based upon its local market.
We differentiate ourselves from the competition by providing customer services,
including job site delivery, tapered insulation layouts and design and metal
fabrication, and by providing credit. We consider customer relations and our
employees' knowledge of roofing and exterior building materials to be very
important to our ability to increase customer loyalty and maintain customer
satisfaction. We invest significant resources in training our employees in sales
techniques, management skills and product knowledge. Although we consider these
attributes important drivers of our business, we continually pay close attention
to controlling operating costs.
Our
growth strategy includes both internal growth (opening branches, growing sales
with existing customers, adding new customers and introducing new products) and
acquisition growth. Our main acquisition strategy is to target market leaders in
geographic areas that we do not service. Our April 2007 acquisition of North
Coast Commercial Roofing Systems, Inc. ("North Coast") is one example of
this approach. North Coast is a distributor of commercial roofing systems and
related accessories that operated 16 branches in eight states in the Midwest and
Northeast at the time of the acquisition. North Coast had minimal branch overlap
with our existing operations. In addition, we also acquire smaller companies to
supplement branch openings within existing markets. Our December 2009
acquisition of Lookout Supply Company (“Lookout”), which operated one branch and
was integrated into our Mid-Atlantic region, is one example of such an
acquisition.

In
managing our business, we consider all growth, including the opening of new
branches, to be internal (organic) growth unless it results from an acquisition.
When we have referred to growth in existing markets or internal growth in our
prior filings, we included growth from existing and newly opened branches but
excluded growth from acquired branches until they have been under our ownership
for at least four full fiscal quarters at the start of the fiscal reporting
period. At June 30, 2010, we had a total of 177 branches in
operation. For 2010 and YTD 2010, 170 branches were included in our
existing market calculations and 7 branches were excluded because they were
acquired during YTD 2010. Acquired markets for 2010 and YTD 2010 include
Lookout, IBM, Phoenix, and LRS (Note 5).

Net
Sales
Consolidated
net sales increased $10.7 million, or 2.3%, to $474.3 million in 2010
from $463.6 million in 2009. Existing market sales decreased
$0.5 million or 0.1%, while acquired markets contributed
$11.2 million. We attribute the slight existing market sales decline
primarily to the following factors:
·
|
continued
general weakness in residential roofing activities in some
regions;
|
mostly
offset by:
·
|
growth
in non-residential roofing activity in most regions;
and
|
·
|
a
resurgence of growth in our complementary product sales in all
regions.
|
We
acquired five branches in this year’s third quarter, while we did not open or
close any branches in last year’s third quarter. We estimate that
inflation in our product costs had no material impact on product costs in this
quarter compared to last year’s third quarter; however average selling prices
were generally lower. We had 64 business days in both 2010 and
2009. Net sales by geographical region grew or (declined) as follows:
Northeast 18.2%; Mid-Atlantic 19.0%; Southeast (18.9%); Southwest (21.3%);
Midwest (3.2%); West (8.4%); and Canada 15.2%. These variations were primarily
caused by short-term factors such as local economic conditions, weather
conditions and storm activity.

agrees to our reported 2010 sales of $474.3 million. We believe the
existing market information is useful to investors because it helps explain
organic growth or decline.

Our
existing market gross profit decreased $5.4 million or 5.0% in 2010, while
our acquired market gross profit contributed $1.9 million. Our
overall and existing market gross margin decreased to 22.0% and 22.1%,
respectively, in 2010 from 23.3% in 2009. The margin rate decrease in
our existing markets resulted primarily from approximately equal negative
impacts from a more competitive market and a higher sales mix of non-residential
roofing products, which typically have lower gross margins. These negative
factors were partially offset by higher 2010 vendor incentive income, primarily
from short-term buying programs.
Direct
sales (products shipped by our vendors directly to our customers), which
typically have substantially lower gross margins than our warehouse sales,
represented 19.4% and 19.3% of our net sales in 2010 and 2009, respectively. The
slight increase in the percentage of direct sales was primarily attributable to
the higher mix of non-residential roofing product sales. There were no material
regional impacts from changes in the direct sales mix of our geographical
regions.

Our
existing market operating expenses decreased by $2.3 million or 3.2% in
2010 to $71.9 million from $74.2 million in 2009, while our acquired
markets incurred $2.2 million in expenses. The following factors were the
leading causes of our lower operating expenses in our existing
markets:
|
·
|
savings of $1.7 million in other
general & administrative expenses from a reduction in the provision
for bad debts of $1.4 million and certain cost saving actions;
and
|
|
·
|
reduced
depreciation and amortization expense of $0.9 million due primarily
to lower amortization of intangible
assets;
|
partially
offset by
|
·
|
increased selling expenses of
$0.5 million principally from higher fuel
costs.
|
In
2010, we expensed a total of $2.4 million for the amortization of
intangible assets recorded under purchase accounting compared to
$3.0 million in 2009. Our existing market operating expenses
as a percentage of net sales decreased to 15.5% in 2010 from 16.0% in 2009 due
to the reductions outlined above.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense decreased $2.0 million to $3.6 million in 2010 from
$5.6 million in 2009. This decrease was primarily due to lower debt and the
expiration of certain interest derivatives (see Item 3) that carried higher
interest rates than the rates on our current derivatives and variable interest
rate debt. Interest expense would have been $1.3 and $2.5 million less in
2010 and 2009, respectively, without the impact of our derivatives.
Income
Taxes
Income
tax expense was $10.3 million in 2010, an effective tax rate of 38.8%,
compared to $10.8 million in 2009, an effective tax rate of 38.7%. Both
periods benefited from certain discrete items. We currently expect our full
fiscal year 2010 effective income tax rate to be approximately 39.5%, excluding
any future discrete items.

|
·
|
a
decrease in re-roofing activity in the areas affected by Hurricane Ike in
YTD 2009; and
|
|
·
|
continued
general weakness in residential roofing activities in certain other

The
impact from inflation in our product costs on YTD 2010 sales was immaterial;
however average selling prices were slightly lower. We closed one branch and

Our
existing market gross profit decreased $46.4 million or 15.6% in YTD 2010,
while our acquired market gross profit contributed $2.0 million. Our overall and
existing market gross margin decreased to 22.5% and 22.6%, respectively, in YTD
2010 from 23.9% in YTD 2009. These declines in our gross margin were due
primarily to the same factors mentioned above for the third quarter. We expect
our future overall annual gross margin average to range from 22.5% to 24.0%,
dependant mostly on product mix.
Direct
sales represented 19.9% and 18.5% of our net sales in YTD 2010 and YTD 2009,
respectively. The increase in the percentage of direct sales was primarily
attributable to the higher mix of non-residential roofing product sales. There
were no material regional impacts from changes in the direct sales mix of our
geographical regions.

Our
existing market operating expenses decreased by $17.2 million or 7.6% in
YTD 2010 to $208.2 million from $225.4 million in YTD 2009, while our
acquired markets incurred $2.7 million in expenses. The following factors were
the leading causes of our lower operating expenses in our existing
markets;
|
·
|
savings of $7.4 million in
payroll and related costs, due to a lower employee headcount, lower
incentive-based pay, and lower related benefits (including a lower
profit-sharing accrual);
|
|
·
|
savings
of $5.9 million in other general & administrative expenses from a
reduction in the provision for bad debts of $4.0 million, reduced claim
costs in our self-insurance programs and certain cost saving
actions;
|
|
·
|
reduced
depreciation and amortization expense of $2.2 million due mostly to
lower amortization of intangible assets;
and
|
|
·
|
savings
of $1.1 million in various selling expenses, such as reduced credit card
fees due to the lower sales volume and certain cost saving actions,
partially offset by higher fuel
costs.
|
In
YTD 2010, we expensed a total of $7.4 million for the amortization of
intangible assets recorded under purchase accounting compared to
$9.2 million in YTD 2009. Our operating expenses as a percentage
of net sales increased to 18.7% in 2010 from 18.1% in YTD 2009 as we were unable
to reduce costs to the extent of the large drop in sales.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense decreased $2.6 million to $14.7 million in YTD 2010 from
$17.3 million in YTD 2009. This decrease was primarily due to the paydown
of debt and the expiration of certain interest derivatives that carried higher
interest rates than the rates on our current derivatives and variable-rate debt,
Interest expense would have been $7.7 and $5.3 million less in YTD 2010 and
2009, respectively, without the impact of our derivatives.

Income
Taxes
Income
tax expense was $10.4 million in YTD 2010, an effective tax rate of 37.1%,
compared to an income tax expense of $22.0 million in YTD 2009, an
effective tax rate of 39.8%. The income tax expense for YTD 2010 includes the
benefits from the reversals of approximately $0.8 million of discrete tax
reserves and a higher percentage of Canadian income in YTD 2010 than in YTD
2009. Without the benefit of the discrete items, our effective tax rate would
have been 39.5%.
Seasonality
and Quarterly Fluctuations
In
general, sales and net income are highest during our first, third and fourth
fiscal quarters, which represent the peak months of construction and reroofing,
especially in our branches in the northeastern U.S. and in Canada. Our sales are
substantially lower during the second quarter, when we historically have
incurred low net income levels or net losses.
We
generally experience an increase in inventory, accounts receivable and accounts
payable during the third and fourth quarters of the year as a result of the
seasonality of our business. Our peak borrowing level generally occurs during
the third quarter, primarily because accounts payable terms offered by our
suppliers typically have due dates in April, May and June, while our peak
accounts receivable collections typically occur from June through
November.
We
generally experience a slowing of collections of our accounts receivable during
our second quarter, mainly due to the inability of some of our customers to
conduct their businesses effectively in inclement weather in certain of our
regions. We continue to attempt to collect those receivables, which require
payment under our standard terms. We do not provide any concessions to our
customers during this quarter of the year. Due to the decline in customer demand
in the second quarter, vendors are more likely to provide seasonal incentives.
Also during the second quarter, we generally experience our lowest availability
under our senior secured credit facilities, which are asset-based lending
facilities.
Certain
Quarterly Financial Data
The
following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly data for fiscal year 2010
(ending September 30, 2010) and fiscal year 2009
which, in
the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of this
data. Results of any one or more quarters are not necessarily indicative of
results for an entire fiscal year or of continuing trends. Totals may not total

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
had cash and cash equivalents of $82.1 million at June 30, 2010 compared to
$83.0 million at June 30, 2009 and $82.7 million at September 30,
2009. Our net working capital was $361.0 million at June 30, 2010 compared
to $316.0 million at June 30, 2009 and $334.9 million at
September 30, 2009.
YTD
2010 Compared to YTD 2009
Our
net cash provided by operating activities was $26.5 million in YTD 2010
compared to $84.3 million in YTD 2009. The lower cash from operations was
partially due to the drop of $15.7 million in our net income. In addition,
inventory increased $24.6 million, as we continued to hold higher quantities of
asphalt shingles due to economical advantages of the short-term buying programs
offered by our vendors. Accounts receivable increased marginally by $1.6 million
in YTD 2010 and, due mostly to the higher sales mix of non-residential roofing
products that generally have longer payment terms, the number of days
outstanding for accounts receivable increased based upon YTD 2010 sales.
Inventory turns were down due mainly due to the special buying programs.
Furthermore, we saw a favorable decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of
$7.8 million and a favorable increase of $4.1 million in accounts payable and
accrued expenses (combined), primarily due to normal seasonal changes, higher
third quarter 2010 purchasing levels and much lower income tax payments in YTD
2010 than in YTD 2009.
Page
16
Net
cash used in investing activities was $18.0 million in YTD 2010 compared to
$10.7 million in YTD 2009. This increase was mainly due to the cost of our
acquisitions, partially offset by lower capital spending for transportation and
material handling equipment. We continue to closely manage our capital
expenditures during these challenging economic times and we expect full fiscal
year 2010 capital expenditures to total between 0.7% to 1.0% of net sales,
mostly dependant upon our sales volume and exclusive of the impact of branch
openings.
Net
cash used by financing activities was $9.0 million in YTD 2010 compared to
$16.6 million in YTD 2009. These amounts primarily reflected repayments
under our credit facilities, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of
stock options.
Capital
Resources
Our
principal source of liquidity at June 30, 2010 was our cash and cash equivalents
of $82.1 million and our available borrowings of $159.5 million under revolving
lines of credit, subject to compliance with the maximum consolidated leverage
ratio below. Our borrowing base availability is determined primarily by trade
accounts receivable, less outstanding borrowings and letters of credit.
Borrowings outstanding under the revolving lines of credit in the accompanying
balance sheets have been classified as short-term debt since there were no
current expectations of a minimum level of outstanding revolver borrowings in
the following twelve months.
Liquidity
is defined as the current amount of readily available cash and the ability to
generate adequate amounts of cash to meet the current needs for cash. We assess
our liquidity in terms of our cash and cash equivalents on hand and the ability
to generate cash to fund our operating activities, taking into consideration the
seasonal nature of our business.
Significant
factors which could affect future liquidity include the following:
|
·
|
the adequacy of available bank
lines of credit;
|
|
·
|
the ability to attract long-term
capital with satisfactory
terms;
|
|
·
|
cash flows generated from
operating activities;
|
|
·
|
acquisitions;
and
|
|
·
|
capital
expenditures.
|
Our
primary capital needs are for working capital obligations and other general
corporate purposes, including acquisitions and capital expenditures. Our primary
sources of working capital are cash from operations and cash equivalents
supplemented by bank borrowings. In the past, we have financed acquisitions
initially through increased bank borrowings, the issuance of common stock and
other borrowings. We then repay any such borrowings with cash flows from
operations. We have funded most of our past capital expenditures with cash on
hand or through increased bank borrowings, including equipment financing, and
then have reduced those obligations with cash flows from
operations.
We
believe we have adequate current liquidity and availability of capital to fund
our present operations, meet our commitments on our existing debt and fund
anticipated growth, including expansion in existing and targeted market areas.
We seek potential acquisitions from time to time and hold discussions with
certain acquisition candidates. If suitable acquisition opportunities or working
capital needs arise that would require additional financing, we believe that our
financial position and earnings history provide a sufficient base for obtaining
additional financing resources at reasonable rates and terms, as we have in the
past. We may also issue additional shares of common stock to raise funds, which
we did in December 2005, or we may issue preferred stock.
Indebtedness
We
currently have the following credit facilities:
|
•
|
a
senior secured credit facility in the
U.S.;
|
|
•
|
a Canadian senior secured credit
facility; and
|
|
•
|
an
equipment financing facility.

Senior
Secured Credit Facilities
On
November 2, 2006, we entered into an amended and restated seven-year
$500 million U.S. senior secured credit facility and a C$15 million
senior secured Canadian credit facility with GE Antares Capital ("GE Antares")
and a syndicate of other lenders (combined, the "Credit Facility"). The Credit
Facility provides for a cash receipts lock-box arrangement that gives us sole
control over the funds in lock-box accounts, unless excess availability is less
than $10 million or an event of default occurs, in which case the senior
secured lenders would have the right to take control over such funds and to
apply such funds to repayment of the senior debt.
The
Credit Facility consists of a U.S. revolving credit facility of
$150 million (the "US Revolver"), which includes a sub-facility of
$20 million for letters of credit, and provided an initial
$350 million term loan (the "Term Loan"). The Credit Facility also includes
a C$15 million senior secured revolving credit facility provided by GE
Canada Finance Holding Company (the "Canada Revolver"). There was a combined
$159.5 million available for revolver borrowings at June 30, 2010, subject
to compliance with the maximum consolidated leverage ratio below, with less than
$0.1 million outstanding under the US Revolver at an interest rate of
3.25%. Borrowings outstanding under the revolving lines of credit in the
accompanying balance sheets were classified as short-term debt since there were
no current expectations of a minimum level of outstanding revolver borrowings in
the following twelve months. There were $4.6, $5.1 and $5.1 million of
outstanding standby letters of credit at June 30, 2010, June 30, 2009 and
September 30, 2009, respectively. The Term Loan requires amortization of 1%
per year, payable in quarterly installments of approximately $0.8 million,
and the remainder is due in 2013. The Credit Facility may also be expanded by up
to an additional $200 million under certain conditions. There are mandatory
prepayments under the Credit Facility under certain conditions, including the
following cash flow condition:
Excess
Cash Flow
By
May 15 of each fiscal year, we must pay an amount equal to 50% of the
Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Facility) for the prior fiscal year,
not to exceed $7.0 million with respect to any fiscal year. Based on our
results for fiscal year 2009, a required payment of $7.0 million was made early
in February 2010. A payment of $7.0 million was made in April 2009 for fiscal
year 2008. The amounts payable under this provision are classified as short-term
debt.
Interest
Interest
on borrowings under the U.S. credit facility is payable at our election at
either of the following rates:
|
·
|
the base rate (that is the higher
of (a) the base rate for corporate loans quoted in The Wall Street Journal
or (b) the Federal Reserve overnight rate plus 1/2 of 1%) plus a margin of
0.75% for the Term Loan, or
|
|
·
|
the current LIBOR Rate plus a
margin of 1.00% (for U.S. Revolver loans) or 2.00% (for Term
Loan).
|
Interest
under the Canadian credit facility is payable at our election at either of the
following rates:
|
·
|
an index rate (that is the higher
of (1) the Canadian prime rate as quoted in The Globe and Mail and
(2) the 30-day BA Rate plus 0.75%),
or
|
|
·
|
the BA rate as described in the
Canadian facility plus
1.00%.
|
The
US Revolver currently carries an interest rate at the base rate (3.25% at June
30, 2010), while the Canada revolver carries an interest rate of the Canadian
prime rate plus 0.75% (3.00% at June 30, 2010), and the Term Loan carries an
interest rate of LIBOR plus 2% (approximately 2.3% at June 30, 2010). Unused
fees on the revolving credit facilities are 0.25% per annum. Availability under
the revolving credit facilities is limited to 85% of eligible accounts
receivable, increasing to 90% from January through April of each
year.
Financial
covenants, which apply only to the Term Loan, are limited to a leverage ratio
and a yearly capital expenditure limitation as follows:
Maximum
Consolidated Leverage Ratio
On
the last day of each fiscal quarter, our Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as
defined, must not be greater than 4.00:1.0. At June 30, 2010, this ratio was
2.33:1.
Capital
Expenditures
We
cannot incur aggregate Capital Expenditures, as defined, in excess of three
percent (3.00%) of consolidated gross revenue for any fiscal
year.
Page
18
As
of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with these covenants.
Substantially
all of our assets, including the capital stock and assets of wholly-owned
subsidiaries secure obligations under the Credit Facility.
Equipment
Financing Facility
As
of June 30, 2010, there was $16.2 million outstanding under prior equipment
financing facilities, with fixed interest rates ranging from 4.1% to 7.4% and
payments due through September 2014. The Company’s current facility provides for
financing up to $5.5 million of purchased transportation and material handling
equipment through May 1, 2011 at an interest rate approximately 2% above the
5-year term swap rate at the time of the advances. There were no amounts
outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2010.
Cautionary
Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995
Our
disclosure and analysis in this report contains forward-looking information that
involves risks and uncertainties. Our forward-looking statements express our
current expectations or forecasts of possible future results or events,
including projections of future performance, statements of management's plans
and objectives, future contracts, and forecasts of trends and other matters. You
can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to
historic or current facts and often use words such as "anticipate," "estimate,"
"expect," "believe," "will likely result," "outlook," "project" and other words
and expressions of similar meaning. No assurance can be given that the results
in any forward-looking statements will be achieved and actual results could be
affected by one or more factors, which could cause them to differ materially.
For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act.
Certain
factors that may affect our business and could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements include those
set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2009.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk
Interest
Rate Risk
Our
interest rate risk relates primarily to the variable-rate borrowings under our
Credit Facility. The following discussion of our interest rate swaps and collars
(see "Financial Derivatives" below) is based on a 10% change in interest rates.
These changes are hypothetical scenarios used to calibrate potential risk and do
not represent our view of future market changes. As the hypothetical figures
discussed below indicate, changes in fair value based on the assumed change in
rates generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in
assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. The effect of a
variation in a particular assumption is calculated without changing any other
assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another,
which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities.
At
June 30, 2010, we had $323.0 million of term loans outstanding under our
Credit Facility, less than $0.1 million of borrowings under revolving lines
of credit, and $16.2 million of equipment financing outstanding. Our
weighted-average effective interest rate on that debt, after considering the
effect of the interest rate swaps, was 4.03% at June 30, 2010 (6.17% at June 30,
2009). At June 30, 2010, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest
rates in effect at that date would have increased annual interest expense by
only $0.3 million, since the majority of the interest expense was fixed by
the financial derivatives.
We
enter into interest rate swaps and collars to minimize the risks and costs
associated with financing activities, as well as to maintain an appropriate mix
of fixed-and floating-rate debt. The swap agreements discussed below are
contracts to exchange variable-rate for fixed-interest rate payments over the
life of the agreements. The collar agreements, also discussed below, provide for
fixed-rate caps and floors. The aggregate fair value of these swaps and collars
represented an unrealized loss of $9.3 million at June 30, 2010. A
hypothetical increase (or decrease) of 10% in interest rates from the level in
effect at June 30, 2010, would result in an aggregate unrealized gain or (loss)
in value of the swaps and collars of approximately $0.6 million or
($0.6) million, respectively.
Financial
Derivatives
As
discussed above, we use interest rate derivative instruments to manage our
exposure related to fluctuating cash flows from changes in interest rates by
converting a portion of our variable-rate borrowings into fixed-rate borrowings.
As of June 30, 2010, we had the following interest rate derivative instruments
outstanding: a) a $100 million interest rate swap with interest
payments at a fixed rate of 2.72%; b) a $50 interest rate swap with
interest payments at a fixed rate of 3.12%; and c) a $50 million interest
rate swap with interest payments at a fixed rate of 3.11%. These
interest rate swaps expire in April 2013. In April 2010, the following interest
rate derivative instruments expired: a) interest rate swaps totaling
$200 million with a fixed rate of 4.97%; b) a $50 million
interest rate collar with a floor rate of 3.99% and a cap rate of 5.75%; and
c) a $50 million interest rate collar with a floor rate of 3.75% and a
cap rate of 6.00%; At no time during the terms of the current derivatives did
the associated cash flows overlap with those associated with the derivatives
which expired in April 2010.

Foreign
Exchange Risk
There
have been no material changes from what we reported in our Form 10-K for
the year ended September 30, 2010.
Item 4. Controls
and Procedures
The
term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"). The rules refer to
the controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified. As of June
30, 2010, management, including the CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on that evaluation, management, including the CEO and CFO,
concluded that as of June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at ensuring that material information related to us or our
consolidated subsidiaries is made known to them and is disclosed on a timely
basis in our reports filed under the Act. We maintain a system of internal
control over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. Based on the most recent
evaluation, we have concluded that no significant change in our internal control
over financial reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
