- 4 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 1. Financial Statements, Continued: Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (In Thousands) Basis of Presentation - ---------------------- The December 31, 1994 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the previously audited consolidated balance sheet of Kaman Corporation and subsidiaries. The balance of the condensed financial information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in this report. The statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Kaman Corporation's 1994 Annual Report. Cash Flow Items - --------------- Cash payments for interest were $2,201 and $1,424 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Cash payments for income taxes for the comparable periods were $934 and $1,555, respectively. - 5 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations - --------------------- Consolidated revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 were $210.0 million compared to $198.0 million for the same period of 1994. These results are attributable to increased sales in the Distribution segment. For the first quarter of 1995, Distribution segment revenues increased by almost 16% compared to the same period of 1994. These results are largely attributable to the Industrial Distribution business, which comprises slightly more than 75% of the Distribution segment. Industrial Distribution sales continue to benefit from growth in the domestic economy, although revenue increases are even stronger than the general rate of growth. Management believes that this increase is due, in part, to initiatives undertaken to address the needs of customers that desire to reduce their vendor base and expand "partnering" relationships with suppliers. Industrial Distribution's efforts include value added services in the advanced technology areas of electrical and electronic systems, materials handling and precision positioning systems. These measures, in combination with enhanced operating efficiencies attained during the past few years, have resulted in increased market share for the Industrial Distribution business. Music Distribution sales also increased during the first quarter of 1995. These results are attributable to increased domestic sales and continuing development of international markets for the company s products. Diversified Technologies segment revenues for the first quarter of 1995 were down 11% compared to the first quarter of 1994, reflecting the influence of conditions in defense markets and the commercial aircraft industry. Management continues to believe that U.S. defense planning and spending priorities are shifting toward more emphasis on advanced technology programs and that considerable pressure exists within the defense market for allocation of the overall defense budget. In light of this, military hardware programs continue to be more vulnerable to risk of program termination, contract cancellation, or lack of funding. The corporation has - 6 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (cont.) felt the effects of this risk, principally with respect to its SH-2 helicopter. Its contract with the U.S. Navy to retrofit SH-2Fs to the SH-2G configuration has been substantially completed and there is no current expectation that the Navy will have further requirements, since fleet size is now being reduced. There are presently two squadrons of SH-2 helicopters (i.e, sixteen helicopters) serving in the Naval reserves with no helicopters in active Naval service. The corporation expects to continue to provide logistics and spare parts support for the SH-2, but at lower levels than in the past. There is some potential for SH-2 sales to foreign military services and the corporation is actively pursuing those opportunities. During 1994, the Egyptian government signed a letter of agreement with the U.S. Navy for the acquisition of ten (10) SH-2G helicopters. The corporation is in the process of negotiating its contract with the U.S. Navy to perform the retrofit work, which is expected to have a value of about $100 million over a three (3) year period. During the first quarter of 1995, the corporation received a letter contract for $31 million to provide long lead materials and services in support of the sale. Management believes that it is well positioned to compete in a defense environment that emphasizes advanced technology smart weapons programs. The corporation has significant expertise in this area, having performed a multitude of government contracts for advanced technology programs over the years. These contracts have involved products and systems, as well as advanced technology services such as computer software development, intelligence analysis, and research and development. The corporation continues to be successful in maintaining revenues from this type of business, however, competition for these contracts is increasing. Additionally, the defense department began last year to clearly signal its intention to pursue procurement of state-of-the-art commercial products and use of performance based standards, wherever possible, rather than traditional military specifications ( mil spec ) standards. This appears to be an element of the government s plan to enhance efficiency in procurement and reduce defense expenditures in the longer term. - 7 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (cont.) The corporation s assessment of its mil spec type product lines, principally at Raymond Engineering, resulted in a decision to downsize that operation to focus on product areas that are expected to be the most successful and merge it into Kaman Aerospace to achieve enhanced operational efficiency. During the first quarter of 1995, the corporation took steps to implement the downsizing and complete the merger of these subsidiaries. The Diversified Technologies segment continues efforts to further develop commercial markets for its products. For some time now, the corporation has performed subcontract work on several commercial airframe manufacturing programs. This work continues although it has been affected by the slowdown in aircraft production rates in the domestic aircraft industry. The K-MAX (Registered Trademark) helicopter program is another important commercial initiative for the segment. The K-MAX (Registered Trademark) is a medium to heavy lift 'aerial truck' with operating characteristics that distinguish it from other helicopters for use in logging, fire fighting, reforestation, utility power line work, and other applications. The helicopter received Federal Aviation Administration Type Certification in August, 1994 and type approval by Transport Canada in November, 1994. The first five (5) helicopters were completed and deliveries to initial customers began in September, 1994 under a special lease program which provides the corporation the opportunity to maintain active involvement in the product's introduction to the marketplace. The next production lot will consist of six (6) helicopters, which will be available for sale during 1995 to customers in the United States and abroad. Deliveries to Canada and Switzerland are scheduled for the second quarter of 1995. Management has taken a conservative approach to introducing this new model of helicopter and expects that profitability and higher sales for this program will take some time to achieve. In keeping with this conservative strategy, management currently plans to maintain a production rate of one helicopter every other month throughout this year and into 1996. Total operating profits for the segments increased almost 30% for the first quarter of 1995 compared to the same period a year ago. Operating profits for the Diversified Technologies segment increased about 40% for the quarter compared to the first quarter of 1994. - 8 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (cont.) Approximately 68% (i.e., $1.8 million) of the increase is attributable to the gain on sale of real estate in the segment. The remainder is largely due to completion of the SH-2 retrofit contract with the Navy. Operating profits for the Distribution segment increased 13% for the first quarter of 1995 compared to the same period of 1994, due in large part to a healthy domestic economy and to some degree to the effects of the company s value added systems marketing strategy which has differentiated it from its competitors. Interest expense for the first quarter of 1995 increased 111% compared to the same period of 1994, due to increases in average borrowings and somewhat higher interest rates. The consolidated effective income tax rate for the first three months of 1995 was 39.7%. For the same period of 1994, the rate was 40.6%. Net earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were $5.6 million, compared to $4.2 million for the same period of 1994. After giving effect to preferred stock dividend requirements, earnings available to common shareholders were $4.6 million for the first quarter of 1995 compared to $3.3 million for the same period of 1994. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The corporation's cash flow from operations has generally been sufficient to finance a significant portion of its working capital and other capital requirements. During the first quarter of 1995, the corporation financed more of its requirements from bank borrowings, compared to the same period of 1994. For general borrowing purposes, the corporation has maintained revolving credit agreements involving several banks located in the United States, Canada, and Europe, with a maximum unsecured line of credit of $200 million. The agreements each have a term of five years and contain provisions permitting the term to be extended for additional one-year periods upon concurrence of the parties. The agreements also contain various covenants, including debt to capitalization and consolidated net worth requirements. The corporation borrowed $25 million under these agreements in early March, 1995 and there were no borrowings for the first quarter of 1994. - 9 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (cont.) The corporation also maintains other short-term credit arrangements with various banks. As of March 31, 1995, these borrowings were at $56.5 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, average bank borrowings against these short-term arrangements were $69.6 million compared to $31 million a year ago. The corporation maintains a stock repurchase program, under which it is authorized to repurchase a total of approximately 700,000 Class A shares. As of March 31, 1995, a total of 194 thousand Class A shares had been repurchased pursuant to the program. The primary purpose of the stock repurchase program is to meet the needs of the Employees Stock Purchase Plan and Stock Incentive Plan. Management believes that the corporation's cash flow from operations and available unused bank lines of credit under its revolving credit agreements will be sufficient to finance its working capital and other capital requirements for the foreseeable future. - 10 - PAGE KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 4.
