- 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 $3,866 and $1,876 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Cash payments for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were $1,743 and $6,270, 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 increased approximately 6% for both the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 compared with the same periods of 1994. These results are attributable to increased sales in the Distribution segment. Distribution segment revenues were up about 12% and 14% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, compared with the same periods of 1994. These increases are primarily due to the industrial distribution business, which comprises slightly more than 75% of the Distribution segment. Industrial Distribution sales have continued to benefit from the relatively healthy domestic economy, although economic growth slowed somewhat during the second quarter. Revenue increases have been stronger than the general rate of growth, however, 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 three month and six month periods of 1995, primarily due to increased domestic sales. Music experienced some softening in European and Asian markets during the second quarter. Diversified Technologies segment revenues were down about 2% for the three month period and down 6% for the six month period ended June 30, 1995, compared with the same periods of 1994. These results reflect the ongoing influence of conditions in defense markets and the commercial aircraft industry. The Diversified Technologies segment continues to adapt to the evolving U.S. defense market. The federal government's planning and spending priorities are shifting toward more emphasis on advanced technology programs. Management believes that it is well positioned to compete in this environment because it has significant expertise in the field of advanced technology programs, having performed a multitude of government contracts 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. - 6 - PAGE KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) There is also considerable pressure within the defense market for allocation of the overall defense budget. In this environment, military hardware programs have been more vulnerable to the risk of program termination. The corporation's program to retrofit its SH-2F helicopter to the SH-2G configuration illustrates this. Its contract with the U.S. Navy for retrofit work has now been completed and management has no current expectation that the Navy will have further requirements for the SH-2, as fleet size is now being reduced. The naval reserves continue to maintain two squadrons of this helicopter, however, there are no SH-2s in active service at this time. The corporation expects to continue to provide logistics and spare parts support, 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. For example, in late 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 a contract with the U.S. Navy to perform this retrofit work, which could have a value of up to $140 million over a three (3) year period. During the first quarter of 1995, the corporation received a letter contract valued at about $30 million to provide long lead materials and services in support of the sale. 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 has since received type approval in Canada and Switzerland. 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 were made during the second quarter of 1995. Management expects that the third production lot will also consist of six (6) helicopters, which will be available for sale in 1996. Management has deliberately taken a conservative approach to introducing this new model of helicopter and expects that sales and profitability will take some time to achieve. - 7 - PAGE KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Total operating profits for the segments increased 11% and 20% for the three months and six months of 1995 compared to the same periods a year ago. Operating profits for the Diversified Technologies segment were up 17% and 28% for the quarter and six months, respectively, from the same periods of 1994. Almost fifty percent of the Diversified Technologies segment increase is attributable to the gain on sale of real estate in the segment during the first quarter. Operating profits for the Distribution segment increased 3% and 7% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, compared with the same periods of 1994. These results are attributable to a healthy domestic economy and to some degree to the effects of the industrial distribution business' value added systems marketing strategy which has differentiated it from its competitors. Music distribution results were adversely affected by some softening in European and Asian markets during the second quarter and this impacted overall results for the segment. Interest expense for the first six months of 1995 increased 112% 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 six months of 1995 was 40.0%. For the same period of 1994, the rate was 39.3%. Net earnings were $4.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, compared to $4.6 million for the same period of 1994. After giving effect to preferred stock dividend requirements, earnings available to common shareholders were $3.7 million for the second quarter of 1995, level with the same period of 1994. Net earnings were $10.2 million for the first six months of 1995, compared to $8.8 million for the same period of 1994. After giving effect to preferred stock dividend requirements, earnings available to common shareholders were $8.4 million for the six month period of 1995, compared to $7.0 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 six months of 1995, the corporation financed somewhat 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. During the second quarter of 1995, the agreements were extended for a period of one additional year to July, 2000. - 8 - PAGE KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) The agreements also contain various covenants, including debt to capitalization and consolidated net worth requirements; these covenants could serve to limit total available borrowings. The corporation borrowed $25 million under these agreements in March, 1995, which borrowing was still outstanding at June 30, 1995. There were no borrowings for the first six months of 1994. The corporation also maintains other short-term credit arrangements with various banks. As of June 30, 1995, these borrowings were at $53.9 million. For the quarter ended June 30, 1995, average bank borrowings against these short-term arrangements were $69.8 million compared to $34.4 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 June 30, 1995, a total of 188 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 are currently sufficient to finance its working capital and other capital requirements for the foreseeable future. - 9 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
