- 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, 1993 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 1993 Annual Report. Earnings Per Common Share Calculations - - -------------------------------------- The primary net earnings per common share computation is based on net earnings less the preferred stock dividend requirement (in 1994) divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding which includes the common stock equivalency of options granted under the 1983 and 1993 stock incentive plans. The fully diluted net earnings per common share computation assumes, in addition to the above, that the 6% convertible subordinated debentures and Series 2 preferred stock (in 1994) were converted into common stock at the beginning of each period. The resultant reduction in interest costs net of tax and the preferred stock dividend requirement (in 1994) are added back to net earnings. Cash Flow Items - - --------------- Cash payments for interest were $1,424 and $3,314 for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Cash payments for income taxes for the comparable periods were $1,555 and $1,462, 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, 1994 were level with the same period of 1993. While Distribution segment sales increased for the period, the increase was offset by lower sales in the Diversified Technologies segment. Diversified Technologies revenues for the first quarter of 1994 were down 11.8% from the comparable period of 1993, reflecting the adverse influence of conditions in the defense market and the commercial aircraft industry. For some time now, defense expenditures have been declining as changes in U.S. defense planning and spending priorities continue to evolve. These circumstances, coupled with ongoing political pressures upon the federal budget, suggest that reductions in defense expenditures are likely to continue in future periods. Military hardware programs, in particular, are increasingly subject to risks of one form or another, whether it be lack of funding, contract cancellation, or simply the ending of a program. The corporation is feeling the effects of these risks, principally with respect to its SH-2 helicopter. The corporation expects to finish its contract to retrofit certain SH-2Fs to the SH-2G configuration sometime this year. Management does not believe that the U.S. government will have further requirements for retrofits of this helicopter because the Navy is reducing the size of its fleet. And, as fleet size decreases, so does the number of our helicopters remaining in service. The corporation will continue to provide logistics and spare parts support for the SH-2, but at lower levels than in the past. As the federal government responds to the fact that the form of military threat throughout the world has changed and that the American public has grown more intolerant of the loss of lives in military conflict, defense planning and spending priorities are shifting toward greater emphasis on more cost effective advanced technology "smart" weapons which are intended to limit loss of life and unnecessary destruction of property. The corporation has significant expertise in this area, having performed a multitude of government contracts for advanced technology programs over the years. Management believes that the corporation is particularly well positioned to compete in a defense environment that emphasizes advanced technology products and systems, as well as advanced technology services such as computer software development, intelligence analysis, and research and development. - 6 - 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 Diversified Technologies segment continues to perform work on a number of commercial airframe manufacturing programs, although reductions in commercial air travel and consolidation in the domestic aircraft industry have caused a slowdown in aircraft production rates, which has in turn affected the segment's subcontract work. An important aspect of the Diversified Technologies segment commercial diversification efforts is the K-MAX helicopter program. The K-MAX is a medium to heavy lift 'aerial truck' helicopter with special operating characteristics that distinguish it from other helicopters for use in logging, fire fighting, and other utility applications. The program is proceeding according to plan, with receipt of Federal Aviation Administration certification anticipated by mid 1994. The production phase for the first five (5) helicopters has begun and units are expected to be delivered to initial customers shortly after certification is received. The corporation intends to lease the first group under a special lease program in order to maintain active involvement in the product's introduction to the marketplace. Although management believes that this program is an important part of the corporation's defense conversion effort, in the shorter term the program is not expected to materially offset the effects of reduced defense spending. Distribution segment revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1994 increased 9.0% over the same period a year ago. These results are primarily attributable to the industrial technologies business (which comprises about 75% of the Distribution segment) and reflect improving economic conditions in North America as well as, to some extent, the effects of certain marketing and other internal company initiatives. Although total segment revenues remained level, total operating profits for the segments of the corporation were down slightly for the first quarter of 1994 compared to the same period of 1993. In part, these results are attributable to reductions in the higher profit margin Diversified Technologies' hardware programs and increases in lower profit margin Distribution revenues. Specifically, Diversified Technologies operating profits were down 13.4%, for several reasons, including program reductions due to lower defense spending; increased competition for the awarding of defense contracts which has resulted in downward pressures on margins; ongoing research and development costs for defense conversion programs, notably the K-MAX helicopter; and a continuing shift in business mix from hardware programs to research and development type products and services with somewhat lower profit margins. Distribution segment operating profits were up 24.6% for the first quarter of 1994 compared to the same period a year ago. These results are primarily attributable to the industrial technologies business and reflect improvements in the domestic economy. - 7 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued Interest expense for the first three months of 1994 declined 53% from the same period a year ago. This reduction is primarily a result of the corporation's exchange of $61.8 million of its 6% convertible subordinated debentures for $57.2 million of its preferred stock during the fourth quarter of 1993. The consolidated effective income tax rate for the three month period was 40.6% in both 1994 and 1993. Net earnings were $4.2 million for the first quarter of 1994, compared to $4.0 million for the same period of 1993. After giving effect to the preferred stock dividend requirements, earnings available to common shareholders were $3.3 million, compared to $4.0 million in 1993. 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. For general borrowing purposes, the corporation has revolving credit agreements involving several banks located in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. These agreements currently provide unsecured lines of credit totaling $145 million and contain various covenants, including working capital and tangible net worth requirements. Eighty million dollars of the total revolving credit commitment is scheduled to end in January, 1996, with the balance expiring in September, 1996, at which times borrowings may be converted to term loans. There were no borrowings under these agreements during the first three months of 1994 or the same period of 1993. The corporation also maintains other short-term credit arrangements with various banks. As of March 31, 1994, these borrowings were at $26.7 million. For the first quarter of 1994, average bank borrowings against these short-term lines were approximately $30.7 million, compared to $32.3 million for the same period of 1993. As of March 31, 1994, the corporation had repurchased 653,000 Class A shares under its stock repurchase program (which was renewed in 1992 with an authorization to purchase up to 700,000 Class A shares). The purpose of the 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 working capital and other capital requirements for the foreseeable future. - 8 - KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 4.
