6. Acquisitions On July 21, 2000 the Company completed the acquisition of Wynn's International, Inc. (Wynn's). Wynn's is a leading manufacturer of precision- engineered sealing media for the automotive, heavy-duty truck and aerospace markets with annualized calendar year 2000 sales of $573 million. On September 29, 2000 the Company acquired the pneumatics business of Invensys plc, with annual sales of $50 million, which specializes in the design and production of equipment and controls for automated processes. On April 30, 2001 the Company acquired the Miller Fluid Power and Wilkerson Corporation businesses of CKD-Createc. Miller Fluid Power manufactures both pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders and Wilkerson Corporation manufactures a complete line of compressed air treatment and control products. The combined sales of the two Createc businesses totaled $90 million during calendar 2000. Total purchase price for these businesses was approximately $506 million in cash and assumed debt of $62 million. These acquisitions are being accounted for by the purchase method. -7- 7. Net assets held for sale Net assets held for sale represents the estimated net cash proceeds and estimated net earnings during the holding period (including incremental interest expense on debt incurred in the acquisition) of the metal forming and building systems businesses, which were acquired as part of Commercial Intertech in fiscal 2000, and the specialty chemical and warranty businesses of Wynn's. During the third quarter of fiscal 2001, approximately $3.5 million of income from operations and $1.7 million of interest expense were excluded from the Consolidated Income Statement and included in the carrying value of Net assets held for sale. During the first nine months of fiscal 2001, approximately $19.9 million of income from operations and $5.5 million of interest expense were excluded from the Consolidated Income Statement and included in the carrying value of Net assets held for sale. In April 2001 the one-year period in which the earnings of the metal forming and building systems businesses are excluded from the Company's Consolidated Income Statement expired. The Company still intends to divest, and is currently in active negotiations to divest, the metal forming business. As such, the net assets of the metal forming business will continue to be presented as one line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the results of operations of the metal forming business will be included (and presented as a single line item) in the Consolidated Income Statement of the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. The Company has decided to suspend its efforts to sell the building systems business. As such, the net assets of the building systems business will be presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as individual line items and the results of operations of the building systems business will be included in the Consolidated Income Statement of the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. 8. Financial instruments Effective July 1, 2000 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Due to the immaterial amount of derivative and hedging activity within the Company, the effect of adopting SFAS 133 on the Company's results of operations and financial position was immaterial. 9. Debt In November 2000 the Company issued EUR 300 million of five-year Euro Notes in the European debt capital market. The Notes bear interest of 6.25 percent, payable annually, and mature in a balloon payment on November 21, 2005. The proceeds from the Note issuance were used to retire the principal and interest due on the bridge loan created to help finance the Wynn's acquisition. 10. Extraordinary Item - Extinguishment of Debt In February 2001 the Company redeemed its outstanding $100 million, 9.75 percent debentures due 2002-2021. The extraordinary loss for this transaction, including an early-redemption premium and the write-off of deferred issuance costs, was $5,413 ($3,378 after-tax or $.03 per share). Commercial paper borrowings were used to finance the redemption. -8- PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION FORM 10-Q MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AND COMPARABLE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME Net sales increased 10.1 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2001 and 15.4 percent for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2001. Without acquisitions, Net sales decreased 4.5 percent for the current-year quarter and declined slightly for the first nine months of fiscal 2001, primarily the result of lower volume in the Industrial North American operations. Income from operations was $161.2 million for the current-year third quarter and $470.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2001, a decrease over the prior-year third quarter of 9.6 percent and an increase of 8.5 percent over the prior-year first nine months, respectively. As a percent of sales, Income from operations declined to 10.5 percent from 12.8 percent for the quarter and declined to 10.5 percent from 11.2 percent for the first nine months. Cost of sales, as a percent of sales, increased to 79.1 percent from 77.1 percent for the quarter and increased to 78.5 percent from 78.0 percent for the first nine months. The decline in margins for the current-year third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2001 are primarily the result of lower volume in the Industrial North American operations as well as lower margins contributed by recent acquisitions not yet fully integrated. Improved operating performance in the Aerospace operations partially offset the decline in margins. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales, increased to 10.4 percent of sales from 10.1 percent for the quarter and to 11.0 percent from 10.8 percent for the first nine months, primarily due to goodwill amortization related to recent acquisitions. Interest expense increased $9.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 and $27.9 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2001 due to higher average debt outstanding in both the current-year quarter and first nine months as a result of increased borrowings to complete acquisitions. Interest and other (income) expense, net for the quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2001 includes a $3.7 million gain on the sale of marketable equity securities. Interest and other (income) expense, net for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 also includes a $55.5 million gain realized on the sale of real property and $5.4 million of certain asset writedowns. Interest and other (income) expense, net for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 included $6.4 million in gains primarily from the sale of real property and $8.4 million of asset impairment losses and other plant closure costs. The effective tax rate increased to 35.5 percent for the first nine months of fiscal 2001, compared to 34.5 percent in the prior-year first nine months. The increase in the rate is due to the non-deductibility of goodwill recognized as a result of the Company's recent acquisitions. In the current-year quarter the Company redeemed its outstanding $100 million, 9.75 percent debentures due 2002-2021 resulting in an after-tax extraordinary loss of $3.4 million or $.03 per share. Net income decreased 17.5 percent for the quarter and increased 14.2 percent for the first nine months, as compared to the prior year. As a percent of sales, Net income decreased to 5.7 percent from 7.7 percent for the quarter and decreased to 6.5 percent from 6.6 percent for the first nine months. Backlog was $2.01 billion at March 31, 2001 compared to $1.74 billion in the prior year and $1.80 billion at June 30, 2000. Current fiscal year acquisitions accounted for 47 percent of the increase in backlog since June 30, 2000, with the balance coming from strong order rates in the Aerospace operations. -9- RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT INDUSTRIAL - The Industrial Segment operations had the following percentage changes in Net sales in the current year when compared to the equivalent prior- year period:
Period ending March 31, ----------------------- Three Months Nine Months ------------ ----------- Industrial North America 9.7% 21.6% Industrial International 10.9% 10.8% Total Industrial 10.1% 18.3%
Without the effect of currency-rate changes, Industrial International sales would have increased 19.4 percent for the quarter and 22.3 percent for the first nine months of fiscal 2001. Without the effect of acquisitions completed within the past 12 months, the percentage changes in Net sales would have been:
Period ending March 31, ----------------------- Three Months Nine Months ------------ ----------- Industrial North America (12.2)% (3.5)% Industrial International 0.9 % 1.0 % Total Industrial (8.3)% (2.1)%
Excluding the effect of acquisitions, the decrease in Industrial North American sales for the current-year quarter reflects lower volume experienced across most of the Industrial North American markets, particularly in heavy-duty truck and automotive as well as semiconductor manufacturing in the latter part of the quarter. The decrease in Industrial North American sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 is attributable to lower volume in a number of markets, particularly in heavy-duty truck and automotive, partially offset by higher volume in the semiconductor manufacturing and telecommunications markets. Slight volume gains in the Asia Pacific region and Latin America accounted for the increase in Industrial International sales for the current-year quarter. The increase in Industrial International sales for the first nine months is attributed to higher volume in the Asia Pacific region (particularly in the semiconductor manufacturing and telecommunications markets) and Latin America, partially offset by lower volume (including the negative effect of currency rates) experienced across most markets in Europe. Operating income for the Industrial segment decreased 11.9 percent for the quarter and increased 9.8 percent for the first nine months of fiscal 2001. Industrial North American operating income decreased 19.6 percent for the quarter and increased 5.2 percent for the first nine months of fiscal 2001. Industrial North American operating income, as a percent of sales, declined to 10.9 percent from 14.9 percent for the quarter and to 12.2 percent from 14.1 percent for the first nine months. The decline in margins for the current-year quarter and first nine months reflect the weakness experienced in most of the Industrial North American markets, resulting in the underabsorption of fixed costs. Margins for both the current-year quarter and first nine months were also negatively impacted by recent acquisitions not yet fully integrated. Industrial International operating income increased 18.4 percent for the quarter and 31.7 percent for the first nine months of fiscal 2001. Included in the Industrial International operating income for the prior year nine-month period was $9.0 million in business realignment charges. Without the business realignment charges, Industrial International operating income increased 15.1 percent for the current year first nine months compared to the prior year nine months. Industrial International operating income, as a percent of sales, increased to 9.3 percent from 8.8 percent for the quarter and to 7.9 percent from 7.6 percent for the nine months, excluding the business realignment charges. The increase in margins for the current quarter is primarily due to improved operating efficiencies in Europe (a result of the business realignment charges taken in the prior year). Excluding the business -10- realignment charges, the increase in margins for the first nine months is primarily due to the higher volume and better capacity utilization in the Asia Pacific region and Latin America, as well as improved operating efficiencies in Europe. Margins for both the current-year quarter and first nine months were negatively impacted by recent acquisitions not yet fully integrated. Total Industrial Segment backlog increased 23.9 percent compared to March 31, 2000 and 8.9 percent since June 30, 2000, primarily due to recent acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease in order rates in the Industrial North American operations. For the remainder of the fiscal year, management anticipates that business conditions across most Industrial markets are expected to be similar to that experienced in the current-year third quarter although the rate of decline in order rates may lessen. Profit improvement teams have been established to study the logistics system and recommend improvements to enhance operating margins in Europe. The Company expects to record charges during the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year based upon the recommendations of the review teams as well as charges relating to plant rationalizations in North America. The costs of these charges are expected to offset a significant amount of the one-time gain realized in the current-year first quarter on the sale of real property. AEROSPACE - Net sales of the Aerospace Segment increased 10.1 percent for the current-year quarter and 4.9 percent for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 as a result of an increase in the level of both the OEM and aftermarket businesses. Operating income for the Aerospace Segment increased 27.2 percent for the quarter and 30.3 percent for the nine-month period. Included in the Aerospace operating income for the prior year nine-month period was $4.4 million in business realignment charges. Excluding the business realignment charges, operating income, as a percent of sales, increased to 19.7 percent from 17.0 percent for the quarter and to 17.9 percent from 14.9 percent for the nine-month period due to higher volume as well as a higher mix of aftermarket business. Backlog for the Aerospace Segment increased 11.0 percent compared to March 31, 2000 and 14.4 percent since June 30, 2000. Backlog increased primarily due to an increase in the level of OEM business, as well as strong aftermarket orders. For the remainder of the fiscal year, the recent increase in the level of order rates for the OEM business is expected to continue, while the level of order rates in the aftermarket business is expected to moderate. A change to heavier OEM volume in future product mix could result in lower margins.
