(1) Quarterly results may not agree to the total for the year due to rounding.

 

(2) Fiscal 2000 quarterly results have been adjusted to properly reflect the quarterly revenue recognized under the Company’s Exit Strategy® contracts.  The impact of the adjustment for the first quarter was to increase gross and net service revenue by $177, income before taxes by $149, net income by $95, and diluted earnings per share by $.01.  The impact of the adjustment for the second quarter was to increase gross and net service revenue by $809, income before taxes by $602, net income by $385, and diluted earnings per share by $.05.  The impact of the adjustment for the third quarter was to increase gross and net service revenue by $972, income before taxes by $894, net income by $572, and diluted earnings per share by $.08.  The impact of the adjustment for the fourth quarter was to decrease gross and net service revenue by $1,958, income before taxes by $1,645, net income by $1,052, and diluted earnings per share by $.14.  The full year 2000 totals of gross and net service revenue, income before taxes, net income and diluted earnings per share did not change.

 

(3) Results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 included additional allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $1.4 million.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

    Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data, the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Overview

 

The Company is a leading provider of technical, financial risk management and construction services to industry and government primarily in the United States market.  The Company’s main focus is in the areas of infrastructure improvements and expansions, environmental management and power development and conservation.

 

Results of Operations

 

In the course of providing its services, the Company routinely subcontracts drilling, laboratory analyses, construction equipment and other services.  These costs are passed directly through to customers and, in accordance with industry practice, are included in gross revenue.  Because subcontractor costs and direct charges can vary significantly from project to project, the Company considers net service revenue, which is gross revenue less subcontractor costs and direct charges, as its primary measure of revenue growth.

 

The following table presents the percentage relationships of items in the consolidated statements of operations to net service revenue:

2001 Compared to 2000

 

The revenue growth trend established in fiscal 1998 continued for the fourth consecutive year.  Gross revenue increased $64.3 million, or 55%, to an all time high of $181.5 million in fiscal 2001, from $117.1 million in fiscal 2000.  Net service revenue increased $39.4 million, or 47%, to an all time high of $124.2 million in fiscal 2001, from $84.8 million in fiscal 2000.  These increases were due to a combination of internal growth arising out of increased revenue from the Company’s services including, as expected, revenue from the Exit Strategy® and power markets, and the additional revenue from acquisitions made in fiscal 2001 and 2000.  Internal growth provided approximately 60% of the increase in net service revenue in fiscal 2001, and the net service revenue

 

19



 

from acquisitions represented approximately 40% of the increase.  Net service revenue from acquired companies is considered part of acquisition growth during the first twelve months from the date acquired.

 

As a percentage of net service revenue, cost of services decreased to 81% in fiscal 2001, from 83.3% in fiscal 2000.  This decrease contributed directly to an increase in income from operations as a percentage of net service revenue (operating margin), which increased from 9.8% last year to 12.8%.  The increase in cost of services of approximately 42% in fiscal 2001 was primarily due to additional operating costs incurred to support the increase in net service revenue and additional operating costs associated with the businesses acquired in fiscal 2001 and 2000.

 

As a percentage of net service revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased from 3.5% in fiscal 2000, to 3.2% in fiscal 2001.  This is a result of controlling overhead at a growth rate below that of revenue, and also contributes directly to an increase in income from operations as a percentage of net service revenue.  The increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately 31% in fiscal 2001 was primarily from additional costs necessary to support the Company’s internal and acquisition growth.

 

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of net service revenue in fiscal 2001, as compared to fiscal 2000, also contributed to a higher operating margin.  The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately 29% in fiscal 2001, as compared to fiscal 2000, was primarily due to the additional goodwill amortization associated with businesses acquired in fiscal 2000 and the related additional purchase price payments comprised of cash and stock recorded in fiscal 2001 associated with those acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, the additional depreciation expense on equipment acquired through acquisitions.

 

Income from operations increased approximately 92% to $15.9 million in fiscal 2001, from $8.3 million in fiscal 2000.  The continued improvement in operating performance was primarily due to the Company’s focus toward higher margin, economically driven markets such as the Exit Strategy® and power sectors; and the growth in revenue, without comparable increases in operating overhead.  The fiscal 2001 growth in operating income was equally balanced between internal growth and growth from acquisitions.

 

Interest expense increased approximately 51% in fiscal 2001, as compared to fiscal 2000.  This increase was primarily due to higher levels of average debt outstanding during the year to finance acquisitions completed in fiscal 2001 and 2000.  The Company’s percentage of debt to capitalization ratio continues to remain low, reflecting management’s conservative philosophy.

 

The provision for federal and state income taxes reflects an effective rate of 37.6% in fiscal 2001, compared to 36% in fiscal 2000.  This increase was primarily due to nondeductible goodwill amortization resulting from the acquisitions completed in fiscal 2001 and 2000.  The Company believes that there will be sufficient taxable income in future periods to enable utilization of available deferred income tax benefits.

 

2000 Compared to 1999

 

The revenue growth trend established in fiscal 1998 continued.  Gross revenue increased $38.9 million, or 50%, to an all time high of $117.1 million in fiscal 2000, from $78.2 million in fiscal

 

20



 

1999.  Net service revenue increased $27.5 million, or 48%, to an all time high of $84.8 million in fiscal 2000, from $57.3 million in fiscal 1999.  These increases were due to a combination of internal growth arising out of increased demand for the Company’s services including, as expected, revenue from the Exit Strategy® program, and the additional revenue from the acquisitions completed in fiscal 2000 and 1999.  Internal growth provided approximately 45% of the increase in net service revenue in fiscal 2000, and the net service revenue from acquisitions represented approximately 55% of the increase.  Net service revenue from acquired companies is considered part of acquisition growth during the first twelve months from the date acquired.

 

Cost of services increased by 47% in fiscal 2000, as compared to fiscal 1999.  As a percentage of net service revenue, cost of services decreased to approximately 83%, from 84% in fiscal 1999.  The increase in cost of services was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue, higher costs for professional compensation, the additional costs associated with acquired businesses, and increased allowances for doubtful accounts as a result of the significant increase in revenue year over year.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by 21.5% in fiscal 2000, as compared to fiscal 1999.  This increase was primarily due to additional costs to support the Company’s growth.  However, as a percentage of net service revenue, these costs decreased to approximately 3.5%, from 4.3% in fiscal 1999.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 18% in fiscal 2000, as compared to fiscal 1999.  This increase was primarily attributable to the additional amortization expense of costs in excess of the net assets of acquired businesses in fiscal 2000 and 1999 and to a lesser extent the additional depreciation expense on equipment acquired through acquisitions.

 

Income from operations increased by approximately $4.0 million, or 91%, to $8.3 million in fiscal 2000, from $4.3 million in fiscal 1999.  As a percentage of net service revenue, operating income increased to approximately 10%, up from 7.5% in fiscal 1999.  The continued improvement in operating performance was primarily attributable to the Company’s focus toward higher margin, economically driven markets largely related to the Exit Strategy ® program; and the growth in revenue without comparable increases in operating overhead.  Internal growth provided approximately 40% of the operating income increase in fiscal 2000, and acquisitions provided approximately 60% of the increase.

 

Interest expense increased by approximately 102% during fiscal 2000, as compared to fiscal 1999.  This increase was primarily attributable to higher levels of debt outstanding at higher interest rates to finance acquisitions completed during the year and capital expenditures to support the Company’s growth.

 

The provision for federal and state income taxes reflects an effective income tax rate of 36% in both fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999.  The Company believes that there will be sufficient taxable income in future periods to enable utilization of the deferred income tax benefits.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

The Company’s operations have not been materially affected by inflation or changing prices because of the short-term nature of many of its contracts and the fact that most contracts of a longer term are subject to adjustment or have been priced to cover anticipated increases in labor and other costs.

 

21



 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company relies on cash provided by operations and borrowings based upon the strength of its balance sheet to fund operations.  The Company’s liquidity is assessed in terms of its overall ability to generate cash to fund its operating and investing activities and to reduce debt.  Of particular importance in the management of liquidity are cash flows generated from operating activities, capital expenditure levels and an adequate bank line of credit.Operating activities are the principal source of cash flow for the Company, generating approximately $19.8 million of cash flow during fiscal 2001, as compared to using $1.4 million of cash flow last year.  The increase in operating cash flow was primarily driven by improved operating performance, the increase in billings in advance of revenue earned of approximately $7.6 million, the income tax benefit resulting from the exercise of employee stock options and warrants of approximately $2.1 million, and to a lesser extent from aggressive working capital management, including a reduction in accounts receivable expressed as a percentage of gross revenue.

 

Investing activities used cash of approximately $14.8 million in fiscal 2001.  The acquisition of businesses completed in fiscal 2001 and additional purchase price payments on acquisitions completed in fiscal 2000 required the use of approximately $5 million.  Expenditures during fiscal 2001 for additional equipment and information technology systems to support business growth increased to $5.4 million, from $3.3 million in fiscal 2000.  The Company also invested approximately $4.5 million during fiscal 2001 primarily in unconsolidated affiliates that provide services in the demand side of the power market.  In fiscal 2002, the Company expects to make expenditures for equipment to support continuing business growth of approximately $4 million and expects expenditures for acquisitions to increase at a stronger pace than to fiscal 2001.

 

The Company relies on its bank financing arrangement to assist in funding various operating and investing activities.  The Company has a $25 million revolving credit agreement, collateralized by accounts receivable, which expires March 2003.  Depending on the timing of the expenditures for investing activities in fiscal 2002, the Company may request an increase in the amount available pursuant to the revolving credit facility.  Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the bank’s base rate or the Eurodollar rate plus applicable margins.  At June 30, 2001, borrowings outstanding pursuant to the agreement were $14 million at an average interest rate of 5.6%.  This level of borrowings is down from $21 million a year earlier.

 

The Company expects to increase its available cash flow over the next fiscal year, primarily from operations and further reductions in working capital derived mainly from the collection of accounts receivable.  The Company believes that cash generated from operations, the cash on hand at June 30, 2001 and available borrowings under the revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements for fiscal 2002.

 

Market Risks

 

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit agreement with a commercial bank.  These borrowings bear interest at variable rates and the fair value of this indebtedness is not significantly affected by changes in market interest rates.  An effective increase or decrease of 10% in the current effective

 

22



 

interest rate under the revolving credit agreement would not have a material effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

 

New Accounting Guidance

 

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”) and No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) which are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2001.  The Company expects to early adopt SFAS 142 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2001 and will implement the provisions of SFAS 141 for acquisitions occurring after June 30, 2001.  SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations.  Under SFAS 142, amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will discontinue upon adoption of this standard and goodwill and intangible assets will be tested for impairment in accordance with the provisions of the statement.   The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS 141 and 142 and assessing their impact.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

TRC Companies, Inc. and subsidiaries

In thousands, except share data

 

Note 1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

                A.            The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.  Investments in affiliates in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for by the equity method.  Certain financial statement items have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s format.

 

                B.            The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

                C.            Property and equipment are recorded at cost, including costs to bring the equipment into operation.  Major improvements and betterments to existing equipment are capitalized.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  The Company provides for depreciation of property and equipment utilizing the straight-line method using estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years.  Accelerated methods are used for income tax purposes.

 

                D.            Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lives of the various leases or the useful lives of the improvements.

 

                E.             Goodwill resulting from acquired businesses is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 20 to 30 years.  When events and circumstances indicate, the Company reassesses the appropriateness of both the carrying value and remaining life of these costs.  Such reassessments are computed using forecasted cash flows on an undiscounted basis and other factors.

 

                F.             The Company records revenue on its cost type and time and material contracts based upon direct labor costs and other direct contract costs incurred.  Revenue from fixed fee contracts is recorded using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.  Revenue is recognized primarily based on the ratio of labor costs incurred to total estimated labor costs.  Third party direct costs are included in revenue and contract costs in the period incurred.  Contract costs include direct labor costs, subcontractor costs and other direct costs.  Indirect costs are expensed as incurred.  Exit Strategy® contracts are generally segmented into two profit centers: (1) remediation and (2) operation, maintenance and monitoring (OM&M). Costs and revenue on long-term contracts are subject to revision throughout the lives of the contracts and any required adjustments are

 

28



 

made in the period in which the revisions become known.  Losses on contracts are recorded in the period in which they are identified.

 

On contracts where billings are in advance of revenue earned, the excess is presented on the balance sheet as a current liability.

 

                G.            Effective June 1, 1996, the Company adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”).  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company applies the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related interpretations in accounting for stock options.

 

                H.            In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities.  The Company adopted this statement effective July 1, 2001.  Since the Company does not have any derivative instruments, the adoption of this statement did not impact the Company’s consolidated operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

 

                I.              Earnings per share is computed in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share.  Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants.

 

                                There are no adjustments to net income for purposes of computing earnings per common share for the years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999.  For purposes of computing diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding was increased by 720,137 shares, 344,946 shares and 56,278 shares in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, representing the potential dilutive effects of outstanding stock options and warrants.

 

                J.             The Company has 401(k) savings plans covering substantially all employees.  The Company’s contributions to the plans were approximately $1,203, $816 and $578 in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The Company does not provide post-employment or other post-retirement benefits.

 

                K.            Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the Company’s subordinated notes as reflected in the financial statements approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.  The carrying amount of the Company’s note payable pursuant to its revolving credit agreement at June 30, 2001, approximates fair value as the interest rate on this instrument changes with market interest rates.

 

                L.             Financial instruments which subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable and unbilled costs.  The Company performs on going credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses.

 

29



 

Note 2.  BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

 

                The Company conducts its activities under one business segment which involves providing engineering and consulting services primarily in the areas of infrastructure improvements and expansions, environmental management and power development and conservation. The Company’s services and products are provided to commercial organizations and government agencies primarily in the United States market.

 

Note 3.  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

                The current portion of accounts receivable at June 30, 2001 and 2000 is comprised of the following:

3,205

 

 

 

$

61,090

 

$

Unbilled costs represent billable amounts recognized as revenue primarily in the last month of the fiscal year.  Management expects that substantially all unbilled costs will be billed and collected in the subsequent year.  Retainage represents amounts billed but not paid by the customer which, pursuant to the contract, are due at completion.

 

The long-term portion of accounts receivable at June 30, 2001 and 2000 of $2,046 and $140, respectively, relates to unbilled costs on Exit Strategy contracts and represent amounts, which are not collectible within one year.

 

                Net service revenue from contracts with U.S. Government agencies amounted to approximately $8,758, $7,728 and  $9,407 in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

                At June 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $1,497 of operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future federal taxable income.  These loss carryforwards relate to certain acquisitions and expire in years 2008 through 2020.  Although utilization of these carryforwards is subject to certain limitations, the Company believes that all of the carryforwards will be utilized prior to their expiration.  In fiscal 2000, the Company received a tax benefit of $226 as a result of the utilization of previously limited acquired operating loss carryforwards.  The benefit was recorded as a reduction to goodwill.

 

Note 7.  LEASE COMMITMENTS

 

                The Company has commitments at June 30, 2001 under noncancelable operating leases for office facilities and equipment.  Rental payments, net of sublease receipts, charged to operations in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 were approximately $5,900, $4,887 and $4,189, respectively.  Certain leases for office facilities require payments for expenses under escalation clauses.

 

                Minimum future operating lease obligations payable in future fiscal years are as follows:

Note 8.  STOCK OPTIONS

 

                The Company’s non-qualified stock option plan for employees and directors, as amended, authorizes the granting of options, including performance-based options, with exercise prices at no less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date such options are granted.  The option term is fixed by the Board of Directors at the time of grant, but cannot exceed ten years and generally begins within a specified period after the

 

34



 

date of grant.  No accounting recognition is given to stock options until they are exercised, at which time the proceeds are credited to the capital accounts.  The Company receives a tax benefit upon exercise of these options in an amount equal to the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the common stock at that date.  Tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options are credited to additional paid-in capital when realized for financial reporting purposes.

                Grants in fiscal 2000 include 141,334 options granted to certain senior managers in exchange for a reduction in cash compensation to the grantees over a one-year period, with the individual’s receiving one option for every $3.75 of salary reduction.

 

                Since the Company applies the provisions of APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for stock options and warrants, no compensation cost has been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the stock option and warrant plans.  Had compensation cost for the stock option and warrant plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under those plans, consistent with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company’s pro forma net income and earnings per share for the years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 would have been as follows:

Note 9.  CONTINGENCIES

 

                The Company has entered into several long-term contracts under its Exit Strategy program under which the Company is obligated to complete the remediation of environmental conditions at a site for a fixed fee. The Company assumes the risk for all remediation costs for preexisting site environmental conditions and believes that through in-depth technical analysis, comprehensive cost estimation and creative remedial approaches it is able to execute pricing strategies which protect the Company’s return on these projects.  As additional protection, the Company obtains remediation cost cap insurance from rated insurance companies (e.g., American International Group) which provides coverage for cost increases arising from unknown or changed conditions up to a specified maximum amount significantly in excess of the estimated cost of remediation.  Upon signing of the contract, the Company receives the fixed fee contract price which is deposited in a restricted account held by the insurance company and the Company is reimbursed as it performs under the contract.    The Company believes that it is adequately protected from risks on these projects and that adverse developments, if any, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

 

                One Exit Strategy contract entered into by the Company also involved the Company entering into a consent decree with government authorities and assuming the obligation for the settling responsible parties’ environmental remediation liability for the site.  The Company’s expected remediation cost is fully funded by the contract price

received and is fully insured by an environmental remediation cost cap policy.  The Company recorded as a non-cash transaction the environmental remediation liability it had assumed and a corresponding insurance recoverable.

 

                The Company’s contracts with the U.S. Government are subject to examination and renegotiation.  Contracts and other records of the Company have been examined through June 30, 1996.  The Company believes that adjustments resulting from such examination or renegotiation proceedings, if any, will not have a material impact on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in shareholders’ equity, and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TRC Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
