NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 and the consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flow for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2005 and October 1, 2004 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flow at September 30, 2005 and for all periods presented have been made.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

On May 28, 2004, the Company purchased the remaining 50% ownership interest of Armkel, LLC (“Armkel”) that it did not own from affiliates of Kelso & Company (“the Armkel acquisition”) for a purchase price of approximately $262.0 million and Armkel was merged into the Company. Results of operations for Armkel’s business are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from May 29, 2004. Prior to May 28, 2004, the Company accounted for its investment in Armkel under the equity method. All material intercompany transactions and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company’s fiscal year begins on January 1st of the year stated and ends on December 31st. Quarterly periods are based on a 4 weeks - 4 weeks - 5 weeks methodology. As a result, the first quarter can include a partial or expanded week in the first four week period of the quarter. Similarly, the last five week period in the fourth quarter could be a partial or expanded week.

4. Earnings Per Share

 

Basic EPS is calculated based on income available to common shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS includes additional dilution from potential common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options outstanding and the dilutive effect of convertible debentures. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate Basic EPS is reconciled to those shares used in calculating Diluted EPS as follows:

5. Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for costs of stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, rather than the fair-value based method in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. In connection with the Armkel acquisition, the Company paid cash and issued options to purchase 97,500 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $22.88 per share to certain executives in accordance with the provisions of Armkel’s Equity Appreciation Rights Plan (“EAR Plan”). The unvested portion of the EAR Plan options is being amortized over a two year vesting period and is recognized as expense as vesting occurs. The amount recognized as expense for the stock options granted under the EAR Plan was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months, and $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and October 1, 2004, respectively.

 

During the second quarter of 2005, the Company issued restricted stock to elected and appointed officers of the Company. Those officers that elect to use a portion of their annual incentive compensation bonus to purchase the Company’s common stock will receive a premium of 20% of the amount purchased (to a maximum of 50% of their bonus). This premium will be provided in the form of restricted shares, which have a cliff vesting term of 3 years. During the three year vesting period, officers holding these shares will have voting rights and receive dividends either in cash or through reinvestment in additional shares. During the second quarter of 2005, approximately 4,000 restricted shares were issued. The $146 thousand value of these restricted shares will be expensed over the three year vesting period.

 

During the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, the Company issued approximately 0.7 million and 0.9 million stock options at an average fair value of $13.56 and $10.58 per share respectively, based upon the Black Scholes option pricing model. Key assumptions used for 2005 and 2004, respectively, were: expected life 6.6 years and 6.5 years, expected volatility 33.0% and 28.1%, risk-free interest rate 4.0% and 4.3%, dividend yield 0.7% and 0.7%.

 

The Company’s pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share for the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 and 2004, determined as if the Company had adopted the fair value method of SFAS 123, are as follows:

The Company has 50 percent ownership interests in Armand Products Company (“Armand”) and The ArmaKleen Company (“ArmaKleen”). Since the Company does not control these entities, they are accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. With respect to periods prior to the Armkel acquisition, the equity earnings derived from Armkel’s domestic results are included in the Consumer Domestic segment, and the equity earnings derived from its international results are included in the Consumer International segment. The equity earnings of Armand and ArmaKleen are included in Corporate.

 

Some of the subsidiaries that are included in the Consumer International segment manufacture and sell personal care products to the Consumer Domestic segment. These sales are eliminated from the Consumer International segment results.

 

Segment sales and income before taxes and minority interest for the third quarter and nine month periods of 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

Household Products include deodorizing and cleaning products and laundry products. These products have a similar production process, method of sales and distribution and class of customers. The Company has combined these products under Household Products because, following the Armkel acquisition, each individual group of products has less significance to the Company’s consolidated results.

The Company made cash contributions of approximately $4.3 million to certain of its pension plans during the first nine months of 2005 and expects to make additional contributions of $1.2 million during the remainder of the year.

 

12. Commitments, contingencies and guarantees

 

  a. In December 1981, the Company formed a partnership with a supplier of raw materials which mines and processes sodium mineral deposits owned by each of the two partners in Wyoming. The Company purchases the majority of its sodium raw material requirements from the partnership. This agreement terminates upon two years’ written notice by either company. The Company has an annual commitment to purchase 240,000 tons, based upon market price. There are no other material transactions with the partnership or the Company’s partner.

 

  b. The Company’s distribution of condoms under the Trojan and other trademarks is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Certain of the Company’s condoms and similar condoms sold by its competitors, contain the spermicide nonoxynol-9 (N-9). The World Health Organization and other interested groups have issued reports suggesting that N-9 should not be used rectally or for multiple daily acts of vaginal intercourse, given the ingredient’s potential to cause irritation to human membranes. The Company expects the FDA to issue guidance concerning the labeling of condoms with N-9, although the timing of such guidance remains uncertain. The Company believes that condoms with N-9 provide an acceptable added means of contraceptive protection and is cooperating with the FDA concerning the appropriate labeling revisions, if any. However, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the FDA review. While awaiting further FDA guidance, the Company has implemented interim labeling revisions that caution against rectal use and more-than-once-a-day vaginal use of N-9-containing condoms, and has launched a public information campaign to communicate these messages to the affected communities. If the FDA or state governments promulgate rules which prohibit or restrict the use of N-9 in condoms (such as new labeling requirements), the financial condition and operating results of the Company could suffer.

 

  c. On October 26, 2005, a New Jersey state court jury rendered a $15.0 million verdict against the Company. The verdict (the “Andes litigation”) followed a trial involving a claim against the Company by Andes Trading De Mexico S.A., alleging that the Company breached a purported agreement granting the plaintiff exclusive distribution rights in Mexico with respect to the Company’s consumer products. The Company disagrees with the verdict and believes that it is not supported by the evidence offered at the trial. As a result of the verdict, the Company recorded an $8.3 million charge in its consolidated statement of income for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, which is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses and charged to the Consumer International segment. The Company intends to vigorously pursue an appeal of the verdict.

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

  d. The Company has commitments to acquire approximately $79.3 million of raw material and packaging supplies from its vendors at market prices. The packaging supplies are in either a converted or non-converted status. This enables the Company to respond quickly to changes in customer orders/requirements.

 

  e. The Company has outstanding letters of credit of approximately $6.0 million with several banks which guarantee payment for such things as insurance claims in the event of the Company’s insolvency, a year’s worth of lease payments on a warehouse, and 200 days of interest on an Industrial Revenue Bond borrowing.

 

  f. In connection with the acquisition of Unilever’s oral care brands in the United States and Canada, the Company is required to make additional performance-based payments of a minimum of $5.0 million and a maximum of $12.0 million over the eight year period following the October 2003 acquisition. All payments will be accounted for as additional purchase price. The Company has paid approximately $4.3 million since the acquisition.

 

  g. The Company, in the ordinary course of its business, is the subject of, or a party to, various pending or threatened legal actions. The Company believes that any ultimate liability arising from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position.

 

13. Assets Held For Sale

 

As part of the Armkel acquisition, the Company has title to property and facilities in Cranbury, New Jersey, which includes research facilities that are in use as well as assets that are held for sale. In the third quarter of 2004, the Company entered into a contract to sell sections of the land available for development (and demolish the remaining buildings at the buyer’s expense), subject to obtaining environmental and other regulatory approvals. The Company closed on the sale during the third quarter of 2005 at a price that approximated book value. In the first quarter of 2005, the Company entered into a contract to sell the remaining assets held for sale. The value expected to be received for the remaining parcel of land at the Cranbury, NJ location (other than that related to the research facilities), net of costs to sell, is approximately $4.6 million. This asset is included in the Consumer Domestic segment.

 

In January 2005, the Company signed an agreement to sell its manufacturing plant in Mexico. At the end of April, the Company closed on the sale of this facility and received, net of costs to sell, approximately $2.4 million, which is included in the Consumer International segment. The new owner of the plant is manufacturing products for the Company.

 

14. Subsequent Events

 

On October 31, 2005, the Company closed on its previously announced acquisition of the SpinBrush toothbrush business from The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”). The Company paid $75.0 million in cash at closing. The Company will pay an inventory settlement amount following the business transfer and additional cash payments of up to $30.0 million based on the near-term performance of the business. The acquisition was funded out of the Company’s available cash. An independent appraisal of the assets acquired has just commenced. The Company anticipates a significant amount of the purchase price will be allocated to intangible assets. Under the terms of the agreement, P&G will provide transition services for several months. As a result, the Company will not consolidate sales and will account for the net profit as other revenue within operating income during the transition period.

 

Late in the third quarter of 2005, the Company announced the closure of a consumer packaged goods plant at one of its international locations. This closure is subject to regulatory approval, which the Company expects to receive by the end of 2005. The Company estimates that the costs relating to the closure (which include both severance and asset impairment charges) will be between $5.0 million and $7.0 million.

 

15. Reclassification

 

Certain immaterial prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with the current year presentation.

 

16. Supplemental Financial Information of Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Operations

 

The 6% senior subordinated notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Church & Dwight Company, a Wyoming corporation (“C&D Wyoming”). The Company and guarantor financial information includes the Parent Company and C&D Wyoming, whose total assets are approximately 1% of total Company and guarantor assets. The following information is being presented in response to Item 3-10 of Regulation S-X, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Supplemental information for condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, condensed consolidated income statements and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and October 1, 2004 and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 and October 1, 2004 are summarized as follows (amounts in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Results of Operations

 

The discussion of results of operations at the consolidated level is followed by a more detailed discussion of results of operations by segment for the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 compared to the same periods of 2004. The segment discussion also presents certain product line fluctuations. As a result of the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Armkel, LLC (“Armkel”) that the Company did not previously own from affiliates of Kelso & Company (“Kelso”) on May 28, 2004 (the “Armkel acquisition”), and Armkel’s subsequent merger with the Company, the results of operations of the former Armkel business are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements from the date of acquisition. To enhance comparability to prior periods, the discussion of the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 separately addresses contributions of the former Armkel product lines for the five month period ended May 27, 2005.

 

Consolidated Results

 

Net Sales

 

Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased $22.4 million or 5.3% to $442.7 million, as compared to $420.3 million in the previous year’s third quarter. Of the increase, $2.1 million is attributable to favorable foreign exchange rates and a $1.1 million reduction of promotion reserves due to a change in estimate. Effective price increases on certain domestic products and the introduction of Elexa, a premium line of sexual health products for women, contributed to the higher sales. Last year’s third quarter included a similar promotion reserve adjustment of $1.3 million.

 

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $248.1 million or 23.5% to $1,305.2 million, as compared to $1,057.1 million last year. Of the increase, $208.1 million reflects sales of former Armkel products during the five month period ended May 27, 2005, which are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated results, and $4.5 million is attributable to favorable foreign exchange rates. Included in the nine month sales results are the previously noted reduction of promotion reserves.

 

Operating Costs

 

The Company’s gross margin in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 declined to 37.8% from 38.2% in the prior year. This decline is due to sharp price increases for oil-based raw and packaging materials, certain commodity chemicals and a $2.4 million charge for obsolete plant fixed assets, partially offset by the effect of cost reduction programs and pricing actions which the Company has implemented over the last twelve months. Gross margin in 2004 reflected an acquisition related inventory step-up charge of $6.2 million in connection with the Armkel acquisition. Gross margin for the nine month period was 38.1% as compared to 35.6% last year due to the full period effect of the Armkel acquisition and the factors described above.

 

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which occurred late in the third quarter, had a minor effect on third quarter results. However, the devastating damage to oil and chemical production facilities in the Gulf region resulted in widespread shortages and sharp price increases for raw and packaging materials, diesel fuel and energy. While the Company has been able to identify alternative supply sources, and maintain normal service levels to its customers, it is expected that higher commodity prices will adversely affect fourth quarter earnings by $0.06-$0.07 per share.

 

Marketing expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased slightly to $52.0 million, as compared to $51.0 million for the same period of 2004. Expenses for Elexa, and higher expenses for Consumer International products were partially offset by slightly lower marketing expenses for certain Personal Care products. For the nine month period, marketing expenses increased $29.4 million as compared to the nine month period of 2004. Expenses associated with the former Armkel products during the five months ended May 27, 2005 were approximately $28.0 million. Marketing expenses for the Company’s other product lines were slightly higher than last year as a result of expenses for Elexa partially offset by lower expenses for certain deodorizing and cleaning products.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased $5.5 million to $61.7 million as compared to $56.2 million in the same period last year. Included in the current quarter is an $8.3 million charge related to the Andes litigation. (For a further explanation, please refer to item “c” in footnote 12, Commitments, contingencies and guarantees.) In addition, an increase in research & development costs and selling expenses associated with higher net sales were more than offset by lower deferred and performance-based compensation costs and lower Sarbanes-Oxley Act related expenses. For the nine month period SG&A expenses increased $42.9 million as compared to last year. Costs associated with the former Armkel business for the five months ended May 27, 2005 were approximately $38.0 million. The remaining $4.9 million increase reflects the other factors described above, as well as $4.3 million in intangible asset impairment charges recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2005, which was partially offset by lower information system costs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased $0.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and $9.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the year ago periods. The nine month change is largely due to the Armkel acquisition on May 28, 2004. The combined earnings of the Company’s other equity investments increased $0.9 million during the nine month period.

 

Other income and expense in the 2005 periods includes the effect of foreign exchange remeasurement losses related to intercompany loans between the Company’s subsidiaries. Other income and expense for the nine month period ended October 1, 2004 reflects a gain on the sale of a warehouse by our Canadian subsidiary.

 

Interest expense decreased in the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 due to lower debt outstanding as a result of both voluntary and mandatory debt payments and the refinancing of most of the Armkel $225.0 million 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes during the fourth quarter of 2004. Interest expense for the third quarter of 2004 included $4.9 million associated with the settlement of an appraisal action brought by former Carter-Wallace shareholders.

 

Taxation

 

The effective tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was 30.8% as compared to 31.5% for the same period of last year. This year’s tax rate was impacted favorably by the reversal of tax reserves of $6.0 million related to tax positions in which the statute of limitations has expired. Last year’s tax rate was impacted favorably by an amended prior year tax return that resulted in a benefit related to a prior year research and development tax credit of $2.7 million.

 

Segment results

 

The Company maintains three reportable segments. These segments are based on differences in the nature of products and organizational and ownership structures. Specifically, the Company has identified the following segments: Consumer Domestic, Consumer International and Specialty Products Division (“SPD”). Segment revenues are derived from the sale of the following products:

 

Segment


 

Products


Consumer Domestic

  Household and personal care products

Consumer International

  Primarily personal care products

SPD

  Specialty chemical products

 

Some of the subsidiaries that are included in the Consumer International segment manufacture and sell personal care products to the Consumer Domestic segment. These sales are eliminated from the Consumer International segment results.

 

Segment sales and income before taxes and minority interest for the third quarter and nine month period of 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

With respect to the first five months of 2004, which was prior to the Armkel acquisition, the equity earnings derived from Armkel’s domestic results are included in the Consumer Domestic segment and the equity earnings derived from its international results are included in the Consumer International segment. The equity earnings of Armand Products Company and The ArmaKleen Company are included in Corporate.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

 

Consumer Domestic

 

For the third quarter of 2005, Consumer Domestic Net Sales increased $15.6 million or 5.2% to $314.8 million. Personal care products increased $6.8 million or 5.5% primarily due to sales associated with the introduction of Elexa, and continued growth of condoms and diagnostic kits. Deodorant and toothpaste sales were flat in relation to third quarter sales compared to last year. Household product sales increased $8.7 million or 5.0% due to higher sales of Arm & Hammer and Xtra liquid laundry products and Arm & Hammer Super Scoop cat litter while sales powder laundry detergent were lower. Included in the segment’s results in the current quarter is $0.7 million associated with the reduction of promotion reserves due to a change in estimate. Last year’s second quarter included a similar reversal of $0.9 million. Net Sales for the nine month period increased $125.5 million or 15.8% to $919.7 million. Personal care products increased $105.1 million primarily due to sales associated with the domestic results of the former Armkel products of $102.3 million for the five months ended May 27, 2005, higher sales of condoms and diagnostic kits and sales associated with Elexa, partially offset by lower oral care product sales. Household product sales increased $20.4 million for the reasons described above with respect to the third quarter. Included in the nine month sales results are the previously noted reversal of prior year’s promotion reserves. Reflected in the higher sales for the current quarter and nine month period are price increases for condoms, and certain other products. Early in the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company announced price increases for its liquid laundry detergent, cat litter and baking soda products. As a result of the combination of the increases taken prior and subsequent to the start of the fourth quarter, the Company has increased prices for about 35% of its US domestic product lines over the last twelve months.

 

Consumer Domestic Income before Taxes and Minority Interest for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased $15.6 million to $43.8 million. This is primarily due to the increased contribution from higher sales, lower marketing expenses for certain personal care products, the elimination of a 2004 inventory step-up charge of $4.6 million, lower performance based compensation costs, lower information systems costs and lower interest expense (which includes the elimination of the segment’s allocation of the interest expense portion of the settlement of the appraisal action brought by former Carter-Wallace shareholders). The increased profitability was partially offset by higher manufacturing and freight costs in 2005 resulting from higher oil and natural gas prices. For the nine month period, Income before Taxes and Minority Interest increased $39.8 million to $122.1 million. This is primarily due to the increased contribution from the former Armkel products and the items noted above with respect to the three month period ended September 30, 2005. The segment’s fourth quarter profitability will be negatively impacted by higher raw and packaging material prices and higher diesel fuel and energy costs due to hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The Company has instituted cost reduction programs and pricing actions to help mitigate these cost increases.

 

Consumer International

 

Consumer International Net Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period of last year increased $4.5 million to $74.4 million. Contributing to the increase is $2.2 million relating to favorable foreign exchange rates. The balance of the increase is primarily due to higher sales by the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiary as a result of higher sales of family planning and oral care products. Net Sales for the nine month period increased $114.1 million to $221.8 million. This is primarily due to $105.8 million of sales associated with the former Armkel international business during the five months ended May 27, 2005 and $4.3 million relating to favorable foreign exchange rates.

 

Income (Loss) before Taxes and Minority Interest for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $(5.2) million, a reduction of $10.1 million as compared to the comparable period of last year due to the charge for the Andes litigation and higher marketing expenses. (For a further explanation of the Andes litigation, please refer to item “c” in footnote 12, Commitments, contingencies and guarantees.) The third quarter of 2004 was negatively impacted by a $1.6 million inventory step-up charge. For the nine month period, Income before Taxes and Minority Interest remained flat due to the inclusion of the former Armkel business for the five month period ended May 28, 2005 and the reasons described above with respect to the third quarter.

 

Late in the third quarter of 2005, the Company announced the closure of a consumer packaged goods plant at one of its international locations. This closure is subject to regulatory approval, which the Company expects to receive by the end of 2005. The Company estimates that the costs relating to the closure (which include both severance and asset impairment charges) will be between $5.0 million and $7.0 million.

 

Specialty Products (SPD)

 

Specialty Products Net Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005 grew $2.4 million or 4.7% to $53.5 million in the third quarter of 2005, as a result of higher sales of animal nutrition products and specialty chemical products. For the nine month period, sales increased $8.6 million or 5.5% to $163.7 million for the same reasons as described above with respect to the third quarter.

 

Specialty Products Income before Taxes and Minority Interest for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased $1.0 million to $4.8 million. The increase was due to higher profit contribution associated with higher animal nutrition products sales and a decrease in allocated interest expense, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs for certain specialty chemicals. For the nine month period, Income before Taxes and Minority Interest increased $1.2 million as a result of higher animal nutrition profit contribution partially offset by higher manufacturing costs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company had outstanding total debt of $760.9 million at September 30, 2005. This compares to total debt of $858.7 million at December 31, 2004. The reduction of debt since the beginning of the fiscal year is primarily due to voluntary bank debt payments of $100.0 million. In addition, on August 15, 2005, the Company redeemed all the remaining outstanding 9 ½% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 at a redemption price of 104.75% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued interest to the redemption date. The Company used approximately $7.0 million from available cash to redeem the notes. In April 2005, the accounts receivable securitization facility was renewed with similar terms and a new maturity date of April 2006. At September 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $159.8 million, of which approximately $47.8 million resides in foreign subsidiaries.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a required component of the financial covenants contained in the Company’s primary credit facility and management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as a financial indicator of the Company’s ability to service its indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, which is determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Financial covenants include a total debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio, which if not met, could result in an event of default and trigger the early termination of the credit facility, if not remedied within a certain period of time. Adjusted EBITDA was $234.2 million for the first nine months of 2005. The leverage ratio (total debt to Adjusted EBITDA) for the 12 months ended September 30, 2005 was 2.56, which is below the maximum of 4.25 permitted under the agreement, and the interest coverage ratio (Adjusted EBITDA to total interest expense) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2005 was 6.6 which is above the minimum of 3.0 permitted under the agreement. This credit facility is secured by the assets of the Company and one of its domestic subsidiaries. The reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) to Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is as follows (in millions):

 

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

   $ 131.2  

Interest Expense

   $ 32.3  

Current Income Tax Provision

   $ 42.2  

Change in Working Capital and Other Liabilities

   $ 24.7  

Investment Income

   $ (2.6 )

Other

   $ 6.4  
    


Adjusted EBITDA (per loan agreement)

   $ 234.2  
    


Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

   $ (21.8 )
    


Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

   $ (93.2 )
    


 

During the first nine months of 2005, cash flow from operating activities was $131.2 million. Major factors affecting cash flow from operating activities included operating earnings before non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, and a $24.7 million increase in working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents) and other liabilities. The Company anticipates that working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents) will decline during the fourth quarter of 2005 primarily as a result of lower accounts receivable. Operating cash flow, together with proceeds from stock option exercises and existing cash, were used to make voluntary and mandatory debt repayments, additions to property, plant and equipment, and the payment of dividends. Operating cash flows are expected to be sufficient to meet the anticipated cash requirements for the remainder of the year.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a revised version of SFAS No. 123, “Share-Based Payment”, (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability of companies to use the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”) in connection with equity-based awards, which was permitted under Statement 123 as originally issued. Under APB 25, the issuance of stock options to employees generally resulted in recognition of no compensation cost. SFAS No. 123R requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of those awards in their income statements. For the Company, SFAS No. 123R becomes effective January 1, 2006. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the statement and its method of adoption.

 

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “AJCA”) was enacted on October 22, 2004. The AJCA repeals an export incentive, creates a new deduction for qualified domestic manufacturing activities and includes a special one-time deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings repatriated to the U.S. The FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (FSP FAS 109-1) on December 21, 2004. In accordance with FSP FAS 109-1, the Company will treat the deduction for qualified domestic manufacturing activities, which is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2005, as a reduction of the income tax provision in future years as realized. In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” allowing companies additional time to evaluate the effect of the AJCA on plans for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings. The Company has decided not to repatriate any of its foreign earnings under the AJCA as it has other more efficient repatriation alternatives available to it.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains forward-looking statements relating to, among other things, short- and long-term financial objectives, sales and earnings growth, gross profit margin, earnings per share, effect of commodity price increases, non-cash accounting charges, cash flow, working capital, costs relating to a plant closure, adoption of new accounting guidance, financial forecasts, new product launches and related costs, pricing actions, and cost improvement and operating efficiency programs. Forward-looking statements often contain words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “plans” or “will”. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control and could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. The uncertainties include assumptions as to market growth and consumer demand (including the effect of political and economic events on consumer demand), increases in raw material, packaging and energy prices, the Company’s ability to raise prices or reduce promotion spending, the Company’s ability to implement cost reduction programs in response to commodity price increases, the financial condition of major customers, the risks of currency fluctuations, changes in foreign laws and other risks associated with our international operations and trade, and competitive and consumer reactions to the Company’s products. Other factors, which could materially affect the results, include the outcome of contingencies, including litigation, pending regulatory proceedings, environmental remediation and the acquisition or divestiture of assets, as well as factors discussed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 in Item 1 under the caption, “Risk Factors”.

 

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
