NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT (Unaudited) ______________________________________________________________________________ NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the period ended July 2, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended October 1, 1994. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Pilgrim's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 2, 1993. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pilgrim's and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated at end-of-period exchange rates, except for non-current assets which are translated at equivalent dollar costs at dates of acquisition using historical rates. Operations of foreign subsidiaries are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. The translation adjustments are reflected in the statements of operations. NOTE B--NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE Earnings per share for the periods ended July 2, 1994 and July 3, 1993 are based on the weighted average shares outstanding for the periods. NOTE C--INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following: July 2, 1994 Oct 2, 1993 Live broilers and hens $ 51,238,000 $ 44,417,000 Feed, eggs and other 29,385,000 25,473,000 Finished poultry products 22,133,000 21,904,000 $102,756,000 $ 91,794,000 =========== ========== NOTE D--INCOME TAXES Effective October 3, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of FAS Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." As permitted under the new rules, prior years' financial statements have not been restated. The cumulative effect of adopting Statement 109 as of October 3, 1993 resulted in no change to the reported net income amounts for the nine months ended July 2, 1994. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's United States deferred tax liabilities and assets as of October 3, 1993 are as follows (no significant foreign deferred tax assets or liabilities exist): Deferred tax liabilities: Tax over book depreciation $ 23,004,000 Prior use of cash accounting 32,758,000 Total deferred tax liabilities 55,762,000 Deferred tax assets: AMT credit carryforward 3,967,000 General business carryforward 2,462,000 Net operating loss carryforwards 6,589,000 Other 6,088,000 Total deferred tax assets 19,106,000 Net deferred tax liabilities $ 36,656,000 ========== During the second quarter of fiscal 1994, pursuant to an organizational restructuring of activities completed by the Company's Mexican subsidiaries which significantly reduced Mexican taxes, the Company changed to computing its income tax provision on a separate jurisdiction versus consolidated basis. Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following table presents certain items as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated. Percentage of Net Sales Percentage of Net Sales Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended July 2, 1994 July 3, 1993 July 2, 1994 July 3, 1993 (13 weeks) (13 weeks) (39 weeks) (40 weeks) Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Costs and expenses: Cost of sales 87.2% 88.8% 87.1% 87.2% Gross profit 12.8% 11.2% 12.9% 12.8% Selling, general and administrative 6.4% 6.0% 6.5% 6.1% Operating Income 6.4% 5.2% 6.4% 6.7% Interest expense 2.1% 2.8% 2.2% 3.1% Income before income taxes and extraordinary charge 4.2% 2.3% 4.4% 3.7% Net Income before extraordinary charge 3.0% 1.6% 3.4% 2.7% Extraordinary charge-early repayment of debt 0% .6% 0% .2% Net Income 3.0% 1.1% 3.4% 2.5% Third Quarter 1994, Compared to Third Quarter 1993 Consolidated net sales were $238.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1994, an increase of $17.7 million, or 8.0%, over the third quarter of fiscal 1993. The increase in consolidated net sales resulted from a $14.8 million increase in domestic chicken sales to $166.9 million, a $4.0 million increase in Mexican chicken sales to $47.9 million offset partially by a $1.1 million decrease in sales of other domestic chicken products to $23.6 million. The increase in domestic chicken sales was primarily due to a 7.3% increase in the total revenue per dressed pound produced and a 2.3% increase in dressed pounds produced. The increase in Mexican chicken sales was primarily due to a 13.8% increase in the total revenue per dressed pound produced offset partially by a 4.2% decrease in dressed pounds produced. The increased net chicken sales both domestically and in Mexico were caused primarily by stronger demand for chicken products resulting in higher sales prices. The decrease in sales of other domestic products was primarily due to lower sales of commercial eggs due to lower prices offset partially by increased sales of retail feed products. Consolidated cost of sales was $207.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1994, an increase of $11.9 million or 6.1%, over third quarter of fiscal 1993. The increase resulted from a $13.5 million increase in the cost of sales from domestic operations offset partially by a $1.6 million decrease in cost of sales of Mexican operations. The cost of sales increase in domestic operations of $13.5 million was primarily due to a 10.1% increase in feed ingredient costs, a 2.3% increase in dressed pounds produced and increased costs of sales in the Company's sales of other domestic products. The cost of sales decrease in Mexican operations of $1.6 million was primarily due to a 4.2% decrease in dressed pounds produced and lower live production costs due to increased efficiencies. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 12.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 1994 from 11.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 1993. The increased gross profit of the Company's Mexican operation was primarily the result of a 13.9% increase in total revenue per dressed pound offset partially by slightly higher average cost of sales per dressed pound. The increased gross profit in domestic chicken operations was a result of increased total revenues per dressed pound offset partially by increased cost of sales per dressed pound. The decreased gross profit in other domestic products was primarily due to lower sales prices for commercial eggs and poultry by-products. Consolidated selling general and administrative expenses were $15.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1994, an increase of $2.0 million or 15.4%, when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1993. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 6.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 compared to 6.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 1993; these increases were primarily due to increased provisions for losses on accounts receivable and selling expenses in the Company's Mexican operation, increased accrued retirement and bonuses costs due to higher operating profits offset partially by reduced selling and administrative costs in the Company's domestic operation. Consolidated operating income was $15.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 an increase of $3.7 million, or 32.2%, when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1993. The increase was due primarily to higher margins which were a result of the reasons discussed above. Consolidated net interest expense was $4.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1994 a decrease of $1.3 million or 21.5%, when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1993. This decrease was due to a reduction of amortization of fees and expenses incurred for refinancing, lower outstanding debt and lower interest rates when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1993. Consolidated income tax as a percentage of income before income taxes decreased in the third quarter of fiscal 1994 to 28.7% compared to 30.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 1993 due primarily to the restructuring of Mexico activities and the changes in computation of the tax provision as discussed above. See Note D to the Consolidated Financial Statement. Nine Months Ended July 2, 1994, Compared to Nine Months Ended July 3, 1993 The accounting cycle of Pilgrim's Pride Corporation, (the "Company"), consisted of 39 weeks of operations during the first nine months of fiscal 1994 compared to 40 weeks during the first nine months of fiscal 1993, an operating cycle reduction of 2.5%. Consolidated net sales were $683.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1994, an increase of $14.6 million, or 2.2%, over the first nine months of fiscal 1993. The increase in consolidated net sales resulted from a $16.2 million increase in domestic chicken sales to $465.6 million, a $.2 million increase in sales of other domestic products to $76.3 million offset partially by a $1.9 million decrease in Mexican chicken sales to $141.4 million. The increase in domestic chicken sales was primarily due to a 5.0% increase in the total revenue per dressed pound produced partially offset by a 1.3% decrease in dressed pounds produced. The increased domestic chicken sales was caused by stronger demand for chicken products resulting in higher sales prices. The increase in sales of other domestic products was primarily due to increased sales of retail feed products offset partially by lower sales of commercial eggs and poultry by-products. The decrease in Mexican chicken sales was primarily due to a 2.0% decrease in the total revenue per dressed pound produced due to lower prices, the effects of change in Mexican operation's sales mix and a .7% decrease in total dressed pounds produced. Consolidated cost of sales was $595.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1994, a $12.2 million increase, or 2.1% over the first nine months of fiscal 1993. The increase resulted from a $24.6 million increase in the cost of sales in domestic operations offset by a $12.4 million decrease in cost of sales of Mexican operations. The cost of sales increase in domestic operations of $24.6 million was primarily due to a 9.6% increase in feed ingredient costs, increased production costs per dressed pound produced and increased costs of sales in the Company's sales of other domestic products occurring while dressed pounds produced decreased 1.3%. The cost of sales decrease in Mexican operations of $12.4 million was primarily due to lower live production costs due to increased efficiencies. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 12.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 1994 from 12.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 1993. The increased gross profit of the Company's Mexican operations was primarily the result of higher margin caused by a 10.8% decrease in average cost of sales per dressed pound offset partially by a 2.0% decrease in total revenue per dressed pound. The decreased gross profit for domestic operations was primarily the result of lower margins caused by higher costs offset partially by higher sales prices. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $44.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1994, an increase of $3.5 million or 8.6%, when compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1993. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased in the first nine months of fiscal 1994 to 6.5% compared to 6.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 1993; these increases are primarily due to increased provisions for losses on accounts receivable and selling expenses in the Company's Mexican operation, increased accrued retirement and bonuses costs due to higher operating profits offset partially by reduced selling and administrative costs in the Company's domestic operations. Consolidated operating income was $43.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1994, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 2.5%, when compared to the first nine months of 1993. The decrease was due primarily to lower margins in domestic operations offset partially by higher margins in the Company's Mexican operations which were a result of reasons previously discussed. Consolidated net interest expense was $14.8 million a decrease of $5.9 million, or 28.6%, when compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1993. This decrease was due to a reduction of amortization of fees and expenses incurred for refinancing, and lower amounts of outstanding debt when compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1993. Consolidated income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes decreased in the first nine months of fiscal 1994 to 21.6% compared to 25.5% in the first nine months of 1993. This decrease was due primarily to the restructuring of Mexico activities and the change in computation of the tax provision as discussed above. See Note D to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's liquidity in the first nine months of fiscal 1994 improved from the previous year end due to record first nine months net income. The Company's working capital at July 2, 1994 increased to $99.3 million ($89.1 million excluding current deferred income taxes recorded in connection with the adoption of FAS 109) from $72.7 million at October 2, 1993. The current ratio at July 2, 1994 increased to 2.24 to 1 (2.11 to 1 excluding current deferred income taxes recorded in connection with the adoption of FAS 109) from 1.77 to 1 at October 2, 1993 and the Company's stockholder's equity increased to $154.6 million at July 2, 1994 from $132.3 million at October 2, 1993. The Company reduced its ratio of total debt to capitalization to 52.1% at July 2, 1994 from 58.3% at October 2, 1993. The Company maintains a $75 million revolving credit facility maturing in May 1997 with unused lines of credit of $63.9 million available at August 15, 1994. In July 1994, the Company secured $10 million in stand-by long-term financing from an existing lender, secured by existing collateral. The facility is available through June 20, 1995 and the Company expects to renew the facility annually unless drawn upon. Trade accounts and other accounts receivable were $55.9 million at July 2, 1994, a $3.7 million decrease from October 2, 1993. This 6.3% decease was due primarily to a decrease in the amounts of property insurance claims receivable at July 2, 1994 and improved collections experienced in the third quarter of fiscal 1994. Inventories were $102.8 million at July 2, 1994, a $11.0 million increase from October 2, 1993. This 11.9% increase was primarily due to an increased production which require higher inventories and higher feed costs which are included in live broiler and hens and feed, eggs and other inventories until such time as they are sold. Other current assets were $1.5 million at July 2, 1994, a 84.7% decrease from October 2, 1993, due primarily to the reclassification of assets held for sale, principally farmland which had previously been used in the Company's non-poultry related farming operation discontinued during fiscal 1992, to other assets. The reclassification was made based on a change in the Company's expectation of when the assets in question will in fact be sold. Accounts payable were $39.9 million at July 2, 1994, a 4.1% increase from October 2, 1993, primarily due to increases in feed ingredient costs. Deferred tax assets recorded in accordance with FAS 109 were $19.1 million as of October 3, 1993. The company believes that all of these deferred tax assets will be realized through the reversal of existing temporary differences and anticipated future taxable earnings. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 were $21.0 million and were primarily incurred to improve efficiencies and for the routine replacement of equipment. The Company anticipates that it will in total spend $27 million or less for capital expenditures in fiscal year 1994 and expects to continue to finance these expenditures with available operating cash flow and leases.
