TREX COMPANY, INC.

 

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

 

Trex Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), was incorporated in 1998. The Company manufactures and distributes wood/plastic composite products primarily for residential and commercial decking applications. Trex Wood-Polymer® lumber (“Trex”) is manufactured in a proprietary process that combines waste wood fibers and polyethylene. The Company operates in one business segment.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The consolidated results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and 2003 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003 included in the annual report of Trex Company, Inc. on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation.

 

3. INVENTORY

 

Inventories (at LIFO value) consist of the following (in thousands):

 

     December 31, 2003

   March 31, 2004

Finished goods

   $ 36,227    $ 20,378

Raw materials

     9,723      9,892
    

  

     $ 45,950    $ 30,270
    

  

 

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Since inventory levels and costs are subject to factors beyond management’s control, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

 

4. ACCRUED EXPENSES

 

Accrued expenses consist of the following (in thousands):

 

     December, 31, 2003

   March 31, 2004

Accrued sales and marketing costs

   $ 1,732    $ 6,981

Accrued compensation and benefits

     3,131      2,619

Accrued interest

     156      1,024

5. DEBT

 

The Company’s outstanding debt consists of senior secured notes and real estate loans. The Company also has a revolving credit facility that provides for borrowing up to $20.0 million. Amounts drawn under the Company’s revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base consisting of accounts receivable and finished goods inventories. As of March 31, 2004, no borrowings were outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the borrowing base totaled approximately $42.2 million.

 

The revolving credit facility, real estate loans and the senior secured notes contain negative and financial covenants. As of March 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

 

The Company uses interest-rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the interest rates under its real estate loans. At March 31, 2004, the Company had effectively capped its interest rate exposure at an annual rate of approximately 8.4% on all of its $14.2 million principal amount of floating-rate real estate loans.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with APB No. 25 and its related interpretations. No stock-based compensation cost related to stock option grants has been reflected in net income, as all options granted under the Company’s 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123.
