RADNOR HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Radnor Holdings Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, “Radnor,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company, the statements include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) required for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year, due to the seasonality inherent in some of the Company’s operations and the possibility for general economic changes.

 

2. POLAR PLASTICS ACQUISITION

 

On November 14, 2003, the Company purchased a business consisting of a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, including thermoforming and injection molding machines capable of producing polypropylene and polystyrene products, raw material storage and handling equipment, as well as related production assets and net working capital. The purchase price for the assets was approximately $22.3 million, consisting of $4.5 million in cash paid at closing, issuance of a six-year note in the amount of $10.0 million bearing interest at 6.0% (with interest but no principal payable until January 1, 2005), the assumption of $9.3 million in other long-term contractual liabilities, net of an estimated $1.5 million due from Polar Plastics based on working capital levels. Polar Plastics and certain of its affiliates and key management also entered into seven-year non-competition agreements that will require an additional $3.0 million in payments over five years.

 

If the Acquisition had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2003, pro forma revenues and net loss for the second quarter and six months ended June 27, 2003 would have been approximately $91.6 million and $179.8 million and $4.3 million and $6.5 million, respectively. These pro forma disclosures are unaudited and are based on historical results, adjusted for the impact of certain acquisition-related items such as depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and identified intangibles, increased interest expense on acquisition debt and the related income tax effects. This unaudited pro forma disclosure is presented for informational purposes only and should not be construed to be indicative of the actual results of operations of the combined companies on the dates for the periods indicated or of the results that may be obtained in the future.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

 

On March 11, 2003, the Company issued $135.0 million of 11.0% Senior Notes due 2010 and amended its domestic revolving credit facility to include a $45.0 million term loan and to increase the revolving credit commitment from $35.0 million to $45.0 million. The Company recorded $1.8 million of other expenses related to extinguishment of long-term debt, which included the $1.0 million write-off of deferred financing costs and debt premium related to the repayment of the Company’s 10.0% Series A and Series B Senior Notes due 2003, as well as $0.8 million of personnel costs directly related to the debt extinguishment.

 

On April 27, 2004, the Company issued $70.0 million of Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2009. The notes bear interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 6.75% per year. Interest on the notes is reset quarterly and is payable quarterly, with the first payment having been made on July 15, 2004. The notes will mature on April 15, 2009. The net proceeds were used to repay a then outstanding $40.5 million term loan and outstanding borrowings under the existing revolving credit facilities.

 

6. INTEREST EXPENSE

 

Included in interest expense was $256,000 and $147,000 of amortization of deferred financing costs for the three months ended June 25, 2004 and June 27, 2003, respectively, and $428,000 and $521,000 of amortization of deferred financing costs for the six months ended June 25, 2004 and June 27, 2003, respectively. Interest expense also included premium amortization of $105,000 for the six months ended June 27, 2003 related to the issuance of the Company’s 10% Series B Senior Notes due 2003, which were repaid on March 11, 2003.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

At June 25, 2004, the Company had a stock-based compensation plan as described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for fiscal 2003. The Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan. As of June 25, 2004, all previously issued stock options were fully vested. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the Company’s net loss for stock options, as options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. In the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure” and will account for all prospective option grants under the fair value method. No stock options have been issued by the Company subsequent to its adoption of SFAS No. 148.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to its stock option plan (in thousands):

9. SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Radnor Holdings Corporation is a holding company that has no operations separate from its investment in subsidiaries. The Company’s $135.0 million of 11.0% Senior Notes due 2010 and $70.0 million of Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2009 are fully and unconditionally jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned by the Company.

 

As a holding company, the Company is dependent upon dividends and other payments from its subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet its obligations. Subject to certain limitations, the Company is, and will continue to be, able to control its receipt of dividends and other payments from its subsidiaries.

 

There are no direct prohibitions on the ability of the Company or any guarantor to obtain funds from its respective subsidiaries by dividend or by loan, but certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ credit agreements contain covenants, such as minimum debt to equity and current assets to current liabilities ratios, that indirectly limit the ability of these subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Company. As of June 25, 2004 and December 26, 2003, the net assets of these foreign subsidiaries totaled $33.0 million and $29.8 million, respectively.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

General

 

Radnor Holdings Corporation is a leading manufacturer and distributor of a broad line of disposable foodservice products in the United States and specialty chemical products worldwide. We operate 15 plants in North America and 3 in Europe and distribute our foodservice products from 10 distribution centers throughout the United States. On November 14, 2003 we acquired the operations of Polar Plastics, Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition extended our product line to include thermoformed and injection molded foodservice products. We are also upgrading our thermoforming equipment and installing new production lines to facilitate the introduction of our proprietary cold drink cups in 2004.

 

We have been manufacturing expandable polystyrene, or EPS, and related products sold to the foodservice, insulation and protective packaging industries for more than 25 years. In the foodservice industry, we are the second largest manufacturer of foam cup and container products in the United States. By capacity, we are also the fifth largest worldwide producer of EPS. In fiscal 2003, we produced 13 billion foam cups for hot and cold drinks, foam bowls and containers and thermoformed lids and 354 million pounds of EPS. We supply 100% of our own EPS needs in addition to supplying EPS to other manufacturers of foodservice, insulation and protective packaging products.

 

Net Sales

 

Net sales represent the sales of the Company’s products less (i) cash discounts and allowances, which historically have averaged approximately 2% of gross sales, and (ii) sales and marketing rebates.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Raw material costs represent a large portion of the Company’s cost of goods sold and are susceptible to price fluctuations based upon supply and demand as well as general market conditions. Beginning in July 2003 through July 2004, market prices of styrene monomer, the primary raw material in the Company’s foam products, increased by 54% to $.60 per pound. Although future raw material prices cannot be predicted with accuracy, prices for styrene monomer are forecasted by independent industry surveys and producer reports to increase through August 2004 to $.67 per pound and then decrease by approximately 10% over the remainder of 2004. While the Company has been able to pass on the majority of past raw material price increases to customers, the Company may not be able to increase prices if raw material costs rise further in the future.

 

Our plastic cups and cutlery are thermoformed and injection molded from polypropylene and polystyrene resins. The prices of polystyrene resins generally fluctuate in a fashion similar to the fluctuations affecting styrene monomer, since polystyrene is largely a derivative of styrene monomer. Prices can also change based on the operating rates of polystyrene manufacturing facilities. Published contract pricing for high-impact polystyrene, or HIPS, is currently $0.76 per pound. The forecasted price of HIPS is expected to range between $0.62 and $0.83 per pound during 2004.

 

Polypropylene resin pricing generally follows the raw material price of propylene and is influenced by the operating rates of polypropylene manufacturing locations. Polypropylene has had a tendency to fluctuate significantly over time. For example, the contract price for polypropylene has ranged from $0.40 to $0.51 per pound from July 2003 through July 2004. Independent industry surveys and producer reports project the contract price for polypropylene to decline to approximately $0.45 per pound by the end of 2004.

 

16


Distribution Expense

 

The Company delivers its products from its distribution centers using a combination of common carriers and its own fleet of leased vehicles. Distribution expense consists of the costs to ship products, including costs of labor and leased vehicles.

 

Key Business Indicators

 

The Company’s financial results are directly impacted by several key items, which management has identified as key indicators in its evaluation of the business. These indicators include:

 

  Sales Volumes – The comparison of unit volumes sold versus the comparable period in prior years provides key operating information.

 

  Pricing Spread over Raw Material Costs – The selling prices of the Company’s products as compared to various raw material costs, including styrene monomer, polystyrene and polypropylene, are key financial performance metrics.

 

  Energy-Related Costs – Energy-related costs provide key information with respect to overall profitability.

 

Comparability of Periods

 

Financial results for the periods presented are not fully comparable because of the Acquisition in November 2003.

 

Results of Operations

 

Executive Summary

 

The Company’s profitability improved significantly during the three and six months ended June 25, 2004 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Results from the Acquisition, combined with higher across-the-board selling prices and increased sales volumes, more than offset increases in raw material costs as gross profit increased 77.1% and 38.5%, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 25, 2004. Income from operations increased $6.1 million and $8.2 million for the three and six months ended June 25, 2004, respectively, as increases in operating expense were more than offset by higher gross profit.

 

Three months ended June 25, 2004 compared with the three months ended June 27, 2003

 

Consolidated Results

 

Significant Trends

 

As discussed above, the Company’s principal raw materials are styrene monomer and resins made from polypropylene and polystyrene. Market prices for styrene monomer were approximately 30% higher during the quarter ended June 25, 2004 than in the same period in 2003 due in large part to escalating feedstock costs, while market prices for polypropylene and polystyrene increased approximately 14% and 8%, respectively. Gross margin increased from 14.2% of net sales during the three months ended June 27, 2003 to 19.3% of net sales during the three months ended June 25, 2004, demonstrating the Company’s ability to offset higher raw material costs with increased selling prices and improved operating efficiencies.

 

In June 2004, the Company implemented a price increase on its foodservice foam products averaging approximately 6%. In July 2004, an 8% price increase was implemented on its foodservice plastic products. In addition to these recently implemented foodservice price increases, the Company has announced an increase on both foam and plastic products effective September 2004, which is expected to average 6%.

Net sales for the three months ended June 25, 2004 were $108.1 million, a 29.9% increase from $83.2 million for the three months ended June 27, 2003. This increase was primarily caused by the Acquisition (11.5%), higher sales volumes (10.7%) and higher average selling prices (3.7%), combined with favorable changes in foreign currency rates (2.7%).

 

Gross profit increased by $9.1 million to $20.9 million or 19.3% of net sales for the three months ended June 25, 2004 from $11.8 million or 14.2% of net sales for the similar three-month period in 2003. This increase was primarily due to the impact of higher sales volumes at the specialty chemicals operations ($8.4 million), foodservice packaging and EPS selling price increases ($3.0 million), lower energy costs at the packaging operations ($2.7 million) and the Acquisition ($2.0 million). These changes were partially offset by higher raw material costs ($6.4 million).

 

During the three months ended June 25, 2004, operating expenses increased $3.0 million to $16.3 million from $13.3 million for the three months ended June 27, 2003. The increase was primarily due to higher distribution costs resulting from higher sales volumes.

 

For the reasons described above, income from operations increased by $6.1 million for the three months ended June 25, 2004 to $4.6 million from a $1.5 million loss for the comparable period in 2003.

 

Interest expense increased $1.3 million to $6.4 million during the three months ended June 25, 2004 from $5.1 million in the comparable period in the prior year, due to higher average debt levels primarily resulting from the Acquisition and higher average interest rates. Other expenses of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 25, 2004 were comparable to the same period last year.

 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 25, 2004 was 2%, as compared to 38% in the same period in the prior year. This reduction in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the creation of a reserve against certain expenses at the Company’s Canadian operations. As of June 25, 2004, the Company had $88.5 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes, which expire through 2024.

The operating results of the packaging segment improved during the quarter ended June 25, 2004, compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Increased sales volumes and selling prices more than offset higher raw material costs and operating expenses, resulting in a $4.5 million increase in income from operations.

 

Net sales in the packaging segment for the three months ended June 25, 2004 increased 26.4% to $60.4 million from $47.8 million during the second quarter of 2003. This increase was primarily due to the Acquisition (20.1% or $9.6 million), combined with higher average selling prices and increased sales volumes (2.7% or $1.3 million).

 

Gross profit increased $6.2 million to $13.6 million for the three months ended June 25, 2004 from $7.4 million for the comparable fiscal quarter in 2003. This increase was primarily caused by lower energy costs ($2.7 million) and the impact of the Acquisition ($2.0 million), combined with higher average selling prices ($0.8 million). As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased from 15.5% for the three months ended June 27, 2003 to 22.5% for the three months ended June 25, 2004.

 

Operating expenses increased $1.7 million to $8.7 million during the three months ended June 25, 2004 from $7.0 million during the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher distribution costs ($0.8 million), combined with higher selling, general and administrative expenses ($0.9 million).

 

For the reasons described above, income from operations increased $4.5 million to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 25, 2004 from $0.4 million in the prior year period.

Income from operations

     2.7      0.4      2.3    575.0 %

 

For the three months ended June 25, 2004, net sales in the specialty chemicals segment increased $13.0 million or 34.1% to $51.1 million from $38.1 million during the three months ended June 27, 2003. This increase was primarily due to an increase in sales volumes (22.0% or $8.4 million). In addition to increased sales volumes, higher selling prices (6.1% or $2.3 million) and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (5.9% or $2.2 million) also contributed to the increase in net sales. Net sales included $3.4 million and $2.7 million of sales to the packaging segment for the three months ended June 25, 2004 and June 27, 2003, respectively, which were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Gross profit increased by $2.9 million to $7.3 million or 14.3% of net sales for the three months ended June 25, 2004 from $4.4 million or 11.5% of net sales for the similar three-month period in 2003. This increase was primarily due to the impact of increased sales volumes ($8.4 million) and higher selling prices ($2.2 million), partially offset by higher styrene monomer costs ($9.3 million).

 

19


For the three months ended June 25, 2004, operating expenses increased by $0.6 million to $4.6 million from $4.0 million in the prior year period primarily due to higher distribution costs resulting from the growth in sales volumes.

 

For the reasons described above, income from operations increased $2.3 million to $2.7 million during the three months ended June 25, 2004 compared to $0.4 million in the prior year period.

 

Corporate and Other

 

Corporate operating expenses increased by $0.6 million during the fiscal quarter ended June 25, 2004 compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2003 primarily due to higher insurance-related costs.

 

Six months ended June 25, 2004 compared with the six months ended June 27, 2003

Income from operations

     9.2      1.0      8.2    820.0 %

 

Net sales for the six months ended June 25, 2004 were $204.4 million, a 25.0% increase from $163.5 million for the six months ended June 27, 2003. This increase was primarily caused by the impact of the Acquisition (10.7%), higher sales volumes and higher selling prices (8.7%), and favorable changes in foreign currency rates (4.3%).

 

Gross profit for the six months ended June 25, 2004 increased to $39.6 million from $28.6 million for the same period in the prior year. This was primarily caused by increased sales volumes at the Specialty Chemicals operations ($8.2 million), higher average selling prices at our specialty chemicals and foodservice packaging operations ($5.2 million), the Acquisition ($4.0 million), and the impact of cost reduction initiatives implemented in the prior year. These changes were partially offset by higher raw material costs ($9.4 million). As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased from 17.5% for the six months ended June 27, 2003 to 19.4% for the six months ended June 25, 2004.

 

During the six months ended June 25, 2004, operating expenses increased $2.8 million to $30.4 million from $27.6 million for the six months ended June 27, 2003. The increase was primarily due to higher distribution costs ($2.4 million), and higher selling, general and administrative expenses ($1.2 million), offset by $1.8 million of expenses incurred during the six months ended June 27, 2003 related to the extinguishment of long-term debt as described in Note 5 for which there was no corresponding expense in the current period.

 

For the reasons described above, income from operations increased by $8.2 million for the six months ended June 25, 2004 to $9.2 million from $1.0 million for the comparable period in 2003.

 

Interest expense increased $1.5 million to $12.0 million during the six months ended June 25, 2004 from $10.5 million in the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to higher average debt levels resulting from the Acquisition and higher average interest rates. Other expense of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 27, 2004 was comparable to the same period last year.

 

20


The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 25, 2004 was 7%, as compared to 38% in the same period in the prior year. This reduction in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the creation of a reserve against certain expenses at the Company’s Canadian operations. As of June 25, 2004, the Company had $88.5 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes, which expire through 2024.

During the six months ended June 25, 2004, net sales increased by $23.5 million or 25.3% to $116.3 million, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was mainly due to the Acquisition (18.9% or $17.6 million), combined with higher average selling prices and sales volumes (2.5% or $2.4 million).

 

Gross profit increased $6.4 million to $26.0 million for the six months ended June 25, 2004 from $19.6 million for the comparable six-month period in 2003. This was primarily caused by the Acquisition ($4.0 million), combined with higher average selling prices ($1.6 million) and lower energy-related costs ($1.3 million). As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased from 21.1% for the six months ended June 27, 2003 to 22.4% for the six months ended June 25, 2004.

 

Operating expenses increased $3.1 million to $15.8 million during the six months ended June 25, 2004 from $12.7 million during the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher distribution costs ($1.9 million), combined with higher selling, general and administrative expenses ($1.1 million).

 

For the reasons described above, income from operations increased $3.3 million to $10.2 million for the six months ended June 25, 2004 from $6.9 million in the prior year period.

For the six months ended June 25, 2004, net sales in the specialty chemicals segment increased 25.7% to $94.4 million from $75.1 million during the six months ended June 27, 2003. This increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes ($8.2 million) as unit sales increased 12%. In addition to sales volumes, and the impact of favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($7.0 million), higher selling prices ($3.6 million), resulting from implemented price increases, also contributed to the increase in sales. Net sales included $6.3 million and $4.4 million of sales to the packaging segment for the six months ended June 25, 2004 and June 27, 2003, respectively, which were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Gross profit increased by $4.6 million to $13.6 million or 14.4% of net sales for the six months ended June 25, 2004 from $9.0 million or 12.0% of net sales for the similar six-month period in 2003. This was primarily due to increased sales volumes ($8.2 million) and higher EPS selling prices ($3.6 million), as described above, and lower fixed costs ($2.2 million) resulting from improved operating efficiencies and cost reduction initiatives implemented during the prior year. These changes were partially offset by higher styrene monomer costs ($10.1 million).

 

For the six months ended June 25, 2004, operating expenses increased by $1.0 million to $9.2 million from $8.2 million in the prior year period primarily due to the impact of changes in foreign currency rates ($0.7 million) and higher distribution costs ($0.5 million) resulting from higher sales volumes described above.

 

For the reasons described above, income from operations increased $3.6 million to $4.4 million during the six months ended June 25, 2004 compared to $0.8 million in the prior year period.

 

Corporate and Other

 

Corporate operating expenses decreased by $1.2 million during the six months ended June 25, 2004 compared to the six months ended June 27, 2003. This decrease was due to $1.8 million in other expenses related to the extinguishment of long-term debt that occurred on March 11, 2003 for which there was no corresponding expense in the current period, partially offset by higher insurance-related costs.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the six-month period ended June 25, 2004, the Company had after tax cash flow of $5.4 million and an increase in working capital of $21.6 million, resulting in a negative cash flow from operating activities of $16.2 million. The increase in working capital was primarily due to higher accounts receivable ($11.7 million) and inventory ($8.7 million), partially offset by higher accounts payable ($6.7 million). Accounts receivable increased due to higher sales volumes and selling prices, while inventory increased primarily due to increases in raw material costs. The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to higher raw material costs.

 

During the six months ended June 25, 2004, inventory turnover was approximately 5.8 times per year compared to 6.0 during the same period last year, due in part to the Acquisition. As of June 25, 2004, the average collection period for our accounts receivable was 43 days as compared to 45 days in the prior year period.

 

The Company used $8.9 million in investing activities during the six months ended June 25, 2004. The Company spent $5.4 million in capital expenditures while other assets increased by $4.5 million primarily due to deposits paid related to the purchase of new manufacturing equipment and payments related to raw material supply contracts, which are amortized over the length of the contracts. Distributions received from investments exceeded additional investments by $1.0 million during the six-month period.

On April 27, 2004, the Company issued $70.0 million of Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2009. The notes bear interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 6.75% per year. Interest on the notes resets quarterly, with the first payment having been made on July 15, 2004. The notes will mature on April 15, 2009. The net proceeds of the issuance were used to repay a then outstanding $40.5 million term loan and outstanding borrowings under the existing revolving credit facilities.

 

As of June 25, 2004, the Company had $45.2 million outstanding under its revolving credit facilities. After taking into account cash on hand, we would have had the ability to draw up to an additional $17.8 million under these facilities as of June 25, 2004. The principal uses of cash for the next several years will be debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. From time to time, the Company evaluates and may pursue various capital raising transactions including the sale of debt or equity securities and the divestiture of non-core assets, in order to enhance the Company’s overall liquidity and improve its capital structure.

 

As a holding company, the Company is dependent upon dividends and other payments from its subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet its obligations. Subject to certain limitations, the Company is, and will continue to be, able to control its receipt of dividends and other payments from its subsidiaries. Under the Company’s current business plan, the Company expects that in 2004 and in the long-term, cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company’s expected operating needs. However, as a result of uncertainties including pricing of the Company’s products, general market and economic conditions and fluctuations in raw material prices, the Company is not able to accurately predict the amount of cash that will be generated from operating activities and cash generated from operating activities, if any, may not be sufficient to meet the Company’s operating needs. To the extent that the Company uses cash in operating activities, we expect that such amounts will be financed from borrowings under credit facilities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
