Arctic Cat Inc.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

NOTE A-BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Arctic Cat Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 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, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2009, the results of operations for the three months and six month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.  Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009 is derived from the audited balance sheet as of that date.

 

Preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related revenues and expenses.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Certain fiscal 2009 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 2010 financial statement presentation.  The reclassification had no effect on previously reported operating results.

 

NOTE B–STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

At September 30, 2009, the Company had stock based compensation plans, all previously approved by the shareholders. Stock options, stock appreciation rights and awards granted under these plans generally vest ratably over one to three years of service, have a contractual life of five to ten years and provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control, as such term is defined in the plans. At September 30, 2009, the Company had approximately 3,775,186 shares available for future grant under its stock option and award plans.

 

The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic No. 718 (“ASC 718”), which requires that the fair value of all share-based payment transactions, including stock options and awards, be recognized in the income statement as an operating expense, based on their fair value over the requisite service period. At September 30, 2009, the Company had $1,912,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options and awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded compensation expense of $1,344,000 and $1,400,000, and for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded compensation expense of $1,760,000 and $1,874,000 in accordance with ASC 718, which has been included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company’s total stock-based compensation related expense decreased both the basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.05 and $0.07 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and by $0.07 and $0.09 for the six month ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the six months ended September 30, 2009.

 

Assumptions:

Dividend Yield:  0%

Average Term: 5 years

Volatility: 32%

Risk free rate of return: 3.3%

The Company’s stock option plan provides for grants of restricted common stock to executives and key employees of the Company.  The restricted common stock is valued based on the Company’s market value of common stock on the date of grant and expensed over the requisite service period which approximates two years.  At September 30, 2009, the Company had 292,500 shares of restricted common stock issued and outstanding under the plan.  The restricted shares have voting rights and participate equally in all dividends and other distributions duly declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

NOTE C-NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

The Company’s basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares.  The Company’s diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing the net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents relating to stock options, when dilutive.  Options to purchase 2,931,922 and 2,368,032 shares of common stock with weighted average exercise prices of $15.05 and $17.20 were outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and options to purchase 2,758,576 and 2,112,130 shares of common stock with weighted average exercise prices of $15.60 and $18.12 were outstanding during the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, all of which were excluded from the computation of common share equivalents because they were anti-dilutive.

Note J—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Dealer Financing

 

Finance companies provide certain of the Company’s dealers and distributors with floor plan financing. The Company has agreements with these finance companies to repurchase certain repossessed products originally sold to its dealers. At September 30, 2009, the Company’s contingent maximum repurchase obligation was approximately $37,852,000. The Company’s financial exposure under these agreements is limited to the difference between the amount paid to the finance companies for repurchases and the amount received upon the resale of the repossessed product. Losses incurred under these agreements during the periods presented have not been material.

 

The Company announced on October 20, 2009 that it has entered into an agreement for GE Capital, Commercial Distribution Finance to become the exclusive provider of floorplan financing for the Company’s U.S. dealers. The new multi-year financing program will replace the Company’s current financing agreement with Textron Financial Corporation, which had previously announced its intent to exit the dealer floorplan business. The new financing program is expected to begin December 1, 2009.

Litigation

 

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business.  Accidents involving personal injury and property damage occur in the use of snowmobiles and ATVs. Claims have been made against the Company from time to time. It is the Company’s policy to vigorously defend against these actions. The Company believes that the cases currently in discovery are adequately covered by reserves and product liability insurance. The Company is not involved in any legal proceedings which it believes will have the potential for a materially adverse impact on the Company’s business or financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE K — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic No. 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”), that requires interim reporting period disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments, effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of ASC 825.  Due to their nature, the carrying value of cash, receivables, payables and debt obligations approximates fair value.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic No. 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”), that incorporates guidance into accounting literature that was previously addressed only in auditing standards.  The statement refers to subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the balance-sheet date as “recognized subsequent events.”  Subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that arose after the balance-sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements are referred to as “non-recognized subsequent events.”  It also requires companies to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether this date is the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued.  ASC 855 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company has adopted this new standard.  Subsequent events have been evaluated through November 9, 2009 and the date of issuance of these financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic No. 105, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”), that replaced FASB Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  ASC 015 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The Company adopted the new Codification when referring to GAAP in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ending September 30, 2009.  This did not have an impact on the consolidated results of the Company.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued ASC Topic No. 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), which requires increased disclosure about the Company’s strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments; the location and amounts of derivative instruments in the Company’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under ASC 815, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the Company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Certain disclosures are also required with respect to derivative features that are credit-risk related.  ASC 815 became effective for the

 

11



 

Company as of January 1, 2009 on a prospective basis.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), that establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquired company and the goodwill acquired.  ASC 805 also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  ASC 805 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of ASC 805 did not have any significant impact on the Company’s accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis beginning in the period it was adopted.

 

NOTE L — CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company includes checks issued but not presented for payment in cash and cash equivalents as a reduction of other cash balances unless checks written are in excess of the bank balance.  As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, checks written in excess of bank balances were $590,000 and $1,639,000 and classified as accounts payable on the balance sheet and a financing activity on the statement of cash flow.

 

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

Arctic Cat Inc. (the “Company”) designs, engineers, manufactures and markets snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles (“ATVs”) under the Arctic Cat brand name, as well as related parts, garments and accessories (“PG&A”) principally through its facilities in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.  The Company markets its products through a network of independent dealers located throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe and through distributors representing dealers in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and other international markets. The Arctic Cat brand name has existed for more than 45 years and is among the most widely recognized and respected names in the snowmobile industry.  The Company trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “ACAT.”

 

Executive Overview

 

The following discussion pertains to the results of operations and financial position of the Company for the quarter and the six month period ended September 30, 2009.  Due to the seasonality of the snowmobile, ATV and PG&A businesses, and to certain changes in production and shipping cycles, results of such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the complete year.

 

For the second quarter ended September 30, 2009 the Company reported net sales of $166.3 million, net earnings of $14.8 million and earnings per share of $0.81 compared to September 30, 2008 quarterly net sales of $204.3 million, net earnings of $16.9 million and earnings per share of $0.93.  Lower operating expenses for the quarter drove a 7% increase in operating profits to $21.9 million from $20.5 million.  For the six month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company reported net sales of $235.7 million, net earnings of $8.8 million and earnings per share of $0.48 compared to net sales of $298.2 million, net earnings of $10.0 million and earnings per share of $0.55 for the same period last year.

Overall demand for recreational products remains weak, due to the continued difficult global economic conditions, higher unemployment, and historically low consumer confidence. As a result, recreational product retail sales declined further in the fiscal 2010 September quarter. Retail sales of the Company’s ATVs and snowmobiles fared somewhat better than the industry as a whole for the quarter. However, because of the weak retail environment, the Company expects significantly lower ATV and snowmobile sales to its dealers as it aligns dealer inventories to better match consumer demand. Given this situation, the Company has implemented several profitability initiatives aimed at improving our margins and, reducing operating expenses to achieve improved operating results this fiscal year on lower sales.

During the fiscal 2010 second quarter, net sales decreased 19% to $166.3 million from $204.3 million in the fiscal 2009 second quarter. ATV unit volume decreased 35%, snowmobile unit volume decreased 26% and PG&A sales decreased $5.5 million.  ATV and snowmobile unit volume decreased primarily due to planned reductions in production as the Company better matches dealer inventory with retail demand. PG&A sales decreases during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were primarily due to the timing of preseason snowmobile parts and ATV accessory shipments and are not indicative of PG&A sales for the full fiscal year.  Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2009, decreased 21% to $235.7 million from $298.2 million for the same period in the fiscal 2009. ATV unit volume decreased 42%, snowmobile unit volume decreased 29% and PG&A sales decreased $4.9 million during the first six months of fiscal 2010 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2009.  ATV and snowmobile unit volume again decreased primarily due to planned reductions in production as the Company better matches dealer inventory with retail demand.  PG&A sales decreases during the first six months of fiscal 2010 were primarily related to declining ATV and snowmobile retail sales.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, cost of sales decreased 23.0% to $121.1 million from $157.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009.  Fiscal 2010 snowmobile and ATV unit cost of sales decreased 23.3% to $103.8 million from $135.2 million due to a 19% decrease in net sales from units during the quarter compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009.  The second quarter of fiscal 2010 cost of sales for PG&A decreased to $17.3 million compared to $22.0 million for fiscal 2009 in line with decreased sales.  During the first six months of fiscal 2010 cost of sales decreased 23.2% to $182.9 million from $238.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2009.  Fiscal 2010 snowmobile and ATV unit cost of sales for the first six months decreased 24.7% to $154.1 million from $204.7 million due to a 24% decrease in net sales from units during the period compared to the same period of fiscal 2009.  The first six months of fiscal 2010 cost of sales for PG&A decreased to $28.8 million compared to $33.5 million for fiscal 2009, in line with decreased sales.

Gross profit decreased 4.1% to $45.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 from $47.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The gross profit percentage for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 increased to 27.2% versus 23.1% in 2009.  Gross profit decreased 12% to $52.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2010 from $60.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2009. The gross profit percentage for the first six months of fiscal 2009 increased to 22.4% versus 20.1% in 2009. The increase in the quarterly and year-to-date 2010 gross profit percentages were primarily due to higher margins for all product lines as a result of product cost reductions, price increases, favorable currency exchange rates, rescaled production activities and lower snowmobile sales incentives.

Selling and Marketing expenses decreased 29% to $9.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 from $13.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, primarily due to lower advertising expenses.  Research and Development expenses decreased 29% to $3.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $4.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 due primarily to lower compensation and development expenses.  General and Administrative expenses increased 20% to $10.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 from $8.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 due primarily to increased operating costs of the Company’s European subsidiary and increased Canadian hedge costs.  Selling and Marketing expenses decreased 28% to $16.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2010 from $22.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2009, primarily due to lower advertising expenses.  Research and Development expenses decreased 31% to $6.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2010 compared to $8.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2009 due primarily to lower compensation and development expenses.  General and Administrative expenses increased 6% to $17.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2010 from $16.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2009, primarily due to increased Canadian hedge costs.

 

Other Income / Expense

 

The Company had no interest income in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $27,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Interest expense decreased to $175,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 from $414,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.   Interest income decreased to $4,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2010 from $99,000 in the same period of fiscal 2009. Interest expense decreased to $247,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2010 from $618,000 in the same period of fiscal 2009. Interest income was primarily affected by the lower cash levels at the beginning of the fiscal year compared to last year.  Interest expense was affected by lower borrowing levels in the first six months of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period of fiscal 2009, primarily due to reduced inventory levels in the first six months of fiscal 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The seasonality of the Company’s snowmobile production cycle and the lead time between the commencement of snowmobile and ATV production in the spring and commencement of shipments late in the first quarter have resulted in significant fluctuations in the Company’s working capital requirements. Historically, the Company has financed its working capital requirements out of available cash balances at the beginning and end of the production cycle and with short-term bank borrowings during the middle of the cycle. The Company’s cash balances traditionally peak early in the fourth quarter and then decrease as working capital requirements increase when the Company’s snowmobile and ATV production cycles begin in the spring.  The increase in the Company’s inventory and receivable balances as of September 30, 2009 compared to March 31, 2009 is due to the seasonality of the Company’s snowmobile and ATV business.  Inventory was $133.6 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $172.3 at September 30, 2008 due primarily to decreased ATV unit inventories.  Inventory was $120.8 million on March 31, 2009.  Accounts receivable was $68.3 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $78.6 million at September 30, 2008.  The decrease in accounts receivable is due to decreased ATV and snowmobile sales.  The accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2009 was $ 38.2 million.  During the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no repurchases of its common shares.  Cash and short-term investments were $11,160,000 and $3,733,000 at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company’s investment objectives are first, safety of principal and second, rate of return.

 

The Company believes that the cash generated from operations and the available line of credit will be sufficient to meet its working capital, and capital expenditure requirements on a short and long-term basis.  Additionally, to preserve cash for operations, on January 29, 2009, the Board of Directors voted to suspend regular quarterly cash dividends on its common stock. The Board of Directors’ decision to suspend the dividend will conserve more than $5 million in cash annually, and the Company believes such decision is prudent, given the current slowdown in our industry, the Company’s anticipated near-term earnings and the general macroeconomic conditions.

The Company has operated this year under a secured credit agreement with a bank for the issuance of up to $60,000,000 of documentary and stand-by letters of credit and for working capital.  The scheduled decreases in the working capital borrowing limits are in line with the Company’s bank line needs (see Note F).  This agreement will expire March 31, 2010, by which time the Company expects to have a new credit facility in place.  The Company was in compliance with the terms of credit agreement as of September 30, 2009.

 

Dealer Floorplan Financing

 

The Company announced on October 20, 2009 that it has entered into an agreement for GE Capital, Commercial Distribution Finance to become the exclusive provider of floorplan financing for the Company’s U.S. dealers. The new multi-year financing program will replace the Company’s current financing agreement with Textron Financial Corporation, which had previously announced its intent to exit the dealer floorplan business. The new financing program is expected to begin December 1, 2009.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

See the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009 for a discussion of its critical accounting policies.

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic No. 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”), that requires interim reporting period disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments, effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of ASC 825.  Due to their nature, the carrying value of cash, receivables, payables and debt obligations approximates fair value.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic No. 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”), that incorporates guidance into accounting literature that was previously addressed only in auditing standards.  The statement refers to subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the balance-sheet date as “recognized subsequent events.”  Subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that arose after the balance-sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements are referred to as “non-recognized subsequent events.”  It also requires companies to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether this date is the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. ASC 855 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company has adopted this new standard.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”), that replaces FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  ASC 105 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The Company adopted the new Codification when referring to GAAP in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ending September 30, 2009.  This did not have an impact on the consolidated results of the Company.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued ASC Topic No. 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), which requires increased disclosure about the Company’s strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments; the location and amounts of derivative instruments in the Company’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under ASC 815, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the Company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Certain disclosures are also required with respect to derivative features that are credit-risk related.  ASC 815 became effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009 on a prospective basis.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC Topic No. 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), that establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquired Company and the goodwill acquired.  SFAS 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  ASC 805 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of ASC 805 did not have any significant impact on the Company’s accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis beginning in the period it was adopted.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for certain forward-looking statements.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance.  These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated.  The words “aim,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” and other expressions that indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements.  Actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to: product mix and volume; competitive pressure on sales, pricing and sales incentives; increase in material or production cost which cannot be recouped in product pricing; changes in the sourcing of engines from Suzuki; interruption of dealer floorplan financing; warranty expenses and product recalls; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; product liability claims and other legal proceedings in excess of reserves or insured amounts; environmental and product safety regulatory activity; effects of the weather; general economic conditions and political changes, interest rate changes and consumer demand and confidence. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

The Company is subject to certain market risks relating to changes in inflation, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These market risks have not changed significantly since March 31, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had no Japanese Yen denominated cash flow hedges.

 

Information regarding inflation, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, is discussed within “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk – Inflation, Foreign Exchange Rates and Interest Rates” and Footnote A to the Financial Statements in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Interest rate market risk is managed for cash and short-term investments by investing in a diversified frequently maturing portfolio consisting of municipal bonds and money market funds that experience minimal volatility and is not deemed to be significant.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

 

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
