1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial information is submitted in response to the requirements of Form 10Q and does not purport to be financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as they do not include all disclosures which might be associated with such financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

3. ACQUISITION
On February 18, 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the share capital of Babyliss S.A. ("Babyliss") for approximately $38,000,000 which purchase price is subject to a maximum downward adjustment of approximately $4,000,000 based on the terms of the agreement. Babyliss is a manufacturer and marketer of personal care appliance products principally in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain. Through its distributors, Babyliss products are also marketed in Scandinavia and several non-European markets including North America, Africa and East Asia. In connection with this acquisition, the Company increased its bank revolving credit line by $37,500,000. This additional debt has mandatory principal repayments of $5,000,000 on December 15, 1996; $7,500,000 on December 15, 1997; $10,000,000 on each of December 15, 1998 and December 15, 1999 and $5,000,000 on March 15, 2000. The interest rate on this facility is variable and is subject to change based on the leverage and operating performance of the Company. Approximately, $5,200,000 of additional costs are expected to be incurred relating to the acquisition of Babyliss which includes the buyout of minority interest shareholders of several subsidiaries of Babyliss.
This acquisition will be accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired of approximately $25,700,000 will be amortized on a straight line basis over 30 years. The purchase price allocation is based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and is subject to adjustment as additional information becomes available.
4. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
On February 28, 1995, the Company exercised its option to purchase the portion of its Stamford, Connecticut executive office facility leased to Leandro P. Rizzuto. The Company intends to pay the option price of $4,000,000 with $1,012,000 in cash and $2,988,000 through the sale to Mr. Rizzuto of its facility in Phoenix, Arizona. The selling price of the Phoenix, Arizona facility is based on an independent appraisal. The Company will lease the Phoenix, Arizona facility from Mr. Rizzuto until the construction of its new facility in Glendale, Arizona is completed. The monthly lease payments are based on an independent appraisal. This
transaction was completed on May 11, 1995.

SALES
Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 increased by 19.1% to $113,826,000 from $95,575,000 in the comparable period of 1994. The Company's personal care appliance products accounted for approximately 83% of this increase. Foreign sales increased approximately 157% principally due to the inclusion of sales of Babyliss and REVLON products which were not sold in the first quarter of 1994. Domestic personal care appliance sales increased approximately 25% primarily due to sales of CONAIR brand hot air curling irons which were not sold in the first quarter of 1994 and increased sales of private label hair dryers. Sales of consumer electronics increased approximately 4% in the first quarter of 1995. Sales of Southwestern Bell FREEDOM PHONE products increased approximately 10% primarily due to increased unit sales of existing products. Sales of other consumer electronics products decreased by approximately 3% primarily due to lower average selling prices on corded phones which was partially offset by higher unit sales of cordless phones. Sales of CUISINART products increased approximately 16% in the first quarter of 1995 primarily due to increased sales of cookware. Sales of toiletries and professional salon products were essentially unchanged in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the first quarter of 1994.
CONAIR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GROSS MARGINS
Gross margins increased as a percentage of net sales to 33.8% in the quarter ended March 31, 1995 from 33.3% for the comparable period in 1994. This increase was primarily due to changes in the mix of the products sold by the Company, specifically a 41% increase in the sales of personal care appliance products which have relatively higher gross profit margins, compared to a 5% increase in sales of all of the Company's other products. Higher gross margins on sales of CUISINART products also contributed to the improvement in gross margins.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative expenses remained essentially unchanged as a percentage of sales at 28.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 compared to 28.7% for the comparable period in the prior year, but increased by 19.5% to $32,735,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1995 from $27,401,000 in the first quarter of 1994. The increase of $5,334,000 was primarily due to selling, general and administrative expenses of Babyliss, which were not included in expenses for the first quarter of 1994, increases in variable expenses to support the increase in sales of other products and increases in advertising and promotional expenses.
INTEREST
The Company's interest expense of $2,323,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1995 increased from $1,598,000 in the first quarter of 1994. The increase of $725,000 was primarily due to an increase in the Company's long-term debt primarily to finance the purchase of its executive office facility and the acquisition of Babyliss.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate remained essentially unchanged at 44.8% in the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to 44.1% in the corresponding 1994 quarter.
CONAIR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1995, the Company's working capital was $146,264,000 and its current ratio was 2.6 to 1. The Company's cash balance was $8,421,000 and long-term debt was $133,052,000 at March 31, 1995.
Capital expenditures during 1994 and anticipated capital expenditures during 1995 are higher than in previous years because of certain real estate acquisitions and improvements. Capital expenditures were $29,546,000 in 1994, $20,000,000 of which represents the purchase price of the Company's executive office facility in Stamford, Connecticut. Net capital expenditures for 1995 are anticipated to be approximately $17,000,000, of which approximately $7,000,000 is for the completion of the Company's warehouse and distribution facility in Glendale, Arizona and $1,012,000 is for the exercise of the Company's option to purchase lease rights in its executive office facility in Stamford, Connecticut from Leandro P. Rizzuto, which took place on May 11, 1995 as noted in Note 4
to the condensed consolidated statements.
Historically, approximately 60% of the Company's sales and 70% of its operating profit are achieved in the second half of the year. The Company relies on short-term bank debt to finance its seasonal operating needs which result in a build-up of receivables and inventory during the first nine months of each year with a substantial reduction in receivables, inventories and bank credit during the fourth quarter. As of March 31, 1995, the Company had short-term lines of credit aggregating $81,500,000, which do not include an additional $25,000,000
available for the period May 15 to November 30 to finance its
seasonal business needs. In addition, the Company had a
long-term revolving credit line of $58,500,000, of which
$20,500,000 was unutilized at March 31, 1995. This revolving
|
credit line includes an increase, in connection with the Babyliss acquisition, of $37,500,000. This additional debt has mandatory principal repayments of $5,000,000 on December 15, 1996, $7,500,000 on December 15, 1997, $10,000,000 on each of December 15, 1998 and December 15, 1999 and $5,000,000 on
March 15, 2000. The interest rate on this facility is variable and is subject to change based on the leverage and operating performance of the Company.
As a result of the Company's acquisition of Babyliss, the Company has developed a hedging program designed to hedge firm purchase commitments of goods and services denominated in foreign currencies.
Effects of Inflation
The Company believes that the relatively moderate rate of inflation over the past few years has not had a significant
impact on the Company's results of operation.
