Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Sun Hydraulics Corporation is a leading designer and manufacturer of
high-performance screw-in hydraulic cartridge valves and manifolds, which
control force, speed and motion as integral components in fluid power systems.
The Company sells its products globally, primarily though independent
distributors. Approximately 66% of product sales are used by the mobile market,
characterized by applications where the equipment is not fixed in place, the
operating environment is often unpredictable, and duty cycles are generally
moderate to low. The remaining 34% of sales are used by industrial markets,
which are characterized by equipment that is fixed in place, typically in a
controlled environment, with higher pressures and duty cycles. The Company sells
to both markets with a single product line. In 1999, the Company generated
approximately 37% of its net sales outside of the United States.
Consolidated orders for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
increased $1.0 million, or 5.9%, to $17.6 million compared to the three months
ended October 2, 1999. However, domestic orders decreased $0.8 million, or 7.5%,
over that same time frame. Compared to the previous quarter, orders for the
three months ended September 30, 2000, decreased $2.7 million, or 13.4%.
Domestic orders decreased 20.2% over the same time frame, accounting for $2.5
million of the $2.7 million decrease. Management believes that the order
decrease is reflective of a general slowdown in manufacturing activity in the
United States. The United States National Fluid Power Association (NFPA)
reported a 1.5% decrease in total hydraulic orders for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the same three months of 1999.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, consolidated orders
increased $10.0 million, or 20.3%, to $59.5 million, compared to the nine months
ended October 2, 1999. In the first nine months of 2000, domestic orders
increased 15.1% compared to the same time period in 1999. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, NFPA reported a 6.5% increase in total hydraulic
orders compared to the same period in 1999.
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000, decreased $1.9
million, or 8.8%, compared to the previous quarter. While management does not
believe that the aforementioned manufacturing slowdown is either severe or long
term, fourth quarter net sales are estimated to be 15% less than the third
quarter.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND OCTOBER 2, 1999
Net sales increased $2.3 million, or 13.1%, to $20.0 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared to the quarter ended October 2, 1999.
Net sales in the United States operations increased $0.9 million, or 7.2%,
despite a decrease in orders of $0.8, or 6.4%. This
11
7.2% sales increase was primarily due to increased production output. Net sales
in the United Kingdom, German and Korean operations increased $1.4 million, or
28.0%, on strong demand.
Gross profit increased $1.0 million, or 22.7%, to $5.5 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared to the quarter ended October 2, 1999.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 27.6% compared to 25.4%
for the third quarter of 1999. This increase was due to overall higher net sales
and reduced prime manufacturing costs as a percentage of net sales in the United
States operations, offset by a $0.3 million, or 10.2%, increase in total company
manufacturing overhead.
Selling, engineering and administrative expenses increased 14.7%, or
$0.5 million, to $3.6 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared
to $3.2 million in the quarter ended October 2, 1999. This increase was due
primarily to increased spending levels for product catalogues, support and
enhancements to new software systems, consulting fees and an additional charge
for warranty expense.
Interest expense was $0.3 million for the quarter ended September 30,
2000, compared to $0.3 million for the quarter ended October 2, 1999. This
reflects a higher average interest rate on lower debt.
Other expenses decreased to less than $0.1 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000, compared to $0.2 last year and consisted primarily of
foreign currency exchange losses offset by interest income.
The provision for income taxes for the quarter ended September 30,
2000, was 34.0% of pretax income, compared to 34.0% for the quarter ended
October 2, 1999.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2000, was $1.0
million, compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended October 2, 1999.
COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND OCTOBER 2, 1999
Net sales increased $9.9 million, or 19.0%, to $62.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the nine months ended October
2, 1999. This increase was due to an increase in demand across all business
segments and improved manufacturing productivity in the United States
operations. Also, net sales in the nine months ended October 2, 1999, were
adversely affected by reduced production output in the United States operations
related to problems with a new manufacturing system implementation.
Gross profit increased $4.9 million, or 40.7%, to $16.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the nine months ended October
2, 1999. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 27.1%, compared
to 23.0% for the first nine months of 1999. This percentage increase was due to
substantially higher total net sales in 2000 and an unusually low gross profit
percentage in the nine months ended October 2, 1999, related to problems
implementing a new manufacturing system in the United States operations. Also,
in the nine months ended September 30, 2000, prime manufacturing costs in the
United States operations
12
were lower as a percentage of net sales than the nine months ended October 2,
1999, primarily due to reduced costs of purchased parts and improved
productivity in the current year. Manufacturing overhead expenses in the United
States increased $0.9 million, or 9.4%, in the nine months ended September 30,
2000, compared to the same period last year. Depreciation expense accounted for
$0.5 million of the $0.9 million increase.
Selling, engineering and administrative expenses increased 16.2%, or
$1.5 million, to $10.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
compared to $9.3 million in the nine months ended October 2, 1999. Major
contributors to this increase were higher spending levels for product catalogues
and for support and enhancements to new software systems installed last year.
Interest expense was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2000, compared to $0.7 million for the nine months ended October 2, 1999.
This increase was due to increased interest rates on both lines of credit in the
United States, which vary in relation to the United States prime rate.
The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30,
2000, was 33.6% of pretax income, compared to 31.0% of pretax income for the
nine months ended October 2, 1999. The change in rate was primarily due to the
mix in pretax income in the operating business segments.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, was $3.3
million compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended October 2, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, the Company's primary source of capital has been cash
generated from operations, although fluctuations in working capital requirements
have been met through borrowings under revolving lines of credit. The Company's
principal uses of cash have been to pay operating expenses, make capital
expenditures, pay dividends to shareholders, and service debt.
Cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
increased $4.2 million to $7.5 million compared to $3.3 million for the nine
months ended October 2, 1999. This increase was due to higher net income and
depreciation. Capital expenditures, consisting primarily of purchases of
machinery and equipment, were $3.5 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2000, compared to $5.5 million for the nine months ended October 2, 1999.
The Company has three revolving lines of credit: one in the United
States, one in England, and one in Germany. None of these arrangements contain
pre-payment penalties. For an analysis of Company debt, see Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company has notes payable to five former shareholders that bear
interest at a weighted rate of 15% and have terms expiring in one to four years.
These notes were issued by the Company in 1989 and 1990, in connection with the
repurchase of shares of common stock from former shareholders and do not allow
for prepayment by the Company. At September 30, 2000, $0.2 million was
outstanding under these notes.
13
The Company believes that cash generated from operations and its
borrowing availability under its revolving lines of credit will be sufficient to
satisfy the Company's operating expenses and capital expenditures for the
foreseeable future.
The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.04 per share to
shareholders of record on September 30, 2000, which was paid on October 15,
2000.
SEASONALITY AND INFLATION
The Company generally has experienced reduced activity during the
fourth quarter of the year, largely as a result of fewer working days due to
holiday shutdowns. The Company does not believe that inflation had a material
effect on its operations for the periods ended September 30, 2000, and October
2, 1999. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's business will
not be affected by inflation in the future.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on
borrowed funds, which could affect its results of operations and financial
condition. At September 30, 2000, the Company had approximately $5.6 million in
variable-rate debt outstanding and, as such, the market risk is immaterial based
upon a 10% increase or decrease in interest rates. The Company manages this risk
by selecting debt financing at its U.S. bank lender's prime rate less 1%, or the
LIBOR rate plus 1.9%, whichever is the most advantageous.
EURO
In January 2000 the German Operation adopted the Euro as its primary
currency. The Company presently believes that, with remediation measures, any
material risks associated with the Euro Conversion can be mitigated.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain oral statements made by management from time to time and
certain statements contained herein that are not historical facts are
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and, because such statements involve risks and
uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements,
including those in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations are statements regarding the intent, belief or current
expectations, estimates or projections of the Company, its Directors or its
Officers about the Company and the industry in which it operates, and
assumptions made by management, and include among other items, (i) the Company's
strategies regarding growth, including its intention to develop new products;
(ii) the Company's financing plans; (iii) trends affecting the Company's
financial condition or results of operations; (iv) the Company's ability to
continue to control costs and to meet its liquidity and other financing needs;
(v) the declaration and payment of dividends; and (vi) the Company's ability to
respond to changes in customer demand domestically and internationally,
including as a result of standardization. Although the Company believes that its
expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that
the anticipated results will occur.
Important factors that could cause the actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among other
items, (i) the economic cyclicality of the capital goods industry in general and
the hydraulic valve and manifold industry in particular, which directly affect
customer orders, lead times and sales volume; (ii) conditions in the capital
markets, including the interest rate environment and the availability of
capital; (iii) changes in the competitive marketplace that could affect the
Company's revenue and/or cost bases, such as increased competition, lack of
qualified engineering, marketing, management or other personnel, and increased
labor and raw materials costs; (iv) changes in technology or customer
requirements, such as standardization of the cavity into which screw-in
cartridge valves must fit, which could render the Company's products or
technologies noncompetitive or obsolete; (v) new product introductions, product
sales mix and the geographic mix of sales nationally and internationally; and
(vi) changes relating to the Company's international sales, including changes in
regulatory requirements or tariffs, trade or currency restrictions, fluctuations
in exchange rates, and tax and collection issues. Further information relating
to factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated is
included but not limited to information under the headings "Business", including
under the subheading "Business Risk Factors" in the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended January 1, 2000, and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Conditions and Results of Operations" in this Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000. The Company disclaims any intention or
obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.
