5 6 OFFICE DEPOT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. The interim financial statements as of July 1, 1995 and for the 13 and 26 week periods ended July 1, 1995 and June 25, 1994 are unaudited; however, such interim statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1994. 2. Average common and common equivalent shares utilized in computing second quarter earnings per share include approximately 3,708,000 and 4,631,000 shares in 1995 and 1994, respectively, as a result of applying the treasury stock method to outstanding stock options. 3. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 1995 and June 25, 1994 do not include noncash financing transactions of $1,994,000 and $3,186,000, respectively, relating to additional paid-in capital associated with tax benefits of stock options exercised and $1,640,000 and $1,252,000, respectively, relating to common stock and additional paid-in capital associated with stock issued to the Office Depot Retirement Savings Plan and related to the employee stock purchase program. In addition, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 1995 and June 25, 1994 do not include noncash financing transactions of $8,145,000 and $7,787,000, respectively, associated with accreted interest on convertible, subordinated notes. 4. In June 1995, the Company amended its credit agreement with its principal bank and a syndicate of commercial banks to increase the working capital line to $300,000,000 and to modify other terms. The credit agreement provides that funds borrowed will bear interest, at the Company's option, at .3125% over the LIBOR rate, 1.75% over the Fed Funds rate, at a base rate linked to the prime rate or at a competitive bid rate. The Company also pays a fee of .1875% per annum on the total credit facility. The credit facility expires in June 2000. As of July 1, 1995 the Company had borrowed $191,430,000 under the credit facility. In addition to the credit facility, the bank has provided a lease facility to the Company under which the bank has agreed to purchase up to $25,000,000 of equipment from the Company and lease such equipment back to the Company. As of July 1, 1995, the Company had approximately $2,865,000 outstanding under this lease facility. 6 7 Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Sales increased 30% to $1,200,410,000 in the second quarter of 1995 from $924,676,000 in the second quarter of 1994; and to $2,551,622,000 for the first six months of 1995 from $1,966,072,000 for the first six months of 1994, an increase of 30%. Comparable store sales increased 18% for the second quarter and 19% for the first six months of 1995, respectively. The balance of the sales increase was attributable to the 80 new stores (net of one store closure) opened subsequent to the second quarter of 1994. The Company opened 17 stores and closed one store in the second quarter of 1995, bringing the total number of stores open at the end of the second quarter to 448 compared with 368 stores at the end of the second quarter of 1994. The Company also operated 24 contract stationer and delivery warehouses (customer service centers) at the end of both the second quarter of 1995 and 1994. Comparable store sales in the future may be affected by competition from other stores and contract stationers, the opening of additional Office Depot stores or the expansion of the Company's contract stationer business in its existing markets, and general market conditions. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 22.6% during both the second quarter and first six months of 1995, compared with 23.3% and 23.0% during the second quarter and first six months of 1994, respectively. The decrease was primarily a result of an increase in sales of lower margin business machines and computers and an increase in paper costs. These decreases were partially offset by purchasing efficiencies gained through vendor volume discount programs which increased as purchasing levels continued to increase, and by leveraging the Company's occupancy costs through higher average sales per store. Gross margins are slightly higher in the contract stationer portion of the business due to a lower percentage of business machine and computer sales. Gross margins may fluctuate in both the retail and contract stationer business as a result of competitive pricing in more market areas, continued change in sales product mix and increased occupancy costs in certain new markets. Store and warehouse operating and selling expenses as a percentage of sales were 14.9% and 15.0% in the second quarter and first six months of 1995, respectively, compared with 15.4% in each of the comparable periods in 1994. Store and warehouse operating and selling expenses consist primarily of payroll and advertising expenses. Although the majority of these expenses vary proportionately with sales, there is a fixed cost component to these expenses such that, as sales increase within a given market area, store and warehouse operating and selling expenses should decrease as a percentage of sales. This benefit may not be fully realized, however, during periods when a large number of new stores and customer service centers are being opened, as new facilities typically generate lower sales than the average mature location, resulting in higher operating and selling expenses as a percentage of sales for such new facilities. This percentage is also affected when the Company enters large metropolitan market areas where the advertising costs for the full market must be absorbed by the small number of stores initially opened. As additional stores in these large markets are opened, advertising costs, which are substantially a fixed expense for a market area, typically decrease overall as a percentage of sales. The Company has also continued 7 8 a strategy of opening additional stores in existing markets. Although increasing the number of stores increases operating income in absolute dollars, this may have the effect of increasing overall expenses as a percentage of sales, since the sales of certain existing stores in the market may initially be adversely affected. Warehouse expenses in the first six months of 1995 were adversely affected by the additional costs incurred in the integration of the contract stationer warehouses. The integration is expected to be substantially completed by early 1996. Pre-opening expenses increased to $2,912,000 in the second quarter of 1995 from $1,973,000 in the comparable period in 1994, and to $6,164,000 in the six month period ended July 1, 1995 from $3,232,000 in the comparable 1994 period. Pre-opening expenses in 1995 include the costs associated with replacing six existing customer service centers with larger, more functional facilities. Additionally, the Company added 29 stores in the first six months of 1995, as compared with 17 stores in the comparable 1994 period. Pre-opening expenses currently are approximately $125,000 per store and $500,000 for a customer service center, and are predominately incurred during a six-week period prior to the opening of the store or a twelve-week period prior to the opening of a customer service center. Pre-opening expenses may vary based on geographical area and customer base being serviced. These expenses consist principally of amounts paid for salaries, occupancy costs and supplies. Since the Company's policy is to expense these items during the period in which they occur, the amount of pre-opening expenses in each quarter is generally proportional to the number of new stores or customer service centers opened or in the process of being opened during the period. General and administrative expenses have decreased as a percentage of sales to 3.0% in the second quarter of 1994 from 3.4% in the comparable period in 1994, and to 2.9% in the first six months of 1995 from 3.1% in the comparable 1994 period. General and administrative expenses have decreased as a percentage of sales, primarily as a result of the Company's ability to increase sales without a proportionate increase in corporate expenditures. The Company's continued investment in its information systems should allow the Company to further reduce general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales. The Company incurred net interest expense of $6,812,000 and $11,631,000 in the second quarter and first six months of 1995, respectively, as compared with $3,774,000 and $7,234,000 in the comparable periods in 1994. This increase in interest expense is primarily due to funds borrowed under the Company's revolving credit agreement. 8 9 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since the Company's store sales are substantially on a cash and carry basis, cash flow generated from operating stores provides a source of liquidity to the Company. Working capital requirements are reduced by vendor credit terms, which allow the Company to finance a portion of its inventory. The Company utilizes private label credit card programs administered and financed by financial service companies; this allows the Company to expand its retail sales without the burden of additional receivables. Sales made through the customer service centers are generally made under regular commercial credit terms, where the Company carries its own receivables. As the Company expands into servicing additional large companies in the delivery portion of its business, it is expected that the Company will carry a greater amount of receivables. In the second quarter of 1995, the Company added 17 stores and closed one store, compared with 8 stores added in the comparable 1994 period. The Company also replaced two of its existing customer service centers with larger, more efficient facilities. As stores mature and become more profitable, and as the number of new stores opened in a year becomes a smaller percentage of the existing store base, cash generated from operations will provide a greater portion of funds required for new store fixed assets, inventories and other working capital requirements. Cash generated from operations will be affected by an increase in receivables carried without outside financing, and an increase in inventory at the stores and customer service centers as the Company continues to expand its sales in computers and business machines. Net cash provided (used) by operating activities was $(87,280,000) and $10,184,000 in the first six months of 1995 and 1994, respectively. Capital expenditures are also affected by the number of stores and customer service centers opened, converted or acquired each year and the increase in computer and other equipment at the corporate office required to support such expansion. Cash utilized for capital expenditures was $98,100,000 and $70,996,000 in the first six months of 1995 and 1994, respectively. During the 26 weeks ended July 1, 1995, the Company's cash balance decreased approximately $2,129,000 and long- and short-term debt increased by approximately $173,392,000. The decrease in cash (and increase in long-term debt, reflecting primarily borrowings under its working capital facility) was primarily attributable to payments for fixed assets and inventories for new stores as well as payments for inventory mix changes resulting from an increase in business machines and computer sales and a build up of paper inventory to protect against rising costs and product availability. The Company plans to open a total of approximately 40 to 50 additional stores, replace four existing customer service centers, close three customer service centers, and add two new customer service centers during the remainder of 1995. Management estimates that the Company's cash requirements, exclusive of pre-opening expenses, will be approximately $1,700,000 and $5,300,000 for each additional store and customer service center, respectively. The Company has recently amended its credit agreement with its principal bank and a syndicate of commercial banks to provide for a working capital line of $300,000,000. 9 10 The credit agreement provides that funds borrowed will bear interest, at the Company's option, at .3125% over the LIBOR rate, 1.75% over the Fed Funds rate, at a base rate linked to the prime rate or at a competitive bid rate. The Company also pays a fee of .1875% per annum on the total credit facility. The credit facility expires in June 2000. As of July 1, 1995 the Company had borrowed $191,430,000 under the credit facility. In addition to the credit facility, the bank has provided a lease facility to the Company under which the bank has agreed to purchase up to $25,000,000 of equipment from the Company and lease such equipment back to the Company. As of July 1, 1995, the Company had approximately $2,865,000 outstanding under this lease facility. The Company's management continually reviews its financing options. It is currently anticipated that the Company has the ability to finance its planned expansion through 1995 from cash on hand, funds generated from operations, equipment leased under the Company's lease facility, and funds borrowed under the Company's amended credit facility. The Company is considering and will continue to consider alternative financing opportunities including the issuance of equity, debt or convertible debt, if market conditions make such alternatives financially attractive methods of funding the Company's short-term or long-term expansion. The Company's financing requirements in the future will be affected by the number of new stores and customer service centers opened, converted or acquired and additional receivables carried by the Company. 10 11 PART II.
