Revenues
General. Revenues include retail sales by Company-owned stores, royalties and
fees from domestic and international franchise stores, and sales of food,
equipment and supplies by our distribution centers to domestic and international
franchise stores.
Total revenues decreased 4.3% to $277.1 million in the third quarter of 2002,
from $289.5 million for the comparable period in 2001, and increased 2.1% to
$879.2 million for the first three quarters of 2002, from $860.8 million for the
comparable period in 2001. These changes in total revenues were primarily driven
by increases in domestic store and international revenues, offset in part by
decreases in domestic distribution revenues. These results are more fully
described below.
Domestic Stores
Domestic Corporate Stores. Revenues from domestic corporate store operations
increased 4.8% to $84.4 million in the third quarter of 2002, from $80.6 million
for the comparable period in 2001, and increased 3.8% to $262.8 million for the
first three quarters of 2002, from $253.3 million for the comparable period in
2001.
This increase in revenues in the third quarter of 2002 is due primarily to an
increase in the average number of domestic Company-owned stores open during
2002, due in part to the Arizona acquisition completed during the first quarter
of 2002, offset in part by a decrease in same store sales. Same store sales for
domestic Company-owned stores decreased 1.4% in the third quarter of 2002,
compared to the same period in 2001.
This increase in revenues for the first three quarters of 2002 is due primarily
to an increase in same store sales. Same store sales for domestic Company-owned
stores increased 1.8% for the first three quarters of 2002, compared to the same
period in 2001.
Domestic Franchise. Revenues from domestic franchise operations increased 0.8%
to $30.6 million in the third quarter of 2002, from $30.4 million for the
comparable period in 2001, and increased 6.8% to $97.2 million for the first
three quarters of 2002, from $91.0 million for the comparable period in 2001.
8
This increase in revenues for the first three quarters of 2002 is due primarily
to an increase in same store sales offset in part by a decrease in the average
number of domestic franchise stores open during 2002, due in part to the Arizona
acquisition. Same store sales for domestic franchise stores increased 4.1% for
the first three quarters of 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. Same
store sales for domestic franchise stores decreased 0.4% in the third quarter of
2002, compared to the same period in 2001.
Domestic Distribution
Revenues from domestic distribution operations decreased 12.0% to $143.6 million
in the third quarter of 2002, from $163.2 million for the comparable period in
2001, and decreased 1.3% to $464.1 million for the first three quarters of 2002,
from $470.1 million for the comparable period in 2001.
These decreases in revenues are due primarily to a market decrease in overall
food basket prices, including lower cheese prices, in the third quarter and
first three quarters of 2002. The decrease in revenues for the first three
quarters of 2002 was offset in part by an increase in volumes resulting from
increases in domestic franchise same store sales. The average cheese block price
decreased to approximately $1.12 per pound and $1.20 per pound in the third
quarter and first three quarters of 2002, respectively, from approximately $1.67
per pound and $1.42 per pound for the comparable periods in 2001.
International
Revenues from international operations increased 20.1% to $18.4 million in the
third quarter of 2002, from $15.3 million for the comparable period in 2001, and
increased 18.6% to $55.1 million in the first three quarters of 2002, from $46.4
million for the comparable period in 2001.
These increases in revenues are due primarily to increases resulting from the
acquisition of the Netherlands franchise operations in the fourth quarter of
2001, as well as increases in same store sales and in the average number of
international stores open during 2002. On a constant dollar basis, same store
sales increased 4.0% and 4.1% for the third quarter and first three quarters of
2002, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2001. On a historical dollar
basis, same store sales increased 4.3% and 2.8% for the third quarter and first
three quarters of 2002, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2001. The
third quarter figures indicate that the U.S. Dollar was generally weaker against
the currencies of those countries in which we compete.
Operating Expenses
Cost of sales decreased 7.0% to $203.5 million in the third quarter of 2002,
from $218.8 million for the comparable period in 2001, and increased 0.2% to
$644.6 million for the first three quarters of 2002, from $643.0 million for the
comparable period in 2001. Gross profit increased 4.2% to $73.6 million in the
third quarter of 2002, from $70.6 million for the comparable period in 2001, and
increased 7.7% to $234.6 million for the first three quarters of 2002, from
$217.8 million for the comparable period in 2001. As a percentage of total
revenues, gross profit increased 2.2% to 26.6% in the third quarter of 2002,
from 24.4% for the comparable period in 2001, and increased 1.4% to 26.7% for
the first three quarters of 2002, from 25.3% for the comparable period in 2001.
The increase in gross profit for the third quarter of 2002 is due primarily to a
decrease in food basket costs, including lower cheese costs, at our
Company-owned stores. The increase in gross profit was offset in part by a
Company-wide increase in insurance costs and same store sales declines at our
domestic stores.
The increase in gross profit for the first three quarters of 2002 is due
primarily to increases in domestic store revenues, primarily due to increases in
domestic Company-owned and franchise same store sales, and related increases in
distribution volumes. Additionally, the gross profit improvement was positively
impacted by a decrease in food basket costs, including lower cheese costs. The
increase in gross profit was offset in part by a Company-wide increase in
insurance and labor costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased 6.4% to $39.4 million in the third
quarter of 2002, from $42.1 million for the comparable period in 2001, and
increased 0.3% to $131.1 million for the first three quarters of 2002, from
$130.6 million for the comparable period in 2001. As a percentage of total
revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased 0.3% to 14.2% in the
third quarter of 2002, from 14.5% for the comparable period in 2001, and
decreased 0.3% to 14.9% for the first three quarters of 2002, from 15.2% for the
comparable period in 2001.
9
The decrease in total general and administrative expenses in the third quarter
of 2002 is due in part to the favorable impact of no longer amortizing goodwill
and the absence of certain covenant not-to-compete amortization expenses related
to an asset that was fully amortized by the end of 2001. Goodwill amortization
expense in the third quarter of 2001 was approximately $464,000 and the
aforementioned covenant not-to-compete amortization expense was approximately
$1.3 million in the third quarter of 2001.
The increase in total general and administrative expenses for the first three
quarters of 2002 is due primarily to the write-off of approximately $5.3 million
of certain capitalized software costs during the second quarter of 2002 offset
in part by the favorable impacts related to the aforementioned goodwill and
covenant not-to-compete amortization expenses. Goodwill amortization expense for
the first three quarters of 2001 was approximately $1.4 million and the
aforementioned covenant not-to-compete amortization expense was approximately
$3.8 million for the first three quarters of 2001.
Total revenues continued to outpace the growth of total general and
administrative expenses for the first three quarters of 2002, reflecting
management's commitment to continuous process improvements throughout the
Company.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased 7.2% to $17.1 million in the third quarter of 2002,
from $15.9 million for the comparable period in 2001, and decreased 8.1% to
$44.3 million for the first three quarters of 2002, from $48.2 million for the
comparable period in 2001. The increase in interest expense in the third quarter
of 2002 is due primarily to a $4.5 million write-off of financing fees through
interest expense related to the Company's refinancing of its senior credit
facility. The decrease in interest expense in the first three quarters of 2002
is due primarily to decreases in related variable interest rates on our senior
credit facility and reduced debt levels, offset in part by the aforementioned
financing fee write-off.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased $1.2 to $6.3 million in the third quarter
of 2002, from $5.1 million for the comparable period in 2001, and increased $6.2
million to $22.0 million for the first three quarters of 2002, from $15.8
million for the comparable period in 2001. These increases are due primarily to
increases in pre-tax income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had negative working capital of $22.2 million and cash and cash equivalents
of $5.0 million at September 8, 2002. Working capital was positively impacted
during the third quarter of 2002 as a result of a change in the Company's senior
credit facility amortization payment schedule. Historically, we have operated
with minimal positive working capital or negative working capital primarily
because our receivable collection periods and inventory turn rates are faster
than the normal payment terms on our current liabilities. In addition, our sales
are not typically seasonal, which further limits our working capital
requirements. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations
and availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We expect to
fund planned capital expenditures and debt repayments from these sources.
As of September 8, 2002, we had $610.8 million of long-term debt, of which $4.0
million was classified as a current liability. There were no borrowings under
our $100 million revolving credit facility. Letters of credit issued under the
revolving credit facility were $15.9 million. Borrowings under the revolving
credit facility are available to fund our working capital requirements, capital
expenditures and other general corporate purposes.
Cash provided by operating activities was $86.3 million and $54.5 million in the
first three quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The $31.8 million increase
is due primarily to a $12.9 million increase in net income, a $4.7 million
increase in amortization of deferred financing costs, due primarily to a $4.5
million write-off of financing fees related to the Company's refinancing of its
senior credit facility, and a $12.2 million net change in operating assets and
liabilities.
Cash used in investing activities was $59.1 million and $21.1 million in the
first three quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The $38.0 million increase
is due primarily to a $21.6 million increase in acquisitions of franchise
operations and an $11.5 million increase in capital expenditures. The increase
in acquisitions of franchise operations is due primarily to the Company's
purchase of 83 domestic franchise stores in Arizona during the first quarter of
2002.
10
Cash used in financing activities was $57.2 million and $21.6 million in the
first three quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The $35.6 million increase
is due primarily to a $387.3 million increase in repayments of long-term debt,
including repayment of $364.3 million in connection with the Company's
refinancing of its senior credit facility, a $10.2 million increase in
distributions to parent, and a $3.6 million increase in cash paid for financing
fees. These increases were offset in part by a $365.0 million increase in
proceeds from issuance of long-term debt in connection with the Company's
refinancing of its senior credit facility.
Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, we believe
that the cash generated from operations and amounts available under the
revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt service
requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next
several years. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will
generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be
available under the senior credit facilities or otherwise to enable us to
service our indebtedness, including the senior credit facilities and the Senior
Subordinated Notes, to redeem or refinance TISM's, our Parent company,
Cumulative Preferred Stock or to make anticipated capital expenditures. Our
future operating performance and our ability to service or refinance the Senior
Subordinated Notes and to service, extend or refinance the senior credit
facilities will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial,
business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this filing relating to capital spending levels
and the adequacy of our capital resources are forward-looking. Also, statements
that contain words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends,"
"estimates" or similar expressions are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Among these risks and uncertainties are competitive
factors, increases in our operating costs, ability to retain our key personnel,
our substantial leverage, ability to implement our growth and cost-saving
strategies, industry trends and general economic conditions, adequacy of
insurance coverage and other factors, all of which are described in the Form
10-K for the year ended December 30, 2001 and our other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake to publicly update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risks primarily from interest rate changes on
our variable rate debt. Management actively monitors this exposure. The Company
does not engage in speculative transactions nor does it hold or issue financial
instruments for trading purposes.
Interest Rate Derivatives
The Company may enter into interest rate swaps, collars or similar instruments
with the objective of reducing volatility relating to our borrowing costs.
During 2001, we entered into an interest rate collar and three interest rate
swap agreements to effectively convert the variable Eurodollar component of the
effective interest rate on a portion of the Company's debt to various fixed
rates over various terms. These agreements are summarized below.
During the third quarter of 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap
agreement to effectively convert the variable Eurodollar component of the
effective interest rate on a portion of the Company's debt to a fixed rate over
specified terms. This agreement is summarized below.
Total
Notional
Derivative Amount Term Rate
---------- ------ ---- ----
Interest Rate Collar $70.0 million June 2001 - June 2003 3.86% - Floor
6.00% - Ceiling
Interest Rate Swap $70.0 million June 2001 - June 2004 4.90%
Interest Rate Swap $37.5 million September 2001 - September 2003 3.645%
Interest Rate Swap $37.5 million September 2001 - September 2004 3.69%
Interest Rate Swap $75.0 million August 2002 - June 2005 3.25%
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's variable interest expense is sensitive to changes in the general
level of interest rates. As of September 8, 2002, a portion of the Company's
debt is borrowed at Eurodollar rates plus a blended margin rate of 2.5%. At
September 8, 2002, the weighted average interest rate on our $75.0 million of
variable interest debt was approximately 4.4%.
The Company had total interest expense of approximately $44.3 million in the
first three quarters of 2002. The estimated increase in interest expense from a
hypothetical 200 basis point adverse change in applicable variable interest
rates would be approximately $1.8 million.
