CASEY'S GENERAL STORES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO (UNAUDITED) CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 2. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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, it is suggested that these interim consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of January 31, 2001, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2001 and 2000, and changes in cash flows for the nine months ended January 31, 2001 and 2000. 3. The Company's financial condition and results of operations are affected by a variety of factors and business influences, certain of which are described in the Cautionary Statement Relating to Forward-Looking Statements filed as Exhibit 99 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1997. These interim consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with that Cautionary Statement. -7-
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial ------------------------------------------------- Condition and Results of Operations. ----------------------------------- Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Dollars in Thousands) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Casey's derives its revenue from the retail sale of food (including freshly prepared foods such as pizza, donuts and sandwiches), beverages and non-food products such as health and beauty aids, tobacco products, automotive products and gasoline by Company stores and from the wholesale sale of certain grocery and general merchandise items and gasoline to franchised stores. The Company also generates revenues from continuing monthly royalties based on sales by franchised stores, sign and facade rental fees and the provision of certain maintenance, transportation and construction services to the Company's franchisees. A typical store is generally not profitable for its first year of operation due to start-up costs and will usually attain representative levels of sales and profits during its third year of operation. Due to the nature of the Company's business, most sales are for cash, and cash provided by operations is the Company's primary source of liquidity. The Company finances its inventory purchases primarily from normal trade credit aided by the relatively rapid turnover of inventory. This turnover allows the Company to conduct its operations without large amounts of cash and working capital. As of January 31, 2001, the Company's ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.09 to 1. The ratio at January 31, 2000 and April 30, 2000 was .68 to 1 and .53 to 1, respectively. Management believes that the Company's current bank lines of credit, together with cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy the working capital needs of its business. Net cash provided by operations decreased $24,148 (38.3%) in the nine months ended January 31, 2001 from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily as a result of a larger increase in inventories and a decrease in accounts payable. Cash flows from investing in the nine months ended January 31, 2001 decreased, primarily as a result of an increased purchase of investments. However, this result was partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures. Cash flows from financing increased primarily due to the proceeds from the long- term debt exceeding the net paydown of the short-term debt and because there was no repurchase of the Company's Common Stock during the nine months ended January 31, 2001. Capital expenditures represent the single largest use of Company funds. Management believes that by reinvesting in Company stores, the Company will be better able to respond to competitive challenges and increase operating efficiencies. During the -8-
first nine months of fiscal 2001, the Company expended $65,729 for property and equipment, primarily for the construction, acquisition and remodeling of Company stores, compared to $83,486 for the comparable period in the prior year. The Company anticipates expending approximately $90,000 in fiscal 2001 for construction, acquisition and remodeling of Company stores, primarily from funds generated by operations, existing cash and short-term investments and bank lines of credit. As of January 31, 2001, the Company had long-term debt of $184,846, consisting of $9,000 in principal amount of 7.70% Senior Notes , $30,000 in principal amount of 7.38% Senior Notes, $7,200 in principal amount of 6.55% Senior Notes, $50,000 in principal amount of Senior Notes, Series A through Series F, with interest rates ranging from 6.18% to 7.23%, $80,000 in principal amount of 7.89% Senior Notes, Series A, $6,000 of mortgage notes payable, and $2,646 of capital lease obligations. Interest on the 7.70% Notes is payable on the 15th day of each month at the rate of 7.70% per annum. Principal of the 7.70% Notes matures in forty quarterly installments beginning March 15, 1995. The Company may prepay the 7.70% Notes in whole or in part at any time in an amount of not less than $1,000 or integral multiples of $100 in excess thereof at a redemption price calculated in accordance with the Note Agreement dated as of February 1, 1993 between the Company and the purchasers of the 7.70% Notes. Interest on the 7.38% Notes is payable semi-annually on the twenty-eighth day of June and December in each year, commencing June 28, 1996, and at maturity, at the rate of 7.38% per annum. The 7.38% Notes mature on December 28, 2020, with prepayments of principal commencing December 28, 2010 and ending June 28, 2020, inclusive, with the remaining principal payable at maturity on December 28, 2020. The Company may prepay the 7.38% Notes in whole or in part at any time in an amount of not less than $1,000 or in integral multiples of $100 in excess thereof at a redemption price calculated in accordance with the Note Agreement dated as of December 1, 1995 between the Company and the purchaser of the 7.38% Notes. Interest on the 6.55% Notes is payable quarterly on the 18th day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing March 18, 1998, and at maturity, at the rate of 6.55% per annum. Principal of the 6.55% Notes matures in five annual installments commencing December 18, 1999. The Company may prepay the 6.55% Notes in whole or in part at any time in an amount of not less than $1,000 or integral multiples of $100 in excess thereof at a redemption price calculated in accordance with the Note Agreement dated as of December 1, 1997 between the Company and the -9-
purchasers of the 6.55% Notes. Interest on the 6.18% to 7.23% Senior Notes, Series A through Series F, is payable on the 23rd day of each April and October. Principal of the 6.18% to 7.23% Senior Notes, Series A through Series F, matures in various installments beginning April 23, 2004. The Company may prepay the 6.18% to 7.23% Senior Notes, Series A through Series F, in whole or in part at any time in an amount of not less than $1,000 or integral multiples of $100 in excess thereof at a redemption price calculated in accordance with the Note Agreement dated as of April 15, 1999 between the Company and the purchasers of the 6.18% to 7.23% Senior Notes, Series A through Series F. Interest on the 7.89% Senior Notes, Series A, is payable semi-annually on the 15th day of May and November in each year, commencing November 15, 2000, and at maturity, at the rate of 7.89% per annum. The 7.89% Senior Notes mature on May 15, 2010, with prepayments of principal commencing on May 15, 2004 and on each May 15 thereafter to and including May 15, 2009, with the remaining principal payable at maturity on May 15, 2010. The Company may prepay the 7.89% Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time in an amount not less than $2,000 in the case of a partial prepayment at a redemption price calculated in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 1, 2000 between the Company and the purchasers of the 7.89% Senior Notes. To date, the Company has funded capital expenditures primarily from the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock, issuance of 6-1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (which were converted into shares of Common Stock in 1994), the above-described Senior Notes, a mortgage note, and through funds generated from operations. Future capital needs required to finance operations, improvements and the anticipated growth in the number of Company stores are expected to be met from cash generated by operations, existing cash, investments and additional long-term debt or other securities as circumstances may dictate, and are not expected to adversely affect liquidity. The United States Environmental Protection Agency and several states, including Iowa, have established requirements for owners and operators of underground gasoline storage tanks (USTs) with regard to (i) maintenance of leak detection, corrosion protection and overfill/spill protection systems; (ii) upgrade of existing tanks; (iii) actions required in the event of a detected leak; (iv) prevention of leakage through tank closings; and (v) required gasoline inventory recordkeeping. Since 1984, new Company stores have been equipped with non-corroding fiberglass USTs, including many with double-wall construction, over-fill protection and electronic tank monitoring, and the Company has an active inspection and renovation program with respect to its older USTs. The -10-
Company currently has 2,424 USTs, of which 2,084 are fiberglass and 340 are steel. Management believes that its existing gasoline procedures and planned capital expenditures will continue to keep the Company in substantial compliance with all current federal and state UST regulations. Several of the states in which the Company does business have trust fund programs with provisions for sharing or reimbursing corrective action or remediation costs incurred by UST owners, including the Company. The extent of available coverage or reimbursement under such programs for costs incurred by the Company is not fully known at this time. In each of the years ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company spent approximately $447 and $516, respectively, for assessments and remediation. During the nine months ended January 31, 2001, the Company expended approximately $689 for such purposes. Substantially all of these expenditures have been submitted for reimbursement from state-sponsored trust fund programs and as of January 31, 2001, approximately $5,000 has been received from such programs. Such amounts are typically subject to statutory provisions requiring repayment of the reimbursed funds for non-compliance with upgrade provisions or other applicable laws. The Company has accrued a liability at January 31, 2001 of approximately $200 for estimated expenses related to anticipated corrective actions or remediation efforts, including relevant legal and consulting costs. Management believes the Company has no material joint and several environmental liability with other parties. Three Months Ended January 31, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended January -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 31, 2000 (Dollars and Amounts in Thousands) - ------------------------------------------- Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2001 increased by $34,975 (8.7%) over the comparable period in fiscal 2000. Retail gasoline sales increased by $33,759 (14.6%) as the number of gallons sold decreased by 6,710 (3.4%) while the average retail price per gallon increased 18.7%. During this same period, retail sales of grocery and general merchandise increased by $5,853 (4.0%) due to the addition of 81 new Company Stores and a greater number of stores in operation for at least three years. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 80.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to 81.3% for the comparable period in the prior year. The gross profit margins on retail gasoline sales increased (to 8.2%) during the third quarter of fiscal 2001 from the third quarter of the prior year (7.2%) due to the gross profit margin per gallon increasing (to $.1152) from the comparable period in the prior year ($.0861). The gross profits on retail sales of grocery -11-
and general merchandise also increased (to 39.1%) from the comparable period in the prior year (37.2%), primarily due to the increase in the retail prices of selective products. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 14.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 13.9% for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was caused primarily by increases in wages, utilities, bank charges, and snow removal costs. Net income decreased by $1,226 (23.5%). The decrease in net income was attributable primarily to the increase in the operating expenses and a decrease in the number of gallons of gasoline sold. Nine Months Ended January 31, 2001 Compared to Nine Months Ended January ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 31, 2000 (Dollars and Amounts in Thousands) - ------------------------------------------- Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 increased by $259,628 (21.6%) over the comparable period in fiscal 2000. Retail gasoline sales increased by $217,132 (32.6%) as the number of gallons sold increased by 15,527 (2.6%) and the average retail price per gallon increased 29.2%. During this same period, retail sales of grocery and general merchandise increased by $48,235 (10.4%) due to the addition of 81 new Company stores and a greater number of stores in operation for at least three years. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 80.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 compared to 79.6% for the comparable period in the prior year due to total sales consisting of a larger percentage of retail gasoline sales (60.5%) than the comparable period in the prior year (55.4%). This result occurred while the gross profit margins on retail gasoline sales remained constant (8.3%) during the first nine months of fiscal 2001 with the comparable period in the prior year (8.3%) and while the gross profit margin per gallon increased (to $.1214) from the comparable period in the prior year ($.0946). The gross profits on retail sales of grocery and general merchandise also increased (to 39.2%) from the comparable period in the prior year (38.3%), primarily due to the increase in the retail prices of selective products. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 13.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 compared to 13.5% for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was caused primarily by an increase in the average retail price per gallon of gasoline sold. -12-
Net income increased by $1,014 (3.1%). The increase in net income was attributable primarily to the increase in the gross profit margins on retail gasoline sales and the increase in the gross profit margins on retail sales of grocery and general merchandise. Cautionary Statement -------------------- The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including (i) any statements regarding future sales and gross profit percentages, (ii) any statements regarding the continuation of historical trends and (iii) any statements regarding the sufficiency of the Company's cash balances and cash generated from operations and financing activities for the Company's future liquidity and capital resource needs. The Company cautions that these statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitations, the factors described in the Cautionary Statement Relating to Forward-Looking Statements included as Exhibit 99 to the Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1997. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. ---------------------------------------------------------- The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its investment portfolio and long-term debt obligations. The Company places its investments with high quality credit issuers and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. As stated in its policy, the Company's first priority is to reduce the risk of principal loss. Consequently, the Company seeks to preserve its invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. The Company mitigates default risk by investing in only high quality credit securities that it believes to be low risk and by positioning its portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. At January 31, 2001, the Company had no derivative instruments, but management is aware of the provisions of SFAS No. 133 (as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138) establishing accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. -13-
The Company believes that an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates affecting the Company's floating and fixed rate financial instruments as of January 1, 2001 would have an immaterial effect on the Company's pretax earnings and on the fair value of those instruments. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION --------------------------- Item 1. Legal Proceedings. ----------------- The Company from time to time is a party to legal proceedings arising from the conduct of its business operations, including proceedings relating to personal injury and employment claims, environmental remediation activities or contamination-related claims, disputes under franchise agreements and claims by state and federal regulatory authorities relating to the sale of products pursuant to state or federal licenses or permits. Management does not believe that the potential liability of the Company with respect to such proceedings pending as of the date of this Form 10-Q is material in the aggregate. Item 6.
