THE HOME DEPOT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 increased 22% to $4,362,215,000 compared to attributable to new stores (441 at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to 359 at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1995) and a comparable store-for-store sales increase of 3%. Gross profit as a percent of sales was 28.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to 27.9% for the comparable period of fiscal 1995. The gross profit increase as a percent of sales resulted primarily from delays and changes in merchandise mix resulting from late Spring weather in many markets. Operating expenses as a percent of sales decreased to 20.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to 20.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 1995. Selling and store operating expenses as a percent of sales were 18.7% for both the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995. Pre-opening expenses as a percent of sales were 0.3% for both the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995. General and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 1.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to 1.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 1995. This decrease as a percent of sales was due to the Company's continuing focus on controlling costs. Interest income as a percent of sales was 0.1% for both the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995. Interest expense as a percent of sales was 0% for both the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995. The Company s combined Federal and state effective income tax rate increased to 39.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 from 38.4% for the comparable period of fiscal 1995. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company's combined Federal and state effective income tax rate was adjusted to 38.8% for the fiscal year. The increase in the rate for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was due to a higher effective state tax rate. Net earnings as a percent of sales increased to 4.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to 4.4% for the same period of fiscal 1995. This increase was attributable to higher gross profits and lower operating expenses partially offset by a higher effective income tax rate, as described above.
THE HOME DEPOT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash flow generated from store operations provides the Company with a significant source of liquidity. Additionally, a significant portion of the Company's inventory is financed under vendor credit terms. During the first three months of fiscal 1996, the Company opened 18 stores and relocated four existing stores. During the remainder of fiscal 1996, the Company plans to open approximately 72 additional new stores and relocate three existing stores. Of the planned 90 new stores and seven relocations, it is expected that 76 will be owned and 21 will be leased. The Company currently plans to open approximately 123 new stores, including relocations, during fiscal 1997. Although some of these locations will be leased directly, it is expected that many may be obtained through the purchase of pre-existing leasehold interests, the acquisition of land parcels and the construction or purchase of buildings during fiscal 1996. While the cost of new stores to be constructed and owned by the Company varies widely, principally due to land costs, new store costs (including land, building and fixtures) are currently estimated to average approximately $13,600,000 per location. The Company may purchase leasehold interests at varying amounts depending upon the value of such properties. The cost to remodel (including leasehold interests) and fixture stores to be leased is expected to average approximately $4,000,000 per store. In addition, each new store will require approximately $2,800,000 to finance inventories, net of vendor financing. As of April 28, 1996, the Company had $89,961,000 in cash and short-term investments and $13,831,000 in long-term investments. Management believes that its current cash position, the proceeds from short-term and long-term investments, internally generated funds, its commercial paper program, and/or the ability to obtain alternate sources of financing should enable the Company to complete its capital expenditure programs, including store expansion and renovation, through the next several fiscal years. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES Although the Company cannot accurately determine the precise effect of inflation on its operations, it does not believe inflation has had a material effect on sales or results of operations.
