Management's Discussion and Analysis

 

of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

 

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007

 

All figures in US dollars


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations (« MD & A ») should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the audited consolidated financial statements and MD & A for the year ended December 30, 2006. This MD & A is based on reported earnings in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).


The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as described in Note 2 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 30, 2006, except for the change in accounting policies noted below. The Company regularly monitors new accounting policies and reports on those adopted subsequent to the end of the most recently completed financial year. Please refer to Note 1 of the interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2007 for further information.


Quarterly reports, the annual report and supplementary information filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including the annual report on form 40F, can be found on-line at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov respectively, as well as on our corporate Web site at www.dorel.com.


Note that there have been no significant changes with regards to the “Corporate Overview”, “Operating Segments”, “Contractual Obligations”, “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”, “Derivative Financial Instruments“, “Critical Accounting Estimates” or, “Market Risks and Uncertainties” to those outlined in the Company’s 2006 annual
MD & A. As such, they are not repeated herein. The information in this MD & A is current as of August 2, 2007.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


(All tabular figures are in thousands except per share amounts)


Overview


Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $10.8 million or $0.32 per diluted share compared to $17.9 million or $0.55 per diluted share for the corresponding quarter a year ago. Revenue for the period was $459.0 million compared to $435.9 million during the second quarter last year. Six month net income decreased to $38.8 million or $1.17 per diluted share from $42.1 million or $1.28 per diluted share a year ago. Year-to-date revenue was $914.7 million, up from last year’s first half revenue of $886.9 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange and Dorel Australia, acquired in the year, organic revenues increased by 1.8% in the quarter and are flat year-to-date.


Revenue increases in the Juvenile and Recreational / Leisure segments offset declines in the Home Furnishings segment in both the second quarter and year-to-date. Juvenile segment revenues in the quarter increased by 9.6% and by 6.7% year-to-date where sales increases in Europe offset declines in North America in both the second quarter and year to date. At the end of February 2007, Dorel acquired a 55% interest in IGC (Australia) Pty Ltd, based in Melbourne, Australia. Dorel Australia, now operating as IGC Dorel Pty Ltd, four month revenues included in 2007 first half results were $10.2 million. The Recreational / Leisure segment revenues also increased in both the quarter and year-to-date, by 16.7% and 12.7 % respectively. Home Furnishing revenues in the quarter declined by 12.0% and by 10.1% year-to-date. While a portion of this decline was due to certain customers switching from a traditional “buy and sell” model to a commission structure, some large Home Furnishing customers did reduce orders in the second quarter, negatively affecting sales.


As announced earlier this year, Dorel Europe (within the Juvenile segment) is implementing significant operational changes related to its production facilities in Italy and France. Additionally, on May 17, 2007 the Company announced a plan for restructuring at Ameriwood Industries (within the Home Furnishings segment) as the Company has determined that its current ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture manufacturing footprint exceeds anticipated market needs. The plan calls for the suspension of the majority of manufacturing operations at the Dowagiac, Michigan RTA facility by mid-July. Note 3 to the June 30, 2007 interim financial statements includes complete details related to these initiatives.


As such, results for 2007 include restructuring costs for both of these initiatives. Also note that the comparative 2006 figures include restructuring costs for Ameriwood’s Wright City, Missouri plant closure that was concluded in 2006. As a result, the Company is including in this MD & A the following non-GAAP financial measures; “adjusted gross margin”, “adjusted earnings from operations”, “adjusted net income” and “adjusted earnings per share”. The Company believes this permits more meaningful comparisons of its core business performance between the periods presented. Therefore, this MD & A contains these non-GAAP financial measures which do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Contained within this MD & A are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.


Below is a reconciliation to certain of these non-GAAP financial figures

Gross margins improved by 240 basis points in the quarter and have improved by 220 basis points year-to-date. This margin improvement came from all three segments and generated an additional $15.8 million in margin dollars in the quarter and $25.8 million in margin dollars year-to-date. The Company’s selling, general and administrative (S,G & A) costs have increased in 2007 versus 2006 by $7.4 million for the quarter and $15.7 million year-to-date. Despite running at higher levels than the prior year, the increases are near plan. The major components of the increase are higher costs in Europe due to both greater sales activity and the conversion of expenses at a higher rate of exchange, the impact of the Dorel Australia acquisition and higher legal costs. Expenses associated with product liability are consistent with the prior year.


The principal changes in earnings from 2006 to 2007 are summarized as follows:

Segmented Results

Effective January 2007, the Company’s electric ride-on toy business, previously sold and serviced by DJG USA in the Juvenile segment, has been transferred to Pacific Cycle in the Recreational / Leisure segment. To allow for better year-over-year comparability, all prior year comparative segmented revenue and earnings figures have been re-stated, adding these sales and related earnings to the Recreational / Leisure segment and removing them from the Juvenile segment. As such, for the second quarter revenues of $3.0 million and earnings of $0.3 million have been re-classified. Year-to-date revenues of $7.5 million and earnings of $0.7 million have been re-classified.


Segmented figures are presented in Note 12 to these interim financial statements. Further industry segment detail is presented below:

The Juvenile segments results include restructuring costs pertaining to its European operations as described above. The restructuring that was initiated in the fourth quarter of 2006 continued into 2007 and as such the second quarter includes pre-tax restructuring charges of $3.8 million. Year-to-date, these costs total $5.9 million. Since the inception of the plan, a total of $9.9 million has been expensed out of the total expected cost of approximately $15 million. Led by another robust performance by Dorel Europe and the strong Euro, second quarter Juvenile segment revenues rose 9.6% to $233.6 million from $213.2 million last year. Year-to-date revenue generated in 2007 by the Company’s European operations comprised 48% of total segment sales, whereas the US operations contributed 42% of the total. This compares to 42% and 52% respectively for the six month period ended June 2006.


Earnings from operations were $20.0 million for the quarter. Adjusted earnings from operations increased 19.7% to $23.7 million from $19.8 million in the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange and the contribution of Dorel Australia, organic sales growth in the second quarter was 2.4%. Six month revenue was up 6.7% to $478.8 million from last year’s $448.8 million. Earnings from operations were $51.9 million for the six month period. Adjusted earnings from operations rose 16.3% to $57.7 million from $49.7 million. Excluding foreign exchange and Dorel Australia, year-to-date sales were flat with the prior year as gains in Europe and Canada were offset by lower sales at DJG USA.


Revenue at Dorel Europe increased 17.5% for the quarter and 21.0% year to date. Organic revenue growth in Europe, excluding the benefit of a stronger Euro in 2007, was 9.6% in the quarter and 12.0% year-to-date. An important contributor to the growth in Europe was sales of car seats and strollers under the Quinny and Maxi brands, with especially strong results in the United Kingdom, Germany and Eastern Europe. Revenue in North America was down 3.0% for the quarter and 7.9% year-to-date. DJG USA’s revenues declined by 7.7% in the quarter and are 13.7% behind last year’s six month sales levels. Offsetting this is Dorel Distribution Canada which had a solid second quarter. Dorel Australia, the Company’s newest division, was profitable during the quarter and management is pleased with the progress being made in selling Dorel’s complete set of brands through this division.


Gross margins in Europe have improved over 2006 levels due mainly to a more profitable product mix. The stronger Euro also had a positive effect as imported goods are purchased in U.S. dollars. This along with higher sales levels increased earnings in both the quarter and year-to-date as compared to the prior year. Combined gross margins in Canada and the United States were consistent with last year in both the second quarter and year-to-date. However, North American earnings from operations for the quarter and year-to-date are both lower than the prior year due to the lower sales volumes at the DJG USA division. Selling, general and administrative (S,G & A) expenses are higher than the prior year due mainly to higher costs in Europe due to greater sales activity and the rate of exchange used to translate these expenses to U.S. dollars. Dorel Australia has also added $1.7 million of S,G & A expenses thus far in 2007. Costs associated with product liability in 2007 for the Juvenile segment totaled $6.6 million in the second quarter and $11.1 million year-to-date, consistent with 2006 levels.

As announced in May of 2007, Ameriwood planned to suspend operations at its Dowagiac, Michigan plant, as its overall manufacturing footprint exceeds anticipated demand for domestically manufactured furniture. This occurred in July and resulted in the Company recording a second quarter pre-tax restructuring charge of $9.7 million, of which $3.7 million is grouped in cost of sales. Of the total amount, $9.5 million represents the write-down of building, equipment and inventory, a non-cash expense. The remaining $0.2 million is mainly for employee severance and will be paid out over the course of the year. The total cost of the restructuring is expected to be $11.5 million, the majority of which will be recorded in the current year.


Second quarter Home Furnishings revenue decreased 12.0% to $105.6 million from $120.1 million. The loss from operations in the quarter was $4.1 million, while adjusted earnings from operations increased 16.8% to $5.7 million from $4.9 million. Year-to-date revenues were $228.2 million, down 10.1% from last year’s $253.8 million. The year-to-date loss from operations was $1.6 million, while adjusted earnings from operations were $8.1 million, down 18.5% from the $9.9 million recorded a year ago. Included in the 2007 second quarter earnings figure is an insurance recovery of $2.2 million. This amount is the final portion of a claim settlement related to the Company’s business interruption insurance policy. The amount received was for additional production costs incurred due to a lack of board supply following a mid-2006 fire at one of the Company’s primary suppliers of particle board.


A slowdown in the U.S. housing industry has affected the Home Furnishings segment. This is illustrated by the fact that as a whole, point-of-sale (POS) figures are down at several customers. Additionally, a number of the divisions within the segment were adversely affected as two major customers attempted to lower their on-hand quantities of furniture inventory. Ameriwood and Dorel Asia were the most affected by these customers reducing their order levels in the quarter. Despite their lower sales levels, Ameriwood adjusted gross margins and earnings did improve in the second quarter and are ahead of last year for the six months ending June 30. Excluding restructuring costs and the $2.2 million insurance recovery recorded in the second quarter, earnings at Ameriwood were flat with last year, with revenues being lower by almost 10%. Due to lower revenues, Dorel Asia’s earnings were also lower in the quarter and year-to-date earnings are approximately 15% below last year.


As well, as of this year, Dorel Asia now recognizes only the revenue from commissions as opposed to the previous method of recognizing the complete sale for more of its customers, thereby reducing revenues but not affecting earnings. While Dorel Home Products (DHP) was also moderately affected by the customer inventory reductions, second quarter sales were almost 50% higher than the prior year, rebounding from a very slow first quarter. As a result year-to-date earnings are now behind last year’s by 14.4% as opposed to the first quarter shortfall of almost 70%. Despite higher sales, earnings at Cosco Home & Office were affected by a less profitable sales mix. A large proportion of lower margin items are being sold and continuing legal fees related to its on-going claim against a major international law firm have hampered earnings. Year-to-date, these legal fees total approximately $2 million. The combination of these higher costs and less profitable product mix are the principal reasons for Cosco’s six month earnings running $4.9 million behind last year’s figures.


For the segment as a whole gross margins, excluding restructuring costs grouped in cost of sales, have improved over last year. This improvement has occurred at Ameriwood where improved performance has offset the lower margins being experienced at Cosco Home & Office. Selling, general and administrative expenses rose by $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2007 versus 2006. However, as a percentage of revenues this represents an increase of 130 basis points due to lower revenue levels. Year-to-date costs have increased by $1.9 million, due mainly to higher legal costs at Cosco Home & Office. For this reason and as a result of lower sales for the segment as a whole, these costs as a percentage of revenues rose to 9.0% compared to 7.4% in 2006.

Pacific Cycle’s second quarter revenue was up 16.7% to $119.8 million from $102.6 million a year ago. Earnings from operations jumped 132.7% to $13.9 million from $6.0 million. For the six months, revenue totaled $207.7 million, up 12.7% from $184.3 million, while earnings from operations rose 57.6% to $21.1 million, compared to $13.4 million last year. The segment has broadened its product line in 2007, but the majority of the revenue growth in 2007 is due to improved bicycle sales to both new and existing customers. Sales to the independent bicycle dealer network increased over the second quarter last year. Response to the new Schwinn electric bike, first shipped earlier this year, has been better than expected. Sales of motor scooters are progressing with the dealer network now numbering around 350 on the way to a forecast of 500 for the year. The ride-on category, formerly with Juvenile, is being revamped with a specific team dedicated to this product line.


A portion of the significant earnings improvement in 2007 is due the fact that the second quarter of 2006 included a $3.5 million pre-tax inventory reserve that was taken at that time on specific bicycle inventory. This reserve had the impact of reducing 2006 margins by 340 basis points in the quarter and 190 basis points year-to-date. Without this reserve, gross margins in 2006 for the quarter and year-to-date would have been 19.0% and 19.7% respectively. This compares to 2007 margins of 20.6% in the quarter and 20.1% year-to-date. The improvement in the current year is due principally to a better mix of product sales. Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue declined from 2006 levels despite these costs increasing in dollar terms by $0.7 million in the quarter and $0.9 million year-to-date.


Other Expenses


As a result of lower average borrowings, interest on long term debt in the second quarter of 2007 was $6.0 million, lower than the $7.5 million incurred in 2006. The Company’s year-to-date average interest rate was approximately 6.5% in both 2007 and 2006. Year-to-date corporate expenses in 2007 are $2.3 million higher than in 2006. Included in this increase are higher stock based compensation expenses in the amount of $1.0 million as well as the impact of the stronger Canadian dollar, as the majority of these expenses are incurred in Canada.


The Company’s year-to-date tax rate is 16.4%, within the expected range of 14% to 18%. The Company’s tax rate can vary widely from quarter to quarter given its multi-jurisdictional nature and the impact of changes within certain jurisdictions in a particular period. The current quarter tax rate of 35.8%, which is higher than is typical for Dorel, was principally due to the re-assessment of prior years’ taxes at certain divisions. The amount recorded in the second quarter pertaining to those assessments totaled approximately $4 million. Additionally, adjustments were made at several divisions to bring their tax rates in line with revised full year expectations. For the balance of the year, the tax rate is expected to return to less than 20%, meaning the full year rate is expected to remain in the range of 14% to 18%. In the second quarter of 2006 the Company recorded a tax recovery of $0.4 million on pre-tax earnings of $17.5 million. The recovery in 2006 was a result of lower earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions and a change in the valuation allowance of a benefit for tax losses of $1.6 million.






LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow

On February 28, 2007, the Company acquired a 55% interest in Australian company IGC (Australia) Pty Ltd (“IGC”). Operating as In Good Care, IGC is a manufacturer and distributor of juvenile products in Australia and New Zealand. The Company has paid cash consideration of $2.5 (AUD $3.2) million in return for the 55% controlling interest and refinanced IGC’s debt in the amount of $7.4 (AUD$9.4) million through its existing credit facilities. The acquisition has been recorded under the purchase method of accounting with the results of operations of the acquired business being included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The Company is presently in the process of allocating the cost of this purchase to the net assets acquired. An amount of $1.8 million has been preliminarily attributed to goodwill.


Cash flow improved over 2006 with year-to-date cash flow from operations increasing to $50.4 million, up from last year’s $44.1 million. This increase came despite lower pre-tax earnings as the majority of the restructuring costs incurred in 2007 were non-cash items. Excluding disbursements related to business acquisitions, year-to-date capital expenditures, comprising fixed assets, deferred development costs and intangible assets, total $15.6 million in 2007, consistent with 2006 spending of $13.9 million. Year-to-date free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and variations in funds held by ceding insurer, was $34.9 million compared to $30.2 million in 2006, an improvement of $4.7 million as follows:

Financing activities in 2007 includes the $7.4 million disbursed in connection with the refinancing of IGC’s debt subsequent to its acquisition. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company received $14.7 million from the issuance of capital stock upon the exercise of company stock options. Included in year-to-date investing activities in 2007 is the $2.2 million paid in reference to the investment in IGC, as described above. This amount represents the amount paid of $2.5 million, net of cash acquired. The 2006 comparative figure of $4.9 million was paid in reference to the balance of sale on the 2004 acquisition of Pacific Cycle.


On June 18, 2007 the Board of Directors of Dorel declared a quarterly dividend of twelve and one half cents ($0.125) per share on the Class A Multiple Voting Shares, Class B Subordinate Voting Shares and Deferred Share Units of the Company. Dividends were paid on July 6, 2007 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 27, 2007. The dividend amount totals $4.2 million and as it was unpaid as at June 30, 2007, the amount does not appear on the Company’s cash flow statement. This was the second dividend declared in 2007 following the Company’s initial dividend declaration on March 12, 2007 which was paid on April 23, 2007. This dividend forms part of an expected ongoing quarterly dividend policy paying $0.50 per share per annum.


Effective February 23, 2007, the Company renegotiated the terms of its unsecured revolving credit facility. This facility was extended to July 1, 2010 and provides for an annual one-year extension. The borrowing availability under this amended facility is $325.0 million and includes an accordion feature allowing the Company to have access to an additional $200.0 million on a revolving basis, if required. As at June 30, 2007, an amount of $212.0 million relating to this facility is included in long-term debt.





Balance Sheet


At the end of the period, there were no significant changes to the financial position of the Company as at December 30, 2006. The acquisition of IGC and the stronger Euro at June 30, 2007 versus December 30, 2006 does distort certain working capital balances. For a more accurate interpretation of the these changes, readers are asked to consult the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow which does not include these two sources of variation when comparing the opening and closing periods. The Company’s $55.0 million Series “A” Senior Guaranteed Notes are due in full in February 2008. As such, it has been classified as current as opposed to long-term. It is expected that this amount will be paid from the Company’s revolving bank loan facilities.


Certain of the Company’s working capital ratios are as follows:

 June 30, 2007

Dec. 30, 2006

Quick ratio

 

0.89

1.84

1.98

# of days in receivables

The days in receivables and days in inventory ratios are relatively consistent over these same periods. It should be noted that these two calculations are done using average accounts receivable and inventory balances as well as a rolling twelve month period for sales and cost of sales so as to minimize the impact of seasonal fluctuations.


As of June 30, 2007, Dorel was compliant with all covenant requirements and expects to be so going forward. The Company continuously reviews its cash management and financing strategy to optimize the use of funds and minimize its cost of borrowing.


Change in Accounting Policies


Effective as of the beginning of the 2007 fiscal year, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) under CICA Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, Section 3251, Equity, Section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, Section 3861 Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation and Section 3865, Hedges. These new Handbook Sections provide comprehensive requirements for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. Section 1530 establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income refers to items recognized in comprehensive income but that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.


Under these new standards, all financial instruments are classified into one of the following five categories: held for trading, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. All financial instruments, including derivatives, are included on the consolidated balance sheet and are initially and subsequently measured at fair value with the exception of loans and receivables, investments held-to-maturity and other financial liabilities, which are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Subsequent recognition of changes in fair value of financial instruments re-measured each reporting date at fair value depend on their initial classification. Held for trading financial investments are measured at fair value with all gains and losses are included in net income in the period in which they arise. Available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with gains and losses included in other comprehensive income until the asset is removed from the balance sheet or until impaired.


The standards require derivative instruments to be recorded as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair value unless exempted from derivative treatment as a normal purchase or sale. Certain derivatives embedded in other contracts must also be separated from the main contract and measured at fair value. All changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge criteria are met, which requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. Any derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting is marked-to-market at each reporting date and the gains or losses are included in earnings.


As a result of the adoption of these new standards, the Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents as held for trading. Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables. Bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable, long-term debt, other long-term liabilities and balance of sale payable are classified as other liabilities, all of which are measured at amortized cost. As at December 30, 2006 and June 30, 2007, all outstanding foreign exchange contracts were reported on a mark-to-market basis and the gains or losses were included in earnings as the Company elected not to follow hedge accounting for these derivatives.


Section 3855 also provides guidance on accounting for transaction costs incurred upon the issuance of debt instruments or modification of a financial liability. Except for those incurred on the revolving credit facility, transaction costs are now deducted from the financial liability and are amortized using the effective interest method over the expected life of the related liability. As a result of the application of Section 3855, unamortized financing costs of $0.3 million as at June 30, 2007 ($0.3 million – December 31, 2006), previously recorded in other assets, have been reclassified against long-term debt. The adoption of these new standards also resulted in the reclassification of amounts previously recorded in “Cumulative translation adjustment” to “Accumulated other comprehensive income” on the consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of these standards had no impact on the consolidated statement of income.


OTHER INFORMATION

Trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, which has been the primary market of the Class B Shares since 1990, accounts for more than 85% of the total trading volume of the Class B Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Global Market combined. In light of the historically low trading volume of Class B Shares on the NASDAQ Global Market, the Company concluded that the increased costs of maintaining the listing of the Class B Shares on the NASDAQ Global Market outweigh the benefits of continuing such listing.


Therefore on March 7, 2007 the Company announced its intention to voluntarily delist its Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (the “Class B Shares”) from the NASDAQ Global Market. The Company filed a notification of removal from listing on the NASDAQ Global Market on Form 25 with the SEC on March 19, 2007. The withdrawal of the Class B Shares from listing was effective 10 days after the filing of this notice. Accordingly, the Class B Shares were suspended from trading on the NASDAQ Global Market as of market open on March 19, 2007 and the Class B Shares were delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market on March 29, 2007.


With the delisting of the Class B Shares from the NASDAQ Global Market, the Company will continue to file or furnish reports with the SEC. However, the Company intends at a future date, if permitted under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to terminate the registration of the Shares with the SEC. The delisting of the Shares from the NASDAQ Global Market will not affect the listing of the Class B Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Class B Shares will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange after the NASDAQ Global Market delisting becomes effective.


The designation, number and amount of each class and series of its shares outstanding as of July 31, 2007 are as follows:

§

An unlimited number of Class "A" Multiple Voting Shares without nominal or par value, convertible at any time at the option of the holder into Class "B" Subordinate Voting Shares on a one-for-one basis, and;

§

An unlimited number of Class "B" Subordinate Voting Shares without nominal or par value, convertible into Class "A" Multiple Voting Shares, under certain circumstances, if an offer is made to purchase the Class "A" shares.

OUTLOOK

Expectations remain that organic revenue growth will be modest in 2007, but that earnings improvements, excluding restructuring costs, will outpace revenue increases. In the Juvenile segment, given the progress at Dorel Europe and the strength of the Euro, revenue growth is expected to be in the high single digits. The Juvenile segment adjusted earnings from operations percentage is expected to remain at year-to-date levels. Due to the general furniture inventory pull back at some major customers, revenue in the Home Furnishings segment is now forecast to be less than 2006 levels. The revenue decline that is now anticipated means adjusted earnings are not expected to exceed prior year levels for this segment. The pace of both revenue and earnings increases in the Recreational/Leisure segment, will slow slightly over the second half. However based on the strong first half, this segment’s revenue and earnings will improve significantly over 2006 levels.


Forward Looking Information

Certain statements included in this interim MD&A may constitute “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “foresee”, “believe” or “continue” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. We refer you to the Company’s filings with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of the various factors that may affect the Company’s future results.


Readers are cautioned, however, not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based will occur. By their nature, forward looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward looking statements will not occur. This may cause the Company’s actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.


We believe that the expectations represented by such forward looking statements are reasonable, yet there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Furthermore, the forward looking statements contained in this report are made as of the date of this report, and we do not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward looking statements contained in this report are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

As at June 30, 2007

 

All figures in thousands of US$, except share amounts (Unaudited)


1.

Accounting policies

Basis of Presentation


These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) using the U.S. dollar as the reporting currency. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Canadian parent company, Dorel Industries Inc. (“Dorel” or the “Company”). They have been prepared on a basis consistent with those followed in the most recent audited financial statements except for change in accounting policies noted below. These interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 30, 2006.


The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. Dorel expects seasonality not to be a material factor in quarterly results, though operating segments within Dorel may vary more significantly.


Reclassifications


Effective January 2007, the Company’s electric ride-on toy business, previously included in the Juvenile segment, has been transferred to the Recreational / Leisure segment. To allow for better year-over-year comparability, prior year comparative segmented revenue of $3,032 for the quarter ($7,502 year to date) and earnings from operations of $311 for the quarter ($679 year to date) have been reclassified. Segmented figures are presented in Note 12 to these interim financial statements. Certain other prior year’s accounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.


Change in Accounting Policies


Effective as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) under CICA Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, Section 3251, Equity, Section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, Section 3861 Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation and Section 3865, Hedges. These new Handbook Sections provide comprehensive requirements for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. Section 1530 establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income refers to items recognized in comprehensive income but that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.


Under these new standards, all financial instruments are classified into one of the following five categories: held for trading, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. All financial instruments, including derivatives, are included on the consolidated balance sheet and are initially and subsequently measured at fair value with the exception of loans and receivables, investments held-to-maturity and other financial liabilities, which are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Subsequent recognition of changes in fair value of financial instruments remeasured each reporting date at fair value depend on their initial classification. Held for trading financial investments are measured at fair value with all gains and losses included in net income in the period in which they arise. Available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with gains and losses included in other comprehensive income until the asset is removed from the balance sheet or until impaired.


The standards require derivative instruments to be recorded as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair value unless exempted from derivative treatment as a normal purchase or sale. Certain derivatives embedded in other contracts must also be separated from the main contract and measured at fair value. All changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge criteria are met, which requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. Any derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting is marked-to-market at each reporting date and the gains or losses are included in earnings.


As a result of the adoption of these new standards, the Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents as held for trading. Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables. Bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable, long-term debt, other long-term liabilities and balance of sale payable are classified as other liabilities, all of which are measured at amortized cost. As at December 30, 2006 and June 30, 2007, all outstanding foreign exchange contracts were reported on a mark-to-market basis and the gains or losses were included in earnings as the Company elected not to follow hedge accounting for these derivatives.


Section 3855 also provides guidance on accounting for transaction costs incurred upon the issuance of debt instruments or modification of a financial liability. Except for those incurred on the revolving credit facility, transaction costs are now deducted from the financial liability and are amortized using the effective interest method over the expected life of the related liability. As a result of the application of Section 3855, unamortized financing costs of $255 as at June 30, 2007 ($331 – December 31, 2006), previously recorded in other assets, have been reclassified against long-term debt. The adoption of these new standards also resulted in the reclassification of amounts previously recorded in “Cumulative translation adjustment” to “Accumulated other comprehensive income” on the consolidated balance sheet.  The adoption of these standards had no impact on the consolidated statement of income.


2.

Business acquisition


On February 28, 2007, the Company acquired a 55% interest in Australian company IGC (Australia) Pty Ltd (“IGC”). Operating as In Good Care, IGC is a manufacturer and distributor of juvenile products in Australia and New Zealand. The Company has paid cash consideration of $2,521 (AUD$3,178) in return for the 55% controlling interest and refinanced IGC’s debt in the amount of $7,437 (AUD$9,375) through its existing credit facilities.  The acquisition has been recorded under the purchase method of accounting with the results of operations of the acquired business being included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The Company is presently in the process of allocating the cost of this purchase to the net assets acquired. An amount of $1,824 has been preliminarily attributed to goodwill.


3.

Restructuring activities


Juvenile Segment


In the fourth quarter of 2006, Dorel Europe initiated restructuring activities affecting the Juvenile Segment. Significant operational changes related to the production facilities in Telgate, Italy and Cholet, France are being implemented. The plan’s objective is to reduce operational costs through strategic sourcing and manufacturing. These restructuring initiatives are expected to be completed by 2008 and result in cumulative restructuring charges of approximately $15,000. To date, the Company has recorded a cumulative charge of $9,884 under the plan, including $1,615 of non-cash charges related to the write-down of long-lived assets and inventory markdowns, $8,625 of employee severance and termination benefits and $130 of other associated costs, net of curtailment gains on defined benefit pension plans of $486. Of this $9,884 cumulative charge, $4,000 was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006 and $5,884 has been recorded in the current fiscal year.  Additional costs expected to be incurred under this plan are approximately $4,000 of severance and $1,000 of other associated costs.


The costs recognized in the current year for restructuring activities consist of the following:

Home furnishing Segment


On May 17, 2007, the Company announced a plan for restructuring at Ameriwood Industries.  The Company has determined that its current ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture manufacturing footprint exceeds anticipated market needs. The plan calls for the suspension of the majority of manufacturing operations at the Dowagiac, Michigan RTA facility by mid-July. The restructuring is part of an overall plan to improve the earnings of the Home Furnishings Segment.


The total pre-tax cost of the restructuring plan is expected to be $11,543, including $9,477 non-cash charges related to the write-down of long-lived assets and inventory markdowns, $882 of employee severance and termination benefits, $450 of contract termination costs and $734 of other associated costs. The plan is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2008, with the majority of the costs being recorded this year.

Long-term debt

Effective February 23, 2007, the Company renegotiated the terms of its unsecured revolving credit facility. This facility was extended to July 1, 2010 and provides for an annual one-year extension. The borrowing availability under this amended facility is $325,000 as disclosed in the Company’s year-end financial statements for December 30, 2006. The credit agreement was also amended to include an accordion feature allowing the Company to have access to an additional $200,000 on a revolving basis, if required. As at June 30, 2007, an amount of $212,000 relating to this facility is included in long-term debt.

In 2003, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) modified Section 3870 “Stock Based Compensation and other Stock Based Payments”, which the Company has adopted on a prospective basis. As a result, effective for the fiscal year beginning December 31, 2003, the Company is recognizing as an expense to income, all stock options granted, modified or settled using the fair value based method. As the Company has elected prospective treatment of this standard, only option grants issued in fiscal 2004 or later have an impact on operating results. Total compensation cost recognized in income for employee stock options for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 amounts to $1,385 and $2,124 respectively (2006 - $583 and $1,153 respectively), and was credited to contributed surplus.


In addition, pro-forma disclosure is presented for all options granted between January 1, 2002, the Company’s original adoption date of CICA Section 3870, and the year ended December 30, 2003. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation costs based on the fair value at the date of grant for options granted since January 1, 2002, the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro-forma amounts:

Deferred Share Units


The Company has a Deferred Share Unit plan under which an external director of the Company may elect annually to have his or her director’s fees and fees for attending meetings of the Board of Directors or committees thereof paid in the form of deferred share units (“DSU’s”). A plan participant may also receive dividend equivalents paid in the form of DSU’s. During the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, 4,556 and 2,072 DSU’s were issued respectively for fees forfeited and $151 (2006 - $47) was expensed and credited to contributed surplus. During the quarter, an additional 136 DSU’s were issued for dividend equivalents and $4 (2006 – nil) was charged to retained earnings and credited to contributed surplus. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, 7,239 and 3,764 DSU’s were issued respectively for fees forfeited and $236 (2006 - $94) was expensed and credited to contributed surplus. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, an additional 136 DSU’s were issued for dividend equivalents and $4 (2006 – nil) was charged to retained earnings and credited to contributed surplus. At June 30, 2007, 23,097 DSU’s are outstanding with related contributed surplus amounting to $669.

Insurance recovery

In the quarter, the Company has recorded a recovery of $2,200 in connection with the final settlement of a business interruption insurance claim made following a major fire at one of the Company’s primary suppliers of particle board in April 2006. The claim was made as a result of incurring increased costs of production, principally paying higher board prices. This insurance recovery was recorded as a reduction of these additional costs, in cost of sales. In the third quarter of last year, the Company had recorded a recovery of $5,000 in connection with this claim.
