ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Huffy Corporation, an Ohio corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively called "Huffy" or the "Company") are engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of Recreation and Leisure Time Products, Juvenile Products, and the furnishing of Services for Retail. The Company's executive offices are located in Miamisburg, Ohio and its principal business offices and/or manufacturing facilities are located in San Diego, California; Thornton, Colorado; Farmington, Missouri; Miamisburg and Celina, Ohio; Camp Hill and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Waukesha and Suring, Wisconsin; and Whites Cross, Cork, Ireland.
The general development of business within each business segment (Recreation and Leisure Time Products, Juvenile Products and Services for Retail) is discussed in more detail below. See also Part IV herein for financial information relating to each such business segment.
RECREATION AND LEISURE TIME PRODUCTS
Huffy Bicycle Company, Huffy Sports Company, and True Temper Hardware Company comprise the Recreation and Leisure Time Products segment of the Company. Bicycles are one of the principal products produced within the business segment. Bicycles sold to high volume retailers represented 40.6 percent, 44.2 percent, and 44.6 percent of consolidated revenues of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. Sales to high volume retailers of basketball backboards, poles, goals and related products represented 11.2 percent of consolidated revenues of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1994. Sales to high volume retailers of lawn and garden tools, which are also principal products within the business segment, represented 12.1 percent, 13.6 percent, and 15.6 percent of consolidated revenues of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. Although to date the export business is not significant, the companies in the Recreation and Leisure Time Products segment participate in various foreign markets and are actively involved in expanding export volume.
a. Products, Marketing and Distribution ------------------------------------
Huffy Bicycle Company: The Huffy(R) bicycle brand is the largest selling brand of bicycles sold in the United States. The full line of Huffy(R) bicycles is produced by Huffy Bicycle Company, a division of the Company, whose manufacturing facilities are located in Celina, Ohio, and Farmington, Missouri. In 1994, Huffy Bicycle Company opened the bicycle manufacturing facility in Farmington, Missouri, to increase manufacturing flexibility, capacity and market share, and to reduce costs. Included in the Huffy(R) bicycle line are adult all purpose bicycles; adult all terrain bicycles; a series of innovative boys' and girls' 20" bicycles; and a series of popular children's 16" sidewalk bicycles. Huffy(R) bicycles are extensively advertised and are sold predominantly through national and regional high volume retailers, a distribution network accounting for approximately 75 to 80 percent of all bicycles sold in the United States. Over 90 percent of Huffy Bicycle Company's bicycles are sold under the Huffy(R) brand name with the balance being sold under private label brands.
Huffy Sports Company: Huffy Sports Company, a division of the Company, located in Waukesha, Wisconsin, is the leading supplier of basketball backboards, poles, goals, and
related products for use at home. Huffy Sports Company products, many of which bear the logo of the National Basketball Association ("NBA"), as well as the Huffy Sports(R) trademark, are sold predominately through national and regional high volume retailers in the United States.
True Temper Hardware Company: True Temper Hardware Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is headquartered in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. The Company acquired the True Temper Hardware business from certain affiliates of Black & Decker, Inc. in 1990. True Temper Hardware Company is one of three leading suppliers of non-powered lawn and garden tools and snow tools; products include long-handled shovels, hoes, forks, wheelbarrows, snow shovels, and rakes for use in the home and in agricultural, industrial and commercial businesses. In 1994, True Temper Hardware Company discontinued manufacturing spreaders and pruning tools and sold the assets used to produce such products, including its Anderson, South Carolina manufacturing facility. Manufacturing facilities are located in Camp Hill and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. True Temper Hardware Company also owns four sawmill facilities located in Indiana, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. In addition, True Temper Limited, an Irish Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has offices and a manufacturing facility in Whites Cross, Cork, Ireland. True Temper Hardware products are extensively advertised and are sold both directly, and through wholesale distributors, to national and regional high volume retailers and hardware stores. Over 82 percent of True Temper Hardware's products are sold under the True Temper(R) name; the remainder are sold under the Jackson(R) name, or other names, or under private labels. During 1994, the Company substantially completed a restructuring plan to restructure the True Temper lawn and garden tool business to address inefficiencies in the manufacturing process and to improve future profitability of True Temper Hardware Company. The Company recorded a credit to the restructure provision of $934,000. Information regarding the Company's restructure of True Temper Hardware Company is incorporated herein by reference to page 24 and note 2 to the consolidated financial statements on page 32 of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1994.
b. Suppliers ---------
Basic materials such as raw steel, steel tubing, plastic, ash timber, and welding materials used in the manufacturing operations are purchased primarily from domestic sources. Alternate sources are available for all critical products and components, but the sudden loss of any major supplier could, on a temporary basis, cause a negative effect on the segment's operations.
c. Patents, Trademarks and Licenses --------------------------------
The patents, trademarks (including the registered trademarks "Huffy", "Huffy Sports", "True Temper" and "Jackson"), licenses (including the license to use the NBA logo) and other proprietary rights of the companies in this segment are deemed important to the Company. The loss by the Company of its rights under any individual patent, trademark (other than "Huffy" or "True Temper"), license or other proprietary right used by this segment would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or the segment. The loss of either the registered trademark "Huffy" or "True Temper" could have a material adverse effect on the Company and this segment. The Company has no reason to
believe that anyone has rights to either the trademark "Huffy" or the trademark "True Temper" for the products in connection with which such trademarks are used.
d. Seasonality and Inventory -------------------------
Due to the relatively short lapse of time between placement of orders for products and shipments, the Company normally does not consider its backlog of orders as significant to this business segment. Because of rapid delivery requirements of their customers, the companies in this segment maintain significant quantities of inventories of finished goods to meet their customers' requirements. Sales of bicycles are seasonal in that sales tend to be higher in the Spring and Fall of each year. Basketball products tend to have varying degrees of seasonality, none of which are significant to the operations of the Company. Sales of lawn and garden products and snow tools tend to be higher in the Spring and Winter of each year, respectively.
e. Competition and Customers -------------------------
In the high volume retailer bicycle business, Huffy Bicycle Company has numerous competitors in the United States market, only two of which are deemed significant. Although importers in the aggregate provide significant competition, only one individual importer is deemed a significant competitor. Even though competition among domestic manufacturers and importers of bicycles is intense, Huffy Bicycle Company believes it is cost competitive in the high volume retailer bicycle market and maintains its position through continued efforts to improve manufacturing efficiency and product value. Huffy Bicycle Company's ability to provide its customers with low cost, innovative new products has enabled it to maintain its market position despite the targeted marketing efforts of competitors from Taiwan, China, and other nations. Huffy Sports Company has several competitors, but only one is deemed significant. Huffy Sports Company maintains its competitive position by offering its customers high quality, innovative products at competitive prices and by supporting its products with outstanding customer service. True Temper Hardware Company has numerous competitors in the United States and Canada, but considers only two competitors significant. True Temper Hardware Company believes it remains competitive by offering its customers in the home use, agricultural, industrial, and commercial markets competitively priced, high quality, innovative products. The loss by the Recreation and Leisure Time Products segment of either of its two largest customers could result in a short-term, material adverse effect on the segment.
JUVENILE PRODUCTS
The Juvenile Products segment is comprised of Gerry Baby Products Company and Gerry Wood Products Company (collectively, the "Gerry Companies"). Although to date the export business is not significant, the Gerry Companies participate in various foreign markets and are actively involved in expanding export volume.
a. Products, Marketing and Distribution ------------------------------------
Juvenile Products include products sold under two prominent brand names: "Gerry" and "Snugli". Gerry(R) baby products include a wide range of market entries, including car seats, infant carriers, frame carriers, security gates, toilet trainers, electronic baby
monitors, and a broad line of various wood juvenile products including portable cribs, changing tables and security gates sold under the "Nu-Line" brand name prior to 1992 and under the Gerry(R) brand name since 1992. Snugli(R) baby products include infant carriers.
All of the juvenile products have wide distribution; the products are marketed through all of the retail channels that sell juvenile products: mass merchants, toy chains, warehouse clubs, catalog showrooms, national and regional retailers, and specialty shops. Juvenile Products represented 16.9 percent, 16.4 percent, and 16.4 percent of consolidated revenues of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.
The Juvenile Products segment has been developed through selective acquisitions and internal growth and expansion. It is comprised of two direct subsidiaries of the Company: Gerry Baby Products Company ("GBPC") and Gerry Wood Products Company. GBPC's headquarters and principal manufacturing facilities are located in Thornton, Colorado. Gerry Wood Products Company is a manufacturer of juvenile wooden products and is located in Suring, Wisconsin. In 1994, the Company discontinued its assembly operations at its facilities located in Vancouver, British Columbia which prior thereto had been operated through an indirect subsidiary of the Company, Snugli-Canada, Ltd. In 1987, GBPC entered into a joint venture known as Takata-Gerico Corporation ("TGC"), with Takata Corporation of Japan, to manufacture children's car seats in the United States for distribution by GBPC. The joint venture was subsequently terminated by the parties' mutual agreement in 1992, and in connection with such termination GBPC purchased certain assets of TGC.
b. Suppliers ---------
Basic materials such as steel and aluminum tubing, plastic, wood, fabric, and resins used in domestic manufacturing operations are purchased primarily from domestic sources. All electronic products and some sewn products are imported. Alternate sources are available for all critical products and components, but the sudden loss of any major supplier could, on a temporary basis, cause a negative effect on the segment's operations.
c. Patents, Trademarks and Licenses --------------------------------
The patents, trademarks (including the registered trademarks "Gerry" and "Snugli") and other proprietary rights of the Gerry Companies in this segment are deemed important to the Company. However, the loss of any rights under any individual patent, trademark (other than "Gerry" or "Snugli"), or other proprietary right used by this segment would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or this segment. The loss of the registered trademark "Gerry" or "Snugli" could have a material adverse effect on the Company and this segment, but the Company has no reason to believe anyone has rights to either the "Gerry" or "Snugli" trademark for the products in connection with which either is used.
d. Seasonality and Inventory -------------------------
The Gerry Companies do not consider their backlog of orders significant to this business segment, due to the relatively short lapse of time between placement of orders for products and shipments. Because of the rapid delivery requirements of their customers, the Gerry Companies maintain sufficient quantities of inventories of finished goods to meet their customers' requirements. Most products within this business segment are not seasonal.
e. Competition and Customers -------------------------
There are numerous juvenile products competitors in the U.S. market, four of which are deemed significant. The Gerry Companies believe they are competitive because of their continued efforts to provide innovative new products of high quality at competitive costs and to support their products with outstanding customer service. The loss by the Gerry Companies of their largest customer could have a short-term, material adverse effect on the segment.
SERVICES FOR RETAIL
Huffy Service First, Inc. ("HSF") and Washington Inventory Service ("WIS") each provide certain services to retailers. Inventory, assembly, repair and merchandise services provided by WIS and HSF to their customers represented 19.2 percent, 15.8 percent, and 15.6 percent of consolidated revenues of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.
a. Products, Marketing and Distribution ------------------------------------
Huffy Service First: HSF, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio, serves the needs of major retailers in 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands by providing in-store assembly, repair, and display services for a variety of products, including among other things, bicycles, barbeque grills, physical fitness equipment, lawnmowers, and furniture. HSF is the only assembly service business of this kind available to high volume retailers on a nationwide basis. HSF also offers merchandising services (product resets and periodic maintenance of displays) to manufacturers who supply high volume retailers.
Washington Inventory Service: WIS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, headquartered in San Diego, California, provides physical inventory services on a nationwide basis to meet the financial reporting and inventory control requirements of mass retailers, drug stores, home centers, sporting goods stores, specialty stores and grocery stores. WIS operates from 115 offices nationwide.
b. Seasonality -----------
The demand for services provided by this business segment is seasonal in that assembly service demand is generally strongest in Spring and at the Winter holiday season, and inventory service demand is generally strongest in the first and third calendar quarters of the year.
c. Competition and Customers -------------------------
Although WIS has numerous competitors in the United States market, only one is significant. HSF has numerous competitors in the United States market, none of which is deemed significant. WIS and HSF believe they remain competitive due to their nationwide network of operations, competitive pricing and full service. The loss by either WIS or HSF of its largest customer could result in a short-term, material adverse effect on the segment.
Sales to Wal-Mart Corporation, Kmart Corporation and Toys "R" Us aggregated over ten percent or more of the Company's consolidated revenues from each such customer for the year ended December 31, 1994, and the loss of any one of these customers could have a short-term, material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries as a whole.
The number of persons employed full-time by the Company (excluding seasonal employees in the Services for Retail Segment) as of December 31, 1994, was 6,955.
There are no encumbrances on the Celina, Ohio; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Suring, Wisconsin; and Whites Cross, Cork, Ireland properties which are owned. All of the Company's facilities are in good condition and are considered suitable for the purposes for which they are used. The Camp Hill, Pennsylvania; Celina, Ohio; and Suring, Wisconsin, manufacturing facilities normally operate on a two full shift basis, with third shift operations scheduled as needed to meet seasonal production requirements. The Thornton, Colorado; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and Waukesha, Wisconsin manufacturing facilities normally operate on a two full shift basis. The Whites Cross, Cork, Ireland, manufacturing facility normally operates on a one full shift basis.
