National R.V. Holdings Reports Third Quarter Results
Perris, Calif. -- October 28, 2003/PR Newswire - First Call/ -- For the third
quarter ended September 30, 2003, National R.V. Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NVH) today
reported a net loss of $0.3 million, or $0.03 per share, compared with a net
loss of $9.8 million, or $1.00 per share, last year, which included a charge of
$6.1 million, or $0.62 per share for the complete impairment of the Company's
goodwill. Net sales for the quarter were $91.3 million, up 26% from $72.4
million last year.
A net loss for the nine months was $7.1 million, or $0.72 per share, compared
with a net loss of $14.5 million, or $1.49 per share last year, including the
aforementioned goodwill impairment charge. Net sales for the nine months were
$242.9 million, up 2% from $239.2 million last year.
"We are pleased with our increase in sales for the quarter," said Brad
Albrechtsen, National R.V. Holding's president and CEO. "We are seeing the
impact of our new product launches, including our National RV Tropi-Cal diesel
unit and our Country Coach Inspire diesel unit. We are also currently seeing
demand in excess of our production rates on many of our products and are working
toward increasing production, particularly at our Perris facility," continued
Albrechtsen. "We know from experience the costs associated with attempting to
increase production too quickly and are taking a more measured and deliberate
approach to meeting the demand.
"We are fast approaching profitability," stated Albrechtsen," thanks to
increasing demand and continued cost cutting efforts. The fourth quarter is
historically seasonally slower with added margin pressure due to holiday
shut-downs, so we are not anticipating significant improvement in Q4 compared to
Q3, but so far demand remains strong."
The Company reported that its gross profit margin percentage improvement was
achieved primarily through higher production volumes, reduced warranty costs and
reduced discounting. Pricing pressure that existed in the highline segment seems
to have lessened as industry-wide excess inventories have diminished.
Revenues in the quarter for the National RV division were $48.1 million, up 15%
from $42.0 last year. Revenues in the quarter for the Country Coach division
were $42.0 million, up 34% from $31.3 million last year. National RV revenues
for the nine months were $149.9 million, up 4% from $144.2 million last year.
Country Coach revenues for the nine months were $91.2 million, down 2% from
$93.4 million last year.
Third quarter wholesale unit shipments of diesel motorhomes were 297, up 41%
from 211 units last year. Quarterly shipments of gas motorhomes were 321, up 38%
from 232 units last year. Quarterly shipments of towable products were 355, down
7% from 383 units last year.
Wholesale unit shipments of diesel motorhomes for the nine months were 752, down
2% from 765 units last year. Shipments of gas motorhomes for the nine months
were 946, up 26% from 752 units last year. Year-to-date shipments of towable
products were 1,220, down 4% from 1,266 units last year.
Quarterly selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.8 million, down
17% from $5.8 million last year. As a percentage of sales, quarterly SG&A
expenses were 5.2% versus 8.0% last year. SG&A expenses for the nine months were
$14.9 million, down 13% from $17.2 million last year. As a percentage of sales,
year-to-date SG&A expenses were 6.2% versus 7.2% last year.
The Company reported that cash decreased by approximately $3.6 million during
the third quarter, due primarily to a $10.4 million increase in accounts
receivable partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in inventory, a $0.5
million increase in accounts payable, a $1.4 million increase in book overdraft,
$3.2 million of net advances against the line-of-credit and $0.5 million of
proceeds for issuance of common stock from the exercise of stock options.
"Total inventory dropped by $1.3 million during the quarter, coming mainly from
reductions in finished goods and work-in-process, offset by increases in raw
materials and chassis. We saw the expected improvements in work-in-process at
our Country Coach division and continued improvement in finished goods at our
National RV division," said Chief Financial Officer Mark Andersen. "Production
increases at National RV led to increases in raw materials and work-in-process
inventory that limited our effort to reduce total inventory during the quarter.
Our best opportunity for further reductions in the fourth quarter is from
finished goods at Country Coach."

today, October 28, 2003, at 2 p.m. Eastern. A link to the conference call can be
