PART I
Lilly Industries, Inc.
Item 1. BUSINESS
Business Description
Lilly Industries, Inc. (referred to herein as "Lilly" or the "Company") was
founded in 1865, and incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana on
December 5, 1888. The Company believes it is a leader in the industrial coatings
industry, one of the five largest industrial coatings manufacturers in North
America, and one of the 15 largest in the world based on net sales of $619.0
million in fiscal 1998. Lilly formulates, manufactures and markets coatings
primarily to original equipment manufacturers, enhancing the appearance of and
providing durability to products such as home and office furniture, cabinets,
appliances, building products, transportation, agricultural and construction
equipment, mirrors and a variety of metal and fiberglass reinforced surfaces. A
significant amount of the Company's sales represent coatings developed in
cooperation with its customers to meet their specific product requirements,
resulting in a number of primary supplier relationships with those customers.
Lilly also produces and sells household products, such as fabric protectors,
furniture care products and cleaning aids.
No one class of similar products (other than protective and decorative coatings)
accounted for 10% or more of consolidated revenues of the Company in any of the
last three fiscal years (1). The Company has only one reportable industry
segment, and employs approximately 2,300 people. The Company has plants and
sales offices in the U.S., Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Ireland, Malaysia,
Mexico, Singapore, Taiwan and the United Kingdom.
On April 8, 1996, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Guardsman
Products, Inc. ("GPI") for $235 million in cash. Like the Company, GPI was in
the business of formulating, manufacturing and marketing industrial coatings.
GPI also marketed various household furniture care and automotive after-market
products. With the acquisition of GPI, Lilly increased its fiscal 1996 net sales
by approximately 55% over fiscal 1995 net sales. The GPI acquisition
strengthened Lilly's market position by broadening customer base and product
lines. The acquisition increased Lilly's presence in industrial wood and metal
coatings, and provided it with important environmentally friendly water-borne
technologies. Lilly also gained a household products business focused on fabric
and stain protection products for household furniture. This business is
characterized by relatively high margins and the potential for new product
development, and adds a degree of diversification to the Company.
(1) References in this Form 10-K are references to the Company's fiscal years
ended November 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998.
Industrial Coatings Industry
Coatings protect a wide range of manufactured goods from the effects of external
elements over the life of the product. In addition, coatings make products more
aesthetically pleasing to end-use customers. Lilly competes in three principal
industrial coatings markets: (i) wood coatings, such as lacquer and protective
color for furniture, building products and kitchen cabinets; (ii) metal
coatings, such as liquid and powder coatings used to finish building products,
furniture, appliances and transportation equipment; and (iii) composites and
glass coatings, such as gelcoats and specialty chemicals for transportation
equipment, recreational vehicles and mirrors.
Sales for the global paints and coatings market equal approximately $55 billion
annually, with annual sales for the domestic market equaling approximately $17
billion. Annual sales for the industrial coatings segment in which Lilly
participates are approximately $25 billion globally and $8.5 billion
domestically. The balance of the market consists primarily of architectural
coatings (primarily house paints), a market in which Lilly does not compete, and
specialty coatings, including maintenance coatings and traffic paints.
Industrial coatings is a mature and highly fragmented industry in the U.S.,
growing in-line with industrial production, and includes many small competitors.
Long term annual unit growth in the U.S. industrial coatings business is
projected between 1% and 2%, largely tied to fluctuations in general economic
cycles. Annual unit growth rate is projected between 1% and 2% in Europe and
between 4% and 6% in Asia. The North American industrial coatings industry is
divided among over 700 participants.
Due to its maturity and historically fragmented participant base, the coatings
industry is undergoing consolidation through mergers and acquisitions.
Consolidation of the coatings industry is being driven by several factors,
including (i) the need for growth in maturing markets; (ii) environmental costs
which, together with a more demanding global customer base, will make it
difficult for smaller manufacturers with limited financial resources to remain
independent; and (iii) the increasing technical and financial resources of the
larger companies. To date, the effects of industry consolidation include a
greater concentration of market share with fewer companies, a reduction in the
number of competitors, and the creation of new synergies within the larger
coatings companies, such as raw material purchasing power and manufacturing
economies of scale.
Competition
The industrial coatings industry is competitive, with more than 700 North
American manufacturers operating in numerous market segments. Manufacturers
include large international companies as well as small regional firms, and no
one manufacturer dominates. Competitive advantages include developing coatings
that meet specific customer requirements, pricing coatings competitively and
rapidly delivering quality products. Technological developments that reduce
negative environmental effects are also an important competitive factor.
Lilly is one of the top five industrial coatings manufacturers in North America,
one of the top 15 worldwide, and, with the acquisition of GPI, became the
largest supplier to the U.S. residential furniture market, serving virtually all
of the top 25 U.S. furniture manufacturers. While Lilly is among the top five
North American producers of industrial coatings, some competitors are generally
more diversified and have greater financial resources than the Company. Major
competitors include Akzo Nobel; Ferro Corporation; Morton International, Inc.;
The Sherwin-Williams Company; PPG Industries, Inc.; and The Valspar Corporation.
End Use Markets
The Company focuses on four end use markets: metal coatings; wood coatings;
composites and glass; and specialty. These four markets accounted for
approximately 39%, 38%, 12% and 11% of the Company's fiscal 1998 net sales,
respectively. The following provides a summary of these markets.
Metal Coatings. The Company's metal coatings provide specialized coatings for
numerous applications such as appliances, building products and fixtures (such
as residential siding, aluminum gutters, and metal roofing), agricultural and
construction equipment, furniture, bicycles, digital satellite systems,
automotive trim and wheels, entry and garage doors, computers, window trim,
shelving, and playground equipment. These coatings include traditional liquid
coatings as well as coil coatings and a full range of decorative and functional
powder coatings. The coil coatings process is considered one of the most
environmentally safe, energy-efficient methods of applying coatings to metal
substrates. Lilly's technical innovation has produced conventional and water-
borne coil coatings formulated with proprietary resins that provide high
durability, flexibility, corrosion resistance and chemical resistance. Powder
coatings are experiencing growth because of their environmental desirability, as
powder coatings have no solvent content. Lilly powder coatings are
environmentally compliant and provide outstanding durability and performance for
both interior and exterior applications. Metal coatings are manufactured at
fourteen facilities in the U.S. and facilities in Canada and Germany.
Wood Coatings. Lilly's wood coatings provide a full range of custom-formulated
coatings designed to enhance the beauty of wood while providing maximum
durability for products such as residential and office furniture, building
products and kitchen cabinets. Wood coatings are manufactured at six U.S.
locations, as well as five foreign facilities located in Canada, China, Ireland,
Malaysia and Taiwan.
Composites and Glass Coatings. The Company's composites include gelcoats and
fiberglass reinforced plastic composites for boats, recreational vehicles,
cultured marble vanity tops, custom van and truck components and personal
watercraft. Lilly's glass coatings are well recognized globally. The Company's
glass coatings provide mirror manufacturers with everything needed to convert
glass into mirrors of premier quality. Glass coatings include patented silver
and copper plating solutions, as well as low-lead and lead-free coatings for
mirror-back protection, all of which meet the environmental and quality
performance standards of mirror manufacturers. Glass coatings are manufactured
at two facilities located in Connecticut, and foreign facilities located in
Canada and Germany.
Specialty. The Company also manufactures and distributes a wide variety of
household products consisting of four distinct businesses: Interior Care,
Consumer Products, Specialty Chemicals and WoodPro(R). The Interior Care
business provides fabric protection and furniture care products to consumers
through furniture stores, and is the world's largest supplier of retail-applied
fabric protection, Fabri-Coate(R). The Consumer Products business markets
several well-known brand name household specialty items, such as Guardsman(R)
Furniture Polish, Goof Off(R) remover, One-Wipe(R) dust clothes and Chip Clip(R)
snack closures. These products are sold through hardware, home center, paint,
mass merchant and grocery retailers. The Specialty Chemicals business
manufactures private-label automotive chemicals such as brake part cleaner, fuel
injector cleaner, and engine oil supplements for national automotive customers.
This division also serves as a private-label contractor in the chemical
packaging market. The WoodPro(R) business is a franchise group that offers
on-site repair and maintenance of wood and upholstered furnishings for the home
or office. These businesses operate from two facilities located in Michigan and
facilities located in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Distribution and Customers
Lilly's technical sales force of approximately 700 people market and sell its
industrial coatings directly to over 6,000 industrial customers throughout the
world. Most of the Company's customers are located throughout the United States
and Canada, with the remaining customers concentrated in Asia and Europe. The
Company is not dependent upon any single customer or few customers. The loss of
any single customer would not have a material adverse impact on the Company. No
single customer of the Company represented more than 5% of net sales.
International sales, including U.S. exports, were $149.3 million in fiscal year
1998, which represented 24% of consolidated sales. Information concerning the
Company's net sales, operating income and assets in foreign countries and the
United States for the three years ended November 30, 1998 is set forth in Note 9
in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 1998 Annual
Report to Shareholders. Note 9 is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company has no significant order backlog. No material part of the business
is subject to re-negotiation of profit or termination of contracts or
subcontracts at the election of any governments. Historically, first quarter
operating results are below operating results for the second, third and fourth
quarters due to the lower demand for industrial production which typically
occurs in December.
Raw Materials
Raw materials are the largest single cost in the industrial coatings business,
representing about half of the selling price of most coatings. The typical
coating consists of pigments dispersed in a liquid known as the "vehicle," which
is usually composed of one or more polymers, and a solvent. The solvent helps
the coating spread over the substrate; the polymers form a film to hold the
coating in place after the solvent has evaporated and provides the unique
performance characteristics of the coating. Solvents are typically
petrochemical-based products that evaporate quickly. However, the use of
petrochemical-based solvents is declining as environmentally friendly
technologies, such as water-borne liquid and powder coatings, gain market share.
The pigment, usually an inorganic substance, provides the color. "Fillers" and
"extender pigments" provide gloss and sheen control, while specialty chemicals
known as additives, enhance the flow and application properties of the coating.
The Company manufactures its industrial coatings from a variety of polymers,
pigments, solvents and other chemicals, the bulk of which are obtained from
petrochemical feed stocks. In addition to petrochemicals, the Company uses both
silver and copper. Under normal conditions, all of these raw materials are
available on the open market, although prices and availability are subject to
fluctuation from time to time. Lilly, like most other companies in the coatings
industry, uses a variety of organic and inorganic materials in its products. No
single raw material cost currently accounts for over 4% of net sales and most
account for less than 1% of net sales.
The Company's largest single raw material cost is for titanium dioxide (TiO2),
which is a white pigment, and accounts for approximately 30% of pigment usage in
the coatings industry. The Company's annual expenditures for TiO2 total
approximately 4% of the Company's annual net sales.
Research and Development
Lilly's Corporate Technology Center, as well as laboratories at its major
facilities, emphasize the development of product finishes to meet specific
requirements of customers and the maintenance of quality throughout the
manufacturing process. They are also engaged in research directed toward
development of new products and new manufacturing and application techniques.
Research and development expenses were $20.6 million (3.3% of net sales), $18.7
million (3.1% of net sales), and $17.3 million (3.4% of net sales) for the
fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Future research and development
expenses as a percent of net sales are anticipated to remain at current levels
with emphasis on new product development.
The Company holds several patents and trademarks, and considers patent and
trademark protection to be important, but no individual patent is currently
material to the Company's business as a whole. The Company has patents and
licenses for glass coatings which are material to that specific business; and
new patents are continually being developed to sustain the Company's competitive
advantage.
Properties
Lilly maintains 32 principal facilities, of which 20 were located in the U.S.
See Item 2 - Properties. The plants range in size from approximately 260,000
square feet to approximately 9,000 square feet. The facilities vary in age and
are well maintained and adequate for their present uses. Utilization rates vary
from site to site depending on capacity, customers served and range of
production capabilities. The Company believes it can take advantage of special
situations (e.g., special orders, new customers, new technology) that may arise
during the course of an operating cycle by adding capacity through incremental
shifts. Each facility operates technical support centers to assist customers in
addressing both application and processing issues.
Although the Company has traditionally located its domestic plants near its
customer base, the Company has begun to rely on larger, more efficient,
centralized plants in the U.S. With respect to its foreign operations, the
Company continues to adhere to its strategy of following, and being in close
proximity to, its customers as they open plants around the world.
Employees and Collective Bargaining Units
As of November 30, 1998, Lilly employed approximately 2,300 people. The coatings
industry is not heavily unionized and to the extent that there is unionization,
it is highly fragmented. Unionized workers account for approximately 9% of the
Company's total work force and operate through three separate unions at four
Lilly facilities. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are
good.
Environmental Regulation
The Company's operations are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and
local environmental laws and regulations relating to protection of the
environment, employee health and safety, and the discharge, storage, treatment
and disposal of hazardous materials. In the United States, these laws include
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
("CERCLA" or "Superfund"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Clean
Water Act, and the Clean Air Act. Certain operations of the Company use
pigments, resins and solvents that contain chemicals that are considered
hazardous under various environmental laws. Accordingly, management closely
monitors the Company's environmental performance at its facilities. Management
believes that the Company is in compliance in material respects with all
environmental laws and regulations.
CERCLA imposes joint and several liability, without regard to fault or the
legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons that are
considered to have contributed to the release of hazardous substances into the
environment. These persons include the owner and operator of the site where the
release occurred and companies that disposed or arranged for disposal of the
hazardous substances found at the site. The Company has been named as a
potentially responsible party ("PRP") by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") or similar state agencies with respect to several
inactive waste processing and/or disposal sites where clean-up costs have been
incurred or may be incurred. In addition to these sites, the Company is
currently investigating and remediating on-site disposal areas at certain of its
current and former facilities.
The Company continually assesses its environmental matters and establishes
reserves to provide for these matters as they arise. The Company's experience to
date leads it to believe that it will have continuing expenditures for
compliance with provisions regulating protection of the environment and
remediation efforts at waste and manufacturing sites. However, management
believes that such expenditures will not have a material adverse effect on
operating results or the financial position of the Company as a whole.
Under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 ("CAAA"), the EPA is required to
regulate volatile organic compound ("VOC") emissions from a variety of consumer
and commercial products, including coatings. Accordingly, the EPA has issued
various regulations that limit VOCs from industrial coatings. Although the
Company cannot accurately assess the impact of these regulations prior to their
promulgation or implementation in final form, based on currently available
information, the Company believes that these regulations will not have a
material adverse effect on the operating results or the financial position of
the Company as a whole.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements which constitute forward
looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act.
Discussions containing such forward looking statements may be found under the
captions "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition ("MD&A"), and "Business," as well as elsewhere within this
Report. Forward looking statements include statements regarding the intent,
belief or current expectations of the Company, primarily with respect to the
future operating performance of the Company or related industry developments.
When used in this Report, terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate,"
"expect," "intend," "indicate," "may be," "objective," "plan," "predict," and
"will be" are intended to identify such statements. Forward looking statements
are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties.
Forward looking statements are based upon management's expectations at the time
they are made. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in
the forward looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below
and the matters set forth in this Report generally, many of which are beyond the
control of the Company. The Company cautions the reader, however, that the
following list of factors may not be exhaustive.
Sensitivity to General Economic and Industry Conditions
The Company's business, and the industrial coatings industry as a whole, is
cyclical in nature and affected by the general trends of the economy. In
particular, consumer behavior and confidence, the level of personal
discretionary spending, housing activity, interest rates, credit availability,
and demographics influence the Company's end use markets, such as the housing,
building products, construction and agricultural equipment, appliance, furniture
and automotive industries. During economic downturns, these industries tend to
experience declines, which in turn diminish demand for the Company's products.
Effects of Leverage
The Company's level of indebtedness will have several important effects on its
operations including (i) a substantial portion of the Company's cash flow from
operations will be dedicated to debt service obligations, (ii) the covenants
contained in the Company's revolving credit facility and senior notes may limit
the Company's ability to borrow additional funds, and (iii) the Company's
leveraged financial position may make the Company more vulnerable to economic
downturns and may limit its ability to withstand competitive pressures, and plan
for, or react to, changes in market conditions.
Environmental Matters
The operations of the Company, like those of other companies in the industrial
coatings industry, are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations. While the Company believes that it is
currently in material compliance with environmental requirements, any failure to
comply with such present and future requirements could subject the Company to
future liabilities. The imposition of more stringent environmental requirements,
or a determination that the Company is potentially responsible for site
remediation where contamination is not presently known could result in
expenditures for which no accrual has been made.
Mature Industry
The industrial coatings industry is a mature business in the U.S., growing in
line with industrial production. Long-term annual growth in the U.S. industrial
coatings industry is projected in the 1% to 2% range. To expand and remain
competitive, the Company will be required to continue (i) to develop coatings
that meet specific customer requirements, (ii) to price those coatings
competitively, and (iii) to deliver quality products on time. In addition, the
Company will also need to keep pace with technological developments to remain
competitive, particularly technological developments that relate to
environmental demands such as reductions of volatile organic compound emissions
imposed by government regulations.
Raw Materials
Over 50% of the Company's operating costs are typically attributable to the cost
of raw materials. The cost of these raw materials, most of which are derived
from petrochemical products, depends on numerous factors, including changes in
the economy, the level of foreign and domestic production, and the crude oil
supply and demand balance. A rise in the price of raw materials could materially
increase the Company's operating costs and thereby adversely affect its profit
margins.
International Operations
During fiscal 1998, the Company's international sales, including U.S. exports
accounted for approximately 24% of total sales, and this percentage may increase
in the coming years. The Company's international operations subject it to the
risks of doing business abroad, including currency fluctuations, various trade
barriers, restrictions on the transfer of funds, greater difficulty in accounts
receivable collection, burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws,
and, in certain parts of the world, economic, social, and political instability,
any of which could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial position
and results of operations.
Year 2000 Issues
There can be no assurance that the Company and its vendors, suppliers and
customers will achieve Year 2000 readiness.
