WOLVERINE WORLD WIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 17, 1995
NOTE A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for fair presentation have been included. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1994. Certain amounts in 1994 have been reclassified to
conform with the presentation used in 1995.
NOTE B - Fluctuations
The Company's sales are seasonal, particularly in its major divisions, Hush
Puppies (registered trademark) and the Wolverine Footwear Group. Seasonal
sales patterns and the fact that the fourth quarter has sixteen or
seventeen weeks as compared to twelve weeks in each of the first three
quarters cause significant differences in sales and earnings from quarter
to quarter. These differences, however, follow a consistent pattern each
year.
NOTE C - Common Stock
On March 10, 1994, the Company announced a 3-for-2 stock split on shares
outstanding on March 21, 1994. Also, on April 19, 1995, the Company
announced an additional 3-for-2 stock split on shares outstanding on May 1,
1995. All share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted for
the increased shares resulting from the stock splits.
NOTE D - Earnings Per Share
Primary earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average
shares of common stock outstanding during each period assuming that the
stock splits described in Note C had been completed at the beginning of the
earliest period presented. Common stock equivalents (stock options) are
included in the computation of primary and fully diluted earnings per
share.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Results Of Operations - Comparison Of Second Quarter 1995 To Second Quarter
1994
Second quarter net sales of $86.3 million for 1995 exceeded 1994 levels by
$7.0 million (an 8.8% increase), and 1995 year-to-date sales of $162.6
million compares to $146.1 million recorded for the comparable period of
1994. The strong performance of the Wolverine Footwear Group continued,
accounting for $5.4 million of the quarterly sales increase and $14.9
million of the year-to-date increase. In addition, second quarter
increases of $3.2 million were generated by United States Department of
Defense contracts, which helped offset a $1.0 million decrease in the
retail division, resulting from the retail repositioning conducted in 1994.
Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the second quarter of 1995
was 31.9% compared to the prior year level of 30.8%. Year-to-date margin
of 30.9% for 1995 compares to 31.2% for 1994. Improved margins were
recorded in the Wolverine Footwear Group through increased licensing
revenues and manufacturing and sourcing efficiencies. The gross margin
improvement also reflects the strong performance of the leather division
which reported an 11 percentage point margin increase. These improvements
were offset by decreases in the Hush Puppies Wholesale Division, resulting
from continuing margin pressures in the soft retail climate.
Selling and administrative costs totaling $21.2 million for the second
quarter of 1995 were $1.8 million (9.0%) higher than the second quarter
1994 levels of $19.4 million. Both years represent 24.5% of net sales,
indicating that expense controls remain strong. Distribution costs
associated with the increased sales volume and advertising and promotional
investments in the Wolverine Footwear Group accounted for $1.0 million of
the increase. Year-to-date selling and administrative expenses of $40.1
million (24.6% of net sales) is comparable to $37.7 million (25.8% of net
sales) in 1994. The year-to-date increases are principally associated with
advertising, promotional and distribution costs.
Interest expense for the second quarter of 1995 was $1.0 million, compared
to $.9 million for the same period of 1994. Year-to-date interest expense
for 1995 of $1.7 million remains consistent with 1994 levels of $1.6
million. The 1995 interest expense totals reflect a reduction in average
borrowing cost offset by an increase in borrowings outstanding.
The effective income tax rate decreased in 1995 from 1994 levels (31.0%
compared to 32.0%) for both the second quarter and year-to-date periods.
The decrease was caused by a higher percentage of the pre-tax earnings
being attributable to the non-taxable net earnings of foreign subsidiaries.
-8-
Net earnings from continuing operations of $3.9 million ($.23 per share)
for the twelve weeks ended June 17, 1995 compares favorably to earnings of
$2.5 million ($.15 per share) for the respective period of 1994. Year-to-
date earnings from continuing operations of $6.4 million ($.38 per share)
in 1995 compares with earnings of $3.9 million ($.24 per share) for the
same period of 1994. Increased earnings are primarily a result of the
items noted above.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Accounts receivable of $73.3 million at June 17, 1995 reflects an increase
of $11.4 million and $2.6 million over the balance at June 18, 1994 and
December 31, 1994, respectively. Inventories of $109.9 million at June 17,
1995 reflects an increase of $23.3 million and $30.8 million over the
balance at June 18, 1994 and December 31, 1994, respectively. The accounts
receivable increase is related to the increased volume and timing
differences in the second quarter shipping. The increased inventory levels
are considered necessary to meet future demand in both wholesaling and
manufacturing operations. However, aggressive inventory targets have been
established for the third and fourth quarters to reduce inventories to
levels which will be commensurate with the growth of the Company's
wholesale businesses.
Other current assets totaling $15.1 million at June 17, 1995 reflect a $2.8
million increase from June 18, 1994 and a $.2 million increase from
December 31, 1994. The increases primarily reflect a change in the current
portion of notes receivable.
Total interest bearing debt of $72.7 million on June 17, 1995 compares to
$60.6 million and $45.2 million at June 18, 1994 and December 31, 1994,
respectively. The increase in debt since January 1, 1994 reflects the
seasonal working capital requirements of the Company and the increase over
June 18, 1994 reflects the additional investment in inventories for
activities in the second half of 1995. The Company is currently examining
its long term capital requirements as the growth of the Company will
require increases in capital funding over the next several years. Long
term opportunities are being evaluated to supplement cash flows from future
earnings and to modify existing credit facilities to assure that the
Company's future capital requirements can be met.
The Company issued $30.0 million of senior debt during the third quarter of
1994 with an interest rate of 7.81% to replace $21.4 million of existing
10.4% senior debt and to reduce balances outstanding under a revolving
credit facility. Additionally, the long-term revolving debt scheduled to
expire in June 1995 was renegotiated during 1994 to provide more favorable
terms and conditions and was extended through June 1998.
The 1995 second quarter dividend declared of $.035 per share of common
stock represents a 29.6% increase over the $.027 per share (post split)
-9-
declared for the second quarter of 1994. The dividend is payable August 1,
1995 to stockholders of record on July 3, 1995.
The Company's increased capital investment has resulted in a $.8 million
increase in depreciation expense for the year-to-date 1995 over the same
period of 1994. Also included in other non-cash items in the statement of
cash flows is a $.5 million reduction of cash surrender value due to the
collection of death benefits.
During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company adopted a formal plan to
withdraw from its Lamont's leased shoe department business, which resulted
in a charge to 1994 fourth quarter earnings of $1.2 million. The Company
negotiated an early exit, which was executed on July 15, 1995.
