The Reach™, a commercial van offering up to 35 percent better fuel economy with improved safety and operational performance, will launch into production during the third quarter of 2011. Currently, final durability testing is nearing completion with 10 pilot vehicles in use by end customers. The distribution of the Reach will extend beyond Utilimaster’s existing large fleet customers, as Isuzu’s dealer network will also be offering and supporting this commercial van. This should allow extended market penetration into smaller fleet and business operations, a large growth opportunity.
|
|
·
|
Given the size and commercial grade of the Reach, new markets will be addressed by competing with cargo and conversion vans that offer smaller cargo capacity and a significantly shorter life cycle.
|
|
·
|
Classic Fire adds breadth to Spartan’s emergency response vehicle lineup, covering additional market segments, applications and customer needs for a more price-sensitive market. Classic Fire’s operating results are included in Spartan’s reported financials for the first time during the quarter following the recently completed acquisition on April 1, 2011. The Classic Series complements the Legend and Star Series already offered by Crimson Fire and is expected to penetrate the lower-priced niche of the fire truck market.
|
|
·
|
Air bag technology will be offered in 2012 on Spartan emergency response cabs, expanding the Company’s bid opportunities while providing another compelling reason to choose a Spartan product. This significant investment reflects Spartan’s commitment to technological advancement and improved safety standards in emergency response vehicles.
|
|
·
|
Spartan Chassis’ Idle Reduction Technology (IRT) provides an estimated 50 percent fuel consumption improvement in testing, and is proving to be a compelling product with a sizeable market opportunity. This technology expands vehicle service life and reduces maintenance needs, while limiting exhaust emissions and noise pollution.
|
|
·
|
Launch of production and initial sales of the N-Series gas cab and chassis assembly, in partnership with Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, were achieved during the quarter with a future expected production rate of 21 units per day.
|
|
·
|
Alliances with business partners continue to generate new opportunities, including the recently announced agreement with Lion Bus Inc. of Saint-Jerome, Quebec.
|
|
·
|
Other existing profitable growth opportunities include field service solutions for existing customer fleets that enable performance improvement, increased safety and retrofitting with new vocational packages, such as the installation of keyless entry pads and safe loading systems. Utilimaster has been very active in this area, which offers an improved contribution margin.
|
|
·
|
Consolidated net sales for the quarter were $99.4 million, down 14.1 percent from the same quarter last year, reflecting overall market declines in the emergency response, recreational vehicle and military segments.
|
|
·
|
Adjusted gross margin fell to 14.6 percent in the second quarter, from 15.1 percent for the same period in 2010, driven by increased overhead allocation due to the lower sales volumes and product mix shift. The product sales mix consisted of fewer emergency response and military vehicles and more delivery and service vehicles.
|
|
·
|
Adjusted operating expense as a percent of sales was 15.4 compared to 13.4 in the second quarter of 2010, driven by the decreased revenue level. Operating expenses fell $0.7 million quarter over quarter when excluding the restructuring charges and the recently acquired Classic Fire business.
|
|
·
|
One-time restructuring costs amounted to nearly $2.8 million. These and other realignment activities are expected to generate approximately $4.0 million of annual fixed cost reductions and effectively lower the Company’s breakeven.
|
|
·
|
Excluding the Company’s discontinued operations, the cash conversion cycle improved by 12 days, quarter over quarter. Aggressive efforts to reduce inventory levels drove the majority of this change.
