Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
Spartech Corporation, together with its subsidiaries ("Spartech" or the "Company"), is in the plastics processing business, with its principal products being:
Rigid sheet & rollstock - which is sold to various manufacturers who use plastic components in their industrial products. The principal uses of the Company's rigid sheet & rollstock are vehicle interiors, signs, spas and showers, food packaging products, burial vault liners, boats and private watercraft, and refrigerators. The Company is the nation's largest custom extruder of rigid plastic sheet & rollstock, operating ten plants (including the two extrusion plants purchased from Pawnee Industries, Inc. on November 1, 1994) nationwide under the name Spartech Plastics.
Specialty alloys, compounds and color concentrates - which are sold principally to manufacturers of specialized footwear, shutters, loose- leaf binders, cosmetic packaging products, and numerous other custom plastic applications. The Company produces and distributes these products from four plants (including the color concentrate plant purchased from Pawnee Industries, Inc. on November 1, 1994) under the names Spartech Compounding and Spartech Vy-Cal Plastics.
The Company's principal executive office is located at 7733 Forsyth Boulevard, Suite 1450, Clayton, Missouri 63105-1817, telephone (314) 721-4242. The Company was incorporated in 1968, succeeding a business which had commenced operations in 1960. In late 1983, the Company began a restructuring program, focusing on its plastics processing business (Alchem Plastics) and disposing of all of its non-plastics operating businesses. Since 1983, the Company has expanded its plastics business primarily through acquisitions. The acquisitions (including the November 1, 1994 acquisition of Pawnee Industries, Inc.'s Extrusion and Color Divisions) that comprise the Company's current operating facilities include:

Rigid Sheet & Rollstock
The Company's rigid sheet & rollstock group (including Pawnee Industries, Inc.'s Extrusion Division, purchased on November 1, 1994) operates under the name Spartech Plastics and is one of the nation's largest custom extruders of rigid sheet & rollstock, manufacturing and marketing both single and multilayer co-extruded plastic sheet for many applications. The group, operating over 60 extrusion lines, annually produces nearly 300 million pounds of rigid sheet & rollstock from several types of resin, including acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ("ABS"), polycarbonate, polypropylene, acrylic, polystyrene, and polyethylene, on a custom basis for end product manufacturers.
Net sales and operating earnings (consisting of earnings before interest, taxes and corporate operations/allocations) of the rigid sheet & rollstock group (prior to the November 1994 acquisition of Pawnee Industries, Inc.) for fiscal years 1994, 1993, and 1992 are as follows:
Fiscal Year (Dollars in millions)
1994 1993 1992
Net Sales $210.0 $150.1 $127.9 Operating Earnings $ 18.8 $ 11.7 $ 8.9
Products - Customers of the rigid sheet & rollstock group use the Company's plastic sheet & rollstock principally in the manufacture of vehicle interiors, signs, spas and showers, food packaging products, burial vault liners, boats and private watercraft, and refrigerators. Most of the Company's customers thermoform, cut, and trim their plastic sheet for various end uses.
Manufacturing and Production - The principal raw materials used in manufacturing rigid sheet & rollstock are plastic resins in pellet form, which are crude oil or natural gas derivatives. The Company extrudes a wide variety of plastic resins, including ABS, polystyrene, poly-carbonate, polyethylene, acrylic, PET, PVC, and polypropylene.
Approximately 45% of the Company's plastic sheet is presently produced in a single layer using conventional extrusion processes. In some cases, the Company will coat this plastic sheet or laminate sheets together in order to achieve performance characteristics desired by customers for particular applications. The Company also produces plastic sheet of up to three layers using a co-extrusion process, combining the materials in distinct layers as it is extruded through the die into a sheet form.
Marketing, Sales and Distribution - The custom sheet extrusion business has generally been a regional business supplying manufacturers within an estimated 750 mile radius of each of the group's ten plants because of shipping costs for rigid plastic material and the need for prompt response to customer requirements and specifications. The outdoor sign and spa businesses, however, are slightly more national in scope. The Company markets its rigid sheet & rollstock products principally through its own sales force, but also uses a limited number of independent sales representatives. The Company generally does not sell products of the rigid sheet & rollstock group under long-term contracts. During fiscal 1994, the rigid sheet & rollstock group sold its products to approximately 1,200 customers.
Specialty Alloys, Compounds and Color Concentrates
The Company's specialty alloys, compounds and color concentrates group (including Pawnee Industries, Inc.'s Color Division, purchased on November 1, 1994) is comprised of Spartech Compounding and Spartech Vy-Cal Plastics, which operates a vinyl calender in the production of finished PVC film.
The specialty alloys, compounds and color concentrates group primarily manufactures plastic alloys, compounds and color concentrates for end product manufacturers. In addition, the Spartech Compounding-Cape Girardeau facility distributes thermoplastic resins purchased from other resin suppliers. The group annually produces/distributes approximately 85 million pounds of thermo- plastic compounds and color concentrates, selling to a number of large and small manufacturers of precision plastic products.
Net sales and operating earnings (consisting of earnings before interest, taxes and corporate operations/allocations) of the specialty alloys & compounds group (prior to the November 1994 acquisition of Pawnee Industries, Inc.) for fiscal years 1994, 1993, and 1992 are as follows:
Fiscal Year (Dollars in millions)
1994 1993 1992
Net Sales $46.6 $39.3 $40.7 Operating Earnings $ 2.8 $ 2.2 $ 3.2
Products - Customers of the specialty alloys, compounds and color concentrates group include both extrusion and injection molding businesses. The group's compounds are principally used in the manufacture of specialized footwear, shutters, loose-leaf binders, cosmetic packaging products, and numerous other custom plastic applications.
The specialty alloys, compounds and color concentrates group (Spartech Compounding) produces a highly diversified range of compounds, including: FDA clear compounds for food, beverage, and medical applications; phosphorescent and fluorescent compounds; PVC combinations incorporating nitrile, elvaloy, and polyurethane for chemical and abrasion resistance for footwear, color compounds and other specialty applications.
Spartech Vy-Cal Plastics operates a vinyl calender, supplying finished PVC film to manufacturers of loose-leaf binders, decorator grade wallcoverings, and packaging products for the medical industry. It operates as a custom specialty house with its own laboratory facility for quality testing of color, thickness, texture, tensile strength, and dimensional stability of its specialized film output.
Manufacturing and Production - The principal raw materials used in manufacturing specialty plastic alloys, compounds and color concentrates are plastic resins in powder and pellet form, primarily PVC and ABS, with colorants, stabilizers, and several other additives used to obtain particular qualities in the plastic resin once it is heated and extruded or molded into end products.
The group has well-equipped laboratory facilities, with experimental extruders and various types of chemical analysis and testing equipment. In addition to compounding technology, the group has developed enhanced capabilities to produce color concentrates and additives.
Marketing, Sales and Distribution - The specialty alloys, compounds and color concentrates group markets most of its products to East Coast and Midwest customers. The group markets its products principally through its own sales force, but also uses independent sales representatives. During fiscal 1994, the specialty alloys & compounds group sold its products to approximately 525 customers.
Raw Materials
The various plastic resins used by the Company in its processing and manufacturing operations are crude oil or natural gas derivatives and are available from a number of domestic and foreign suppliers. Accordingly, the Company's raw materials are only somewhat affected by supply and demand price trends of the petroleum industry; pricing of the resins tends to follow its own supply and demand equation except in periods of anticipated or actual shortages of crude oil or natural gas. The Company is not aware of any trends in the petroleum industry which will significantly affect its sources of raw materials in fiscal 1995.
The Company does business with most of the major resin manufacturers and has enjoyed good relationships with such suppliers over the past several years. The Company has been able to adequately obtain all of its required raw materials to date and expects to be able to continue to satisfy its requirements in fiscal 1995 and beyond.
Seasonality
The Company's sales volume has somewhat of a seasonal pattern, with the period February through October of each year being the most active time. Fewer orders are placed and less manufacturing activity occurs during the period November through January. This seasonal variation tends to track the manufacturing activities of the Company's various customers in each region.
Competition
The rigid sheet & rollstock and compounding industries are each highly competitive. Since the Company manufactures a wide variety of products, it competes in different areas with many other companies, some of which are much larger than the Company and have more extensive production facilities, larger sales and marketing staffs, and substantially greater financial resources than the Company.
Important competitive factors in each of the Company's businesses include (1) the ability to manufacture consistently to required quality levels, (2) provide excellent customer service, including timely deliveries, (3) skill in raw material purchasing, and (4) production line optimization to make the products profitably.
The Company is an intermediate processor of rigid sheet & rollstock which is sold to customers who shape it for their end use with thermoforming equipment. Several of these customers have, or upon expansion may acquire, extrusion machinery. Moreover, some customers are large enough to justify building their own molds and shifting from thermoforming to an injection molding process. Injection molded products are competitive whenever large quantities are produced or fine detailing or contouring is required on the end product, which is more difficult to obtain through thermoforming. However, thermoforming techniques have been improved in recent years and are generally less expensive than other manufacturing methods due to equipment costs and other associated start-up expenses. In addition, several customers of the Company's specialty alloys, compounds and color concentrates division have the capability to formulate their own alloys, compounds and color concentrates. However, the Company expects to benefit from a growing trend of out-sourcing of specialized semifinished materials by many manufacturers.
Backlog
The Company estimates that the total dollar volume of its backlog as of November 30, 1994, was approximately $27.9 million, which represents approximately four weeks of production for both the rigid sheet & rollstock and specialty alloys, compounds and color concentrates groups. The backlog at the same time in 1993 was approximately $14.7 million.
Employees
The Company's total employment (including personnel associated with the Pawnee Industries, Inc. November 1, 1994 acquisition) approximates 1,200. There are 930 production personnel at the Company's 14 plants, 32% of whom are union employees covered by several collective bargaining agreements. There have been no strikes in the past three years, except for a five week stoppage at the Spartech Vy-Cal plant in Pennsylvania during fiscal 1992, in connection with the negotiation of a new contract. Management personnel total approximately 270 supervisory/clerical employees, none of whom are unionized. The Company believes that all of its employee and union relations are satisfactory.
Government Regulation
The Company is subject to various laws governing employee safety and environmental matters. The Company believes it is in material compliance with all such laws and does not anticipate large expenditures in fiscal 1995 to comply with any applicable regulations. The Company is subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the quantity of certain specified substances that may be emitted into the air, discharged into interstate and intrastate waters, and otherwise disposed of on and off the properties of the Company. The Company has not incurred significant expenditures in order to comply with such laws and regulations, nor does it anticipate continued compliance therewith to materially affect its earnings or competitive position.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 2, 1992, Mr. Lawrence M. Powers, a former Director and former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of its Directors and major shareholders. In the suit, Mr. Powers claims that, by reason of the Company's April 30, 1992, debt-to-equity restructuring, (which he had previously, on April 13, 1992, voted in favor of as a Director) the Company should adjust his existing stock options, provide for the issuance of 167,744 additional shares of common stock to him, and award to him attorney's fees and interest. Mr. Powers seeks judgment against the Company and the other defendants: (1) in excess of $13 million plus punitive damages, (2) requiring the Company to issue him an additional 167,744 shares of common stock, (3) requiring an adjustment increasing his then outstanding options to purchase the Company's common stock from 1,871,201 shares to 4,080,000 shares, and (4) for attorney's fees and interest. In June 1993, in responding to the Company's request for summary judgment, the court ruled the Board of Director's decision to not adjust Mr. Powers' options was "final, binding and conclusive" unless Mr. Powers can establish the Board was not acting independently and that it could not have acted appropriately. Discovery was allowed to continue in the litigation. The Company believes that Mr. Powers' litigation is without merit and is defending against it vigorously.
The Company currently has no litigation with respect to any environmental matters.
