Central European Distribution Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2011 Results; Updates Full Year 2011 Net Sales and Fully Diluted Earnings per Share Guidance
MT. LAUREL, N.J., Aug. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Central European Distribution Corporation (NASDAQ: CEDC) today announced its results for the second quarter of 2011. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $212.0 million as compared to $175.6 million reported for the same period in 2010. Operating profit on a comparable basis for the second quarter 2011 was $20.7 million as compared to $44.7 million for 2010. On a comparable basis, CEDC announced a net loss, excluding discontinued operations of $6.7 million, or $0.09 per fully diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011, as compared to net income of $17.6 million, or $0.25 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2010. CEDC also announced net profit on a U.S. GAAP basis (as hereinafter defined), excluding discontinued operations, for the quarter of $3.0 million or $0.04 per fully diluted share, as compared to net loss of $70.1 million or $1.00 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2010.
Operating profit on a U.S. GAAP basis for the second quarter 2011 was $16.8 million as compared to $41.2 million for 2010. The number of fully diluted shares used in computing the earnings per share was 72.5 million for 2011 and 70.4 million for 2010. For a complete reconciliation of comparable net income to net income reported under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") and comparable operating profit to operating profit reported under U.S. GAAP, please see the section "Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures".
William Carey, President and CEO commented, "We were pleased to see the continued development of our Polish business delivering strong double digit volume growth of our domestic vodka, import and export volumes. Zubrowka Biala continues to take share and reached 6.4% market share in June 2011. We expect to see improvement in value versus volume growth in the 2nd half of the year and as we cycle through a normalized 4th quarter we believe we will start to see significant improvement in our top to bottom line performance."
William Carey, President and CEO continued, "Our Russian business continues to be challenged primarily as a result of the re-licensing process that is impacting spirit producers and wholesalers. We have successfully finished all of our re-licensing as a producer/wholesaler, but continue to see problems within our client base of wholesalers, who continue to struggle through this licensing process, which is affecting our route to market. We have signed up a significant number of new wholesalers to offset some of this disruption and would expect that by the end of August that these issues will be behind us. We are also seeing the effects of the new government regulations regarding payment of spirit excise. We believe the regulations will increase the transparency of the market. The new regulations take effect on September 1, 2011, and generate a 35% increase to the cost of spirit, as well as higher financing costs related to longer excise guarantees. We expect these additional costs to be approximately $11 million for the 2nd half of 2011. We believe these regulations will result in a faster consolidation of the market place, whereby smaller players might find it difficult to meet the more stringent requirements of these new government regulations."
William Carey, President and CEO continued, "We are also looking forward to the 2nd half of the year in Russia. We have numerous projects planned including a re-launch of our biggest brand, Green Mark and restyling of Zhuravli, as well closing one of our production plants and opening a new trading house in Siberia. These projects are all scheduled for the 3rd quarter of 2011. As we cycle off of a weak 2nd half of 2010, together with planned price increases in the 3rd quarter of 2011 and our expectation that relicensing issues with our customers will subside in the 3rd quarter of 2011, we expect to see strong comparable growth of top and bottom line during the 2nd half of 2011."
Due to the various factors as discussed above, the Company is revising its full year 2011 net sales guidance from $880-$1,080 million to $900-$1,050 million and its full year comparable fully-diluted earnings per share guidance from $1.05-$1.25 to $0.80-$1.00.
CEDC has reported net income and fully diluted net income per share in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis, referred to in this release as comparable net income. CEDC's management believes that the non-GAAP reporting giving effect to the adjustments shown in the attached reconciliation provides meaningful information and an alternative presentation useful to investors' understanding of CEDC's core operating results and trends. CEDC discusses results and guidance on a comparable basis in order to give investors better insight into underlying business trends from continuing operations. CEDC's calculation of these measures may not be the same as similarly named measures presented by other companies. These measures are not presented as an alternative to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a performance measure, and you should not place undue reliance on such measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures can be found in the section "Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" at the end of this press release.
CEDC is one of the largest producers of vodka in the world and Central and Eastern Europe's largest integrated spirit beverage business. CEDC produces the Green Mark, Absolwent, Zubrowka, Bols, Parliament, Zhuravli, Royal and Soplica brands, among others. CEDC currently exports its products to many markets around the world, including the United States, England, France and Japan.

A. Represents the net after tax impact of the foreign currency revaluation related to our USD and EUR liabilities as a majority of these have been lent down to entities that have the Polish Zloty or Russian Ruble as their functional currency Also includes the proportional net after tax impact of the foreign currency revaluation related to the foreign currency liabilities included in the earnings of the Russian Alcohol Group as it has the Russian Ruble as its functional currency. B. In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, which impacts the accounting treatment for convertible debt instruments that allow for either mandatory or optional cash settlements. FSP APB 14-1 will impact the accounting associated with our $310.0 million senior convertible notes. This FSP requires us to recognize additional non-cash interest expense on a retrospective basis, based on the market rate for similar debt instruments without the conversion feature. Furthermore, it requires recognizing interest expense in prior periods pursuant to the retrospective accounting treatment. FSP APB 14-1 has become effective beginning in our first quarter of 2009 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all presented periods, as applicable. C. Represents one-off restructuring costs associated with the restructuring the Russian Alcohol Group, composed primarily of write-offs of old stock. D. Includes elimination costs associated with the re-licensing in Russia. Primarily consists of costs related to facility improvements and preparation of facilities for inspection as well as accounts receivables related to wholesalers who did not obtain required wholesale licenses. |
