The Gymboree Corporation Reports First Fiscal Quarter 2013 Results
SAN FRANCISCO, June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Gymboree Corporation (the "Company") today reported consolidated financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended May 4, 2013.
For the first quarter of the fiscal year ending February 1, 2014 ("fiscal 2013"), net sales were $292.8 million, a decrease of 1.7% compared to $297.8 million in net sales for the first fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013 ("fiscal 2012"). Comparable sales for the quarter decreased 5% versus the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $121.0 million, or 41.3% of net sales, compared to $121.8 million, or 40.9% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Excluding purchase accounting adjustments of $2.6 million and $3.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012, respectively, relating to the November 2010 acquisition of the Company by Giraffe Holding, Inc., an entity controlled by investment funds sponsored by Bain Capital Partners, LLC (the "Acquisition"), gross profit was $123.6 million, or 42.2% of net sales, and $124.8 million, or 41.9% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012, respectively (see Exhibit D).
SG&A expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $104.1 million, or 35.6% of net sales, compared to $91.7 million, or 30.8% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 include $3.9 million and $5.2 million, respectively, of additional costs resulting from the Acquisition, including the effect of purchase accounting adjustments and other adjustments. Excluding these charges, SG&A expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 was $100.3 million, or 34.2% of net sales, and $86.5 million, or 29.1% of net sales, respectively, which represents an increase of 510 basis points over fiscal 2012 (see Exhibit D).
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $2.8 million compared to net income of $4.2 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2012.
Net income (loss) attributable to The Gymboree Corporation before interest (income) expense, income tax (expense) benefit and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for other items ("Adjusted EBITDA"), for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 29.2% to $36.0 million compared to $50.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Adjusted EBITDA is not a performance measure under GAAP. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below. A reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to The Gymboree Corporation to Adjusted EBITDA presented herein is included in Exhibit D of this press release.
Balance Sheet Highlights
Effective March 2012, the Company's $225 million asset-backed loan ("ABL") facility was refinanced to take advantage of favorable rates and to extend the maturity date. There were no borrowings outstanding under the ABL as of the end of the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2013 and approximately $143.1 million of undrawn availability.
Cash at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $43.1 million compared to $88.3 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2012, reflecting the pay down of approximately $69.4 million of debt since the end of the first quarter last year.
Capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were $10.7 million, with the majority of the cash used to fund the opening of 23 new stores during the quarter.
Inventory balances at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were $180.8 million compared to $185.7 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Inventory cost on a per square foot basis was down 12%, while inventory units on a per square foot basis were down in the low single digits.
Fiscal 2013 Business Outlook
In fiscal 2013, the Company is focused on improving its inventory discipline, strengthening its product assortment and continuing to drive its growth opportunities of real estate, ecommerce and international. The Company's fiscal 2013 outlook is based on the current economic environment and trends, as well as its expectations for the balance of the year.
Full Year
For the full year, the Company continues to expect Adjusted EBITDA to grow modestly over last year and comparable sales to be flat to slightly positive. Based on this guidance, the Company expects to generate sufficient cash flow to service its debt and invest in the business to drive long term growth.
New Stores
During fiscal 2013, the Company plans to open approximately 100 new stores, with the majority being Crazy 8 stores.
Capital Expenditures
During fiscal 2013, the Company anticipates spending approximately $50 million for capital expenditures.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income (loss) attributable to The Gymboree Corporation before interest (income) expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") adjusted for other items, including loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash share-based compensation, loss on disposal/impairment of assets and sponsor management fees and expenses, as well as the impact of purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the Acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure but is considered an important supplemental measure of the Company's performance and is believed to be used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of similar retail companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and the Company's computation of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in the industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating income or net income, as a measure of operating performance or cash flow, or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. See Exhibit D for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss).
