Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2012 Financial Results
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation (NAS: OSH) , which operates neighborhood hardware and garden stores focused on paint, repair and the backyard, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2012 ended February 2, 2013.
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Results
Net sales for the 14-week fourth quarter were $153.0 million compared to $141.6 million for the 13-week fourth quarter in fiscal 2011. Comparable store sales(1) on a 13-week basis increased 1.6%. Net sales for the 53-week year in fiscal 2012 were $657.3 million compared to $660.5 million for the 52-week year in fiscal 2011. The 53rd week in fiscal 2012 contributed approximately $9.4 million to net sales. Comparable store sales(1) on a 52-week basis were essentially flat, decreasing 0.2%. These results were in line with expectations previously announced on February 15, 2013.
Net loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $33.6 million compared to net loss of $7.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Net loss for the 2012 quarterly period includes $39.3 million of non-cash charges comprised of $35.8 million for impairment of trade names, $2.5 million for impairment of store assets and $1.0 million non-cash loss recorded for accounting purposes in relation to sale leaseback transactions from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Net loss in fiscal 2012 was $118.4 million compared to net loss of $14.5 million in fiscal 2011. Net loss in fiscal 2012 includes $111.5 million of non-cash charges comprised of $96.1 million for impairment of trade names, $15.0 million for impairment of store assets and a net $0.4 million non-cash loss on sale of real property.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter was breakeven compared to $4.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2012 was $24.1 million compared to $45.0 million in the prior year. Results for fiscal 2012 include $5.0 million of incremental costs associated with the effect of having transitioned to a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holding Corporation and approximately $2.8 million of rent associated with sale-leaseback properties owned by the Company in fiscal 2011 and for which the Company did not pay rent (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a discussion of this non-GAAP measure and reconciliation to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and further information on its uses and limitations).
"The past year was one of significant progress in our ongoing efforts to reposition the Orchard brand and execute our strategic priorities," said Mark Baker, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are continuing to work productively with our lenders to reach an agreement that will address our capital structure and allow us to build a stronger platform from which we can deliver improved results. We continue to expect comparable store sales growth of 9% to 11% in the first quarter, reflecting our team's focused efforts during the important spring selling season. Looking at the balance of the year, we hope to carry this momentum into the second quarter and deliver solid operating results for fiscal 2013."
Fiscal 2013 Store Opening and Remodel Plans
To date in fiscal 2013, Orchard has opened new stores in Portland and Tigard, Oregon and one in Yorba Linda, California, and completed remodels on three locations, which bring Orchard's total number of neighborhood format stores to 16. Including these store openings, Orchard continues to expect to open at least four new stores and to remodel at least six existing locations, reaching a total of approximately 20 stores or more than 20% of the portfolio in the new format, by fiscal year-end.
Footnote
(1) Comparable store sales are calculated using sales of stores open at least twelve months and exclude E-commerce. Additionally, and because of an agreement the Company entered into with Sears Holdings Corporation on October 26, 2011 whereby the Company now sells appliances on a consignment basis and receives commission income for sales of such appliances and related protection agreements, fiscal 2011 comparable store sales also exclude approximately $13.2 million of net sales of Sears branded appliances in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012 comparable store sales exclude approximately $1.7 million of commission income in fiscal 2012.

Reconciliation of Net Loss to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA:
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating operating performance, the Company uses an Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), which is adjusted to exclude certain significant items as set forth below. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our business for comparable periods. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by investors or other third parties as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions as it excludes a number of important cash and non-cash recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP measurements. While Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator of operating performance because:
Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest, depreciation and amortization costs;
Management considers gain/loss on the sale of assets to result from investing decisions. Asset impairments and equity compensation expenses are excluded as they are non-cash charges; and
Other significant items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period.
