Overview
"The most recent quarter represented a significant milestone for our company's multi-year journey to reposition itself for growth," commented Glenn Prillaman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we begin the second half of the year, we have now either completed or are simply refining the multiple initiatives that we believe have been necessary for long-term growth but very disruptive to our customers and management team over the last few years. With these distractions behind us, we are now completely focused on the execution of our operating models which should make us one of the most customer-friendly companies within our segment of the marketplace," continued Prillaman. "Specifically, our accomplishments in the quarter included the successful relocation of our corporate office, the opening of our new High Point showroom to wonderful reviews and a well-attended April Furniture Market and the introduction of our new staff to customers."
"New product introductions from the Stanley product line were very well received at the April Furniture Market. After achieving our desired service position in the previous quarter, we took an aggressive position on discounting existing designs to gain floor space at retail. While these discounts resulted in a decrease in gross margin, they will allow more consumers to see our product which should drive profitable growth in the back half of this year and into the next," said Prillaman.
Shipments and operating performance for the company's Young America brand improved slightly compared to prior year and prior quarter. "We have multiple opportunities for sales growth underway and, with so many disruptions behind us, we are now able to focus primarily on the growth that will lead this product line towards its break-even point," stated Prillaman.
In May, the company launched its new enterprise resource planning system, which represented the final step in its overall plan to reposition for growth. This is its largest systems initiative ever and the first major upgrade in over 20 years. "We feel strongly about our ability to differentiate not just through product design, marketing and operations, but also by becoming a more efficient and easier company with which to do business for our customers," said Prillaman. "Tackling this systems initiative has been a significant investment and all-consuming for many resources within our organization."
"The disruptions in the quarter related to the launch of our new enterprise system were challenging for us and our customers," said Prillaman. "With many issues resolved, our sales force is anxious to regain the momentum we experienced exiting April Market, and we enter the second half of the year in a strong position on new product, inventory levels and plant performance. We firmly believe that information surrounding the sale of our products will serve as a competitive advantage for our company," concluded Prillaman.
Balance Sheet
The company's office and showroom consolidation, the implementation of its new enterprise resources system and some minor capital spending in the Robbinsville plant consumed cash of $2.5 million in the quarter, as previously expected. The major change in working capital during the quarter was driven by the reduction in inventory on the Stanley product line. Cash, restricted cash and short-term investments at quarter-end were $24.5 million, down from $28.3 million at March 30, 2013, and $37.7 million at December 31, 2012.
Outlook
In closing, Prillaman remarked, "Our strategic changes are now in the rear view mirror. The office and showroom consolidation along with the launch of our new enterprise system were the last two strategic steps to reposition our company. Our team attends this month's Las Vegas Market focused on serving our customer and returning our business to a sustained level of stability and predictability. We believe our plan and its strategic initiatives have led us to take the appropriate actions to position us to return to growth in the coming periods," concluded Prillaman.

Note:
We have included the above reconciliation of reported financial measures according to GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that this reconciliation provides useful information that allows investors to compare operating results to those of other periods by excluding income from CDSOA proceeds and restructuring related charges. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.
