Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On September 18, 2014, Rite Aid Corporation (the “Company”) reported its financial position and results of operations as of and for the thirteen and twenty-six week period ended August 30, 2014. The press release includes a non-GAAP financial measure, “Adjusted EBITDA.” The Company uses this non-GAAP measure in assessing its performance in addition to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes adjusted EBITDA serves as an appropriate measure to be used in evaluating the performance of its business and helps its investors better compare the Company’s operating performance with the operating performance of its competitors. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding the impact of income taxes (and any corresponding adjustment to tax indemnification asset), interest expense, depreciation and amortization, LIFO adjustments, charges or credits for facility closing and impairment, inventory write-downs related to store closings, debt retirements and other items (including stock-based compensation expense, sale of assets and investments and revenue deferrals related to the Company’s customer loyalty program). The Company references this non-GAAP financial measure frequently in its decision-making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates internal comparisons to the historical operating performance of prior periods and external comparisons to competitors’ historical operating performance. In addition, incentive compensation is based in part on Adjusted EBITDA and the Company bases certain of its forward-looking estimates and budgets on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative measure of, operating results or of cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by other companies or similar terms in the Company’s debt facilities. The press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 includes a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

RITE AID REPORTS NET INCOME OF $127.8 MILLION AND ADJUSTED EBITDA

OF $364.2 MILLION FOR SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2015

 

·Second Quarter Net Income of $127.8 Million and Net Income per Diluted Share

of $0.13, Compared to Prior Year’s Second Quarter Net Income of $32.8 Million

and Net Income per Diluted Share of $0.03

 

·Second Quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $364.2 Million Compared to Adjusted EBITDA

of $341.6 Million in Prior Second Quarter

 

·Rite Aid Lowers Guidance for Fiscal 2015

 

CAMP HILL, Pa. (Sept. 18, 2014) - Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE: RAD) today reported operating results for its fiscal second quarter ended August 30, 2014. The company reported revenues of $6.5 billion, net income of $127.8 million or $0.13 per diluted share, and Adjusted EBITDA of $364.2 million, or 5.6 percent of revenues.

 

“In the second quarter, our team of dedicated Rite Aid associates worked together to execute our strategy and deliver results that reflect growth in net income and Adjusted EBITDA and significant increases in same-store sales and prescription count,” said Rite Aid Chairman and CEO John Standley. “Heading forward, while we believe that our key initiatives will continue to drive top-line growth, we are revising our guidance based on lower than anticipated pharmacy margin in the second half of Fiscal 2015. As we navigate these headwinds, we will remain focused on growing our business, generating continued operational efficiencies and positioning our associates to deliver a consistently outstanding experience for our customers.”

 

Second Quarter Summary

 

Revenues for the quarter were $6.5 billion versus revenues of $6.3 billion in the prior year’s second quarter. Revenues increased 3.9 percent primarily as a result of an increase in pharmacy same store sales.

 

Same store sales for the quarter increased 4.1 percent over the prior year, consisting of a 1.1 percent increase

in front-end sales and a 5.6 percent increase in pharmacy sales. Pharmacy sales included an approximate

199 basis point negative impact from new generic introductions. The number of prescriptions filled in same stores increased 3.7 percent over the prior year period. Prescription sales accounted for 68.8 percent of total drugstore sales, and third party prescription revenue was 97.5 percent of pharmacy sales.

Net income was $127.8 million or $0.13 per diluted share compared to last year’s second quarter net income of $32.8 million or $0.03 per diluted share. The improvement in net income resulted primarily from an increase in Adjusted EBITDA, a lower LIFO charge due to pharmacy inventory reductions and a $62.2 million loss on debt retirement in the prior year, partially offset by higher income tax expense.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (which is reconciled to net income on the attached table) was $364.2 million or

5.6 percent of revenues for the second quarter compared to $341.6 million or 5.4 percent of revenues for the like period last year. Adjusted EBITDA improved due to an increase in front-end and pharmacy gross profit, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses related to our higher level of sales. The improved pharmacy gross profit was driven by the increase in pharmacy revenues and the impact on inventory valuation related to the company’s transition to its new drug purchasing and delivery arrangement with McKesson, partially offset by lower reimbursement rates. The net effect on inventory valuation resulting from the transition to the outsourced McKesson arrangement is not expected to be material to Fiscal 2015 results, but did increase gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA and pre-tax income by approximately $40 million in the second quarter.

 

In the second quarter, the company relocated 5 stores, remodeled 117 stores and expanded 1 store, bringing the total number of wellness stores chainwide to 1,433. The company also opened 1 store and closed 10 stores, resulting in a total store count of 4,572 at the end of the second quarter.

 

Rite Aid Lowers Fiscal 2015 Guidance

 

Based upon current estimates for reimbursement rates and anticipated lower profitability from new generics and generic drugs that recently lost exclusivity, the company is expecting decreases in pharmacy margin in the second half of Fiscal 2015 as compared to its prior estimates and therefore is lowering its guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, net income and net income per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA (which is reconciled to net income on the attached table) is expected to be between $1.200 billion and $1.275 billion. Net income is expected to be between $223.0 million and $333.0 million and income per diluted share between $0.22 and $0.33. The company is also narrowing guidance for sales and same store sales. Sales are expected to be between $26.0 billion and $26.3 billion and same store sales to range from an increase of 3.00 percent to an increase of 4.00 percent over Fiscal 2014. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $525 million.
