Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE:RAD) today reported operating results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 27, 2016.

For the fourth quarter, the company reported revenues of $8.3 billion, net income of $65.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, Adjusted net income of $76.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA of $383.0 million, or 4.6 percent of revenues. For the full year, the company reported revenues of $30.7 billion, net income of $165.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, Adjusted net income of $241.0 million or $0.23 per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA of $1,402.3 million, or 4.6 percent of revenues.

“Our positive fourth-quarter results helped us deliver a successful fiscal year that reflects the tremendous progress we’re making to expand our retail healthcare offering,” said Rite Aid Chairman and CEO John Standley. “In the fourth quarter, we generated nearly $40 million of growth in Adjusted EBITDA, including an increase in our Retail Pharmacy Segment and strong results from our new Pharmacy Services Segment. This was one of many key highlights of fiscal 2016, which was a transformational year that saw us acquire EnvisionRx, launch the ground-breaking wellness+ with Plenti program, complete our 2,000th Wellness store and exceed $30 billion in revenues for the first time.”

“We look forward to building upon this success and to continue delivering a higher level of care in the communities we serve. We thank our dedicated Rite Aid associates for their hard work in executing our strategy and providing an even better retail healthcare experience for our customers. We’re also excited about our opportunity to join forces with Walgreens Boots Alliance to further expand consumer access to health care as part of the first global, pharmacy-led health and wellbeing enterprise.”

Fourth Quarter Summary

Revenues for the quarter were $8.3 billion compared to revenues of $6.8 billion in the prior year’s fourth quarter, an increase of $1.4 billion or 20.8 percent. Retail Pharmacy Segment revenues were $6.8 billion and decreased 0.3 percent compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of a decrease in same store sales. Pharmacy Services Segment revenues were $1.5 billion.

Same store sales for the quarter decreased 0.6 percent over the prior year, consisting of a 0.8 percent decrease in pharmacy sales and a 0.4 percent decrease in front-end sales. Pharmacy sales included an approximate 241 basis point negative impact from new generic introductions. The number of prescriptions filled in same stores increased 0.1 percent over the prior year period. Prescription sales accounted for 68.1 percent of total drugstore sales, and third party prescription revenue was 97.9 percent of pharmacy sales.

Adjusted net income (which is reconciled to net income in the attached tables) was $76.1 million or $0.07 per diluted share compared to last year’s fourth quarter adjusted net income of $65.2 million or $0.06 per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA (which is reconciled to net income in the attached tables) was $383.0 million or 4.6 percent of revenues for the fourth quarter compared to $343.3 million or 5.0 percent of revenues for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA improved due to $34.2 million of Pharmacy Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA and an increase of $5.5 million in Retail Pharmacy Segment Adjusted EBITDA. The increase in Retail Pharmacy Segment Adjusted EBITDA was driven by an increase in front-end gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in pharmacy gross profit and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

In the fourth quarter, the company opened 3 stores, relocated 10 stores, remodeled 89 stores and expanded 1 store, bringing the total number of wellness stores chainwide to 2,042. The company also acquired 2 stores and closed 4 stores, resulting in a total store count of 4,561 at the end of the fourth quarter. The company also opened 3 clinics in the fourth quarter, bringing the total to 78.

Full Year Results

For the fiscal year ended February 27, 2016, Rite Aid had revenues of $30.7 billion compared to revenues of $26.5 billion in the prior year, an increase of $4.2 billion or 15.9 percent. Retail Pharmacy Segment revenues were $26.9 billion and increased 1.3 percent compared to the prior year primarily as a result of an increase in same store sales. Pharmacy Services Segment revenues were $4.1 billion from the date of the acquisition of EnvisionRx, which was June 24, 2015, through the end of the fiscal year.

Same store sales for the year increased 1.3 percent consisting of a 1.8 percent increase in pharmacy sales and a 0.2 percent increase in front end sales. Pharmacy sales included an approximate 221 basis point negative impact from new generic introductions. The number of prescriptions filled in same stores increased 0.5 percent over the prior year period. Prescription sales accounted for 69.1 percent of total drugstore sales, and third party prescription revenue was 97.8 percent of pharmacy sales.

Adjusted net income for fiscal 2016 was $241.0 million or $0.23 per diluted share compared to last year’s adjusted net income of $273.0 million or $0.27 per diluted share. The decline in adjusted net income resulted primarily from increased interest expense incurred in connection with the company’s acquisition of EnvisionRx and higher depreciation expense related to an increase in capital spending, partially offset by an increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA was $1,402.3 million or 4.6 percent of revenues for the year compared to $1,322.8 million or 5.0 percent of revenues for last year. Adjusted EBITDA improved due to $101.4 million of Pharmacy Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by a decrease of $21.9 million in Retail Pharmacy Segment Adjusted EBITDA. The decrease in Retail Pharmacy Segment Adjusted EBITDA was due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses related to our higher level of sales and a decrease in pharmacy gross profit, partially offset by an increase in front-end gross profit.

Operating cash flow for fiscal 2016 was approximately $1.0 billion, due to strong Adjusted EBITDA results and contributions from working capital management. Working capital primarily benefited from a reduction in store level pharmacy inventory. The company used this operating cash flow to fund capital expenditures and to reduce borrowings following the acquisition of EnvisionRx.

For the year, the company relocated 20 stores, acquired 6 stores, remodeled 412 stores, expanded 2 stores, opened 5 stores, and closed 20 stores. The company also opened 23 clinics during the fiscal year.

As previously announced on October 27, 2015, Rite Aid and Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (“WBA”) entered into a definitive agreement under which WBA will acquire all outstanding shares of Rite Aid for $9.00 per share in cash, for a total enterprise value of approximately $17.2 billion, including acquired net debt. The board of directors of both companies and Rite Aid’s shareholders have approved the transaction, which is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, the receipt of approval under applicable antitrust laws and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of calendar 2016.

Given the agreement with WBA described above, and as is customary for transactions of this type, Rite Aid does not intend to provide earnings guidance for fiscal 2017.

Rite Aid is one of the nation’s leading drugstore chains with 4,561 stores in 31 states and the District of Columbia. Information about Rite Aid, including corporate background and press releases, is available through Rite Aid’s website at www.riteaid.com.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company separately reports financial results on the basis of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. See the attached tables for a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is a comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share excludes amortization of EnvisionRx intangible assets, acquisition-related costs, loss on debt retirements and LIFO adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding the impact of income taxes (and any corresponding adjustments 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 our customer loyalty program).
