- First Quarter Net Income of $13.1 Million, or $0.17 Per Diluted
Share NAPERVILLE, Ill., April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
OfficeMax Incorporated (NYSE:OMX) today announced the results for
its first quarter ended March 28, 2009. Total sales decreased 17.0%
in the first quarter of 2009 to $1,911.7 million compared to the
first quarter of 2008. Net income (available to OfficeMax common
shareholders) decreased in the first quarter of 2009 to $13.1
million, or $0.17 per diluted share, from $62.4 million, or $0.81
per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008. Sam Duncan,
Chairman and CEO of OfficeMax, said, "Although our financial
results declined in the first quarter versus the prior year period,
we continued to make improvements to our business and to contain
costs. We believe the actions we have been taking significantly
benefited our company's performance this quarter. We improved
Retail segment operating expense as a percentage of sales compared
to the first quarter of 2008 as a result of reorganizing our
management, more efficient execution, and tighter cost controls.
Our efforts to streamline our business are enabling us to operate
profitably and preserve cash and liquidity to carry us through this
very challenging economic environment." Results for the first
quarter of 2009 and 2008 included certain charges and income that
are not considered indicative of core operating activities. First
quarter 2009 results included a $9.9 million pre-tax charge related
to Retail store closures in the U.S. and Mexico, and a pre-tax
benefit of $2.5 million recorded as other income related to tax
distributions from the company's investment in Boise Cascade,
L.L.C. First quarter 2008 results included a pre-tax $20.5 million
benefit recorded as other income related to tax distributions from
the company's investment in Boise Cascade, L.L.C., which was partly
offset by a $4.2 million pre-tax charge related to the
consolidation of manufacturing facilities in New Zealand and
employee severance for restructuring the Retail field and ImPress
print and document services management organization. Excluding the
items described above, adjusted net income in the first quarter of
2009 was $17.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to
adjusted net income of $52.6 million, or $0.68 per diluted share in
the first quarter of 2008. The company has calculated adjusted
income and earnings per share which are non-GAAP financial measures
that exclude the effect of certain charges and income described in
footnotes to the accompanying financial statements. A
reconciliation to the company's GAAP financial results is included
in this press release. Contract Segment Results OfficeMax Contract
segment sales decreased 22.4% (15.4% after adjusting for the
foreign currency exchange impact) to $927.6 million in the first
quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008, reflecting a
U.S. Contract operations sales decline of 18.9%, and an
International Contract operations sales decline of 30.1% in U.S.
dollars (a sales decrease of 7.6% in local currencies). U.S.
Contract sales in the first quarter reflect weaker sales from
existing corporate accounts and our continued discipline in account
acquisition. Contract segment gross margin decreased to 21.0% in
the first quarter of 2009 from 22.7% in the first quarter of 2008,
primarily due to softer market conditions and a sales mix shift to
a higher percentage of lower-margin consumable items. Contract
segment operating expense as a percentage of sales increased to
18.7% in the first quarter of 2009 from 17.5% in the first quarter
of 2008, primarily due to deleveraging of fixed operating expenses
from lower sales. Contract segment adjusted operating income
decreased to $21.5 million, or 2.3% of sales, in the first quarter
of 2009 compared to adjusted operating income of $62.0 million, or
5.2% of sales, in the first quarter of 2008. Retail Segment Results
OfficeMax Retail segment sales decreased 11.2% to $984.1 million in
the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008,
reflecting a same-store sales decrease of 12.7%, partially offset
by sales from new stores. Retail same-store sales for the first
quarter of 2009 declined across all major product categories
primarily due to weaker small business and consumer spending.
Retail segment gross margin decreased to 27.5% in the first quarter
of 2009 from 28.5% in the first quarter of 2008, primarily due to
deleveraging of fixed occupancy costs from the same-store sales
decrease and new stores, and a sales mix shift to a higher
percentage of lower-margin technology category sales, partially
offset by improved margins on certain products. Retail segment
operating expense as a percentage of sales was 24.9% in the first
quarter of 2009 compared to 25.7% in the first quarter of 2008, and
reflects reduced payroll, targeted cost controls, and reduced
depreciation expense as a result of store impairment charges
incurred in 2008; partially offset by deleveraging of fixed
operating expenses from lower sales. Retail segment adjusted
operating income decreased to $25.3 million, or 2.6% of sales, in
the first quarter of 2009 from adjusted operating income of $31.2
million, or 2.8% of sales, in the first quarter of 2008. OfficeMax
ended the first quarter of 2009 with a total of 1,020 retail
stores, consisting of 939 retail stores in the U.S. and 81 retail
stores in Mexico. During the first quarter of 2009, OfficeMax
opened 6 retail stores in the U.S., and closed 6 stores in the U.S.
and 2 in Mexico. For the full year 2009, OfficeMax expects to open
up to 12 retail stores, and to close between 15 and 25 retail
stores. Corporate and Other Segment Results The OfficeMax Corporate
and Other segment includes support staff services and certain other
expenses that are not fully allocated to the Retail and Contract
segments. Corporate and Other segment operating expense was $9.4
million in the first quarter of 2009. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of March 28, 2009, OfficeMax had total debt of $342.2 million,
excluding $1,470.0 million of timber securitization notes, which
have recourse limited to the timber installment notes receivable
and related guarantees. As of March 28, 2009, OfficeMax had $149.3
million in cash and cash equivalents, and $486 million in available
(unused) borrowing capacity under its $700 million revolving credit
facility. The company's unused borrowing capacity as of March 28,
2009 reflects an available borrowing base of $551 million, no
outstanding borrowings, and $65 million of letters of credit issued
under the revolving credit facility. During the first quarter of
2009, OfficeMax generated $3.1 million of cash from operations, a
decrease from the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to lower net
earnings and the timing and associated decrease of payables and
accruals, mitigated by reduced inventory levels. OfficeMax invested
$10.9 million for capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2009
compared to $33.3 million in the first quarter of 2008. OfficeMax
expects capital expenditures for full year 2009 to be in the range
of $50 million to $70 million. Outlook In the near-term, April
sales trends, including the negative impact of the timing of the
Easter holiday, are more unfavorable compared to the first quarter
trends. With respect to the full year, given the projected weak
economic outlook, OfficeMax remains cautious in its expectations
for 2009. The company expects sales to decline in 2009 on a
year-over-year basis as a result of the difficult economic
environment. In addition, the company is cycling significant
expense reductions completed in 2008. As a result of these factors,
and based on the current outlook, OfficeMax expects continued
deleveraging of costs and expenses for the remainder of 2009. Mr.
Duncan concluded, "We are committed to placing OfficeMax in a
stronger position for when the macro economy and industry trends
improve. To do this, we are executing important initiatives that
are centered on three key areas: growth, differentiation, and
productivity. Further, we are strictly managing capital and we
remain confident in our ability to generate positive cash flow for
the year. We believe that all of our efforts will help us navigate
the current environment and strengthen our business for the
long-term." Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements made in

GAAP Measures We evaluate our results of operations before certain
costs of store closure and severance related items, and income
related to our investment in Boise Cascade, L.L.C., as they are not
indicative of our core operating activities. We believe our
presentation of financial measures before, or excluding, these
items, which are non-GAAP measures, enhances our investors' overall
understanding of our recurring operational performance and provides
useful information to both investors and management to evaluate the
ongoing operations and prospects of OfficeMax by providing better
comparisons. Whenever we use non-GAAP financial measures, we
designate these measures as "adjusted" and provide a reconciliation
of non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP
financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related
GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP
financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure. In the preceding tables, we reconcile our non-GAAP
financial measures to our reported GAAP financial results for the
first quarter of both 2009 and 2008. Although we believe the
non-GAAP financial measures enhance an investor's understanding of
our performance, our management does not itself, nor does it
suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial
measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP
financial measures we use may not be consistent with the
presentation of similar companies in our industry. However, we
present such non-GAAP financial measures in reporting our financial
results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate
our operating results in a manner that focuses on what we believe
to be our ongoing business operations. DATASOURCE: OfficeMax
