Exhibit 99.1
AMERICAN APPAREL, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND REAFFIRMS OUTLOOK FOR FULL YEAR 2012
LOS ANGELES, May 10, 2012 - American Apparel, Inc. (NYSE Amex: APP), a vertically integrated manufacturer, distributor, and retailer of branded fashion-basic apparel, announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
John Luttrell, Chief Financial Officer of American Apparel, Inc. stated, “We are pleased with our first quarter results and solid improvements across all of our businesses. Our wholesale and online channels both reported record sales for the quarter, and we are highly encouraged by the continued momentum in comparable sales from our retail stores, both domestic and international. Though the first quarter is historically our slowest quarter of the year, significant sales growth and the related leveraging of fixed costs helped us meaningfully reduce our EBITDA loss. We expect key initiatives in the areas of merchandise planning, supply chain, IT systems, and inventory control to drive further sales and expense improvements for the balance of the year. Accordingly, we reiterate our adjusted EBITDA guidance of $32 to $40 million for the full year 2012.”
Comparing the first quarter 2012 to the corresponding period last year, net sales increased 14% to $132.7 million on a 16% increase in comparable store sales in the retail business, a 17% increase in net sales in the wholesale business and a 5% decrease in the average number of stores.
The following delineates the components of the increases for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year:
|
| | |
| | 2012 First Quarter | 2011 First Quarter |
| Comparable Store Sales | 14% | (8)% |
| Comparable Online Sales | 25% | 27% |
| Comparable Store & Online | 16% | (5)% |
| Wholesale Net Sales | 17% | (4)% |
Gross margin for the first quarter of 2012 was 52.8% versus 54.8% for the corresponding period last year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by lower production volume that resulted in lower absorption of our fixed overhead costs, partially offset by lower yarn costs.
As a percent of revenue, operating expenses for the first quarter of 2012 decreased 590 basis points to 60.2% from 66.1% for the first quarter of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in corporate overhead expenses and the fixed cost leverage as a result of increased sales.
Other income for the first quarter of 2012 was $2.2 million versus an expense of $7.3 million in the comparable quarter last year. The change of $9.5 million was primarily due to a gain on extinguishment of debt, offset by increased interest expense due to a higher balance of outstanding debt.
The first quarter of 2012 net loss included an income tax provision of $0.3 million versus $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has discontinued recognizing potential tax benefits associated with current operating losses. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had available Federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $75.7 million and unused Federal and State tax credits of $16.2 million.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $7.9 million, or $0.07 per common share, compared to net loss for the first quarter of 2011 of $20.7 million, or $0.28 per common share. Weighted average shares outstanding were 105.7 million in the first quarter of 2012 versus 74.1 million for the first quarter of 2011.
As of May 1, 2012 there were approximately 105.9 million shares outstanding.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $2.1 million from a loss of $4.9 million in 2011's first quarter. For a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to consolidated net loss, please refer to the Table A attached to this press release.
2012 Outlook
For 2012, the Company is reiterating its adjusted EBITDA outlook of $32 million to $40 million. This outlook assumes net sales of $570 million to $590 million and a gross profit margin of 54% to 55%. Capital expenditures are estimated at $15.9 million for 2012, with a modest number of new store openings.

American Apparel, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Calculation and Reconciliation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA
(Amounts in thousands)
(unaudited)
In addition to its GAAP results, American Apparel considers non-GAAP measures of its performance. EBITDA, as defined below, is an important supplemental financial measure of American Apparel's performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before income taxes, interest and other expense (income), and depreciation and amortization. American Apparel's management uses EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the ability of its assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on its indebtedness, meet capital expenditure and working capital requirements, pay taxes, and otherwise meet its obligations as they become due. American Apparel's management believes that the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information regarding American Apparel's results of operations because they assist in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of American Apparel's business. American Apparel believes that EBITDA is useful to stockholders as a measure of comparative operating performance, as it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation and amortization and more reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance.
EBITDA also is used by American Apparel's management for multiple purposes, including:
to calculate and support various coverage ratios with American Apparel's lenders
to allow lenders to calculate total proceeds they are willing to loan to American Apparel based on its relative strength compared to its competitors
to more accurately compare American Apparel's operating performance from period to period and company to company by eliminating differences caused by variations in capital structures (which affect relative interest expense), tax positions and amortization of intangibles.
In addition, EBITDA is an important valuation tool used by potential investors when assessing the relative performance of American Apparel in comparison to other companies in the same industry. Although American Apparel uses EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of its business, there are material limitations to using a measure such as EBITDA, including the difficulty associated with using it as the sole measure to compare the results of one company to another and the inability to analyze significant items that directly affect a company's net income (loss) or operating income because it does not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate its business. In addition, American Apparel's calculation of EBITDA may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies and should be viewed in conjunction with measures that are computed in accordance with GAAP. American Apparel's management compensates for these limitations in considering EBITDA in conjunction with its analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net income (loss).
