hhgregg, Inc. (“hhgregg” or “the Company”) today reported net income of $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, or net income per diluted share of $0.25, compared with net income of $13.9 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. Net income for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010 was $39.2 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $36.5 million, or $1.10 per diluted share for the twelve months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in fiscal fourth quarter net income per diluted share is the result of a decline in comparable store sales, a decline in gross margin, an increase in operating expenses and an increase in diluted average shares. The increase in operating expenses was due to start-up investments in warehouse, distribution, management training, pre-opening occupancy and relocation to support the new store growth in the Mid-Atlantic region and totaled approximately $4.4 million or $0.07 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Dennis May, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “We are extremely pleased with the manner in which our associates managed the business over the past twelve months. Despite the significant challenges in the economy and our industry, we managed to grow our sales and net income during fiscal 2010, while at the same time, reinvesting in our business to strategically position the Company for future growth. We are extremely excited to be opening a record number of new stores and entering the Mid-Atlantic region, of which 26 new stores have already opened during our first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2011. We believe our unique operating model, unwavering commitment to customer service, compelling market position, and strong balance sheet positions us well to continue to grow and gain market share in the years to come.”
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased 14.4% compared to the comparable prior year period to $417.3 million. Net sales for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010 increased 9.9% over the prior year to $1.5 billion. The increase in sales for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily attributable to the net addition of 21 stores during the past 12 months, partially offset by a 4.8% and a 6.6% decrease in comparable store sales, respectively.
Net sales mix and comparable store sales percentage changes by product category for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

The decrease in the comparable store sales for the video category, for both the three and twelve month period ended March 31, 2010, was due primarily to a decline in average selling prices, partially offset by an increase in units sold. Net sales in the appliance category experienced significant improvement across all categories in the three months ended March 31, 2010, resulting in positive comparable store sales of 3.7% for the three month period and a comparable store sales decline of 3.9% for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2010. For the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2010, the comparable store sales increase in the other category was due primarily to continued strength in the computer category, partially offset by a double digit comparable store sales decrease in the small electronics category.
Gross profit margin, expressed as gross profit as a percentage of sales, decreased 117 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and decreased 72 basis points for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010, compared with the respective prior year periods. The overall Company gross profit margin decrease for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2010 was attributable largely to the favorable buying opportunities in the prior year, which were a result of temporary excess supply in the market place that allowed the Company to purchase product from its vendors at reduced prices. In addition, the gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales decreased as a result of a shift in sales mix towards lower-margin notebook computers, which was slightly offset by an increase in the appliance sales mix which carries a higher than Company average gross margin percentage.
SG&A, as a percentage of net sales, increased 169 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and increased 54 basis points for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010, compared with the respective prior year periods. Included in SG&A are occupancy costs for the three and twelve month periods which increased approximately 33 and 47 basis points, respectively. The increase in occupancy as a percentage of sales is a result of the decline in comparable store sales and the additional rent expense for the new stores scheduled to open in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. In addition, SG&A expenses in the fourth quarter included approximately $4.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, of start-up investments in warehouse, distribution, and management training, pre-opening occupancy and relocation costs to support the new store growth in the Mid-Atlantic region. Expense and payroll control from various cost initiatives and the Company’s commissioned sales structure allowed the Company’s other SG&A categories as a percentage of sales to remain relatively consistent compared to the comparable prior year periods.
Net advertising expense, as a percentage of sales, increased 19 basis points during the three months and decreased 69 basis points during the twelve months ended March 31, 2010 when compared with the respective comparable prior year periods. The increase in the fourth quarter, as a percentage of sales, was driven largely by deleveraging due to the comparable store sales decline. The decrease in the fiscal 2010 net advertising expense, as a percentage of sales, was largely due to reduced advertising rates in the first half of the year. Advertising rates dropped significantly in November 2008, thus the Company lapped this reduction in rates in November 2009.
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2010 decreased from 43.7% and 41.7%, respectively, in fiscal 2009 to 37.7% and 38.3%, respectively, in fiscal 2010. The decreases in the effective income tax rate were primarily the result of reductions in the Company’s effective state income tax rates and a favorable adjustment to the prior year tax receivable.
hhgregg Establishes Fiscal Year 2011 Net Income Per Diluted Share Guidance Range of $1.35 to $1.45
Included in the Company’s guidance, are the following assumptions:
• | Net sales increase of 40% to 45% |
• | Comparable store sales growth of flat to positive 2% |
• | The opening of 40 to 45 new stores of which, 26 stores have already opened in the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2011. The remaining fiscal 2011 stores are expected to be opened by mid November |
• | Capital expenditures of approximately $42 million to $47 million |
• | An effective income tax rate of 39.0% to 39.5% |
• | First half start-up investments of $9.0 million to $10.0 million in warehouse, distribution, management training, pre-opening occupancy and relocation costs associated with the accelerated Mid-Atlantic expansion |
Jeremy Aguilar, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, “While we are pleased with our overall performance in the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal 2010, and encouraged by the improving consumer trends that have carried into the current fiscal year, the volatility that remains in the market keeps us cautiously optimistic about our fiscal 2011 guidance. Looking ahead, we believe hhgregg is well positioned to continue to gain market share, while simultaneously executing on our accelerated growth strategy.”
