WILLIAMSVILLE, NY, August 27, 2012 – Tops Holding Corporation (“Tops” or the “Company”), the parent of Tops Markets, LLC, a leading supermarket retailer with 125 corporate and 5 franchise locations serving Upstate New York and Northern Pennsylvania, today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 (12-week period ended July 14, 2012).
“This was a strong quarter for Tops, with improved margins, sharply higher profitability and strong cash generation,” said Frank Curci, Tops President and CEO. “We are encouraged by our current trends and expect to build on this momentum throughout the remainder of the year as we continue promotional and marketing initiatives tailored to meet the shopping needs of our customers.”
On July 19, 2012, the Company announced an agreement with GU Markets LLC, an affiliate of C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc., to acquire 21 supermarkets in Upstate New York and Vermont. The transaction is expected to close during the fall of 2012 and is subject to customary closing conditions. The acquisition is expected to be funded using cash on hand.
Mr. Curci noted, “We believe this transaction is a natural strategic complement to our current footprint, and given our successful integration of the former Penn Traffic supermarkets, we are confident in our ability to seamlessly integrate these 21 supermarkets.”
Second quarter 2012 financial results highlighted by improved margins and significantly higher net income
Net sales of $562.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 were up slightly from net sales of $559.5 million in the fiscal 2011 second quarter (12-week period ended July 16, 2011).
Inside sales of $509.1 million were up 0.3%, or $1.7 million, from the prior-year second quarter, and reflect a 1.6% increase in same store sales. The increase in same store sales was largely attributable to the timing of the Easter holiday and our Monopoly® marketing promotion. The week following Easter, historically a very poor sales week, occurred during the 2012 first quarter versus the 2011 second quarter. Additionally, there was a change in timing of our Monopoly® marketing promotion, which ran from April through July in 2012, compared with January through April in 2011. Inside sales were negatively impacted by a significant decline in pharmacy sales, largely the result of the recent conversion of certain drugs from being brand only to having generic equivalents. This conversion had an estimated 50 basis points impact on same store sales. Inside sales were also impacted by the sale or closure of five of the acquired Penn Traffic supermarkets during the second half of 2011 and early January 2012 that contributed $9.8 million of inside sales during the second quarter of 2011.

Gasoline sales increased 2.1%, or $1.1 million, to $53.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared with the second quarter of 2011 resulting from a 5.5% increase in the number of gallons sold, which was primarily due to the addition of five new fuel stations since July 2011. This was partially offset by a 3.2% decrease in the retail price per gallon.
Gross profit for the second quarter was $160.3 million compared with $155.0 million in the prior-year period, an improvement of 80 basis points to 28.5% from 27.7%. The Company experienced a change in non-cash LIFO inventory valuation adjustments from expense of $2.8 million during the second quarter of 2011 to income of $1.4 million during the second quarter of 2012. Excluding the impact of LIFO adjustments, gross margin increased 10 basis points to 28.3% in the second quarter of 2012, reflecting a continuation of pricing improvements commenced in 2011, promotional spending changes and sales mix.
Total operating expenses decreased 2.4%, or $3.3 million, to $136.8 million compared with the second quarter of 2011, primarily due to a $1.9 million decline in utility costs and the $1.9 million impairment recognized during the prior-year period related to three acquired Penn Traffic supermarkets sold to Hometown Markets. The Company also benefited from its continued cost containment initiatives.
Operating income for the quarter was $23.6 million, or 4.2% of net sales, up sharply from $14.9 million, or 2.7% of net sales, in the prior-year period.
Rick Mills, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, noted, “We continue to execute several strategic initiatives to position the company to achieve sustainable and profitable sales growth over the long-term. We managed our promotional activity and merchandising efforts and continued to implement operational efficiencies in this uncertain economic environment, driving improvements in both gross and operating margin.”
Second quarter interest expense declined $0.6 million compared with the prior-year period on lower capital lease interest expense and reduced borrowings under the Company’s ABL facility.
Net income for the first quarter improved to $9.5 million from net income of $0.3 million in the 2011 second quarter.
Supplemental Reporting on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
To provide investors with greater understanding of its operating performance, in addition to the results measured in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), Tops provides supplemental reporting on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
Fiscal 2012 second-quarter EBITDA was $39.0 million, up $8.7 million, or 28.8%, from $30.3 million in the fiscal 2011 second quarter. Fiscal 2012 second-quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $37.8 million, an increase of 5.8% from $35.7 million in the fiscal 2011 second quarter.
See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a discussion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and the attached table for reconciliation to GAAP.
Year-to-date Results
For the 28-week period ended July 14, 2012, net sales were $1.27 billion, down $10.0 million, or 0.8%, from $1.28 billion in the prior-year period. Year-to-date inside sales decreased 1.5%, or $17.7 million, to $1.15 billion. This change reflects the sale or closure of five Penn Traffic supermarkets during the second half of 2011 and early 2012 that contributed $22.1 million of inside sales in last year’s period and a 0.4% decrease in same store sales. Inside sales were negatively impacted by a significant decline in pharmacy sales, largely the result of the recent conversion of certain drugs from being brand only to having generic equivalents. This conversion had an estimated 30 basis points impact on same store sales. Gasoline sales increased 6.9% to $118.1 million in the year-to-date period due a 3.9% increase in the number of gallons sold, largely the result of five new fuel stations since July 2011, and a 2.9% increase in the retail price per gallon.
Gross profit increased 0.8% to $360.2 million in the 2012 year-to-date period, and was 28.4% as a percentage of net sales, up 40 basis points over the comparable 2011 period. Excluding the impact of non-cash LIFO adjustments, gross margin improved 30 basis points to 28.5% due to the same factors that drove the improvement in the recent quarter.

Operating income for the 28-week period of fiscal 2012 increased to $42.9 million from $32.5 million in the 2011 period as decreased utility costs and benefits from our cost containment initiatives were realized. The $1.6 million decrease in interest expense during the 2012 28-week period was attributable to a $1.0 million reduction in capital lease interest expense and reduced borrowings under our ABL facility. Net income for the year-to-date period improved $11.9 million to $10.1 million compared to a net loss of $1.8 million in the prior-year period.
Strong Cash Generation
Cash provided by operating activities during the 28-week period ended July 14, 2012 was $60.7 million, an increase of $25.6 million, or 73.2%, from $35.1 million in the 28-week period ended July 16, 2011, primarily due to higher earnings and lower working capital requirements.
Year-to-date capital expenditures of $15.2 million were lower compared with the same period last year, largely due to timing. The Company expects to invest $35 million to $40 million in capital expenditures during the next 12 months.
As of July 14, 2012, the unused availability under our ABL facility was $74.4 million, after giving effect to $14.8 million of letters of credit outstanding thereunder.
Mr. Curci concluded, “As we move through the remainder of the year, we will manage expected inflation in key categories as efficiently as possible, while being mindful of consumers who are particularly cost conscious in the current economic environment. We are confident that we can continue to offer our customers better quality, service and value.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we provide information regarding EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items and items that we believe are non-recurring in nature and items that are not indicative of future performance. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and liquidity and they are among the primary measures used by management for planning and forecasting for future periods. We believe the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view results in a manner similar to the method used by management and makes it easier to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures. See the last page of this release for a quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which we believe is net income (loss).
