Nash Finch Reports 2ndQuarter 2007 Results
MINNEAPOLIS (July 19, 2007) — Nash Finch Company (NASDAQ: NAFC), one of the leading food distribution companies in the United States, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 16, 2007.
Financial Results
Total company sales for the second quarter 2007 were $1.064 billion compared to $1.071 billion in the prior-year quarter. Sales for the first twenty-four weeks of 2007 were $2.096 billion compared to $2.106 billion in the prior-year period. The relatively small sales decline is attributable to the 2006 closure of underperforming retail stores and customer attrition in the food distribution segment, offset by stronger sales in the military segment.
Net earnings for the second quarter 2007 were $9.6 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, as compared to net earnings of $4.1 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Net earnings for the first twenty-four weeks of 2007 were $14.9 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, as compared to net earnings of $8.0 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Net earnings for both years were affected by several significant items and are detailed in the table below.
Consolidated EBITDA1 for the second quarter 2007 was $33.3 million, or 3.1% of sales, compared to $27.3 million, or 2.6% of sales, for the prior year quarter. For the first twenty-four weeks of 2007, Consolidated EBITDA was $58.5 million, or 2.8% of sales, compared to $51.3 million, or 2.4% of sales, in the prior-year period. Consolidated EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial results in the attached financial statements.

1 | | Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in our credit agreement, and segment EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude extraordinary gains or losses, gains or losses from sales of assets other than inventory in the ordinary course of business, and non-cash charges (such as LIFO, asset impairments, closed store lease costs and share-based compensation), less cash payments made during the current period on non-cash charges recorded in prior periods. Consolidated EBITDA should not be considered an alternative measure of our net income, operating performance, cash flows or liquidity. The amount of consolidated EBITDA is provided as additional information relevant to compliance with our debt covenants. |

“I am very pleased with the improvement in our Consolidated EBITDA during the second quarter,” said Alec Covington, President & CEO of Nash Finch. “Our continued focus in 2007 has been on restoring the disciplines in our business which has resulted in improvements to gross margin, retail same store sales, as well as a reduction in SG&A expenses.”
The following table identifies the significant pre-tax items affecting our earnings and Consolidated EBITDA for the second quarter and year-to-date 2007 and prior year results:

(dollars in millions) | | 2007 | | 2006 | | Change | | 2007 | | 2006 | | Change |
Sales | | $ | 633.1 | | | $ | 639.5 | | | | -1.0 | % | | $ | 1,247.9 | | | $ | 1,260.0 | | | | -1.0 | % |

Percentage of Sales | | | 3.7 | % | | | 3.1 | % | | | | | | | 3.6 | % | | | 3.2 | % | | | | |
The decreases in the second quarter and year-to-date 2007 food distribution segment sales versus the comparable 2006 periods were primarily attributable to the annualized impact of lost customer sales in 2006 that have not yet been fully offset by new account gains achieved. The increase in the food distribution segment EBITDA for the second quarter and year-to-date periods was primarily due to significant improvements realized in gross margin.

“By better managing our inventories and vendor relationships we have seen nice improvement in our gross margin results while at the same time providing continued improvements in net cost of goods to our customers,” said Mr. Covington. “This continues to demonstrate how process improvements may favorably affect results and customer satisfaction when a consistent focus is placed on the details in this business”.
Military Distribution Results
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2nd | | 2nd | | | | | | | | |
| | Quarter | | Quarter | | % | | Year-to-date | | Year-to-date | | % |
(dollars in millions) | | 2007 | | 2006 | | Change | | 2007 | | 2006 | | Change |
Sales | | $ | 290.5 | | | $ | 278.7 | | | | 4.2 | % | | $ | 572.3 | | | $ | 541.5 | | | | 5.7 | % |
Segment EBITDA1 | | $ | 10.6 | | | $ | 10.3 | | | | 2.9 | % | | $ | 20.5 | | | $ | 19.5 | | | | 5.1 | % |
Percentage of Sales | | | 3.6 | % | | | 3.7 | % | | | | | | | 3.6 | % | | | 3.6 | % | | | | |
The military segment sales increases in both the second quarter and year-to-date comparisons continue to reflect strong sales both domestically and overseas. Military segment EBITDA margins as a percent of sales were relatively flat to the prior year.
Retail Results
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2nd | | 2nd | | | | | | | | |
| | Quarter | | Quarter | | % | | Year-to-date | | Year-to-date | | % |
(dollars in millions) | | 2007 | | 2006 | | Change | | 2007 | | 2006 | | Change |
Sales | | $ | 140.5 | | | $ | 152.6 | | | | -7.9 | % | | $ | 276.1 | | | $ | 304.0 | | | | -9.2 | % |
Segment EBITDA1 | | $ | 8.9 | | | $ | 9.0 | | | | -1.1 | % | | $ | 15.6 | | | $ | 15.7 | | | | -0.6 | % |
Percentage of Sales | | | 6.3 | % | | | 5.9 | % | | | | | | | 5.7 | % | | | 5.2 | % | | | | |
The retail segment sales decreases in both the second quarter and year-to-date comparisons are attributable to the closure of seven stores since the end of the second quarter 2006. Same store sales increased 0.3% in the second quarter 2007 and are flat year-to-date when compared to the same periods in 2006. The retail segment EBITDA for the quarter and year-to-date periods are relatively flat to the prior year periods.
Liquidity
During the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2007, the Company repaid $10.8 million and $25.3 million, respectively, of debt on its senior credit facilities. The Company continues to focus on effectively managing its working capital, reducing indebtedness, improving cash flow, and is currently in compliance with all of its debt covenants. The debt leverage ratio as of the end of the second quarter 2007 was 2.95, an improvement from 3.42 at the end of fiscal 2006. Availability on the Company’s revolving credit facility at the end of the quarter was $95.8 million.

Consolidated EBITDA should not be considered an alternative measure of our net income, operating performance, cash flows or liquidity. The amount of consolidated EBITDA is provided as additional information relevant to compliance with our debt covenants. |
