OFFICE DEPOT ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS:
| | Ø | | COMPANY SALES UP 5% |
| |
| | Ø | | NA RETAIL COMPS UP 4% |
| |
| | Ø | | BUSINESS SERVICES SALES UP 5% |
Delray Beach, Fla., October 19, 2005 —Office Depot, Inc. (NYSE: ODP), a leading global provider of office products and services, today reported sales of $3.5 billion for its fiscal third quarter ended September 24, 2005, up 5% over fiscal third quarter 2004. North American Retail Division comparable sales increased 4% for the quarter, and sales in the Business Services Division were up 5% over the same quarter of 2004.
Third quarter results show a loss of $48 million or $0.15 per share compared to earnings of $89 million or $0.28 per share in the same period of the prior year. The third quarter 2005 results include the effects of charges related to asset impairments, exit costs and other operating items previously announced on September 12, 2005 in our filing with the SEC on Form 8-K (“Third Quarter Charges”), as well as the incremental effects on compensation expense of our early adoption of SFAS 123R (“Option Expensing”). The Third Quarter Charges had a $0.50 per share negative impact on results, and Option Expensing negatively impacted results by $0.01 per share. Without the Third Quarter Charges and Option Expensing, our net earnings were $115 million1 or $0.36 per share1. This is an increase of 24% compared to an adjusted earnings per share for third quarter in the prior year of $0.291. The prior year number has been adjusted up by $0.01 per share to reflect charges of a comparable nature that were recorded in that period.
Return on net assets for the trailing four quarters was 7.2%, compared to 9.2% in the same period of the prior year. The Third Quarter Charges and Option Expensing negatively impacted the calculation of our current return on net assets by 280 basis points1.
On September 12, 2005, the Company announced a number of charges relating to asset impairments, exit costs and other operating items. This announcement followed a company-wide assessment of assets and commitments which began in the second quarter of 2005.

The pre-tax charge relating to current and future periods is currently expected to total $320.4 million, of which approximately $236.8 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2005 (Third Quarter Charge). The Company estimates that an additional $34.3 million of the total will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2005 with the remainder in years 2006 through 2008. In addition, the Company adopted SFAS 123R (Option Expensing) in the third quarter and recorded $5.0 million of incremental compensation expense in its results for the quarter.
For the quarter, gross profit as a percentage of sales was 30.0%, down from 31.3% in the same period last year. The Third Quarter Charges negatively affected margin by approximately 50 basis points. Other negative gross margin impact was primarily attributable to a decline in the International Division which more than offset improvements experienced in North American Retail.
Total operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 32.7% for the quarter, up from 27.3% for the same period in 2004. The Third Quarter Charges and Option Expensing negatively impacted operating expenses by approximately 640 basis points, somewhat offset by improvements realized in both general and administrative expenses as well as store and warehouse operating and selling expenses, driven by advertising cost efficiencies, increased sales leverage, and lower warehouse costs.
Operating results for the quarter reflect a loss of $97 million as compared to operating earnings of $134 million in the third quarter of the prior year. The Third Quarter Charges and Option Expensing, negatively impacted the current quarter’s operating results by a total of $242 million.
“We are pleased with the overall performance of North America this quarter,” said Steve Odland, Office Depot’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “North American Retail recorded its seventh consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales while growing its division operating profit by 12%1, after considering the impact of the Third Quarter Charges and Options Expensing. North American Business Services Division sales increased by 5% with division operating profit growing by 13%1, again after considering the impact of the Third Quarter Charges and Options Expensing. Our International Division results, however, are not where we would like them to be. Over time, we need to grow this business and deliver improved profitability.”
Mr. Odland continued, “The assessment of our assets and commitments that we completed during the quarter was intended to rationalize our balance sheet. We separately have launched an initiative to drive our overall cost structure lower. This effort naturally complements the positive results and continuing programs we have underway to drive our top line and increase shareholder value. We also elected to early adopt SFAS 123R during this quarter, in advance of the mandatory expensing of stock options beginning in the first quarter of 2006.”
DIVISION RESULTS
North American Retail
Third quarter sales in the North American Retail Division increased 10% compared to the same period last year. Comparable store sales in the 885 stores in the U.S. and Canada that have been open for more than one year increased 4% for the third quarter.
North American Retail had an operating loss of $30 million for the third quarter of 2005 as compared to an operating profit of $107 million in the prior year, and as a percentage of sales was a negative 1.8% versus a positive 7.2% in the prior year. The Third Quarter Charges and Option Expensing negatively impacted operating results by $156 million for the quarter or 950 basis points. Cost efficiencies and improved gross margin were realized despite the negative effects of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. At the end of the quarter, seven stores were closed as a result of the hurricanes and have been excluded from comparable store sales.
2
During the third quarter, the Company opened 13 new stores, while closing 15 office supply stores. At the end of the third quarter, Office Depot operated a total of 1,009 office products superstores throughout the U.S. and Canada.
North American Business Services
North American Business Services sales increased by 5% in the third quarter compared to the same period last year. We experienced increased sales in the contract channel, particularly large- and national- accounts.
Division operating profit was $60 million for the third quarter, as compared to $102 million in the prior year, and as a percentage of sales was 5.5% versus 9.9% in the same period in the prior year. The Third Quarter Charges and Option Expensing negatively impacted operating profit by a total of $56 million or approximately 510 basis points. Although North American Business Services division was also negatively impacted by the effects of hurricanes Katrina and Rita including the closure of a distribution center for approximately one month, other improvements in operating cost efficiencies more than compensated for their impact on the business results for the quarter.
International
International third quarter sales decreased 4% in U.S. dollars (a decrease of 3% in local currencies) compared to the same period in 2004. The change in exchange rates from the corresponding prior year period decreased sales reported in U.S. dollars by approximately $5 million for the quarter. Sales, as measured in local currencies, declined in most major geographic markets.
Division operating profit was $59 million or 7.6% as a percentage of sales as compared to $97 million or 12% as a percentage of sales in the prior year’s third quarter. The Third Quarter Charges and Option Expensing negatively impacted operating profit by a total of $10 million or 130 basis points. Gross margin experienced substantial declines because of continued pricing pressure in key product categories and increased competitive activity. For the quarter, the International division operating profit, when translated into U.S. dollars, was negatively impacted from foreign exchange rates by $1 million during the quarter when compared to the same period in the prior year.
Effective Tax Rate
The effective annual tax rate for the Company is projected to be 32.8%. In the third quarter, we recognized tax benefits from closure of various world-wide audits, partially offset by tax expense on additional repatriation of foreign earnings.

In addition to the amounts recognized in the third quarter, we expect to recognize an additional $34.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2005 and $49.3 million over the years 2006 through 2008, for total current and future charges of $320.4 million. The per share impact of the amount recognized in the third quarter of 2005 is based on 318.4 million shares which include the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents for the third quarter.
Option Expensing
Our adoption of FAS 123R in the third quarter had an incremental and recurring impact of recognizing the fair value of options granted to employees. At the beginning of 2005, we changed the composition of our awards to include more restricted stock and less stock options. The impact of the restricted stock has been included in our results since the date of grant. During the third quarter, some previously-granted share awards were accelerated under their original terms; all such awards have now vested. The incremental and recurring impact of adopting FAS 123R for the quarter was approximately $5.0 million and similar amounts are expected in the fourth quarter and into 2006. The pre-tax impact of this $5.0 million on Division operating profit is a follows: North American Retail Division, $0.5 million, North American Business Services, $0.4 million, International Division, $0.6 million, and general and administrative expenses, $3.5 million. See our third quarter Form 10-Q for additional discussion.
