ATLANTA, July 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Aaron's, Inc. (NYSE: AAN), a leader in the sales and lease ownership and specialty retailing of furniture, consumer electronics, home appliances and accessories, today announced revenues and earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

For the second quarter of 2015, revenues increased 16.1% to $769.0 million compared with $662.5 million for the second quarter of 2014. Net earnings increased to $40.5 million compared with $8.5 million in the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share were $.56 compared with $.12 for the same quarter last year. EBITDA for the Company was $89.8 million compared with $43.0 million a year ago.

On a non-GAAP basis, net earnings for the second quarter of 2015 increased to $44.7 million compared with $27.2 million for the same period in 2014, and earnings per share assuming dilution increased to $.61 compared with $.37 a year ago. In 2015, non-GAAP net earnings and diluted earnings per share exclude the effects of amortization expense resulting from the acquisition of Progressive. In 2014, in addition to Progressive amortization, non-GAAP results exclude the effects of certain one-time Progressive transaction costs, financial advisory and legal costs related to addressing strategic matters and restructuring charges related to store closures. See "Use of Non-GAAP Information" and the related non-GAAP reconciliation accompanying this press release.

"The second quarter demonstrated our organization's ability to grow revenues and increase EBITDA at double-digit rates," said John Robinson, Chief Executive Officer of Aaron's, Inc. "Our core business achieved an increase in profit margin due to improved expense and inventory control. We're disappointed that core revenues were not stronger in the quarter but remain optimistic that recent initiatives will drive better year-over-year comps in the future."

"Progressive delivered an outstanding quarter with strong revenues and improved operating margins," continued Mr. Robinson.  "Our pipeline of new retailers is robust, and we're beginning to reap real benefits from the integration of the two businesses. Overall, the opportunity to grow Progressive remains exciting, and we'll maintain discipline in our core business until revenue initiatives gain more traction," Mr. Robinson said.

Financial Summary

During the first six months of 2015, revenues increased 27.5% to $1.591 billion compared with $1.248 billion for the first six months of 2014. Net earnings were $89.8 million versus $46.8 million last year. Diluted earnings per share were $1.23 compared with $.64 per share a year ago.

EBITDA for the Company increased 62.2% to $193.5 million for the six months of 2015 compared with $119.3 million a year ago. On a non-GAAP basis, net earnings for the first six months of 2015 were $98.1 million compared with $66.7 million for the same period in 2014, and earnings per share assuming dilution were $1.35 compared with $.92 a year ago.

Aaron's Inc., which includes Progressive, had 1,525,000 customers at the end of June 2015 versus 1,398,000 last year, a 9.1% increase. The Company ended the second quarter of 2015 with $91.1 million in cash compared with $3.5 million at the end of 2014. Debt was reduced to $494.9 million at June 30, 2015 from $606.1 million at December 31, 2014.

Core Results

Revenues of Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership division decreased 3.9% in the second quarter of 2015 to $496.7 million compared with $516.9 million in revenues in the second quarter of 2014. Sales and lease ownership revenues for the first six months of 2015 decreased 3.0% to $1.049 billion compared with $1.082 billion for the same period a year ago.

HomeSmart division revenues were $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2015, a 3.1% decrease from $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2014. HomeSmart revenues for the first six months of 2015 were $32.3 million versus $33.3 million for the same period a year ago, also a 3.1% decrease.

EBITDA for the core business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $53.8 million and $129.2 million, respectively. As a percentage of revenues, EBITDA was 10.5% for the three months and 11.9% for the first six months of 2015 compared to 5.5% and 9.4% for the same periods a year ago. Margin improvement in the core business was driven by the Company's price, inventory reduction, and cost initiatives. Write offs for damaged, lost or unsaleable merchandise were 3.6% of revenues in the quarter.

Same store revenues (revenues earned in Company-operated stores open for the entirety of both quarters) decreased 4.4% during the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014, and customer counts on a same store basis were down 3.7%. Company-operated Aaron's stores had 1,053,000 customers and franchised stores had 579,000 customers at the end of the quarter, a 3.1% decline in total customers from the end of the second quarter a year ago (customers of franchisees are not customers of Aaron's, Inc.).

Progressive Results

Progressive's revenues in the second quarter of 2015 were $255.9 million and $507.6 million for the first six months. EBITDA for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 was $36.0 million and $64.3 million, respectively. As a percentage of revenues, EBITDA was 14.0% for the second quarter and 12.7% for the first six months of 2015. Write offs for damaged, lost or unsaleable merchandise were 6.1% of revenues.

Progressive had 473,000 customers at June 30, 2015. Progressive's results of operations beginning on its acquisition date of April 14, 2014 were included in the Company's financial statements for the second quarter of 2014.

The strength of Progressive's EBITDA margin in the second quarter was driven by strong lease portfolio performance, improved collection metrics, and increasing leverage on fixed operating expenses. Invoice volume per active door grew 28%.

Components of Revenue

Consolidated lease revenues and fees for the second quarter and six months of 2015 increased 19.5% and 33.9%, respectively, over the comparable prior year periods. Franchise royalties and fees decreased 4.5% in the second quarter and 5.3% for the first six months of 2015 compared with the same periods in 2014. The decrease in the Company's franchise royalties and fees are primarily the result of a decrease in revenues of the Company's franchisees. Franchisees had revenues of $237.1 million during the second quarter and $497.9 million for the six months of 2015, decreases of 2.3% and 3.1%, respectively, from the comparable 2014 periods. Same store revenues and customer counts for franchised stores were down 1.6% and 2.2%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2015 compared with the same quarter last year (revenues and customers of franchisees, however, are not revenues and customers of Aaron's, Inc.). Non-retail sales, which are primarily sales of merchandise to Aaron's Sales and Lease Ownership franchisees, increased .7% for the second quarter and 2.8% for the six months of 2015 compared with the same periods last year.

Store Count

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company opened four Company-operated Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership stores and three franchised stores. The Company acquired seven Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership stores from franchisees and sold four Company-operated Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership stores to franchisees, one of which was merged with an existing franchised location. Twenty-five Company-operated Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership stores and three franchised Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership stores were closed during the quarter. The Company also completed a six store swap with a third party during the quarter and merged the acquired stores with existing locations.

At June 30, 2015, the Company had 1,211 Company-operated Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership stores, 784 franchised Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership stores, 83 Company-operated HomeSmart stores, and two franchised HomeSmart stores. The total number of stores open at June 30, 2015 was 2,080.

2015 Outlook

The Company is updating its EBITDA and diluted earnings per share guidance for the full year 2015. No change is being made to the revenue guidance previously published on April 24, 2015. Diluted earnings per share is presented both on a GAAP basis and on a non-GAAP basis that excludes Progressive-related intangible amortization.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:

This press release presents the Company's net earnings and diluted earnings per share in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and in a format that is not in accordance with GAAP due to the exclusion of $6.6 million in Progressive-related intangible amortization expense in the second quarter of 2015 and $13.2 million for the six months of 2015, as well as the exclusion of certain 2014 charges as presented and described in previous releases and as shown in this press release for comparative purposes.

Management regards the amortization expense relating to the Company's acquisition of Progressive as a special charge not arising out of the ordinary course of business. Management believes that presentation of net earnings and diluted earnings per share excluding this adjustment is useful because it gives investors supplemental information to evaluate and compare the Company's underlying operating performance from period to period.

Non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as the Company's GAAP basis net earnings and diluted earnings per share and the GAAP operating income of the Company's segments, which are also presented in the press release. Please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K furnishing this earnings release to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on the date hereof for further information on our use of non-GAAP financial measures.
