CHICAGO, May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Claire's Stores, Inc. (the "Company") is one of the world's leading specialty retailers of fashionable accessories and jewelry at affordable prices for young women, teens, tweens, and girls ages 3 to 27. The Company today reported its financial results for the fiscal 2012 first quarter, which ended April 28, 2012. 

First Quarter Results

The Company reported net sales of $340.6 million for the fiscal 2012 first quarter, a decrease of $5.8 million, or 1.7%, compared to the fiscal 2011 first quarter.  An increase in new store sales was offset by a decrease in same store sales, the effect of store closures and foreign currency translation effect of our foreign location's sales.  Net sales would have decreased 0.1% excluding the impact from foreign currency rate changes. 

Consolidated same store sales decreased 3.0% in the fiscal 2012 first quarter consisting of a 1.7% decrease in North America and a 5.5% decrease in Europe. Our second quarter consolidated quarter-to-date same store sales performance is currently in the low positive single digits with North America slightly negative and Europe is in low to mid single digits positive.  We compute same store sales on a local currency basis, which eliminates any impact from changes in foreign exchange rates.

Gross profit percentage decreased 160 basis points to 48.9% during the fiscal 2012 first quarter compared to 50.5% during the comparable prior year quarter.  The decrease in gross profit percentage consisted of a 120 basis point increase in occupancy rate and a 40 basis point decrease in merchandise margin.  The increase in occupancy rate resulted primarily from the deleveraging effect of a reduction in same store sales.  The decrease in merchandise margin resulted primarily from an increase in markdowns, partially offset by an improvement in initial markup.   

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $8.1 million, or 6.4%, compared to the fiscal 2011 first quarter.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 180 basis points compared to the prior year.  Selling, general and administrative expenses would have decreased $5.9 million excluding the effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes. The majority of the remaining decrease is primarily due to lower compensation-related expenses, such as bonus, salaries and non-cash stock compensation, and a reduction in marketing costs.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fiscal 2012 first quarter was $50.5 million compared to $52.0 million in the fiscal 2011 first quarter.  The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before provision for income taxes, loss (gain) on early debt extinguishment, interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization, excluding severance, the impact of transaction-related costs and other non-recurring or non-cash expenses, and normalizing occupancy costs for certain rent-related adjustments.  Net loss for the 2012 first quarter was $19.9 million.  A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is attached.

At April 28, 2012, cash and cash equivalents were $169.7 million, including restricted cash of $4.4 million and the Company's Revolving Credit Facility continued to be undrawn.  In the 2012 first quarter, we paid down $489.8 million of indebtedness under the Company's senior secured term loan from the net proceeds of Senior Secured First Lien Notes.

The fiscal 2012 first quarter cash balance decrease of $4.7 million consisted of positive impacts of $50.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA and reductions for $29.0 million of cash interest, $14.0 million of capital expenditures, $7.8 million from seasonal working capital use and $4.4 million of tax payments and other cash items.

Net Income (Loss) Reconciliation to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before provision for income taxes, loss (gain) on early debt extinguishment, interest income and expense, impairment and depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted to exclude non-cash and unusual items.  Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as an important tool to assess our operating performance.  Management considers Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful measure in highlighting trends in our business and in analyzing the profitability of similar enterprises.  Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is effective, when used in conjunction with net income (loss), in evaluating asset performance, and differentiating efficient operators in the industry.  Furthermore, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to potential investors and analysts because it provides insight into management's evaluation of our results of operations.  Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with "EBITDA" for the purpose of the covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, are not intended to represent cash flow from operations under U.S. GAAP and should not be used as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity.  Management compensates for the limitations of using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by using it only to supplement our U.S. GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.  Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

Some of the limitations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are:

  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash used for capital expenditures;
  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized often will have to be replaced and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements for such replacements;
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital requirements;
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash necessary to make payments of interest or principal on our indebtedness; and
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect non-recurring expenses which qualify as extraordinary items such as one-time write-offs to inventory and reserve accruals.

While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used as a measure of operations and the ability to meet indebtedness service requirements, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.

While management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors, the SEC may require that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA be presented differently or not at all in future filings we will make with the SEC.
