DALLAS, Oct. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ClubCorp, The World Leader in Private Clubs® (NYSE: MYCC). ClubCorp announces financial results for its fiscal-year 2014 third quarter ended September 9, 2014. The third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 consisted of 12 weeks.  All growth percentages refer to year-over-year progress.

As a reminder, ClubCorp closed its acquisition of Sequoia Golf on September 30, 2014.  Sequoia Golf results will not be consolidated until the fourth quarter, and as such have no bearing on ClubCorp's third quarter operating results.

Third Quarter Results:

  • Revenue increased $9.6 million to $204.5 million for the third quarter of 2014. Revenue was up 4.9% compared to the third quarter of 2013 due to revenue growth from both same store and newly acquired clubs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $3.9 million to $45.4 million.  Adjusted EBITDA was up 9.4% from increased revenue, improved variable labor expenses as a percent of revenue and the timing of a cash distribution from an equity investment.
  • Same Store sales grew $4.7 million, up 2.5% versus the prior year; while same store adjusted EBITDA grew $4.1 million, up 8.6% driven largely by stronger operating results at reinvented clubs and increased dues, a la carte and private event revenue.
  • Newly Acquired Clubs, clubs acquired in 2013 or 2014, contributed incremental revenue of $6.4 million and adjusted EBITDA of $0.7 million.
  • Reinvention. Since 2007, ClubCorp has reinvented 24 golf and country clubs and 18 business, sports and alumni clubs.  Reinvention is still underway at one same store golf and country club and two business, sports and alumni clubs.  Also, reinvention elements at two newly acquired clubs, Oak Tree and Cherry Valley, are now complete, while reinvention projects at Chantilly, the two Prestonwood properties and both TPC properties are underway and should be delivered next year.
  • Acquisitions. This year, ClubCorp has added more than 50 golf and country clubs, including the acquisition of Prestonwood Country Club in Dallas and Plano, Texas, TPC Piper Glen in Charlotte, North Carolina, TPC Michigan in Dearborn, Michigan and Sequoia Golf, a multi course owner-operator based in Atlanta, Georgia.  Additionally, this quarter ClubCorp opened an alumni club at the new Baylor University football stadium in Waco, Texas.  In total, ClubCorp's expanded portfolio now exceeds 200 owned or operated clubs.
  • Membership. Total memberships as of September 9, 2014 were 153,249, an increase of 5,734, up 3.9% over memberships at September 3, 2013.  Same store golf and country club memberships increased 1.0%, while total golf and country club memberships including newly acquired clubs increased 5.3%.  Same store business, sports and alumni memberships grew 0.1%, while total business, sports and alumni club memberships increased 1.9%.
  • O.N.E. and Other Upgrade Products. Participation has steadily increased with approximately 46% of our memberships now enrolled in one or more of our upgrade programs, compared to 42% a year ago and up from 35% in 2010 when O.N.E. program was first introduced.
  • Capital Structure.  The Company has amended its secured credit facilities creating one fungible term loan tranche of $901.1 million priced at L+350 bps, with a 1% LIBOR floor.
  • Free Cash Flow(1). Free cash flow over the last four quarters was $99.6 million, an increase from $70.7 million a year ago.

This earnings release includes metrics entitled Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow that are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). See "Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section for the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow and the reconciliation later in this earnings release to the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Segment Highlights:
Golf and country clubs (GCC):

  • GCC total revenue of $164.8 million for the third quarter of 2014 increased $8.8 million, up 5.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2013.
  • GCC adjusted EBITDA was $46.9 million, an increase of $3.7 million, up 8.6%.
  • GCC adjusted EBITDA margin was 28.4%, up 70 basis points versus the third quarter of 2013.
  • Same store revenue increased $2.8 million, up 1.8%, driven by increases in base and upgrade dues revenue, a la carte and private events revenue, partially offset by declines in golf operations and other revenue.
  • Same store adjusted EBITDA increased $2.8 million, up 6.6%.
  • Same store adjusted EBITDA margin was 29.4%, up 130 basis points versus prior year due to improved variable labor expenses as a percent of revenue and a reduction in property tax expense due to tax credits recognized in 2014.
  • Newly acquired golf and country clubs contributed incremental revenue of $6.0 million and adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million.

Business, sports and alumni clubs (BSA):

  • BSA revenue of $39.0 million for the third quarter of 2014 increased $2.3 million, up 6.4%, compared to the third quarter 2013 due largely to an increase in private events revenue, membership dues and a la carte revenue.
  • BSA adjusted EBITDA was $5.8 million, increased $1.1 million, up 22.8%.
  • BSA adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.8%, an increase of 190 basis points versus the prior year, primarily due to improved variable labor expenses as a percent of revenue and a favorable reduction in rent expense due to consolidation and relocation of City Club of LA during its reinvention last year.

Quotes:
Eric Affeldt, president and chief executive officer:  "By implementing our three pronged growth strategy we have delivered five consecutive quarters of record financial results.  Our results this quarter again demonstrate our ability to grow organically, reinvent our clubs and add new clubs via acquisition.  We have grown the business organically - not only have membership sales continued to accelerate in our golf and country club business, but also now in our business, sports and alumni clubs.  These results are a testament to the value members place on our lifestyle product and the capital invested to reinvent our clubs.  We continue to deliver superior returns on all of our reinventions and acquisitions.  We are very excited to have closed the acquisition of Sequoia Golf and the additional positive momentum we believe this will create for our business."

Curt McClellan, chief financial officer:  "We would like to thank our employee partners for delivering another strong quarter amidst the backdrop of the most significant acquisition we have ever made.  Our results this quarter would not be possible without their professionalism and ability to execute.  As we continue to execute our growth strategies, we appreciate lenders for their support and confidence resulting in additional financial flexibility for the acquisition of Sequoia Golf.  The return on incremental capital invested in our reinvention and acquisition strategies has delivered excellent results to date, and we expect nothing different from Sequoia Golf.  The acquisition of Sequoia Golf represents a significant inflection point in our company's history as we look forward to continued progress in each of our business segments."

Company Outlook:
The following guidance is based on current management expectations.  All financial guidance amounts are estimates subject to change, including as a result of matters discussed under the "Forward-Looking Statements" cautionary language which follows, and the Company undertakes no duty to update its guidance.  With the acquisition of Sequoia Golf, the Company is raising its full fiscal year guidance.  For fiscal year 2014, the Company now expects to deliver revenue in the range of $860.0 million to $880.0 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $191.0 million to $196.0 million.  As a reminder, ClubCorp's full year fiscal 2014 results consist of 52 weeks versus fiscal 2013 results that consisted of 53 weeks.  Thus, fourth quarter fiscal 2014 will have one less week than than the prior comparable quarter from fiscal 2013.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes, interest and investment income, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus or minus impairments, gain or loss on disposition and acquisition of assets, losses from discontinued operations, loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash and other adjustments, equity-based compensation expense and an acquisition adjustment.  Adjusted EBITDA is based on the definition of Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement governing ClubCorp's secured credit facilities and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We began using Adjusted EBITDA as our measurement of segment profit and loss in fiscal year 2014. Prior to this change, we utilized Segment EBITDA ("Segment EBITDA") as our measurement of segment profit and loss, but we also presented Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis. These two measurements are not materially different. This change was made to align our internal measurement of segment profit and loss with the measurement used to evaluate our performance on a consolidated basis and to reduce the number of non-GAAP measurements we report, thus simplifying our financial reporting. The manner in which we calculate Adjusted EBITDA has not changed.

In addition to Adjusted EBITDA, we are providing a Free Cash Flow (FCF) metric as an additional non-GAAP measure.  We believe a FCF metric aids investors in their evaluation of the Company's ability to generate cash, and determine the amount of capital available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to discretionary growth CAPEX (e.g. reinventions or acquisitions), or cash dividends.

This earnings release and accompanying financial tables include supplemental non-GAAP financial measures titled Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of net income or loss as determined under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations that should be considered before using as a measure to evaluate the Company's financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to varying methods of calculation.

The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure to the applicable and most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Special Note on Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this press release contains statements relating to future results (including certain projections and business trends) that are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are subject to the "safe harbor" created by those sections. The Company generally uses the words "may", "will", "could", "expect", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "plan", "intend", and similar expressions in this press release and any attachment to identify forward-looking statements.
