BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 2, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- drugstore.com, inc. (Nasdaq: DSCM), a leading online retailer of health, beauty, vision, and pharmacy products, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended October 3, 2010.

In the third quarter of 2010, drugstore.com’s quarterly net sales increased 23% to $108.8 million from $88.6 million in the prior year period. Including the gain on sale of approximately $4.7 million related to the sale of its mail order pharmacy business, the Company reported net income of $2.4 million and earnings per share of $0.02.  This compares to a net loss of $1.6 million and loss per share of $0.02 reported in the same period of the prior year.  

On an adjusted EBITDA and ongoing adjusted EBITDA basis the Company reported $7.9 million and $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2010, respectively, as compared to $3.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in the same period of the prior year. For the nine months ended October 3, 2010, the Company’s ongoing adjusted EBITDA was $12.2 million compared to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2009. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of intangible assets, adjusted to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense. Ongoing adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP financial measure is defined as adjusted EBITDA excluding the impact of expenses or income from discontinued operations, certain legal actions, settlements and related costs outside our normal course of business, restructuring and severance costs, impairment charges, and certain other one-time charges and credits specifically identified.

“Including a strong performance from SkinStore.com, OTC sales increased 26% year-over-year,” said Dawn Lepore, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of drugstore.com, inc.  “During the quarter, we did experience supply constraints from a few of our major vendors and some softness in discretionary spending, which impacted growth and resulted in increased promotions.  Our vision business posted accelerated growth, up 8% both sequentially and year-over-year, and we expect to see further benefits to this business as we launch two branded sites for Luxottica in the coming months. With continued growth in our OTC and vision segments, we remain on track to hit our 2010 goals of OTC revenue growth of 24% to 28%, doubling our prestige beauty business and delivering $16 to $20 million in revenues from our partnerships,” stated Ms. Lepore.

“Earlier this year,” Ms. Lepore continued, “we began implementing the technology changes needed to enable multiple distribution centers, and we expect to complete those changes in the first quarter of 2011.  This would allow us to have a West Coast facility up and running by mid-year. Although not needed for capacity reasons, a new distribution center will enable us to better serve our customers, while reducing shipping and labor costs.”

Outlook for Fourth Quarter of 2010

For the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company is targeting net sales in the range of $118 million to $122 million, net loss in the range of $0.3 million to $1.9 million, adjusted EBITDA in the range of $3.75 million to $5.25 million, and ongoing adjusted EBITDA in the range of $3.0 million to $4.5 million.  As a reminder, the fourth quarter of 2010 is a 13-week period and compares to a 14-week period in the fourth quarter in 2009.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, drugstore.com, inc. uses the non-GAAP measure of adjusted EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of intangible assets, adjusted to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense. This non-GAAP measure is provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA, as defined, provides useful information to the Company and to investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results. In addition, because drugstore.com, inc. has historically provided adjusted EBITDA measures to investors, management believes that including adjusted EBITDA measures provides consistency in the Company's financial reporting. However, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or as superior to, net income/loss, cash flows, or other consolidated income/loss or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of the Company's profitability or liquidity. Although adjusted EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating performance, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. Net income/loss is the closest financial measure prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP in terms of comparability to adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income/loss is included with the financial statements attached to this release.

The Company also uses the non-GAAP measure of ongoing adjusted EBITDA, defined as adjusted EBITDA excluding the impact of expenses or income from discontinued operations, certain legal actions, settlements and related costs outside our normal course of business, restructuring and severance costs, impairment charges, and certain other one-time charges and credits specifically identified in the non-GAAP reconciliation financial schedules included in this financial release.

In addition, the Company uses the non-GAAP measure of free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations less purchases of fixed assets as disclosed on our consolidated statements of cash flows. Management believes that free cash flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to service debt obligations, make investments, fund acquisitions and for certain other activities. Free cash flow is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be defined or calculated by other companies in the same manner. Additionally, this financial measure is subject to variability quarter over quarter as a result of the timing of payments related to accounts payable, including inventory purchases, and accounts receivable. Since free cash flow includes investments in operating assets, management believes this non-GAAP liquidity metric is useful in addition to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, and should not be used as a substitute for it or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities is included with the supplemental financial schedules attached to this release.

The Company also uses the non-GAAP measure of core OTC, defined as sales generated through our OTC segment less sales generated through our partnerships with Medco Health Solutions, Inc. and Rite Aid Corporation. This non-GAAP measure is provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of the Company's financial performance in the OTC segment, excluding the partnerships. Management believes that this reporting metric provides useful information to the Company and to investors by providing the Company's core operating results in the OTC segment without the impact of the partnerships. By excluding partnership sales from OTC sales data, the Company can more effectively assess the buying behavior of, and the Company's financial performance with respect to, its own core OTC customers. However, this non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or as superior to, OTC segment sales data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of the Company's overall performance in the OTC segment. OTC segment sales measures are the closest financial measures prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP in terms of comparability to OTC segment sales measures that exclude partnership sales.

NOTE 3: We define variable order costs as the incremental (variable) costs of fulfilling, processing, and delivering the order (labor, packaging supplies, and credit card fees that are variable based on sales volume).  In the second quarter of 2010, our chief operating decision makers modified our definition of variable order costs to exclude partnership-related royalty costs, which are considered marketing costs, in order to better assess the performance of our OTC segment contribution margin excluding these costs.  Partnership-related royalty costs of $660,000, as previously reported in the first quarter of 2010, were excluded from the nine-month period ended October 3, 2010, and partnership-related royalty costs of $174,000 and $378,000  were excluded from the three-and-nine month periods ended September 27, 2009, respectively.

NOTE 4: Supplemental information related to the Company's Core OTC net sales, cost of sales, gross profit, and gross margin for the three-and-nine months ended October 3, 2010 and September 27, 2009 is presented for informational purposes only and is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  As disclosed in Note 3, we changed our definition of variable order costs to exclude royalty costs.  Accordingly, all previously reported royalties have been excluded from variable costs in the three-and-nine month periods ended October 3, 2010 and September 27, 2009.  In August 2010, we entered into an amended web store hosting and fulfillment agreement with Medco, extending the agreement through 2018. Under the amended agreement, we will earn a fixed fee on orders generated through the Medco-branded online store, and Medco will reimburse us for the cost of products sold and the variable costs to fulfill each order.  Accordingly, beginning with our third quarter of 2010, we now report Medco net sales on a net basis.
