For the 14 weeks ended January 3, 2010, net revenue increased 16% to $91.7 million from $79.1 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2008. For the 53-week fiscal year ended January 3, 2010, net revenue increased 9% to $311.3 million from $284.8 million for fiscal 2008.
The company recognized $5.6 million in net revenue during the 53rd week of the 2009 fiscal year. Excluding the impact of this week, the company would have reported sales growth of 9% and 7% for the quarter and the full year on a comparable 13-week and 52-week basis, respectively.
Net income for the 14 weeks ended January 3, 2010, increased to $10.3 million from $4.0 million for the corresponding 13-week period of fiscal 2008. Diluted earnings per share were $0.76 for the 14-week period of fiscal 2009 compared to $0.29 per share for the corresponding 13-week period of fiscal 2008. Net income for the quarter includes a pre-tax benefit of $7.7 million ($4.8 million after tax or $0.35 per diluted share) comprised of unusual items including: the net gain received from the company's attempted acquisition of Diedrich Coffee ("Diedrich") ($7.2 million after tax), the anticipated settlement and legal costs of a class action lawsuit ($1.7 million after tax), and the costs related to closing 4 stores during the quarter ($0.7 million after tax). Excluding these unusual items, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share would have been $0.41.
Net income for 2009 increased to $19.3 million from $11.2 million for 2008. Diluted earnings per share were $1.44 for 2009, compared to $0.80 per diluted share for fiscal 2008. Excluding the unusual items listed above, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for 2009 would have been $1.09, up 36% versus 2008.
The company estimates that the additional week in 2009 contributed $0.7 million in net income for the year, or $0.05 per diluted share. Excluding this extra week, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share would have been $1.04 versus $0.80 per diluted share for fiscal 2008, which represents 30% growth on a comparable basis.
"We finished the year strongly," said Patrick O'Dea, president and chief executive officer of Peet's Coffee & Tea, Inc. "Our grocery business growth is accelerating and our stores are operating at a high performance level. We're entering 2010 with good momentum, a healthy plate of growth initiatives and a very strong balance sheet. All in all, we're well positioned to drive strong earnings growth again this year."
Consolidated Financial and Operating Summary
Retail net revenue increased 11% to $56.5 million for the 14 weeks ended January 3, 2010, from $50.9 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2008. Excluding the impact of the extra week in 2009, retail net revenue increased 4% to $52.8 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the opening of 8 new retail stores in the last 12 months.
Specialty net revenue increased 25% to $35.2 million for the 14 weeks ended January 3, 2010 compared to $28.3 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2008. Excluding the impact of the extra week in 2009, total specialty net revenue increased 18% to $33.3 million. Within specialty sales, the grocery business continues to grow the most rapidly, up 39% over last year (30% on a comparable 13-week basis); foodservice and office business grew 16% (10% on a comparable 13-week basis); and home delivery sales were equal to last year (down 4% on a comparable 13-week basis).
Cost of sales and related occupancy expenses were 46.9% of total net revenue for the 14 weeks ended January 3, 2010, compared to 46.8% for the corresponding 13-week period of fiscal 2008. The slight increase resulted from a slightly lower average selling price per pound compared to the prior year partially offset by lower commodity costs.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 32.6% for the 14 weeks ended January 3, 2010 from 32.7% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2008, primarily due to leverage of retail overhead costs, offset by a reduction in our workers compensation reserve in the prior year.
Transaction income includes the $8.5 million break-up fee received for the termination of a definitive agreement for Peet's to acquire Diedrich, net of $4.2 million of costs incurred related to the transaction.
Litigation related expenses of $2.8 million includes all costs incurred related to the pending settlement of a wage and hour class action lawsuit that was filed in July 2008 against the company.
General and administrative expenses increased to $7.0 million for the 14 weeks ended January 3, 2010, compared to $6.3 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2008 primarily due to higher payroll related costs and the costs of the 53rd week of operations.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $4.0 million for the 14 weeks ended January 3, 2010, compared to $3.5 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2008. The increase was primarily due to depreciation from our new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and the opening of 8 new retail stores in the last 12 months.
The company recorded a $7.3 million pre-tax gain in the quarter for the sale of stock that it had acquired in Diedrich within the last year.
The effective income tax rate for the 14 weeks ended January 3, 2010 was 38.3% compared to 37.7% for the corresponding period of 2008. The 2009 full year effective rate was 37.5%, compared to 37.0% for the full year 2008.
The company ended 2009 with cash and cash equivalents plus investments of $47.9 million, compared to $13.3 million at year end 2008.
Fiscal 2010 Targets
Looking ahead, the company provided additional detail on current fiscal 2010 targets:
- The company is targeting total net revenue growth of approximately 8% to 12%, excluding the impact of the 53rd week in fiscal 2009, resulting in 2010 net revenue of approximately $330 to $340 million
- The company is targeting non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.24 to $1.30 for fiscal 2010, which represents diluted earnings per share growth of 19% to 25% off of non-GAAP comparable 52-week earnings per share of $1.04 in 2009. This earnings forecast excludes legal and related expenses the company will incur to comply with a subpoena it recently received from the Federal Trade Commission in connection with its anti-trust review of the proposed Green Mountain Coffee Roasters acquisition of Diedrich.
