LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Apparel, Inc. (NYSE Amex: APP), a vertically integrated manufacturer, distributor, and retailer of branded fashion basic apparel, announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Comparing the 2011 second quarter to the corresponding period last year, the company reported that:
- Retail comparable store sales were flat for the second quarter with improving trends as comparable store sales increased 3% in June followed by a 4% increase in July. Net sales were flat between periods despite a 9% decrease in the number of stores in operation.
- Internet sales increased 23% and wholesale net sales decreased 4%.
- Gross margin was 54.5% vs. 51.6%.
- Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $3.7 million vs. $0.1 million.
- Loss per common share was $0.00 vs. $0.21.
“We are pleased to see improving sales trends with a comparable store sales increase of 3% in June followed by a 4% increase in July. I believe that our stores look better than ever and our sales improvements were achieved at normal margins,” said Dov Charney, chairman and CEO, American Apparel. “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA production at $3.7 million for the quarter resulted primarily from improving manufacturing efficiency that more than offset higher yarn prices.
“During the month of July we received $8.3 million in new capital in connection with share purchase transactions consummated in April 2011. To date, we have received $22.5 million in gross proceeds for the sale of shares and exercise of purchase rights in connection with these transactions. This additional capital will allow us to take advantage of improving business conditions in order to build upon our recent successes. Together with our improved operating performance, this new capital makes us well positioned to strengthen our balance sheet.”
Comparable store sales were flat for the second quarter of 2011 versus a decline of 16% reported for the same quarter last year. During the 2011 second quarter, the Company had an average of 254 stores in operation vs. an average of 280 stores during the second quarter last year. Reported sales for the international segment benefited from a weaker U.S. Dollar.
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2011 was 54.5% vs. 51.6% for the corresponding period last year. Gross margin increased primarily due to improvements in manufacturing efficiency and logistics related expenses, foreign currency gains from a weaker U.S. Dollar, and a shift in mix from wholesale to online sales. In addition, margins were favorably impacted as a result of reduced shrink from a June 2011 U.S. warehouse inventory which contributed to the overall margin improvement. These benefits were somewhat offset by higher yarn and fabric costs.
Loss from operations was $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2011, less than the loss of $8.6 million reported last year as a result of improved gross profit margins and higher gross profit of $3.9 million, lower distribution expenses of $0.8 million, lower store operating and other selling expenses of $0.8 million, offset by increase in general and administrative expenses of $2.1 million. General and administrative expenses were impacted by stock based compensation of $1.2 million, salaries and wages of $2.1 million primarily from increases in senior management personnel, $0.3 million in additional professional fees incurred primarily in connection with financial planning and associated legal fees, offset by a reduction in depreciation, impairment and other miscellaneous charges of $1.5 million.
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2011 increased to $7.8 million from $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2010 due to a higher balance of outstanding debt and a higher average rate of interest.
A non-cash change in the value of the Company’s warrant liabilities caused a $14.0 million improvement in the loss before income taxes between the quarterly periods.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $0.2 million, or $0.00 per common share, compared to net loss for the second quarter of 2010 of $14.7 million, or $0.21 per common share. The 2011 second quarter net loss included an income tax provision of $0.5 million vs. an income tax benefit of $2.2 million in the 2010 second quarter.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has discontinued recognizing potential tax benefits associated with current operating losses. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has available net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards of $33.9 million which may be available to reduce future U.S. income taxes that would otherwise be payable.
Weighted average shares outstanding for the 2011 second quarter were 89.1 million vs. 71.4 million for the 2010 second quarter. As of July 31, 2011 there were 103.3 million shares outstanding.

American Apparel, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Calculation
and Reconciliation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA
(Amounts in

(unaudited)
In addition to its GAAP results, American Apparel considers non-GAAP measures of its performance. EBITDA, as defined below, is an important supplemental financial measure of American Apparel’s performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before income taxes, interest and other expense (income), and depreciation and amortization. American Apparel’s management uses EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the ability of its assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on its indebtedness, meet capital expenditure and working capital requirements, pay taxes, and otherwise meet its obligations as they become due. American Apparel’s management believes that the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information regarding American Apparel’s results of operations because they assist in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of American Apparel’s business. American Apparel believes that EBITDA is useful to stockholders as a measure of comparative operating performance, as it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation and amortization and more reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance.
EBITDA also is used by American Apparel’s management for multiple purposes, including:
- to calculate and support various coverage ratios with American Apparel’s lenders
- to allow lenders to calculate total proceeds they are willing to loan to American Apparel based on its relative strength compared to its competitors
- to more accurately compare American Apparel’s operating performance from period to period and company to company by eliminating differences caused by variations in capital structures (which affect relative interest expense), tax positions and amortization of intangibles.
In addition, EBITDA is an important valuation tool used by potential investors when assessing the relative performance of American Apparel in comparison to other companies in the same industry. Although American Apparel uses EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of its business, there are material limitations to using a measure such as EBITDA, including the difficulty associated with using it as the sole measure to compare the results of one company to another and the inability to analyze significant items that directly affect a company’s net income (loss) or operating income because it does not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate its business. In addition, American Apparel’s calculation of EBITDA may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies and should be viewed in conjunction with measures that are computed in accordance with GAAP. American Apparel’s management compensates for these limitations in considering EBITDA in conjunction with its analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net income (loss).
