SIDNEY, Neb.--()--Cabela's Incorporated (NYSE:CAB) today reported record financial results for third quarter fiscal 2011.

For the quarter, adjusted for divestitures, total revenue increased 6.2% to $678.6 million; Retail store revenue increased 6.8% to $393.8 million; Direct revenue decreased 1.7% to $210.9 million; and Financial Services revenue increased 33.7% to $71.4 million. For the quarter, comparable store sales decreased 1.6%. On a reported basis, total revenue increased 5.5% and Direct revenue decreased 3.5%. A detailed reconciliation is provided at the end of this release.

Net income increased 65% to $35.6 million compared to $21.6 million in the year ago quarter, and earnings per diluted share were $0.50 compared to $0.31 in the year ago quarter, each excluding impairment charges of approximately $3.0 million pre-tax in each of the third quarters of 2011 and 2010. The Company reported GAAP net income of $33.3 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.47 as compared to GAAP net income of $19.7 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.29 in the year ago quarter. See the supporting schedules to this earnings release labeled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a detailed reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

“We have made further significant improvements in areas of our strategic focus,” said Tommy Millner, Cabela's Chief Executive Officer. "These include strong third quarter results in merchandise margin, Retail segment operating margin, Direct channel revenue and Direct channel operating margin. Additionally, our new next-generation stores continue to perform extremely well, thus increasing our confidence to accelerate future retail expansion in the United States and Canada. And finally, our most important metric, after-tax return on invested capital, increased 210 basis points in the quarter marking the tenth consecutive quarterly increase."

"A key component of our strategy is to improve merchandise performance and profitability of our retail operations," Millner said. "Consistent with that strategy, we deliberately reduced promotional discounts in the quarter through the elimination of unprofitable retail store promotions. While the elimination of these promotions caused a modest decline in comparable store sales, merchandise margins increased 140 basis points and Retail segment operating margin increased 270 basis points. Using each promotion dollar more effectively is critical over the long term to maximize our growth and profitability."

"During the quarter, the Company opened a new store in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and the initial results have exceeded our expectations," Millner said. "The success of Edmonton matches the success of our next-generation stores opened since 2009. These stores outperformed our legacy stores on a sales per square foot and profit per square foot basis by more than 30%. Additionally, the next-generation stores have meaningfully higher return on capital than our legacy stores. Accordingly, we expect to accelerate retail expansion in the United States and Canada in 2013 beyond the 2012 level of five stores. This would increase retail square footage by approximately 10% in both 2012 and 2013."

Direct revenues were unaffected by retail promotion decisions and showed solid improvement compared to the prior several quarters. Improved results were due to better in-stock levels, higher average order size, increase in customer conversion and early stage successes in mobile and social marketing. For the quarter, Direct segment operating margin increased 320 basis points to 17.6%.

“The significant improvement in retail gross margin allowed us to make additional investments in retail business-building advertising," Millner said. "As a result of this additional advertising spend, operating expenses as a percent of total revenue increased 40 basis points compared to the prior year quarter. While operating expenses were up, they increased at a slower rate than in the first half of the year, a trend we expect to continue into the fourth quarter.”

The Cabela's CLUB® Visa program also posted very strong results in the quarter. For the quarter, net charge-offs decreased 162 basis points to 2.23% compared to 3.85% in the prior year quarter. This is the lowest level of net charge-offs in more than three years. Primarily due to lower charge-offs, Financial Services revenue increased 33.7% in the quarter to $71.4 million.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors recently approved a share repurchase program designed primarily to offset shareholder dilution resulting from the granting of equity-based compensation awards. As a result, the Company intends to repurchase up to 800,000 shares in open market transactions through February 2012.

"Our strategies are working," Millner said. "We are pleased with our third quarter results and are confident that our outperformance in the third quarter will carry through to the full year. We therefore expect 2011 earnings per share to exceed current external expectations by the amount of the third quarter outperformance. Additionally, as we look forward to 2012, we currently expect earnings per share to grow at a low double-digit rate."

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Unaudited)

 
 

To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income presented in accordance with generally

accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), management of the Company has disclosed non-GAAP measures of operating results

that exclude certain items. Selling, distribution, and administrative expenses; operating income; provision for income taxes; net

income; and earnings per basic and diluted share are presented below both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and excluding (i) the

impairment and restructuring charges recorded in the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, and October 2, 2010, and

(ii) the effect of the charge recorded in fiscal 2010 relating to matters arising out of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's

("FDIC") compliance examination of World's Foremost Bank ("WFB"). The impairment and restructuring charges include

asset write-downs and severance and related costs. In light of the nature and magnitude, we believe these items should be

presented separately to enhance a reader's overall understanding of the Company's ongoing operations. These non-GAAP

financial measures should be considered in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures.

 

 

Management believes these non-GAAP financial results provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the

underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period

comparisons of such operations. In addition, management evaluates results using non-GAAP adjusted operating income,

adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per diluted share. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation

or as a substitute for operating income, net income, earnings per diluted share, or any other measure calculated in accordance

with GAAP. The following table reconciles these financial measures to the related GAAP financial measures for the periods

presented.

(1) Reflects (i) impairment losses recognized in the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, and October 2, 2010,

respectively, to reflect the fair value on certain assets and (ii) restructuring charges for severance and related benefits

recognized in the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011.

(2) The provision for income taxes for the non-GAAP measurements for the respective periods were based on the effective tax

rate calculated under GAAP for those respective periods on a year-to-date basis.

(3) Amounts may not foot across due to rounding from the calculations using basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

(4) Reflects an accrual recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 relating to matters arising out of the FDIC's compliance

examination conducted in 2009 of WFB. As a result of an agreement in principle to settle all matters with the FDIC, the

Company reduced that liability in the fourth quarter of 2010 by $10 million pre-tax. On March 3, 2011, WFB and the FDIC

settled all matters related to this issue. All restitution amounts and the civil money penalty were paid in the first fiscal

quarter of 2011.
