THOROFARE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Checkpoint Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CKP) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. These results reflect the U.S. and Canadian CheckView® business as discontinued operations.
First Quarter GAAP Results - Continuing Operations:
Net revenues from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2013 increased 3.2%, 3.8% on a constant dollar basis, to $148.8 million from $144.2 million in the first quarter of 2012. Gross profit margins were 36.2% compared with 36.8% in the 2012 first quarter. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $55.3 million decreased by $10.3 million, or 15.7% compared with the same period last year, driven by $9.6 million of additional cost reductions from the global restructuring programs, as well as continued tight expense control.
The operating loss of $1.3 million improved $18.2 million from the same period last year. The 2013 loss included restructuring expenses and acquisition costs offset by the reversal of a litigation settlement reserve associated with a patent infringement lawsuit. The acquisition costs are due to legal costs incurred in connection with ongoing arbitration of an EBITDA contingent payment related to the acquisition of the Shore to Shore businesses in May 2011. The 2012 loss included restructuring expenses, legal and forensic costs that resulted from the investigation of fraud in our Canadian subsidiary, and acquisition costs.
Net loss from continuing operations was $0.09 per diluted share compared with a loss of $0.26 per diluted share in the same period last year.
First Quarter Adjusted non-GAAP Operating Income and Earnings per Share - Continuing Operations:
Adjusted non-GAAP operating loss from continuing operations was $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared with a loss of $17.0 million in the same period last year. Adjusted non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $0.21 per share compared with a net loss from continuing operations of $0.21 per share in the first quarter of 2012. The 2013 results exclude the impact of restructuring expenses, acquisition costs, and the reversal of a litigation settlement reserve. The 2012 results exclude the impact of restructuring expenses, legal and forensic costs that resulted from the investigation of fraud in our Canadian subsidiary, and acquisition costs. Unlike the first quarter of 2012, first quarter 2013 results do not include the tax benefit on losses from U.S. operations due to a change in tax accounting methodology that we first began to apply in the second quarter of 2012.
Checkpoint Systems' President and Chief Executive Officer, George Babich, said, “We were pleased to see better than expected top-line growth in the first quarter attributable to increased focus and better execution that resulted in market share gains in SMS, and the completed consolidation of our ALS manufacturing operations in China, now running at capacity. Despite seasonally slow retail purchasing activity, revenues in Shrink Management Solutions (SMS) grew a healthy 9.4% on a constant dollar basis, driven by electronic article surveillance (EAS) systems rollouts at major retailers in Europe and strong sales of Alpha® high-theft solutions in North America. Apparel Labeling Solutions (ALS) revenue slowed as expected due to the steps taken in 2012 to rationalize our customer base and reduce in-house woven label production. Lower revenues in Retail Merchandising Solutions (RMS) reflected ongoing economic uncertainty in Europe as well as our decision to move to an indirect sales model in certain northern European countries.”
Mr. Babich continued, “Gross margins in the quarter were impacted by two large EAS systems rollouts in Europe that unfavorably affected product mix in SMS. This impact was partially offset by improved manufacturing efficiencies across our SMS operations and significantly improved margins in ALS, driven by Project LEAN. In the 2012 first quarter, SMS gross margins conversely were driven by favorable product mix and customer mix in EAS systems and Alpha, respectively.”
Mr. Babich concluded, “Checkpoint began 2013 leaner and stronger than a year ago. Now that the sale of the U.S. and Canadian CheckView® business is complete, our core SMS portfolio is 100% aligned with our strategy to provide solutions that improve merchandise availability in retail stores. Today our global team is energized to win new business and delight customers with best-in-class products and service. I am encouraged by what was accomplished in the first quarter, and remain optimistic that we can achieve our operational objectives and financial goals for the full year.”
Global Restructuring
We continue to expect that restructuring and cost savings initiatives under the Expanded Global Restructuring Plan will generate annual savings in cost of goods sold and SG&A of approximately $102 million by the end of 2013. The restructuring initiatives lowered costs in the first quarter of 2013 by an additional $15.3 million when compared with the reductions achieved through the first quarter of 2012, with $9.6 million of the additional reductions attributable to SG&A. Cost reductions since the inception of the restructuring plan total $60.9 million, with $44.9 million attributable to SG&A.
GAAP restructuring expenses in the first quarter of 2013 were $2.0 million, of which $0.7 million is attributable to non-cash asset impairments. To date, the Expanded Global Restructuring Plan has recorded $68.0 million in expenses, including $45.1 million in severance and other employee-related charges, $7.9 million in non-employee- related restructuring costs as well as $15.0 million in non-cash asset impairments associated with facilities rationalization and closures. To date, headcount reductions from the Expanded Global Restructuring Plan total 2,066 of the approximately 2,400 positions expected to be affected by the plan.
Working Capital, Free Cash Flow and Debt Covenants
The impact of working capital initiatives introduced in the second quarter of 2012 generated $11.6 million in free cash flow in the first quarter of 2013. Our focus on improving inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable resulted in a net improvement in those components of cash flow of $64.1 million since June 2012.
Ray Andrews, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer noted, “First quarter operating results and continued tight cash and working capital management enabled us to complete the quarter well within our amended debt covenant ratios while not increasing debt, and we expect this to continue through the year. Allowing for the forecasted use of working capital to support expected second-quarter revenue growth, we believe we are well positioned to achieve our goal of a $50 million to $60 million improvement by June 2013.”
RFID License Agreement with Round Rock Research
Checkpoint has entered into a license agreement with Round Rock Research, LLC, a technology research and patent licensing company that has asserted its patents against several users of RFID technology. The agreement provides various legal protections to Checkpoint and its customers, including protection to Checkpoint customers that buy (or have bought) their RFID solution from Checkpoint. Checkpoint acted quickly and decisively to reach this agreement to enable its customers to move forward with their RFID plans free from this legal and business concern.

Selected Discussion and Analysis of First Quarter 2013 Results
- Net revenues increased 3.2% to $148.8 million, principally due to a 3.8% increase in organic growth. Foreign currency effects resulted in a 0.6% decrease in net revenues, driven principally by the strengthened dollar versus the euro.
- Gross profit margin was 36.2% compared with 36.8% for the first quarter of 2012. The decrease was principally due to lower gross margins in SMS, notably in the EAS systems and Alpha® businesses partially offset by significantly higher ALS margins.
- SG&A expenses of $55.3 million compared with $65.6 million in the first quarter of 2012. The first quarter of 2013 included cost reductions totaling $9.6 million from the expanded Global Restructuring Plan, including Project LEAN.
- Operating loss was $1.3 million compared with a loss of $19.5 million in the first quarter of 2012. The first quarter of 2013 included a $6.6 million benefit related to a favorable decision in the All-Tag Security S.A., et al litigation. As a result, we reversed previously accrued charges for attorneys' fees and costs of the defendants.
- Non-GAAP operating loss excluding restructuring expenses, acquisition costs, and the reversal of a litigation settlement reserve was $5.7 million, or 3.8% of net revenues, compared with non-GAAP operating loss of $17.0 million, or 11.8% of net revenues, in the first quarter of 2012. (See accompanying Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.)
- Restructuring expense was $2.0 million ($0.7 million non-cash) resulting from the implementation of Project LEAN and the continued efforts of the expanded Global Restructuring Plan. Restructuring expense for these plans totals $68.0 million ($15.0 million non-cash) since inception.
- The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 was negative 8.0%. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 was a benefit of 48.3%. Income taxes and effective tax rates in both years were impacted by the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets. The significant change in the effective tax rate was due to the mix of income between subsidiaries and the use of the discrete method in accounting for the first quarter of 2013 U.S. operations results, which excludes any benefit from year-to-date losses incurred by our U.S. operations. The discrete method of accounting for U.S. losses from U.S. operations was implemented beginning in the second quarter of 2012. In the first quarter of 2012 the effective tax rate included the benefit from year-to-date losses from U.S. operations.
- Cash flow provided by operating activities was $13.0 million compared with $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2012.
- At March 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents were $131.1 million compared with $118.8 million at December 30, 2012, and total debt was $112.8 million compared with $113.3 million at December 30, 2012. Capital expenditures were $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2013.
Outlook for 2013
Based on an assessment of current market conditions, and assuming continuation of current foreign exchange rates, Checkpoint is updating certain components of guidance for 2013, with the changes noted below. This guidance does not include the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring and one-time or unusual charges resulting from debt refinancing, litigation, certain tax reserves and gains or losses generated by non-routine operating matters which we may record during the year.
Projected income taxes for the year can be impacted by changes in the mix of pre-tax income and losses in the countries in which we operate, which can also impact earnings per share. The valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets results in a GAAP tax rate on U.S. pre-tax income or losses of essentially 0%. If the mix of income or losses shifts from the U.S. to a country where the income tax rate is in the normal range, that in some cases approaches 30%, this can have a significant impact on the amount of reported income tax expense when compared to the projections that are the basis of our outlook.
- Net revenues are expected to be in the range of $675 million to $695 million. Prior guidance was net revenues in the range of $665 million to $685 million.
- Gross profit margins are expected to be in the range of 41.2% to 42.2%. Prior guidance was gross profit margins in the range of 41.8% to 42.8%.
- Operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $233 million to $243 million which is unchanged from prior guidance.
- Non-GAAP operating income is expected to be $45 million to $50 million, which is unchanged from prior guidance. Prior guidance was operating income margins of 6.8% to 7.3%, equivalent to $45 million to $50 million.
- Full year non-GAAP effective income tax rate is expected to be approximately 27% to 29% which is unchanged from prior guidance.
- Non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share attributable to Checkpoint Systems, Inc. are expected to be in the range of $0.65 to $0.75 which is unchanged from prior guidance.
- Free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) is expected to be in the range of $50 million to $60 million which is unchanged from prior guidance.
