LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Apparel, Inc. (NYSE MKT: APP), a vertically integrated manufacturer, distributor, and retailer of branded fashion-basic apparel, announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Financial Performance Highlights for the Second Quarter 2013
- Net sales increased 9% to $162.2 million on a 7% increase in comparable store sales and a 16% increase in wholesale net sales
- Adjusted EBITDA improved by $0.3 million to $7.9 million from $7.6 million in the second quarter 2012
- The Company is updating its 2013 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to a range of $46 million to $51 million
John Luttrell, Chief Financial Officer of American Apparel, Inc. stated, “Today we reported Adjusted EBITDA of $7.9 million vs. $7.6 million reported in the second quarter of 2012. We saw a healthy increase in sales across all three business channels, but our second quarter Adjusted EBITDA performance was negatively affected by approximately $2.9 million of costs associated with the transition to a new distribution center and other performance measures we took to improve our distribution operations (see “Changes in Supply Chain Operations”). As a result, we have adjusted our outlook for the year to reflect these factors and now estimate Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $46 million to $51 million as compared to our prior estimate of $47 million to $54 million.”
Dov Charney, Chairman and CEO of American Apparel, Inc. stated: “We are pleased with the continued strong sales performance in all three business channels, particularly in light of the sales we believe we lost as a result of the supply chain issues we faced this quarter. We are, however, executing at the store level and in our manufacturing facility, and customer demand of our offering remains strong. While the transition to a new distribution center and other supply chain initiatives negatively impacted the quarter, we are committed to making the necessary investments to reduce costs and improve our operating efficiency over the longer-term. These initiatives will strengthen our supply chain and better position us to achieve our long-term objective of a double-digit EBITDA margin. Finally, for the first week of August we have seen positive comparable store sales momentum in our stores.”
Changes in Supply Chain Operation
During the second quarter, we implemented several supply chain initiatives designed to reduce costs and improve distribution over the longer-term. These initiatives include the following: i) we are currently in the process of transitioning our distribution activities to an automated facility located in La Mirada, California, ii) we closed our distribution center in Montreal, Canada and, iii) we closed an ancillary warehouse location in Los Angeles, CA. These activities are scheduled to be complete in the third quarter of 2013, and have resulted in additional costs charged to cost of sales and selling expenses in our statements of operations for both the second quarter and first six months of 2013. In addition, we believe resulting shipping disruptions to both our stores and customers may have negatively impacted sales.
We estimate the incremental costs incurred in connection with these activities were as follows for the periods indicated ($ in Millions):
2013 | ||||||||||
Second Quarter |
Year-to-Date | |||||||||
Cost of sales | $ | 0.3 | $ | 0.3 | ||||||
Selling expenses | 2.6 | 4.0 | ||||||||
Total | $ | 2.9 | $ | 4.3 | ||||||
Although we anticipate a third quarter completion date, no assurance can be given that the implementation will not be delayed and if so, there will also be additional transition costs.
John Luttrell continued, “Information systems integration issues related to our new distribution facility were the primary causes for the added costs incurred in the second quarter. Start-up integration issues with the various information systems supporting the supply chain operation prevented our cut-over to the new facility and forced us to maintain added staffing. We also incurred added shipping and related costs, as a result of the delays. We believe that these issues will be corrected in the third quarter, when the transition process is expected to be completed. However, in the event there are further integration issues or if there are systems related disruptions in the future, we will most likely incur additional costs and reduced sales. Our updated 2013 Adjusted EBITDA outlook includes additional transition costs in the third quarter and it assumes completion of the transition in the same quarter. When this program is fully operational, we continue to expect to see cost reductions of $3.5 million to $4.5 million on an annual basis from the costs we incurred for these activities in 2012.”
Explanation of Two Significant Non Operating Items
There were two non-operating items that substantially impacted our net loss for the second quarter.
These items were the following:
(1) Lion Capital holds 21.6 million warrants at $0.75 per share and as our share price increases the warrants become more valuable and we have to book an expense to recognize the increase in value of warrants. Conversely, when our share price decreases we have to book a gain to recognize a decrease in the value of warrants. Therefore, as our share price decreased during the second quarter of 2013, we booked a non-cash gain of $5.5 million as a result of a mark-to-market adjustment to our warrants. Although the income statement impacts associated with the warrants are appropriate and required under GAAP, they do not impact the operating performance of the company. Also, they do not represent obligations that will be settled with cash. Instead, these warrants will be reclassified to equity when exercised.
(2) We recorded a charge of $32.1 million due to our April 2013 refinancing activities, whereby we used the net proceeds from the private offering of $206 million in senior secured notes, along with borrowings from our new revolving credit facility with Capital One Leverage Finance Corp. to repay and terminate our existing loan and credit agreements with Lion Capital LLP and Crystal Financial LLC, respectively. In connection with this transaction, we wrote off deferred financing costs and debt discounts on the loans that were retired and we paid a termination fee of $2.4 million to Crystal Financial LLC for the early termination of their loan commitment. Thus, of the $32.1 million charge, $29.7 million did not represent a cash requirement to the Company.
Excluding these non-operating items from both periods, our net loss would have been $10.9 million in the second quarter 2013 compared to $13.9 million in the second quarter 2012.
Operating Results - Second Quarter 2013
Comparing the second quarter 2013 to the corresponding period last year, net sales increased 9% to $162.2 million on a 7% increase in comparable store sales in the retail and online business and a 16% increase in net sales in the wholesale business. The following delineates the components of the increases for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2013 and as compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year:
2013 Second |
2012 Second |
|||
Comparable Store Sales | 6% | 14% | ||
Comparable Online Sales | 18% | 28% | ||
Comparable Retail & Online | 7% | 16% | ||
Wholesale Net Sales | 16% | 10% | ||
Total Net Sales | 9% | 13% |
(1) Comparable store sales have been adjusted to exclude impact of extra leap-year day in 2012.
Gross profit of $83.9 million for the second quarter 2013 represented an increase of 6% from $79.0 million reported for the second quarter 2012. Gross margin decreased from 52.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to 51.7% for the quarter ended June 2013. The decrease in the gross margin was primarily due to stronger growth in our wholesale business, which has lower margins than our retail and online channels, and transition costs associated with our supply chain improvement efforts as discussed above.
Operating expenses of $85.8 million for the second quarter 2013 represented an increase of 8% from $79.7 million for the second quarter 2012. As a percent of revenue, operating expenses decreased from 53.4% for the quarter ended June 2012 to 52.9% for the quarter ended June 2013. The fixed cost leverage as a result of increased sales was somewhat offset by higher distribution labor and associated costs estimated at $2.6 million due to the changes to our supply chain operations as discussed above. In addition, we incurred $0.7 million in higher share-based compensation expenses and $.5 million in higher travel and supply expenses related to store improvement activities.
Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2013 improved to $7.9 million from $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2012. For a reconciliation of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to consolidated net income or loss, as applicable, please refer to the Table A.
Other expense for the second quarter 2013 was $35.0 million as compared with $13.4 million in the prior year quarter. The $21.6 million change in non-operating expenses was primarily the result of a loss on extinguishment of debt of $32.1 million as a result of our April 2013 refinancing. This was offset by an unrealized gain on the change in fair value of our warrants of $5.5 million for the quarter ended June 2013 as compared with an unrealized loss of $1.4 million in the prior year quarter.
Income tax provision in the second quarter 2013 was $0.6 million versus $1.1 million in the 2012 second quarter. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have discontinued recognizing potential tax benefits associated with current operating losses. As of June 30, 2013, we had available federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $95.6 million and unused federal and state tax credits of $24.5 million.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2013 was $37.5 million, or $0.34 per common share, compared to net loss for the second quarter of 2012 of $15.3 million, or $0.14 per common share. The 2013 second quarter includes a non-cash/non-operating gain of $5.5 million ($0.05 per common share) associated with a decrease in the fair value of outstanding warrants and non-operating loss of $32.1 million ($0.29 per common share) associated with the extinguishment of debt. Of the $32.1 million debt extinguishment charge, $29.7 million was a non-cash expense and $2.4 million was a cash expense. The 2012 second quarter includes a non-cash/non-operating charge of $1.4 million ($0.01 per common share) for the increase in the fair value of warrants. Excluding the non-cash and non-operating items from both periods, the adjusted net loss for the second quarter 2013 would have been $10.9 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $13.9 million, or $0.13 per share, in the second quarter 2012.
Fully-diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 110.2 million in the second quarter of 2013 versus 105.9 million for the second quarter of 2012. As of August 1, 2013 there were approximately 110.3 million shares outstanding.
Capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2013 increased by $2.4 million to $6.3 million as compared with $3.9 million in the 2012 quarter as we substantially completed our RFID implementation activities and continued to invest in equipment for our new distribution center.
2013 EBITDA and Sales Guidance
For 2013, we updated our Adjusted EBITDA guidance to be in the range of $46 million to $51 million. This outlook assumes net sales between $652 million and $664 million. Raw material costs are estimated at current prices and foreign currency exchange rates are estimated to remain at current levels.
For a reconciliation of the forecasted guidance range of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, please refer to Table A.

American Apparel, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Calculation
and Reconciliation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA
(Amounts in
thousands)
(unaudited)
In addition to its GAAP results, American Apparel considers non-GAAP measures of its performance. Adjusted 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 expense and depreciation and amortization. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted for other expense (income), foreign currency loss (gain), retail store impairment, and share based compensation expense. American Apparel's management uses Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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.
Adjusted 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, Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of its business, there are material limitations to using a measure such as Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with its analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net income (loss).
