Glacier Water Announces Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2013 Results

VISTA, Calif.--()--Glacier Water Services, Inc. (Pink Sheets:GWSV) announced results for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2013, ended September 29, 2013.

Brian McInerney, Chief Executive Officer of Glacier Water, said, “Our third quarter revenues were $35,458,000 increasing 13.2% versus the comparable period last year, with year-to-date revenues increasing 13.9%. Same-store revenues increased approximately 1% year-to-date. We are operating 2,100 more machines as compared to one year ago. The third quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $6,834,000, an increase of 10.3% or $637,000 over the same period last year. On a year-to-date basis EBITDA increased 16.4% or $2,312,000 to $16,405,000. At the end of the third quarter, Glacier operated approximately 23,700 machines located at retailers across the U.S. and Canada, providing high quality, great tasting drinking water and premium ice.”

Revenues for the third quarter ended September 29, 2013 increased 13.2% to $35,458,000 compared to $31,330,000 for the same period last year. For the nine-month period ended September 29, 2013, revenues increased 13.9% to $96,032,000 compared to $84,295,000 for the same period last year. Sales growth was driven primarily by the increase in the number of water vending machines on location resulting from the Aqua Fill asset acquisition completed in 2012, other new water vending and ice machine placements and from positive growth in same-store productivity.

The Company’s income from operations for the third quarter ended September 29, 2013 was $2,735,000 compared to $2,781,000 for the same period last year. For the nine-month period ended September 29, 2013, income from operations was $4,273,000 compared to $4,266,000 for the same period last year. The operating income on both a quarter and year-to-date basis was driven by the increased margin generated from growth in revenues, offset by increased depreciation and amortization of $683,000 and $2,305,000 respectively, associated primarily with the Aqua Fill asset acquisition in 2012, and by increased operating costs to support the increased machine population, in particular, labor and benefits, maintenance and repair costs.

The Company’s net loss applicable to common stockholders for the quarter ended September 29, 2013 was $358,000 or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net income of $195,000, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year. For the nine-month period ended September 29, 2013, the net loss applicable to common stockholders was $4,708,000 or $1.42 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3,404,000 or $1.04 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. Net loss attributable to the non-controlling interests for the third quarter and nine-month period ended September 29, 2013 was $16,000 and $188,000, respectively.

With approximately 23,700 water and ice vending machines located in 47 states throughout the United States and Canada, Glacier Water is the leading provider of both high-quality, low-priced drinking water dispensed to consumers through self-service bottled water machines, and state-of-the-art ice bagging machines, located at supermarkets and other retail locations.
