- GAAP net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was $11.4 million, compared to $15.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Second quarter fiscal 2014 GAAP net income includes pre-tax store closure and exit costs of $9.8 million related to previously announced store closings in California and Texas.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was $46.2 million, compared to $40.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, an increase of 14.5%. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Craig Carlock, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our second quarter results which demonstrate our ability to drive solid sales and expand merchandise margins in an increasingly competitive retail environment. The performance of our new stores exceeded our expectations and we see tremendous expansion opportunities in our core markets. Based on a recent white space analysis, we are raising our store growth potential in the Southeastern United States to double our current store base in this region. We are encouraged by our first half results and believe we are well positioned to achieve our strategic and financial objectives for the year as we further expand our store base and enhance our customer offerings.”
Fiscal Second Quarter Operating Performance
Total net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 19.0% to $422.2 million and comparable store sales increased 2.9% to $357.3 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The Company’s second quarter comparable store sales were driven by a 2.7% increase in the number of transactions and a 0.2% increase in average transaction size.
The Company’s gross profit increased 18.5%, or $22.4 million, to $143.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to the same prior year period. The fiscal 2014 second quarter gross margin rate was 34.0% versus 34.2% for the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The slight decrease in the gross margin rate reflects higher occupancy costs and LIFO expense associated with the continuation of product cost inflation, partially offset by a modest increase in merchandise margin.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 increased $16.9 million to $99.4 million, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the quarter increased 20 basis points to 23.5%, compared to 23.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily due to an increase in store labor and benefit costs.
Operating income was $19.1 million, or 4.5% of sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to $25.9 million, or 7.3% of sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The Company’s second quarter 2014 operating income included store closure and exit costs of $9.8 million related to the recognition of certain lease liabilities and other exit costs associated with previously announced store closures. Excluding the store closure and exit costs recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, adjusted operating income was $28.9 million, or 6.8% of sales, for the quarter. Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure.
First Half Operating Performance
For the twenty-six week period ended July 27, 2014, net sales were $853.2 million, an 18.3% increase compared to the corresponding twenty-six week period in fiscal 2013, while comparable store sales increased 2.7% over the prior year period. GAAP net income was $28.0 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 27, 2014, compared to $37.8 million in the prior year period. First half fiscal 2014 GAAP net income includes pre-tax store closure and exit costs of $16.8 million related to previously announced store closings in California and Texas. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the first half of fiscal 2014 were $0.58, compared to GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.78 for the corresponding twenty-six week period in fiscal 2013. Excluding store closure and exit costs of $0.22 per diluted share, adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.79 for the first half of fiscal 2014. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company generated $12.0 million in cash flow from operations and invested $15.9 million in capital expenditures, of which $14.5 million related to new and remodeled stores. For the year to date fiscal 2014 period, the Company generated $68.2 million in cash flow from operations and invested $40.4 million in capital expenditures, with $37.1 million spent on real estate activities.
The total outstanding balance on the Company’s revolving credit facility at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was $3.0 million, a decline of 87.9% from $24.7 million at the end of fiscal 2013.
On a trailing four quarter basis for the period ended July 27, 2014, the Company’s return on assets was 8.6%; return on invested capital, excluding excess cash, was 12.6%; and return on equity was 14.2%. Excluding the impact from the impairment of certain real estate and store related assets recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and the store closure and exit charges recognized in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014, the Company’s adjusted return on assets was 13.8%; adjusted return on invested capital, excluding excess cash, was 19.3%; and adjusted return on equity was 21.7% all on a trailing four quarter basis for the period ended July 27, 2014. These financial return measures are non-GAAP financial measures. The schedules attached to this press release include a discussion of these non-GAAP measures, as well as the details of the Company’s calculations of these financial return measures.
Growth and Development
During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company opened four new stores, including two stores in Florida and one each in Texas and New York. As of July 27, 2014, the Company operated 158 stores in 26 states.
The following table provides additional information about the Company’s real estate and store opening activities through the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Leases signed as of July 27, 2014 are for stores expected to open during or after fiscal 2014.
| Stores Opened | Leases Signed for Future | |||

Note 1: Includes leases for stores expected to open after July 27, 2014 and such leases typically include customary leasing conditions. In general, the Company does not announce the location of a new store until all conditions to the lease are satisfied or the Company’s involvement in the property or project will be made public in connection with governmental permitting or approvals or in dealing with other third-parties. The Company generally identifies a store as “coming soon” when the Company takes possession of the property and commences construction related activities. The Company's website sets forth the most current list of announced lease locations and stores that are “coming soon.”
Note 2: Net of capital contributions, if any, received from landlords and including building costs, but excluding cost of land for owned stores. Lease inducement costs and similar prepayments in connection with acquiring or entering into new leases are not included in the capital cost per store and are included as a long-term asset and expensed over the primary term of the lease.
Fiscal 2014 Outlook
“Given results thus far and our current assessment of business conditions for the remainder of the fiscal year, we are reaffirming our previously issued fiscal 2014 comparable store sales and adjusted earnings guidance. While we expect to see increasing competitive pressures relative to the prior year, we anticipate that the impact of competitive new store openings will increase in the third quarter and lessen slightly in the fourth quarter as our markets absorb the new square footage and our customers resume their shopping habits. As a result, we anticipate that comparable store sales will be at the low to mid-point of our 1.5% to 3.5% full fiscal year range in the third quarter. We remain encouraged by our new unit growth pipeline and believe The Fresh Market’s distinct shopping experience and our commitment to offering outstanding food quality and selection position us well for future growth,” concluded Carlock.
The Company continues to expect fiscal 2014 adjusted earnings of $1.56 to $1.66 per diluted share. This forecast excludes anticipated store closure and exit costs of approximately $0.21 per diluted share related to the previously announced store closings in California and Texas. The store closure and exit costs for fiscal 2014 are net of an anticipated benefit from the Company’s assignment of a lease for one of the closed stores, which took place subsequent to the close of the second quarter of fiscal 2014. GAAP diluted earnings per share are now expected to be $1.35 to $1.45, including the aforementioned store closure and exit costs of approximately $0.21 per diluted share.
Management’s outlook for fiscal 2014 is based upon the following expectations:
- Comparable store sales growth of 1.5% to 3.5%
- Pre-opening expenses in line with fiscal 2013
- Occupancy costs as a percent of sales to increase 10 to 20 basis points from fiscal 2013
- Third quarter comparable store sales at the low to mid-point of the 1.5% to 3.5% fiscal 2014 range and an approximately $1.5 million increase in incentive compensation accrual expense in the third quarter compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013
- An effective tax rate of 37.5%
-
Approximately $100 million to $115 million in capital expenditures,
primarily related to real estate investments
- Unit growth of 22 new stores, with 6 new stores opening in the third quarter and 5 new stores opening in the fourth quarter
- Remodeling 4 to 5 stores
- Pre-tax store closure and exit costs related to the four closed California and Texas stores of approximately $16 million, net of the anticipated lease assignment benefit
- Year-on-year improvement in operating results associated with stores operating in California and Texas beginning in the second half of the fiscal year, after the closure of three stores in Sacramento, California and one in Houston, Texas in the first quarter of fiscal 2014

(1) In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company is also presenting results on an "adjusted" basis in order to exclude certain charges incurred during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 27, 2014, with the closure and exit costs of four stores closed in March 2014. These charges totaled $9.8 million and $16.8 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 27, 2014, respectively, with $9.8 and $16.4 million recorded to the "Impairments and store closure costs" line item on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the comparable periods. These charges include the recognition of certain lease liabilities, severance, loss on the disposal of assets and other exit costs. The remaining charges relate to the liquidation of inventory and are reflected on other line items of the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the twenty-six weeks ended July 27, 2014. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP, and are reconciled to the Company's most recent GAAP financial statements. The Company's management believes that these presentations provide useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, management uses these measures to review the Company's financial results and evaluate its business operations. |

(1) While the Company reports financial results in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we also provide certain non-GAAP operating performance measures. This non-GAAP information is provided as a supplement, not as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use this information internally to make operating decisions and believe it is helpful to investors because it allows period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results. The information can also be used to perform trend analyses and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted. Finally, the Company believes such information provides a higher degree of transparency. |

(2) The loss on disposals of property and equipment excludes the loss from closed stores. See table below for the calculation of loss on disposals of property and equipment, net of closed stores. |

(1) The return metrics do not represent financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For a discussion of financial measures not prepared in accordance with GAAP, please see below. The Company's management believes that these presentations provide useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, management uses these measures for reviewing financial results of the Company. The financial return metrics are calculated on a trailing four quarter basis. Our manner of calculating these return metrics is set forth in the footnotes below and may not be comparable to the manner in which other companies calculate these return metrics. |
|
(2) The return metrics in this column are calculated using net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Please see the footnotes below for the formulas used to determine these return metrics. |
|
(3) The return metrics in this column are calculated using adjusted net income, which is a non-GAAP measure. Please see the schedule entitled “Reconciliation of Adjusted Financial Statement Items” to the press release to which this schedule is attached for the reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income determined in accordance with GAAP. |
