The Fresh Market, Inc. TFM, a growing specialty grocery retailer, today announced unaudited sales and earnings results for its thirteen-week second quarter ended July 26, 2015.
Second Quarter Financial Overview
- Diluted earnings per share under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 were $0.36, compared to $0.24 in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Second quarter fiscal 2014 results include net store closure charges of $0.13 per diluted share.
- Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 were $0.36, compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.36 for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, which excluded net store closure charges of $0.13 per diluted share. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. The schedules included in this press release reconcile this and other non-GAAP financial measures referenced to their comparable GAAP financial measures.
- GAAP net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $17.5 million, compared to $11.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Second quarter fiscal 2014 results include pre-tax net store closure charges of $9.8 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $46.4 million, compared to $46.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, an increase of 0.5%. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was 10.5% of net sales, compared to 10.9% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.
- Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 increased 4.7% to $442.1 million and comparable store sales decreased 1.0% to $392.7 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
- Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 increased 3.7%, or $5.3 million, to $149.0 million, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was 33.7%, compared to 34.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
- The Company generated $14.8 million in cash flow from operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to $12.0 million in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year, and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $73.4 million.
Sean Crane, Interim Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our second quarter results reflect changes in our pricing and promotional investments, which were less effective than anticipated in a more challenging macro environment. However, the financial health of the business remains sound as we continue to deliver some of the strongest adjusted EBITDA margins and returns on invested capital in the industry. We are committed to increasing our profitability as we work to stabilize and improve our future comparable store sales. As we move forward, we remain focused on our initiatives to build The Fresh Market brand, elevate our in-store experience and food offering, and capture greater operational efficiencies."
Second Quarter Operating Performance
Total net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 increased 4.7% to $442.1 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Comparable store sales decreased 1.0% to $392.7 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as a result of a 0.7% decrease in the number of transactions and a 0.3% decrease in average transaction size.
The Company's gross profit increased 3.7%, or $5.3 million, to $149.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to the prior fiscal year period. The fiscal 2015 second quarter gross margin decreased 30 basis points to 33.7%, compared to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The reduction in gross margin was driven primarily by increased shrink expense, partially offset by reduced supply chain costs and a favorable LIFO expense adjustment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 increased $4.2 million to $103.6 million, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the quarter were 23.4%, a slight improvement from the second quarter of fiscal 2014, as a decrease in incentive compensation expenses offset the effects of lower comparable store sales and $1.6 million of investments in marketing and store productivity programs.
Operating income was $28.5 million, or 6.4% of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to $19.1 million, or 4.5% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company's second quarter of fiscal 2014 operating income included net store closure and exit costs of approximately $9.8 million. Excluding these charges, adjusted operating income was $28.9 million, or 6.8% of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure.
First Half Operating Performance
For the twenty-six week period ended July 26, 2015, net sales were $904.1 million, a 6.0% increase compared to the corresponding twenty-six week period in fiscal 2014, while comparable store sales decreased 0.6% from the prior year period. GAAP net income was $32.6 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 26, 2015, compared to approximately $28.0 million in the prior year period. First half fiscal 2015 GAAP net income includes net pre-tax store closure and leadership change charges of $14.9 million, and first half fiscal 2014 GAAP net income includes pre-tax store closure and exit costs of $16.8 million. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the first half of fiscal 2015 were $0.67, compared to GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.58 for the corresponding twenty-six week period in fiscal 2014. Excluding store closure and exit costs of $0.19 per diluted share, adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.86 for the first half of fiscal 2015. Excluding store closure and exit costs of $0.22 per diluted share for the first half of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.79. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company generated $14.8 million in cash flow from operations and invested $30.6 million in capital expenditures, of which $27.3 million related to new and remodeled stores. For the year to date fiscal 2015 period, the Company generated $77.4 million in cash flow from operations and invested $54.3 million in capital expenditures, with $48.3 million spent on real estate activities.
The Company had $73.4 million of cash and no outstanding debt in connection with the Company's revolving credit facility at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to $48.5 million in cash and no outstanding debt under the credit facility at the end of fiscal 2014.
On a trailing four quarter basis for the period ended July 26, 2015, the Company's return on assets was 12.6%, return on invested capital, excluding excess cash, was 19.2%, and return on equity was 18.5%. Excluding the impact from store closure and exit costs, as well as asset impairment and leadership change charges recognized in the last two quarters of fiscal 2014 and the first two quarters of fiscal 2015, the Company's adjusted return on assets was 14.9%, adjusted return on invested capital, excluding excess cash, was 22.2%, and adjusted return on equity was 21.5%, all on a trailing four quarter basis for the period ended July 26, 2015. These financial return measures are non-GAAP financial measures. The schedules included in this press release include a discussion of these non-GAAP financial 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 2015, the Company opened six new stores, including two stores in Texas and one each in North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana and New York. As of July 26, 2015, the Company operated 174 stores in 27 states.
The following table provides additional information about the Company's real estate and store opening activities through the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Leases signed as of July 26, 2015 are for stores expected to open during or after fiscal 2015.

Note 1: Includes leases for stores expected to open after July 26, 2015 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 2015 Outlook
Mr. Crane concluded, "We believe that our strategic initiatives will better position The Fresh Market to compete long-term. We remain focused on evolving our operating model to provide customers with a unique and differentiated grocery shopping experience, although we expect that it will take time to fully realize the benefits of our efforts. Based on year to date results and the current operating environment, we are lowering our previously issued sales and earnings guidance for fiscal 2015."
The Company expects fiscal 2015 adjusted earnings of $1.55 to $1.65 per diluted share. This forecast excludes leadership transition related expenses and anticipated net charges of approximately $0.20 to $0.24 per diluted share, expected to be realized during fiscal 2015 related to the recognition of lease liabilities, asset disposals, severance and other costs associated with the exit of the California market. GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to be $1.31 to $1.45, which includes an approximately $0.08 per diluted share benefit related to the 53rd week of fiscal 2015.
Management's outlook for the 53-week fiscal 2015 is based upon the following expectations:
- Total net sales growth for the 53-week fiscal 2015 of approximately 5.0% to 7.0% compared to the 52-week fiscal 2014 total net sales. Fiscal 2014 included the benefit of sales from the Company's three California stores prior to their closing
- Comparable store sales for the first 52 weeks of fiscal 2015 of -1.0% to -2.5%
- An effective tax rate of 37.0% to 37.3%
-
Approximately $95 million to $105 million in capital expenditures,
primarily related to real estate investments
-- Unit growth of approximately 18 new stores
-- Remodeling or refreshing 9 to 10 stores
- Approximately $0.08 per diluted share of earnings related to the 53rd week of operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015
Stock Repurchase Program
In August, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $200 million stock repurchase program. The primary source of funds for stock repurchases will be cash flows from operations net of investing activities. Repurchases under the program may be made through open market transactions at prevailing market prices, with block trades permitted from time to time and in the discretion of the Company's management and as market conditions allow. The timing of the repurchases and the actual amount repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the amount of cash flow available for repurchases, the market price of The Fresh Market's shares and general market and economic conditions. No repurchases have been made under the program to date. Repurchases are expected to commence during or after September 2015.
Jeff Ackerman, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "This stock authorization reflects our strong, debt-free financial position, continued confidence in our long-term growth opportunities and commitment to building shareholder value. While investing in our growth initiatives and building The Fresh Market brand remain top priorities, our business generates a considerable amount of free cash flow even after funding these investments. This authorization will allow us the flexibility to achieve our growth objectives and best manage our free cash flow by allocating capital to stock repurchases and return cash to shareholders."

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 26, 2015 and 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 the Company's results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the Company's 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), it also provides certain non-GAAP operating performance measures. This non-GAAP information is provided as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management uses this information internally to make operating decisions and believes it is helpful to investors because it allows period-to-period comparisons of the Company's 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. |
