Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended July 3, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the 52-week year ending October 2, 2010.
The balance sheet at October 3, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Leslies Poolmart, Inc.s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 3, 2009.
(2) Organization and Operation
Leslies Poolmart, Inc., which is sometimes referred to as the Company or Leslies in this report, is a specialty retailer of swimming pool supplies and related products. The Company markets its products under the trade name Leslies Swimming Pool Supplies through 645 stores in 35 states, a nationwide mail order catalog and web store. The Company also operates five distribution facilities and repackages certain bulk chemical products for retail sale. The Companys business is highly seasonal as the majority of its sales and all of its operating profits are generated in the third and fourth fiscal quarters.
In February 2007 the Company became a subsidiary of Leslies Holdings, Inc. (Holdings) pursuant to a tax-free reorganization in which the Companys shareholders became shareholders of Holdings in the same proportions.
(3) Stock-based Compensation
The Company may grant stock options for a fixed number of shares of Holdings to the Companys employees and directors with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. Awards granted are valued at fair value and recognized on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. Compensation cost for the unvested portion of awards outstanding is recognized as the requisite service is rendered.
At July 3, 2010, 1.4 million stock options were outstanding and 242,600 of the stock options were vested or exercisable. 35,000 stock options were cancelled during the 39-week period ended July 3, 2010.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the 13-week and 39-week periods ended July 3, 2010 was approximately $.1 million and $0.2 million respectively, compared to $.1 million for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended June 27, 2009. As of July 3, 2010, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based options and awards was $1.2 million and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 3.5 years. The weighted average fair value of stock option awards granted during the 39-week period ended July 3, 2010 was $1.33 and the key weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value are as follows: a risk-free interest rate of 2.22%; an expected life of the options of 5 years; an expected stock price volatility of 44.6% and an expected dividend yield of 0%. The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair value of traded options. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury security rate in effect as of the date of grant. The expected lives of options are based on historical data of the Company. The Company calculated expected volatility based on historical volatility.
(4) Taxation of the Company and Holdings
The Company and its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated Federal income tax return and certain state income tax returns of Holdings. The Companys financial statements recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences that result from the Companys activities during the current and preceding periods, as if the Company were a separate taxpayer rather than a member of Holdings consolidated income tax return group. This policy requires the Company to pay tax liabilities to Holdings in cash, based upon the Companys taxable income.

(5) Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $27.2 million and $18.7 million for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended July 3, 2010 respectively, compared to $23.0 million and $13.5 million for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended June 27, 2009. The Companys consolidated effective tax rate for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended July 3, 2010 was 39.4%, compared to 39.1% and 35.8% for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended June 27, 2010.
The gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits at July 3, 2010 was $0.2 million. The gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken during prior years did not change during the 39-weeks ended July 3, 2010. The total amount of the unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective rate is $0.2 million as of July 3, 2010. The Company had accrued approximately $30,000 for payment of interest and penalties at July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009.
As of July 3, 2010, all of the federal income tax returns filed since 2008 are still subject to adjustment upon audit. The Company also files income tax returns in many states, and these returns remain open for adjustments to its federal income tax returns. In addition, certain state income tax returns filed within the past four years are still open for state specific adjustments.

(7) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures that are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Certain information included in this document (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by the Company) contains statements that are forward-looking, such as statements relating to plans for future activities. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those relating to domestic economic conditions, activities of competitors, seasonal effects, changes in federal or state tax laws and of the administration of such laws and the general condition of the economy.
This discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with its unaudited consolidated financial statements and disclosures included elsewhere in this report and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included as part of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 3, 2009.
General
Leslies Poolmart, Inc. (the Company or Leslies) is the leading specialty retailer of swimming pool supplies and related products in the United States. The Company markets its products through 645 company-owned stores in 35 states; a nationwide mail order catalog; and the Internet. Leslies is vertically integrated, operating a chemical repackaging facility in Ontario, California and a specialty chemical repackaging facility in Hebron, Kentucky. The Company supplies its retail stores from distribution facilities located in Ontario, California; Dallas, Texas; Swedesboro, New Jersey; Hebron, Kentucky; and Orlando, Florida.

Table of Contents
The Company was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1997 and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leslies Holdings Inc. in February 2007 through a reorganization. The Companys principal executive offices are located at 3925 E. Broadway Road, Suite 100, Phoenix, Arizona 85040, and the telephone number at that address is (602) 366-3999. Leslies corporate website address is www.lesliespool.com.
Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations
The Companys business exhibits substantial seasonality, which the Company believes is typical of the swimming pool supply industry. In general, sales and net income are highest during the quarters that end in June and September which represent the peak months of swimming pool use. Sales are substantially lower during the quarters that end in December and March when the Company typically incurs net losses. The principal external factor affecting the Companys business is weather. Hot weather and the higher frequency of pool usage in such weather creates a need for more pool chemicals and supplies. Unseasonably early or late warming trends can increase or decrease the length of the pool season. In addition, unseasonably cool weather and/or extraordinary amounts of rainfall in the peak season will tend to decrease swimming pool use. The likelihood that unusual weather patterns will severely impact the Companys results is lessened by the geographical diversification of the Companys store locations.
The Company also expects that its quarterly results of operations will fluctuate depending on the timing and amount of revenue contributed by new stores and, to a lesser degree, the timing of costs associated with the opening of new stores. The Company attempts to open its new stores primarily in the quarter ending March in order to position itself for the following peak season.
Results of Operations
Net Sales. Net sales for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2010 were $236.6 million compared to $213.8 million for the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2009. The 10.7 % increase was primarily due to sales generated from comparable stores and new store openings. During the quarter ended July 3, 2010, the Company opened 7 new stores and closed no stores. Net sales for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2010 were $356.5 million compared to $331.0 million for the 39 weeks ended June 27, 2009. The 7.7% increase was primarily due to the 25 additional new stores which were operated during the 39-week period ended July 3, 2010.
Comparable store sales for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2010 increased 8.7% as compared to the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2009, while comparable store sales for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2010 increased 5.8% as compared to the 39 weeks ended June 27, 2009. The Company considers a store to be comparable in the first full month after it has completed 52 weeks of sales. Closed stores become non-comparable during their last partial month of operation. Stores that are relocated are considered comparable stores at the time the relocation is completed.
Comparable store sales is not a recognized measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Comparable store sales is not calculated in the same manner by all companies and accordingly is not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2010 was $113.8 million compared to $99.4 million for the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2009. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 48.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 46.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. For the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2010, gross profit was $148.2 million compared to $132.0 million for the 39 weeks ended June 27, 2009. As a percentage of sales, gross profit for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2010 was 41.6% compared to 39.9% for the 39 weeks ended June 27, 2009. Gross profit dollars improved primarily due to the recognition of vendor promotional rebates during the quarter and improved efficiencies in manufacturing and distribution.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2010 was $41.0 million compared to $37.2 million for the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2009. Operating expense increased during the third quarter of 2010 due primarily to increases in costs associated with the increased store count, as compared to the third quarter of 2009. For the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2010, operating expenses were $89.6 million, as compared to $84.3 million in the prior year with the increases primarily related to the increased store count.
Operating Income. Operating income during the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2010 improved by $10.5 million, from $62.2 million during the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2009 to $72.7 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2010. Operating income for the 39 weeks ended June 27, 2009 improved by $10.8 million, from $47.5 million during the 39 weeks ended June 27, 2009 to $58.3 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2010.
Other Income and Expense. Net interest expense was $3.6 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2010 compared to $3.5 million for the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2009. For the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2010, net interest expense was $10.8 million versus $9.9 million in the prior year. The 39 week results of 2009 include a $0.4 million gain on debt extinguishment related to the purchase and retirement of $3.9 million of the Companys 7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2013.

Income Taxes. The Companys income tax expense for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2010 was $27.2 million, or an effective rate of 39.4%, as compared to a $23.0 million expense, or an effective rate of 39.1% for the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2009. For the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2010, the income tax expense was $18.7 million, or an effective rate of 39.4% versus $13.5 million, or an effective rate of 35.8% in the prior year. The increase in the effective rate is attributed to the $1.2 million benefit for a reduction in estimated taxes payable based upon information received during the year which indicated that the amount would not be payable.
Adjusted EBITDA. The Adjusted EBITDA for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2010 was $76.7 million compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of $65.4 million for the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2009. For the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2010, Adjusted EBITDA was $69.6 million compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of $57.4 million for the 39 weeks ended June 27, 2009, or an improvement of $12.2 million. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the expanded gross profit achieved during the period, which more than offset higher occupancy and other expenses related to the additional store count.
Adjusted EBITDA is determined as follows (1):

(1) | Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest (including amortization of debt costs), taxes, depreciation, amortization, loss/(gain) on disposition of fixed assets, and unusual charges. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP, but is used by some investors to determine a companys ability to service or incur indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by all companies and accordingly is not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indicator of a companys operating performance or liquidity, and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flows from operations or cash flow data all of which are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company has presented Adjusted EBITDA solely as supplemental disclosure because the Company believes it allows for a more complete analysis of results of operations and may present a better measure of liquidity for those charges that are not anticipated to be incurred in the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. |
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Changes in Financial Condition.
During the 39 weeks between October 3, 2009 and July 3, 2010, total current assets increased by $61.0 million, primarily due to higher cash positions related to working capital changes and inventories increased by $27.5 million during the period, reflecting the effects of inventory purchased during the 39 weeks of 2010 as the Company accelerated its purchases of certain products for the peak-selling season.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures that are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for the interim periods within those annual periods. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
