For the fourth quarter, the company reported revenues of $7.1 billion, a net loss of $161.3 million or $0.18 per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA of $274.3 million or 3.8 percent of revenues. Revenues improved by $690.3 million; net loss decreased by $44.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share; and Adjusted EBITDA improved by $58.9 million over the prior year fourth quarter.

“We made strong progress in fiscal year 2012 and feel positive about our improved business results, highlighted by same store sales and Adjusted EBITDA increases for the fifth consecutive quarter,” said Rite Aid President and CEO John Standley.

 

“Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the entire Rite Aid team throughout the year, we achieved these outstanding results by more than doubling the number of flu shots we administered last year; completing 274 wellness remodels; significantly growing our Rite Aid brand program; and achieving continued success with our award-winning wellness+ customer loyalty program. While there is still hard work ahead, I am pleased we are beginning our new fiscal year with positive momentum,” Standley added.

 

Fourth Quarter Summary

 

Revenues for the fourteen-week fourth quarter were $7.1 billion compared to revenues of $6.5 billion in the prior year thirteen-week fourth quarter. Revenues increased 10.7 percent primarily as a result of the additional week in fiscal 2012 and an increase in same store sales, partially offset by store closings.

 

Same store sales for the quarter increased 3.0 percent over the prior-year period, consisting of a 1.6 percent increase in the front end and a 3.8 percent increase in the pharmacy. Pharmacy sales included an approximate 216 basis point negative impact from new generic introductions. The number of prescriptions filled in same stores increased 2.4 percent over the prior year period, which includes the benefit of a decrease in the number of pharmacies in the Express Scripts pharmacy benefit management network. Prescription sales accounted for 67.4 percent of total drugstore sales and third party prescription revenue was 96.6 percent of pharmacy sales.

 

Fourth quarter net loss was $161.3 million or $0.18 per diluted share compared to last year’s fourth quarter net loss of $205.7 million or $0.24 per diluted share. An increase in Adjusted EBITDA, decreases in depreciation and amortization and lease termination and impairment charges, and an income tax benefit compared to an income tax expense last year all contributed to the decrease in net loss. Partially offsetting these improvements were a significantly higher LIFO charge, a loss on debt modification charge, and a lower gain on sale of assets compared to last year’s fourth quarter.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (which is reconciled to net loss on the attached table) was $274.3 million or 3.8 percent of revenues compared to $215.4 million or 3.3 percent of revenues for the like period last year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by an increase in same store sales, improvements in FIFO gross margin and the extra week in fiscal 2012.

 

In the fourth quarter, the company relocated two stores, remodeled 121 stores and closed 12 stores.  Stores in operation at the end of the fourth quarter totaled 4,667. The Company had 280 wellness stores at year end.

Full Year Results

 

For the 53-week fiscal year ended March 3, 2012, Rite Aid had revenues of $26.1 billion compared to $25.2 billion for the 52-week prior year. Revenues increased by 3.6 percent, primarily driven by an increase in same store sales and the additional week in fiscal 2012.

 

Same store sales for the year increased 2.0 percent over the prior year period. This increase consisted of a 1.1 percent front-end same store sales increase and a 2.4 percent increase in pharmacy same store sales. Pharmacy sales included an approximate 169 basis point negative impact from new generic introductions. The number of prescriptions filled in same stores increased 0.9 percent. Prescription sales accounted for 68.1 percent of total drugstore sales, and third party prescription revenue was 96.5 percent of pharmacy sales.

 

Net loss for fiscal 2012 was $368.6 million or $0.43 per diluted share compared to last year’s net loss of $555.4 million or $0.64 per diluted share. Contributing to the decrease in net loss were an increase in Adjusted EBITDA , decreases in depreciation and amortization, lease termination and impairment charges, interest expense and loss on debt modification, and an income tax benefit compared to an income tax expense last year. Partially offsetting these improvements was a significantly higher LIFO charge, and a lower gain on sale of assets compared to last year.

 

As computed on the attached table, Adjusted EBITDA was $942.9 million or 3.6 percent of revenues for the year compared to $859.0 million or 3.4 percent of revenues for last year.

 

For the year, the company relocated 15 stores, remodeled 278 stores and closed 47 stores. Stores in operation at the end of the year totaled 4,667.

 

Outlook for Fiscal 2013

 

The company’s outlook for fiscal 2013 is based on current same store front end sales and prescription count trends, adjusted for an anticipated reduction in pharmacy sales due to new generic introductions; the anticipated benefit of a decrease in the number of pharmacies in the Express Scripts pharmacy benefit management network; a challenging reimbursement rate environment; and the impact of continued investments Rite Aid plans to make in its wellness remodels, customer loyalty program and other initiatives to grow sales.

 

Rite Aid said it expects sales to be between $25.4 billion and $25.8 billion in fiscal 2013 with same stores sales expected to range from flat to an increase of 1.5 percent over fiscal 2012.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (which is reconciled to net loss on the attached table) is expected to be between $925 million and $1.025 billion.

 

Net loss for fiscal 2013 is expected to be between $103 million and $267 million or a loss per diluted share of $0.13 to $0.31.

 

Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $300 million, which includes increasing the number of wellness store remodels and prescription file buys.
