Fiscal Q1 2013 Financial Results
Consolidated net sales in the fiscal first quarter of 2013 decreased 12% to $91.3 million from $104.0 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the company’s previously announced transition away from the home video product category, which contributed minor net sales of $37,000 in the fiscal first quarter of 2013 compared to $10.3 million in the year-ago quarter.
Consolidated net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 would have only decreased 3% without the impact of the company’s transition away from the home video product category.
Net sales in the company’s distribution segment, which accounts for a majority of revenues, decreased 12% to $89.1 million from $101.7 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily attributed to the transition away from the home video category as well as a 12% decline in software distribution to $65.4 million from $74.4 million in the year-ago quarter. The decline was nearly offset by net sales of consumer electronics and accessories, which increased 71% to $20.8 million from $12.2 million in the year-ago quarter. (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” below, for further discussion)
Gross margin in the fiscal first quarter of 2013 decreased to 11.0% from 13.3% in the year-ago quarter, which was attributed to the shift in mix toward lower margin software and consumer electronics accessories as well as the company’s reduced emphasis on the home video category.
Total operating expenses in the first quarter decreased 27% to $10.5 million, compared to $14.4 million in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to operating efficiencies realized from the company’s restructuring plan completed at the end of fiscal year 2012.
Net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 improved to $571,000 or $(0.02) per share, compared to a net loss of $627,000 or $(0.02) per share in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP term) in the fiscal first quarter of 2013 increased 23% to $543,000, compared to $440,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” below, for further discussion).
The company continued to carry no debt at June 30, 2012.
Management Commentary
“In terms of our key areas of operational performance, the positive results we delivered in our previous two quarters continued into the first quarter of fiscal 2013,” said Richard Willis, CEO of Navarre. “This was demonstrated by the 71% increase in our consumer electronics and accessories sales, and healthy, double-digit growth in both our Canadian and e-commerce channels, which grew 32% and 18%, respectively. These three areas of our organic business form the basis of our growth strategy.
“Equally important as these growth generators are the benefits we’ve realized from our recently completed restructuring plan, as shown by reductions in operating expenses of $3.8 million or 11.5% of net sales, compared to 13.8% during fiscal Q1 of 2012. These savings helped generate the 23% increase in adjusted EBITDA and ultimately will support a profitable fiscal year.
“For the remainder of the year, we will continue to focus on our key growth areas while pursuing opportunities to further enhance our comprehensive 3PL platform, including e-commerce fulfillment which has a more attractive margin. We are optimistic about our prospects and believe the steps we’ve taken to realign our cost structure better positions Navarre as the single-source solution for retailers and manufacturers who seek to simplify their supply chain.”
Outlook
The company’s guidance for fiscal 2013 issued on May 22, 2012 remains on track, with net sales expected to be between $460.0 million and $480.0 million, and adjusted EBITDA expected to be between $9.0 and $11.0 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Information
In evaluating the company’s financial performance and operating trends, management considers information concerning the company’s net sales before inter-company eliminations, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense and restructuring charges from continuing operations, which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. The company’s management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that facilitates comparisons to prior periods and for the evaluation of financial results. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures. The method the company uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which is attached to this release and can also be found on the company’s website at www.navarre.com.

In addition to these, a detailed statement of risks and uncertainties is contained in the company’s reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including, in particular, the company’s Form 10-K filings, as well as its other SEC filings and public disclosures.
