Harris Teeter Supermarkets, Inc. Reports Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2012
MATTHEWS, N.C.August 2, 2012Harris Teeter Supermarkets, Inc. (NYSE:HTSI) (the Company) today reported that sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 ended July 1, 2012 increased by 4.6% to $1.15 billion from $1.10 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. For the 39 weeks ended July 1, 2012, sales increased by 6.5% to $3.39 billion from $3.18 billion for the comparable period of fiscal 2011. The increase in sales for the quarter and 39-week period was driven by an increase in comparable store sales and sales from new stores, partially offset by store closings. Comparable store sales increased by 3.70% for the quarter, and 4.30% for the 39-week period ended July 1, 2012, from the respective comparable periods of fiscal 2011.
On June 1, 2012, the Company announced a purchase and sale agreement between the Companys subsidiary Harris Teeter, Inc. (Harris Teeter) and Lowes Food Stores, Inc. (Lowes Foods) (the Lowes Foods Transaction). Per the agreement Harris Teeter acquired ten Lowes Foods store locations in the central Carolinas region and Lowes Foods acquired six Harris Teeter store locations in western North Carolina. The stores acquired by Harris Teeter were closed for remodeling, stocking and training of employees. Six of the acquired stores are expected to re-open during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Three of the acquired stores are expected to be converted to a new innovative format featuring a worldwide variety of wine, beer, specialty foods and other selected merchandise and one of the acquired stores is expected to be subleased.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2012, the Company opened six new stores (one of which was a replacement for a store closed in the first quarter) and closed eight stores (including the six stores sold to Lowes Foods and one store which is expected to be replaced with a new store opening in fiscal 2013). Since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company has opened seven new stores and closed nine stores (including the six stores sold to Lowes Foods) for a net reduction of two stores. In addition, one store located in the Washington D.C. market has been temporarily closed while the Company repairs damage caused by flooding. The Company operated 201 stores as of the
end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
As previously disclosed, the Company sold all of its ownership interest in its wholly-owned industrial thread manufacturing company American & Efird (A&E) on November 7, 2011. As such, A&Es results of operations and financial position are reported as discontinued operations.
Gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 increased by 6.8% to $348.3 million (30.22% of sales) from $326.1 million (29.60% of sales) in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. For the 39 weeks ended July 1, 2012, gross profit increased by 7.3% to $1.02 billion (30.03% of sales) from $949.6 million (29.82% of sales) in the same period of fiscal 2011. The LIFO charge for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $1.5 million (0.13% of sales) as compared to $5.9 million (0.54% of sales) in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The LIFO charge for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was $7.4 million (0.22% of sales) as compared to $11.2 million (0.35% of sales) for the first nine months of fiscal 2011.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2012 increased from the respective prior year periods as a result incremental store growth and its impact on associated operational costs and approximately $22.3 million of impairment losses and other incremental costs associated with the Lowes Foods Transaction. In addition, SG&A expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 included gains of $3.1 million recognized from life insurance proceeds. On a percent of sales basis, SG&A expenses for the quarter increased by 218 basis points (of which 194 basis points represented the Lowes Foods Transaction costs) during the quarter and increased by 66 basis points (of which all 66 basis points represented the Lowes Foods Transaction costs) for the 39 weeks ended July 1, 2012, as compared to the comparable periods of the prior year. The Companys emphasis on cost controls and improved labor management has been effective in offsetting a portion of the increases in health and welfare costs, pension expense and other fringe benefit costs, as well as increased costs associated with the Companys store remodeling program.
Operating profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $32.5 million, comprised of Harris Teeter operating profit of $31.7 million ($54.0 million, or 4.69% to sales, without the Lowes Foods Transaction costs) and Corporate operating profit of $0.8 million. Operating profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $48.2 million, comprised of Harris Teeter operating profit of $50.7 million (4.60% to sales) and Corporate operating losses of $2.4 million.
For the 39 weeks ended July 1, 2012, operating profit was $131.3 million, comprised of Harris Teeter operating profit of $136.1 million ($158.4 million, or 4.67% to sales, without the Lowes Foods Transaction costs) and Corporate operating losses of $4.8 million. For the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2011, operating profit was $137.6 million, comprised of Harris Teeter operating profit of $146.0 million (4.59% to sales) and Corporate operating losses of $8.4 million.
The Company reported net earnings of $15.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to net earnings of $32.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Net
earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 were comprised of earnings from continuing operations of $20.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, and a loss from discontinued operations of $4.2 million, which included an income tax expense adjustment of $3.5 million for establishing a reserve against future utilization of tax benefits as a result of the A&E purchase price allocation which re-categorized more of the loss on sale as a capital loss. The net impact of the Lowes Foods Transaction costs and insurance gains reduced earnings from continuing operations after tax in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 by $10.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share. Net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were comprised of earnings from continuing operations of $26.3 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, and earnings from discontinued operations of $5.8 million.
Net earnings for the 39 weeks ended July 1, 2012 totaled $59.7 million and were comprised of earnings from continuing operations of $76.2 million, or $1.55 per diluted share and a loss from discontinued operations of $16.5 million. In addition to the Lowes Foods Transaction costs and insurance gains recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 as discussed above, earnings from continuing operations for fiscal 2012 were favorably impacted by a reversal of accrued interest amounting to $1.3 million that was associated with a reduction of the Companys unrecognized tax liabilities. The net impact of the Lowes Foods Transaction costs, insurance gains and interest expense reversal reduced earnings from continuing operations after tax during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 by $9.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. Net earnings for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2011 totaled $100.1 million and were comprised of earnings from continuing operations of $86.8 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, and earnings from discontinued operations of $13.3 million. Fiscal 2011 earnings from continuing operations included a pre-tax gain of $19.5 million ($10.3 million after tax or $0.21 per diluted share) from the sale of the Companys interest in a foreign investment.
The pre-tax loss from discontinued operations for the 39 weeks ended July 1, 2012 amounted to $19.0 million, $16.5 million after tax benefits or $0.34 per diluted share. As disclosed last year, the Company expected to incur additional non-cash charges for the settlement of pension liabilities and other employee benefits in connection with the sale of A&E. Accordingly, the Company recorded non-cash charges of $26.3 million ($12.9 million after tax) during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 that related to these anticipated costs. The majority of these losses resulted from adjustments for the recognition of a pro-rata share of the pension plans accumulated unrecognized net actuarial losses that was previously included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and the impact from allocating existing plan assets under pension regulations and was based on actuarial calculations. The Company is still in the process of reviewing the purchase price allocation and its impact on income taxes. Finalizing this review could result in additional adjustments in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.
Thomas W. Dickson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer stated, We are pleased with our results for the quarter and the completion of our purchase and sale transaction with Lowes Foods. As we reported, the non-cash impairment charges and additional incremental expenses we incurred in this transaction reduced the Companys operating profit by $22.3 million and decreased the operating margin by 194 basis points in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Without these additional costs, our operating profit margin for the quarter would have increased by 38 basis points compared to last year.
Our pricing and promotional strategies continue to be effective in driving unit sales, customer visits and increasing market share. During the quarter we experienced increased unit sales on a comparable store basis and have continued this positive trend into the fourth quarter. In addition, our store brand penetration on both a unit and sales dollar basis improved over the prior year. We believe these positive results are a result of our continuing commitment to our customers to deliver outstanding values and excellent customer service.
The Companys operating performance and strong financial position provides the flexibility to continue with its store development program for new and replacement stores along with the remodeling and expansion of existing stores. Capital expenditures are planned to total approximately $215 million for fiscal 2012 and $255 million for fiscal 2013. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company plans to open a total of seven stores (six of the ten stores acquired from Lowes Foods and one additional store) and complete major remodels on nine stores, five of which will be expanded in size. The Company continues to accelerate its new store growth. The new store development program for fiscal 2012 is expected to result in a 4.5% increase in retail square footage, as compared to a 3.2% increase in fiscal 2011. During fiscal 2013, the Company plans to open 12 new stores (two of which are replacements), open the three stores acquired from Lowes Foods that are being converted to the new innovative format and complete major remodels on nine stores (three of which will be expanded in size). The fiscal 2013 new store openings are currently scheduled for three in the first quarter, two in the second quarter, two in the third quarter and eight in the fourth quarter. The Company routinely evaluates its existing store operations in regards to its overall business strategy and from time to time will close or divest underperforming stores.
The Companys capital expenditure plans entail the continued expansion of its existing markets, including the Washington, D.C. metro market area which incorporates northern Virginia, the District of Columbia, southern Maryland and coastal Delaware. Real estate development by its nature is both unpredictable and subject to external factors including weather, construction schedules and costs. Any change in the amount and timing of new store development can impact the expected capital expenditures, sales and operating results.
The Companys management remains cautious in its expectations for the remainder of fiscal 2012 due to the current economic environment and its impact on the Companys customers. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company expects to incur approximately $4.4 million of additional expenses related to the Lowes Foods Transaction. The Company will continue to refine its merchandising strategies to respond to the changing shopping demands. The retail grocery market remains intensely competitive, and any operating improvement will be dependent on the Companys ability to increase its market share and to effectively execute the Companys strategic expansion plans.

Definition of Comparable Store Sales:
Comparable store sales are computed using corresponding calendar weeks to account for the occasional extra week included in a fiscal year.
A new store must be in operation for 14 months before it enters into the calculation of comparable store sales. A closed store is removed from the calculation in the month in which its closure is announced. A new store opening within an approximate two-mile radius of an existing store that is to be closed upon the new store opening is included as a replacement store in the comparable store sales measure as if it were the same store. Sales increases resulting from existing comparable stores that are expanded in size are included in the calculations of comparable store sales, if the store remains open during the construction period. If the location is closed, the sales during the period are removed from the calculation. If the location is completely rebuilt, it is reported as a replacement store and included in the same store sales calculation for the weeks actually open.
