“Thanks to the hard work of our entire Rite Aid team, we generated outstanding results in the fourth quarter, which helped us to deliver one of the best full-year performances in company history,” said Rite Aid Chairman, President and CEO John Standley. “In addition to setting a new company record for full-year Adjusted EBITDA, we generated full-year net income for the first time since fiscal 2007.”

 

“For Rite Aid, being able to report these results is a great moment that has been many years in the making. I’m very proud of our nearly 90,000 associates, who have worked together to execute key initiatives, grow sales, manage expenses and serve our customers like never before. Together, we are successfully transforming Rite Aid into a true neighborhood destination for health and wellness. As a result, our company is stronger and better equipped to meet the individual wellness needs of our valued customers and patients,” Standley added.

 

Fourth Quarter Summary

 

Revenues for the thirteen week fourth quarter were $6.5 billion compared to revenues of $7.1 billion in the prior year fourteen-week fourth quarter. Revenues decreased 9.7 percent primarily as a result of one less week this year and the impact of lower cost generics on pharmacy sales.

 

Same store sales for the quarter decreased 2.0 percent over the prior-year period, consisting of a 0.3 percent increase in the front end offset by a 3.1 percent decrease in the pharmacy. Pharmacy sales benefited from a 3.0 percent increase in the number of prescriptions filled in same stores, which was more than offset by an approximate 659 basis point negative impact from new generic introductions. Although new generic introductions have a negative impact on sales, they have a positive impact on gross profit. Prescription sales accounted for 66.5 percent of total drugstore sales and third party prescription sales were 96.6 percent of pharmacy sales.

 

Fourth quarter net income was $123.1 million or $0.13 per diluted share compared to last year’s fourth quarter net loss of $161.3 million or $0.18 per diluted share. An increase in Adjusted EBITDA and a LIFO credit resulting from significant generic drug deflation were the key contributors to the current quarter net income. Partially offsetting those improvements was a loss on debt retirement as a result of the refinancing completed during the quarter.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (which is reconciled to net income on the attached table) was $340.3 million or 5.3 percent of revenues compared to $274.3 million or 3.8 percent of revenues for the fourth quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA improved due to an improvement in pharmacy gross margin resulting from new generic introductions and an increase in prescriptions filled at comparable stores, partially offset by the impact of one less week in the current quarter.

 

In the fourth quarter, the company relocated four stores, remodeled 112 stores and closed 10 stores. Stores in operation at the end of the fourth quarter totaled 4,623. The Company had 797 wellness stores at year end.

Full Year Results

 

For the 52-week fiscal year ended March 2, 2013, Rite Aid had revenues of $25.4 billion compared to $26.1 billion for the 53-week prior year. Revenues decreased by 2.8 percent, primarily driven by one less week in fiscal 2013 and the impact of lower cost generics on pharmacy sales.

 

Same store sales for the year decreased 0.3 percent over the prior year period consisting of a front end same store sales increase of 1.4 percent offset by a 1.0 percent decrease in pharmacy same store sales. Pharmacy sales benefited from a 3.4 percent increase in the number of prescriptions filled in same stores, which was more than offset by an approximate 665 basis point negative impact from new generic introductions. Prescription sales accounted for 67.6 percent of total drugstore sales, and third party prescription sales were 96.6 percent of pharmacy sales.

 

Net income for fiscal 2013 was $118.1 million or $0.12 per diluted share compared to last year’s net loss of $368.6 million or $0.43 per diluted share. Contributing to the increase in net income was an increase in Adjusted EBITDA and a LIFO credit resulting from significant generic drug deflation, partially offset by a higher loss on debt retirement compared to last year.

 

As computed on the attached table, Adjusted EBITDA was $1,128.4 million or 4.4 percent of revenues for the year compared to $942.9 million or 3.6 percent of revenues for last year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by gross profit from increases in generic drugs dispensed and prescriptions filled at comparable stores, partially offset by the impact of one less week in the current fiscal year.

 

For the year, the company relocated 13 stores, remodeled 516 stores and closed 44 stores.

 

Outlook for Fiscal 2014

 

The company’s outlook for fiscal 2014 is based on the anticipated benefit of its wellness remodels, customer loyalty program and other initiatives to grow sales and drive operational efficiencies. The company’s outlook also considers the cycling of the prescriptions from the Walgreens/Express Scripts dispute, planned wage and benefit increases, the softening impact of new generic introductions and a challenging reimbursement rate environment.

 

Rite Aid said it expects sales to be between $24.9 billion and $25.3 billion in fiscal 2014 with same store sales expected to range from a decrease of 0.75 percent to an increase of 0.75 percent over fiscal 2013.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (which is reconciled to net income on the attached table) is expected to be between $1.075 billion and $1.175 billion.

 

Net income for fiscal 2014 is expected to be between $45 million and $200 million or income per diluted share of $0.04 to $0.20.

 

Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $400 million.
