Burlington Announces Second Quarter and Year-To-Date Fiscal 2013 Operating Results

BURLINGTON, NEW JERSEY, September 13, 2013 – Burlington Coat Factory Investments Holdings, Inc. and its operating subsidiaries (the Company), a nationwide retailer based in Burlington, New Jersey, today announced its results for the second quarter and year to date ended August 3, 2013.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2013 Operating Results

Comparative store sales increased 7.8% and total net sales increased 11.5% to $963.7 million for the three months ended August 3, 2013 compared with last year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended August 3, 2013 increased 68.1%, or $19.0 million, to $46.9 million compared with $27.9 million for the three months ended July 28, 2012. The increase in the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA was driven by our 11.5% total sales increase and a 60 basis point increase in gross margin rate.

Adjusted Net Loss improved $13.9 million during this year’s second quarter to a loss of $8.0 million. This improvement was driven by improved operating results during this year’s quarter, primarily our 7.8% comparative store sales gain and the gross margin rate increase.

Year to Date Fiscal 2013 Operating Results

Comparative store sales increased 5.5% and total net sales increased 9.9% to $2,028.7 million for the six months ended August 3, 2013 compared with last year.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 36.5%, or $33.8 million, to $126.5 million for the six months ended August 3, 2013 compared with last year. The increase was driven by the sales improvement realized during the quarter and a 50 basis point improvement in gross margin rate.

Adjusted Net Income amounted to $3.0 million for the six months period versus a $21.1 million Adjusted Net Loss last year. The improvement is reflective of our sales and margin gains.

Tom Kingsbury, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are proud of our second quarter results including our 68.1% increase in Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter, 11.5% overall sales growth and, most importantly, our 7.8% comparative store sales increase. I would like to thank our store and corporate teams for contributing to these results.”

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

The following tables calculate the Company’s Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are considered Non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a Non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss) for the period plus (i) net interest expense, (ii) loss on the extinguishment of debt, (iii) income tax provision (benefit), (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) impairment charges, (vi) costs related to debt amendments, (vii) stock option modification expense and (viii) advisory fees.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as consolidated net income (loss) for the period plus (i) net favorable lease amortization, (ii) costs related to debt amendments, (iii) loss on the extinguishment of debt, (iv) impairment charges, (v) advisory fees and (vi) stock option modification expense, all of which are tax effected to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (Loss).

The Company presents Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes they are useful supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of the business and provide greater transparency into the results of operations. In particular, the Company believes that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from operating income are useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the Company’s ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, respectively, and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods.

The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) provide investors helpful information with respect to the Company’s operations and financial condition. Other companies in the retail industry may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently such that the Company’s calculation may not be directly comparable. The adjustments to these metrics are not in accordance with regulations adopted by the SEC that apply to periodic reports presented under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) may be presented differently in filings made with the SEC than as presented in this report or not presented at all.
