Body Central Corp. Announces Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Jacksonville, FL - October 31, 2013 - Body Central Corp. (Nasdaq: BODY) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2013.
Highlights for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2013:
• | Net revenues for the quarter decreased 10.4% to $60.8 million, compared to $67.9 million for the third quarter of 2012. |
• | Store sales decreased 10.1% to $55.7 million due to a comparable-store sales decrease of 18.3%, partially offset by a net increase of 28 stores from the same quarter last year. |
• | Direct sales decreased by 13.6% to $5.1 million from $5.9 million in the same quarter last year. |
• | The loss from operations was $15.5 million, as compared to income from operations of $196,000 for the third quarter in 2012. |
• | The net loss was $9.0 million, or $(0.55) per diluted share based on 16.4 million weighted average shares outstanding. Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $153,000, or $0.01 per diluted share based on 16.3 million weighted average shares outstanding. |
• | The Company opened 5 new stores during the third quarter and operated 291 stores as of September 28, 2013. |
Brian Woolf, Body Central’s CEO, stated: “Our third quarter results reflect the continued difficulty of driving traffic into our stores and the overall traffic slowdown within our segment. While our comparable sales decreased 18% for the quarter, we realized positive comp sales performance in our bottoms and shoe businesses. In addition, the eCommerce component of our direct business continues to grow rapidly as we shift our marketing spend to online traffic drivers such as email campaigns, display ads, and affiliate programs. During the third quarter, we saw direct business revenue attributed to eCommerce increase approximately threefold from prior year levels. We are also confident that our focus on nightlife and club wear will resonate with our customers this holiday season. The introduction of our Sexy Stretch line performed well and we have plans to expand the offering. Our priorities continue to be to improve merchandise assortments, customer messaging and store traffic. We are initiating several key marketing actions during the holiday season to expand our customer base and reactivate former customers."
Mr. Woolf further stated: "Due to the longer transition period, we have reduced our corporate staff by 11% effective immediately, and have initiated other cost cutting measures that will be fully deployed by year end with the expectation that these initiatives will reduce our annualized SG&A exposure by $5 million."
In closing, Mr. Woolf said: "We believe our strategic direction and initiatives will support the re-engagement of our customer base while driving long-term sales growth and profitability."
Balance Sheet highlights as of September 28, 2013:
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $20.0 million at the end of the third quarter of 2013 compared to $36.9 million at the end of the third quarter in the prior year.
Average per store inventory at cost decreased 12.4% and average per store inventory units increased 4.0% from one year ago.
The Company had no long-term debt as of the end of the third quarter 2013 and 2012.
Reported results are preliminary and remain subject to adjustment until the filing of our Form 10-Q with the SEC.
