SAFEWAY INC. ANNOUNCES
FOURTH QUARTER
2013 RESULTS
Safeway Inc. Announces it is in Discussions Regarding a Possible Sale of the Company
Company Plans to Distribute Blackhawk Shares to Stockholders
Company also Exploring Monetization of its Ownership in Casa Ley
Contact: Melissa Plaisance (925) 467-3136
Christiane Pelz (925) 467-3832
Pleasanton, CA - February 19, 2014 - (NYSE-SWY) Safeway Inc. today announced it is in discussions concerning a possible transaction involving the sale of the company. Although the discussions are ongoing, the company has not reached an agreement on a transaction, and there can be no assurance that these discussions will lead to an agreement or a completed transaction. The company will not comment further on these discussions at this time.
Separately, the company has decided to distribute the remaining 37.8 million shares it owns of Blackhawk Network Holdings (approximately 72.2% of the outstanding Blackhawk shares) to Safeway stockholders. Currently, the plan is to make the distribution on a pro rata basis to all Safeway stockholders in a transaction intended to be tax-free to Safeway and its stockholders. However, if the company consummates a sale transaction, the distribution may be taxable. The timing and details of the proposed distribution will be determined in the near future, and further announcements will be made when those decisions have been finalized.
In addition, Safeway owns 49% of Casa Ley S.A. de C.V. ("Casa Ley"), the fifth largest food and general merchandise retailer in Mexico based on sales. Based on Casa Ley's improving performance, the company believes it is an appropriate time to explore alternatives to monetize its investment in Casa Ley. While the company has discussed its desire to monetize its investment with the majority owners of Casa Ley, there can be no assurance as to whether the company will be able to sell its interest in Casa Ley at a price and on terms that the company finds acceptable.
“We are pleased with the progress we made in 2013,” said Robert Edwards, Safeway’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Strategies to grow sales and improve operating profit dollars have begun to produce results. In 2013, we generated our best volume growth since 2006, and we had our best identical-store sales growth in the last five years. At the same time, we continue to pursue strategies to
enhance momentum and increase shareholder value. We look forward to continuing progress in 2014.”
Results From Continuing Operations
Safeway Inc. today reported net earnings from continuing operations of $100.0 million ($0.35 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $170.7 million ($0.71 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2012. The fourth quarter of 2013 includes a $57.4 million loss ($0.14 per diluted share) on foreign currency translation, a $30.0 million loss ($0.08 per diluted share) from the impairment of notes receivable and a $9.7 million gain (net of noncontrolling interest of $3.8 million) ($0.04 per diluted share) from the reduction of contingent consideration related to Blackhawk's acquisition of Cardpool. The fourth quarter of 2012 includes a $46.5 million gain ($0.12 per diluted share) from legal settlements.
Excluding these items, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations was $0.53 in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $0.59 in the fourth quarter of 2012. (See Table 5.)
Sales and Other Revenue
Sales and other revenue was $11.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $11.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012. An identical-store sales increase (excluding fuel) of 1.6% was largely offset by a decline in fuel sales.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased 20 basis points to 26.52% of sales in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to 26.32% of sales in the fourth quarter of 2012. Excluding the eight basis-point impact from fuel sales and fuel partner discounts, gross profit increased 12 basis points due primarily to reduced advertising expense and increased LIFO income, partly offset by increased shrink and increased revenue from Blackhawk gift card sales which have a lower gross profit margin than grocery sales.
Operating and Administrative Expense
Operating and administrative expense increased 58 basis points to 24.00% of sales in the fourth quarter of 2013 from 23.42% of sales in the fourth quarter of 2012. Excluding the 29 basis-point impact from fuel sales, operating and administrative expense increased 29 basis points. This increase was primarily the result of the $46.5 million gain from legal settlements in 2012 and impairment of notes receivable totaling $30.0 million in 2013, partly offset by reduced self-insurance expense, higher gains on sale of property and a $13.5 million reduction in the fair value of contingent consideration related to the Blackhawk acquisition of Cardpool.
Self-insurance expense in the fourth quarter of 2013 declined $42.4 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. A 100 basis-point increase in the discount rate used to measure the present value of the self-insurance liability accounted for approximately $24 million of the decline in expense. The remaining decline was due primarily to company programs to reduce workers' compensation expense.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $81.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $86.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Lower average borrowings were partly offset by higher average interest rates.
2
Loss on Foreign Currency Translation
Loss on foreign currency translation was $57.4 million ($0.14 per diluted share) in the fourth quarter of 2013. This loss was primarily the result of translating investments and tax liabilities denominated in Canadian currency into U.S. currency for financial reporting purposes. These investments and tax liabilities arose from the sale of substantially all of the assets of Canada Safeway Limited in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Other Income
Other income was $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $8.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Other income in the fourth quarter of 2013 consisted primarily of $9.2 million of interest income and $3.4 million of equity in the earnings of Casa Ley, partly offset by $10.1 million of expense on the early redemption of debt. Other income in the fourth quarter of 2012 consisted of interest income of $4.0 million and equity in the earnings of Casa Ley of $4.3 million.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense increased to 32.6% of pre-tax income in the fourth quarter of 2013 from 30.7% in the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to deferred taxes on Blackhawk stock.
Discontinued Operations
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax was $3,228.2 million ($13.11 per diluted share) in the fourth quarter of 2013, which consisted primarily of the gain on the disposal of our Canadian operations. This compares to income from discontinued operations of $74.7 million ($0.31 per diluted share) in the fourth quarter of 2012. For the fiscal year 2013, income from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $3,275.9 million ($13.43 per diluted share) compared to $303.5 million ($1.22 per diluted share) in 2012. (See Table 6.)
Annual Results
Income from continuing operations, net of tax for the fiscal year 2013 was $246.3 million ($0.95 per diluted share) compared to $294.6 million ($1.18 per diluted share) in 2012. Diluted earnings per share after unusual items was $1.10 in 2013 compared to $1.06 in 2012. (See Table 5.)
Sales were $36.1 billion in 2013, essentially flat compared to $36.1 billion in 2012. Identical-store sales increases (excluding fuel) of 1.7% and higher other revenue were offset by lower fuel sales and the disposition of Safeway's Genuardi's stores. Identical-store sales increases (excluding fuel) were 0.8% in 2012.
Gross profit margin increased four basis points to 26.27% in 2013 from 26.23% in 2012. Excluding the 19 basis-point impact from fuel sales and fuel partner discounts, gross profit declined 15 basis points, primarily due to investments in price, increased revenue from Blackhawk and increased shrink expense, partly offset by reduced advertising expense and increased LIFO income.
Operating and administrative expense increased 24 basis points to 24.51% in 2013 from 24.27% in 2012. Excluding the 33 basis-point increase from fuel sales, operating and administrative expense decreased nine basis points primarily because of reduced self-insurance expense, the reduction in the fair value of contingent consideration related to the Blackhawk acquisition of Cardpool and lower depreciation expense, partly offset by the $46.5 million gain from legal settlements in 2012.
3
Income tax expense decreased to 26.7% of pre-tax income in 2013 from 32.5% in 2012 primarily due to the reversal of $17.2 million of deferred taxes on corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) policies in the first quarter of 2013.
Cash Flow
Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $1,045.8 million in 2013 compared to $1,288.9 million in 2012. This decrease was due primarily to income taxes paid.
Net cash flow used by investing activities was $621.3 million in 2013 compared to $614.3 million in 2012. Cash used in 2013 for business acquisitions by Blackhawk was partly offset by lower capital expenditures.
Net cash flow used by financing activities increased to $1,842.4 million in 2013 from $1,329.1 million in 2012 due primarily to increased payment of debt, partly offset by lower repurchases of stock.
Capital Expenditures
Safeway invested $331.2 million in capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2013. For the year, Safeway invested $767.4 million in capital expenditures.
Stock Repurchases
During the fourth quarter of 2013 Safeway repurchased 19.5 million shares of its common stock at an average cost of $33.93 per share and a total cost of $663.7 million (including commissions). The remaining board authorization for stock repurchases at year-end was approximately $2.2 billion.
Guidance
As a result of current events, Safeway is postponing its annual investor conference which had been scheduled for early March 2014. Guidance for the 53-week year 2014 is as follows:
• | ID sales (excluding fuel) - 1.5% to 2.5% |
• | Operating profit margin - Negative 10 basis points to flat compared with 2013 |
• | Diluted earnings per share - $1.15 to $1.35 (excluding any debt retirement or stock repurchases in 2014) |
• | Adjusted EBITDA - $1.66 billion to $1.76 billion |
• | Capital expenditures - $800 million to $900 million |
• | Free cash flow - $625 million to $725 million |
Guidance does not give effect to the planned distribution of Blackhawk shares.
