LEAPFROG REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Financial Results Declined Year-Over-Year, Largely Due to Carry-Forward Retail Inventory from Last Holiday Season and the Timing of New Product Shipments
Positioned for a Strong Holiday Season with New Product Introductions
in New Entertainment Categories
EMERYVILLE, Calif.—August 4, 2014—LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:LF) today announced financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014. In May, LeapFrog announced a fiscal year-end change from December 31 to March 31 in order to simplify business processes. As a result, the quarter ended June 30, 2014 is the first quarter of the new fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.
Highlights of financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2013:
| · | Consolidated net sales were $47.0 million, down 43%. U.S. segment net sales were down 47%, and international segment net sales were down 34%. |
| · | Net loss per basic and diluted share was $0.23, compared to a net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.05 a year ago. |
| · | Cash and cash equivalents were $199.2 million as of June 30, 2014, up 10% compared to $181.4 million as of June 30, 2013. |
“Our business so far this year has been significantly hindered by retail inventory carry-forward from Holiday 2013, tough conditions in most of our key markets and the planned later launch of our major new product introductions for the year. While these difficulties have caused our financial performance to decline substantially during our seasonally slow quarters, we are making good progress on our growth initiatives, which should position us well for a strong holiday season, expansion into new major entertainment categories and profitable long-term growth,” said John Barbour, Chief Executive Officer.
“This year we are launching two exciting new lines of products in brand-new entertainment categories for us that encourage active play and that will expand and further diversify our business. Childhood obesity has more than doubled over the last 30 years. Our mission at LeapFrog is to help children achieve their potential, and to this end, many children desperately need help and encouragement to get more active. Hitting store shelves this month is LeapBand, which was inspired by the Let’s Move initiative by First Lady Michelle Obama. LeapBand is the first wearable activity tracker created for children that encourages active play and healthy habits while nurturing a personalized virtual pet. LeapBand will be launched on September 6th with a major PR event in Los Angeles featuring Mia Hamm, the international soccer star and mother of three young children, as spokesperson. In October, we will launch LeapTV, an innovative educational, active video game console system for younger children that by year-end will offer more than 100 pieces of content, with games designed to get kids’ minds and bodies moving.

“We recently hosted our annual product showcase in New York City to demonstrate these lines for retail partners, the media, investors and other industry experts. We are very excited by the feedback we received and believe that LeapTV will be featured on many retailer and media Top Toy lists this holiday season. There is significant excitement for these innovative new products that are in high-growth entertainment categories currently not being addressed for younger children. The LeapBand and LeapTV lines are great examples of LeapFrog’s unique ability to create engaging educational entertainment experiences that help children achieve their potential.
“In addition, this summer we are launching two new versions of our top-selling LeapPad children’s tablets, the LeapPad3 and LeapPad Ultra XDi. We will also add more than 370 new pieces of content this year to our unique multimedia library, where every game, app, video, book and music track has been developed or reviewed by our full-time in-house team of child development and educational experts. LeapFrog pioneered the children’s tablet market with the launch of the original LeapPad in 2011. Three years later, LeapPads are still the best first tablets for children and they continue to be the top-selling children’s tablet line in our major markets.
“We are also making significant strategic investments in creating additional new platforms and content, international expansion, online communities and information technology systems. We believe these investments will start to positively impact our bottom line next year and will position us well for long-term growth and continued leadership in educational entertainment.”
Financial Overview for the First Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to the Quarter Ended June 30, 2013
LeapFrog previously announced a fiscal year-end change from December 31 to March 31 in order to simplify business processes. As a result, the quarter ended June 30, 2014 is the first quarter of the new fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.
First fiscal quarter net sales were $47.0 million, down 43% compared to $83.0 million last year, and were not materially impacted by changes in currency exchange rates. In the U.S. segment, net sales were $30.7 million, down 47% compared to $58.4 million last year. In the International segment, net sales were $16.3 million, down 34% compared to $24.6 million last year, and were not materially impacted by changes in currency exchange rates.
Net sales for the first fiscal quarter were negatively impacted by high inventory levels at retail entering the fiscal year that were carried over from the 2013 holiday season, which drove retailers to discount products, cut replenishment orders and required higher trade allowances, partially offset by the calendar shift of Easter. Net sales also faced an exceptionally tough sales comparison from last year’s exceptional June quarter sales performance, which was driven by new product introductions that will not occur until the September and December quarters of this year. In addition, net sales in the prior year were driven by high post-season demand for our LeapPad tablets and content in Spring 2013, following an exceptional Holiday 2012 performance when our tablets held three of the top 10 selling toy slots in the U.S. and our Explorer assortment of content was the No. 1 selling toy in the U.S. according to NPD1.
Loss from operations for the first fiscal quarter was $25.7 million, compared to a loss from operations of $4.1 million last year.

Net loss for the first fiscal quarter was $16.4 million, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million last year. Net loss per basic and diluted share was $0.23, compared to a net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.05 last year.
Adjusted EBITDA2 (non-GAAP) for the first fiscal quarter was a loss of $16.2 million, compared to a gain of $3.4 million last year.
“We expected a decline in our financial performance year-over-year given higher levels of retail carryover inventory from Holiday 2013, the comparative timing of new product launches and a difficult comparison to the prior year,” said Ray Arthur, Chief Financial Officer. “However, the decline in net sales and gross margin was slightly more than expected as we helped retail partners discount our products to reduce retail inventory levels. Given our ability to reduce operating expenses, our net loss for the quarter was about what we expected despite the net sales and gross margin declines.”
Guidance
“We expect our financial results to decline year-over-year in the September quarter due to remaining elevated retail inventory levels, continued challenging POS trends and the comparative timing of new product launches. In addition, our sales projections have declined with the deferral of our consumer electronics tablet until next year to allow us to focus on the launch of our major new platform introduction – LeapTV. However, we expect solid net sales growth in both the December and March quarters, led largely by sales of new releases including LeapTV, LeapBand, LeapPad3, LeapPad Ultra XDi and related content,” continued Mr. Arthur.
“We are lowering our outlook for the year given our June quarter performance, POS trends, and a very back-end loaded year with LeapTV shipping at the end of September.
“Previously, we provided guidance for the full calendar year. We are now providing full fiscal year guidance for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2015 to align with our new fiscal year end that we announced in May. We expect full fiscal year net sales to decline moderately year-over-year due to the issues we’ve already discussed … elevated beginning retail inventory levels, a challenging market environment and POS trends as well as the timing of new product shipments. Partially offsetting these challenges will be the introduction of new products that we expect to perform very well in the market place in fiscal 2015 and beyond. We believe LeapTV will be a big hit when it launches, but it won’t start shipping until the end of September, limiting the upside for this year but positioning us nicely for next year. For the fiscal year, we expect our net income per share to decline year-over-year due to the net sales decline and our long-term investments in the business to drive future growth. These long-term investments are being made in new platforms and content, international expansion, online communities and information systems, and we expect to benefit from these investments starting in the next fiscal year.”
For the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, we expect:
| · | Net sales to be in the range of $480 million to $505 million compared to $528 million for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2014. |
| · | Net income (loss) per basic and diluted share to be in the range of a loss per share of $0.04 to an income per share of $0.10. For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2014, net income per diluted share (GAAP) was $1.07 and normalized net income per diluted share[2] (non-GAAP) was $0.18. We are providing normalized net income (loss)2 measures, which are non-GAAP measures, to help investors review our performance and performance trends excluding discrete tax items which have historically been significant. |
| · | Capital expenditures to be in the range of $30 million to $40 million as we make long-term, strategic investments in our business, particularly in our information technology systems. Capital expenditures include purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of product costs. |
2 Normalized net income (loss) per basic and diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is described below and reconciled to its comparable GAAP measure in the accompanying financial tables.

For the second fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2014, we expect:
| · | Net sales to be in the range of $125 million to $130 million. |
| · | Net income (loss) per diluted share to be in the range of a loss per share of $0.03 to an income per share of $0.01. |

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, specifically normalized net income (loss), normalized net income (loss) per basic or diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA.
Normalized net income (loss) is calculated as net income (loss) adjusted to reflect an effective 37.5% tax rate and excludes actual tax benefits and tax expenses. Normalized net income (loss) per basic and diluted share is calculated as normalized net income (loss) divided by weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding, as applicable. As required by SEC rules, we have provided a schedule with a reconciliation of normalized net income (loss) and normalized net income (loss) per basic and diluted share to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per basic and diluted share.
LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc.
Page 5 of 11
Management believes that normalized net income (loss) and normalized net income (loss) per basic and diluted share are some of the appropriate measures for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because of the significant swing in net income (loss) and net income (loss) per basic and diluted share as a result of the deferred tax valuation allowance release and other discrete tax items, and therefore, provides a more comparable measure of year-over-year operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings (or net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other expenses (income), and stock-based compensation. As required by SEC rules, we have provided an attached schedule with a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income.
Management believes adjusted EBITDA is one of the appropriate measures for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because it reflects the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, to invest in the business, strengthen the balance sheet, and make strategic acquisitions.
However, these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP as more fully discussed in the Company's financial statements and filings with the SEC. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. As used herein, "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
