NUTRISYSTEM ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

Company Reports 19% Year-over-Year Revenue Growth

 

Company Exceeds Third Quarter Revenue Expectations and Raises Full Year Revenue and EPS Guidance

 

Fort Washington, PA—October 26, 2016—Nutrisystem, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRI), a leading provider of weight management products and services, today reported financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Dawn Zier, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our ongoing record of success underscores the health of the business and growing demand for our expanding portfolio of products. As we gear up for 2017, we’re excited about our Diet Season plans for our primary brand, Nutrisystem, and remain on track for the 2017 launch of the South Beach Diet program. We’re strongly positioned to achieve further long-term growth and value creation for our shareholders.”

 

The following are key financial highlights for the period. Reconciliations of certain GAAP to non-GAAP measures are provided later in this press release.

 

Third Quarter 2016 Compared to Third Quarter 2015

 

 

Revenue increased 19% to $124.6 million, compared to $104.9 million.

 

Net income increased 9% to $7.9 million, which reflects a $1.3 million pre-tax non-cash IT asset write-down, compared to $7.3 million.

 

Diluted income per common share increased 8% to $0.27, compared to $0.25.

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased 25% to $18.1 million, compared to $14.5 million.

 

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.175 per share, payable November 17, 2016 to stockholders of record as of November 7, 2016.

 

Mike Monahan, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Our third quarter and year-to-date results reflected strong top-line growth and solid cash flow even as we continue to invest in new opportunities that we believe will propel the long-term expansion of our business. As a result of this performance, we are raising our guidance ranges for the full year.”

 

Fourth Quarter and Updated Full Year 2016 Guidance

 

The Company’s fourth quarter and updated full year 2016 guidance are outlined below. Reconciliations of certain GAAP to non-GAAP measures are provided later in this press release.

 


 

 

Fourth quarter revenue is expected to be in the range of $96.5 to $101.5 million, net income   between $6.1 and $7.5 million, diluted income per common share between $0.20 and $0.25, and adjusted EBITDA between $14.4 and $16.4 million. This guidance includes $0.8 million of net operating expense and $0.3 million of amortization expense, or $0.02 per common share expense, for the South Beach Diet and Shake360 initiatives.

 

Full year 2016 revenue is now expected to be in the range of $533 to $538 million compared to previous range of $520 to $532 million, net income between $32.8 and $34.1 million compared to the previous range of $31.1 to $33.6 million, diluted income per common share between $1.10 and $1.15 compared to previous range of $1.05 and $1.13, and adjusted EBITDA between $70.5 and $72.5 million compared to previous range of $66.8 and $70.5 million. This updated guidance includes $1.3 million of a non-cash expense related to IT asset write-down (or $0.03 per common share expense), $5.5 million of net operating expense and $1.0 million of amortization expense (or $0.14 per common share expense) for the South Beach Diet and Shake360 initiatives.

The conference call will include remarks from President and Chief Executive Officer Dawn Zier, Chief Financial Officer Mike Monahan, and Chief Marketing Officer Keira Krausz.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures  

 

Within this announcement, the Company makes reference to certain adjusted financial measures which have directly comparable GAAP financial measures as identified in this press release. In this release, EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is provided so that investors have the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist the investment community in properly assessing the ongoing performance of the Company for the periods being reported and future periods. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding non-cash employee compensation. The Company excludes non-cash employee compensation because it is a non-cash expense that is not reflective of the cash expenses of the Company. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
