Reduced Net Debt by Over $300 Million Compared to Fiscal 2018 Year-end
Completed Exit of Farm Fresh and Sale-leaseback of Seven Distribution Centers
Company Will Not Hold Earnings Call Due to Announced Transaction with United Natural Foods Inc.
MINNEAPOLIS - (BUSINESS WIRE) - July 26, 2018--SUPERVALU INC. (NYSE: SVU) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended June 16, 2018.
First Quarter Fiscal 2019 Financial Summary — Continuing Operations (Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2018):
• | Consolidated net sales of $4.76 billion increased $1.24 billion, or 35 percent, including $1.34 billion from Unified Grocers and AG Florida |
• | Wholesale net sales of $3.81 billion increased $1.26 billion, or 49 percent |
• | Retail identical store sales of positive 0.4 percent |
• | Net loss of $27 million compared to net earnings of $9 million last year |
• | Adjusted net loss of $7 million compared to adjusted net earnings of $21 million last year |
• | Adjusted EBITDA of $98 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $118 million last year |
• | Total outstanding net debt, including capital leases, of $1.56 billion, a reduction of $305 million since the end of fiscal 2018 |
Operational Updates
• | Supervalu successfully closed on the previously announced sale and leaseback of seven owned distribution centers and received approximately $382 million in aggregate proceeds, the net proceeds of which were used to reduce outstanding debt. The sale and leaseback of the eighth distribution center is expected to close by October 2018 as originally expected. |
• | Supervalu has completed the exit of its Farm Fresh banner. Twenty-one stores were sold to Harris Teeter, Kroger, and Food Lion. Five stores were sold to independent retailers and will be supplied by Supervalu’s Wholesale business. The remaining stores were closed. |
• | Supervalu continues to pursue the sale of its corporately owned and operated Shop ‘n Save (based in St. Louis) and Shop ‘n Save East (with stores in West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia) retail operations. |
“A key initiative within our business transformation plan is to drive sales growth, and our topline sales benefited greatly from the two acquisitions we completed last year, contributing more than $1.3 billion in wholesale sales growth this quarter,” said President and CEO Mark Gross. “Two transformational initiatives completed this quarter included completing the exit from our Farm Fresh banner and closing the sale-leaseback transactions for seven of our distribution centers, both significant accomplishments that we believe will deliver long-term benefits to the business and our stockholders.”
Gross continued, “We also accelerated a distribution center consolidation that led to higher than anticipated operating costs during the quarter, which we believe are largely behind us. Going forward, we know that some of the operational initiatives we’re pursuing will take time to be fully reflected in our financial results, but this work is fundamentally changing this company for the better.”
First Quarter Results — Continuing Operations
First quarter net sales were $4.76 billion compared to $3.52 billion for the first quarter last year, an increase of $1.24 billion or 35 percent. Total Wholesale segment net sales increased 49 percent. Retail identical store sales were positive 0.4 percent. Fees earned under corporate services agreements in the first quarter were $40 million compared to $55 million for the first quarter last year.
Gross profit for the first quarter was $428 million or 9.0 percent of net sales. Last year’s first quarter gross profit was $431 million, or 12.2 percent of net sales. The gross profit rate decrease compared to last year is primarily due to the change in business segment mix, with Wholesale representing a larger portion of total sales and gross profit, and the contribution from Unified Grocers at a lower gross profit rate.
Selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter were $428 million and included $11 million in store closure charges and costs, $9 million of severance costs, $6 million in merger and integration costs and $1 million in costs related to our holding company structure reorganization, partially offset by a $4 million gain on the sale of property. When adjusted for these items, selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter were $405 million, or 8.5 percent of net sales. Selling and administrative
expenses in last year’s first quarter were $387 million and included a $9 million legal reserve charge, $4 million of merger and integration costs and $2 million in severance costs, partially offset by a gain on sale of property of $2 million. When adjusted for these items, last year’s first quarter selling and administrative expenses were $374 million, or 10.6 percent of net sales. The improvement in our adjusted selling and administrative expense rate compared to last year was primarily driven by the change in business segment mix toward Wholesale, partially offset by higher employee-related costs.
Net interest expense for the first quarter was $49 million and included $5 million of debt refinancing costs and $3 million of unamortized financing charges. When adjusted for these items, net interest expense for the first quarter was $41 million. Net interest expense in last year’s first quarter was $43 million and included $3 million of unamortized financing charges and $2 million of debt refinancing costs. When adjusted for these items, last year’s first quarter interest expense was $38 million. The increase in adjusted net interest expense was driven by higher average outstanding debt balances following the purchase of Unified Grocers and AG Florida.
Income tax benefit in the first quarter was $10 million, compared to income tax expense of $11 million in last year’s first quarter.
Wholesale
First quarter Wholesale net sales were $3.81 billion compared to $2.56 billion for the first quarter last year, an increase of 49 percent. The net sales increase is primarily due to the sales contribution from the acquired Unified Grocers and AG Florida businesses, sales to new customers and sales to new stores operated by existing customers, partially offset by stores no longer operated by customers, lower net sales to existing customer stores and lower military sales.
Wholesale operating earnings in the first quarter were $48 million and included a $4 million gain on the sale of property and $2 million of income from a severance benefit. When adjusted for these items, first quarter Wholesale operating earnings were $42 million, or 1.1 percent of net sales. Last year’s first quarter Wholesale operating earnings were $58 million and included a $9 million legal reserve charge. When adjusted for this item, Wholesale operating earnings were $67 million, or 2.6 percent of net sales. The decrease in adjusted Wholesale operating earnings, as a percent of net sales, was driven by the mix impact from the acquired Unified Grocers business, which contributed to operating earnings at a lower percent of net sales, higher allocated corporate overhead costs, and costs associated with transitioning volume from a closed distribution center. Operational cost synergies are expected to increase operating earnings as a percent of net sales in future periods.
Retail
First quarter Retail net sales were $901 million, compared to $906 million for the first quarter last year, a decrease of 0.6 percent. Identical store sales were positive 0.4 percent, but were more than offset by lost sales from closed stores.
Retail operating loss in the first quarter was $20 million and included $11 million in severance costs and $3 million in store closure charges and costs. When adjusted for these items, Retail operating loss in the first quarter was $6 million, or 0.6 percent of net sales. For last year’s first quarter, Retail operated at break-even operating earnings. The decrease in adjusted Retail operating earnings, as a percent of net sales, was primarily driven by lower sales, higher shrink and other operating costs.
Corporate
First quarter fees earned under services agreements were $40 million compared to $55 million last year.
Net Corporate operating loss in the first quarter was $28 million and included $8 million in store closure charges and costs, $6 million in merger and integration costs and $1 million in costs related to our holding company structure reorganization. When adjusted for these items, net corporate operating loss in the first quarter was $13 million. Last year’s first quarter net Corporate operating loss was $14 million and included $4 million of merger and integration costs and $2 million of severance costs, partially offset by a $2 million gain on sale of property. When adjusted for these items, last year’s net Corporate operating loss was $10 million.
Discontinued Operations
The results of operations, financial position and cash flows related to the corporately owned and operated retail operations of Farm Fresh, Shop ‘n Save and Shop ‘n Save East are reported in discontinued operations for all historical periods.
Cash Flows — Continuing Operations
First quarter net cash flows used in operating activities were $64 million compared to net cash flows provided by operating activities of $30 million last year, primarily reflecting cash utilized for net working capital and other assets and liabilities to support higher Wholesale sales volumes, a higher cash tax refund received last year, and lower cash generated from earnings. First quarter net cash flows provided by investing activities were $315 million compared to net cash flows used in investing activities of $77 million last year, primarily reflecting proceeds received from the sale-leaseback of seven distribution centers. First quarter net cash flows used in financing activities were $318 million, compared to net cash flows provided by financing activities of $5 million last year, primarily reflecting the redemption of $220 million of the 6.75 percent Senior Notes due June 2021, $134 million of mandatory prepayments on the secured term loan facility and the $26 million pay-off of the Harrisburg, PA distribution center mortgage.
