Golfsmith Announces Third Quarter 2010 Results

AUSTIN, October 27, 2010 — Golfsmith International Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ: GOLF) today announced financial results for the third quarter fiscal 2010 ended October 2, 2010.

Third Quarter Highlights:

 

   

Net revenues increased 3% to $93.3 million as compared to net revenues of $90.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The net revenue increase was driven by sales from new store openings and a 5.8 percent increase in net revenues from its direct-to-consumer channel, partially offset by a 1.7 percent decrease in comparable store sales.

 

   

Operating loss totaled $1.1 million compared to operating income of $1.4 million for the same period last year. Third quarter 2010 operating loss included $1.6 million in charges related to store closings and lease termination costs. Third quarter 2009 operating income included a $0.4 million charge related to litigation settlement costs.

 

   

Net loss totaled $1.1 million, or $0.07 per share, as compared to net income of $1.1 million or $0.07 per diluted share for the same period last year. Excluding the store closing charges, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 would have been $0.5 million or $0.03 per diluted share. Excluding the litigation settlement charge, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 would have been $1.5 million or $0.09 per diluted share.

 

   

As of October 2, 2010, the Company had $42.6 million of outstanding borrowings under its credit facility and borrowing availability of $18.4 million. This compares to $33.7 million of outstanding borrowings under its credit facility, and $22.5 million of borrowing availability at October 3, 2009.

 

   

Average store inventory remained flat at October 2, 2010 as compared to October 3, 2009.

Martin Hanaka, chairman and chief executive officer of Golfsmith, commented, “Despite lower than expected comparable store sales performance, we continue to see solid evidence from industry data sources of market share gains as we execute on our strategic plan. Our initiatives have led to a sequential increase in conversion rates, improvement in our direct-to consumer business, and a stronger overall store base due to recent store closures. As we continue to operate in an inconsistent retail environment, we will remain diligent in maintaining disciplined inventory management and expense controls, while at the same time making strategic investments to drive sales. Looking ahead, I am confident that we are well positioned for future growth when the macro-economic environment improves.”

Year-to-Date Results

 

   

Net revenues were $279.0 million for the nine-month period ended October 2, 2010 as compared to net revenues of $274.2 million for the same period last year. The 1.7% increase was driven by sales from new store openings, partially offset by a 1.0 percent decrease in comparable store sales and a 2.2 percent decrease in net revenues from its direct-to-consumer channel.


 

   

Operating income totaled $0.9 million as compared to operating income of $4.3 million for the first nine months of last year. Operating income for the nine-month period ended October 2, 2010 included the $1.6 million in store closing costs as discussed above. Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 included the $0.4 million litigation settlement charge recorded in the third quarter, stated above, and a $0.5 million charge related to severance associated with organizational changes reported in last year’s first quarter.

 

   

Net income totaled $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share compared to net income of $2.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share for the nine-month period ended October 3, 2009. Excluding the above-mentioned charges, net income would have been $0.11 per diluted share for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 as compared to $0.22 per diluted share for the same period last year.
