Steven R.

We have made significant progress during the quarter in improving our store presentation, refining our craft business, refocusing our merchandise organization, and expanding our replenishment process. We have also undertaken the liquidation of our aged products. While these activities have come at an initial short term cost, we are positioning our organization for improved fall and winter seasons.”

Operating Results
Gross margin for the quarter of 44.2% was a 30 basis point improvement compared to the 43.9% of the prior year’s first quarter. This increase reflects a 120 basis point reduction in merchandise cost offset by a 20 basis point increase in freight costs and a 70 basis point increase in sourcing and warehousing.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter have increased by $0.7 million to $27.3 million (44.1% of sales) from $26.6 million (42.2% of sales) last year. Increases have been driven by additional investment in initiatives to improve our store standards in preparation for the second half of the year.

During the quarter, the Company closed one store and ended the quarter with 264 stores.

Supplemental Disclosures Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company has presented Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) in this press release to provide investors with additional information to evaluate our operating performance and our ability to service our debt. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings before interest, income taxes, discontinued operations, depreciation and amortization, reorganization expenses and significant one-time items. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, among other things, to evaluate operating performance, to plan and forecast future periods’ operating performance, and as an incentive compensation target for certain management personnel.
As Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), this measure should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings (loss), as an indicator of operating performance, or net cash provided by operating activities as an indicator of liquidity. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. As Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain financial information compared with net earnings (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded. The table below shows a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities.
Comments in this news release that are not historical facts, including statements about our management team, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general economic trends, intense competition in our industry, adverse discounting actions taken by competitors, changes in consumer demand or purchase patterns, the terms of our significant indebtedness, delays or interruptions in the flow of merchandise between the Company’s suppliers and/or its distribution center and its stores, rising fuel costs, tightening of purchase terms by suppliers and their factors, a disruption in the Company’s data processing services and other risks and uncertainties discussed in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unforeseen events.
