NAVARRE REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 2012

Company Announces Restructuring Initiatives to Increase Focus on

Profitable Growth in Core Business

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – October 31, 2011 – Navarre (Nasdaq: NAVR), a leading distributor and provider of complete logistics solutions, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of its 2012 fiscal year.

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 Results

 

   

Net sales from continuing operations were $106.6 million, as compared to net sales from continuing operations of $120.5 million for the second quarter of the prior year.

 

   

Operating loss from continuing operations before income tax was $1.6 million during the second quarter, as compared to operating income from continuing operations before income tax of $3.2 million in the prior year.

 

   

Net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $1.3 million, a loss of $0.03 per diluted share, versus net income from continuing operations of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in the same period of the prior year.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the second quarter was a loss of $382,000, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $4.2 million in the prior year’s second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA does not include stock-based compensation expense or CEO transition costs. (See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.)

 

   

The Company had no debt and a cash balance of $5.4 million at September 30, 2011, as compared to debt of $14.4 million at September 30, 2010, an improvement of $19.8 million.

Richard Willis, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We had a difficult quarter, primarily due to a decline in the sale of software products. However, we are well positioned to focus on our core strengths in logistics and distribution to our retail partners. We have aggressively entered the consumer electronics and accessories markets, divested non-core assets, and are now restructuring to reduce expense. These expense reductions and increased efficiencies will allow Navarre to competitively price our products and services to gain new business while increasing our focus on customer support, sales and marketing.

“During the second quarter, we added 43 new vendor partners, with many of those being manufacturers of consumer electronics and accessories, a product category where we are seeing


triple-digit growth. These new product offerings have also helped to open relationships with 6 new customers during the second quarter. Many of those customers are outside of Navarre’s traditional customer footprint and have expressed great appreciation for the service levels that we provide. We are working with these new retail partners to provide them with new products and to offer solutions in their existing supply chain. I am excited about where we are headed and feel that we have the right people and strategies in place to increase the rate of Navarre’s expansion into new markets.”

Restructuring Initiative

The Company is focusing its efforts to better coordinate with its retail partners in the high-growth opportunities of e-commerce fulfillment and consumer electronics and accessories. The Company’s plans are expected to increase operating efficiencies and generate annualized, pre-tax cost savings of $5.5-$6.5 million when fully implemented in fiscal year 2013, with savings of $2.0 million expected to be achieved in fiscal year 2012. The Company anticipates that these savings will provide additional resources to invest in product lines and services categories that will create profitable growth, and increase flexibility to adjust to evolving distribution and logistics markets.

The Company expects to record a pre-tax restructuring charge and other non-recurring expenses in the range of $8.5-$9.5 million during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2012. Cost savings will be achieved primarily by reducing layers of management and other personnel, outsourcing non-core business activities, and simplifying business structures and processes across the Navarre’s operations.

“I’m encouraged by how well the management team responded to this change in market conditions and how quickly we were able to put this restructuring plan together. This decision follows a thorough analysis of the Company’s operations and its opportunities for growth with our retail partners. The restructuring will allow us to focus on increasing our rate of growth in e-commerce fulfillment and with consumer electronics and accessory products. Those categories provide Navarre with the most direct path to increasing shareholder value,” commented Richard Willis.

Outlook

In light of decreased software sales and the restructuring and non-recurring charges that will be incurred in the Company’s third and fourth fiscal quarters, guidance for fiscal year 2012 has been updated as follows:

 

   

Net sales are anticipated to be between $440 million and $470 million; and

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $7 and $9 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the remainder of the 2012 fiscal year does not include the impact of stock-based compensation expense, CEO transition costs, or restructuring charges and other non-recurring expenses as are summarized in the supplemental information table.


Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call on November 1, 2011, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (10:00 a.m. Central Time). The conference call can be accessed by dialing (800) 901-5226, and utilizing the passcode “24900389”, ten minutes prior to the scheduled start time. In addition, a live broadcast of this call will be available by going to the “Investors” section of the Company’s website located at www.navarre.com. Those wishing to access this live broadcast of the call should go to the Company’s website fifteen minutes prior to the start time to register and download any necessary software. A replay of the conference call will be available at the Company’s website following its completion.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In evaluating our financial performance and operating trends, management considers information concerning our net sales before inter-company eliminations, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense and restructuring charges from continuing operations, which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that facilitates comparisons to prior periods and for the evaluation of financial results. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures. The method the Company uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these preliminary non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable preliminary GAAP results, which is attached to this release and can also be found on the Company’s website at www.navarre.com.
