FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements concerning our business, operations and financial performance and condition as well as our plans, objectives and expectations for our business operations and financial performance and condition that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “could,” “due,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “positioned,” “predict,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and other similar expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and future trends.  These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about our business and the industry in which we operate and our management’s beliefs and assumptions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance or development and involve known risks, uncertainties and other factors that are in some cases beyond our control.  All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including:

 

·                  our ability to identify and respond to new and changing fashion trends, customer preferences and other related factors;

 

·                  failure to execute successfully our growth strategy;

 

·                  changes in consumer spending and general economic conditions;

 

·                  changes in the competitive environment in our industry and the markets we serve, including increased competition from other retailers;

 

·                  failure of our new stores or existing stores to achieve sales and operating levels consistent with our expectations;

 

·                  our dependence on a strong brand image;

 

·                  failure of our information technology systems to support our business;

 

·                  our dependence upon key executive management or our inability to hire or retain additional personnel;

 

·                  disruptions in our supply chain and distribution facility;

 

·                  our reliance upon independent third-party transportation providers for all of our product shipments;

 

·                  hurricanes, natural disasters, unusually adverse weather conditions, boycotts and unanticipated events;

 

·                  the seasonality of our business;

 

·                  increases in costs of fuel, or other energy, transportation or utilities costs as well as in the costs of raw materials, labor and employment;

 

·                  the impact of governmental laws and regulations and the outcomes of legal proceedings;

 

·                  restrictions imposed by our lease obligations on our current and future operations; and

 

·                  our inability to protect our trademarks or other intellectual property rights.

 

Body Central Corp. (herein “we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company”) derives many of its forward-looking statements from its operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual

results. For the discussion of these risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking statements, please refer to “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

1.                            Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business and Organization

 

Body Central Corp. (the ‘‘Company’’) is a specialty retailer of young women’s apparel and accessories operating retail stores in the South, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States. The Company operates specialty apparel stores under the Body Central and Body Shop banners as well as a direct business comprised of our Body Central catalog and our e-commerce website at www.bodyc.com.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC.

 

Fiscal Year

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. As used herein, the interim periods presented are the thirteen week periods ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to inventory valuation, property and equipment, recoverability of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, income taxes and stock-based compensation.

 

Segment Reporting

 

GAAP has established guidance for reporting information about a company’s operating segments, including disclosures related to a company’s products and services, geographic

Table of Contents

 

areas and major customers. The Company has aggregated its net revenues generated from its retail stores and its direct business into one reportable segment. The Company aggregates its operating segments because they have a similar class of customer, nature of products, nature of production process and distribution methods as well as similar economic characteristics. The Company has no international sales. All of the Company’s identifiable assets are in the United States.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue, and the related cost of goods sold is expensed, at point-of-sale or upon shipment to customers. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers for online and catalog sales are included in net revenues, and the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. Based on historical sales returns, an allowance for sales returns is recorded as a reduction of net revenues in the periods in which the sales are recognized. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from net revenues and is included as part of accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Beginning in March 2011, we began selling gift cards in our stores, which do not expire or lose value over periods of inactivity. We account for gift cards by recognizing a liability at the time a gift card is sold. We recognize income from gift cards and gift certificates when they are redeemed by the customer.

 

Revenue from unredeemed gift certificates is recognized when it is determined that the likelihood of the gift certificate being redeemed is remote and that there is no legal obligation to remit unredeemed gift certificates to relevant jurisdictions. No revenue from gift certificate breakage was recognized in the thirteen week periods ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are comprised principally of women’s apparel and accessories and are stated at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in-first-out basis, using the retail inventory method. Included in the carrying value of merchandise inventory, and reflected in cost of goods sold, is a reserve for shrinkage which is accrued between physical inventory dates as a percentage of sales based on historical inventory results.

 

The Company reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and generally uses markdowns to clear this merchandise. The Company records a markdown reserve based on estimated future markdowns related to current inventory to clear slow-moving inventory. These markdowns may have an adverse impact on earnings, depending on the extent and amount of inventory affected. The markdown reserve is recorded as an increase to cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The amended guidance requires most entities to change wording that describes the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The objective of this amendment is to develop a single, converged fair value framework between the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS). The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 220, Comprehensive Income. The amended guidance requires most entities to present changes in net income and other comprehensive income in either a single statement of comprehensive income or two separate, but consecutive, statements. The objective of these amendments is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210). The amended guidance requires entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The objective of this amendment is to facilitate comparability between entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of GAAP and those that prepare it on the basis of IFRS. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Table of Contents

 

2.                            Financial Instruments

 

The FASB-issued guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the inputs market participants use to determine fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The guidance under this statement describes a hierarchy of three levels of input that may be used to measure fair value:

 

·                       Level 1 — Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

·                       Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

·                       Level 3 — Unobservable inputs based on little market or no market activity and which are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

 

The Company’s material financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are equal to their carrying values based on their liquidity.

 

Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. The fair value estimate presented herein is not necessarily indicative of the amount that the Company or the debt holders could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

 

The Company has determined the estimated fair value amounts of its financial instruments using available market information. The assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:

3.                            Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for discrete events occurring in a particular period. The effective income tax rate was 38.0% and 39.0% for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the thirteen-week period ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to discrete items.

 

The Company recognizes income tax liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, guidance related to uncertain tax positions, and adjusts these liabilities when its judgment changes as the result of the evaluation of new information. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the unrecognized tax benefits recorded at the balance sheet date within the next twelve months.

 

4.                            Related Parties

 

The Company leases office and warehouse space under a lease agreement dated October 1, 2006 with a company that is owned by certain members of management who are also stockholders of the Company. The lease expires on October 1, 2016. The Company incurred rent expense of $119,000 and $117,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011, respectively, related to this lease.

 

5.                            Leases

 

The Company’s retail stores and corporate offices are in leased facilities. Lease terms for retail stores generally range up to ten years and provide for escalations in base rents. The Company does not have obligations to renew the leases. Certain leases provide for contingent rentals based upon sales. Most leases also require additional payments covering real estate taxes, common area costs and insurance.

 

Future minimum rental commitments, by year and in the aggregate, under non-cancelable operating leases as of March 31, 2012, are as follows:

On January 20, 2012, we entered into a Line of Credit Agreement with Branch Banking and Trust Company that provides for a revolving line of credit facility in the amount of $5.0 million with an accordion feature that allows Branch Banking and Trust Company to increase the facility up to $20 million at its sole discretion.  The facility has maturity date of May 5, 2013 and bears interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.35% per annum, as adjusted monthly on the first

day of each month, with an all-in floor rate of 2.0%. The facility is secured by all the assets of the Company. The Line of Credit Agreement includes a financial covenant requiring the Company to have a Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Line of Credit Agreement) of $30.0 million quarterly, and other customary covenants.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and had no outstanding borrowings under this line of credit facility.

 

7.                            Stockholders’ Equity

 

Common Stock

 

On February 16, 2011, the Company completed a secondary offering of 5,703,764 shares of common stock priced at $16.50 per share.  The Company sold 100,000 new shares of its common stock in the offering, and selling shareholders sold 5,603,764 shares of common stock in the offering which included all of the 743,969 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option.  The offering raised net proceeds of $1.1 million for the Company, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses paid by the Company.  The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders.

 

On May 25, 2011, the Company amended and restated the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reduce its total number of authorized shares of common stock to 45 million shares, par value $0.001 per share.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Plan

 

On May 25, 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment and restatement to the Plan.  The amended and restated Plan permits up to 250,000 of the remaining 1,051,509 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance as of March 31, 2012 under the Plan to be issued in the form of restricted stock awards and will allow certain awards under the Plan to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, if the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors chooses to qualify the awards in other respects.

 

Stock-based compensation expense of $392,000 and $240,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011, respectively, is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and cost of goods sold on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The Company did not capitalize any expense related to stock-based compensation.

 

Option Awards

 

The fair value of each option grant for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

(1)         Since there was not sufficient historical information for grants with similar terms, the simplified or “plain-vanilla” method of estimating option life was utilized.

 

(2)         The stock volatility for each grant is measured using the weighted average of historical weekly price changes of certain peer companies’ common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option life of the grant.

 

(3)         The risk-free interest rate for periods equal to the expected term of the share option is based on the rate of U.S. Treasury securities with the same term as the option as of the grant date.

8.                            Earnings Per Share

 

Net income per common share-basic is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Net income per common share-dilutive includes the determinants of basic income per common share plus the additional dilution for all potentially dilutive stock options and convertible preferred stock utilizing the treasury stock method and if-converted method, respectively.

 

The following table shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effect on net income and the weighted average number of shares potentially dilutive to common stock:

ITEM 2.                                                MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity, and cash flows of our Company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC, and our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included herein. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Overview

 

Founded in 1972, Body Central Corp. is a multi-channel specialty retailer offering on-trend, quality apparel and accessories at value prices. We operate specialty apparel stores under the Body Central and Body Shop banners, as well as a direct business comprised of our Body Central catalog and our e-commerce website at www.bodyc.com. We target women in their late teens and twenties from diverse cultural backgrounds, who seek the latest fashions and a flattering fit. Our stores feature an assortment of tops, dresses, bottoms, jewelry, accessories and shoes sold primarily under our exclusive Body Central® and Lipstick® labels. We continually update our merchandise and floor sets with an emphasis on coordinated outfits presented by lifestyle to give our customers a reason to shop

 

16



Table of Contents

 

our stores frequently. We believe our multi-channel strategy supports our brand building efforts and provides us with synergistic growth opportunities across all of our sales channels.

 

As of March 31, 2012, we had 243 stores with an average size of approximately 4,300 square feet. Our stores are located in fashion retail venues in the South, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest.  In the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012, we opened four stores and closed two.

 

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

 

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of operational and financial measures. The key measures for determining how our business is performing are net revenues, comparable store and non-comparable store sales, direct sales through our catalog and e-commerce channels, gross profit margin, store contribution, selling, general and administrative expenses, earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization, and net income.

 

Net Revenues

 

Net revenues consist of sales of our merchandise from comparable stores and non-comparable stores and direct sales through our catalog and e-commerce channels, including shipping and handling fees charged to our customers.  Net revenues from our stores and direct business reflect sales of our merchandise less estimated returns and merchandise discounts.

 

Store Sales

 

There may be variation in the way in which other retailers calculate “comparable” or “same store” sales.  We include a store in comparable store sales on the first day of the fourteenth month after a store opens. Non-comparable store sales include sales not included in comparable store sales (for example, the first two months of a new store’s sales) and sales from closed stores. Measuring the change in year-over-year comparable store sales allows us to evaluate how our store base is performing. Various factors affect comparable store sales, including:

 

·     consumer preferences, buying trends and overall economic trends;

 

·     our ability to identify and respond effectively to fashion trends and customer preferences;

 

·     changes in competition;

 

·     changes in our merchandise mix;

 

·     changes in pricing levels and average unit price;

 

·     the timing of our releases of new merchandise;

 

·     the level of customer service that we provide in our stores;

 

·     our ability to source and distribute products efficiently; and

 

·     the number of stores we open and close in any period.

 

Opening new stores is an important part of our growth strategy. We expect a significant percentage of our net revenues to come from non-comparable store sales. Accordingly, comparable store sales is only one element we use to assess the success of our growth strategy. Purchases of apparel and accessories are sensitive to a number of factors that influence the levels of consumer spending,

 

17



Table of Contents

 

including economic conditions and the level of disposable consumer income, consumer debt, interest rates and consumer confidence. Our business is seasonal and as a result, our revenues fluctuate. In addition, our revenues in any given quarter can be affected by timing of holidays, the weather and other factors beyond our control.

 

Direct Sales

 

We offer direct sales through our catalogs and through our e-commerce website, www.bodyc.com, which accepts orders directly from our customers. We believe the circulation of our catalogs and access to our website increases our reputation and brand recognition with our target customers and helps support the strength of our store operations.  Direct sales are not included in our comparable store sales.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit is equal to our net revenues minus our cost of goods sold. Gross profit margin measures gross profit as a percentage of our net revenues. Cost of goods sold includes the direct cost of purchased merchandise, distribution costs, all freight costs incurred to ship merchandise to our stores and our direct customers, costs incurred to produce and distribute our catalogs, store occupancy costs, buying costs and inventory shrinkage. The components of our cost of goods sold may not be comparable to those of other retailers.

 

Our cost of goods sold is greater in higher volume periods because cost of goods sold generally increases as net revenues increase. Changes in the mix of our products, such as changes in the proportion of accessories, may also impact our cost of goods sold. We review our inventory levels on an ongoing basis in order to identify slow-moving merchandise and take appropriate markdowns to clear these goods. The timing and level of markdowns are not seasonal in nature, but are driven by customer acceptance of our merchandise. If we misjudge sales levels and/or trends, we may be faced with excess inventories and be required to mark down our prices for those products in order to sell them.  The Company records a markdown reserve based on estimated future markdowns related to current inventory to clear slow-moving inventory.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses include all operating costs not included in cost of goods sold. These expenses include payroll and other expenses related to operations at our corporate headquarters and store operations. These expenses generally do not vary proportionally with net revenues. As a result, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues are usually higher in lower volume periods and usually lower in higher volume periods. The components of our selling, general and administrative expenses may not be comparable to those of other retailers. We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods due to our continuing store growth and continuing growth in our direct business.

The following tables summarize key components of our results of operations for the periods indicated as a percentage of net revenues as well as selected non-financial operating data:

We have determined our operating segments on the same basis that we use internally to evaluate performance. Our operating segments are our stores and our direct business, which have been aggregated into one reportable segment. We aggregate our operating segments because they have a similar class of customer, nature of products, nature of production process and distribution methods, as well as similar economic characteristics.

Net Revenues

 

Net revenues increased by $8.7 million, or 11.8%, for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011.

 

Store sales increased $7.6 million, or 12.0%, for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011. The increase in store sales resulted from the 29 net store additions since April 2, 2011, partially offset by a slight decrease in comparable store sales. Comparable store sales decreased $857,000, or 1.4%, for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012, compared to an increase of 16.1% for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011. Non-comparable store sales increased $8.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012, compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011. There were 206 comparable stores and 37 non-comparable stores open during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012.

 

Direct sales, including shipping and handling fees, from our direct business increased $1.1 million, or 10.1%, for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011.  This increase was due to higher average revenue per catalog.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased $2.5 million, or 9.5%, for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011. As a percentage of net revenues, gross profit margin decreased by 70 basis points for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011.  This decrease was attributable to a 60 basis point decrease in merchandise margin from markdowns taken to clear slow-moving inventory and a 10 basis point increase in freight costs, store occupancy, distribution and buying costs as a percentage of net revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.5 million, or 9.3%, for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011. This increase resulted in part from a $1.2 million increase in store operating expenses due primarily to the 29 net store additions since April 2, 2011. As a percentage of net revenues, store operating expenses decreased to 15.6% for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 15.8% for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011, primarily due to the leveraging of store payroll as a percentage of net revenues.

 

General and administrative expenses increased $372,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011 due primarily to compensation related expenses for corporate positions.  As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 6.5% for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 from 6.8% for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011.  The decrease as a percent of net revenues was primarily due to reduction in information technology expenses offset by an increase in compensation related expenses.

 

As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 22.1% for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 and 22.6% for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011 due to reasons discussed above.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $274,000, or 22.8%, for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011.  This increase was primarily due to capital expenditures from new store construction and upgrades to our information technology systems.  As a percentage of net revenues, depreciation and amortization expense increased 20 basis points for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011.

 

Interest Income, Net of Interest Expense

 

Interest income, net of interest expense, was $8,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012  and $5,000 for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Provision for income taxes increased $183,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011, which was attributable to a $707,000 increase in income before income taxes, which was partially offset by a reduction in the effective tax rate of 100 basis points to 38.0% in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 from 39.0% in the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the thirteen-week period ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to discrete items.

 

Net Income

 

Net income increased $524,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011 due to the factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary source of liquidity is currently cash flows from operations. Our primary cash need is for capital expenditures in connection with opening new stores, remodeling or relocating existing stores, distributing our catalogs, operating our website and the additional working capital required for running our operations. Cash is also required for investment in our information technology systems, maintenance of existing facilities and distribution facility enhancements, when required. The most significant components of our working capital are cash and cash equivalents, merchandise inventories, trade payables and other current liabilities. Our working capital position benefits from the fact that we generally collect cash from sales to customers the same day or, in the case of credit or debit card transactions, within several days of the related sale, and we typically have up to 30 days to pay our merchandise vendors, depending on the applicable vendor terms.

 

We also have availability under a line of credit facility.  On January 20, 2012, we entered into a Line of Credit Agreement with Branch Banking and Trust Company that provides for a revolving line of credit facility in the amount of $5.0 million with an accordion feature that allows Branch Banking and Trust Company to increase the facility up to $20 million. The facility has a maturity date of May 5, 2013 and bears interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.35% per annum, as adjusted monthly on the first day of each month, with an all-in floor rate of 2.0%. The facility is secured by all the assets of the company. The Line of Credit Agreement includes a financial covenant requiring the Company to have a Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Line of Credit Agreement) of $30.0 million quarterly, and other customary covenants.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and had no outstanding borrowings under this line of credit facility.

 

Our ability to fund our cash flow needs depends largely on our future operating performance. We assess future operating performance by looking at a number of metrics, primarily our net revenues, comparable store and non-comparable store sales, direct sales through our catalog and e-commerce channels, gross profit margin, and selling, general and administrative expenses. Our liquidity position is directly affected by these performance metrics.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased $500,000 to $24.6 million as of March 31, 2012, from $25.1 million as of April 2, 2011. Components of this change in cash for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012, as well as the change for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011, are shown in the following table:

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $4.2 million to $4.3 million during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $8.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011. This reduction was primarily attributable to a $2.9 million unfavorable change in other working capital components, and a $2.2 million unfavorable change in our requirements for inventory, net of merchandise accounts payable, partially offset by a $524,000 favorable change in net income and a $274,000 favorable change in depreciation and amortization.

 

Investing Activities

 

Investing activities consist primarily of capital expenditures for new and existing stores, as well as our investment in information technology:

For the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2012, net cash used in investing activities increased $20.8 million as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2011.  This increase was primarily attributable to $19.9 million of purchases of short-term investments and an $891,000 increase in new store construction and capital expenditures related to upgrading our software systems that support our store operations and direct business.

 

Financing Activities

 

Financing activities consist primarily of proceeds from a common stock offering, exercise of employee stock options and tax benefits from stock-based award activities:

On February 16, 2011, we completed a secondary offering of 5,703,764 shares of our common stock priced at $16.50 per share.  We sold 100,000 new shares of common stock in the offering, and the selling shareholders sold 5,603,764 shares in the offering, including 743,969 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option.  The offering raised net proceeds of $1.1 million for the Company, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses paid by the Company.  The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the over-allotment shares by the selling stockholders.

 

Outlook

 

Our short-term and long-term liquidity needs arise primarily from capital expenditures associated with our growth strategy and working capital requirements. We believe that our cash position and net cash provided by operating activities, short-term investments and availability under the Line of Credit Facility will be adequate to finance our working capital needs and planned capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.  Planned capital expenditures for fiscal year 2012 include expenditures for at least 35 new stores, relocation of and maintenance of existing stores, maintenance of corporate facilities, and investments in information technology systems, which includes investing in and upgrading several of our systems to provide improved support of our current operations and position us for future growth.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Management has determined that our most critical accounting policies are those related to revenue recognition, inventory valuation, property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, income taxes and stock-based compensation. We continue to monitor our accounting policies to ensure proper application of current rules and regulations. There have been no significant changes to these policies discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
