Net Loss Reduced By 74%
Albany, NY, August 16, 2012 -- Trans World Entertainment Corporation (Nasdaq: TWMC) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended July 28, 2012. For the second quarter of 2012, the Company reported a $5.4 million decrease in its net loss to $1.9 million, or a loss of $0.06 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7.3 million, or a loss of $0.23 per diluted share, for the same period last year.
Comparable store sales for the quarter were down 1% compared to the same quarter last year. Total sales for the quarter decreased 16% to $91.0 million compared to $108.0 million in 2011. During the quarter, the Company operated an average of 379 stores compared to 442 stores last year, a 14% decline.
“The second quarter marked our tenth consecutive quarter of improved operating results.” said Robert J. Higgins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Trans World Entertainment. “Our strategy for the balance of 2012 is to focus on continuing to challenge every aspect of our business to improve and delivering better value and an exceptional shopping experience to our customers. In addition, we will continue to invest in our growth categories and to aggressively seize opportunities to drive sales and operating profits. We’re moving in the right direction and look forward to the remainder of 2012 and beyond.”
Gross profit for the quarter was $35.8 million, or 39.3% of sales, as compared to $40.0 million, or 37.0%, of sales for the same period last year. The 230 basis point increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was due to higher margin rates across the majority of our product categories.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 19% for the quarter to $36.3 million compared to $44.8 million for the comparable period last year. The reduction in SG&A expenses was due to the closing of underperforming stores and continued effective expense management. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses improved 170 basis points to 39.8% in the quarter compared to 41.5% for the same period last year.
For the twenty six weeks ended July 28, 2012, the Company reported a $10.7 million increase in net income to $0.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.8 million, or a loss of $0.31 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

Comparable store sales for the twenty six weeks ended July 28, 2012 were flat.
Gross profit for the twenty six weeks ended July 28, 2012 was $77.6 million, or 38.2% of sales, compared to $88.3 million, or 36.9%, of sales for the same period last year. For the twenty six weeks ended July 28, 2012, Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 21% to $73.5 million compared to $93.1 million in the comparable period last year.
