RITE AID REPORTS NET INCOME AND RECORD ADJUSTED EBITDA

IN THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2013

 

·           Third Quarter Net Income of $0.07 per Diluted Share, Compared to Prior Third Quarter Net Loss of $0.06 per Diluted Share

 

·           Third Quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $295.3 Million Compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $221.5 Million in Prior Third Quarter

 

·           Third Quarter Results Benefited from Continued Front End Sales and Prescription Count Growth

 

·           Eighth Consecutive Quarter of Adjusted EBITDA Increases

 

·           Rite Aid Raises Earnings Guidance

 

Camp Hill, Pa. (Dec. 20, 2012) - Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE: RAD) today reported improved financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended Dec. 1, 2012. The company reported revenues of $6.2 billion, net income of $61.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, and Adjusted EBITDA of $295.3 million, or 4.7 percent of revenues.

 

“We have reached a significant milestone in our turnaround efforts by returning to profitability,” said Rite Aid Chairman, President and CEO John Standley. “We have now increased Adjusted EBITDA and same store prescription counts for eight consecutive quarters. Our third quarter performance is the result of our entire team’s continued efforts to fundamentally improve our business.”

 

“Our record Adjusted EBITDA was driven by strong prescription count growth, an increase in front-end same store sales and higher pharmacy gross margin resulting from the introduction of new generic medications. While we are pleased with our third quarter results, we remain focused on sustaining our positive momentum and achieving long-term success,” Standley added.

Third Quarter Summary

 

Revenues for the 13-week quarter were $6.2 billion versus revenues of $6.3 billion in the prior year third quarter. Revenues decreased 1.2 percent primarily due to the impact of the introduction of lower cost generics on pharmacy same store sales as well as store closings.

 

Same store sales for the quarter decreased 1.5 percent over the prior year 13-week period, consisting of a 1.1 percent increase in front end sales offset by a 2.7 percent decrease in pharmacy sales. Pharmacy sales included an approximate 924 basis point negative impact from new generic introductions. The number of prescriptions filled in same stores increased 3.6 percent over the prior year period, which includes the benefit of additional prescriptions resulting from the Walgreens/Express Scripts dispute. Prescription sales accounted for 67.8 percent of total drugstore sales, and third party prescription revenue was 96.5 percent of pharmacy sales.

 

Net income was $61.9 million or $0.07 per diluted share compared to last year’s third quarter net loss of $52.0 million or $0.06 per diluted share. The improvement in net income resulted primarily from an increase in Adjusted EBITDA as well as a lower LIFO charge.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (which is reconciled to net income on the attached table) was $295.3 million or 4.7 percent of revenues for the third quarter compared to $221.5 million or 3.5 percent of revenues for the like period last year. Adjusted EBITDA improved due to increases in front end sales and script count as well as an improvement in pharmacy gross margin resulting from new generic introductions. Also included in Adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter was an $18.1 million benefit related to the settlement of interchange fee litigation which was not included in the company’s guidance.

 

In the third quarter, the company relocated three stores, remodeled 114 stores and closed ten stores. Completed wellness stores at the end of the third quarter totaled 687. Stores in operation at the end of the third quarter totaled 4,633.

 

Rite Aid Raises Earnings Guidance

 

Rite Aid has updated its fiscal 2013 guidance with sales expected to be between $25.150 billion and $25.300 billion and same store sales to range from a decrease of 0.90 percent to a decrease of 0.30 percent compared to fiscal 2012. Rite Aid has raised its Adjusted EBITDA (which is reconciled to net loss/income on the attached table) guidance to be between $1.050 billion and $1.075 billion and its net loss/income guidance to be between a net loss of $38 million or $0.05 per diluted share and net income of $33 million or $0.03 per diluted share. Capital expenditure guidance has been raised to $360 million.
