Cliff Sifford, President and CEO, stated, “In the second quarter, our selection of women’s seasonal and children’s footwear drove our comparable store sales increase. We are pleased our sales increase, when combined with our team’s focus on managing the controllable aspects of our business, enabled us to achieve earnings towards the high-end of our guidance.”
Second Quarter Financial Results
The Company reported net sales of $216.4 million for the second quarter ended August 3, 2013, an 18.8 percent increase, as compared to net sales of $182.2 million for the second quarter ended July 28, 2012. Comparable store sales for the thirteen-week period ended August 3, 2013 increased 2.6 percent as compared to the thirteen-week period ended August 4, 2012.
As a result of fiscal 2012 consisting of 53 weeks, each of the first three quarters in fiscal 2013 are shifted one week later when compared to fiscal 2012. This one-week shift moved an important week of back-to-school sales from the third quarter of fiscal 2012 into the second quarter this year. The shift accounted for approximately $15.7 million of the Company’s net sales increase for the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
The gross profit margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 increased to 28.9 percent compared to 28.7 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The merchandise margin decreased 0.7 percent, while buying, distribution and occupancy costs decreased 0.9 percent as a percentage of sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter increased $5.3 million to $53.0 million; as a percentage of sales, these expenses decreased to 24.5 percent compared to 26.1 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
Net earnings for the second quarter were $5.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, as compared to net earnings of $2.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the second quarter last year.
Six Month Financial Results
Net sales during the first six months of fiscal 2013 increased $43.9 million to $448.7 million as compared to the same period last year. Comparable store sales for the twenty-six week period ended August 3, 2013 increased 0.7 percent as compared to the twenty-six week period ended August 4, 2012. Net earnings for the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $15.4 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $13.9 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, in the first six months of last year. The gross profit margin for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was 29.2 percent compared to 29.9 percent last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 23.7 percent for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to 24.3 percent last year. The Company opened 21 stores during the first six months of fiscal 2013 as compared to opening 24 stores during the first six months of last year.
Mr. Sifford concluded, “The overall consumer discretionary spending environment remains challenging and we believe it is prudent to have a conservative outlook on our business for the third quarter. With the back-to-school selling period winding down, we expect a comparable store sales increase of approximately 1.0 percent for the fiscal month of August. This is on top of a high single-digit comparable store sales increase during the fiscal month of August last year. We remain confident that our broad selection and value proposition will continue to make Shoe Carnival a destination store for family footwear as our customers transition to fall and winter product.”
Third Quarter Fiscal 2013 Earnings Outlook
The Company expects third quarter net sales to be in the range of $236 to $240 million with a comparable store sales increase in the range of 1.0 to 2.5 percent. Earnings per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 are expected to be in the range of $0.51 to $0.55. In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, total net sales were $244 million, comparable store sales increased 6.2 percent and the Company earned $0.60 per diluted share. The lower sales and diluted earnings per share projected for the third quarter this year are a result of the calendar shift, which moved an important week of back-to-school from the third quarter of fiscal 2012 into the second quarter this year.
Store Growth
The Company expects to open 32 new stores and close five stores in fiscal 2013. Store openings and closings by quarter are as follows:
