FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

RITE AID REPORTS NET INCOME OF $32.8 MILLION

AND ADJUSTED EBITDA OF $341.6 MILLION FOR SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2014

 

·            Second Quarter Net Income of $0.03 per Diluted Share, Compared to Prior Second Quarter Net Loss of $0.05 per Diluted Share

 

·            Second Quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $341.6 Million Compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $218.7 Million in Prior Second Quarter

 

·            Rite Aid Raises Fiscal 2014 Outlook

 

CAMP HILL, Pa. (Sept. 19, 2013) - Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE: RAD) today reported operating results for its fiscal second quarter ended Aug. 31, 2013. The company reported revenues of $6.3 billion, net income of $32.8 million or $0.03 per diluted share, and Adjusted EBITDA of $341.6 million, or 5.4 percent of revenues.

 

“We posted excellent results in the second quarter, highlighted by another quarter of net income and an all-time company record for second-quarter Adjusted EBITDA,” said Rite Aid Chairman and CEO John Standley. “As we continue to improve our operational and financial performance, we are also making tremendous progress in transforming our more than 4,600 stores into true neighborhood destinations for health and wellness, as indicated by our successful launch of the wellness 65+ loyalty program for seniors, a strong start to our flu immunization campaign and the completion of our 1,000th wellness store remodel.”

 

Second Quarter Summary

 

Revenues for the 13-week quarter were $6.3 billion versus revenues of $6.2 billion in the prior year second quarter. Revenues increased 0.8 percent primarily as a result of an increase in same store sales, which were partially offset by store closings.

 

Same store sales for the quarter increased 1.0 percent over the prior year 13-week period, consisting of a 1.7 percent increase in pharmacy sales, partially offset by a 0.3 percent decrease in front end sales. Pharmacy sales included an approximate 249 basis point negative impact from new generic introductions. The number of prescriptions filled in same stores was flat over the prior year period. Prescription sales accounted for 67.9 percent of total drugstore sales, and third party prescription revenue was 97.0 percent of pharmacy sales.

Net income was $32.8 million or $0.03 per diluted share compared to last year’s second quarter net loss of $38.8 million or $0.05 per diluted share. Included in net income was a $62.2 million or $0.07 per diluted share charge from a loss on debt retirement on the previously announced refinancings that were completed during the quarter, partially offset by a recovery of $23.5 million or $0.02 per diluted share related to the settlement of a prescription drug antitrust case. The improvement in net income resulted primarily from an increase in Adjusted EBITDA and a decrease in interest expense, partially offset by the loss on debt retirement.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (which is reconciled to net income/loss on the attached table) was $341.6 million or 5.4 percent of revenues for the second quarter compared to $218.7 million or 3.5 percent of revenues for the like period last year. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was largely driven by the continued benefit of new generic introductions on pharmacy gross margin as well as improved front-end gross margin, strong expense control and the settlement of the prescription drug antitrust case referenced above.

 

In the second quarter, the company relocated five stores and remodeled 109 stores, bringing the total number of wellness stores chain wide to 1,019. The company closed twelve stores and acquired one store, resulting in a total store count of 4,604 at the end of the second quarter.

 

Rite Aid Raises Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance

 

Rite Aid has raised its fiscal 2014 guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, net income and net income per share. Revised guidance for the fiscal year reflects the stronger-than-anticipated performance in the first half of the year and an expected stronger second half of the year versus the company’s previous guidance, although the company still expects lower second-half performance as compared to the prior year. The company expects its second-half performance will be negatively impacted by continued reimbursement rate pressure, pharmaceutical cost increases and a significantly lower benefit from new generics as the vast majority of the new generic wave is included in the company’s run rate.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (which is reconciled to net income/loss on the attached table) guidance is now expected to be between $1.240 billion and $1.300 billion and net income is now expected to be between $182.0 million or $0.18 per diluted share and $268.0 million or $0.27 per diluted share. Sales are expected to be between $25.1 billion and $25.3 billion and same store sales to range from a decrease of 0.50 percent to an increase of 0.50 percent compared to fiscal 2013. Capital expenditures are expected to be $400 million.
