    Gross margin increased 320 basis points to 30.8% compared to 27.6% in the same period last fiscal year

 

    Net income increased 81.5% to $9.9 million compared to $5.5 million in the same period last fiscal year

“Continued growing demand for our high-performance mountain bike and powered vehicle products enabled us to report third quarter results at the high-end of our expectations,” said Larry Enterline, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our team continued to execute on our long-term strategy to improve our operating efficiencies across our global infrastructure with solid gross and operating margin improvement in the third quarter. We remain optimistic about our future growth prospects given our established, premium brand and strong OEM relationships along with our track record of successful innovation.”

Sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were $82.3 million, an increase of 12.9% from sales of $72.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Sales of mountain bike and powered vehicle products increased 10.8% and 18.2%, respectively, for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year period.

Gross margin was 30.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2013, a 320 basis point increase from gross margin of 27.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Approximately 140 basis points of the improvement in gross margin relates to the Company’s successful execution of initiatives designed to improve operating efficiencies. The remaining 180 basis points is largely due to additional warranty and other related costs incurred in the third quarter of 2012 to upgrade certain dampers contained in the Company’s suspension products which costs did not recur in 2013.

Total operating expenses were $10.6 million, or 12.8% of sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to $9.1 million, or 12.5% of sales in the third quarter of the prior year. Operating income was $14.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013, a 34.6% increase compared to operating income of $11.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.


Net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $9.9 million, an increase of 81.5% compared to $5.5 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $0.27, calculated on 36.4 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared to $0.16, calculated on 33.7 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $12.1 million, an increase of 94.2% compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $6.2 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $0.33, calculated on 36.4 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared to non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.18, calculated on 33.7 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted net income to the GAAP measure net income and the calculation of non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share are provided at the end of this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $17.3 million, a 29.8% increase compared to $13.4 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 improved 270 basis points to 21.0%, compared to 18.3% in the prior year period, reflecting the Company’s ability to leverage its operating platform and the aforementioned damper warranty issue. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net income and the calculation of adjusted EBITDA margin are provided at the end of this press release.

Earnings per diluted share for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was $0.55, calculated on 35.1 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared to $0.39, calculated on 31.9 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding in same period of fiscal 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), FOX is including in this press release “Non-GAAP Adjusted net income”, “Non-GAAP Adjusted earnings per diluted share”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, and “Adjusted EBITDA margin”, which are non-GAAP financial measures. FOX defines Non-GAAP Adjusted net income as net income adjusted for amortization of purchased intangibles, net of tax, and the management fee which was previously payable to an affiliate of its majority stockholder, net of tax, and the write-off of unamortized loan origination fees in connection with the August 2013 termination of the Company’s prior credit facility, net of tax, and Non-GAAP Adjusted earnings per diluted share as Non-GAAP Adjusted net income divided by the number of diluted shares of common stock outstanding. FOX defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for interest expense, other income (expense), net, provision for income taxes, amortization of purchased intangibles, depreciation, stock-based compensation and the management fee which was previously payable to an affiliate of its majority stockholder and Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by sales. FOX includes these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they allow investors to understand and evaluate the Company’s core operating performance and trends. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted net income (and accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Non-GAAP Adjusted earnings per diluted share) can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s core business. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, including the fact that such non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies and other companies may calculate Non-GAAP Adjusted net income, Non-GAAP Adjusted earnings per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin differently than FOX does. For more information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables included at the end of this press release.
