Green Mountain Coffee reports 64 percent sales growth in Q3

Submitted by tim on Wed, 07/28/2010 - 07:28

Attributing a 64 percent net sales growth by the success of the Keurig Single-Cup Brewing System, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc of Waterbury has reported strong sales and earnings growth. Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 increased to $311.5 million as compared to $190.5 million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. According to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 totaled $18.6 million, or $0.13 per fully diluted share; non-GAAP EPS of $0.19.
Excluding transaction-related expenses incurred in the quarter, and the resulting tax effect of reversing the tax benefit associated with previously incurred acquisition-related expenses, the Company’s non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $25.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, representing an increase of 82% from $14.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.1
The Company completed its acquisition of Diedrich Coffee Inc. (’Diedrich’) on May 11, 2010 for $35 per share of common stock in a transaction with a total value of approximately $300 million. The recent Financial Accounting Standards Board (’FASB’) pronouncement on business combinations, effective in fiscal 2010 for the Company, requires acquisition-related costs be expensed rather than capitalized. The Company’s fiscal third quarter GAAP net income is inclusive of approximately $4.0 million of non-deductible expenses associated with the Diedrich acquisition incurred during the fiscal third quarter. In accordance with the FASB pronouncement, because the Diedrich acquisition closed during the fiscal third quarter, this quarter’s GAAP net income also reflects the tax effect of reversing the tax benefit of $3.2 million associated with the $8.1 million of acquisition-related costs for the Diedrich acquisition recorded during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2010.
During fiscal 2010’s third quarter, 683 million K-Cup® portion packs were shipped system-wide by all Keurig licensed roasters, representing an increase of 72% over the year-ago quarter. Supporting continued growth in K-Cup demand, there were 846,000 system brewers with Keurig®-branded brewing technology shipped during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 444,000 shipped during the third quarter of fiscal 2009.
The Company completed a three-for-one stock split during the third quarter, effected in the form of a stock dividend. Shareholders of record at the close of business on May 10, 2010 received two additional shares of common stock for every one share of common stock held on that date.
Lawrence J. Blanford, GMCR’s President and CEO, said, ‘In our fiscal third quarter, through the strong efforts of all our employees, we delivered excellent results on our key financial performance metrics including revenue, gross margin, operating margin and net income. We have now achieved 11 consecutive quarters of better than 40 percent net sales growth. For the first nine months of fiscal 2010 we have produced net sales growth of 70% and non-GAAP earnings per share growth of 89% over the same period for fiscal year 2009.’
‘Continued execution of our strategic business initiatives, including most recently, our acquisition of Diedrich, is driving GMCR’s growth and enabling us to advance adoption and awareness of our growing portfolio of compelling brands,’ said Blanford. ‘We believe the inherent strength of our business model, combined with our passionate employees, the strong support of our business partners and our fervent belief that we can transform the way the world views business are key drivers behind our growth and success.
Blanford concluded, ‘The coming holiday buying season is shaping up to be another exciting opportunity for us to help more consumers discover and enjoy outstanding beverages with the convenience and choice of the Keurig Single-Cup brewing system. We are looking for a strong kickoff to our fiscal year 2011 and are providing our initial fiscal year 2011 estimate for sales growth in a range of between 44% to 50% and earnings per share of $1.15 to $1.20.’

Fiscal 2010 Third Quarter Financial Review
Key Business Drivers & Metrics

The two primary drivers of the $121.0 million, or 64%, increase in the Company’s net sales were increases in total K-Cup portion pack net sales and Keurig brewer and accessory sales.

Approximately 86% of consolidated net sales in the third quarter was from the Keurig brewing system and its recurring K-Cup portion pack revenue.
Net sales from K-Cup portion packs totaled $197 million in the quarter, up 90%, or $93.1 million, over 2009.
Net sales from Keurig brewers and accessories totaled $64 million in the quarter, up 69%, or 26.2 million, from the prior year period.

For the Keurig business unit, net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, after the elimination of inter-company sales, were $157.2 million, up 74% from net sales of $90.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.
For the Specialty Coffee business unit (SCBU), net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, after the elimination of inter-company sales, were $154.3 million, up 54% from net sales of $100.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

Costs, Margins and Income

Third quarter 2010 gross profit increased to 35.2% of total net sales compared to 33.6% for the corresponding quarter in 2009. This was as a result of higher manufacturing gross margin derived from the increase in volume of the Company’s manufactured K-Cups as a percentage of total system volume.
During the third quarter, the Company experienced continued higher levels of warranty expense and sales returns related to a quality issue associated with certain brewer models produced primarily in late calendar 2009. As previously disclosed, the Company implemented hardware and software changes which it believes has corrected the issue. The Company reached agreement with its suppliers and will recover approximately $6 million as reimbursement related to this issue. This recovery was reflected in the third quarter cost of sales as a reduction to warranty expense and substantially offsets the higher warranty expense and sales returns costs incurred in the fiscal third quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the third quarter were 23.0% as compared to 21.7% in the prior year. Third quarter 2010 general and administrative expenses include $4.0 million related to the Diedrich acquisition as well as the amortization of identifiable intangibles of $4.3 million due to the Company’s prior acquisitions as compared to $1.5 million in the prior year third quarter.
The Company increased its GAAP operating income by 68%, to $38.2 million, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, as compared to $22.8 million in the year ago quarter, and improved its GAAP operating margin to 12.3% from 12.0% in the prior year period. Excluding the impact of the $4.0 million transaction-related expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company’s non-GAAP operating income was up 85% to $42.2 million and represented 13.5% of sales compared to $22.8 million, or 12.0% of sales in the prior year.
Interest expense was $1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to $1.1 million in the prior year quarter.
Income before taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 increased 70% to $36.7 million as compared to $21.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.
The Company’s tax rate for the fiscal third quarter was 49.5% as compared to 34.7% in the prior year quarter reflecting the tax effect of the recognition of the estimated total $12 million non-deductible acquisition-related expenses incurred during the Company’s first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2010 for the Diedrich acquisition which closed during the Company’s fiscal third quarter.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Cash and short-term cash investments were $10 million at June 26, 2010, down from $144.2 million at March 27, 2010, primarily due to the Diedrich acquisition.
Accounts receivable increased 88% year-over-year to $128.8 million at June 26, 2010, from $68.5 million at June 27, 2009, as a result of continuing strong sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2010, particularly within the retail channel where days sales outstanding is higher than other channels, and due to the recent Diedrich acquisition.
Inventories increased 80% to $186.3 million at June 26, 2010 from $103.2 million at June 27, 2009, reflecting the Company’s effort to ensure sufficient inventories of brewers and K-Cups for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.
Long-term debt increased to $271.4 million at June 26, 2010 from $72.7 million at March 27, 2010 as a result of the Company’s execution of a $140 million term loan used to pay a portion of the Diedrich purchase price.

Business Outlook and Other Forward-Looking Information
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2010
With one quarter remaining, the Company has refined its outlook for its fiscal year 2010 and is providing its first estimates for its fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. It now expects:

Total fiscal fourth quarter consolidated net sales growth of 58% to 63% resulting in total fiscal 2010 consolidated net sales growth of 66% to 68%, compared to the prior estimate of 62% to 65%.
Total fiscal 2010 K-Cup portion packs shipped system-wide by all Keurig licensed roasters to increase in the range of 73% to 76%, compared to prior estimate of 73% to 78%.
Fiscal fourth quarter non-GAAP operating margin in the range of 13.0% to 13.5%, resulting in a total fiscal 2010 non-GAAP operating margin in the range of 12.1% to 12.5% excluding acquisition-related transaction expenses.
Fiscal 2010 interest expense of $5.5 million to $6.5 million.
A tax rate of 39.2% for the fiscal year excluding the tax impact of expenses related to the Timothy’s and Diedrich acquisitions.
Fiscal fourth quarter fully diluted non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.18 to $0.20 per share, resulting in total fiscal 2010 fully diluted non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.69 to $0.71 per share, excluding any acquisition-related transaction expenses. The fully diluted non-GAAP earnings per share estimate of $0.69 to $0.71 for the 2010 fiscal year includes $15 million pre-tax or $0.07 per diluted share non-cash amortization expenses related to the identifiable intangibles of the Company’s acquisitions.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 2010 in the range of $120 to $140 million, as compared to prior estimates in the range of $105 to $125 million.
Depreciation and amortization expenses in the range of $44 to $46 million for fiscal year 2010, including $15 million for amortization of identifiable intangibles, up from prior estimates of $40 to $44 million.

First Issue of Company Estimates for Fiscal Year 2011
The company also is providing its first estimates for fiscal year 2011:

Total consolidated net sales growth of 44% to 50%.
Total K-Cup portion packs shipped system-wide to increase in the range of 64% to 68%.
Fully diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.15 to $1.20 per share, representing an increase in the range of 62% to 74% over fiscal year 2010’s fully diluted non-GAAP earnings per share estimate range of $0.69 to $0.71 per share. The fiscal 2011 estimate includes approximately $22 million, or approximately $0.09 per share, of non-cash amortization expenses related to the identifiable intangibles mentioned above.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company provides non-GAAP operating results that exclude certain charges or credits such as acquisition-related transaction expenses, the one-time operating income related to the settlement of the Company’s Kraft litigation, and non-cash related items such as amortization of identifiable intangibles. These amounts are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. The Company’s management believes that these measures provide investors with greater transparency by helping illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition and comparability between current and prior periods. Management uses the measures to establish and monitor budgets and operational goals and to evaluate the performance of the Company.
