Peet\'s Coffee & Tea, Inc. Reports 62% Increase in Second Quarter 2008 Diluted Earnings Per Share
Peet\'s Coffee & Tea, Inc. (Nasdaq: PEET) today announced its results for the quarter ended June 29, 2008, which included 13 weeks.
In this release, the Company reports:
-- Net revenue of $70.1 million, an increase of 17% versus last year;
-- Diluted earnings per share of $0.21, an increase of 62% versus last
year; and
-- The Company added 300 additional grocery accounts in the quarter and
Peet\'s is now available in 7,200 grocery stores, on track for a full
year target of 8,000.
For the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2008, net revenue increased 16.6% to $70.1 million from $60.1 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2007.
Net income for the quarter was $3.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $1.8 million or $0.13 per diluted share last year.
\"We\'re very pleased with our progress this quarter which was driven by strong, profitable growth in our grocery and other wholesale businesses, and improved operating efficiencies across the Company,\" said Patrick O\'Dea, president and chief executive officer of Peet\'s Coffee & Tea, Inc. \"This enabled us to increase income from operations 87% and deliver 62% earnings per share growth despite the more challenging economic environment.\"
Financial and Operating Summary
Specialty net revenue increased 24% to $23.7 million, compared to $19.1 million for the corresponding quarter last year. Within the specialty business, grocery grew 27%, foodservice and office sales were up 42% and the home delivery business declined 2% compared to the same period last year.
Retail net revenue increased 13% to $46.3 million for the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2008 from $41.0 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to new retail stores opened in the last 12 months and modest growth in existing stores. The Company opened four new retail locations in the quarter.
Cost of sales and related occupancy costs decreased to 46.0% of net revenue compared to 47.2% for the corresponding quarter last year. The decrease versus last year is due to improvements in procurement, good cost management in the retail segment and roasting facility expense leverage, partially offset by higher commodity costs.
Operating expenses as a percent of net revenue decreased to 35.2% compared to 35.5% for the corresponding quarter last year. The decline was driven by lower operating costs in the retail and foodservice businesses, partially offset by higher costs associated with expanding the grocery business.
General and administrative expense was equal to last year at $5.4 million as headcount related costs were consistent with the corresponding quarter last year.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $3.2 million, compared to $2.6 million for the corresponding quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to the opening of 27 new retail stores in the last 12 months.
Income from operations for the quarter increased 87% versus the corresponding quarter last year to $4.5 million. As a percent of net revenue, income from operations improved by 2.4 percentage points to 6.4% compared to 4.0% for the corresponding quarter last year.
The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents plus investments of $18.1 million. The cash position was reduced by the Company\'s purchase of $8.3 million of its common stock during the quarter.
Looking ahead, the Company confirmed its prior earnings guidance for the full year 2008 of $0.77 to $0.82 per diluted share.
