- Fourth Quarter Stores Segment Net Sales Increase 18.5% -
CLEVELAND, March 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LESCO, Inc.
(NASDAQ:LSCO), a leading provider of products for the professional
green and pest control industries, today announced fourth quarter
and full-year results for the period ending December 31, 2005.
Fourth Quarter 2005 Results Net sales for the three months ended
December 31, 2005 increased 3.5% to $128.6 million from $124.2
million in the comparable period a year ago. Gross profit on sales
increased to 23.3% of net sales, or $29.9 million, compared to
21.9% of net sales, or $27.2 million, in the fourth quarter of
2004. Beginning in the fourth quarter, gross profit reflects the
incremental cost of the outsourcing of warehouse and distribution
functions to Turf Care Supply Corp. (TCS). Due to the seasonal
nature of the green industry, LESCO historically has recognized a
loss in its fourth quarter. The Company reported a 2005 GAAP-basis
loss of $1.74 per diluted share versus a loss of $1.49 per diluted
share in 2004. The net loss was $15.6 million in the fourth quarter
of 2005 compared to a net loss of $13.0 million in the fourth
quarter of 2004. Fourth quarter 2005 operating results included
costs of $4.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, related to the
Company's supply chain transaction, including $2.2 million of
expense to close the four distribution hubs that were not purchased
by TCS. Additional net charges included $2.5 million, or $0.28 per
diluted share, for the markdown costs to restructure the Company's
parts sourcing model and product offering, which are included in
cost of product, and $2.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for
expenses associated with a stock option buyout and severance costs
for former executives, which is included in general and
administrative costs. Fourth quarter 2004 operating results
included $1.9 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, of net expense
related to the Company's corporate headquarters relocation along
with hurricane and flood related activity, and $5.2 million, or
$0.60 per diluted share, in charges associated with a supplier
contract termination. Jeffrey Rutherford, President and Chief
Executive Officer stated, "This past year, the Company reached a
significant inflection point as we completed our strategic and
financial restructuring, and our primary focus is now on operating
performance. As we build on the refined model we have put in place
over the past few years, we expect to make additional progress in
opening new service centers and improving our operations in 2006
and the years ahead. We firmly believe LESCO is well-positioned to
increase profitability consistently over the long term." The
Company's GAAP results do not reflect any tax benefit related to
the Company's fourth quarter 2005 and fourth quarter 2004 loss
before income tax because of the required accounting treatment for
LESCO's deferred tax assets. Assuming a 39% tax rate to realize the
deferred tax benefit, which LESCO typically utilizes to evaluate
year-over-year performance, and excluding net charges totaling $9.8
million related to the sale of the Company's supply chain assets,
its outsourcing of parts merchandise and further rationalization of
its product assortment, and the stock option buyout and severance
costs, the Company would have reported a fourth quarter 2005
adjusted loss of $0.39 per diluted share. This compares to an
adjusted loss of $0.42 per diluted share in the fourth quarter
2004, excluding net charges of $7.1 million related to corporate
relocation expense, hurricane and flood damage, and vendor contract
termination costs and assuming a 39% tax rate. Management believes
these adjusted results are useful to investors to permit them to
assess the Company's results from ongoing operations. A
reconciliation of our adjusted results to the most directly
comparable GAAP measure is set forth in the attached Consolidated
Statements of Operations GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation. Full Year
2005 Results Net sales for the twelve months ended December 31,
2005 increased 2.6% to $575.7 million from $561.0 million in the
comparable period a year ago. Gross profit increased to $141.4
million, or 24.6% of net sales, from $138.4 million, or 24.7% of
net sales last year. Gross profit was negatively impacted by $6.3
million, or 1.1% of net sales, in 2005 due to inventory markdowns
related to the Company's decision to outsource parts distribution
and further rationalize its product offering, along with costs
incurred to dispose of inventory in conjunction with the supply
chain transaction. In 2005, the Company reported a GAAP basis net
loss of $26.7 million, or $3.00 per diluted share, compared to a
net loss of $5.6 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in 2004.
Included in the full-year 2005 results were costs of $24.0 million,
or $2.70 per diluted share, related to the supply chain
transaction, including costs for the closing of four distribution
hubs that were not purchased by TCS; $6.3 million, or $0.70 per
diluted share, for the markdown charge to restructure the parts
sourcing model and rationalize LESCO's product offering and to
dispose of inventory in conjunction with the supply chain
transaction; $2.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for stock
option buyout and severance costs for former executives; and $0.5
million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for costs associated with a
supplier contract termination. In 2004, full-year results were
reduced by $6.9 million for corporate headquarters relocation
expense; $5.2 million for costs associated with a supplier contract
termination including product markdown costs; and $1.2 million for
hurricane and flood-related charges, equating in the aggregate to a
$1.53 charge per diluted share. For the full year, the Company
would have reported adjusted net income of $0.45 per diluted share
for 2005 compared to $0.55 per diluted share for 2004, excluding
these charges and assuming a 39% tax rate. A reconciliation of our
adjusted results to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is
set forth in the attached Consolidated Statements of Operations
GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation. Segment Operating Results
Concurrently with the sale of its supply chain assets, the Company
revised its segment reporting and now reports on two segments -
Stores and Direct. The Stores Segment includes operating results of
the Company's Service Centers, Stores-on-Wheels(R) vehicles and
field management costs. The Direct Segment includes the operating
results of all non-store transactions. Mr. Rutherford added, "We
have streamlined our business and are delivering on our strategic
initiatives. During the fourth quarter, we achieved a milestone by
opening our 300th Service Center location, and we began to see more
traction in our Stores Segment strategy as evidenced by the shift
in sales towards this higher growth, higher return store model.
Through the use of targeted promotions, and by leveraging the
strength of our store professionals, we were able to drive sales
and market share growth. Drawing on the experience of our
management team, we are improving our merchandising, marketing and
store operations, which should translate into incremental revenues
and gross profit expansion." Stores Segment Operating Results -
Stores Segment net sales for the three months ended December 31,
2005 increased 18.4% to $115.7 million from $97.7 million in the
same period a year ago. Service Center net sales increased 16.2%
and Stores-on-Wheels net sales increased 29.0%. Comparable Service
Center sales increased 10.4%. Gross profit as a percentage of sales
increased 140 basis points to 25.8% from 24.4%, driven by better
product margins in our seed and control product categories. Stores
Segment selling expense increased $5.5 million on a quarter-over-
quarter basis to $21.9 million, or 18.9% of net sales, from $16.4
million, or 16.8% of net sales, in 2004. Of this increase, $1.5
million is directly attributable to the 31 new Service Centers and
$1.0 million to the 38 new Stores-on-Wheels opened during the past
twelve months along with $0.6 million of additional field
management expense to enhance the structure to support future store
growth. Additionally, selling expense increased due to the timing
of certain costs related to training and selling support and the
achievement of sales and productivity goals that resulted in an
increase in field personnel incentive compensation. Merchant
discounts were $2.1 million, or 1.8% of net sales, during the
quarter versus $1.0 million, or 1.0% of net sales, in the same
period in 2004. This increase is due to a shift in mix of customer
credit usage towards higher-cost bank cards from the Company's
private label credit program. Earnings before interest and taxes
declined to $5.9 million in fourth quarter 2005 versus $6.4 million
for the same period last year. Stores Segment net sales for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2005 increased 10.4% to $499.5
million. Service Center net sales increased 9.7% and
Stores-on-Wheels net sales increased 14.5%. Comparable Service
Center net sales increased 5.8% for the year. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales increased 60 basis points to 27.8%. The
$14.5 million year-over-year increase in selling expense is
directly attributable to $4.5 million for new Service Centers and
$3.9 million for Stores-on-Wheels openings during the past twelve
months, along with $2.7 million for the expansion of the field
management team and other training and incentive costs as discussed
above. Merchant discount fees increased to $8.4 million, or 1.7% of
net sales, from $6.3 million, or 1.4% of net sales, in the previous
year. This increase as a percentage of net sales was driven by the
previously described shift in customer credit usage between private
label and national bank cards. Earnings before interest and taxes
were $47.5 million versus $48.4 million during the same period in
the prior year. While Stores-on-Wheels contributed to the expansion
of gross profit, their operating profit was negatively impacted by
incremental expenses of $6.6 million, resulting in a net decrease
in operating profit of $3.6 million. Direct Segment Operating
Results - Direct Segment net sales were $12.9 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2005 versus $26.5 million in the
comparable period a year ago. The decline is directly attributable
to the Company's decision to restructure and redeploy its direct
sales representatives in March of 2005. Gross profit as a
percentage of sales increased 360 basis points to 19.4% from 15.8%
as a result of a continued focus in national accounts on customer
profitability rather than sales volume. Direct Segment selling
expense decreased $2.4 million on a quarter-over- quarter basis to
$0.6 million, or 4.7% of net sales, from 11.3% of net sales in
2004. This decrease is due to the significant reduction in the
number of direct sales representatives. Merchant discounts were
flat year-over-year at $0.4 million, but increased 160 basis points
to 3.1% of net sales reflecting the write-off of certain recourse
accounts. Earnings before interest and taxes were $1.5 million in
the current year versus $0.8 million in the prior year. Direct
Segment net sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005
were $76.2 million compared to $108.6 million in 2004. Gross profit
as a percentage of sales was 11.7% versus 14.9% in 2004; however,
the Company began addressing lower-profit accounts which were then
restructured in 2005. For the full year, Direct Segment selling
expense declined $7.6 million, primarily attributable to the
reduction in direct sales representatives. Merchant discounts
increased $0.2 million to 2.5% of net sales in 2005 compared to
1.6% in 2004 primarily due to recourse account activity as
previously discussed. Earnings before interest and taxes grew to
$1.4 million in 2005 from $1.3 million in the prior year. Corporate
The two operating segments are supplemented by Corporate costs
incurred for support functions, including Corporate selling
expenses, merchant discounts, general and administrative expenses,
and new store pre-opening costs. Total Corporate expense for the
fourth quarter of 2005 was $22.8 million, which included $9.8
million of net costs for the transaction with TCS, accelerated
markdowns, severance and stock option repurchase costs. Total
Corporate expense for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $20.0 million,
which included a net expense of $7.1 million for corporate
headquarters relocation, hurricane and flood related activity, and
charges associated with a supplier contract termination. Corporate
selling expense, comprised of customer service, bids processing,
product registration and marketing expenses, was $2.7 million in
the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to $3.2 million for the same
period in 2004. Corporate merchant discounts, which are incurred
for the extension of customer payment terms, increased to $4.1
million from $2.5 million for the like period last year as market
conditions necessitated more aggressive promotional offerings, and
our customers participated at higher-than-historical levels.
General and administrative expense was $8.3 million, including
stock option repurchase and severance expenses, compared to $7.1
million in the fourth quarter of 2004. These 2005 results reflect a
reduction or elimination of some expenses as a result of the supply
chain transaction. Pre-opening expense in the fourth quarter of
2005 was $0.5 million compared to $0.2 million for the same period
last year. Total Corporate expense for the full year 2005 was $74.7
million, versus $54.2 million in 2004, both of which include the
incremental expenses delineated above in the full-year Company
results. New Service Centers and Stores-on-Wheels LESCO increased
its Service Centers by 11% in 2005, opening 11 new Service Centers
during the fourth quarter of 2005 and 31 for the full year. On
December 31, 2005, there were 305 Service Centers in operation,
versus 274 at the end of 2004. The Company opened 65% of the new
Service Centers during the second half of 2005. The 79 Service
Centers that were opened from 2003 through the end of 2005
generated net sales of $14.7 million for the quarter and pre-tax
loss of $0.7 million. For the full year 2005, these Service Centers
generated net sales of $55.4 million and pre-tax income of $0.5
million. These results reflect our new segment reporting. Our new
store financial model has been revised to include all warehouse and
distribution costs, of which some were historically considered
fixed costs and are now reported as variable costs in our segment
results. LESCO increased its Stores-on-Wheels fleet by 52% in 2005,
opening 38 new Stores-on-Wheels vehicles during the year. On
December 31, 2005, there were 111 Stores-on-Wheels vehicles in
operation, versus 73 at the end of 2004. Sale of Supply Chain
Assets On October 11, 2005, the Company announced that it had
completed the sale of its supply chain assets and consumable
products inventory, including fertilizer, seed, control products,
combination products, and related products, to TCS. The supply
chain assets sold included all four of LESCO's blending facilities
and the majority of the Company's warehouse and distribution
centers. At closing, the Company received $15 million in cash and
$19 million in accounts receivable from TCS. The accounts
receivable were fully collected during the fourth quarter.
Ultimately, the Company expects to harvest $25 million in cash
after settling all requirements associated with the transaction
including the accounts payable due to vendors for the inventory
sold to TCS. Share Repurchase Program With the sale of the supply
chain assets complete, the Company announced on October 21, 2005
that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to
1.5 million common shares and equivalents. Repurchases under the
Company's share buy back program will be made in the open market or
through privately negotiated transactions. During the fourth
quarter, the Company repurchased options to purchase approximately
336,000 common shares that could have been exercised at various
intervals over the next six years and recognized a related charge
of $1.3 million. Balance Sheet As of December 31, 2005, LESCO's
cash and cash equivalent balance was $21.0 million versus $8.1
million at the same time last year. The Company had no debt at
December 31, 2005, compared to total debt of $7.3 million as of
December 31, 2004. Full Year 2006 Guidance The Company announced

adjustments include $4.7 million for the supply chain transaction,
$2.5 million for parts merchandise strategy and rationalization of
the Company's product assortment, and $2.6 million of stock option
buyout and severance costs for former executives. Management
believes that an assessment of the Company's ongoing operating
results for its fourth quarter 2005 excluding charges for its
supply chain transaction, parts merchandise strategy, and
severance/stock option buyout costs is useful to investors to
permit comparison of ongoing operations. (b) On a generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, LESCO cannot recognize
the benefit of establishing a deferred tax asset to be realized in
a future period because of the required accounting treatment for
its current tax position. Management believes that in order to
present meaningful comparison to historical Company results, a tax
benefit should be reflected based on the operating loss recorded in
the fourth quarters of 2005 and 2004. This assumes that LESCO will
realize benefits in the future from its deferred tax assets. The
adjusted results reflect a tax benefit calculated assuming a tax
rate of 39%. (c) 2004 adjustments include $2.0 million for
corporate relocation, $(0.1) million for hurricane/flood expense,
and $5.2 million for vendor contract termination costs. Management
believes that an assessment of the Company's ongoing operating
results for its fourth quarter 2004 excluding charges for its
