Three Month Results
For the third quarter, net sales increased 32% to $48.4 million
from net sales of $36.7 million for the third quarter of the prior
year. Both of the Company’s primary sales categories, propriety and
third party products, contributed to this strong year-over-year
increase by generating record third quarter results.
Gross profit for the third quarter increased 71% to $15.1
million, compared to $8.8 million in the third quarter of the prior
year. The Company's gross profit margin increased to 31.2% in the
third quarter versus 24.0% in the third quarter of the prior year.
Overall, gross profit margins improved by 720 basis points
primarily due to transitioning manufacturing of proprietary
capsules and tablets from third-party manufacturers to in-house
manufacturing, increased purchasing power due to higher sales
volume of third-party product, and the raw materials used for
manufacturing our proprietary products.
Pro forma operating income for the third quarter was $4.2
million compared to $0.1 million in the same period a year ago. The
Company’s pro forma operating margin expanded to 8.7% from 0.0% for
the same period last year. This improvement was due to strong net
sales growth, leverage of sales and marketing expense, and the
strength of the Company’s proven business model. The company's GAAP
operating loss, which includes a $10.9 million one-time non-cash
stock-based compensation expense in connection with the recent
initial public offering, was $(6.7) million in the third quarter of
2009 compared with $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2008.
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization and related non-cash compensation expense) for the
third quarter of 2009 was $5.1 million, compared to $0.9 million in
the previous year.
Pro Forma net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $3.1
million, or $0.13 per diluted share calculated on a weighted
average fully diluted share count of 23.7 million shares, versus a
net loss of $(0.1) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, for the
comparable period last year. The Company's GAAP net loss, which
includes the $10.9 million one-time non-cash stock-based
compensation expense in connection with the recent initial public
offering, was $(3.8) million in the third quarter of 2009 or
$(0.17) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $(0.1)
million or $(0.01) per diluted share in the third quarter of
2008.
“We are extremely pleased with our top-line growth, operating
and manufacturing improvements, and strong operating cash flow for
the third quarter and first nine months of this year. Third quarter
net sales increased in our two primary net sales sources — third
party products and propriety products — underscoring our expanding
product offering as well as customer growth. Notably, both our
propriety and third party sales achieved record results, driven by
many factors including our superior customer value, product
selection, and experience,” said Ira Kerker, Vitacost’s Chief
Executive Officer. “Our business is well positioned for long-term
profitable growth and margin expansion even as we continue to
invest in our information technology and marketing strategies.
Customer acquisition cost was $12.68 for the quarter and by
offering the best value, superior customer service and timely and
accurate delivery of leading products we expect our active customer
base of over 1 million customers to continue growing for many years
to come.”
Nine Month Results
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net sales
increased 34% to $141.5 million compared to $105.4 million in the
same period last year.
Pro Forma operating income for the nine months ended September
30, 2009 improved to $16.1 million compared to $1.1 million in the
same period last year. GAAP operating income, which includes the
$10.9 million one-time non-cash stock-based compensation expense in
connection with the recent initial public offering, was $5.2
million compared to $1.1 million in the same period last year.
Operating cash flow was $14.3 million for the nine months
compared to a $(0.9) million for the previous year nine-months and
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine-months was $19.0 million compared to
$3.4 million in the same period last year.
Free cash flow was $8.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 compared to $(5.5) million last year. (Free cash
flow is calculated using net cash provided by operating activities
less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment).
Pro forma net income was $10.3 million, or $0.44 per diluted
share, compared to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted
share, in the same period last year. The Company's GAAP net income,
which includes the $10.9 million one-time non-cash stock-based
compensation expense in connection with the recent initial public
offering, was $3.3 million or $0.14 per fully diluted share for the
first nine months of 2009 compared with net income of $0.6 million
or $0.02 per fully diluted share for the first nine months of
2008.
Successful Initial Public Offering
On September 24, 2009, the Company completed an initial public
offering of its common stock at $12.00 per share and raised $132
million. The Company received approximately $47.1 million in net
proceeds. The net proceeds to the Company from this offering are
being used to repay existing indebtedness, approximately $20
million to fund capital expenditures such as purchasing fulfillment
and manufacturing equipment and retrofitting and expanding the
manufacturing and distribution facilities; and the balance for
working capital, reducing notes payables and general corporate
purposes.
Richard Smith, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Our recent
initial public offering combined with over $14.3 million of
operating cash flow for the first nine months of this year enables
us to complete our manufacturing expansion and continued
investments in technological infrastructure. Our growing active
customer base of over 1 million customers and the strength of our
balance sheet have us well positioned for many years of future
growth.”
Balance Sheet
The Company ended the third quarter of 2009 with cash and cash
equivalents of $48.4 million as of September 30, 2009. As of
September 30, 2009, the Company had $7.7 million of notes
payable.
Outlook
For the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company anticipates revenue
of $48.0 to 49.0 million. Earnings per diluted share for the fourth
quarter are expected to be in the range of $0.07 to $0.08. Weighted
average shares for diluted EPS in the fourth quarter of 2009 are
estimated to be approximately 29.5 million shares, compared to 23.7
million shares at the end of the third quarter 2009, primarily
resulting from the issuance of shares in the Company's IPO.
For the full year ending December 31, 2009, the Company expects
revenue of $189.5 to $190.5 million and pro forma earnings per
diluted share of $0.50 to $0.51, excluding the non-cash stock-based
compensation expense in connection with the recent IPO outlined
above. Weighted average shares used to calculate diluted earnings
per share for the full year ending December 31, 2009 are estimated
to be approximately 25.1 million shares.

This earnings release includes information presented on a pro
forma basis. These pro forma financial measures are considered
"non-GAAP" financial measures within the meaning of SEC Regulation
G. The Company believes that this presentation of pro forma results
provides useful information to both management and investors by
excluding specific expenses that the Company believes are not
indicative of core operating results. The presentation of this
additional information should not be considered in isolation or as
a substitute for results prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The reconciliations set forth below
are provided in accordance with Regulation G and reconcile the pro
forma financial measures with the most directly comparable
GAAP-based financial measures.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation,

impairment) is not a measure of financial performance under
generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, but is used by
some investors to determine the strength of a company's cash flow.
The presentation of this additional information should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
reconciliation set forth above is provided in accordance with
Regulation G and reconciles EBITDA, with the most directly
comparable GAAP-based financial measure. EBITDA is not calculated
in the same manner by all companies and accordingly is not
necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other
companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance
relative to other companies. EBITDA is not intended to represent
and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an
alternative to, measures of operating performance as determined in
accordance with GAAP.
