direct marketer of health and wellness products, today reported
financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
- Net Sales increased 25%
year-over-year to $57.2 million, compared to $45.9 million for the
first quarter of 2009
- The Number of New Customers in
the first quarter of 2010 increased 13% year-over-year to
215,950
- The Number of Back Orders
continues to improve - down more than 50% since the end of the

First Quarter 2010 Results
For the first quarter of 2010, net sales increased 25% to $57.2
million from net sales of $45.9 million for the first quarter of
the prior year. First quarter reported revenue results were in-line
with the Company’s updated guidance for revenue in the range of
$57.0 to $57.5 million. As the Company previously reported, in the
latter half of the first quarter, back orders temporarily increased
on select NSI proprietary products primarily due to a manufacturing
logistics issue at its Lexington, NC plant. As a result, the
Company estimates that $1.0 to $1.2 million of revenue shifted from
the first quarter to the second quarter. In addition, the Company
identified roughly $1.2 million in cancelled orders during the
first quarter. However, despite these issues, both of the Company's
primary sales categories, propriety and third party products,
contributed to the 25% year-over-year revenue increase. Excluding
advertising and fees earned from affiliate programs, sales of third
party products increased 32.2% year-over-year in the first quarter
of 2010. Sales of the Company’s proprietary brands increased 13.5%
year-over-year.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2010 increased 9% to $16.4
million, compared to $15.0 million in the first quarter of the
prior year. The Company's gross profit margin decreased 410 basis
points to 28.6% in the first quarter versus 32.7% in the first
quarter of 2009. Despite the negative impact that the manufacturing
issue had on sales of proprietary brands, gross margin for the
proprietary products increased 400 basis points year-over-year to
60.4% compared to 56.4% last year. Gross margin for third party
products declined 10 basis points year-over-year to 26.2%.
Operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was $3.8 million
compared to $6.1 million in the same period a year ago. The
Company's operating margin decreased to 6.6% from 13.3% for the
same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a lower
gross margin and increased operating expenses associated with
running duplicate distribution centers in Las Vegas to ensure there
were no customer service disruptions while the new distribution
center was officially opened.
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization and related non-cash compensation expense) for the
first quarter of 2010 was $5.0 million, compared to $7.0 million in
the previous year.
The Company reported a 32.3% tax rate in its first quarter,
slightly lower than expected primarily due to the impact of
disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options exercised
during the quarter. The lower-than-expected tax rate contributed
$0.01 to earnings in the quarter.
Net income for the first quarter of 2010 was $2.5 million, or
$0.09 per diluted share, calculated on a weighted average fully
diluted share count of 28.5 million shares, versus net income of
$3.7 million or $0.15 per share for the comparable period last year
calculated on a share count of 23.9 million. The first quarter 2010
earnings per diluted share results were in-line with the Company’s
updated guidance range of $0.08 to $0.09 per share.
“As we have stated previously, 2010 is a year of investment as
we expand and upgrade our distribution centers, and broaden our
product offerings. While we are disappointed in our first quarter
reported results, our management team has taken the necessary steps
to correct the short-term manufacturing logistics situation and we
remain on target to eliminate the production bottleneck by the end
of the second quarter,” said Ira Kerker, Vitacost.com’s Chief
Executive Officer. “Our management team remains intensely focused
on managing the controllable aspects of our business, improving
profitability, generating positive cash flow, and gaining long-term
market share. Vitacost.com will continue to expand its online
health and wellness leadership position by offering our customers
superior value and quality on the best selection of products.”
Balance Sheet/Cash Flow Highlights
The Company ended the first quarter of 2010 with cash, cash

March 31, 2010. Vitacost.com generated $5.4 million in operating

year-over-year.
Outlook
For the second quarter of 2010, the Company expects revenue to
be in the range of $57.2 to $58.2 million. Earnings per diluted
share for the second quarter are expected to be in the range of
$0.09 to $0.10 per diluted share calculated with fully diluted
shares outstanding of 29.4 million and using a 38.0% tax rate.
For the full year ending December 31, 2010 the Company reaffirms
their updated guidance provided on April 20, 2010. The Company
expects revenue to be in the range of $235 to $245 million. The
Company expects net income to be in the range of $11.8 to $14.8
million compared to the full year 2009 net income of $12.9 million
which excludes the one-time, non-cash stock compensation expense.

of $0.40 to $0.50 calculated with fully diluted shares outstanding
of 29.5 million.

Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Income to Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA (earnings before interest,
income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, including goodwill
and intangible asset 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.
