News Release| PetSmart Reports Results for the First Quarter 2012 |
Q1 Earnings up 39% to $0.85 Per Share; Comp Sales of 7.4%; Total
Sales up 9.4%; Comp Transactions up 3.3%
PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 22, 2012--
PetSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ: PETM)
today reported earnings of $0.85 per share, up 39% compared to $0.61 per
share in the first quarter of 2011. Net income totaled $95 million in
the first quarter of 2012, compared to $71 million in the first quarter
of 2011.
Total sales for the first quarter of 2012 increased 9.4% to $1.6
billion. The increase in net sales was partially impacted by $2 million
in unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. Comparable store sales, or
sales in stores open at least a year, grew 7.4%, benefitting from
comparable transactions growth of 3.3%. Services sales, which are
included in total sales, grew 8.3% to $181 million.
During the first quarter, the company generated $150 million in
operating cash flow, spent $36 million in capital expenditures,
distributed $15 million in dividends, and repurchased $175 million of
PetSmart stock. The company ended the quarter with $341 million in cash,
cash equivalents and restricted cash and zero borrowings on its credit
facility.
“We are pleased to report another quarter of solid earnings growth,”
said Bob Moran, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our performance
in the first quarter was due to strength across all three merchandising
categories, as well as across services, further solidifying our position
as the leading pet specialty retailer.”
“As a reminder, 2012 contains a 53rd week. For all of 2012,
we anticipate comparable store sales growth in the mid-single digit
range, and total sales growth in the 9% to 10% range. We are raising our
earnings per share guidance from a previous range of $3.02 to $3.16, to
our current expectations of $3.19 to $3.31. The impact of the extra week
is estimated to be $120 million in sales and $0.16 in EPS,” said Chip
Molloy, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "For the
second quarter of 2012, we are expecting comparable store sales growth
in the mid-single digit range, and earnings per share between $0.61 to
$0.65.”
