Golfsmith Announces Second Quarter 2010 Earnings Results

AUSTIN, Texas--()--Golfsmith International Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ: GOLF) today announced financial results for the second quarter fiscal 2010 ended July 3, 2010.

Second Quarter Highlights:

  • Net revenues increased 2.8% to $118.0 million as compared to net revenues of $114.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Net revenues reflect a 0.4 percent decrease in comparable store sales and a 0.3 percent decrease in net revenues from the direct-to-consumer channel.
  • Operating income totaled $7.3 million compared to operating income of $8.3 million for the same period last year.
  • Net income totaled $6.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, based on 17.2 million fully diluted shares outstanding, as compared to net income of $6.8 million or $0.42 per diluted share, based on 16.1 million fully diluted shares outstanding in last year’s second quarter.
  • As of July 3, 2010, the Company had $27.6 million of outstanding borrowings under its credit facility and borrowing availability of $44.5 million. This compares to $28.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its credit facility, and $41.7 million of borrowing availability at July 4, 2009.
  • During the second quarter ended July 3, 2010, the company opened three new stores in two new markets. The Company also signed a lease for a property in Naples, Florida for the opening of a retail store in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.
  • Average store inventory declined 1.3 percent at July 3, 2010 as compared to July 4, 2009.

Martin Hanaka, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Golfsmith, commented, “While second quarter financial results did not meet our expectations, we were encouraged by the sequential improvement in our comparable store sales each month and by the progress we made in our direct-to-consumer business. Also, conversion rates increased across all regions due to improvements in store operations and inventory planning efforts. Traffic trends in most stores improved throughout the quarter, although our west coast region remains more pressured than other parts of the country by the macroeconomic environment. Although our second quarter sales remained challenged by the continued difficult retail environment, we are pleased with the advances we have made in our operational initiatives and remain confident that we are on the right strategic path.”

Year-to-Date Results

  • Net revenues were $185.7 million for the six-month period ended July 3, 2010 as compared to net revenues of $183.6 million for the same period last year. Net revenues reflect a 0.6 percent decrease in comparable store sales and a 5.9 percent decrease in net revenues from its direct-to-consumer channel.
  • Operating income totaled $2.0 million as compared to operating income of $2.9 million for the first six months of last year. The Company recorded a $0.5 million non-recurring charge, or $0.03 per diluted share, related to severance associated with organizational changes in the first quarter of 2009.
  • Net income totaled $1.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share based on 16.9 million fully diluted shares outstanding, compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share based on 16.0 million fully diluted shares outstanding for the six-month period ended July 4, 2009.
