Physicians Formula Holdings Inc. closes up on upgrade

Jennifer Schonberger | Aug 20, 2007 5:15pm EDT | User Rating N/A

Shares of Physicians Formula Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: FACE) closed higher today after Citigroup upgraded the cosmetics company to a “buy” rating from “hold” and increased its target price to $13 from $12.

Citigroup analyst Wendy Nicholson said she thinks the stock has bottomed out from a fundamental and valuation standpoint and “now offers an attractive entry point.”

Shares of Physicians Formula have declined 60% since April on account of negative earnings revisions, poor communication from management and an overall weaker consumer spending environment, according to Nicholoson. The company now trades at 13 times Nicholson’s revised calendar year 2008 EPS estimate.

Out of the Gate: Physicians Formula Up
Monday August 20, 10:02 am ET
Analyst Upgrades Physicians Formula Holdings Stock on Prediction of Strong 2008 Sales Growth


NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of Physicians Formula Holdings Inc. gained ground Monday after a Citi Investment Research analyst upgraded the stock to "Buy," saying the cosmetics company will post strong sales growth in 2008.

The stock has lost more than half its value since May 8, when Physicians Formula said its second-quarter results would miss analyst estimates. The company cut its quarterly and full-year outlook in July, and lowered its 2007 forecast again on Tuesday.

Physicians Formula began trading in November, and set a low of $8.26 per share on Thursday.

Wendy Nicholson upgraded the stock to "Buy" from "Hold," and raised her price target to $13 per share from $12. She thinks the company's sales will grow 16 percent in 2008 -- better than its competitors -- and said Physicians Formula will increase its market share despite weak U.S. consumer spending.

Three analysts report a "Buy"-equivalent rating on the stock to Thomson Financial, while one gives a "Neutral" rating.

Shares advanced 82 cents, or 4.5 percent, to $9.87 in morning trading.

xxxx,

I apologize for the late reply ... I was out on a personal day yesterday.

Regarding your question, the difference between the 13.9 million and the 14.5 million is that the 13.9 million represent basic shares outstanding. The 14.5 million represent dilutive shares outstanding (basic plus options outstanding).

I hope this helps you. If you need any further help, feel free to contact me.

New Venturesome Manufacturers with Specialty Offerings Giving the Makeup Industry a New Look, Says Mercanti Report

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Walk into any department store, and what's the first thing that greets you? Counter after counter of makeup. In the cosmetics industry, makeup, a $6 billion to $8 billion business in the U.S., is a steady growth category, with consistent yearly gains and mounting demand.

And while the makeup segment is dominated by three giants (L'Oreal, Procter & Gamble and Revlon), smaller companies enjoying faster growth potential are beginning to proliferate and make their mark, says the newly released monthly Mercanti Chronicle report by investment banking firm, The Mercanti Group.

"Successful private equity investments in makeup companies, such as Bare Essentials (NASDAQ: BARE) and Physician's Formula (NASDAQ: FACE), have recently been realized through initial public offerings," says the study by Mercanti Principal Josh Susser.

"Further, highly experienced private equity investors have recently invested in Philosophy, SmashBox and Stila. Each of these companies is capitalizing on a makeup market in flux, where small share gains have a dramatic impact on investment returns," the report states.

Noting that today 70% of women in the U.S. wear makeup, the comprehensive Mercanti report says that entrepreneurial and start-up companies have found ways to exploit the market's fragmentation within certain channels and niches. "In the process, they have created cult followings and significant shareholder value," it says.

Other changes are afoot, the report comments. While historically food, drug and mass retailers, along with department stores, have accounted for nearly all makeup sales, consumers are increasingly turning to other sources, such as the Internet, infomercials, home shopping channels and home marketing organizations. In addition, mass merchants and growing specialty retailers now offer prestige products, creating a significant "upper mass" or "mass-tige" market for luxury makeup goods, Mr. Susser observes.

The growth of the makeup market, which takes place in increments (future gains are expected to nearly match the rate of inflation, as compared to a 5% annual growth previously), is being driven by the appeal of home shopping channel offerings, aging Baby Boomers, enhanced makeup assortments among mass retailers, attractively priced private brands and favorable fashion trends.

"One cannot deny that makeup sales are driven by fashion trends," comments the report. Mr. Susser points out that as mascara and eye liner products have been more innovative in terms of color and effect than lipsticks, eye makeup sales increased 15% from 2004 to 2006, while lip makeup over the same period decreased 7%.

At the same time, consumers are seeking makeup that is natural and has health effects that help improve both body and mind. "In general, the natural makeup trend follows the overall trend toward purchasing natural and organic personal care products for both wellness and a specific function," the Mercanti Chronicle reports. "Consumers are persuaded by makeup products that are multi-functional or that include a pharmaceutical element, so-called cosmeceuticals."

"Research shows that American women today desire their makeup to better match their look. They also want it to be all-natural, hypo-allergenic, non-comedogenic, with nutrients, sunscreen and moisturizer," Mr. Susser concludes. "When they age, they want it to make them look younger. When they are young, they want it to make them look older. What it all adds up to from business and investment viewpoints, is that if makeup companies can find a product to fit individual groups of women, there are infinite opportunities."
