Encompass Group Announces Results for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009
Encompass Group Affiliates, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ECGA), a leader in the consumer electronics segment of the reverse logistics industry, today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
“Notwithstanding these difficult and uncertain economic times, we are extremely pleased with our record results of operations for our fiscal year that ended June 30, 2009, which include substantial year-over-year increases in revenue and net income generated by existing operating subsidiaries, as well as from the impact of acquisitions. With the addition of Tritronics, Inc. effective August 1, 2008, Encompass became the largest distributor of consumer electronic product replacement parts and solutions in the nation.” said Wayne I. Danson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Encompass. “Other highlights of the current fiscal year are the success of our ongoing rebranding of the Company’s operating entities, with Vance Baldwin and Tritronics now integrated into and operating as Encompass Parts Distribution, Inc., the award of the Philips Consumer Electronics North American flat-panel display products parts distribution management agreement, the opening of our Las Vegas distribution and service facility, the launching of our Green Choice Parts™ program, the expansion of our board-level repair and service business, and the formation of subsidiaries in Canada and Mexico as part of our expansion into international markets” added Danson.
“We continue to add new customers and innovative customer programs to generate our growth in revenue and profitability. While the present economic conditions present a challenge - as evidenced in part by the bankruptcy and liquidation of Circuit City, formerly a customer - our professional and experienced management team is fully capable of responding instead of just reacting, and thereby continuing our growth trend.” said Steve Miller, Chief Operating Officer of Encompass.
“While our overall fiscal 2009 sales results of 20% plus growth was a significant accomplishment given the poor economic climate, and in particular, the significant slowdown in general retail electronics sales, sales softened during our third and fourth fiscal quarters. For fiscal 2010, we continue to see a slowdown in the consumer electronics industry resulting in slower than expected sales through the first two quarters of fiscal 2010” said Danson. “We anticipate a rebound in the first and second quarters of calendar 2010, or our third and fourth fiscal year quarters, fueled in part, by our international operations” Danson added.
Financial Highlights ($’s in thousands)
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company reported record revenue of $110,084 compared to $64,327 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, an increase of 71.1%. The increase in revenue is attributable to two factors: internal growth of two existing business units, Vance Baldwin, Inc. and Cyber-Test, Inc., and the acquisition of Tritronics, Inc., completed on August 1, 2008. On a pro forma basis, assuming Vance Baldwin and Tritronics had been included in consolidated results in full for both fiscal years, revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 would have amounted to $111,974 compared to $92,417 for the prior fiscal year, representing, on a pro forma basis, an increase of $19,557. Although the Company’s revenue growth in fiscal 2009 was adversely impacted by a poor economic climate and the aforementioned bankruptcy and liquidation of Circuit City, year-over-year revenue nonetheless increased by 21.2% on a pro forma basis.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, operating income on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis amounted to $7,835 and $2,240, respectively, with net income on a GAAP basis amounting to $2,858 and $4,047, respectively. Fiscal 2009 and 2008 net income includes the effect of an income tax benefit of $1,330 and $4,500, respectively, reflecting the recognition of a portion of the Company’s deferred tax asset attributable to its net operating loss carry forwards.
For the year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA amounted to $5,538 and $6,009, respectively, and $11,121 and $4,458, respectively.
Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP adjusted net income represents our net income before non-cash stock-based and other compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and purchase accounting for inventory and its effect on cost of sales in the period. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, non-cash stock-based and other compensation expense and purchase accounting for inventory and its effect on cost of sales in the period. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future.
We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our core operating measures. We use non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis as such measures exclude the impact of certain items which do not directly result from our core operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
