Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is the Registrant’s press release reflecting earnings information for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

The press release contains information regarding EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. The press release also contains a reconciliation of EBITDA to the Registrant’s reported earnings before income taxes. Management of the Registrant believes that presentation of EBITDA is useful to investors, as among other things, this information impacts certain financial covenants under the Registrant’s senior credit facilities and the indenture governing its 6  5/8% senior unsecured notes due November 2020. While management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating the Registrant, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure may differ from similar measures presented by other companies.

Pursuant to General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, all of the information contained in this Form 8-K and the accompanying exhibit shall be deemed to be “furnished” and not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, therefore, shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

RENT-A-CENTER, INC. REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

Total Revenues Increased 7.4%

Same Store Sales Increased 2.8%

Diluted Earnings per Share of $0.74

Repurchased Approximately 489,000 Shares of Common Stock

 

 

Plano, Texas, July 23, 2012 — Rent-A-Center, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ/NGS: RCII), the nation’s largest rent-to-own operator, today announced revenues and earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Second Quarter 2012 Results

Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, were $749.7 million, an increase of $51.4 million from total revenues of $698.3 million for the same period in the prior year. This 7.4% increase in total revenues was primarily due to growth in the RAC Acceptance segment. Same store sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, increased 2.8%.

Net earnings and net earnings per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2012, were $44.2 million and $0.74, respectively, as compared to $39.9 million and $0.63, respectively, for the same period in the prior year. Net earnings and net earnings per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2011, were reduced by $4.9 million, and approximately $0.05 per share, respectively, due to a pre-tax restructuring charge related to the acquisition of The Rental Store, Inc., as discussed below.

Net earnings per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2012, were $0.74, as compared to adjusted net earnings per diluted share of $0.68, when excluding the pre-tax restructuring charge above, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 8.8%. These results include dilution related to the Company’s international growth initiatives of approximately $0.08 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2012, and $0.03 per share for the same period in the prior year.

“We are generally pleased with our results in the quarter, as total revenues increased over 7% and earnings per share increased close to 9%,” said Mark E. Speese, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The RAC Acceptance segment performed exceptionally well nearly doubling revenue from a year ago to $77 million, with a gross profit margin of 58% and an operating profit of $7 million,” Speese continued. “Our Core U.S. segment experienced a 1.6% growth in total revenue in the quarter keeping us on track to achieve our 2012 total revenue guidance of 7% to 10% growth and our 2012 diluted earnings per share guidance of $3.00 to $3.20,” Speese concluded.


Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Results

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012, were $1.585 billion, an increase of $145.0 million from total revenues of $1.440 billion for the same period in the prior year. This 10.1% increase in total revenues was primarily due to growth in the RAC Acceptance segment as well as growth in the Core U.S. segment. Same store sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012, increased 4.5%.

Net earnings and net earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2012, were $96.1 million and $1.61, respectively, as compared to $84.1 million and $1.32, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

Net earnings and net earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were impacted by the following significant items, as discussed below:

 

   

A $4.9 million pre-tax restructuring charge, or approximately $0.05 per share, related to the acquisition of The Rental Store, Inc.;

 

   

A $7.3 million pre-tax impairment charge, or approximately $0.07 per share, related to the discontinuation of the financial services business; and

 

   

A $2.8 million pre-tax litigation expense, or approximately $0.03 per share, related to the settlement of wage and hour claims in California.

Collectively, these items reduced net earnings per diluted share by approximately $0.15 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Net earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2012, were $1.61, as compared to adjusted net earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2011, of $1.47 when excluding the items above, an increase of 9.5%.

Through the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the Company generated cash flow from operations of approximately $161.1 million, while ending the quarter with approximately $101.1 million of cash on hand. During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 488,731 shares of its common stock for approximately $16.5 million in cash under its common stock repurchase program. To date, the Company has repurchased a total of 29,811,484 shares and has utilized approximately $732.0 million of the $800.0 million authorized by its Board of Directors since the inception of the plan. Also, reflecting continued confidence in its strong cash flows by returning cash to stockholders, the Company will pay its ninth consecutive quarterly cash dividend on July 25, 2012.


2012 Guidance

The Company began presenting segmented financial information commencing with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Accordingly, quarterly segmented operating results were initiated with the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The Company is committed to high levels of disclosure and transparency with respect to its operating segments.

In addition, the Company made certain changes to its guidance practices. Beginning with the fourth quarter 2011 earnings press release, the Company began providing annual guidance with quarterly updates on the metrics below. The Company will no longer provide quarterly earnings per share guidance; however, the Company has made available on its web site (investor.rentacenter.com) a range of the percentage contribution to full year diluted earnings per share by quarter based on historical results since 2009. In future years, the Company will provide its initial annual guidance for the following fiscal year with the fourth quarter earnings press release. We believe these changes in guidance practice will allow management to focus on the Company’s long-term performance and the execution of our strategic plan as communicated in November 2010.

2012 Guidance

 

   

7% to 10% total revenue growth.

 

   

Low single digit growth in the Core U.S.

 

   

Over $300 million contribution from RAC Acceptance.

The Company expects to open approximately 50 domestic rent-to-own store locations.

2011 Significant Items

Restructuring Charge. As previously reported, the Company recorded a $4.9 million pre-tax restructuring charge during the second quarter of 2011 related to post-acquisition lease terminations in connection with the December 2010 acquisition of The Rental Store, Inc. This pre-tax restructuring charge of $4.9 million reduced net earnings per diluted share by approximately $0.05 in both the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2011.

Financial Services Charge. As previously reported, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $7.3 million during the first quarter of 2011 related primarily to loan write-downs, fixed asset disposals (store reconstruction) and other miscellaneous items in connection with the discontinuation of the financial services business. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, this pre-tax impairment charge of $7.3 million reduced net earnings per diluted share by approximately $0.07.

Settlement of Wage & Hour Claims in California. As previously reported, the Company recorded a $2.8 million pre-tax litigation expense during the first quarter of 2011 in connection with the settlement of certain putative class actions pending in California alleging various claims, including violations of California wage and hour laws. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, this pre-tax litigation expense of $2.8 million reduced net earnings per diluted share by approximately $0.03.
