THIRD QUARTER 2014 RESULTS
Total Revenues Increased 2.0%
Consolidated Same Store Sales Increased 1.9%
Diluted Earnings per Share of $0.48
______________________________________________
Plano, Texas, October 20, 2014 — Rent-A-Center, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ/NGS: RCII), the nation's largest rent-to-own operator, today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.
Third Quarter 2014 Results
Total revenues were $769.5 million, an increase of $14.7 million from total revenues of $754.8 million for the same period in the prior year. This 2.0% increase in total revenues was primarily due to increases of approximately $36.6 million in the Acceptance Now segment and approximately $6.9 million in the Mexico segment, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $29.5 million in the Core U.S. segment.
Same store sales increased 1.9% as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily attributable to increases of 25.7% and 25.9% in the Acceptance Now and Mexico segments, respectively, partially offset by a 3.6% decrease in the Core U.S. segment.
Net earnings and net earnings per diluted share were $25.3 million and $0.48, respectively, as compared to $27.2 million and $0.50, respectively, for the same period in the prior year. After adjusting for significant items (see Non-GAAP Reconciliation below), net earnings and net earnings per diluted share were $26.0 million and $0.49, respectively.
"As we expected, same store sales improved again versus the previous quarter in our Core U.S. business, aided by the roll-out of smartphones in July. In addition, Acceptance Now continued to deliver consistently strong same store sales growth. As a result of the performance of these two businesses, our earnings for the third quarter 2014 met our expectations," said Robert D. Davis, the Chief Executive Officer of Rent-A-Center, Inc.
"At the same time, these results confirm our urgency to execute on the transformation we outlined in February, with a focus on operational and infrastructure initiatives such as introducing a new labor model for our Core U.S. stores, developing a new supply chain, formulating a customer-focused value-based pricing strategy and implementing new technology into our Acceptance Now locations," Mr. Davis concluded.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 Results
Total revenues were $2,376.5 million, an increase of $41.9 million from total revenues of $2,334.6 million in the same period in the prior year. This 1.8% increase in total revenues was primarily due to increases of approximately $121.9 million in the Acceptance Now segment and approximately $19.7 million in the Mexico segment, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $97.6 million in the Core U.S. segment.
Same store sales increased 0.5% as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily attributable to increases of 25.6% and 21.2% in the Acceptance Now and Mexico segments, respectively, partially offset by a 4.9% decrease in the Core U.S. segment.
Net earnings and net earnings per diluted share were $71.7 million and $1.35, respectively, as compared to $115.2 million and $2.06, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company generated cash flow from operations of approximately $63.3 million, while ending the quarter with approximately $62.0 million of cash on hand. The Company will pay its 18th consecutive quarterly cash dividend on October 23, 2014.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation
Management believes that excluding special items from the financial results provides investors a clearer perspective of the Company's ongoing operating performance and a more relevant comparison to prior period results. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a pre-tax credit of approximately $7.1 million due to the settlement of a lawsuit against the manufacturers of LCD screen displays, pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $2.8 million related to a corporate reorganization, pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $0.4 million related to the previously announced consolidation of 150 stores, and a pre-tax impairment charge of $4.6 million related to internally-developed computer software. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company also recorded $1.9 million of financing charges due to refinancing in the first quarter and pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $4.4 million related to the previously announced consolidation of 150 stores in the second quarter.
While management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating the Company, 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.
