PITTSBURGH, July 22, 2019 // GLOBE NEWSWIRE // - GNC Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: GNC) (the “Company”) reported consolidated revenue of $534.0 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared with consolidated revenue of $617.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in revenue was primarily a result of the transfer of the Nutra manufacturing and China businesses to the newly formed joint ventures, negative same store sales and the closure of company-owned stores under our store portfolio optimization strategy.

For the second quarter of 2019, the Company reported net income of $16.1 million compared with net income of $13.3 million in the prior year quarter.

Excluding the expenses outlined in the table below, adjusted net income was $18.3 million1 in the current quarter, compared with adjusted net income of $16.9 million1 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.131 in the current quarter compared with $0.201 in the prior year quarter. Diluted EPS and Adjusted diluted EPS in the current quarter reflects the impact of convertible preferred stock on an if-converted basis.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined and reconciled to net income in the table below, was $61.6 million2, or 11.5% of revenue, in the current quarter compared with $63.5 million2, or 10.3% of revenue, in the prior year quarter.

“During the second quarter of 2019, although we experienced some softness in our sales, we delivered meaningful growth in our operating income margins consistent with our long-term strategy,” said Ken Martindale, GNC’s Chairman and CEO. “The quarter represented solid progress towards our store optimization and cost savings initiatives.

Segment Operating Performance

U.S. & Canada

Revenues in the U.S. and Canada segment decreased $41.2 million, or 8.0%, to $476.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with $517.3 million in the prior year quarter. E-commerce sales comprised 8.1% of U.S. and Canada revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with 8.3% in the prior year quarter.

The decrease in revenue compared with the prior year quarter was primarily due to negative same store sales of 4.6%, which resulted in a revenue decrease of $17.5 million, and the closure of company-owned stores under our store portfolio optimization strategy, which contributed a $14.9 million decrease in revenue. In domestic franchise locations, same store sales for the second quarter of 2019 decreased 1.8% over the prior year quarter.

Operating income increased $3.6 million to $49.2 million, or 10.3% of segment revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with $45.6 million, or 8.8% of segment revenue, for the same period in 2018. The increase in operating income was primarily due to lower occupancy, salaries and benefits, marketing, and distribution and transportation costs as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in operating income percentage was driven by lower occupancy expense partially offset by expense deleverage in salaries and benefits associated with a decrease in company-owned same store sales.

International

Revenues in the International segment decreased $9.2 million, or 18.9%, to $39.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with $48.6 million in the prior year quarter mostly due to the transfer of the China business to the newly formed joint venture, effective February 13, 2019. The decline was partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in sales to our international franchisees.

Operating income decreased $1.4 million to $14.3 million, or 36.2% of segment revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with $15.7 million, or 32.3% of segment revenue, for the same period in 2018. The increase in operating income percentage was primarily a result of the transfer of the China business to the newly formed joint venture.

Manufacturing / Wholesale

Revenues in the Manufacturing / Wholesale segment, excluding intersegment sales, decreased $33.5 million, or 64.4%, to $18.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with $52.0 million in the prior year quarter primarily due to the transfer of the Nutra manufacturing business to the newly formed manufacturing joint venture with International Vitamin Corporation, effective March 1, 2019.

Operating income decreased $3.8 million to $12.1 million, or 65.5% of segment revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with $15.9 million, or 13.6% of segment revenue, in the prior year quarter. Revenue decreased as a result of the transfer of the Nutra manufacturing business to the newly formed joined venture. However, operating income margins were positively impacted as the Manufacturing / Wholesale segment recognized profit margin that resulted from maintaining consistent pricing to what was charged to our other operating segments prior to the inception of the manufacturing joint venture, and recorded profit on intersegment sales associated with inventory produced prior to the transfer of the Nutra manufacturing business to the joint venture.

Year-to-Date Performance

For the first six months of 2019, the Company reported consolidated revenue of $1,098.8 million, a decrease of $126.7 million compared with consolidated revenue of $1,225.5 million for the first six months of 2018. The decrease in revenue during the first six months of 2019 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the transfer of the Nutra manufacturing and China e-commerce businesses to the newly formed joint ventures, which resulted in an approximate $61 million decrease in revenue, the closure of company-owned stores under our store portfolio optimization strategy, which resulted in an approximate $29 million decrease in revenue, and negative same store sales of 3.1%.

For the first six months of 2019, the Company reported net income of $0.8 million and diluted loss per share of $0.09, which included the reduction to net income for the cumulative undeclared dividends of $8.7 million, compared with net income of $19.5 million and diluted EPS of $0.23 for the first six months of 2018. Excluding the expenses outlined in the reconciliation table below, adjusted EPS was $0.28 and $0.44 in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Adjusted Diluted EPS in the current year reflects the impact of the convertible preferred stock on an if-converted basis

Cash Flow and Liquidity Metrics

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company generated net cash from operating activities of $65.3 million compared with $49.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was driven by favorable working capital changes primarily due to an increase in accounts payable as a result of the Company's cash management efforts as well as the establishment of the manufacturing joint venture.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company generated $58.9 million3 in free cash flow compared with $40.8 million3 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. At June 30, 2019, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $95.9 million and debt was $854.7 million. No borrowings were outstanding on the Company's Revolving Credit Facility at the end of the second quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP Measures

Management has included non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, segment operating income, segment operating income as a percentage of segment revenue, adjusted as reflected in this release, free cash flow and comparable same store sales, because it believes they represent an effective supplemental means by which to measure the Company’s operating performance.

Management believes that these measures are useful to investors as they enable the Company and its investors to evaluate and compare the Company’s results from operations in a more meaningful and consistent manner by excluding specific items which are not reflective of ongoing operating results and that can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments.

However, these measures are not measurements of the Company’s performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to earnings per share, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to GAAP cash flow from operating activities, or as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity. For more information, see the attached reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures.

(1) The Company applies the if-converted method to calculate dilution impact of the convertible senior notes and the convertible preferred stock. For diluted EPS, the underlying shares of the convertible preferred stock and the convertible senior notes are anti-dilutive.  Therefore, diluted EPS includes the reduction to net income for the cumulative undeclared dividends of $8.7 million. For Adjusted diluted EPS, the underlying shares of the convertible preferred stock are dilutive and the convertible senior notes are anti-dilutive. As a result of the differences in the calculation for diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS, amounts do not sum.

(2) The three and six months ended June 30, 2019 includes retention of $0.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively and immaterial refranchising gains. The three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes retention of $2.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively, $0.6 million in joint venture start-up costs incurred in connection with the Harbin transaction and  immaterial refranchising gains. The retention expense recognized in 2019 and 2018 relates to an incentive program to retain senior executives and certain other key personnel who are critical to the execution and success of the Company's strategy.  The total amount awarded was approximately $10 million, of which approximately $1 million has been forfeited, which vests in four installments of 25% each on November 2018, February 2019, August 2019 and February 2020.

(3)  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company generally utilizes a blended federal rate plus a net state rate that excludes the impact of certain state NOL's, state credits and valuation allowance to calculate the impact of adjusted items.  In connection with the transfer of the Nutra manufacturing net assets to the newly formed manufacturing joint venture, the Company recorded a gain for tax purposes which was treated as ordinary and impacts the Company’s annual effective tax rate.  Therefore, for adjusted diluted EPS, the tax effect for the impact of the loss on net asset exchange for equity method investments related to the manufacturing joint venture transaction was adjusted consistent with the annual treatment for tax purposes.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,  the Company utilized an annual effective tax rate, adjusted to exclude discrete items and the tax impact of loss on debt financing.
