OAKVILLE, ON, May 7 // PRNewswire-FirstCall // - Tim Hortons Inc. (NYSE: THI, TSX: THI) today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 29, 2009.
"Sales growth in both our Canadian and U.S. markets was quite strong in the first quarter considering the challenging economic circumstances that continued to persist. Sales accelerated through the quarter after a slow start in January, supported by active menu and marketing programs and previous pricing in the system. We also continued to execute our growth agenda, opening new restaurants in targeted U.S. markets and throughout Canada," said Don Schroeder, president and CEO.
Consolidated Results
First quarter systemwide sales(3) grew 6.6% on a constant currency basis. Total revenues were $507.2 million in the first quarter, up 10.2% compared to $460.3 million in the same period of 2008. Systemwide sales growth drove higher rents, royalties and distribution revenues. Total revenues also benefited from a positive impact of approximately 1.8% from foreign exchange translation. These factors were partially offset by lower revenues from Company-operated and FIN 46R restaurants.
Sales, consisting primarily of warehouse sales, increased 10.8% in the first quarter compared to last year. Higher sales reflect new products managed through the supply chain including expansion in the grocery store channel, higher prices on coffee and other commodities, as a result of higher underlying costs, and systemwide sales growth. Significant changes in foreign exchange rates also contributed to the growth. Rents and royalties rose 8.3% in the first quarter, consistent with systemwide sales growth. Franchise fees increased 13.9% year-over-year, due to higher revenue from restaurant resales and replacements, a higher number of renovations and foreign exchange.
Same-store sales increased 3.4% in Canada and 3.2% in the U.S., and progressively strengthened during the quarter. Same-store sales were driven by active menu and marketing initiatives that included combo product offerings focused on both the breakfast and snacking day parts, as well as our popular annual Roll Up the Rim to Win(R) contest. This year's contest included prizes such as Toyota Venzas(R), $10,000 cash, Toshiba(R) Laptops, TimCards(R) and millions of food prizes. Previous pricing in the system also contributed to same-store sales growth, as did the timing of Easter compared to last year. In the second quarter, the benefit of previous pricing in the system is expected to be less than 1% and the timing benefit of the shift in Easter will reverse.
During the quarter, we continued to offer combo programs in Canada and the U.S. Several combo initiatives focused on the breakfast day part, including breakfast sandwiches with hash browns. In the U.S., combo programs also included a sausage and a biscuit at an attractive price point. Cherry Chocolate Bloom donuts, Trail Mix cookies and Whole Grain Blueberry muffins were promoted during the quarter. In the snacking day part, we bundled coffee and tea with muffin or cookie combinations at an attractive price point. In March, we introduced Wrap Snackers with BBQ and Ranch flavors in both Canada and the U.S., subsequently supported by a buy-one get-one free promotion in Canada and a free sample promotion in the U.S.
Foreign exchange negatively impacted individual cost structure line items by more than 2% on average in the first quarter, more than offsetting the positive impact of foreign exchange on revenues.
Cost of sales in the first quarter were up 10.2%. Costs associated with new products managed through the supply chain, product mix and cost changes, including increases in underlying commodity costs, and a higher number of system restaurants open contributed to higher warehouse costs, as did higher average same-store sales and foreign exchange. Operating expenses grew 14.2% in the first quarter. The largest components of the operating expense increase were the higher number of locations and related rent and property expenses. Higher depreciation, project and related support costs also contributed to the increase, as did foreign exchange. Franchise fee costs rose 8.2%, attributable to higher costs from resales and replacements, a higher number of renovations and replacements, and foreign exchange changes. Lower support costs and expenses partially offset these higher costs.
General and administrative costs increased 8.4% compared to the same period last year. The increase incorporates higher professional fees, foreign currency impacts and a timing shift of certain items. Approximately $1.4 million in costs were incurred to support the Company's ongoing initiative to undertake a feasibility assessment relating to the Company's corporate structure (see Corporate Developments for further information).
Equity income increased by 6.7% during the quarter to $7.9 million compared to $7.4 million last year. Equity income was reduced in the first quarter of 2008 as our bakery joint venture had a product supply issue and began commissioning a new pastry line.
Operating income for the first quarter was $104.9 million, an increase of 7.8% from $97.3 million in the same period last year. Operating income benefited from higher revenue growth and improvement of the U.S. segment including benefits associated with the restaurant closures and related asset impairment charge which occurred in late 2008.
Net interest expense was $4.9 million in the first quarter compared to $4.4 million last year. The increase is the result of lower interest income and higher interest expense on additional capital leases offset partially by lower interest costs on external debt.
First quarter net income attributable to Tim Hortons was $66.4 million, increasing 7.5% from $61.8 million last year. Net income growth was offset in part by a higher effective tax rate, which was 33.3% compared to 32.8% in the same period last year.
Diluted earnings per share attributable to Tim Hortons (EPS) were $0.37, up 10.1% compared to $0.33 in the first quarter of 2008. There were 2.4% fewer shares outstanding in the quarter due to the Company's share repurchase program.
Segmented Performance Commentary
Canada
------
Canadian same-store sales in the first quarter increased by 3.4%, of which approximately 2.8% was due to previous pricing in the system. The timing of Easter compared to last year contributed approximately 0.4% to same-store sales growth and will reverse in the second quarter. Sales improved in February and March after experiencing more moderate growth in January due primarily to poor weather. Strong menu promotional programs, including combo programs, contributed to the sales performance in a challenging economic climate, supported by advertising that included the Roll Up the Rim to Win(R) campaign.
Operating income in the Canadian segment was $115.4 million, increasing 8.3% compared to $106.5 million in the first quarter of 2008. A total of 20 restaurants were opened in Canada during the quarter.
United States
-------------
The U.S. segment had strong sales performance with a 3.2% increase in same-store sales, reversing declines the past two quarters. Sales in the U.S. business also progressively strengthened during the quarter. Previous pricing in the system contributed approximately 3.2% to the same-store sales increase, which also benefited by approximately 0.7% from the timing of Easter compared to the same quarter last year, an impact that will reverse in the second quarter. Innovation relating to menu promotional activities, including product combo offerings and bundles with attractive price points, helped drive sales this quarter. By the end of the first quarter, 15 co-branded Tim Hortons - Cold Stone Creamery(R) locations had been opened, including one co-branded Cold Stone Creamery site, experiencing positive consumer trial and sales contributions.
The U.S. segment had an operating loss of $0.6 million in the first quarter, a significant improvement compared to a loss of $2.9 million in the same quarter last year. Approximately $1.4 million of the earnings improvement was related to benefits from the impairment and restaurant closure charge taken in the fourth quarter of 2008. Currency translation raised both U.S. segment revenues and costs by approximately 19% during the quarter compared to the same period in 2008. A total of 8 locations were opened in the U.S. during the quarter.
Internationally, in the Republic of Ireland and the U.K., there are now 299 licensed locations primarily in the convenience store channel under the Tim Hortons brand.
Corporate Developments
Corporate Structure
-------------------
As previously disclosed, the Company commenced a review in the fourth quarter of 2008, with the support of external advisors, to assess various opportunities related to our corporate structure, including potentially converting our parent company from a U.S. to a Canadian corporation. This review is now substantially complete, and Management and the Board have determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders for our U.S. parent corporation to reorganize as a Canadian public company. The timing and completion of the contemplated reorganization is subject to shareholder approval, and also remains subject to the satisfaction of additional transaction conditions, including conditions relating to certain Canadian tax considerations. Although the Company is taking steps to proceed with this potential transaction and resolve the outstanding conditions, there can be no assurance that we will be able to satisfy these conditions within our anticipated timeframes, or at all, for that matter. Additional information about the proposed reorganization will be provided as we proceed.
In addition to significant operational and administrative benefits, it is anticipated that the reorganization, if approved, would create long-term value by bringing our effective tax rates closer to lower Canadian statutory rates. The potential change in jurisdiction of incorporation does not in any way affect the Company's commitment to growing our business in the U.S. or our underlying operations, as previously outlined. We would expect to incur certain charges for discrete items, the majority of which would be non-cash tax charges, and transactional costs in the year of implementation. If the transaction is implemented in 2009, the impact of the charges and transactional costs would result in our 2009 targeted tax rate exceeding the identified range of 32% to 34% and, potentially, could cause our targeted operating income to fall below the targeted range.
The Company intends to maintain dual listings on both the New York Stock Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange following the proposed reorganization.
$200 million Share Repurchase Program
-------------------------------------
During the quarter, the Company spent $16.7 million to purchase approximately 0.6 million shares as part of our share repurchase program. As announced earlier this year, the Company contemplated deferring future share repurchases as part of its 2009 program in the event a decision was made to proceed with a change in the Company's corporate structure. As a result of the Board's decision to approve a transaction to reorganize as a public Canadian company, subject to shareholder approval and additional conditions, the Company has decided to defer further purchases in this year's share repurchase program. Given the decision to defer the program, we do not expect to complete the full authorized amount of the share repurchase program. Following implementation of a new structure, if approved by shareholders and other conditions are satisfied, the Company plans to re-evaluate its share purchase program in the context of its overall capital allocation activities.
Board declares dividend payment of $0.10 per share
--------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share payable on June 16th, 2009 to shareholders of record as of June 2nd, 2009. The Company's current dividend policy is to pay a total of 20%-25% of prior year, normalized annual net earnings in dividends each year, returning value to shareholders based on the Company's earnings growth.
Dividends are paid in Canadian dollars to all shareholders with Canadian resident addresses whose shares are registered with Computershare (the Company's transfer agent). For all other shareholders, including all shareholders who hold their shares indirectly (i.e., through their broker) and regardless of country of residence, the dividend will be converted to U.S. dollars on June 9th, 2009 at the daily noon rate established by the Bank of Canada and paid in U.S. dollars on June 16th, 2009.

(3) Total systemwide sales growth includes restaurant level sales at both
Company and Franchise restaurants. Approximately 99% of our
consolidated system is franchised as at March 29th, 2009. Systemwide
sales growth is determined using a constant exchange rate, where
noted, to exclude the effects of foreign currency translation. U.S.
dollar sales are converted to Canadian dollar amounts using the
average exchange rate of the base year for the period covered. For
the first quarter of 2009, systemwide sales growth was up 6.6%
compared to the first quarter of 2008. Systemwide sales are important
to understanding our business performance as they impact our
franchise royalties and rental income, as well as our distribution
income. Changes in systemwide sales are driven by changes in average
same-store sales and changes in the number of systemwide restaurants.
