ATLANTA, Sept. 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HD Supply Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:HDS), one of the largest industrial distributors in North America, today reported Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 ended August 3, 2014 of $2.4 billion, an increase of $210 million, or 9 percent, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The second quarter performance represents the seventeenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year average daily sales growth. The company believes its sales performance represents growth of approximately 600 basis points in excess of its market growth estimate.

"I am very pleased with our execution in the second quarter," stated Joe DeAngelo, CEO of HD Supply. "We delivered strong organic sales and earnings growth and remain cautiously optimistic about what seems to be improving end markets."

Gross profit increased $65 million, or 10 percent, to $722 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $657 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Gross profit was 29.5 percent of Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, up approximately 10 basis points from 29.4 percent of Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Gross profit improvement was driven by execution of the company's category management initiatives, partially offset by the competitive environment and mix of products and services.

Operating income increased $34 million, or 22 percent, to $186 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $152 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Operating income as a percentage of Net sales increased approximately 80 basis points during the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The improvement was primarily driven by a reduction in Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales and improvements in gross margins.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $39 million, or 18 percent, to $258 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $219 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Each of our reportable segments reported an increase in Adjusted EBITDA reflecting the continued focus on initiatives execution to drive growth in excess of our estimate of market growth. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net sales increased approximately 70 basis points to 11 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to 10 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Net income increased $120 million to $48 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to a Net loss of $72 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The improvement in Net income is attributable to higher operating income and lower interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. In addition, the second quarter of fiscal 2013 included a loss on extinguishment of debt. Net income per diluted share was $0.24 in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to a Net loss per diluted share of $0.47 in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Adjusted net income increased $65 million to $102 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to an Adjusted net income of $37 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase in Adjusted net income is attributable to sales growth, improving gross margins, and a reduction in interest expense. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.51 in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to an Adjusted net income of per diluted share $0.23 in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a primary measure used by management to evaluate operating performance. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA enhances investors' overall understanding of the financial performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to Net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance. In addition, we present Adjusted net income (loss) to measure our overall profitability as we believe it is an important measure of our performance. Adjusted net income (loss) is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to Net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as Net income (loss) less Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, further adjusted for certain non-cash, non-recurring or unusual items, net of tax. We compensate for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is based on "Consolidated EBITDA," a measure which is defined in our senior credit facilities and used in calculating financial ratios in several material debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) less Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, plus (i) Interest expense and Interest income, net, (ii) Provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude non-cash items and certain other adjustments to Consolidated Net Income permitted in calculating Consolidated EBITDA under our senior credit facilities.

No reconciliation of the forecasted range for Adjusted EBITDA to Net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share to Net income per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 are included in this press release because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our income tax expenses or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
  • Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; and
  • although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
