JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 23, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stein Mart, Inc. (Nasdaq:SMRT) today announced final results for its third quarter and first nine months ended October 29, 2011.
As the result of information technology systems issues discussed in the press release dated December 8, 2011, markdowns were understated in the earnings reported on November 17, 2011. The additional markdowns reduce gross margin and inventory by $2.2 million from what was reported previously for the third quarter. Understated markdowns in the second quarter were not material. The after tax impact of the additional third quarter markdowns increases the net loss previously released by $1.3 million or $0.03 per diluted share. Attached are revised financial statements which reflect the additional markdowns. Full financial statements and disclosures were filed yesterday on Form 10-Q, which was delayed until the final results were confirmed. As a result of the filing of Form 10-Q, the Company will be in full compliance with NASDAQ's listing requirements.
Revised Results
Revised net loss for the quarter was $3.1 million or $0.07 per diluted share. For the first nine months, revised net income was $14.1 million or $0.31 per diluted share.
Sales were not impacted by this revision. Gross profit for the quarter, revised for the higher markdowns, was $59.3 million or 22.9 percent of net sales. For the first nine months of 2011 revised gross profit was $214.5 million or 25.8 percent of net sales.
Revised Results as Adjusted
Results for the first nine months of 2011 include a first quarter pre-tax gain of $2.0 million ($1.2 million after tax or $0.03 per diluted share) to correct an error in the Company's credit card reward liability (recorded in other income). Excluding this gain, revised net income as adjusted was $12.9 million and earnings per diluted share were $0.28.
