ZUMIEZ INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2006
FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Q1-06 Net Sales Increased 43.2% to $47.8 Million;
Comparable Store Sales Increased 19.7% in First Quarter;
Net Income Increased to $1.1 Million in First Quarter;
Q1-06 Diluted EPS Increased $0.04;
Company Raises Fiscal 2006 EPS Guidance to $0.65 to $0.66 on Post-Split Basis
Everett, WA – May 17, 2006 – Zumiez Inc. (NASDAQ: ZUMZ) today reported results for the first quarter ended April 29, 2006.
Total net sales for the first quarter (13 weeks) ended April 29, 2006 increased by 43.2% to $47.8 million from $33.4 million reported in the first quarter (13 weeks) of the prior fiscal year. The company posted net income for the quarter of $1.1 million or $0.04 per diluted share versus a net loss of $40,000 or breakeven per diluted share in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. Comparable store sales increased 19.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 12.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
Rick Brooks, President and Chief Executive Officer of Zumiez Inc., stated, “We are pleased to report our results for the first quarter, which once again exceeded expectations. Our comparable store increase of 19.7% was driven by double digit increases in same store transactions and an increase in average unit retail.”
Mr. Brooks continued, “We opened 5 new stores in the quarter and remain on track to open 42 stores this year. In addition, the consummation of our recently announced agreement to acquire Fast Forward will give us an additional 19 stores in desirable locations for Zumiez. We are thrilled to be
working with the team at Fast Forward and are working together towards making the integration of our companies seamless.”
During the quarter, the Company implemented a two-for-one stock split of its common shares. The stock split was effected on April 19, 2006 and trading began on a post-split basis on Nasdaq on April 20, 2006.
Mr. Brooks concluded, “While we are proud of the strong results that Zumiez has generated, we believe we are still in the early stages of our growth potential. With only 179 stores at quarter end, we are still tremendously under-penetrated, and believe we can eventually operate 800 stores in the U.S. We have a terrific team in place to deliver on our goals as we expand in the marketplace.”
2006 Outlook
The company stated that it is raising guidance for fiscal 2006 to $0.65 to $0.66 from the prior split-adjusted guidance of $0.61 in diluted earnings per share, of which $0.01 to $0.02 is from the acquisition of Fast Forward. Weighted average diluted shares for the fiscal year are expected to be approximately 29,300,000. The company also stated that it believes that its projected earnings growth rate of 30% continues to be achievable for fiscal 2006 and beyond.
In putting forth this outlook, the company reminds investors of the complexity of accurately assessing future growth given the difficulty in predicting fashion trends and consumer preferences, boardsports popularity and participation rates, general economic conditions and the impact of other business variables and risks.
A conference call will be held today to discuss first quarter results and will be web cast at 5:00 p.m. ET on http://ir.zumiez.com.
