OFFICEMAX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2006 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

ITASCA, Ill., August 3, 2006 — OfficeMax® Incorporated (NYSE: OMX) today reported results for the second quarter ended July 1, 2006. For the second quarter, the company reported net income of $27.4 million, or $.35 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $21.5 million, or $.28 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2005.

 

Results for the second quarter of 2006 include various items which are not expected to be ongoing, including credits from adjustments to the store closing and additional consideration reserves, partially offset by charges related to our previously announced headquarters consolidation. A full description of these special items and a reconciliation to the company’s reported GAAP financial results are included in this press release. For the second quarter of 2006, net income before special items was $23.0 million, or $.29 per diluted share, compared with a net loss before special items of $10.2 million, or $.14 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2005.

 

“We are pleased with our second quarter operating performance and the resulting increase in our financial outlook for full year 2006,” said Sam Duncan,

 

1



 

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OfficeMax. “In our Contract segment, through a continued focus on profitable sales and cost efficiencies, we achieved significant operating income growth. In our Retail segment, significantly lower inventory clearance activity, reduced shrinkage, and cost controls provided strong operating income improvement.”

 

Contract Segment

 

OfficeMax Contract segment sales increased 0.8% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005 reflecting flat sales growth in our U.S. Contract operations and increased sales from our international operations.

 

Contract segment operating income increased to $44.4 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $23.7 million in the second quarter of 2005. Contract segment gross margin increased to 22.1% in the second quarter of 2006 from 21.9% in the second quarter of 2005, primarily as a result of several margin enhancement initiatives, partially offset by higher delivery costs due to increased energy prices. Contract segment operating income benefited from targeted cost reduction programs, including the impact of our distribution center consolidation and lower promotional and marketing costs, as well as significant improvement in our Canadian operations.

 

Retail Segment

 

OfficeMax Retail segment sales decreased 6.2% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005 due primarily to the 109 strategic store closings completed in the first quarter of 2006. Same-store sales for the second quarter of 2006 decreased approximately 1%.

Retail operating income for the second quarter of 2006 included a $9.0 million pre-tax benefit resulting from an adjustment to the reserve for retail store closures. Excluding this special item, operating income increased to $18.2 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to an operating loss of $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2005. Retail segment gross margin increased to 29.7% in the second quarter of 2006 compared with 25.6% in the second quarter of 2005, due to significantly lower inventory clearance activity, reduced shrinkage, and a more effective promotional strategy. Retail segment operating income in the second quarter of 2006 also benefited from targeted cost reduction programs including reduced store labor expense, offset by higher allocated general and administrative expense as well as store incentive compensation expense.

 

During the second quarter of 2006, OfficeMax opened 9 new retail stores and closed 2 stores, ending the quarter with 874 retail stores compared with 946 stores at the end of the second quarter of 2005.

 

Corporate and Other Segment

 

The OfficeMax Corporate and Other segment includes support staff services and certain other expenses that are not fully allocated to the Retail and Contract segments. Corporate and Other segment results in the second quarter of 2006 included expenses of $10.9 million related to the previously announced headquarters consolidation. Corporate and Other segment results for the second quarter of 2005 included a charge of $9.4 million for one-time severance payments and other expenses, primarily professional service fees, not expected to be ongoing. Excluding these special items, Corporate and Other segment operating expense decreased by $4.5 million to $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $18.6 million in the second quarter of 2005,

due primarily to reduced legacy company costs, partially offset by increased incentive compensation expense.

 

During the second quarter of 2006, OfficeMax recognized a $9.2 million pre-tax benefit from an adjustment to the reserve for the additional consideration agreement that was entered into in connection with the October 2004 sale of our paper, forest products, and timberland assets. This adjustment is included in Other, net Income (non-operating) in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

During the second quarter of 2006, OfficeMax generated $79.0 million in cash from operations and used $23.7 million for capital expenditures. For the first six months of 2006, OfficeMax generated $151.0 million in cash from operations and used $47.0 million for capital expenditures. At June 30, 2006, OfficeMax reported $213.9 million of net debt, or total debt excluding the timber securitization notes less cash and restricted investments.

 

Financial Outlook

 

As reported today, OfficeMax generated operating income as a percent of sales, or operating income margin, of 2.4% in the second quarter of 2006 and 3.5% in the first six months of 2006, excluding special items. OfficeMax is in the initial stages of a turnaround plan but expects to exceed its previously announced goal for 2006 operating income margin of 2.0% to 2.25%, excluding special items. The company now expects 2006 operating income margin to be in the range of 3.0% to 3.5%, excluding special items. This revised outlook reflects the company’s strong performance for the second quarter of 2006 and its expectations for the third and fourth quarters of 2006. Special items, including charges for retail store closures and our headquarters consolidation, are

expected to reduce our operating income margin by approximately 1.5% for the full year 2006.

(c) For the purpose of evaluating our results, net of taxes, we have presented the results before special items using an estimated annual tax rate.

For the purpose of presenting diluted income (loss) per common share before special items, we calculated diluted income (loss) per common share before special items without making any adjustments to the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per common share as reported. If adjustments for potential dilution are included, outstanding shares would have increased by approximately 2.4 million shares for 2005.

(1)  Financial Information

 

The quarterly consolidated financial statements included in this release are unaudited, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In all periods presented, the measurement of net income (loss) involved estimates and accruals.

 

(2)  Reconciliation of non-GAAP Measures to GAAP Measures

 

We evaluate our results of operations both before and after special gains and losses. We believe our presentation of non-GAAP measures and financial measures before special items enhances our investors’ overall understanding of our recurring operational performance. Specifically, we believe presenting results before special items provides useful information to both investors and management by excluding gains, losses and expenses that are not indicative of our core operating activities. In the preceding tables, we reconcile our financial measures before special items to our reported financial results for the second quarter and first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

Financial Outlook

 

We announced on January 24, 2006 our expectations for full year 2006 EBIT margin of 2.0% to 2.25%, excluding special items. In January 2006, we used EBIT margin as a measure of our operating performance. In this release, we have renamed this measure operating income margin, to make it clear that it can be calculated by dividing operating income before special items by sales. The two measures are identical. The January operating income margin expectation assumed special items for retail store closures and our headquarters consolidation. Our revised expectation for full year 2006 operating

 

13



 

income margin is 3.0 to 3.5%, excluding special items. We expect special items for retail store closures and our headquarters consolidation to reduce our operating income margin by approximately 1.5% for full year 2006.

 

(3)  2005 Special Items

 

First Quarter 2005

 

During the first quarter of 2005, we recorded expenses of $11.3 million in our Corporate and Other segment primarily for severance. We also recorded a $9.8 million charge in our Contract segment related to a legal settlement with the Department of Justice. During the first quarter of 2005, we also incurred costs related to the early retirement of debt of $12.2 million and realized a $2.6 million set tlement gain from a previous asset sale.

 

Second Quarter 2005

 

During the second quarter of 2005, we incurred $9.4 million of expenses in the Corporate and Other segment for severance and other expenses, primarily related to professional service fees, which are not expected to be ongoing. During the second quarter ended of 2005, we also incurred costs related to the early retirement of debt of $2.2 million.

 

(4)  2006 Special Items

 

First Quarter 2006

 

During the first quarter of 2006, we closed 109 underperforming domestic retail stores and recorded a charge of $98.6 million in our Retail segment, primarily related to remaining lease obligations. Also during the first quarter of 2006, we incurred $15.7 million of

 

14



 

expenses in our Corporate and Other segment related to our headquarters consolidation, primarily for employee severance and retention.

 

Second Quarter 2006

 

During the second quarter of 2006, we recorded a $9.0 million pre-tax benefit in our Retail segment from an adjustment to the reserve for closed retail stores. During the second quarter of 2006, we incurred $10.9 million of expenses in our Corporate and Other segment related to our headquarters consolidation, primaril y for employee severance and retention. Also during the second quarter of 2006, we recognized a $9.2 million credit from an adjustment to the reserve for the additional consideration agreement that was entered into in connection with the October 2004 sale of our paper, forest products and timberland assets. This adjustment is included in Other, net Income (non-operating) in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

(5)  Discontinued Operations

 

In the first quarter of 2006, we ceased operations at the Company’s wood-polymer building mate rials facility near Elma, Washington. As a result, we recorded expenses of $18.0 million in the first quarter of 2006 primarily related to lease and contract termination costs and other closure and exit costs, including severance. The costs and expenses related to this business in 2006 and 2005 are reflected as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and are included as special items in our Segment Information tables.
