BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 2009--
Office Depot, Inc. (NYSE:ODP), a leading global provider of office
products and services, today announced results for the fiscal quarter
ending September 26, 2009.
THIRD QUARTER RESULTS 1
Total Company sales for the third quarter of 2009 decreased 17% to $3
billion. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation on the
International Division, total Company sales were down 15%.
The Company reported a net loss of $413 million in the third quarter of
2009, compared to a net loss of $7 million in the same period of 2008.
The loss per share was $1.51 for the quarter, versus a loss per share of
$0.02 in the third quarter of 2008. Adjusted for charges for deferred
tax asset valuation allowances and the reversal of tax benefits
recognized during the first half of 2009, and Charges related to the
previously announced restructuring actions, the Company reported a loss
of $21 million and a loss per share of $0.08 for the third quarter of
2009, versus a loss of $2 million and loss per share of $0.01 in the
same period one year ago.
Total Company operating expenses, adjusted for Charges, decreased by
$159 million from the third quarter of 2008. EBIT, adjusted for Charges,
was $18 million in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of 20%
compared to $15 million in the prior-year period.
In the third quarter of 2009, the Company’s cash flow from operating
activities was $161 million and free cash flow was $141 million.
“We are pleased with both our operating results and cash flow
performance in the third quarter,” said Mike Newman, Office Depot’s
chief financial officer. “We exceeded our expectations in the quarter as
a result of strong execution across the entire enterprise.”
North American Retail Division
Third quarter 2009 sales in the North American Retail Division were $1.3
billion, down 18% compared to the same period last year, due in part to
having 117 fewer stores open in the third quarter of 2009 versus the
prior year period. Comparable store sales in the 1,144 stores in the
U.S. and Canada that have been open for more than one year decreased 14%
for the third quarter compared to the prior year period. Consistent with
previous periods, the decrease in comparable store sales was driven by
macroeconomic factors as consumers and small business customers
continued to hold back their spending, especially in large ticket
categories, and the Division’s commitment to proactively reduce
unacceptable margin promotions in select categories.
The North American Retail Division had an operating profit of $35
million for the third quarter, compared to $12 million reported in the
same period of the prior year. The operating profit improvement was
driven by a number of factors including higher product margins for the
fifth straight quarter, a comparative benefit from closing
underperforming stores, lower asset impairment charges compared to last
year, and reduced operating expenses. These positive factors were
partially offset by the unfavorable impact the sales volume decline had
on gross margin and operating expenses.
During the third quarter, Office Depot closed one store, opened one and
relocated three stores, bringing the total store count for North America
to 1,158 as of September 26, 2009.
Inventory per store was approximately $669 thousand at the end of the
third quarter of 2009, down about 14% from the prior year. This decrease
was primarily due to improved inventory management and reduced exposure
to large ticket inventory items.
North American Business Solutions Division
Third quarter 2009 sales in the North American Business Solutions
Division were $880 million, down 16% compared to the same period last
year, principally driven by a decrease in the number of customer
transactions versus the prior year.
The North American Business Solutions Division reported an operating
profit of $21 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $39
million for the same period of the prior year. The drivers of the third
quarter operating profit change versus one year ago included the flow
through impact of lower sales levels and the negative impact of product
margins, including a less profitable product mix and cost increases that
were not fully passed on to our customers due to timing issues.
Partially offsetting some of the operating profit decline was the
continued benefit from reduced selling and G&A expenses.
International Division
The International Division reported sales of $861 million in the third
quarter of 2009, a decrease of 16% compared with the same period last
year, while sales in local currency decreased by 9%.
International Division operating profit was $34 million in the third
quarter of 2009 compared to $36 million in the same period of the prior
year. The change in Division operating profit for the third quarter of
2009 resulted as the flow through impact of lower sales levels was
almost completely offset by lower operating expenses. Additionally,
changes in foreign exchange rates, driven by a stronger U.S. dollar,
unfavorably impacted operating profit.
Other Matters
On October 14, 2009, Office Depot shareholders overwhelmingly approved
the conversion, at the option of the holders of our Series A and Series
B Preferred stock (BC Partners), into shares of common stock.
Approximately 70% of the shares eligible to vote were represented at the
meeting and the proposals with respect to conversion passed with more
than 98% of the vote. This approval allows BC Partners to vote all of
their preferred stock with shares of our common stock, on an as
converted basis, on all issues to come before shareholders.
During the third quarter of 2009, Office Depot recorded a non-cash tax
expense to establish a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax
assets totaling $322 million or $1.17 per share because of the
uncertainty of the realizability of these assets. Additionally, the
Company reversed $39 million of tax benefits previously recognized
during the first half of 2009. This reversal of tax benefits recognized
negatively impacted earnings per share by $0.14 in the third quarter, of
which, $0.08 is associated with the Charges recorded during the first
half of 2009. Relevant accounting rules require that the deferred tax
assets be assessed for realizability for each financial reporting date.
The carrying value of those assets must be reduced if future realization
is in doubt. A 36 month cumulative pre-tax income test is one of the
criteria used to determine realizability. Because of the recession and
the resulting impact on the Company’s results, as well as the
significant restructuring activities and charges taken by the Company in
the past year, its cumulative pre-tax results for the past 36 months
became negative for the first time in the third quarter of 2009. As a
result, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against certain
deferred tax assets and the reversal of tax benefits recognized in the
first half of the year. Office Depot’s effective tax rate will be lower
and volatile for some time until the Company is in a position to remove
the valuation allowance in future years.
The Company recognized about $40 million of pre-tax Charges related to
the strategic business review actions announced in the fourth quarter of
2008 and taken in the third quarter of 2009. The Charges related
primarily to lease accruals and severance expenses. During the balance
of 2009, the Company expects to recognize approximately $60 million in
additional Charges as activities are completed and accounting
recognition criteria are met. The Company expects these activities and
Charges to be completed by the end of 2009 and should benefit full year
EBIT and cash flow by approximately $130 million and $85 million,
respectively.
At the end of September 2009, the Company had nothing drawn on its
asset-based loan (ABL) facility and had $694 million of availability.
Office Depot’s borrowing base decreased in the third quarter versus the
second quarter due to lower inventory levels. With $694 million of ABL
availability and $693 million in cash on hand at the end of September,
the Company exited the third quarter of 2009 with almost $1.4 billion in
total available liquidity, the highest level since the third quarter of
2005.
During the third quarter of 2009, Office Depot recorded dividends on its
convertible preferred stock of approximately $15 million. The Company
has the option to pay the dividend in cash, or by increasing the
liquidation preference on the amount of the preferred stock. Since the
Company’s asset-based loan facility does not currently permit paying
cash dividends, the October 1, 2009 dividend was settled by increasing
the liquidation preference. Dividends settled like this are recognized
at fair value, which is currently higher than the amount that would have
been due if settled in cash. This fair value captures the current stock
price of the underlying common stock and the option value of the
preferred shares. Future dividends paid in kind will be measured at fair
value when declared. That value should move directionally with changes
in our common stock price

Form 8-K’s filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December
10, 2008 and March 10, 2009, our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
