|
|
Fourth quarter net income (exclusive of impairment charge) increases to $2.0 million |
| |
| |
|
|
Fiscal year cash flow from operations increases by $5.7 million to $8.4 million |
| |
| |
|
|
$22.9 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge leads to fiscal year net loss of $17.1
million |
Gonzales, Louisiana Crown Crafts, Inc. (the Company) (NASDAQ-CM: CRWS) today reported a net
loss (after recording a substantial goodwill impairment charge) for the fourth quarter and full
fiscal year 2009, which ended March 29, 2009.
Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal Year 2009
The Companys net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $10.6 million, or $1.15 per diluted
share, on net sales of $24.6 million compared to net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 of $1.6
million, or $0.16 per diluted share, on net sales of $24.0 million. The net loss for the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2009 included a non-cash pre-tax charge of $13.9 million for an impairment to
goodwill. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter, the Company
would have reported net income of $2.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter
of fiscal year 2009.
The Companys net loss for fiscal 2009 was $17.1 million, or $1.83 per diluted share, on net sales
of $87.4 million compared to net income for fiscal 2008 of $4.4 million, or $0.43 per diluted
share, on net sales of $74.9 million. The net loss for fiscal 2009 included a non-cash pre-tax
charge of $22.9 million for an impairment to goodwill. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge
the Company would have reported net income of $4.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in fiscal
2009.
The Company performed an impairment test for goodwill as a result of the decline in the market
capitalization of the Company. The impairment test resulted in a determination that the goodwill
of the reporting units of the Company have no implied value. Accordingly, the Company recorded an
impairment charge in fiscal year 2009 of $22.9 million, which represented the aggregate carrying
value of the goodwill of its reporting units. This impairment charge did not result in any cash
expenditures, did not have an adverse effect on the Companys compliance with covenants under the
Companys financing agreement and did not affect the Companys cash position, cash flows from
operating activities or availability under its revolving line of credit.
The Company has increased its cash position from $7.9 million at March 30, 2008 to $15.2 million at
March 29, 2009 due to managements decision to build up its cash reserves instead of paying down
its revolving line of credit. This decision was made to preserve the Companys ability to meet its
working capital needs in the event that the Companys primary lender should suffer an adverse
liquidity event that would jeopardize the Companys ability to draw on its revolving line of
credit.
We are very pleased with our fourth quarter 2009 earnings and the benefits we have gained from the
acquisition of the baby products line of Springs Global in November 2007, which we are proud to say
has proven to be a great strategic addition, commented E. Randall Chestnut, Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. We remain convinced that despite the difficult
economic environment, our business model and our strong cash flow will keep us in an excellent
competitive position to manage through this economic downturn and subsequently benefit from the
economys recovery. During this time, we have continued to concentrate our efforts on implementing
our strategic plan and maintaining our focus on controlling costs. As a result, the Companys
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for fiscal 2009 was $10.0
million, a $1.0 million improvement over fiscal 2008, Mr. Chestnut continued.
Annual Meeting of Stockholders
The Company also announced that its Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on Tuesday, August
11, 2009.

In addition to the Companys disclosure of its financial position and results under U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company has also disclosed certain measures of its
performance which are not determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include
EBITDA and the Companys discussion of diluted earnings per share excluding the goodwill impairment
charge. The Company uses EBITDA as an internal measure to monitor the Companys operating and cash
flow performance and to evaluate the performance of its businesses. The Company believes that the
presentation of EBITDA provides useful information to investors and is an important indicator of
the Companys ability to generate cash sufficient to reduce debt, make strategic investments, meet
capital expenditures and working capital requirements and otherwise meet its obligations as they
become due. EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items
excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing the Companys
financial performance. EBITDA is provided as supplemental information and should be considered in
addition to, and not as a substitute for, such GAAP measures as net income (loss), cash flow
provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities, and other measures of
financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is not a
measure determined in accordance with GAAP, companies are free to calculate it in varying ways.
Therefore, EBITDA, as presented by the Company, will not necessarily be comparable to similarly
titled measures of other companies.
