Barnes & Noble Education Reports Fiscal 2016 Third Quarter Financial Results
Sales Increased 1.0% Year to Date
Sales Decreased 0.6% for the Third Quarter as Community College Enrollments Decline
Strategic Transactions Completed to Significantly Reduce Digital Spend While Expanding Digital Services
March 8, 2016, Basking Ridge, NJ-Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. (NYSE: BNED), one of the largest contract operators of bookstores on college and university campuses across the United States and a leading provider of digital education services, today reported sales and earnings for the third quarter and year to date periods for fiscal 2016.
Fiscal year to date sales of $1,513.3 million increased $14.3 million, or 1.0%, as compared to the prior year period.
Third quarter sales of $518.4 million decreased $3.2 million, or 0.6%, as compared to the prior year period. The Company reported a net loss of $(3.6) million, including a non-cash impairment loss of $8.5 million, net of tax. Excluding the impairment loss, the Company reported non-GAAP net income of $4.9 million during the 13 weeks ended January 30, 2016 which is $3.8 million lower than the prior year period.
Comparable store sales decreased 4.1% for the quarter. Consistent with the past, the Spring Rush period extended beyond the quarter due to later school openings, as well as to the continued pattern of students
buying course materials later in the semester. Factoring in the three additional weeks of February, comparable store sales decreased 2.9%, which is a slight improvement from similar comparable results for the second quarter.
“Course material sales for the Spring Rush period were adversely impacted by decreased enrollments in two year community colleges,” said Max J. Roberts, Chief Executive Officer of Barnes & Noble Education, Inc.
Comparable store sales excluding two year community colleges decreased by 2.2% for the quarter and 0.9% year to date; and factoring in the three additional Spring Rush weeks decreased 1.2% for the quarter and 0.5% year to date.
In an effort to reduce and manage digital expenditures, while at the same time maintaining high quality digital products, the Company has taken the following actions: the Company is closing its Yuzu® offices and eliminating staffing in California and Washington, resulting in non-cash impairment and restructuring charges; the Company worked with VitalSource, a part of the Ingram Content Group; and the Company acquired LoudCloud Systems, Inc.
The Company has established a long-term relationship with VitalSource, a global leader in building, enhancing and delivering digital content. This collaboration will allow the Company to significantly lower its future digital expenses. “Our relationship with VitalSource will provide for a seamless transition with a Yuzu branded product, ensuring students continue to have an excellent digital reading experience and access to a broad digital catalog,” said Mr. Roberts.
The acquisition of LoudCloud, a sophisticated digital platform and analytics provider with a proven product and existing clients in the higher education, for-profit and K-12 markets, positions the Company to be able to provide a robust digital learning platform to drive improved outcomes for students and to better serve its clients. LoudCloud’s current product capabilities include a competency based courseware platform, a learning analytics platform and services, an eReading product, and a learning management system (LMS). Its software captures and analyzes key behavioral and performance metrics from students, allowing educators to monitor and improve student success. The acquisition of LoudCloud closed on March 4, 2016 for a purchase price of $17.9 million and was financed completely with cash from operations.
“These actions give us the capabilities to offer digital products that our clients are demanding, improve our competitive position, and positively impact revenue and profitability,” said Mr. Roberts. “We expect these transactions to reduce our digital spend from $26 million in fiscal 2016 to approximately $13 million in fiscal 2017, resulting in $13 million of forecasted expense reduction.”
During the third quarter ended January 30, 2016, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss totaling $12.0 million ($8.5 million, net of the tax benefit), related to all of the capitalized content costs for the Yuzu eTextbook platform, and also an impairment of its investment in Flashnotes.
The Company expects to incur restructuring charges for severance, retention, and lease terminations of $7-$8 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2016 and $1-$2 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2017. It is expected that approximately $4.0 million of these fourth quarter charges will be non-cash.
Third Quarter and Nine Month 2016 Results
Results for the 13 and 39 weeks of fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 are as follows:

(1) Financials for fiscal 2015 have been presented on a carve-out basis. |
| | | | | | | |
(2) These non-GAAP financial measures have been reconciled in the attached schedules to the most directly comparable GAAP measure as required under SEC rules regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures. During the 13 and 39 weeks ended January 30, 2016, we recorded a non-cash impairment loss totaling $12.0 million ($8.5 million net of the tax benefit), related to all of the capitalized content costs for the Yuzu® eTextbook platform, and also an impairment of its investment in Flashnotes. |
The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the impairment charge of $12.0 million, was $22.6 million for the quarter, as compared to $26.9 million in the prior year period, due primarily to reduced earnings from lower comparable store sales partially offset by positive earnings from net new stores.
Third quarter net loss was $(3.6) million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The current year’s fiscal quarter has 48.1 million diluted shares outstanding, while the prior year period had 39.0 million shares outstanding. Excluding the impairment loss of $8.5 million, net of tax benefit, the Company reported non-GAAP net income of $4.9 million during the quarter, compared with net income of $8.7 million in the prior year period.
The current period reflects the dilution resulting from the issuance of additional shares of Barnes & Noble, Inc. common stock in connection with the previously disclosed Series J preferred shares by Barnes & Noble, Inc. in July 2015, prior to the legal separation from Barnes & Noble, Inc., partially offset by the share repurchase program announced in December 2015 of 906,732 shares in the quarter for $8.7 million.
Outlook
For fiscal year 2016, the Company expects its comparable store sales to be approximately 2.0% lower than the prior year which is in the outlook range previously provided. Also, the Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $50 million.
Conference Call
A conference call with Barnes & Noble Education, Inc.’s senior management will be webcast at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, March 8, 2016 and can be accessed at Barnes & Noble Education, Inc.’s corporate website at www.bned.com.
Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. expects to report fiscal 2016 fourth quarter results on or about June 28, 2016.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
On February 26, 2015, Barnes & Noble, Inc. (“Barnes & Noble”) announced plans for the complete legal and structural separation of Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. (the “Company”) from Barnes & Noble (the “Spin-Off”). Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Barnes & Noble and the Company, Barnes & Noble planned to distribute all of its equity interest in us, consisting of all of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, to Barnes & Noble’s stockholders on a pro rata basis. Following the Spin-Off, Barnes & Noble would not own any equity interest in us, and we would operate independently from Barnes & Noble.
On July 14, 2015, Barnes & Noble approved the final distribution ratio and declared a pro rata dividend of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), to Barnes & Noble’s existing stockholders. The pro rata dividend was made on August 2, 2015 to the Barnes & Noble stockholders of record (as of July 27, 2015). Each Barnes & Noble stockholder of record received a distribution of 0.632 shares of our Common Stock for each share of Barnes & Noble common stock held on the record date.
On August 2, 2015, we completed the legal separation from Barnes & Noble, at which time we began to operate as an independent publicly-traded company. Our Common Stock began to trade on a “when-issued” basis on the NYSE under the symbol “BNED WI” beginning on July 23, 2015. On August 3, 2015, when-issued trading of our Common Stock ended, our Common Stock began “regular-way” trading under the symbol “BNED.”
The results of operations for the 39 weeks ended January 31, 2015 and the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2015 reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a stand-alone basis since we were still part of Barnes & Noble, Inc. until the consummation of the Spin-Off on August 2, 2015, and the results of operations for the 26 weeks ended January 30, 2016 reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis as we became a separate consolidated entity.

| | | | | | | |
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), in the Press Release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, the Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA (defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for additional items subtracted from or added to net income). |
| | | | | | | |
The Company’s management reviews this non-GAAP measure internally to evaluate the Company’s performance and manage its operations. The Company believes that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA results provides investors useful and important information regarding the Company’s operating results. The non-GAAP measure included in the Press Release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 has been reconciled to the comparable GAAP measure as required under Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures. The Company urges investors to carefully review the GAAP financial information included as part of the Company’s Prospectus dated July15, 2015 and filed with the SEC on that date, which includes consolidated financial statements for each of the three years for the period ended May 2, 2015 (fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013), the quarterly earnings release for the period ended August 1, 2015 included as part of the Company's Form 8-K dated September 9, 2015 and filed with the SEC on that date, the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended August 1, 2015 filed with the SEC on September 10, 2015, and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on December 9, 2015.
