Daily News Alerts

For the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2008, net revenue increased 12.5% to $68.5 million from $60.9 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2007. For the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2008, net revenue increased 15.2% to $205.7 million from $178.5 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2007.

Net income for the quarter was $2.0 million or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $1.8 million or $0.13 per diluted share last year. Year-to-date, net income was $7.1 million or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to $5.1 million or $0.36 per diluted share last year.

"We are on track to deliver within our earnings per share guidance for the year and well positioned for 20 to 25% earnings per share growth next year," said Patrick O'Dea, president and chief executive officer of Peet's Coffee & Tea. "While our grocery growth rate in the quarter was below our year-to-date trend, this was largely due to a shift in timing of new distribution and promotion activity from September into October. Overall, I'm encouraged by the strength of our business despite the economic environment. It's a tribute to the Peet's brand and people."

Financial and Operating Summary

Retail net revenue increased 11% to $45.9 million for the quarter from $41.5 million for the corresponding quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributable to new retail stores opened in the last 12 months and growth in existing stores. The Company opened three new retail locations during the quarter.

Specialty net revenue increased 16% to $22.6 million for the quarter from $19.4 million for the corresponding quarter last year. Within the specialty business, grocery grew 15%, foodservice and office sales were up 34%, and the home delivery business declined 2.5% compared to the same period last year.

Cost of sales and related occupancy costs decreased to 47.1% of total net revenue for the quarter compared to 47.9% for the corresponding quarter last year. The decrease from last year was due to procurement savings, increased prices in retail and grocery, and leverage of costs related to the roasting facility that opened last year, partially offset by higher green coffee costs.

Operating expenses as a percent of net revenue increased to 36.1% of total net revenue for the quarter compared to 35.5% for the corresponding quarter last year. The increase was due primarily to higher costs associated with expanding the grocery business.

General and administrative expenses increased to $5.2 million for the quarter from $4.9 million for the corresponding quarter last year primarily due to additional headcount and other investments to support the Company's growth.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $3.2 million for the quarter from $2.6 million for the corresponding quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to the opening of 23 new retail stores in the last 12 months.

The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents plus marketable securities of $14.8 million.

    Fiscal 2009 Outlook
    Looking ahead, Peet's provided the following fiscal 2009 guidance:

    -- Total net revenue is expected to grow 12 to 15%,
    -- Diluted earnings per share is expected to grow 20 to 25% and be in the
       $0.94 to $1.00 range, and
    -- The Company is planning to open about 10 new retail locations and 30 to
       40 new licensed locations.
