Minneapolis, Aug. 4, 2009 - Caribou Coffee Company, Inc., the second largest company-owned gourmet coffeehouse operator in the United States based on the number of coffeehouses, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2009 (thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2009).
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2009 INCLUDE:
* Earnings per share of $0.06 for the second quarter ended June 28,
2009
* 28% increase in commercial sales for the quarter
* Opened eight franchise units during the quarter
Speaking on behalf of the Company, Michael Tattersfield, the Company's President and CEO commented, "We are pleased with the progress we are making as we continue along our strategic path of moving from a premium coffeehouse operator to a premium branded coffee company. We believe our financial results for the second quarter, which is our third quarter of positive earnings, reflect the traction we are gaining in our short-term initiatives. Long-term, we will seek to grow shareholder value by growing each of our three business channels, while continuing to enhance the Caribou experience through uncompromising execution and new and exciting product innovation."
SECOND QUARTER 2009 RESULTS
Total net sales decreased $0.2 million, or 0.4%, to $63.0 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2009, from $63.2 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2008.
* Coffeehouse sales were $55.3 million in the second quarter 2009, as
compared with $57.3 million in the second quarter of 2008, a
decrease of 3.4%. The decrease primarily reflects a 3.3% decline
in comparable coffeehouse sales and 62 fewer operating coffeehouse
weeks in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period
in fiscal 2008.
* Commercial sales were $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 as
compared with $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, an
increase of 28%. The increase was due to higher sales to existing
and new customers as the Company now sells through over 4,800 doors.
* Franchise sales were $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2009, as
compared with $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2008, an
increase of 34%. The increase was due to higher sales from
franchise fees, royalties and product sales from 33 franchise
coffeehouses opened during the last 12 months, including eight
coffeehouse openings during the second quarter of 2009.
Cost of sales and related occupancy costs in the second quarter of 2009 were $27.3 million, which is a 1.2% increase over the second quarter of 2008. Although total revenue declined year-over-year, this increase in cost of sales is due to an overall mix change with a higher percentage of sales coming from our commercial and franchise segments.
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2009 were $23.9 million compared to $25.8 million in the same period of the prior year. This decrease was the result of improved operating performance within the retail segment as well as having fewer coffeehouse operating weeks. As a percentage of revenue, operating costs were 37.9%, down from 40.9% in the same period of the prior year.
General and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million, or 2.6%, to $6.8 million during the second quarter of 2009, from $6.6 million during the second quarter of 2008 as the Company reinvests in initiatives to drive future growth.
EBITDA was $5.4 million during the second quarter of 2009, compared to EBITDA of $2.9 million during the same period in 2008. The year-over-year EBITDA increase was primarily due to improved performance within our retail coffeehouses and continued growth in the commercial and franchise segments. (EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. See EBITDA reconciliation at the end of this release).
Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.0 million, or 23.1%, to $3.6 million during the second quarter of 2009, from $4.6 million during the same period in the prior year. The lower depreciation and amortization in the quarter was due to the Company's lower depreciable asset based from impairments taken in 2008 and reduced capital spending in the current year.
The Company's net income for the second quarter of 2009 was $1.2 million or $0.06 per share compared to a net loss of $2.4 million or ($0.13) per share for the same period in 2008.

the net sales of coffeehouses during a fiscal period to the net
sales from the same coffeehouses for the equivalent period in the
prior year. A coffeehouse is included in this calculation
beginning in its thirteenth full fiscal month of operations. A
closed coffeehouse is included in the calculation for each full
month that the coffeehouse was open in both fiscal periods.

(1) Includes depreciation and amortization associated with the
headquarters and roasting facility that are categorized as
general and administrative expenses and cost of sales and related
occupancy costs on the statement of operations.
EBITDA is equal to net income (loss) excluding: (a) interest expense; (b) interest income; (c) depreciation and amortization; and (d) income taxes.
Management believes EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating the Company's operating performance for the following reason:
* Coffeehouse leases are generally short-term (5-10 years) and
Caribou must depreciate all of the cost associated with those
leases on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term
excluding renewal options (unless such renewal periods are
reasonably assured at the inception of the lease). The Company
opened a net 211 company-operated coffeehouses from the beginning
of fiscal 2003 through the end of the second thirteen weeks of
fiscal 2009. As a result, management believes depreciation expense
is disproportionately large when compared to the sales from a
significant percentage of the coffeehouses that are in their
initial years of operations. Also, many of the assets being
depreciated have actual useful lives that exceed the initial lease
term excluding renewal options. Consequently, management believes
that adjusting for depreciation and amortization is useful for
evaluating the operating performance of the coffeehouses.
Management uses EBITDA:
* As a measurement of operating performance because it assists
management in comparing its operating performance on a consistent
basis as it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from
coffeehouse operations;
* For planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal
annual operating budget;
* To establish targets for certain management compensation matters;
and
* To evaluate the Company's capacity to incur and service debt, fund
capital expenditures and expand the business.
