Daily News Alerts

In this release, the company:

    --  Reports third quarter diluted earnings per share of $0.19, an increase
        of 27% versus last year
    --  Reports net revenue of $73.9 million, an increase of 8% versus last year
    --  Raises guidance for diluted earnings per share expectations for the full
        year to $1.04 to $1.06, up from the previous range of $0.97 to $1.00

    --  Gives guidance for 2010 of diluted earnings per share of $1.24 to $1.30.

For the 13 weeks ended September 27, 2009, net revenue increased 8% to $73.9 million from $68.5 million for the corresponding period last year.

Net income for the quarter was $2.5 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the corresponding period last year.

"I'm very pleased with our performance," said Patrick O'Dea, CEO and president of Peet's Coffee & Tea. "We are leveraging the significant past investments we've made in our people, direct store delivery (DSD) selling system, the new roasting facility and our store base to produce strong earnings growth. While continuing to grow the Peet's brand, we will add new growth initiatives, such as the current national launch of Godiva flavored coffees, that are consistent with our overall vision to be the leading premium specialty coffee company in all key consumer segments. This strategy should enable us to deliver strong profit growth into the future."

Financial and Operating Summary

Retail net revenue increased 4% to $47.9 million for the 13 weeks ended September 27, 2009 from $45.9 million for the corresponding period last year. The increase was attributed to new retail stores opened in the last 12 months. The company opened three new retail locations in the quarter for a total of seven year to date. The company expects to open one additional store this year.

Specialty net revenue increased 15% to $26.0 million compared to $22.6 million for the corresponding period last year. Within the specialty business, grocery sales grew 24%, foodservice and office was up 13%, and home delivery sales were down 8% compared to the same period last year.

Cost of sales and related occupancy costs decreased as a percentage of net revenue to 46.4%, compared to 47.1% for the corresponding period last year. The decrease from last year was due to lower shipping costs, lower milk costs, effective cost controls in retail stores, and higher prices in retail, partially offset by higher coffee costs.

Operating expenses decreased as a percentage of net revenue to 35.3%, compared to 36.1% for the corresponding period last year. The decrease was primarily due to effective cost management in the retail business and the leveraging of both retail and grocery overhead costs.

General and administrative expenses increased to $5.8 million compared to $5.2 million for the same period last year driven primarily by higher payroll-related costs and higher professional service fees.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $4.0 million compared to $3.2 million for the corresponding period last year. The increase was primarily due to the opening of 14 new retail stores in the last 12 months and the implementation of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system during the quarter.

Fiscal 2009 Full Year Outlook

Looking ahead, Peet's raised its earnings guidance for the year based on current results:

    --  Diluted earnings per share are now expected to be in the $1.04 to $1.06
        range for the 53 weeks ending January 3, 2010.  This is an increase from
        prior guidance of $0.97 to $1.00

    --  Fiscal 2009 net revenue growth is expected to be between 8% and 9% for
        the 53 weeks ending January 3, 2010.

Fiscal 2010 Outlook

Looking ahead, Peet's provided the following fiscal 2010 guidance:

    --  Total net revenue is expected to grow 8% to 12% on a comparable 52 week
        basis

    --  Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the $1.24 to $1.30
        range which would translate to 20% to 25% growth on a comparable 52 week
        basis.
