FORT WORTH, Texas , February 26, 2013 (press release) – RadioShack Corporation (NYSE: RSH) reports results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012.  All comparisons are versus the same comparable period of the prior fiscal year unless otherwise noted.

FOURTH QUARTER SUMMARY

  • Total net sales and operating revenue were $1.3 billion, compared to $1.4 billion last year.  Comparable store sales were down 7% driven by a decline in the mobility and consumer electronics platforms.
  • Consolidated gross profit was $447 million, or 34% of net sales, compared with $482 million last year, or 35% of net sales. 
  • Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $409 million, or 32% of net sales, compared with $431 million last year, or 31% of net sales.  
  • Operating income was $17 million compared to $31 million last year.
  • Income tax expense was $66 million including a $67 million one-time non-cash charge which increased the valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets. 
  • Net loss of $63 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, including the non-cash valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, compared to net income of $12 million last year. The company generated income before tax of $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.
  • The company continues to have a strong balance sheet and total liquidity of $926 million at year end.
  • On February 8, the company announced the appointment of Joseph C. Magnacca as its new CEO.

Dorvin D. Lively, executive vice president, chief financial officer and chief administrative officer of RadioShack Corp., said, "Overall, the fourth quarter continued to be impacted by challenges similar to those of the first three quarters of the year. The most significant contributing factor to the decline in our performance was the postpaid wireless business which saw a decline in transaction volume across the year, combined with a lower margin rate.  However, I am pleased with the progress we have made in improving other aspects of our business. The gross margin rate for all of our business, excluding mobility, was flat with 2011 with significant improvement in our consumer electronics business.  We have improved and strengthened our high-margin signature platform, which generated sales growth in each quarter of 2012. Additionally, our no-contract phone and tablet businesses generated sales and gross profit improvement."

FULL YEAR SUMMARY

  • Total net sales and operating revenue were $4.3 billion, compared to $4.4 billion last year.  Comparable store sales were down 3.5%.
  • Consolidated gross profit was $1.6 billion, or 37% of net sales, compared with $1.8 billion last year, or 41% of net sales.  Gross profit dollar performance was negatively impacted by both a decline in postpaid units sold versus last year and a decrease in the gross margin rate due to a higher mix of smart phones.
  • Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $1.5 billion, or 36% of net sales, compared with $1.6 billion last year, or 36% of net sales. Excluding one-time charges in 2011 relating to a contract termination and plant closure and from 2012 relating to severance costs, SG&A declined $24 million versus last year. 
  • Operating loss was $61 million compared to operating income of $155 million last year.
  • Income tax expense was $25 million including a $69 million one-time non-cash valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets. 
  • Net loss of $139 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, including the non-cash valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, compared to net income of $72 million last year.

Mr. Lively added, "Importantly, we have taken a number of significant steps to better position the company for the transformation of our business.  We increased our liquidity by issuing $175 million of new financing which will refinance nearly half of the 2013 debt maturity, and we repurchased a significant portion of this maturity at a discount in 2012. We are terminating our agreement to operate the Target Mobile locations, a business that generated losses since inception. We reduced our overall SG&A expenses and implemented a reduction in force during the third quarter. Our financial position and balance sheet are strong, and we had liquidity of $926 million at year end.

"Looking ahead, we will be focused on stabilizing the profitability of our business as well as our growth initiatives.  Our new CEO, Joe Magnacca, joined RadioShack on February 11.  With the addition of Joe and other new senior executives, we now have a strong management team in place focused on rebuilding the business and leading the company into the future." 

CASH, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL SPENDING

The company ended the year with total liquidity of $926 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $536 million and $391 million of availability under the $450 million asset-based revolving credit facility that expires in January 2016.

The company's total debt was $778 million on December 31, 2012.  The Convertible Notes due August 1, 2013 had a remaining aggregate principal amount of $287 million on December 31, 2012. The balance of the company's debt comes due in 2016 or later.

Capital expenditures totaled $68 million for the full year compared to $82 million last year.  The company expects capital expenditures will be between $70 million to $90 million in 2013.

TARGET MOBILE SEGMENT

The company announced in January 2013 that it will exit the Target Mobile business no later than April 8, 2013. This business has generated losses since inception. RadioShack began operating the postpaid wireless mobility kiosk in Target retail locations beginning in 2009 and operated 1,522 locations on December 31, 2012.
