GSI Commerce Q1 Revenues Show Slight Increase

GSI Commerce Inc. reported that net revenues for the first quarter ended April 4 increased slightly to $196.5 million from $195.5 million in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP net revenues increased 14% to $106.3 million from $93.3 million Q1 last year.  The loss from operations was $13.0 million compared to a loss from operations of $17.8 million in Q1 last year, and significantly better than the company’s guidance range of a loss of $20 million to $21 million.

 

This improvement over guidance was primarily driven by higher-than-planned non-GAAP income from operations and modestly lower-than-planned depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation.


CFO Michael Conn commented that the company expected the decline in product revenue based on the change in structure of GSIC’s relationship with Dick's Sporting Goods, and that was the largest driver of the year-over-year decline. A softer trend from the professional sports league category and continued weakness in electronics also negatively impacted product revenue results. Service fees increased 25% year-over-year, to $90.3 million from $72.4 million from last year.

GSI Commerce Q1 Revenues Show Slight Increase

GSI Commerce Inc. said net revenues for the first quarter ended April 4, 2009 increased slightly to $196.5 million from $195.5 million. Non-GAAP net revenues increased 14% to $106.3 million from $93.3 million. Loss from operations was $13.0 million compared to a loss from operations of $17.8 million.


Non-GAAP income from operations was $9.3 million compared to $0.7 million. Net loss was $11.1 million or 23 cents per share compared to a net loss $10.8 million or 23 cents per share. Trailing 12 month free cash flow was $16.7 million compared to a negative $0.4 million.

“I'm very pleased with our first quarter performance,” said Michael G. Rubin, chairman, president and CEO of GSI. “We delivered excellent results with net revenues, loss from operations and non-GAAP income from operations all exceeding the high-end of our guidance ranges. This is also the first time that we generated non-GAAP income from operations in excess of capital expenditures in a quarter other than a fourth quarter. We have produced a strong start to the year and believe we are well-positioned to continue delivering solid results.”


Fiscal 2009 Second Quarter Guidance


The company provides the following guidance for fiscal 2009 second quarter:


Net revenues are expected to be in a range of $177.0 million to $182.0 million. Loss from operations is expected to be in a range of $17.0 million to $19.0 million. Non-GAAP income from operations is expected to be in a range of $3.0 million to $5.0 million.


The following is a reconciliation of GAAP loss from operations to non-GAAP income from operations: add to projected GAAP loss from operations estimated depreciation, amortization of $15.9 million (inclusive of amortization from acquisition-related intangibles of $2.5 million), estimated stock-based compensation of $6.0 million and estimated acquisition-related integration, transaction and due diligence expenses of $0.1 million.
