MALIBU, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAKK) reported results for the Company's third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Net sales for the third quarter were $351.4 million, compared to $357.8 million in the third quarter of 2008; and net sales for the first nine months of 2009 were $604.9 million, compared to $634.1 million for the first nine months of 2008. Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $33.7 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $54.1 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, reported in the third quarter of 2008. For the nine month period JAKKS reported a net loss of $383.7 million, or $14.11 per diluted share, compared to earnings for the first nine months of 2008 of $59.2 million, or $1.88 per diluted share.
On a non-GAAP basis, 2009 net sales for the third quarter were $351.4 million and $605.5 million for the nine month period, compared to non-GAAP net sales of $357.8 million and $634.1 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively. On a non-GAAP basis, JAKKS net income for the third quarter was $35.9 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $46.6 million, or $1.47 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2009 was $24.3 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $53.4 million, or $1.70 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2008.
2009 GAAP results include the following, which were excluded from the non-GAAP results noted above:
-- Pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $407.1 million due to the
sustained decline in the Company's market capitalization pursuant to the
applicable accounting rule, SFAS 142, taken in the second quarter of
2009.
-- Pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $8.2 million related to certain of
the Company's under-utilized trademarks, taken in the second quarter of
2009.
-- Pre-tax charge to royalty expense of $33.2 million was taken in the
second quarter of 2009 and $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2009
related to abandoned or underperforming licenses; $19.7 million is
non-cash and $13.7 million is expected to be paid out to third parties
through 2011.
-- Pre-tax charge to cost of goods of $23.3 million was taken in the second
quarter of 2009 and $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2009 related to
the impairment of inventory, of which $17.4 million is non-cash and $8.8
million is expected to be paid out to third parties during the remainder
of 2009.
-- Pre-tax non-cash charge of $2.3 million related to the write-off of
obsolete tools and molds was taken in the second quarter of 2009.
-- Pre-tax charge of $1.3 million related to the recall of one of the
Company's products, taken in the second quarter of 2009.
-- Pre-tax non-cash charge of $23.5 million related to the reduction to the
receivable from our video game joint venture with THQ as a result of the
recent arbitration decision, which reduced JAKKS' preferred return
payment rate from 10% to 6% of the joint venture's net sales, of which
$22.5 million was taken in the second quarter of 2009 and $1.0 million
was taken in the third quarter of 2009.
2008 GAAP results include the following, which were excluded from the non-GAAP results noted above:
-- Pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $9.1 million related to certain of
the Company's under-utilized trademarks in the third quarter of 2008.
-- Tax benefits related to the reversal of prior tax accruals of $13.3
million in the third quarter of 2008.
-- FIN 48 tax credit in the third quarter of 2008 which consisted of a $3.1
million credit to interest expense and a $2.0 million credit to penalty
expense.
-- Pre-tax non-cash charge to cost of goods of $2.7 million related to the
impairment of inventory in the third quarter of 2008 and $3.9 million
for the nine month period of 2008.
-- Pre-tax non-cash charge to royalty expense of $1.9 million related to
abandoned or underperforming licenses in the third quarter of 2008 and
$2.4 million for the nine month period of 2008.
The goodwill impairment charge taken earlier this year does not affect the Company's liquidity or business operations, and is not expected to limit or change its ability to continue to generate positive future cash flows from these intangible assets.
"In this challenging retail environment, we have been focused on executing on our restructuring plan," said Jack Friedman, Chairman and Co-CEO. "In October we began consolidating operations in Hong Kong and New York, and also carried out headcount reductions Company-wide. Our goal is to streamline processes, reduce costs and lower capital expenditures in order to enhance profitability in this retail environment."
Stephen Berman, JAKKS Co-CEO and president, continued, "We have been analyzing every area of our business, shipping our Fall line into retail, and developing our portfolio for 2010. We previewed next year's line to buyers at JAKKS' 2010 Fall Toy Preview held at our new Santa Monica Showroom during the past two weeks, and it was very well received by our licensors and retailer partners from every sales channel."
Operations provided cash in the third quarter of $35.9 million. As of September 30, 2009, our working capital was $322.5 million, including cash and equivalents and marketable securities of $154.0 million, and we continue to evaluate potential acquisition opportunities while executing on extensive cost savings and internal growth initiatives.
While there is no certainty about the level of sales for the holiday season, at this point we still believe that our previously announced guidance is achievable. For the 2009 fiscal year the Company is expecting GAAP net sales of approximately $810 million, with a net loss on a GAAP basis of $378.0 million, or $13.72 per share, and is expecting non-GAAP net sales of approximately $810.7 million, with net income on a non-GAAP basis of $30.0 million, or $1.01 per diluted share.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial information
In addition to the preliminary results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP included in this release, the Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information, including net sales information that excludes recall items, and expense information that excludes intangible asset impairment charges and license and inventory impairment charges, among others. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors because this information may allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business performance and certain components of the Company's results. In addition, the Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures enhances an investor's ability to make period-to-period comparisons of the Company's operation results. This information should be considered in addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP results. The company has reconciled the non-GAAP financial information included in this release to the nearest GAAP measure. See the attached "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information."
