year; - New store openings totaled 314 during the year, establishing a new

DOTHAN, Ala., March 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Movie Gallery, Inc.
(NASDAQ:MOVI) today announced record revenues for the 2004-fourth quarter,
which ended January 2, 2005. Total revenues in the 2004-fourth quarter were
$208.4 million, an increase of 6.6% from $195.5 million in the year-ago
quarter. Net income for the 2004-fourth quarter was $11.4 million, or $0.36
per diluted share, which included a one-time, non-cash charge of $3.8 million
after-tax, or $0.12 per diluted share, related to a correction in the Company's
accounting for leasehold improvements and equity losses of $0.5 million
after-tax, or $0.02 per diluted share, related to its investments in various
alternative delivery vehicles for movie content. Excluding these items, net
income in the 2004-fourth quarter would have been $0.50 per share on an
on-going basis. For the 2003-fourth quarter, the Company's net income was
$17.5 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, which included a non-cash charge of
$0.01 per diluted share associated with the fourth quarter 2002 rental
inventory amortization change in estimate and equity losses of $0.01 per
diluted share related to investments in various alternative delivery vehicles.
For fiscal 2004, total revenues were $791.2 million, a 14.3% increase over
fiscal 2003. Net income for fiscal 2004 was $49.5 million, or $1.52 per diluted
share, which included a non-cash after-tax charge of $0.12 per diluted share
related to the correction in the Company's accounting for leasehold
improvements, a non-cash charge of $0.02 per diluted share associated with
stock option compensation, and equity losses of $0.11 per diluted share related
to alternative delivery vehicles. Excluding these items, the Company's net
income for fiscal 2004 would have been $1.77 per share on an on-going basis.
For fiscal 2003, the Company's net income was $49.4 million, or $1.48 per
diluted share, which included a non-cash charge of $0.11 per diluted share
related to the rental inventory amortization change in estimate, a non-cash
charge of $0.03 associated with stock option compensation and equity losses of
$0.03 per diluted share related to alternative delivery vehicles. Excluding
these items, net income for fiscal 2003 would have been $1.65 per share on an
on-going basis.
"We achieved record sales and profits in fiscal 2004, representing our sixth
consecutive year of record financial results," said Joe Malugen, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Movie Gallery. "Adherence to our
internal growth strategies and low cost operating philosophy helped us deliver
solid operating results in spite of a significantly weaker home video release
schedule in the second half of 2004. Furthermore, the Company's strong free
cash flow and balance sheet enabled us to internally finance 100% of our
operating needs and capital expenditures, repurchase $50 million of our common
stock, and complete 2004 with no long-term debt."
"During the year, we continued to enhance our growth by committing significant
resources to the development of new stores, acquisitions, the expansion of our
international presence and the development of several key initiatives such as
our game business," added Malugen. "In doing so, we are continuously building
upon our strong market positions while searching for profitable growth
opportunities in the home entertainment industry. Accordingly, in 2004, we
added a net total of 324 stores, with 314 new stores, 74 acquired stores and 64
store closures. As a result, at year end, we had a total of 2,482 stores
throughout North America, with 2,276 stores in the United States, 201 stores in
Canada, and 5 stores in Mexico."
Lease Accounting Matters
On February 7, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") clarified
certain lease accounting matters and their application under generally accepted
accounting principles. The SEC specifically addressed the depreciable life of
leasehold improvements, rent holidays and landlord-tenant incentives.
As have other companies in the retail industry, Movie Gallery, together with
its external auditor, reviewed its accounting practices with respect to rent
and leasehold improvements and determined to take a one-time, pre-tax non-cash
charge of $6.3 million ($3.8 million after-tax or $0.12 per diluted share) to
conform the Company's accounting to the treatment outlined in the SEC
clarification. This represents the total cumulative impact of the adjustment,
which has been recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
The non-cash charge recorded in the 2004-fourth quarter was comprised of $2.1
million after-tax, or $0.07 per share, for the current year and $1.7 million
after-tax, or $0.05 per share, for prior years. There will be no impact on
future cash flows.
Fourth Quarter Results
For the 2004-fourth quarter, total revenues were $208.4 million, an increase of
$12.9 million over the fourth quarter last year. Rental revenues for the
2004-fourth quarter were $191.1 million, or 91.7% of total revenues, versus
$173.5 million, or 88.7% of total revenues, in the comparable period last year.
Product sales for the 2004-fourth quarter were $17.3 million, or 8.3% of total
revenues, versus $22.0 million, or 11.3% of total revenues, in the year-ago
quarter. The increase in total revenues was primarily driven by a 15.6%
increase in the average number of stores operated during the period and
partially offset by an overall 6.0% decrease in same-store sales versus the
year-ago quarter. As anticipated, the decline in the Company's 2004-fourth
quarter same-store sales were principally caused by: (i) both holidays,
Christmas and New Year's Day, occurring on the weekend; (ii) a significantly
weaker home video release schedule of movie titles that grossed over $100
million at the box office; (iii) a 21.4% decrease in product sales revenue due
to a reduction in new release movie inventory for sell-through; and, (iv) an
unfavorable warm and dry weather pattern across much of the United States.
Total gross profit was $140.8 million, or a 67.6% total gross margin, for the
2004-fourth quarter versus a total gross profit of $128.3 million, or a 65.6%
total gross margin, in the 2003-fourth quarter. Excluding the charge
associated with the rental inventory amortization change in estimate, total
gross profit in the 2003-fourth quarter would have been $129.2 million, or a
66.1% gross margin.
Rental gross profit for the 2004-fourth quarter was $135.7 million, or a 71.0%
rental margin, compared to a rental gross profit of $124.0 million, or a 71.5%
rental gross margin, in the same period last year. Excluding the charge
associated with the rental inventory amortization change in estimate, the
Company's rental gross profit in the 2003-fourth quarter would have been $124.8
million, or a 72.0% rental margin. Gross profit on product sales in the
2004-fourth quarter was $5.1 million, or a 29.6% sell-through gross margin,
versus a gross profit on product sales of $4.3 million, or a 19.7% sell-through
gross margin, in the year-ago quarter.
Store operating expenses for the 2004-fourth quarter were $107.6 million, or
51.6% of total revenues. Excluding the lease accounting charge, store
operating expenses for the 2004-fourth quarter would have been $101.3 million,
or 48.6% of total revenues, versus $86.4 million, or 44.2% of total revenues,
in the comparable period last year. The increase in store operating expenses
as a percentage of total revenues was primarily driven by the 6.0% decrease in
same-store revenues for the 2004-fourth quarter versus the year-ago quarter, as
certain operating expenses are fixed. To a lesser extent, the increase in
store operating expenses was also driven by the 30.3% increase in the number of
new store openings since last year given that new stores have higher expense
ratios during their first year of operation due to the combination of start-up
costs and a lower revenue base.
General and administrative expenses ("G&A") for the 2004-fourth quarter were
$12.8 million, or 6.1% of total revenues, versus $12.1 million, or 6.2% of
total revenues, in the comparable period last year.
For the 2004-fourth quarter, operating income was $19.8 million, or 9.5% of
total revenues. Excluding the lease accounting charge, our operating income
would have been $26.1 million, or 12.5% of total revenues. Comparatively, our
operating income in the 2003-fourth quarter was $29.4 million, or 15.1% of
total revenues.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the 2004-fourth quarter was $44.8
million versus $44.4 million in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA for the 2004-fourth quarter was $28.2 million, or 13.5% of
total revenues, versus $32.7 million, or 16.7% of total revenues, in the
comparable period last year. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net cash provided
by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities,
interest and taxes.
Fiscal 2004 Operating Results
For fiscal 2004 ended January 2, 2005, total revenues were up $98.8 million to
$791.2 million, a 14.3% increase over the prior year's total revenues of $692.4
million. The increase in total revenues was driven by a 19% increase in the
average number of stores operated in fiscal 2004 versus the prior year. The
increase in total revenue was partially offset by a 1.5% decline in same-store
revenues driven primarily by the significantly weaker home video release
schedule in the second half of 2004.
Operating income for fiscal 2004 was $87.6 million, or 11.1% of total revenues.
Excluding the lease accounting charge and the charge associated with stock
option compensation, operating income would have been $94.7 million, or 12.0%
of total revenues. For fiscal 2003, operating income was $83.3 million, or
12.0% of total revenues, which included expenses and non-cash charges related
to the rental inventory amortization policy change and stock option
compensation. Excluding these items, operating income would have been $90.8
million, or 13.1% of total revenues, in fiscal 2003.
Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2004 was $105.5 million,
an increase of $9.9 million, or 10.4%, from $95.6 million in fiscal 2003.
Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2004 was $111.7 million, or 14.1% of total revenues,
versus $109.4 million, or 15.8% of total revenues, in fiscal 2003.
Business Outlook for 2005
The Company's expectations for both the 2005-first quarter and fiscal 2005 are:
-- The Company expects to open approximately 400 stores in 2005,
requiring a capital investment of approximately $52 million. In
addition to the pending acquisitions of Hollywood Entertainment
(NASDAQ:HLYW) and VHQ Entertainment, Inc. (TSX: VHQ), the Company
will continue to pursue other strategic acquisitions. However, the
Company's 2005 guidance does not include projections from any pending
or future acquisitions.
-- Same-store sales are projected to be in a range of 0.5% to +1.5% for
the 2005-first quarter. In total for fiscal 2005, the Company is
forecasting same-store sales to be in a range of 0% to +3%.
-- Total revenues for the 2005-first quarter are forecasted to range
between $228 million and $233 million, an increase of more than 12%
over the prior year's first quarter. In total for fiscal 2005, the
Company projects total revenues to be in a range of $875 million and
$900 million, an increase of approximately 11% over the prior year
driven primarily by the continued growth in its store base.
-- Earnings for the 2005-first quarter are forecasted to range between
$0.56 and $0.60 per diluted share. For fiscal 2005, the Company
projects earnings to be in a range of $1.78 to $1.88 per diluted
share, which includes about $0.06 per diluted share in accelerated
depreciation expense related to the Company's accounting for leases.
-- The Company expects other ongoing capital expenditures for 2005 to be
approximately $25 million.
Update on the Hollywood Entertainment Acquisition
On January 10, 2005 Movie Gallery announced that it entered into a definitive
merger agreement with Hollywood Entertainment Corporation (NASDAQ:HLYW) under
which Movie Gallery will acquire all outstanding shares of Hollywood for $13.25
per share in cash or approximately $850 million. Movie Gallery filed with the
Federal Trade Commission and has already received regulatory clearance to
proceed with its planned acquisition of Hollywood. Approval by Hollywood
shareholders of the proposed merger and satisfaction of other customary closing
conditions are required to complete the transaction. The combination will
create a leading North American rentailer. The Company expects the combination
to significantly expand its market presence and to enhance value for its
shareholders.
"Our all-cash acquisition of Hollywood provides greater closing certainty and
will deliver real value to Hollywood shareholders," said Page Todd, Executive
Vice President and General Counsel of Movie Gallery. "We continue to believe
both the FTC and the courts will conclude that a combined Blockbuster-Hollywood
would significantly harm competition and lead to higher video rental fees for
the consumer. Furthermore, contrary to Blockbuster's many public statements,
we believe that Blockbuster's flawed market theory will not survive the
scrutiny of a federal court and for that reason we expect the FTC to obtain an
injunction preventing Blockbuster from proceeding with its hostile takeover
attempt."

Disclosures Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net cash provided by operating activities before
changes in operating assets and liabilities, interest and taxes. Adjusted
EBITDA is presented primarily as an alternative measure of liquidity, although
we also use it as an internal measure of performance for making business
decisions and compensating our executives. It is also a widely accepted
financial indicator in the home video specialty retail industry of a company's
ability to incur and service debt, finance its operations and meet its growth
plans. However, our computation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily
identical to similarly captioned measures presented by other companies in our
industry. We encourage you to compare the components of our reconciliation of
Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows from operations in relation to similar
reconciliations provided by other companies in our industry. Our presentation
of net cash provided by operating activities and Adjusted EBITDA treats rental
inventory as being expensed upon purchase instead of being capitalized and
amortized. We believe this presentation is meaningful and appropriate because
our annual cash investment in rental inventory is substantial and in many
respects is similar to recurring merchandise inventory purchases considering
our operating cycle and the relatively short useful lives of our rental
inventory. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of changes
in operating assets and liabilities. This adjustment eliminates temporary
effects attributable to timing differences between accrual accounting and
actual cash receipts and disbursements, and other normal, recurring and
seasonal fluctuations in working capital that have no long-term or continuing
affect on our liquidity. Investors should consider our presentation of
Adjusted EBITDA in light of its relationship to cash flows from operations,
cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities
as shown in our statements of cash flows. Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily a
measure of "free cash flow" because it does not reflect periodic changes in the
level of our working capital or our investments in new store openings, business
acquisitions, or other long-term investments we may make. However, it is an
important measure used internally by executive management of our Company in
making decisions about where to allocate resources to grow our business.
In prior periods, we presented a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to operating
income. We changed the format of our reconciliation beginning in the first
quarter of fiscal 2004 to reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to cash provided by
operating activities. We have recast the reconciliations for prior periods to
conform to the new presentation. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is
reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities as follows (in
thousands):
