Pathmark Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq: PTMK) today reported
unaudited results for its second quarter and six-month period ended
July 30, 2005.
Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 were $1,000.7 million,
a decrease of 1.1% from $1,011.7 million in the prior year's second
quarter. Same-store sales decreased 2.0% in the second quarter. The
Company reported a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted
share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to a net loss of
$1.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the prior year's second
quarter. The results for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 included a
$2.8 million pretax charge, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to the
early extinguishment of debt. Excluding this item and a $0.2 million
expense relating to strategic alternatives, the Company would have
reported a net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.
John Standley, Chief Executive Officer, said, "When I took over as
CEO two weeks ago, I noted my confidence in Pathmark - a strong
franchise with excellent locations and store volumes. While there are
some near-term challenges to overcome, I am excited about Pathmark's
potential." Mr. Standley continued, "Our second quarter results were
largely due to weak sales, a trend which has continued into the third
quarter. We have already begun implementing plans to improve in-store
merchandising and product assortments and to upgrade the look of our
stores. Looking forward, Pathmark will become a stronger,
consumer-driven company with better in-store execution and more
compelling financial results."
Sales for the first six months of fiscal 2005 were $2,003.2
million, an increase of 0.1% from $2,001.8 million in the prior year's
six-month period. Same-store sales decreased 0.9% in the six-month
period. The net loss was $7.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in
the first six months of fiscal 2005 compared to a net loss of $3.4
million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the prior year's six-month
period. The results for the first six months of fiscal 2005 included a
$1.1 million pretax expense, or $0.02 per diluted share, related to
the Company's review of strategic alternatives and a $2.8 million
pretax charge, or $0.05 per diluted share, related to the early
extinguishment of debt. Excluding these items, the Company would have
reported a net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. The
results for the first six months of fiscal 2004 included a $1.2
million pre-tax gain, or $0.02 per diluted share, from the sale of
real estate. Excluding this item, the Company would have reported a
net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share.
FIFO EBITDA, which the Company defines as loss before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, and the LIFO charge was $31.5
million and $66.1 million, respectively, in the second quarter and the
first six months of fiscal 2005, compared to $35.8 million and $70.8
million, respectively, in the prior year's second quarter and
six-month period. Excluding the $0.2 million expense related to the
strategic alternatives in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, FIFO
EBITDA would have been $31.7 million. Excluding the $1.1 million
expense related to the strategic alternatives in the first six months
of fiscal 2005 and the above-referenced real estate gain of $1.2
million in the first six months of fiscal 2004, FIFO EBITDA would have
been $67.2 million and $69.6 million, respectively.
The Company is presenting FIFO EBITDA and each of FIFO EBITDA and
net loss, excluding the identified items above, in order to allow
investors to compare more fully Pathmark's performance in the second
quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2005 with its performance
in the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2004. None of
these measures is calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. See the notes to the tables attached to this
release for more information regarding FIFO EBITDA.
Cash capital investments in the first six months of fiscal 2005
were $15.4 million. During the first half of fiscal 2005, the Company
renovated one store and closed one store. During the remainder of
fiscal 2005, the Company plans to open two new stores, close one store
and complete seven store renovations. Total capital investments for
fiscal 2005 are expected to be approximately $75 million.

Notes to Financial Statements
a) Interest expense for the 13 weeks and the 26 weeks ended July 30,
2005 includes a $2.8 million early extinguishment of debt charge
related to the defeasance of mortgage liabilities.
b) The income tax benefit was $4.4 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2005 compared to $0.7 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2004 and was based on an effective tax rate of 46.7% in the
second quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to 30.0% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2004. The income tax benefit was $6.7 million in
the first six months of fiscal 2005 compared to $2.1 million in
the first six months of fiscal 2004 and was based on an effective
tax rate of 48.6% in the first six months of fiscal 2005 compared
to 38.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2004. The higher
effective tax rate in the second quarter and in the first six
months of fiscal 2005 was primarily due to the Work Opportunity
Tax Credit ("WOTC"), which increased the tax benefit. The
effective tax rate in the second quarter and in the first six
months of fiscal 2004 did not include the WOTC due to its
expiration on December 31, 2003. The WOTC was reinstated in
September 2004, retroactive to January 1, 2004.
c) FIFO EBITDA represents loss before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization and the LIFO charge. We believe that our
investors find FIFO EBITDA to be a useful analytical tool for
measuring our performance and for comparing our performance with
the performance of other companies having different capital
structures. In addition, FIFO EBITDA, before proforma adjustments,
is consistent with the targets utilized in our incentive
compensation program. FIFO EBITDA, before proforma adjustments, is
a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered in isolation from,
and is not intended to represent an alternative measure of,
operating earnings or of cash flows from operating activities, as
determined in accordance with GAAP. Our measurement of FIFO
EBITDA, before proforma adjustments, as presented below (in
millions), may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies:
