Haverty Furniture Reports Results for Second Quarter 2004 ATLANTA, July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- HAVERTY FURNITURE COMPANIES, INC. (NYSE:HVTNYSE:andNYSE:HVT.A) today reported earnings for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004. Net income for the second quarter was $3.7 million or $0.16 per diluted share of Common Stock, as compared to the second quarter 2003 net income of $2.1 million or $0.10 per diluted share of Common Stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, net income was $9.9 million or $0.43 per diluted share of Common Stock versus net income of $7.0 million or $0.32 per diluted share of Common Stock for the same period in 2003. Net sales for the second quarter of 2004 were $179.6 million, an increase of 6.5% over sales of $168.6 million for the corresponding quarter in 2003. As previously reported, comparable-store sales increased 2.6% for the quarter. Clarence H. Smith, president and chief executive officer, said, "The strength of our brand continued to drive our sales and earnings growth during the second quarter. Our expanded Havertys Collections Premium merchandise and newly introduced private-label bedding line give us a branded assortment in all categories and price points. Sales of our Havertys branded products were approximately 36% of our total second quarter sales, more than double that of last year's second quarter. "On a comparable basis, gross profit margin increased 80 basis points over the second quarter last year. Increased sales of Havertys branded products and reduced levels of markdowns helped generate our improved margins. "The total amounts financed by our customers, either through our programs or the third party provider, decreased during the second quarter to 40% of sales from 45% last year. We did have an increase in usage of our internal credit programs during the second quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2004. This generated additional accounts receivable but since these are mostly no-interest accounts, our credit service charge revenue for the second quarter lagged the prior year's quarter by $0.5 million. The financial strength of our customer base and corresponding receivable portfolio is demonstrated by the reduction in the provision for bad debts. "We had modest improvements in our SG&A expenses as a percent of sales on a comparable basis as we leveraged certain fixed costs and had reductions in our warehouse costs. "Our use of cash during the quarter was primarily directed towards inventory and capital expenditures. Inventories grew during the second quarter as we strengthened our premium merchandise lines and reacted to the higher forecasted sales of imported products. "We opened our new Columbia, Maryland store in the second quarter, and our second store in San Antonio, Texas will open in September. We will move into new markets as we expand into Cincinnati, Ohio and Baton Rouge, Louisiana later this year. The strength of our merchandising and ability to service the customer give us a distinct advantage. We are excited about our current and future growth opportunities as we extend our reach and strengthen our market share," Smith concluded. Effective this quarter, the Company must report its earnings per share using the two-class method as required by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF). The EITF reached final consensus on Issue No. 03-6, "Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share" at their March 17, 2004 meeting. EITF 03-6 requires the income per share for each class of common stock to be calculated assuming 100% of the Company's earnings are distributed as dividends to each class of common stock based on their contractual rights. The Common Stock of the Company has a 105% dividend preference to the Class A Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock, which has ten votes per share as opposed to one vote per share for the Common Stock, may be converted at any time on a one-for-one basis for the Common Stock at the option of the holder of the Class A Common Stock. The effective result of EITF 03-6 is that the basic earnings per share for the Common Stock is 105% of the basic earnings per share of the Class A Common Stock. Additionally, given the Company's current capital structure, diluted earnings per share for Common Stock under EITF 03-6 will be the same as was reported previously using the if-converted method. In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 02-16, "Accounting by a Customer for Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor." This EITF places certain restrictions on the treatment of advertising allowances and requires vendor rebates to be treated as a reduction of inventory costs for agreements entered into or significantly modified after November 30, 2002, unless they represent a reimbursement of specific, incremental, identifiable costs incurred by the customer to sell the vendor's product. The adoption of EITF 02-16 did not have a material impact on the Company's 2003 financial statements as most contracts were in place prior to the effective date or allowances were tracked and identified with specific incremental advertising costs. Beginning in 2004, the Company elected to treat all cooperative advertising funds received from vendors as a reduction in the cost of inventory. The change in the classification of the co-operative advertising funds and rebates in accordance with GAAP makes a reconciliation necessary to compare the current year periods to prior-year periods.
