Rent-Way Reports Fiscal 2005 Second Quarter Financial Results ERIE,
Pa., May 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rent-Way, Inc. (NYSE:RWY)
today reported financial results for the three and six months ended
March 31, 2005. The results reported are restated to reflect the
Company's review of its lease accounting practices and its method
of recognizing rental business revenues as discussed below. For the
second quarter, the Company reported revenues of $136.2 million
versus $135.3 million in the same quarter last year. Revenues from
the Company's core rental business (which excludes the Company's
dPi Teleconnect unit) were $131.6 million versus $128.7 million in
the same quarter last year. Same store rental business revenue
increased 1.4% versus last year's quarter. Operating income in the
quarter was $14.3 million, compared to $15.1 million in the same
period last year. Net income was $6.3 million, compared to $6.6
million in the second quarter last year. Net income allocable to
common shareholders was $5.8 million or $0.19 per share versus $6.2
million last year or $0.22 per share. Net income for the quarter
gives effect to a non-cash $610 thousand FAS 133 gain related to
the conversion feature of the Company's preferred stock. "Our
management team has done an excellent job executing our growth
plans. We nicely exceeded our guidance in revenue and operating
income," stated William Morgenstern, Rent-Way's Chairman. "In the
quarter we also opened 12 new stores and we expect to open 8 - 10
more by the end of the current quarter. Our new stores, which we
define as stores open less than 15 months, collectively continue to
perform ahead of plan and our store opening plan remains on
course," concluded Mr. Morgenstern. William McDonnell, Rent-Way's
Vice President and CFO, stated, "For the quarter, our core stores
revenue and operating income were $130.4 million and $16.7 million,
respectively, and our core stores with new stores revenue and
operating income were $131.6 million and $14.3 million,
respectively. For both core stores and core stores with new stores,
we exceeded our guidance for the quarter. As we look forward to the
next two quarters, based on current business trends, we reiterate
our guidance for revenue and operating income ranges. We anticipate
comparable store sales for the June and September quarters to be in
the positive 3-4% range," concluded Mr. McDonnell. The Company
ended the quarter with $18.0 million outstanding on its bank
revolver, down from $22.0 million at March 31, 2004. The Company
reported EBITDA for the quarter of $18.2 million versus $19.2
million in the same quarter last year. EBITDA as defined by the
Company is operating income plus depreciation of property and
equipment and amortization of goodwill and other intangibles. The
Company believes EBITDA provides investors useful information
regarding its ability to service its debt and generate cash for
other purposes, including for capital expenditures and working
capital. The Company reported net cash provided by operations for
the quarter of $14.0 million versus $22.0 million in the same
quarter last year. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures
mentioned above to the nearest comparable GAAP measures are
presented in the chart of supplemental information attached to this
release. In light of announcements made by many public companies
regarding lease related accounting and a February 7, 2005, letter
by the SEC to the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, the Company reviewed its lease accounting practices
with its independent registered public accounting firm. As a
result, the Company has corrected its accounting for leases and
will be restating the financial results contained in its most
recent Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, and its
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, and those
financial statements should no longer be relied upon. More
specifically, the Company is correcting its computation of
depreciation of leasehold improvements, its treatment of "free
rent" or "rent holidays" offered by landlords at the commencement
of a lease and its classification of landlord allowances related to
leasehold improvements. The Company has also determined to give
effect to its previously announced change in recognizing rental
business revenues in periods prior to September 30, 2004. Effective
October 1, 2004, the Company began to record revenues over the
rental term rather than as collected. The cumulative net impact of
this change was $2.6 million at October 1, 2004, and was recorded
in Other Expense in the quarter ended December 31, 2004. This
adjustment will be reversed and will now be recorded in Revenues
and Operating Expenses for prior periods. The impact of the
restatements on the Company's consolidated statements of operations
was an increase in revenues of $0.3 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2004, and a decrease in operating and net income of $0.5
million and $0.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively. The impact of the restatements on the Company's
consolidated statements of operations was a decrease in revenues of
$0.1 million and a decrease in operating and net income of $0.5
million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and a decrease in
operating income of $1.3 million and an increase in net income of
$1.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005. The impact on
the Company's March 31, 2005, consolidated balance sheet was a
decrease in property and equipment, net of $3.7 million, an
increase in other liabilities of $0.9 million, and an increase in
accumulated deficit of $4.6 million. The impact on the Company's
September 30, 2004, consolidated balance sheet was an increase in
rental merchandise, net of $0.8 million, a decrease in property and
equipment, net of $2.5 million, an increase in other assets of $2.2
million, an increase in other liabilities of $6.3 million, and an
increase in accumulated deficit of $5.8 million. The company will
file amendments to its 2004 Form 10-K and its December 31, 2004,
Form 10-Q containing restated financial statements. About Rent-Way
