New World Coffee – Manhattan Bagel, Inc. (Nasdaq: NWCI) Friday (19 August) reported financial results for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2001. Current year results include the operations of 463 company-owned Einstein Bros. and Noah’s NY Bagel stores and related production and support facilities from June 19, the date of New World’s acquisition of the assets of Einstein/Noah Bagel Corp. and its majority owned subsidiary, Einstein/Noah Bagel Partners, L.P.

For comparative purposes, the Company also presented unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the six-month periods which, due to differing fiscal periods for the two companies, includes two additional weeks of Einstein/Noah operations in the year 2000 period. Pro-forma comparisons for the second quarter periods were not reported due to the incompatibility of the companies’ fiscal periods.

On a pro forma basis, total revenues for the six months ended July 3, 2001 were $205.3 million, compared with $221.8 million for the six months ended June 25, 2000, when results included two additional weeks of contributions from Einstein/Noah. In addition to the calendar difference, revenue comparisons were impacted by a decrease in Einstein’s store count to 463 at the end of the 2001 period from 539 at the end of the first quarter of 2000, due to store closings in connection with the Einstein reorganization. Pro-forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and one-time charges (EBITDA) for the fiscal 2001 period were $15.6 million, or 7.6% of revenues, compared with $15.5 million, or 7.0% of revenues for the fiscal 2000 period. The year-to-year improvement in the pro-forma EBITDA ratio is primarily a result of the decline in general and administrative expenses to 8.9% of revenues in the 2001 period from 9.4% in the 2000 period.

On an actual, reported basis, total revenues for the quarter ended July 3, 2001 rose 148.2% to $25.2 million from $10.2 million for the quarter ended June 25, 2000, due primarily to the addition of the Einstein Bros. and Noah’s NY Bagel brands. Retail sales increased 831.7% to $18.1 million, from $1.9 million for the comparable 2000 period. Manufacturing revenues decreased 12.1% to $5.7 million from $6.5 million in the 2000 period, primarily the result of the Company’s decision to outsource its low-margin distribution business which had previously been included in manufacturing revenues. Franchise related revenues declined 16.9% to $1.4 million from $1.7 million in the 2000 period, primarily reflecting a decision to terminate certain franchisees whose operations did not comply with the Company’s policies.

EBITDA increased 41.3% to $2.6 million, or 10.2% of revenues, from $1.8 million, or 17.9% of revenues, in the 2000 quarter.

The Company reported a net loss of $17.4 million for the fiscal 2001 quarter, compared to net income of $771,000 for the comparable 2000 period, primarily as a result of $15.4 million in non-cash charges principally related to the Einstein acquisition. No similar items were recorded in the 2000 quarter. After deducting $3.3 million for dividends and accretion on preferred stock, both of which are non-cash accounting adjustments, the Company reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $20.7 million, or $1.27 per common share, compared to net income of $771,000, or $.07 per share, in the 2000 quarter.

On an actual, reported basis, for the six-month period ended July 3, 2001, the Company’s total revenues increased 84.9% to $35.7 million from $19.3 million in the comparable 2000 period. Retail sales grew 588.0% to $21.8 million from $3.2 million for the comparable 2000 period. Manufacturing revenues decreased 14.1% to $10.9 million from $12.7 million a year ago. Franchise related revenues declined 11.8% to $3.1 million from $3.5 million in the 2000 period.

Six-month EBITDA increased 19.9% to $4.2 million, or 11.8% of revenues, from $3.5 million, or 18.2% of revenues, in the comparable 2000 period.

The Company’s loss for the six months ended July 3, 2001 was $17.9 million, compared to net income of $1.4 million for the comparable 2000 period, primarily as a result of $16.1 million in non-cash items principally related to the Einstein acquisition. Additionally, this year’s loss reflected a $166,000 provision for income taxes. The Company recorded no similar items or income tax provision in the first half of 2000. The net loss available to common shareholders for the first six months of fiscal 2001 was $24.5 million, or $1.52 per common share, after deducting $6.6 million in non-cash accounting adjustments for dividends and accretion on preferred stock. This compared with net income of $1.4 million, or $.12 per common share, in the 2000 period.

Commenting on the results, New World Chairman Ramin Kamfar said: “The acquisition of Einstein provides us with critical mass and positions us in a unique position as both the largest company in the retail bagel bakery field and as a leader in the ‘fast casual’ sandwich business. Our management team is focused on efforts to realize cost savings through consolidation of production, purchasing and distribution functions, and eliminating redundant overhead and administrative costs. While our results this past quarter are affected by unusual acquisition related items, we believe that starting in the next quarter investors should clearly see the strength of our operating results.”

Anthony Wedo, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who was named a member of New World’s Board of Directors yesterday, added: “We are focusing on three strategic initiatives which are (a) to grow our store revenue base and profitability, (b) to grow our brands by attracting well capitalized and experienced licensees and franchisees, and (c) to build upon our leadership position in the ‘Fast Casual’ segment of restaurant industry.”

New World Coffee-Manhattan Bagel, Inc. is the largest company in the retail bagel bakery industry and a leading company in the “fast casual” sandwich industry.
