Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE: RAD) today reported operating results for its second fiscal quarter ended August 27, 2022.

“We’ve made good progress on key initiatives during the quarter: driving prescription growth and market share, improving operating margins at Elixir and achieving reductions in SG&A expenses across our business,” said Heyward Donigan, president and CEO. “As we look to the second half of the year, we expect continued pressure on consumer spending and supply chain challenges. At the same time, we are ready to meet a high demand for immunizations, while driving continued strong performance at Elixir and further SG&A expense reductions.”

For the second quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $331.3 million, or $6.07 loss per share, Adjusted net loss of $34.4 million, or $0.63 loss per share, and Adjusted EBITDA of $78.5 million, or 1.3 percent of revenues.

Revenues for the quarter were $5.90 billion compared to revenues of $6.11 billion in the prior year’s quarter, largely due to a reduction in revenue from COVID vaccines and testing, store closures and a planned loss of covered lives at Elixir.

Second quarter net loss was $331.3 million, or $6.07 per share, compared to last year’s second quarter net loss of $100.3 million, or $1.86 per share. The increase in net loss is due primarily to a current quarter charge of $252.2 million, or $4.62 per share, for the impairment of goodwill related to the Pharmacy Services Segment. Net loss was also impacted by higher facility exit and impairment charges driven by the Company’s previously announced store closures. These items are partially offset by a gain on our repurchase of certain bonds at a discount, a gain on sale of assets resulting from sale leasebacks of two distribution centers and script file sales resulting from the store closures.

Retail Pharmacy Segment revenues decreased 1.1 percent over the prior year quarter, driven by a reduction in COVID vaccine and testing revenue as well as store closures, partially offset by an increase in both acute and maintenance prescriptions. Same store sales for the second quarter increased 5.6 percent over the prior year period, consisting of an 8.0 percent increase in pharmacy sales, partially offset by a 0.3 percent decrease in front-end sales. Front-end same store sales, excluding cigarettes and tobacco products, increased 0.2 percent. The number of prescriptions filled in same stores, adjusted to 30-day equivalents, increased 3.1 percent over the prior year period. Total same store prescriptions, excluding COVID immunizations, increased 2.1 percent, with same store maintenance prescriptions increasing 1.2 percent and other same store acute prescriptions increasing 5.3 percent. Prescription sales accounted for 70.7 percent of total drugstore sales. Total store count at the end of the second quarter was 2,352.

Retail Pharmacy Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $31.5 million, or 0.7 percent of revenues, for the second quarter compared to last year’s second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $69.4 million, or 1.6 percent of revenues. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was due to decreased gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $45.0 million. Gross profit was negatively impacted by the decline in COVID vaccinations and testing, partially offset by the increase in prescriptions filled. SG&A expenses benefited from lower payroll, occupancy, and other operating costs due to store closures and cost control initiatives.

Pharmacy Services Segment revenues were $1.7 billion for the quarter, a decrease of 9.0 percent compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in revenues was primarily the result of a planned decrease in Elixir Insurance membership and a previously announced client loss due to industry consolidation, partially offset by increased utilization of higher cost drugs.

Pharmacy Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $47.1 million, or 2.7 percent of revenues, for the second quarter compared to last year’s second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $36.8 million, or 1.9 percent of revenues. The current quarter benefitted from increased gross profit resulting from improved network performance, increases in rebates, and reductions in SG&A expense, partially offset by the decline in revenues associated with lost clients, as mentioned above.

Outlook for Fiscal 2023

Rite Aid Corporation is maintaining its outlook for Fiscal 2023 revenues and lowering its outlook for net loss and Adjusted EBITDA.

Total revenues are expected to be between $23.6 billion and $24.0 billion in fiscal 2023. Retail Pharmacy Segment revenue is expected to be between $17.35 billion and $17.65 billion and Pharmacy Services Segment revenue is expected to be between $6.25 billion and $6.35 billion (net of any intercompany revenues to the Retail Pharmacy Segment).

Net loss is expected to be between $520.3 million and $477.3 million. Our estimates for net loss have increased primarily due to goodwill impairment charges in the Pharmacy Services Segment and increased impairment charges for closed stores.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $450 million and $490 million versus prior guidance of between $460 million and $500 million, due to expectations of cautious consumer demand and continued supply chain challenges in our front end retail business, partially offset by improved margins at Elixir. Retail Pharmacy Segment Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $305 million and $335 million and Pharmacy Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $145 million and $155 million.

Adjusted net loss per share is expected to be between $1.52 and $0.97.

Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $225 million, with a focus on investments in digital capabilities, technology, prescription file purchases and distribution center automation.

We expect to generate positive free cash flow in Fiscal 2023.

These and other risks, assumptions and uncertainties are more fully described in Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents that we file or furnish with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which you are encouraged to read. To the extent that COVID-19 adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of such risk factors.

Accordingly, you are cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.

The degree to which COVID-19 may adversely affect Rite Aid’s results and operations, including its ability to achieve its outlook for fiscal 2023 guidance, will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments, which are highly uncertain, including, but not limited to, federal, state and local governmental policies and initiatives designed to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and emerging new variants and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. As a result, the impact on Rite Aid’s financial and operating results cannot be reasonably estimated with specificity at this time, but the impact could be material. Rite Aid expressly disclaims any current intention, and assumes no duty, to update publicly any forward-looking statement after the distribution of this release, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Rite Aid separately reports financial results on the basis of Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA SG&A, which are non-GAAP financial measures. See the attached tables for a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), and net income (loss) per diluted share, which are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share exclude amortization expense, merger and acquisition-related costs, non-recurring litigation and other contractual settlements, gains or losses on debt modifications and retirements, LIFO adjustments, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, restructuring-related costs, the gain or loss on Bartell acquisition, and the change in estimate related to manufacturer rebate receivables. Rite Aid believes Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share serve as appropriate measures to be used in evaluating the performance of its business and help its investors better compare its operating performance over multiple periods.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding the impact of income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, LIFO adjustments, charges or credits for facility exit and impairment, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, inventory write-downs related to store closings, gains or losses on debt modifications and retirements, and other items (including stock-based compensation expense, merger and acquisition-related costs, non-recurring litigation and other contractual settlements, severance, restructuring-related costs, costs related to facility closures, gain or loss on sale of assets, the gain or loss on Bartell acquisition, and the change in estimate related to manufacturer rebate receivables). The add back of LIFO (credit) charge when calculating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share removes the entire impact of LIFO (credits) charges, and effectively reflects Rite Aid's results as if the company was on a FIFO inventory basis. Rite Aid believes Adjusted EBITDA serves as an appropriate measure in evaluating the performance of its business and helps its investors better compare its operating performance with its competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA Gross Profit includes LIFO adjustments, depreciation and amortization (COGS portion only) and other items. See the attached tables for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA Gross Profit to Revenue, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA SG&A excludes depreciation and amortization (SG&A portion only), stock-based compensation expense, merger and acquisition-related costs, non-recurring litigation and other contractual settlements, and other items. See the attached tables for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA SG&A to Revenue, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA SG&A serve as appropriate measures in evaluating the performance of its business and helps its investors better compare its operating performance with its competitors.
