Electronics Boutique Announces Stock Buy-Back and Adopts New Accounting Method for Recognition of Vendor Allowances

 

- Early Adoption of New Accounting Method (EITF 02-16) Results in Revised Fiscal 2003 Earnings including a $4.8 Million Non-Cash Charge -

 

WEST CHESTER, Pa., May 1, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ — Electronics Boutique Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: ELBO) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a program to repurchase up to 1.5 million shares of the company’s outstanding common stock. The stock repurchases may, at the discretion of the company’s management, be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

 

The decision was prompted by Electronics Boutique’s strong cash position and the company’s current stock price, which closed at $18.70 in yesterday’s trading. The company currently has 25,891,158 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Under the buy-back program, the company may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time in compliance with SEC regulations and subject to market conditions. The program does not require the company to acquire any specific number of shares and the company may terminate the program at any time.

 

Separately, the company today announced revised financial results for its fiscal year ended February 1, 2003. This revision is solely due to the company’s election to early adopt a new method of accounting for vendor allowances retroactive to the first quarter of fiscal 2003 (the quarter ended May 4, 2002). The new method is consistent with the March 20, 2003 clarification by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of the transition rules relating to accounting for vendor allowances (“EITF 02-16”), Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor.

 

The effect of the company’s early adoption of EITF 02-16 to its fiscal 2003 results is a one-time, non-cash, after-tax charge of $4.8 million or $0.18 per diluted share, which is reflected as a “cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle” and a reduction in fiscal 2003 net income before the cumulative effect of the accounting change of $1.5 million or $0.06 per diluted share. The following is a brief description of the EITF 02-16 issue and the development of the EITF consensus for its implementation.

 

In 2002, the EITF discussed EITF 02-16, which addresses the accounting for cash consideration received from a vendor by a reseller for various vendor- funded allowances, including cooperative advertising support. The EITF determined that cash consideration received from a vendor should be presumed to be a reduction of the prices of vendors’ products and should therefore be shown as a reduction in the cost of goods sold when recognized in the reseller’s income statements. The only exceptions to this rule are if the vendor receives an identifiable benefit or if the reimbursement is for specific, incremental identifiable costs. If the amount of

 



 

cash consideration received exceeds the cost being reimbursed, that excess amount should be characterized as a reduction of cost of goods sold when recognized in the reseller’s income statements. In January 2003, the EITF issued transition guidance concluding that this interpretation should be applied to all new or modified arrangements entered into after December 31, 2002. The company adopted this transition guidance in its financial results released on March 13, 2003 for the 2003 fourth quarter and fiscal year. At a March 20, 2003 meeting, the EITF further clarified its transition guidance under EITF 02-16 indicating that an entity that has not issued financial statements is permitted to report this change in accounting as a cumulative-effect adjustment. Following its receipt of this guidance, the company elected to adopt the new method retroactive to the beginning of fiscal 2003.

 

This change in accounting principle had the following impact on the company’s reported results for fiscal 2003:

 

1)              A portion of vendor allowances is deferred and remains in inventory until the product is sold. As of February 1, 2003, $10.0 million of vendor allowances has been recorded as a reduction of inventory and will be recognized in cost of goods sold as the inventory is sold.  On an ongoing basis, it is anticipated that a portion of vendor allowances received by the company will continue to reduce inventory, as prescribed by EITF 02-16.

 

2)              The company has recorded a $7.6 million pre-tax, $4.8 million after tax, charge for the adoption of EITF 02-16. This represents the cumulative effect of this change for prior years and the deferral of vendor allowances as of the beginning of fiscal 2003.

 

3)              This change in accounting method requires the reclassification of a portion of the company’s vendor allowances earned in fiscal 2003 from selling, general and administrative expense to cost of goods sold.

(1)                                  The company decided to close its EB Kids (“EBK”) business and sell its BC Sports collectibles (“BCSC”) business at the end of fiscal 2002.  The company believes that the presentation of this information will better enable investors to analyze the results of operations of the continuing business for each period reflected. The adjusted amounts exclude the results of operations and related expenses associated with the company’s EBK and BCSC businesses in both the current and prior year periods, fiscal 2002 inventory write-down and restructuring and asset impairment charges related to these businesses, as well as the exclusion of amortization of goodwill recorded in fiscal 2002.

(1)                                  The company decided to close its EB Kids (“EBK”) business and sell its BC Sports Collectibles (“BCSC”) business at the end of fiscal 2002.  The company believes that the presentation of this information will better enable investors to analyze the results of operations of the continuing business for each period reflected. The adjusted amounts exclude the results of operations and related expenses associated with the company’s EBK and BCSC businesses in both the current and prior year periods, fiscal 2002 inventory write-down and restructuring and asset impairment charges related to these businesses, as well as the exclusion of amortization of goodwill recorded in fiscal 2002.
