COSTA
“I’m proud of our performance and execution during a challenging
third quarter,” said Richard Woolcott, Volcom’s president and chief executive
officer. “Our team continues to maximize the brand’s strength while
focusing on quality, integrity and long term sustainability. We have also
been receiving good feedback from our retailers regarding our Spring 2007
collection, as well as our new product extensions. Additionally, we are currently on schedule to
take direct control of
Operating
income for the third quarter of 2006 was $15.6 million, compared with $15.4
million for the third quarter of 2005.
Operating margin was 25.5% for the third quarter of 2006, compared with
30.2% in the third quarter of 2005.
Net income for the third quarter of 2006, which includes a
provision for income taxes using a 39.3% tax rate, decreased 10.0% to
$10.2 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared with net income of
$11.3 million for the third quarter of 2005, which included a provision for
income taxes using a 29.8% tax rate, or $0.47 per diluted share.
In connection with the completion of its initial public offering
during 2005, the company changed its tax status from an S corporation to a C
corporation. As a result, the company recorded a provision for income taxes for
the third quarter of 2005 using a 29.8% tax rate, which reflected the rate
necessary to bring the 2005 year-to-date provision for income taxes in line
with the company’s 2005 annual tax rate of 26.5%. The company recorded a
provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2006 using a 39.3% tax
rate, which reflects the rate necessary to bring the 2006 year-to-date
provision for income taxes in line with the company’s 2006 annual tax rate of
39.8%.
2006 Outlook
Based on strong
third quarter performance and current visibility regarding the remainder of the
year, the company increased its financial guidance. Fully diluted earnings per share now are
expected to be in the range of $1.16 to $1.17, up from the previous estimate of
$1.12 to $1.14 per diluted share. This
includes non-cash stock-based compensation expense of approximately $900,000,
or $0.02 cents per diluted share. The
company also raised its 2006 annual revenue guidance to approximately 27% over
last year, or $203 million to $204 million, up from the previous revenue guidance
of $200 million to $203 million.
In
putting forth this outlook, the company reminds investors of the complexity of
accurately assessing future revenue growth given the difficulty in predicting
fashion trends and consumer preferences, boardsports popularity and
participation rates, sales to key retailers and general economic conditions
that could affect the business environment.
Fully
diluted shares outstanding for the full year of 2006 are expected to be
approximately 24.4 million.
The company will host a conference call today at approximately
