NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Jamba, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company, is a healthy, active lifestyle brand with a global business driven by a portfolio of company-owned and franchised Jamba Juice® stores, innovative product platforms that utilize our JambaGO® and Jamba Smoothie Station™ formats, and Jamba-branded consumer packaged goods. As a leading “better-for-you,” specialty food and beverage brand, Jamba offers great tasting, whole fruit smoothies, fresh juices, hot oatmeal, breakfast wraps, bistro sandwiches and mini-wraps, California Flatbreads™, frozen yogurt, and a variety of baked goods and snacks in its restaurants. Jamba Juice Company has expanded the Jamba brand by direct selling of consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) products and licensing its trademarks.

 

As of July 2, 2013, there were 829 Jamba Juice stores globally, consisting of 295 Company-owned and operated stores (“Company Stores”), 492 franchise-operated stores (“Franchise Stores”) in the United States, and 42 Franchise Stores at international locations (“International Stores”).

  

Unaudited Interim Financial Information —The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 2, 2013, the condensed consolidated statements of income for each of the 13 and 26 week periods ended July 2, 2013 and for each of the 13 and 26 week periods ended July 3, 2012, respectively and the condensed statements of stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the 26 week periods ended July 2, 2013 and July 3, 2012 have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position as of July 2, 2013, and the results of operations and cash flows for the 13 and 26 week periods ended July 2, 2013 and the 13 week and 26 week periods ended July 3, 2012. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2013 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the 13 and 26 week periods ended July 2, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

  

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted from these interim financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2013 (“2012 Annual Report”).

 

Reverse Stock Split—Effective May 31, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and consummated a five-for-one reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”) of its issued and outstanding common stock, $0.001 par value per share. The Reverse Stock Split and the Certificate of Amendment were approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 14, 2013 for stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 20, 2013.

 

On the effective date, every five shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one issued and outstanding share of the Company's common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise were entitled to receive a fractional share in connection with the Reverse Stock Split instead were eligible to receive a cash payment, which was not material in the aggregate, instead of shares. All share and per share information in the accompanying financial statements have been restated retroactively to reflect the stock split.

 

Advertising Fund—The Company participates with its franchisees in an advertising fund to collect and administer funds contributed for use in advertising and promotional programs designed to increase sales and enhance the reputation of the Company and its franchise owners. Contributions to the advertising fund are required for Company Stores and traditional Franchise Stores, and are generally based on a percent of store sales. The Company has control of the advertising fund. The fund is consolidated and the Company reports all assets and liabilities of the fund that it consolidates.

 

The advertising fund assets, consisting primarily of accounts receivable from franchisees, can only be used for selected purposes and are considered restricted. The advertising fund liabilities represent the corresponding obligation arising from the receipts of the marketing program. The receipts from the franchisees are recorded as a liability against which specified advertising costs are charged. The Company does not reflect franchisee contributions to the fund in its consolidated statements of income.

 

7
 

Advertising fund assets of $0.9 million were recorded in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets as of July 2, 2013 and January 1, 2013. Advertising fund liabilities of $0.6 million and $0.5 million were recorded in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheet as of July 2, 2013 and January 1, 2013, respectively.

 

Comprehensive Income —Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events, excluding changes resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income equals net income for all periods presented. The Company currently has no components of Comprehensive Income therefore no separate statement of comprehensive income is presented.

 

Earnings Per Share —Earnings per share is computed in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260. Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities, which includes outstanding warrants and outstanding options and restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s stock option plans.

 

Anti-dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. Anti-dilutive shares of restricted stock awards, warrants and stock options of 1.7 million and 1.3 million have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding in the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013 and in the 13 week period ended July 3, 2012, respectively. Anti-dilutive shares of 1.7 million and 4.7 million have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding in the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013 and in the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012, respectively.

 

All shares of preferred stock were completely converted to shares of common stock as of July 2, 2013. For the 13 week periods ended July 2, 2013 and July 3, 2012, for purposes of determining the net income available to common stockholders used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, the amount of the income is increased by the preferred stock dividends and deemed dividends. The deemed dividend represents the accretion of the issuance costs and beneficial conversion feature of the Company’s preferred stock. For the 13 and 26 week periods ended July 2, 2013, the incremental shares from assumed exercise of restricted stock awards, warrants and stock options are dilutive. For the 13 week period ended July 3, 2012 , the convertible preferred shares are dilutive, therefore the dividends and deemed dividends related to the preferred stock have been added back to the net income available to common stockholders and the number of preferred shares have been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. For the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012, the convertible preferred shares and incremental shares from assumed exercise of restricted stock awards, warrants and stock options are anti-dilutive. The dividends and deemed dividends related to the preferred stock have not been added back to the net income available to common stockholders. Also the number of preferred shares has not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

 

The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of restricted stock awards, warrants and options was calculated by applying the treasury stock method. The “if converted” method was used for the conversion of preferred stock. Shares and per share data have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect a five-for-one reverse stock split effective May 31, 2013. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations is as follows (in thousands, except shares):

Fair Value Measurement— Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets—The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying values of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The impairment evaluation is generally performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, which for Company Stores is at the individual store asset group level. The Company first compares the carrying value of the asset to the asset’s estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is measured based on the asset’s estimated fair value. The fair value of a store’s assets is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on internal projections and taking into consideration the view of a market participant. The estimate of cash flows is based on, among other things, certain assumptions about expected future operating performance. Factors considered during the impairment evaluation include factors related to actual operating cash flows, the period of time since a store has been opened or remodeled, refranchising expectations and the maturity of the relevant market.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There has been no development to recently issued accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements from that disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

 

2. TRADE CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

In 2012, the Company entered into a Trade Credit Agreement with a California advertising agency to provide product from the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Talbott Teas, Inc. (“Talbott”), in exchange for future advertising credits (“trade credits”). The trade credits will expire in November 2017. During the 13 and 26 week periods ended July 2, 2013, the Company exchanged Talbott product for trade credits of $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. At July 2, 2013, trade credits of approximately $1.0 million are remaining and are included on the consolidated balance sheet in prepaid expenses and other current assets. These trade credits are charged to expense as they are used to purchase advertising services. The transaction was recorded at the fair value of the Talbott products provided to the advertising agency on the date of the transaction. During each of the 13 and 26 week periods ended July 3, 2012, the Company did not have trade credit agreements in place.

The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 2, 2013 and January 1, 2013 by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

 

July 2, 2013  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Liabilities:               
Contingent consideration (1)  $   $   $916 
                
January 1, 2013               
Assets:

  (2) $0.2 million included in restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2013.

  (3) $0.9 million included in other long-term liabilities and $0.4 million included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2013.

 

For assets that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs.  

 

The following table presents our assets that were accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis and remaining on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 2, 2013 and January 1, 2013. Total losses include losses recognized from all non-recurring fair value measurements for the 13 and 26 week periods ended July 2, 2013 and July 3, 2012 (in thousands):

(1) Represents the carrying value of long-lived assets against which there was an impairment charge during the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2013, and is included in property, fixtures and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Level 3 Inputs 

 

The fair value of the contingent consideration is classified as level 3 because it is based on unobservable inputs. Significant inputs and assumptions are management’s estimate of operating profits from the related business and the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the liability. The Company classified the fair value of long-lived assets as Level 3 because the value is based on unobservable inputs. The significant inputs to the fair value measurement of the long-lived assets are projected future operating results at the store level and the discount rates applied to calculate the present value of the these assets. Significant changes in any level 3 input or assumption would result in increases or decreases to fair value measurements for future impairment of the long-lived assets and for contingent consideration.

 

  

6. CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

On February 14, 2012, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Lender”) which, as amended on November 1, 2012 and July 22, 2013 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), increases the Company’s revolving line of credit from $10.0 million to $15.0 million. The outstanding balance under the amended credit facility bears interest at a LIBOR Market Index Rate based upon the rate for one month U.S. dollar deposits, plus 2.50% per annum. Under the terms of the amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain maximum consolidated leverage ratios, minimum levels of tangible net worth and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Agreement terminates July 22, 2016 or may be terminated earlier by the Company or by the Lender. This credit facility is subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Company with respect to liens, indebtedness, guaranties, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions and dispositions of assets. The credit facility is evidenced by a revolving note made by the Company in favor of the Lender, is guaranteed by the Company and is secured by substantially all of its assets including the assets of its subsidiaries and a pledge of stock of its subsidiaries. In addition, the Credit Agreement replaced restricted cash requirements established in prior periods, as the line of credit also collateralizes the Company’s outstanding letters of credit of $1.1 million as of July 2, 2013.

 

During the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013, there were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement. To acquire the credit facility, the Company incurred upfront fees which are being amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement. As of July 2, 2013 and January 1, 2013, the unamortized commitment fee amount was not material and is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. As of July 2, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all related covenants and the unused borrowing capacity under the agreement prior to the amendment on July 22, 2013, was $8.9 million.

 7. INCOME TAXES  

 

At the end of each interim period, the Company calculates an estimated annual effective tax rate based on the Company’s best estimate of the tax expense (benefit) that will be provided for the full year. The year-to-date income tax expense (benefit) is a result of applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date actual pre-tax income (loss). The interim period tax expense (benefit) is the difference between the year-to-date amount and the amounts reported for previous interim periods and then adjusted for discrete tax items, if any.

 

A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized and a full valuation allowance has been maintained against the Company’s net deferred tax assets.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for the 13 and 26 week periods ended July 2, 2013 were 3.6% and 1.8%, respectively. The effective tax rates were affected by pretax income or loss, a change in the valuation allowance related to deductible temporary differences originating during the current year, the alternative minimum taxes and foreign withholding taxes. It was also affected by a reduction of the federal income tax liability related to the net operating loss deduction for alternative minimum tax purposes.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for the 13 and 26 week periods ended July 3, 2012 were 8.9% and 6.5%, respectively. The effective tax rates were affected by pretax income or loss, a change in the valuation allowance related to deductible temporary differences originating during the current year, the alternative minimum taxes and foreign withholding taxes.

 

As of July 2, 2013, there have been no material changes to the Company’s uncertain tax positions disclosure as provided in Note 13 in the Notes to the Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2013.

2013 Second Quarter Financial Highlights

  

  Net income increased 37.5% to $6.4 million for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2013 compared to $4.6 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2012. The increase in net income was driven primarily by an:

 

  Increase in comparable Company Store sales of 2.2%, including 160 basis points related to increased traffic and 60 basis points related to average check increase.

 

14
 

 

     
  Increase in franchise and other revenue of $1.0 million.

 

  Diluted earnings per share was $0.36 for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2013, compared to $0.27 per share for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2012 resulting in a 51% increase to $6.2 million from $4.1 million, in net income available to common stockholders.

  Total revenue increased 1.9% to $67.3 million for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2013, compared to $66.0 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2012. The change in total revenue was primarily due to the increase in comparable store sales and increase in franchise and other revenue.

2013 Second Quarter Business Highlights

 

Brand Building, Total Innovation and Lifestyle Engagement

 

We focus on building total brand value through multi-channel marketing and total innovation initiatives, including consumer loyalty and engaging marketing programs and partnerships. We address consumer health and wellness needs by offering specialty beverages and new product platforms that will meet consumer needs across all day-parts.

 

We continue to seek ways to become more relevant to the consumer through product introductions like our fresh-squeezed juice, which utilizes fresh vegetables and fruits and is hand-crafted for the consumer. As of July 2, 2013, we had 23 locations that offered this platform. We continue to target up to 50 locations serving fresh-squeezed juice by the end of fiscal 2013.

 

During the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013, sales at Company Stores opened more than one full fiscal year increased 2.2% and Franchise Store comparable sales increased 1.2%, resulting in system-wide comparable store sales increase of 1.7%. The increase in Company Store comparable sales during the quarter was largely attributable to improved traffic and an average check increase.

 

Television sports commentator and former Olympic champion Summer Sanders became a Jamba spokesperson and a member of the Jamba Healthy Living Council™ during the quarter. The Council expects to benefit from her knowledge and passion for healthy living, and we anticipate that consumers seeking common sense advice for living healthier lives will be drawn to, and inspired by, Ms. Sanders’ contributions. Additionally, in April 2013, Jake Steinfeld, known for his popular “Body by Jake” brand, became a spokesperson for the Jamba brand and a member of the Healthy Living Council. Mr. Steinfeld launched the Jamba Healthy Living Fitness Council and will host promotional events and other activities in support of our new and expanded fresh-squeezed juice offerings, primarily at our Company Store in Santa Monica, California.

 

In May 2013 we successfully met our commitment to help raise funds and generate awareness for the Greater Bay Area Chapter of the American Heart Association. We engaged consumers through multi-faceted fundraising promotions in our “Whirl’d Hearts” program. In addition, our employees participated in a silent auction of donated items at our headquarters in Emeryville, California. During the quarter, we implemented various marketing promotions and consumer communications. We entered into a partnership with USA Water Polo to support a variety of activities aimed at inspiring and simplifying healthy, active lifestyles. USA Water Polo also will promote Jamba’s naturally caffeinated energy drink made with 70% juice.

 

15
 

 

In July 2013, we announced our first major theatrical motion picture promotion with The Walt Disney Company for the release of "Disney's Planes," an action-packed 3D animated comedy adventure, slated to be at theaters this summer. Jamba Juice is the exclusive Quick Service Restaurant and beverage provider in the U.S. chosen to participate in promotional activities for the movie's release.  

 

Expand Growth Initiatives, New Products, Partners, Channels and Markets

 

Our growth initiatives encompass the multiple portfolio opportunities we have to expand our restaurant business on a global basis, including traditional and non-traditional stores, smaller footprint Jamba Smoothie Stations and the JambaGO format. We believe these opportunities will position us for growth in market share, reduce capital outlays, provide better overall margins, allow us to open more locations at an accelerated rate, increase our brand presence to support other Company initiatives such as consumer products licensing and direct selling, and increase customer frequency.

 

As of July 2, 2013, we had 829 Jamba Juice stores, globally, represented by 295 Company Stores and 492 Franchise Stores in the United States, and 42 International Stores. The system is comprised of approximately 64% Franchise and International Store locations and 36% Company Store locations. During the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013, 34 Franchise Stores were opened. We expect to open 60 to 80 stores and smoothie stations by the end of fiscal 2013, globally, primarily through franchisees. The actual number of openings may differ from our expectations due to various factors, including franchisee access to capital and economic conditions.

 

Global Development

 

In the U.S. during the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013, franchisees developed and opened nine new Franchise Stores, of which one was traditional, three were non-traditional stores and six were smoothie stations. We continued expansion of our JambaGO concept in K-12 schools, convenience stores and other similar locations during the quarter. We also opened two Company Stores during the quarter. As of July 2, 2013, JambaGO is offered at 636 locations and we expect to serve approximately 1,400 to 1,500 locations by the end of fiscal 2013. Internationally, we opened two stores.

 

We expect to complete the remodel and refresh of approximately 50 store locations by the end of fiscal 2013. Our refresh and remodel program includes transforming our store layout and format to (1) provide customers with an enhanced experience in our stores by using environmentally friendly building materials, brighter lighting, updated graphics and bold colors as well as seating arrangements compatible with the individual store footprint and (2) facilitate fresh-squeezed juice bars in certain store locations.

 

In California, we have entered into development agreements with new and existing franchisees to develop 57 new Franchise Stores over the next six years, with options to open a total of nine more stores at the end of certain franchise terms. A portion of the development agreements is included in the refranchise of seven Company Stores located in California. We are working on additional packages for California, which will generate commitments to develop 27 stores with options to add a total of four more stores at the end of certain franchise terms. In addition to California, we have signed agreements to develop stores in Philadelphia, St. Louis, Kansas City, Charlotte, Nashville and Ft. Myers/Naples. These agreements represent an additional 30 new Jamba Juice stores.

We continue to explore new partnerships to extend the brand into relevant categories providing additional points of accessibility for consumers.  During the quarter, we expanded distribution of our CPG direct sell businesses, Energy Drinks and Frozen Novelties, to new channels including 3,000 Rite Aid stores and online via the retailer, Fresh Direct. Jamba-branded products continue to have a presence in all 50 states.

 

 Drive Enterprise Efficiencies

 

Our priorities are to drive overall profitability which includes improving store-level margin and returns for our system. Strong store-level economics are critical to our success and management is diligently focused on initiatives to improve these metrics.

 

We continue to experience commodity pricing pressure, particularly in areas such as dairy and fuel and our cost savings initiatives help to mitigate commodity price increases. We also focus our attention on techniques to refine our labor deployment and service tools to ensure efficient service to our customers.  

 

During the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013, our Company Store-level margins continued to improve due to the leverage of the fixed cost component in labor and store operating costs, as a result of our comparable store sales growth. Our operating margin for the quarter increased by 230 basis points or $1.6 million primarily due to growth in our CPG model and our improved store portfolio economics.

Total change in Company Store revenue  $268 

 

 

 

 

 Company Store comparable sales increased by $1.3 million for the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013, or 2.2%, and was attributable to an increase of 0.6% in average check and in transaction count of 1.6% as compared to the same period in the prior year. Company Store comparable sales represents the change in year-over-year sales for all Company Stores opened for at least a full fiscal year. As of July 2, 2013, approximately 99% of our Company Stores had been open for at least one full fiscal year.

 

Franchise and other revenue

As a percentage of Company Store revenue, labor costs decreased to 26.8% for the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013, compared to 27.4% for the 13 week period ended July 3, 2012. The 0.6 % decrease of labor costs as a percentage of Company Store revenue was primarily due to labor efficiencies, improved sales volumes and more effective wage management achieved. Labor costs for the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013 were $16.8 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1.8%, compared to $17.1 million for the 13 week period ended July 3, 2012.

As a percentage of Company Store revenue, total store operating expenses decreased to 13.6% for the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013, compared to 14.3% for the 13 week period ended July 3, 2012. The decrease in total store operating expenses as a percentage of Company Store revenue was primarily due to a decrease in marketing expense (approximately 0.3%) and leverage gained as a result of higher sales (approximately 0.5%). Total store operating expenses for the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013 were $8.5 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 4.8%, compared to $9.0 million for the 13 week period ended July 3, 2012.

As a percentage of total revenue, depreciation and amortization decreased to 4.1% for the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013, compared to 4.3% for the 13 week period ended July 3, 2012. The decrease in depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to the impact of leverage as a result of the increase in Company Store comparable sales (approximately 0.1%) and leverage gained from non-Company Store revenue (approximately 0.1%). Depreciation and amortization for the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013 was $2.8 million, remaining flat with the 13 week period ended July 3, 2012.

 

General and administrative

The decrease of total G&A expenses was primarily due to reduced semi-annual performance related incentives (approximately $1.0 million), partially offset by expenses resulting from expanding growth initiatives (approximately $0.1 million) and an increase in share-based compensation (approximately $0.3 million).

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. Expected future cash flows associated with an asset, in addition to other quantitative and qualitative analyses, including certain assumptions about expected future operating performance and changes in economic conditions are the key factors in determining undiscounted future cash flows. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the amount by which carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets for the 13 week periods ended July 2, 2013 and July 3, 2012 was $0.2 million.

Other operating, net

 

Other operating, net consists primarily of gain or loss on disposals, income from jambacard breakage, store lease termination and closure costs, pre-opening costs and expenses related to franchise and consumer packaged goods activities. For the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013, other operating, net was income of $0.1 million, compared to income of $0.2 million for the 13 week period ended July 3, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to increased expense related to consumer packaged goods activities (approximately $0.5 million), increased expenses related to franchise activities (approximately $0.4 million), an increase in estimated sales tax audit charges (approximately $0.3 million); partially offset by gain on disposal of fixed assets resulting from refranchising of (approximately $1.0 million).

 

Income tax expense

 

We recorded income tax expense of 3.6% for the 13 week period ended July 2, 2013. This is due to the pretax income, a full valuation allowance related to deductible temporary differences originating during the current year, the alternative minimum taxes and foreign withholding taxes. It is also due to a reduction of the federal income tax liability related to the net operating loss deduction for alternative minimum tax purposes.

 

We recorded income tax expense of 8.9% for the 13 week period ended July 3, 2012. Our prior year tax rate was also due to the pretax income, a full valuation allowance related to deductible temporary differences originating during the current year, the alternative minimum taxes and foreign withholding taxes.

Company Store comparable sales increased $3.1 million for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013, or 2.8%, attributable to an increase of 1.3% in average check, reflecting a price increase, and in transaction count of 1.5%. Company Store comparable sales represents the change in year-over-year sales for all Company Stores opened for at least one full fiscal year. As of July 3, 2012, approximately 99% of our Company Stores had been open for at least one full fiscal year. The percentage change in Company Store comparable sales compares the sales of Company Stores during a 26 week period in 2013 to the sales from the same Company Stores for the equivalent 26 week period in the prior year.

 

Franchise and other revenue

 

Franchise and other revenue for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013 was $8.4 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 28.3% compared to franchise and other revenue of $6.5 million for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012 primarily due to the net increase in the number of Franchise and International Stores (approximately $0.6 million) and revenue generated by our CPG business (approximately $1.3 million).

 

Cost of sales

 

Cost of sales is mostly comprised of fruit, dairy, and other products used to make smoothies and juices, paper products, costs related to managing our procurement program and vendor rebates. As a percentage of Company Store revenue, cost of sales increased to 23.9% for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013 compared to 22.7% for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. The increase of cost of sales as a percentage of Company Store revenue was primarily due to a reduction in price points resulting from promotional tactics (approximately 0.8%) and increases in commodity costs (approximately 0.4%). Cost of sales for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013 was $27.3 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 6.6%, compared to $25.6 million for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. Our refranchising strategy has resulted in a decrease in the number of Company Stores and the related costs and expenses for sales associated with these refranchised Company Stores, which was offset by Company Store comparable sales increase of 2.8% for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013.

Labor

 

Labor costs are comprised of store management salaries and bonuses, hourly team member payroll, training costs and other associated fringe benefits. As a percentage of Company Store revenue, labor costs decreased to 28.6% for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013, compared to 28.9% for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012.

Labor costs for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013 was flat at $32.6 million, compared to the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. Our refranchising strategy has resulted in a decrease in the number of Company Stores and the related labor costs and expenses to operate, manage, and support these refranchised Company Stores, which was partially offset by the increased labor costs to support the increased sales.

 

Occupancy

 

Occupancy costs include both fixed and variable portions of rent, common area maintenance charges, property taxes, licenses and property insurance for all Company Store locations. As a percentage of Company Store revenue, occupancy costs decreased to 12.9% for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013, compared to 13.1% for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. The decrease in occupancy costs as a percentage of Company store revenue was primarily due to the impact of leverage as a result of the increase in Company Store comparable sales (approximately 0.4%). Occupancy costs for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013 were $14.7 million, flat compared to the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. Our refranchising strategy has resulted in a decrease in the number of Company Stores and the related occupancy costs and expenses to operate, manage, and support these refranchised Company Stores, which was partially offset by increased occupancy costs to support the increased sales and increased common area maintenance charges.

  

Store operating

 

Store operating expenses consist primarily of various store-level costs such as utilities, marketing, repairs and maintenance, credit card fees and other store operating expenses. As a percentage of Company Store revenue, total store operating expenses decreased to 14.6% for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013, compared to 15.0% for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012.

Total store operating expenses for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013 were $16.7 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.9%, compared to $16.8 million for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. Our refranchising strategy resulted in a decrease in the number of Company Stores and the related costs and expenses to operate, manage, and support these refranchised Company Stores, which is partially offset by the increased store operating costs to support the increased sales.

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses include the depreciation of fixed assets and the amortization of intangible assets. As a percentage of total revenue, depreciation and amortization decreased to 4.5% for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013, compared to 4.8% for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. The decrease in depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to the impact of leverage as a result of the increase in Company Store comparable sales (approximately 0.2%) and leverage gained from non-Company Store revenue (approximately 0.1%). Depreciation and amortization for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013 was $5.5 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 3.4%, compared to $5.7 million for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. Our refranchising strategy resulted in a decrease in the number of Company Stores and related assets, resulting in a reduction in the carrying value of Company Store fixed assets.

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses include costs associated with our corporate headquarters in Emeryville, CA, field supervision, bonuses, outside and contract services, accounting and legal fees, travel and travel-related expenses, share-based compensation and other. As a percentage of total revenue, total G&A expenses decreased to 15.9% for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013 compared to 16.3% for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. Total G&A expenses for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013 were $19.4 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.4%, compared to $19.5 million for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. The decrease of total G&A expenses was primarily due to reduced semi-annual performance related incentives (approximately $1.0 million), partially offset by expenses resulting from expanding growth initiatives (approximately $0.4 million) an increase in health insurance costs (approximately $0.1 million) and an increase in share-based compensation ($0.4 million).

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. Expected future cash flows associated with an asset, in addition to other quantitative and qualitative analyses, including certain assumptions about expected future operating performance and changes in economic conditions are the key factors in determining undiscounted future cash flows. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the amount by which carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013 was $0.3 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 51.2%, compared to $0.6 million for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. The decrease of impairment charge for long-lived assets was primarily due to fewer underperforming stores that had not been previously partially impaired compared to the prior year period.

 

Other operating, net

 

Other operating, net consists primarily of gain or loss on disposals, income from jambacard breakage, store lease termination, and closure costs, pre-opening costs and expenses related to franchise and consumer packaged goods activities. For the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013, other operating, net was $0.5 million of expense, compared to expense of $0.2 million for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. The increase in expense is primarily due to an increase in expense related to consumer packaged goods activities (approximately $0.7 million), increased estimated sales tax audit charges (approximately $0.1 million) and franchise activities (approximately $0.5 million); partially offset by gain on disposal of fixed assets from refranchising (approximately $0.9 million).

 

Income tax expense

 

We have recorded a tax expense of 1.8% for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013. The effective tax expense was primarily due to the pretax income, a full valuation allowance related to deductible temporary differences originating during the current year, the alternative minimum taxes and foreign withholding taxes. It is also due to a reduction of the federal income tax liability related to the net operating loss deduction for alternative minimum tax purposes.

 

We have recorded a tax expense of 6.5% for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. The effective tax expense was primarily due to the pretax income, a full valuation allowance related to deductible temporary differences originating during the current year, the alternative minimum taxes and foreign withholding taxes

 

KEY FINANCIAL METRICS AND NON-GAAP MEASURES

 

Management reviews and discusses its operations based on both financial and non-financial metrics. Among the key financial metrics upon which management focuses is reviewing the performance based on the Company’s consolidated GAAP results, including Company Store comparable sales. Management also uses certain supplemental, non-GAAP financial metrics in evaluating financial results, including Franchise Store comparable sales and system-wide comparable sales.

 

Company Store comparable sales represent the change in year-over-year sales for all Company Stores opened for at least one full fiscal year.

 

Franchise Store comparable sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents the change in year-over-year sales for all Franchise Stores opened for at least one full fiscal year, as reported by franchisees and exclude International Stores.

 

System–wide comparable store sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents the change in year-over-year sales for all Company and Franchise Stores opened for at least one full fiscal year and are based on sales by both company-owned and franchise-operated stores, as reported by franchisees, which are in the store base. System-wide comparable store sales do not include International Stores and JambaGO locations.

 

Company-owned stores that were sold in refranchising transactions are included in the store base for each accounting period of the fiscal quarter in which the store was sold to the extent the sale is consummated at least three days prior to the end of such accounting period, but only for the days such stores have been company-owned. Thereafter, such stores are excluded from the store base until such stores have been franchise-operated for at least one full fiscal year at which point such stores are included in the store base and compared to sales in the comparable period of the prior year. Comparable store sales exclude closed locations.

 

Management reviews the increase or decrease in Company Store comparable store sales, Franchise Store comparable sales and system-wide comparable sales compared with the same period in the prior year to assess business trends and make certain business decisions. The Company believes that Franchise Store comparable sales and system-wide comparable sales data, non-GAAP financial measures, are useful in assessing the overall performance of the Jamba brand and, ultimately, the performance of the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Cash Flows Summary

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the 26 week periods ended July 2, 2013 and July 3, 2012 (in thousands):

 

         
   26 Week
Period Ended
July 2, 2013
   26 Week
Period Ended
July 3, 2012
 
Net cash provided by operating activities  $7,425   $11,849 
Net cash used in investing activities   (6,853)   (2,170)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities   515    (751)
           
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents  $1,087   $8,928 

 

Liquidity

 

As of July 2, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $32.6 million compared to $31.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of January 1, 2013. As of July 2, 2013 and January 1, 2013, we had no short term or long term debt. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities. In addition, we have an existing $15.0 million revolving line of credit, which we may utilize as described further below. In the future, we may enter equipment leasing arrangements and incur additional indebtedness as necessary. We cannot assure, however, that such financing will be available on favorable terms or at all. All shares of the Series B Preferred Stock were completely converted as of June 14, 2013. As a result, the Company no longer has payments of annual dividends on Preferred Stock.

 

We expect that our cash on hand and future cash flows provided by operating activities will be sufficient to fund our working capital and general corporate needs, and the non-discretionary capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. Our primary liquidity and capital requirements are for working capital and general corporate needs and the planned fiscal 2013 capital expenditures described below. The use of cash to fund discretionary capital expenditures will be based on the need to conserve our capital.

 

On February 14, 2012, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Lender”) which, as amended on November 1, 2012 and July 22, 2013 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), increases the Company’s revolving line of credit from $10.0 million to $15.0 million. The outstanding balance under the amended credit bears interest at a LIBOR Market Index Rate based upon the rate for one month U.S. dollar deposits, plus 2.50% per annum. Under the terms of the amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain maximum consolidated leverage ratios, minimum levels of tangible net worth and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Agreement terminates July 22, 2016, or may be terminated earlier by us or by the Lender. This credit facility is subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on us with respect to liens, indebtedness, guaranties, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions and dispositions of assets. The credit facility is evidenced by a revolving note made by us in favor of the Lender, is guaranteed by us and is secured by substantially all of our assets including the assets of our subsidiaries and a pledge of stock of our subsidiaries. In addition, the Credit Agreement replaced restricted cash requirements established in prior periods, as the line of credit also collateralizes our outstanding letters of credit of $1.1 million.

 

During the 26 week period ended and as of July 2, 2013, there were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement. To acquire the credit facility, we incurred upfront fees which are being amortized over the term of the credit agreement. As of July 2, 2013, the unamortized commitment fee amount was not material and is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the balance sheet. As of July 2, 2013, we were in compliance with all related covenants and the unused borrowing capacity under the agreement prior to the amendment on July 22, 2013, was $8.9 million.

 

The adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including the macroeconomic environment, the operating performance of our Company Stores, the successful expansion of our franchise and licensing programs and the successful rollout and consumer acceptance of our new beverage and food initiatives. Given these factors, our foremost priorities for the near term continue to be preserving and generating cash sufficient to fund our liquidity needs.

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.4 million for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013, compared to $11.8 million for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012, reflecting a net decrease of cash flows of $4.4 million. This decrease was primarily due to a net increase in cash used in accounts payable, accrued compensation and other liabilities and assets (approximately $5.2 million) partially offset by an increase in net income adjusted for noncash items (approximately $0.8 million).

26
 

 

The amount of cash provided by our operating activities during any particular quarter is highly subject to variations in the seasons, with the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year encompassing the winter and holiday season when we traditionally generate our lowest revenue, and our second and third quarters of the fiscal year encompassing the warmer seasons where a significant portion of our revenue and cash flows are realized. For more information on seasonality, refer to the section below entitled “Seasonality and Quarterly Results ..” We also expect to have increased expenditures during the first part of the fiscal year as we invest in product development and domestic expansion with the goal to have new products released and new stores open by mid-year to take advantage of the busier summer months.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $6.9 million for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013, compared to $2.2 million for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. Net cash used in investing activities increased $4.7 million for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013, primarily due to expenditure on property and equipment (approximately $6.1 million) partially offset by proceeds from the sale of Company Stores to franchise partners (approximately $1.4 million).

 

In fiscal 2013, we expect capital expenditures to be in the range of $10.0 million to $11.0 million depending on our liquidity needs, including investing in improvements to our technology infrastructure, store refreshes and redesigns as well as maintenance capital. We expect to open up to five new Company Stores as we focus our growth on implementing our new retail growth formats including juice bars and drive-thru locations. As part of our capital expenditure, we expect to incur $4.0 million to $6.0 million on the refresh of up to 50 Company Store locations, some of which will include the new fresh juice bar concept.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.5 million for the 26 week period ended July 2, 2013 and net cash used in financing activities was $0.8 million for the 26 week period ended July 3, 2012. The $1.3 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to receipts from exercise of stock options by employees (approximately $0.5 million) and the decrease in dividend payments on our Series B preferred stock (approximately $0.7 million). We no longer have payments of dividend on Series B preferred stock as the conversion to common stock was completed on June 14, 2013.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

There have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations table as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2013, other than obligations with respect to dividends payable in connection with, or payments for redemption of our outstanding Series B-1 and Series B-2 Preferred Stock. The conversion of shares of Series B preferred stock to common stock was completed on June 14, 2013.

 

 

COMMODITY PRICES, AVAILABILITY AND GENERAL RISK CONDITIONS

 

We contract for significant amounts of individually quick frozen fruit, fruit concentrate and dairy products to support the needs of both our Company Stores and Franchise Stores. The price and availability of these commodities directly impacts our results of operations and can be expected to impact our future results of operations.

 

 

SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS

 

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. We expect to realize significant portions of our revenue during the second and third quarters of the fiscal year, which align with the warmer summer season. In addition, quarterly results are affected by the timing of the opening of new stores and weather conditions. However, geographic diversification of our store locations may conceal or diminish the financial statement impact of such seasonal influences. Because of the seasonality of our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year or any subsequent quarter.

 

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to adopt accounting policies and make significant judgments and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in the financial statements. In many cases, there are alternative policies or estimation techniques that could be used. We maintain a process to review the application of our accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the many estimates that we are required to make in order to prepare the financial statements. However, even under optimal circumstances, estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and the receipt of new or better information. There have been no significant changes to the policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January1, 2013.

ITEM  3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The following discussion of market risks contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the following discussion based on general conditions in the financial and commodity markets.

 

We purchase fruit based on short-term seasonal pricing agreements. These short-term agreements generally set the price of procured frozen fruit and 100% fruit juice concentrates for less than one year based on estimated annual requirements. In order to mitigate the effects of price changes in any one commodity on its cost structure, we contract with multiple suppliers both domestically and internationally. These agreements typically set the price for some or all of our estimated annual fruit requirements, protecting us from short-term volatility. Nevertheless, these agreements typically contain a force majeure clause, which, if utilized (such as when hurricanes in 2004 destroyed the Florida orange crop and more recently with the freeze that affected California citrus), may subject us to significant price increases.

 

Our pricing philosophy is not to attempt to change consumer prices with every move up or down of the commodity market, but to take a longer term view of managing margins and the value perception of our products in the eyes of our customers. Management’s objective is to maximize our revenue through increased customer frequency. However, management has the ability to increase certain menu prices in response to food commodity prices.

 

We do not purchase derivative instruments on the open market.

 

We are subject to changes in the risk free interest rate in connection with the cash we hold in interest bearing accounts.

 

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and our subsidiaries required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of July 2, 2013.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
