The increase in net income for the six months ended February 28, 2010 for the United States Operations segment as compared to net income for the six months ended February 28, 2009 is primarily due to the increase, beginning in fiscal year 2010, of the royalty rates charged by the United States to the Company's foreign subsidiaries with respect to licensing of trademarks and other intellectual property rights.

The economic slowdown in the U.S. and other major world economies continues to have a negative effect on the economies of those countries where PriceSmart operates. Lower expatriate remittances, reduced U.S. demand for exports from Central America (particularly affecting the assembly (“maquila”) export sector in Guatemala, Honduras and the Dominican Republic), and reduced tourism from the U.S. and Europe (particularly affecting Caribbean markets) are all contributing to a generally weak economic environment in many of the Company’s markets. However, the Company is beginning to see signs that consumer spending in our warehouse clubs is improving from what appears to have been a low point in the third calendar quarter of 2009. These include:
|
|
o
|
Sales of non-consumable merchandise has increased in the most recent fiscal quarter after declining in each of the prior three fiscal quarters when compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.
|
|
o
|
The decline in the dollar value of the average transaction, which had been 3.2%, 4.8%, and 4.1% in each of the prior three fiscal quarters when compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year, was only slightly negative at a decline of 0.6% in the most recent fiscal quarter compared to the same quarter in the last fiscal year.
|
|
o
|
Comparable warehouse club sales percentage growth has been trending upward over the past five months from a negative growth rate of 1.1% in September to a reduced negative growth of 0.3% in October followed by positive comparable warehouse club sales growth of 0.8%, 3.5%, 5.8%, and 7.1% in November, December, January, and February, respectively.

Many PriceSmart markets are susceptible to foreign currency exchange rate volatility. Currency exchange rate changes either increase or decrease the cost of imported products and can have an effect on the reported sales of the consolidated company when local currency denominated sales are translated to U.S. dollars. In addition, the Company revalues all U.S. dollar denominated liabilities within those markets that do not use the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. These liabilities include, but are not limited to, the value of items shipped from the U.S. to our foreign markets. Approximately 48% of the Company’s net warehouse sales are comprised of products imported into the markets where PriceSmart warehouse clubs are located. Products imported for sale in PriceSmart markets are purchased in U.S. dollars, but approximately 79% of the Company’s net warehouse sales are in foreign currencies. In general, local currencies in PriceSmart markets have declined relative to the dollar, but the Guatemalan quetzale and the Costa Rican colone recently have appreciated relative to the dollar. We adjust prices on U.S. dollar goods on a periodic basis to maintain our target margins after taking into account changes in exchange rates. As a result, declines in local currencies relative to the dollar effectively increase the cost to the Company’s members of imported products, while appreciation in local currencies makes imported products more affordable. With respect to locally acquired merchandise sold in the Company’s warehouse clubs, which accounts for approximately 52% of net warehouse sales, the Company’s margins are not affected by changes in exchange rates and therefore the Company does not adjust prices of these products to address changes in exchange rates. However, in the case of locally acquired merchandise, a decline in local currency rates relative to the U.S. dollar will decrease the reported year over year sales of the Company when expressed in U.S. dollars. Conversely, a strengthening of local currency rates relative to the U.S. dollar will increase the reported year over year sales. With respect to the revaluation of liabilities, the Company recognizes the revaluation (either positive or negative) as an element of net warehouse cost of goods sold and indicates the dollar value of that revaluation, net of reserves, in the discussion on warehouse gross margins. The Company seeks to reduce U.S. dollar denominated liabilities by obtaining local currency loans from banks within certain markets where it is economical to do so and where the risk of devaluation or the level of U.S. dollar denominated liabilities is high. For example, the Company has local currency denominated long term loans in Guatemala and Barbados. As of February 28, 2010, the Company had U.S. dollar denominated liabilities subject to revaluation of $70.3 million. The Company seeks to reduce U.S. dollar denominated liabilities by obtaining local currency loans from banks within certain markets where it is economical to do so and where the risk of devaluation or the level of U.S. dollar denominated liabilities is high. For example, the Company recently instituted a local currency denominated long term loan in Honduras ($6.0 million, U.S.$ equivalent). The Company also has local currency denominated long term loans in Guatemala and Barbados. The Company is not aware of any material trends or uncertainties regarding the currencies of any other markets that the Company expects will have a material impact on the Company or its operations in future periods. However, there is no way to accurately forecast how currencies may trade in the future and, as a result, the Company cannot accurately project the impact of the change in rates on the Company’s reported sales or financial results.

|
To help achieve pricing leadership and maintain a competitive advantage, the Company performs comparison shopping in its markets and where necessary targets a lower mark-up on the cost of certain merchandise which has the effect of lowering prices for that merchandise.
|
|
·
|
The Company’s ongoing focus is to improve the value proposition for its members. This involves negotiating lower prices with vendors, reducing supply chain costs for the movement of merchandise from the U.S. to its warehouse clubs, and operating the warehouse clubs in an efficient low cost shopping format where pallet-ready merchandise is moved directly from receiving to the sales floor. The strong growth in sales that the Company has experienced over the last three years has improved the Company’s buying power from merchandise suppliers due to the larger purchasing quantities. Additionally, leveraging of costs through the supply chain results from economies of scale in such things as increased utilization of full container shipments. These savings, when realized, are passed on to our members through lower merchandise prices which in turn further increases sales volume. The Company believes that it can continue to realize savings resulting from cost leverage on increased sales volume through its negotiations with suppliers and from operating efficiencies within its distribution centers and warehouse clubs.

During the first six months of fiscal year 2010, the Company contracted for the use of a free trade zone distribution center in Miami, Florida. The Company will incur distribution charges on a per unit basis for this distribution center. The Company entered into a new lease amendment for its Miami frozen distribution center on August 31, 2009, providing for an expansion of 5,000 square feet of leased frozen and refrigerated space, which will meet the Company’s projected capacity needs for at least the next year, during which time the Company will evaluate the need to relocate to a larger facility. In August 2009, fiscal year 2009, the Company eliminated the Panama distribution center for which the Company incurred distribution charges on a per unit basis. In fiscal year 2008, the Company signed a lease for a larger dry distribution center in Miami, Florida. These actions have permitted the Company to more efficiently service the PriceSmart warehouse club locations, to reduce transit times for merchandise shipped between the U.S. and its warehouse club locations and to realize per unit cost saving in distribution operating expenses by improving the flow of merchandise through the facility and reducing handling costs.

The Company offers a co-branded credit card to PriceSmart members in Central America in cooperation with a bank in the region, Credomatic. During fiscal year 2009 the Company introduced the co-branded program in its Caribbean markets, except for Aruba, in cooperation with a bank in that region, Scotiabank. The programs allow for savings in credit card processing fees when the co-branded card is used at the warehouse club as well as providing benefits to club members. Management anticipates that as more members obtain and use the card, the Company will see increased savings related to credit card costs. Working with Credomatic and Scotiabank, the Company seeks to increase the use of the co-branded cards in those markets in the future. In the most recent six month period, bank and credit card expenses improved three basis points as a percent of sales compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.
|
|
·
|
The Company continues to evaluate sites for additional PriceSmart locations. Although a specific target for new warehouse club openings beyond fiscal year 2010 has not been set, management believes that there are opportunities to add locations in certain PriceSmart markets. In that regard, the Company announced on December 23, 2009 that it had acquired 30,000 square meters of land in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on December 22, 2009. The Company plans to construct a new warehouse club on the site, which would be the second club in Santo Domingo and the third in the Dominican Republic. Currently, the Company expects to open this new warehouse club in the fall of 2010. In addition, the Company continues to examine Colombia as a potential new market for multiple PriceSmart warehouse clubs.

Most PriceSmart real estate is owned rather than leased. Real estate ownership provides a number of advantages as compared to leasing, including lower operating expenses, flexibility to expand or otherwise enhance PriceSmart buildings, long-term control over the use of the property and the residual value that the real estate may have in future years. In the course of acquiring sites, the Company may have to purchase more land than is actually needed for the warehouse club operation. As an example, the transaction in which the Company acquired the Alajuela site in Costa Rica included the purchase of land for the PriceSmart warehouse club and a joint venture with the seller on the balance of the property. PriceSmart entered into a similar real estate transaction with respect to the soon-to-be-opened Brisas site in Panama City. To the extent that the Company acquires property in excess of what is needed for the warehouse club, the objective is to either sell or develop the excess property. The excess properties at Alajuela and Brisas are being held for development by the 50/50 joint ventures. A similar development strategy is being employed for excess land at the new San Fernando, Trinidad location which property is owned 100% by PriceSmart. The profitable sale or development of real estate is highly dependent on real estate market conditions. At the present time, market conditions in these markets are not strongly conducive to property development, but the Company expects to find suitable tenants or acquirers in the future for its property development projects.

Net warehouse club sales increased 6.5% over the prior year, resulting from the opening of a new warehouse club in Costa Rica in April 2009. Comparable warehouse club sales (that is, sales in warehouse clubs that have been open for greater than 13 1/2 calendar months) for the 26 weeks ending February 28, 2010 grew 2.8%.
|
|
·
|
Membership income for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 increased 8.3% to $9.5 million as a result of a 7% increase in membership accounts from February 28, 2009 to February 28, 2010 and continued strong renewal rates at 84%.
|
|
·
|
Gross profits (net warehouse club sales less associated cost of goods sold) increased 9.3% over the prior year due to increased warehouse sales, and an increase in gross margin of 39 basis points as a percent of net warehouse sales largely related to the effect of foreign exchange rate movements.
|
|
·
|
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 10 basis points higher, as a percentage of sales than the same period last year reflecting the costs associated with an additional warehouse club and the effect of higher payroll costs in the comparable warehouse clubs on 2.8% comparable sales growth.
|
|
·
|
Operating income for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $36.7 million, an increase of $4.3 million over the first six months of fiscal year 2009.
|
|
·
|
Net income for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $24.2 million, or $0.81 per diluted share.
