Leon's Furniture Limited - 2013 Third Quarter

USA - English

TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2013 /CNW/ - The Board is pleased to announce the 2013 third quarter results of Leon's Furniture Limited, which represents our second full quarter with The Brick Limited under the ownership of our Company. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, total Leon's system wide sales were $628,619,000 including $100,017,000 of franchise sales ($223,680,000 including $49,505,000 franchise sales in 2012). Same store sales were down 1% compared to the prior year third quarter assuming The Brick stores were included. Net income was $21,283,000, 30¢ per common share ($13,058,000, 19¢ per common share in 2012), an increase of 58% per common share. The sales and income increase in the quarter compared to the prior quarter were mainly a result of the inclusion of the operating results of The Brick Limited.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, total Leon's system wide sales were $1,405,555,000 including $233,936,000 of franchise sales ($632,053,000 including $138,352,000 of franchise sales in 2012) and net income was $41,152,000, 58¢ per common share ($30,661,000, 44¢ per common share in 2012), an increase of 32% per common share. These figures include The Brick Limited results since March 28, 2013.

While the businesses of Leon's and The Brick continue to operate under their separate banners, the management teams are working closely together to leverage the best practices of each for the benefit of the entire Company. We have made good progress on the integration to date and continue to identify more opportunities to realize on the benefits of this acquisition. While we recognize it will be a challenging period for the Company, we believe our customers and shareholders will benefit from our actions.

As previously announced, we paid a quarterly 10¢ dividend on October 4, 2013. Today we are pleased to announce that the Board of Directors have declared a quarterly dividend of 10¢ per common share payable on the 6th day of January 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on the 6th day of December 2013. In addition, the annual dividend on the convertible non-voting preferred shares of 20¢ will be payable on January 6, 2014 to the shareholders of record at the close of business on December 6, 2013. As of 2007, dividends paid by Leon's Furniture Limited are "eligible dividends" pursuant to the changes to the Income Tax Act under Bill C-28, Canada.

Effective December 31, 2013, Dr. Joseph Leon will retire as a Director of the Company. As an original Director, Dr. Joseph Leon has provided our Company with years of wise counsel for which we are extremely grateful. He will be replaced by Mr. Joseph Michael Leon.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
Dated: November 14, 2013

The Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for Leon's Furniture Limited/Meubles Leon Ltée ("Leon's" or the "Company") should be read in conjunction with i) the Company's 2012 audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes and MD&A and ii) the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the related notes.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This MD&A is intended to provide readers with the information that management believes is required to gain an understanding of Leon's Furniture Limited's current results and to assess the Company's future prospects. This MD&A, and in particular the section under heading "Outlook", includes forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and reflect Leon's Furniture Limited's current plans and expectations. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and future prospects to differ materially from current expectations. Some of the factors that can cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations are: a continuing slowdown in the Canadian economy; a further drop in consumer confidence; dependency on product from third party suppliers and changes to the Canadian bank lending rates. Given these economic risks and uncertainties and the integration risk associated with the acquisition of The Brick Limited, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Readers of this report are cautioned that actual events and results may vary.

Financial Statements Governance Practice

Leon's Furniture Limited's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The amounts expressed are in Canadian dollars. Per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, before and after considering the potential dilutive effects of the convertible debt for the applicable period.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Leon's Furniture Limited reviewed the MD&A and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and recommended that the Board of Directors approve them. Following review by the full Board, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and MD&A were approved on November 14, 2013.

Introduction

On November 11, 2012, Leon's Furniture Limited and The Brick Ltd. ("The Brick") announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement (the "Leon's Arrangement") that provided for Leon's to acquire 100% of The Brick's outstanding common shares for $5.40 per outstanding common share, and to acquire for cancellation 100% of the outstanding common share purchase warrants for $4.40 per common share purchase warrant.

Immediately upon completion of the Leon's Arrangement, which occurred on March 28, 2013, all outstanding common shares and common share purchase warrants were repurchased in accordance with the Leon's Arrangement and are no longer listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.  The total consideration paid to shareholders and warrant holders of The Brick was approximately $700 million. As a result of this transaction, 100% of The Brick's common shares are owned by Leon's Furniture Limited.

With the acquisition of The Brick, Leon's Furniture Limited is now the largest retailer of furniture, appliances and electronics in Canada. The Brick's retail banners include The Brick; United Furniture Warehouse; The Brick Mattress Store and Brick Clearance Centres. Finally, the addition of The Brick's Midnorthern Appliance banner alongside the Appliance Canada banner, makes the Company the country's largest commercial retailer of appliances to builders, developers, hotels and property management companies.

As a result of this major acquisition, Leon's now has in excess of 300 retail stores from coast to coast in Canada under the various banners indicated below, which also includes over 100 franchise locations.

Revenues and Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, total system wide sales were $628,619,000, which includes $528,602,000 of corporate sales and $100,017,000 of franchise sales, ($223,680,000, which includes $174,175,000 of corporate sales and $49,505,000 of franchise sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012).

Leon's third quarter 2013 same store sales, including The Brick banners, were down 1% assuming The Brick stores were included in the Company's comparative 2012 results.

Leon's banner franchise sales of $49,805,000 in the third quarter of 2013, increased by $300,000 or less than 1%, compared to the third quarter of 2012. The Brick banner franchise sales of $50,212,000 in the third quarter of 2013, increased by $1,305,000 or 2.7% compared to the third quarter of 2012 assuming The Brick stores were included in the Company's comparative 2012 results. Most of the increase in sales is attributable to five new franchises added since the third quarter of 2012.

Gross margin for the third quarter 2013 of 42.9% was up from the 40.9% gross margin experienced in the third quarter of 2012.

Net operating expenses of $190,490,000 were up $136,236,000 from the third quarter of 2012. The increase compared to the comparative period was mainly due to expenses relating to the inclusion of The Brick's operations since its acquisition on March 28, 2013. Excluding this factor, operating expenses were in line with the prior comparative period.

As a result of the above, net income for the third quarter of 2013 was $21,283,000, $0.30 per common share ($13,058,000, $0.19 per common share in 2012), an increase of $0.11 per common share or 58% from the prior year quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, total system wide sales were $1,405,555,000 including $233,936,000 of franchise sales ($632,053,000 including $138,352,000 of franchise sales in 2012) and net income was $41,152,000, $0.58 per common share ($30,661,000, $0.44 per common share in 2012), an increase of  32% per common share. These figures include The Brick Limited results since March 28, 2013.

In the first quarter of 2013 we celebrated grand openings of a new 42,000 sq. ft. Leon store in Orangeville, Ontario and a 36,000 sq. ft. store in Brantford, Ontario. In the second quarter of 2013, we celebrated the grand opening of a new 50,000 sq, ft. Leon store in Sherbrooke, Quebec. In the 3rd quarter of 2013, we celebrated grand openings of a new Leon franchise store in Saint-Georges, Quebec and two new Brick franchise stores in Collingwood, Ontario and Swan River, Manitoba. In addition, we have secured land for a new store in Rocky View County, Alberta, which is just north of Calgary.

Disclosure Controls & Procedures

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that all material information relating to the Company is gathered and reported on a timely basis to senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer so that appropriate decisions can be made by them regarding public disclosure. Based on the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as at September 30, 2013.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management is also responsible for establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  and  internal  controls  over financial reporting for the Company. The control framework used in the design of disclosure controls  and  procedures  and  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  the  internal  control integrated framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Management,  including  the  CEO  and  CFO,  does  not  expect  that  the  Company's  disclosure controls  or  internal  controls  over  financial  reporting  will  prevent  or  detect  all  errors  and  all fraud or will be effective under all potential future conditions. A control system is subject to inherent  limitations  and,  no  matter  how  well  designed  and  operated,  can  provide  only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives will be met.

During  the  three and nine  months  ended  September 30, 2013,  other than as  noted  below,  there have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that have  materially  affected,  or  are  reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect,  the  Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company acquired The Brick Limited on March 28, 2013. Management has not yet assessed the design or operating effectiveness of the Brick's disclosure controls and procedures and the procedures and internal controls over financial reporting.

Outlook

Overall we are very pleased with the significant increase in sales and solid profit growth we have experienced with the purchase of The Brick since the acquisition on March 28, 2013. Even though we continue to see poor economic growth, we expect to see improved sales and profits for the balance of the year, as a result of the acquisition of The Brick.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In order to provide additional insight into the business, the Company has provided the measure of same store sales, in the revenue and expenses section above.  This measure does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") but it is a key indicator used by the Company to measure performance against prior period results. Comparable store sales are defined as sales generated by stores that have been open or closed for more than 12 months on a yearly basis. The reconciliation between total corporate sales (an IFRS measure) and comparable store sales is provided below:

($ in thousands)	Quarter Ended Sept 30, 2013	Quarter Ended Sept 30, 2012
Revenue^1 Adjustments for stores not in both fiscal periods^2	528,602 (895)	542,695 (8,600)
Comparable store sales	527,707	534,095

¹The corporate sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 include The Brick results for comparative purposes.

²For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, there are six locations excluded for the adjustments for stores not in both fiscal periods.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Leon's Furniture Limited

Amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars except share amounts and earnings per share

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Leon's Furniture Limited ("Leon's" or the "Company") was incorporated by Articles of Incorporation under the Business Corporations Act on February 28, 1969. Leon's is a retailer of home furnishings, mattresses, electronics and appliances across Canada.  On March 28, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the common shares and warrants of The Brick Ltd. ("The Brick") [note 5].  The operations of The Brick are included in the Company's results from operations and financial position commencing March 28, 2013.  Leon's is a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX - LNF, LNF.DB) and is incorporated and domiciled in Canada. The address of the Company's head and registered office is 45 Gordon Mackay Road, Toronto, Ontario, M9N 3X3.

The Company's business is seasonal in nature. Retail sales are traditionally higher in the third and fourth quarters.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").  Accordingly, certain information and note disclosure normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the IASB, have been omitted or condensed.  The financial statements of the Company include the financial results of Leon's Furniture Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on November 14, 2013.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Except for the adoption of the new, revised or amended accounting standards noted below, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the annual consolidated financial statements of Leon's for the year ended December 31, 2012. The disclosure contained in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements does not include all requirements in IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The Company operates in one geographical segment (Canada) and one industry (sale of home furnishings, appliances and electronics). Accordingly, no segment information has been provided in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Amendments issued but not yet adopted

IAS 36, Impairment of Assets has been amended to address the disclosure of information about the recoverable amount of impaired assets if that amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal.  In addition, the amendments require an entity to disclose the discount rate that was used in a present value technique in order to determine the recoverable amount of an impaired asset.  The amendments are to be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on our after January 1, 2014.  Earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the implementation of the amendment to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of new, revised or amended accounting standards

The following is a description of the adoption of new, revised or amended accounting standards that are relevant to the Company:

[i]	Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, which replaces SIC-12, Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities and parts of IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.  IFRS 10 requires an entity to consolidate an investee when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.  The adoption of IFRS 10 had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.
[ii]	Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, which replaces SIC-13, Jointly Controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributions be Venturers and IAS 31, Joint Ventures.  IFRS 11 requires an entity to classify its interest in a joint arrangement as a joint operation or joint venture.  Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, while for joint operations, the entity recognizes its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related of the joint operation.  The adoption of IFRS 11 had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.
[iii]	Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities.  IFRS 12 establishes disclosure requirements for interests in other entities such as subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities.  The standard carries forward existing disclosure requirements from other IFRSs and also introduces significant additional disclosure that addresses the nature of, and risks associate with, an entity's interests in other entities.  The adoption of IFRS 12 had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.
[iv]	Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement.  IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The adoption of IFRS 13 had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.
[v]	Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.  The IASB amended IAS 1 by revising how certain items are presented in OCI.  Items within OCI that may be reclassified to profit and loss will be separated from items that will not.  The impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the Company is that of requiring additional disclosures than currently presented.

4. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to:

• ensure sufficient liquidity to support its financial obligations and execute its operating and strategic plans;
• utilize working capital to negotiate favourable supplier agreements both in respect of early payment discounts and overall payment terms; and
• to maintain a capital structure that supports keeping capital costs to a minimum.

The capital structure of the Company has changed from the prior fiscal year.  The capital structure now includes convertible debentures, finance lease liabilities, loans and borrowings, and borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit facilities (Note 11).  The revolving credit facilities remain undrawn as at September 30, 2013.

Under the senior secured credit agreement, the financial and non-financial covenants are reviewed on an ongoing basis by management to monitor compliance with the agreement.  The Company was in compliance with these key covenants as at September 30, 2013.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements, other than with respect to its insurance subsidiaries.

5. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquisition of The Brick

On March 28, 2013, the Company acquired control of The Brick by purchasing 100% of its issued and outstanding shares and warrants. The Brick is a retailer of home furnishings, mattresses, appliances and electronics that was founded in Edmonton, Alberta in 1971. The Brick operates stores across Canada under the following corporate and franchise banners: The Brick, Urban Brick, The Brick Mattress Stores, United Furniture Warehouse and Midnorthern Appliances, which is part of The Brick's Commercial Sales Division. This acquisition allows the Company to strengthen and enhance its existing retail operations, grow the Company's franchise network and to further expand its Canadian geographical footprint to more than 300 combined retail locations from coast to coast.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, The Brick contributed revenue of $683,300 to the Company's results from the date of acquisition of March 28, 2013.

The acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred is as follows:

Cash									$	586,023
Convertible debenture										100,000
Total consideration transferred									$	686,023

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price at fair value to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at the acquisition date is as follows:

Cash	$	31,069
Trade and other receivables		55,986
Income taxes receivable		18
Inventories		162,138
Other assets		7,905
Available for sale financial assets		13,279
Property, plant and equipment		229,271
Investment properties		14,400
Intangible assets		418,535
Trade and other payables		(145,309)
Customer deposits		(52,221)
Share based compensation plans		(2,292)
Deferred warranty plan revenue and unearned insurance revenue		(104,342)
Provisions		(5,479)
Debentures		(36,156)
Finance lease liability		(143,693)
Income taxes payable		(10,994)
Deferred income tax liabilities		(114,040)
Total net identifiable assets	$	318,075

Final valuations of certain items are not yet complete due to the inherent complexity associated with valuations.  Therefore, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to adjustment on completion of the valuation process and analysis of resulting tax effects. Trade and other receivables include gross contractual amounts receivable of $57,001 net of an allowance of $1,015, which represents management's best estimate of the contractual cash flows not expected to be collected. The Company determined the above fair values based on discounted cash flows, market information, independent valuations and management's estimates.

During the measurement period, certain adjustments were made to the preliminary purchase price allocation reflecting updates to the estimated fair values of net assets acquired.  The adjustments primarily impacted property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

Goodwill was recognized as a result of the acquisition as follows:

Total consideration transferred									$	686,023
Less: Total net identifiable assets										(318,075)
Goodwill									$	367,948

None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company has incurred acquisition related costs of $7,638 for the nine months ended relating to external legal, advisory fees and due diligence costs. These costs have been included in general and administrative expenses in the interim consolidated statements of income. Total acquisition costs incurred to date as at September 30, 2013 by the Company were $14,023.

6. INVENTORIES

The amount of inventory recognized as an expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 was $664,414 (period ended September 30, 2012 - $286,550), which is presented within cost of sales on the interim consolidated statements of income.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2013, there was $1,135 in inventory writedowns (three month period ended September 30, 2012 - $80). As at September 30, 2013, the inventory markdown provision totaled $9,276 (as at December 31, 2012 - $5,652). There were no reversals of any write-down for the period ended September 30, 2013 (period ended September 30, 2012 - nil).

These loans are repayable through the application against the loans of any dividends on the shares with any remaining balance repayable on the date the shares are converted to common shares. Each issued and fully paid for series 2005, series 2009 and series 2012 share may be converted into one common share at any time after the fifth anniversary date of the issue of these shares and prior to the tenth anniversary of such issue.
