Shutterfly Announces Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Shutterfly announced second-quarter financial highlights, for the period ending June 30. (To read the entire press release, click here.) The company, which entered into an agreement in June to be acquired by Apollo Global Management in a deal expected to be concluded early in the fourth quarter.

Shutterfly reported net revenue of $473 million, with an operating loss of $7.9 million and a net loss of $13 million. Shutterfly Consumer segment net revenue totaled $170 million, a 3% year-over-year increase. Lifetouch segment GAAP net revenue was $254 million, an 11% year-over-year increase, while segment non-GAAP net revenue was $254 million, a 3% year-over-year decrease. Shutterfly Business Solutions segment net revenue remained relatively flat at $50 million.

Due to the pending acquisition, management is not holding the customary earnings call. Also, the company announced the early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 was granted on July 17, 2019, effective immediately. That means it’s less likely the Department of Justice will throw up early roadblocks.

[1] During the third quarter of 2018, the Company identified certain amounts attributable to the repayment of accreted interest on its convertible senior notes that should have been classified as cash used in operating activities instead of cash used in financing activities. Such error resulted in a $63.5 million understatement of net cash used in operating activities with a corresponding understatement of cash provided by financing activities in the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 above has been revised to reflect the appropriate classification of such repayment between financing and operating activities.

[1] The six months ended June 30, 2019 includes an immaterial out-of-period adjustment for shipping services provided in the fourth quarter of 2018 of $2.8 million, which increased cost of net revenue and lowered segment margin.

[2] The margins reported reflect only costs that are directly attributable or allocable to a specific segment and exclude purchase accounting adjustments, corporate expenses, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring, acquisition-related, and executive transition and strategic review charges.

[3] The Company acquired Lifetouch on April 2, 2018.

[4] Lifetouch net revenue presented in management reporting related to certain obligations that would have otherwise been recorded by Lifetouch as an independent entity but were not recognized in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 due to business combination accounting requirements.

[5] Business combination accounting principles require the Company to measure acquired inventory at fair value. The fair value of inventory reflects Lifetouch’s cost of manufacturing plus a portion of the expected profit margin. Segment reporting excludes this purchase accounting adjustment from cost of net revenue for the Lifetouch segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
