Body Central Corp. Announces Fourth Quarter 2011 Sales Results

Comparable Store Sales Increase 7% in Fourth Quarter 2011

Expects Earnings Results at High End of Guidance Range

 

Jacksonville, FL - January 9, 2012 - Body Central Corp. (Nasdaq: BODY) today announced sales results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2011.

 

Sales results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011:

 

·                  Net revenues for the quarter increased 20% to $80.7 million, compared to $67.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.

·                  Store sales rose 21% to $73.0 million.  Comparable store sales increased 7%.

 

Sales results for the fifty-two weeks ended December 31, 2011:

 

·                  Net revenues increased 22% to $296.5 million from $243.4 million for the same period a year ago.

·                  Store sales rose 25% to $261.9 million driven by a comparable store sales increase of 11% and a net store unit increase of 15% from the prior year.

 

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2011 EPS Outlook:

 

·                  Based on sales results in the fourth quarter, the Company now expects fourth quarter EPS to be in the range of $0.36 and $0.37, and $1.21 to $1.22 for Fiscal 2011, both at the high end of the previous guidance range.

 

Allen Weinstein, Body Central’s President and CEO, stated: “Our fourth quarter sales were driven by our continued focus on providing on-trend fashion at value prices. In addition to the solid comparable store sales increase, our new stores and e-commerce business turned in a strong sales performance for the fourth quarter.  Due to the unseasonably warm weather, we took timely markdowns on cold weather categories to ensure that we were in a good inventory position to start the new year.  We believe that our overall sales results continue to validate our future growth potential.”
