hhgregg, Inc. (“hhgregg” or “the Company”) today reported net income of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, or diluted net income per share of $0.06, compared with net income of $2.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in net income and diluted net income per share was primarily attributable to three factors:

• Gross profit margin, expressed as gross profit as a percentage of net sales, declined 60 basis points versus last year largely driven by the anticipated reduction in appliance sales relative to our historical net sales mix. The appliance product category historically has generated higher gross profit margins than the Company’s average, particularly during the first half of the fiscal year. While appliance gross profit margins exceeded the company average during the three months ended June 30, 2008, the appliance category accounted for 44% of total sales versus 47% in the comparable prior year period, negatively impacting the consolidated gross profit margin. Gross profit margin in the video category increased moderately over the comparable prior year period. A shift in sales mix within the other product category had a modest negative impact on the consolidated gross profit margin compared to the prior year as a decline in mattress sales and an increase in notebook computer sales were partially offset by an increase in furniture and accessories.

• Net advertising expense as a percentage of net sales increased 59 basis points with a majority of the increase tied to launching new markets in Florida. hhgregg enters each new demographic market area with a target “share of voice” for the marketplace. The Company typically adds locations quickly in these demographic market areas to leverage its

marketing investment. The Company plans to add six locations in its core Florida demographic market areas over the next two fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2008 which is expected to improve its net advertising ratio, measured as net advertising expense as a percentage of net sales, in those markets.

• SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales increased 37 basis points primarily due to significant growth investments comprised of store pre-opening expenses associated with six new store openings and one relocation during the first fiscal quarter of this fiscal year versus two new store openings during the same quarter last year, as well as the opening of a new Central Distribution Center and creation of a divisional management team designed to support over 30 stores in central and northern Florida. These growth investments negatively impacted SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales by approximately 75 basis points, but were partially offset by effective cost controls over general and administrative expense and a reduction in bonus expense.

Dennis May, President and COO of the Company, commented, “We were pleased with our quarterly performance, with strong results in our video category and prudent and effective SG&A cost management, balancing the anticipated downturn in our core appliance business. We successfully opened our Florida distribution center and staffed our Florida management team and have been pleased with our initial new store results. We look forward to adding more stores in Florida this year, not only gaining a foothold in a market that has strong long-term potential but also leveraging our distribution and marketing investments in the short-term.”

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased 16.2% over net sales for the comparable prior year period to $295.4 million. The increase in sales for the first quarter was primarily attributable to the addition of 18 stores during the past 12 months offset by a 2.6% decrease in comparable store sales.

Net sales mix and comparable store sales percentage changes by product category for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

	Net Sales Mix Summary				Comparable Store Sales Summary
	2008		2007		2008		2007
Video	43	%	39	%	5.5	%	9.5	%
Appliances	44	%	47	%	(9.7	)%	6.9	%
Other (1)	13	%	14	%	(0.5	)%	18.7	%
Total	100	%	100	%	(2.6	)%	8.8	%

⁽¹⁾ Primarily consists of audio, personal electronics, mattresses, notebook computers and furniture and accessories.

hhgregg’s 2.6% comparable store sales decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily reflected double-digit comparable store unit sales declines of entry-level and lower mid-price point major appliance products. High efficiency front-load laundry and refrigeration experienced modest comparable store unit increases and contributed to higher average selling prices for the appliances category for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The video sales performance was fueled by triple-digit comparable store sales growth in large flat panel LCD televisions, outpacing the double-digit sales decline in projection and tube televisions. The comparable store sales decrease in the other product category was due to decreased sales of mattresses and personal electronics, partially offset by increased sales of notebook computers and furniture and accessories.

Net interest expense was $1.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $3.6 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in net interest expense was primarily attributable to the reduction in debt outstanding following the refinancing completed in July 2007.

Fiscal Year 2009 Guidance

The Company reaffirms its sales and earnings guidance for fiscal 2009. Comparable stores sales are expected to decline in the low single digits, net sales are expected to grow between 19% and 21% and diluted net income per share is anticipated to range between $1.13 and $1.20 for fiscal 2009. The Company has identified additional attractive real estate opportunities and now plans to open between 18 and 20 new stores during fiscal 2009 compared with prior guidance of 15 to 17 new stores. Accordingly, capital expenditures net of sale and leaseback proceeds are expected to range between $29 million and $31 million for fiscal 2009 compared with prior guidance of $28 million to $30 million.

While the Company does not provide specific projections for quarterly comparable store sales, it expects to see improvement in this metric during the second half of the fiscal year reflecting not only the less difficult year-over-year comparisons, but also the natural shift in the Company’s balance of sale during the year from appliances in the spring and summer to video in the fall and winter. Likewise, the Company does not provide specific quarterly forecasts for diluted net income per share, but it expects similar difficult year-over-year comparisons during the second quarter not only due to the expected trends in comparable store sales, but also due to the incidence and concentration of pre-opening expenses associated with its front-loaded store opening plans for the year as well as the de-leveraging impact of the Company’s third central distribution center in Florida.
