hhgregg, Inc. (“hhgregg” or “the Company”) today reported net income of $3.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net loss of $6.9 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. Included in the net loss for the prior year quarter is a pretax loss of $21.1 million, or $0.40 net loss per diluted share, related to the early extinguishment of debt associated with the debt refinancing completed concurrently with the Company’s initial public offering in July 2007. Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2008 was $5.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million or $0.13 per diluted share, for the six months ended September 30, 2007. The net loss in the prior year period included a pretax loss on early extinguishment of debt of $21.7 million, or $0.43 net loss per diluted share. The decrease in earnings, excluding the loss on the early extinguishment of debt in the prior year, reflected a decline in comparable store sales, a significant increase in advertising expense, and investments in distribution and management infrastructure to support planned growth in Florida.

Dennis May, President and COO of the Company, commented, “We were pleased with the resiliency of our business model which has performed well in a difficult economic environment. We developed and executed a plan to deliver stable gross margins and effectively leverage our general and administrative expenses, excluding the impact of certain growth investments, as compared with the prior year period. We invested heavily in advertising to maximize store traffic in new and existing markets, affording our consultative, commissioned sales team the opportunity to distinguish us from the competition. Lastly, we closely managed our inventories and working capital, placing us in a good position to fund our projected organic store growth for the current fiscal year from free cash flow.”

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased 11.3% over net sales for the comparable prior year period to $320.3 million. Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2008 increased 13.6% to $615.7 million compared to $542.1 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in sales for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to the addition of 23 stores during the past 12 months partially offset by an 8.8% and 6.0% decrease in comparable store sales, respectively.

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

	Net Sales Mix Summary								Comparable Store Sales Summary
	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,				Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,

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

The Company’s 8.8% and the 6.0% comparable store sales decreases for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, were driven by double-digit comparable store unit sales declines of major appliance products, particularly at entry-level and lower mid-price points. High efficiency front-load laundry and refrigeration experienced reasonably flat to modestly positive comparable store unit sales increases and contributed to higher average selling prices for the appliances category. The comparable store sales decrease for the three month period in the video category was driven by continued decreases in comparable store sales for projection and tube televisions partially offset by double-digit comparable store sales increases in flat panel LCD televisions. The comparable store sales decrease in the other product category was primarily due to decreased sales of mattresses and personal electronics.

Gross profit margin, expressed as gross profit as a percentage of net sales, was virtually flat for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and decreased 29 basis points for the six months ended September 30, 2008 compared with the respective prior year periods. The appliance product category historically has generated higher gross profit margins than the Company’s average margin, particularly during the first half of the fiscal year. While appliance gross profit margins exceeded the company average as a percentage of sales during the second quarter and the year-to-date period, the appliance category accounted for approximately 3 percentage points less of the consolidated net sales for each period relative to the comparable prior year periods, thereby negatively impacting the consolidated gross profit margin. This was offset by a moderate increase in the gross profit margins realized in the appliance category during the second quarter compared to the prior year period. Gross profit margin in the video category decreased modestly during the three months and six months ended September 30, 2008 as compared with the respective prior year periods. Small shifts in sales mix within the other product category had a modest positive impact on the consolidated gross profit margin during the second quarter and a modest negative impact for the first half of the year when compared with the respective prior year periods.

Net advertising expense, as a percentage of net sales, increased 95 basis points and 78 basis points for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared with the comparable prior year periods. The increases were largely driven by the de-leveraging effect of our comparable store sales decline, particularly in the second quarter, coupled with the heavy advertising spend associated with the launch of new markets in Florida. The Company enters each new demographic market area with a target “share of voice” for the marketplace and typically adds locations quickly in these demographic market areas to leverage its marketing investment. The Company plans to add five more locations in existing Florida demographic markets by March 31, 2009 which the Company expects will help better leverage its advertising costs as a percentage of net sales in those markets.

SG&A expense, as a percentage of net sales, increased 54 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 47 basis points for the six months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the respective prior year periods. The increases were primarily due to growth investments totaling 64 basis points during the second quarter and 70 basis points for the first half largely comprised of store pre-opening expenses associated with new store openings, as well as distribution and management infrastructure investments in Florida. These growth investments, and the de-leveraging effect of our comparable store sales decline, were contained by effective cost controls over general and administrative expense and a reduction in bonus expense.

Fiscal Year 2009 Guidance

Despite the Company closely managing its margins, selling, general and administrative expenses and inventory during this period to ensure a solid working capital position, the economic uncertainty resulting from the turmoil in the financial markets and growing unemployment contributed to a significant drop in customer traffic during the last two weeks of September. It is still difficult to accurately gauge this economic uncertainty and its impact on customer traffic. Accordingly, the Company is revising its previous guidance with a widened range of projected results for fiscal 2009. Based on a comparable store sales decline of between 10% and 17% for the second half of the fiscal year, diluted net income per share for fiscal 2009 would range between $0.75 and $0.90 as compared with previous diluted net income per share guidance of $1.13 to $1.20. This would result in a comparable store sales decline of 8% to 12% for fiscal 2009 as compared with a low single digit comparable store sales decline under prior guidance. Net sales would grow between 6% and 13% for the second half of the fiscal year which would result in net sales growth of between 9% and 13% for the fiscal year as compared with 19% and 21% in previous guidance. The Company still plans to open between 18 and 20 new stores during fiscal 2009, of which 16 have been opened. Capital expenditures, net of sale and leaseback proceeds, are still expected to range between $29 million and $31 million for fiscal 2009. The Company expects to finance these capital expenditures with cash from operations and does not expect to be drawn on its revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2009.

Jerry Throgmartin, Chairman and CEO of the Company, commented, “While we are very focused on operating our business efficiently and effectively in this challenging economic climate, we also continue to position ourselves to grow and capture market share. We will closely monitor our business and make prudent adjustments to our operating and expansion plans to drive shareholder value for the long-term.”
