EX-99.1 2 a4757167ex991.txt PRESS RELEASE EXHIBIT 99.1 Glacier Water Announces Third Quarter and Year to Date Results VISTA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 2004--Glacier Water Services, Inc. (AMEX:HOO) announced results for the quarter ended September 26, 2004. Brian McInerney, Chief Executive Officer of Glacier Water, said, "We are pleased to report increased revenues for the third quarter and the nine months that ended September 26, 2004. Despite the impact of the major hurricane activity in Florida and the unusually cool summer in California, revenues increased by 4.3% during the third quarter. The Company has made significant progress with a major initiative to upgrade its outside water vending machines. The upgrade results in the next generation machine (`G-2') with a new modern appearance and increased functionality. The Company plans to complete the upgrade of approximately 11,000 outside machines over the next 12 months." Revenues for the quarter ended September 26, 2004 increased 4.3% to $21,332,000 compared to $20,447,000 for the same quarter a year ago. For the nine-month period ended September 26, 2004 revenues increased 6.1% to $58,123,000 compared to $54,770,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in revenues for the three- and nine-month periods was driven primarily by revenues associated with the Water Island acquisition in October 2003, offset partially by the impact of the cooler than normal summer in California and the negative impact of hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne, which temporarily shut down several hundred of the Company's machines. All machines have since been put back into service. The Company's income from operations for the quarter ended September 26, 2004 was $2,895,000 compared to $3,029,000 in the same period last year. For the nine-month period ended September 26, 2004, income from operations was $5,348,000 compared to $4,756,000 for the same period last year, representing a $592,000 or 12.4% improvement. The Company's net income applicable to common stockholders for the quarter ended September 26, 2004, was $986,000, or $0.46 per basic and $0.38 per diluted share, compared to income of $1,160,000, or $0.61 per basic and $0.51 per diluted share, for the same period last year. For the nine-month period ended September 26, 2004, the net loss applicable to common stockholders was $396,000, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, compared to a loss of $467,000, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. With approximately 15,200 machines located in 39 states throughout the United States, Glacier is the leading provider of high quality, low-priced drinking water dispensed to consumers through self-service vending machines located at supermarkets and other retail locations.
