EX-99.1 2 a4885456-ex991.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Glacier Water Announces First Quarter Results VISTA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2005--Glacier Water Services, Inc. (Amex:HOO) announced financial results for the quarter ended April 3, 2005. Brian McInerney, Chief Executive Officer of Glacier Water, said, "While revenues for the quarter were flat versus prior year at $17,543,000, we continued our investment for the future in the form of a major initiative to upgrade our outside water vending machines. The upgrade results in the next generation water vending machine ("G-2") with a new modern appearance and increased functionality. To date, the Company has upgraded over 8,500 machines. We expect to complete upgrades on a total of approximately 11,000 machines by early third quarter." Revenues for the quarter ended April 3, 2005 were $17,543,000, flat versus the same quarter a year ago. For the quarter ended April 3, 2005, the Company's income from operations was $107,000 as compared to $729,000 for the same period a year ago. The decrease in income from operations was driven by increased depreciation associated with the G-2 capital expenditures. The Company's net loss applicable to common stockholders for the quarter ended March 28, 2004, was $1,973,000 or $0.91 per basic and diluted share, compared to a loss of $1,201,000 or $0.57 per basic and diluted share for the same quarter last year. The decrease was driven primarily by increased depreciation expense and increased interest expense resulting from higher outstanding borrowings on the Company's credit facility as a result of the G-2 initiative. With approximately 15,100 machines located in 39 states throughout the United States, Glacier is the leading provider of high quality, great tasting drinking water dispensed to consumers through self-service bottled water machines located at supermarkets and other retail locations.
